Speaker 2
You know what I mean? It does come back to contact, doesn't it? Yeah,
Speaker 3
definitely. Can
Speaker 2
I ask, because your friendship at school was such an important part of how you found your voice? And I hear you all are doing exactly different things. And you're obviously your still friends with Joe Cornish is in Hollywood. Louis through his making his
Speaker 1
film. I mean, he goes to Hollywood. And he always, but he's been to Hollywood. You know,
Speaker 3
I've been to Hollywood.
Speaker 1
He's mainly in Brixton. Let's be real. He's in
Speaker 3
South London. That's where he lives. That's where
Speaker 1
he belongs.
Speaker 2
So, did you consider yourselves a unit in the way that obviously for the many years you did work together? I mean, what's your relationship like now? What are your plans, if any, for maybe doing things again together?
Speaker 1
Oh, God. I don't know. I mean, we've got such different lives now. Mainly we see each other when it's time to do our Christmas podcast, because we were on the radio for a long time myself and Joe, first of all on XFM and then on 6 Music. And it became a tradition that we would do a festive podcast. And
Speaker 3
then when we
Speaker 1
stopped doing the radio together and I started doing my own solo podcast, I thought it would be nice to carry on doing that. In some ways, it was nice for me to have a clean break from Joe and to do shows that were not, that didn't always have to be funny. Sometimes I talk to people who, you know, it's usually quite a sip. Sometimes it's quite a serious conversation I have with people on the podcast. Not the kind of thing that I would do with Joe necessarily. When Joe and I get together, we definitely revert to being silly boys and talking about movies and just making each other laugh. And so that's very, very nice to maintain. Joe gave me a small part in his film in the kid who would be king. I do
Speaker 3
feel
Speaker 1
as if he could take me a little bit more seriously as an acting talent. I'm very powerful. I have a huge range. But so far, he hasn't availed himself of that resource. There's still time. But no, our lives are so different. I have three children I live out in the country. Joe is not married. He doesn't have children. He's married to his job. What do you want to do next?
