00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,460
Welcome back to Redacted

2
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:05,610
Tonight VIP. I'm Lee Camp. A

3
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:08,170
couple days ago, I got the

4
00:00:08,170 --> 00:00:10,850
privilege to talk with Francis

5
00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:13,570
Higgins, the host of the mind-bending

6
00:00:13,570 --> 00:00:15,900
news satire show, Vipers View.

7
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,370
It was his first trip to the

8
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:19,130
United States, which made for

9
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:20,560
some rather interesting

10
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,500
observations. Take a look.

11
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,510
Hello, Francis. Thanks for

12
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:25,740
joining me here.

13
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,150
Thanks very much for having us,

14
00:00:27,150 --> 00:00:28,420
Lee. It's a pleasure.

15
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,200
All right, good, good. First

16
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,720
trip to the U.S., huh? How do

17
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:32,460
you find it?

18
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:34,320
It's absolutely jaw-dropping.

19
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,800
You know, we've been in New

20
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,220
York there for the past two

21
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:39,500
days. It's unbelievable. I'd

22
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,450
like to say it's probably like

23
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:42,880
being in a movie.

24
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,630
In a movie. I don't know if

25
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:45,960
anybody's ever told you that.

26
00:00:46,460 --> 00:00:47,280
Set in New York, I would

27
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:47,960
imagine.

28
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:49,600
Yes. Everything's massive.

29
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:51,620
The people, too.

30
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,090
The people, they all have

31
00:00:53,090 --> 00:00:54,940
American accents. Do you know,

32
00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:56,290
in all the movies I've grown up

33
00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:57,440
watching, they were all

34
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,140
American.

35
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,140
Do you know what I mean?

36
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:00,800
It's bizarre. We're all putting

37
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,320
on a fake accent to impress you.

38
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,300
How would you do it?

39
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,800
It's a team effort. I don't

40
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,820
even know how to describe the

41
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:10,170
videos that you put out, so I'm

42
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:11,740
just going to show a clip

43
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:13,370
rather than just try and

44
00:01:13,370 --> 00:01:15,200
describe a drug trip.

45
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,460
So here we go. A quick clip of

46
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:20,100
one of your Vipers View videos.

47
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,180
Brilliant. Let's roll the dice.

48
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:24,200
Trump arrived in Pittsburgh in

49
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,690
a plane with Trump written on

50
00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:27,210
it. And then when he thought

51
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:28,380
the cameras weren't on,

52
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:29,900
declared his love for steel.

53
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,210
I love steel. Okay? I love

54
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:33,100
steel.

55
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,800
Pittsburgh, of course, is a big

56
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,260
steel-producing city. This

57
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:37,730
remark appealed to the people

58
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:38,620
of the steel.

59
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:39,880
Suck my news!

60
00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:42,390
Protesters, including Michael

61
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:43,910
Stipe from REM, stuck their

62
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:45,720
arms in novelty-sized sticks of

63
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,720
rock. The reason? To protest

64
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,070
against Trident, a nuclear warhead.

65
00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:51,970
Which isn't that bad, really.

66
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:53,130
All it's going to do is kill

67
00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:54,460
shitloads of people.

68
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,890
Oh, such crusties, man. Why do

69
00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:00,680
they always have drums? There's

70
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,520
always some prick with a drum.

71
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,350
All the earth is concerned.

72
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,420
Every country, every citizen of

73
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:07,300
the world.

74
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:09,600
Easy for you to say, you clown.

75
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,830
A lot of these cops squeezed

76
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:12,120
into a van. It's like all the

77
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,370
clowns in a fire engine at the

78
00:02:13,370 --> 00:02:13,960
circus.

79
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,600
This place is a mistreated

80
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,740
camel away from being a circus.

81
00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:19,440
And over at the stump stack

82
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,920
challenge here, we've got 26.

83
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,860
She's looking very sturdy and

84
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:25,920
capable as she lifts up massive

85
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,900
stumps whilst being watched on

86
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:30,940
by a pipe-hitting Bavarian logmaster.

87
00:02:31,180 --> 00:02:32,480
We're having a black mass down

88
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,040
in Mexico, and it looked like

89
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,550
something I would live and let

90
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:36,060
die.

91
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:37,650
But it was a bit meaner. A

92
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:39,500
little bit more nasty, because

93
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,190
they were just sacrificing a

94
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:42,880
poor little goat to bring out

95
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,640
the devil, apparently.

96
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,290
Maybe the devil's in themselves,

97
00:02:47,290 --> 00:02:48,940
the cruel c*****s. It's that f***ing

98
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:50,300
tequila slammer's a*****g.

99
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,420
What's going on here? Oh, Nigel

100
00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:54,800
Farage has launched his own

101
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,380
London City UKIP tour bus.

102
00:02:57,380 --> 00:02:59,510
Great fun for all the family, I'd

103
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:00,000
say.

104
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:01,930
And as he drove through London,

105
00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:03,500
people were cheering.

106
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:07,560
So, where do you get your ideas?

107
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,780
Where do these things come from?

108
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,750
Well, really, I don't have much

109
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:14,420
going on in my head, to be

110
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:14,940
honest.

111
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:17,400
And I just look at the news.

112
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,720
And I like to look at the

113
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,460
videos without any commentary

114
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:21,980
on them, so I can then, you

115
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:23,140
know, come to my own

116
00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:24,180
conclusions.

117
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,570
And believe it or not, people

118
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:28,780
watch that. And I don't have

119
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:30,580
any college education.

120
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,830
I didn't finish school. But I

121
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:35,980
like to watch YouTube videos.

122
00:03:35,980 --> 00:03:37,880
Do you know? That counts as

123
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,620
education in some circles.

124
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:41,090
Nowadays it does. Not circles I

125
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:42,400
prefer to hang out in, but...

126
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,890
Lee, have you ever been down a

127
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,390
rabbit hole of YouTube videos

128
00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:46,930
about conspiracy theories,

129
00:03:46,930 --> 00:03:48,330
stuff going on in the world,

130
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:49,400
hidden agendas?

131
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,060
Mm-hmm.

132
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:51,110
Have you ever been down a

133
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:52,440
Wikipedia hole where you just

134
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,030
keep on clicking on different

135
00:03:54,030 --> 00:03:55,190
words that are highlighted and

136
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:56,620
going, "What does that mean?"

137
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:57,850
And you start off with Syria

138
00:03:57,850 --> 00:03:59,300
and you end up on the moon.

139
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:00,810
So your videos are like a

140
00:04:00,810 --> 00:04:02,490
visual representation of

141
00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:04,540
falling down a bizarre hole.

142
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:05,970
Yeah, it's pretty much the

143
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:07,590
inner turmoil inside my mind,

144
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:09,160
represented in a five-minute

145
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,540
weekly YouTube clip.

146
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:12,220
Did you ever think of titling

147
00:04:12,220 --> 00:04:13,780
it "Accidental Holes"?

148
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:15,150
Maybe not, but I have seen

149
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:17,160
something called "Accidental Holes"

150
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,780
before.

151
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:19,160
Yeah, I bet. But you wouldn't

152
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,780
be able to broadcast that.

153
00:04:19,780 --> 00:04:21,460
No, and some would argue the

154
00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:23,780
same about your videos, but...

155
00:04:23,780 --> 00:04:26,370
No, I love your videos,

156
00:04:26,370 --> 00:04:29,000
actually. They're amazing. They

157
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,610
don't, like you said, they, you

158
00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:31,860
know, they don't seem to

159
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,120
exactly be saying something

160
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,070
concrete, yet they do, in

161
00:04:35,070 --> 00:04:37,860
general, mock the powerful. Are

162
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:38,520
you... Is that kind of the

163
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,780
theme? Like, like, let's say...

164
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:41,410
Like, like, let's mock the

165
00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:43,120
powers that be? Well, I don't

166
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,730
really like the way we get told

167
00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:46,360
the news, anyway. I've never

168
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,070
really liked that. There's

169
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:49,870
always an agenda, is there not,

170
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:51,580
you know, even when you get the

171
00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:53,210
public service broadcasters

172
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:55,280
like the BBC and... I don't

173
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,120
know, is it NBC over here or...

174
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,020
or... Well, the NBC is one of

175
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:01,540
the networks. Would they be

176
00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:03,800
public service? We... We... We...

177
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Well, there's... there's PBS,

178
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,570
which is partially government

179
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:07,910
funded. Right. But I'm sure,

180
00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:09,020
you know, you see those and...

181
00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:12,340
it's... They do... They're not

182
00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:14,020
completely...

183
00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:16,950
...unbiased in their approach.

184
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:18,530
Do you know? They're very

185
00:05:18,530 --> 00:05:19,460
hardly unbiased in their

186
00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:21,320
approach. You know, so, I mean,

187
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,300
I can't rely on that either. I've

188
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,200
never really liked that. It's

189
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,430
always like I've been told what

190
00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:27,020
to believe. So...

191
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,030
So, it's nice just to sit back

192
00:05:29,030 --> 00:05:32,010
and have a look. So, whereas I...

193
00:05:32,010 --> 00:05:33,280
I spend my time screaming and

194
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,020
developing various ulcers...

195
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:37,200
uh... at the fact that these...

196
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,800
this news that we're getting is,

197
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,460
uh... you know, so wrong or

198
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:43,190
manipulated, uh... you... you

199
00:05:43,190 --> 00:05:44,020
kind of...

200
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:46,160
...mishmash it all together to

201
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,890
give that impression. You give

202
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:49,320
a feeling, whereas I just

203
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,510
scream. Yeah, well, thanks very

204
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:53,200
much. Because, really, it is

205
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,560
just me sitting in my bedroom

206
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,020
at home every week...

207
00:05:56,020 --> 00:05:57,620
uh... screaming at the computer.

208
00:05:57,620 --> 00:05:58,930
But, uh... you know, I can do a

209
00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:00,160
retake where the... the

210
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,020
microphone doesn't peak...

211
00:06:01,020 --> 00:06:01,990
...and it sounds like I'm a

212
00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:03,050
little bit more presentable.

213
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:05,150
But, um... I have a lot of fun

214
00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:06,810
doing it. And there's a lot of

215
00:06:06,810 --> 00:06:07,870
crazy stuff going on in the

216
00:06:07,870 --> 00:06:09,020
world today, you know?

217
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,210
So many mixed media, mixed

218
00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:11,670
messages, this, that, and the

219
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:13,370
other. Uh... people getting

220
00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:14,690
their information from their

221
00:06:14,690 --> 00:06:16,330
timelines on Facebook. Do you

222
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:17,020
know? Mm-hmm. Um...

223
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:18,210
It's nice to maybe be

224
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:19,960
contributing something into

225
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,740
that matrix, that blue pill

226
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:23,390
Mark Zuckerberg matrix where

227
00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:25,210
people get all their news now,

228
00:06:25,210 --> 00:06:26,020
you know? Yeah, they...

229
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:28,050
Algorithmically selected, uh...

230
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:29,820
news bites. Yeah. Everyone's

231
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,020
sucking on the algorithm. That's...

232
00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:32,650
They are. They love the

233
00:06:32,650 --> 00:06:33,480
algorithm. That's all it is.

234
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,020
That's all it is. That's all it

235
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:34,020
is.

236
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:35,040
They can't get enough of the

237
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,640
algorithm. No. They... Well,

238
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,700
you gotta bow down and really

239
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:38,810
pray to the algorithm, I feel

240
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:40,140
like, at the end of the day. If

241
00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:41,350
you don't succumb to the

242
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:43,020
algorithm, the algorithm will

243
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:45,410
force you down. And it'll... it'll

244
00:06:45,410 --> 00:06:47,340
just get a hold of you. Have it's

245
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:48,540
way. It will, yeah. And I don't

246
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:51,020
want that. No. No. None of us...

247
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:52,800
None of us... None of us...

248
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,480
None of us do. Uh... what's

249
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,430
your... what's your... process

250
00:06:56,430 --> 00:06:58,610
in... in creating these? And...

251
00:06:58,610 --> 00:06:59,830
and were you creating them a

252
00:06:59,830 --> 00:07:01,100
long time before you ended up

253
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:02,730
with the... with the show on RT

254
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:05,810
UK or... or... or... I did for

255
00:07:05,810 --> 00:07:08,510
a year or two, yeah. And, like,

256
00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:09,800
I just select different news

257
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,520
clips from around the world and...

258
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,020
and talk about them and...

259
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:15,080
And, you know, it was great

260
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
that Lorcan Fox, my director,

261
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,280
who works in R.C., he saw them.

262
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:20,260
He said, do you know what?

263
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,530
I don't know what it is that

264
00:07:21,530 --> 00:07:22,300
you've got.

265
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:23,280
I don't know what it is that

266
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,960
you're doing.

267
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,990
But it's pretty good, do you

268
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:26,620
know?

269
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,070
And he managed to get us on the

270
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:29,540
little showing that I've got

271
00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:30,120
going.

272
00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:31,680
It's an internet-based show.

273
00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:32,880
It's not on TV, but don't let

274
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,720
that put you off.

275
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:34,760
It could be one day.

276
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,120
Hey, we need to dream.

277
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,500
And I think the motto should be,

278
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:39,650
I don't know what you've got

279
00:07:39,650 --> 00:07:40,800
and I don't know what you're

280
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,600
doing, like you just said.

281
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,900
I think that's a good motto for

282
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:44,280
a show.

283
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,980
Start humble and work your way

284
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:47,690
to the top, you know, and then

285
00:07:47,690 --> 00:07:49,540
become horrible in that way.

286
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,620
So you're kind of one of these

287
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:53,740
just found online beautiful

288
00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:56,020
things that has blossomed like

289
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:57,060
a flower.

290
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,690
Found, yeah, and blossomed is a

291
00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:00,300
nice term as well, you know.

292
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:02,110
Found, but hopefully I'm not

293
00:08:02,110 --> 00:08:03,730
going to be put back or lost,

294
00:08:03,730 --> 00:08:06,170
you know, which is probably

295
00:08:06,170 --> 00:08:09,050
what could happen in this cruel

296
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:09,640
world

297
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,490
where if you don't conform to

298
00:08:11,490 --> 00:08:13,610
standard norms and opinions and

299
00:08:13,610 --> 00:08:15,780
whatnot, you're discarded.

300
00:08:16,140 --> 00:08:17,690
Or, you know, you might go

301
00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:18,420
missing.

302
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,230
Where do you, very true, where

303
00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:21,770
do you even find half of this

304
00:08:21,770 --> 00:08:22,560
footage?

305
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:24,770
Because the things you somehow

306
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:26,990
have collected, were you just

307
00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:28,790
in the hills of Ireland and

308
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:31,320
just grabbing weird video bits?

309
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,920
We recently got broadband

310
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,540
internet.

311
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:34,220
Okay.

312
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:35,260
There you go.

313
00:08:35,620 --> 00:08:36,880
Which I don't know if you have

314
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,800
over here in America, but it's

315
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,520
very fast.

316
00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:40,480
Sounds like it.

317
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:42,690
And that allowed me to watch

318
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:45,360
videos online, streaming videos.

319
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:48,180
And I just, you know, Google.

320
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,260
I'd go on Google.

321
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,510
And now, you know, I use all Ruptly,

322
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:53,620
Russia Today's video archive.

323
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,840
They have, you know, an

324
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,580
outstanding amount of footage.

325
00:08:56,980 --> 00:08:58,220
So I just go on that, have a

326
00:08:58,220 --> 00:08:58,680
look.

327
00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:00,240
Sometimes I don't even read the

328
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,500
titles or synopsis of the

329
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:03,000
videos and just try and come to

330
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,100
terms of what I see.

331
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:05,490
Those titles will just pollute

332
00:09:05,490 --> 00:09:06,080
your brain.

333
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:06,860
Exactly.

334
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Absolutely.

335
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,490
Again, we don't want to be put

336
00:09:08,490 --> 00:09:09,060
into a box.

337
00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:09,580
No.

338
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,320
I do want to show a clip of

339
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,260
your New York journey.

340
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:14,740
You got here.

341
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:15,700
You checked out New York.

342
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,200
Yeah, Odyssey.

343
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:17,960
So we'll show a quick minute of

344
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,480
that.

345
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:19,980
And then I want your take on

346
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:21,000
New York City.

347
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,560
Thanks, Lee.

348
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,250
Welcome to the New York City

349
00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:23,960
Marathon.

350
00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:25,680
Marathon 2016.

351
00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:26,680
Sorry.

352
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:28,960
Excuse me.

353
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,960
Sorry, what's going on?

354
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:37,060
Do you know what I mean?

355
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:38,480
It's one of those days.

356
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:40,520
I like to get a cross-section

357
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,680
of people and who's voting for

358
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,380
who and everything.

359
00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:45,680
Just here with Caesar, who's

360
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,960
just after dropping me off in

361
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,840
Williamsburg.

362
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:49,030
Thanks very much for the lift,

363
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:49,500
Caesar.

364
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:50,850
Who are you going to be voting

365
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:51,940
for in the election?

366
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:54,110
I mean, I probably am going to

367
00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:55,680
vote for Hillary.

368
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:56,440
Right.

369
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,320
Best of the worst.

370
00:09:57,660 --> 00:09:58,930
If you could get Trump, would

371
00:09:58,930 --> 00:09:59,880
you fight him?

372
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,900
Maybe.

373
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:03,640
Why not?

374
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:05,340
Caesar's after you.

375
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,680
F***.

376
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,200
So, the big city.

377
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,000
It's amazing.

378
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,120
It's amazing.

379
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,880
The Windy Apple.

380
00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:13,790
It's just, it doesn't stop,

381
00:10:13,790 --> 00:10:14,540
does it?

382
00:10:15,020 --> 00:10:15,320
No.

383
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:15,740
Do you know?

384
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,620
You know it's the city that

385
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:17,200
never sweeps.

386
00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:17,820
It is.

387
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,580
Exactly.

388
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,220
And, but I did have a nap, you

389
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:21,920
know, there the other day.

390
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:23,400
And, uh...

391
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Is that legal?

392
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:24,340
Yeah, sweep, though.

393
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:25,600
It is a bit dirty.

394
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,800
But once you get outside it,

395
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,150
everything's remarkably clean

396
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:28,780
in America.

397
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,940
Washington is just very...

398
00:10:31,780 --> 00:10:32,700
Not the politics.

399
00:10:33,140 --> 00:10:33,440
No.

400
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:35,020
God, it's very funny, isn't it?

401
00:10:35,060 --> 00:10:36,400
How the streets are sparkling.

402
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:37,580
The streets are sparkling.

403
00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:38,970
Inside those buildings, there's

404
00:10:38,970 --> 00:10:39,660
a lot of dirt.

405
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:40,780
It's true.

406
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:42,470
But New York wears its dirt on

407
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:44,040
its sleeve, you know?

408
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,800
It's all out there.

409
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:46,030
And then you get inside the

410
00:10:46,030 --> 00:10:47,070
belly of the beast, and it's

411
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:48,130
got a lot of character, a lot

412
00:10:48,130 --> 00:10:49,600
of flavor, a lot of nice people.

413
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:52,130
And we were at that marathon

414
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:52,800
job.

415
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,200
Right.

416
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,810
Which a lot of the crowd were

417
00:10:54,810 --> 00:10:56,700
using as a chance to, you know,

418
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:58,380
get their political message

419
00:10:58,380 --> 00:10:59,060
across.

420
00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:00,680
Let me ask you, what were those

421
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,980
people running from?

422
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:03,880
They were running from, I don't

423
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,160
know, their hopes, their fears.

424
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,000
Do you know?

425
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,020
I met an old lady there.

426
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:10,630
She was about nearly 70, and

427
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:11,930
she'd run two marathons in a

428
00:11:11,930 --> 00:11:12,460
week.

429
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160
And I think she was just full

430
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,280
of life.

431
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,190
And I couldn't even walk, you

432
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:22,540
know, 26 minutes in a direction.

433
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,710
But she'd been doing it for a

434
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:26,580
couple of years now.

435
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:27,560
Like, it's mad.

436
00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:28,860
It's crazy.

437
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,380
It's shock and stuff, Lee.

438
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:32,060
Yeah.

439
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,180
But I don't know what they're

440
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:33,880
running from.

441
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,270
I know that the Gabriel Hayley

442
00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:36,990
Slassie boys, the Ethiopian lads,

443
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:38,490
they finished in good time, you

444
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:40,160
know, with the other Kenyan lads,

445
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,300
as they always do.

446
00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:42,820
Then there was the stragglers.

447
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,740
Then there was the Ejits in

448
00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:46,680
costumes, the hijinks that we

449
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,420
see at these marathons.

450
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,170
And, you know, it was a great

451
00:11:51,170 --> 00:11:51,960
show.

452
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:53,620
It's not often I get someone

453
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:55,150
from overseas here in the

454
00:11:55,150 --> 00:11:55,880
studio.

455
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:57,720
So I want to ask you, you know,

456
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,580
what's your take on Brexit?

457
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:01,250
Is it a stupid word, or you

458
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:02,400
like the word?

459
00:12:02,740 --> 00:12:04,860
It's a very annoying word.

460
00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:06,340
And I can't wait to see the

461
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:08,190
back of it, but it doesn't look

462
00:12:08,190 --> 00:12:09,690
like it's going to be gone

463
00:12:09,690 --> 00:12:10,740
anytime soon,

464
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,180
because they've messed it up.

465
00:12:13,260 --> 00:12:14,220
They've fudged it up.

466
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,230
And now it's just going to be

467
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:18,790
like some kind of, oh, we voted,

468
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:20,740
but, jeez, do we really want

469
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:21,440
this?

470
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,100
I don't know.

471
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:22,900
We're scared.

472
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,280
And now Scotland's going to

473
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,580
break off too, right?

474
00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:26,040
Yeah.

475
00:12:26,180 --> 00:12:28,460
Well, more power to them, to be

476
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:31,360
honest, because, you know, sure,

477
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,620
the English did some number on

478
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:35,380
quite a few people.

479
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,160
I won't point a finger, but I

480
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,780
will point it at the English.

481
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,630
But, no, they're great in their

482
00:12:40,630 --> 00:12:42,100
own way, but they're very

483
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:43,240
materialistic.

484
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,220
And then you get to the Celtic

485
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:47,490
outskirts of the countries, and

486
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:49,320
I'd like to say there's a bit

487
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,690
more down-to-earth, you know,

488
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:53,920
kind of vibe going on there.

489
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:57,120
People are a bit more self-deprecating,

490
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,690
and they can take the piss out

491
00:12:58,690 --> 00:13:00,150
of themselves a little bit

492
00:13:00,150 --> 00:13:00,840
easier.

493
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:03,170
But, no, the English, once they

494
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:04,940
are out of Europe, they're out

495
00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:05,860
of Europe.

496
00:13:05,980 --> 00:13:07,900
That's their own crack.

497
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,400
But we would like to break away

498
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:10,920
as well.

499
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,410
In Ireland, they still have six

500
00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:13,480
counties at the top.

501
00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:13,920
Yeah.

502
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:15,300
Which they're just holding on

503
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:15,600
to.

504
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,180
They just won't.

505
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,700
They love them.

506
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,830
It was just kind of like, held

507
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:19,780
on to them was just a final

508
00:13:19,780 --> 00:13:20,320
fuck you.

509
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:22,130
Yeah, yeah, and it's lasting as

510
00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:22,600
well.

511
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:24,520
Now, because of the exit from

512
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,360
the EU, they're saying that

513
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,290
they might have to impose some

514
00:13:28,290 --> 00:13:30,280
sort of hard border on Northern

515
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Ireland.

516
00:13:31,540 --> 00:13:32,040
Build a wall.

517
00:13:32,420 --> 00:13:34,030
Yeah, they want to do an old

518
00:13:34,030 --> 00:13:34,760
job on it.

519
00:13:34,820 --> 00:13:34,840
That old works.

520
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,340
Build a wall.

521
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:35,920
In Ireland.

522
00:13:36,060 --> 00:13:37,060
But I don't think it's going to

523
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:38,320
happen, to be honest, because

524
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,380
it's just ridiculous.

525
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,000
Like, you know, to simplify it

526
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,140
all, just give the bloody

527
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:45,760
counties back.

528
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,560
Do you know what I mean?

529
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,880
It's that easy.

530
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,880
But it isn't.

531
00:13:50,420 --> 00:13:50,680
Yeah.

532
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:51,280
But it should be.

533
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,080
It should be.

534
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:53,300
But it isn't.

535
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,710
You know, it's almost like

536
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:55,990
people in all these different

537
00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:57,560
areas of the world, they always

538
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:58,890
come up with these things that

539
00:13:58,890 --> 00:13:59,860
cause tension.

540
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:00,860
Yeah.

541
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,180
Humans are good at that.

542
00:14:02,180 --> 00:14:03,680
And I feel like your videos are

543
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:05,460
good at mocking humans for that.

544
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:06,340
Yes.

545
00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:08,370
Humans are very self-assured as

546
00:14:08,370 --> 00:14:10,180
a species, aren't they?

547
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,580
Very quick to forget that they're

548
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,340
only animals.

549
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:12,960
Do you know?

550
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:14,580
We're all just irrational

551
00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:16,470
beings at the end of the day,

552
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:18,320
but we've got great brains.

553
00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:19,880
We've made some good stuff.

554
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:20,220
Yeah.

555
00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:21,540
You guys went to the bloody

556
00:14:21,540 --> 00:14:21,980
moon.

557
00:14:22,940 --> 00:14:23,500
Do you know what I mean?

558
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:23,840
Yeah.

559
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:26,360
But more of that moon crack and

560
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,940
less of the, you know, mooning

561
00:14:28,940 --> 00:14:29,660
society.

562
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Literally dropping your pants

563
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:31,940
and going.

564
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:32,780
I'm sure they did that while

565
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:33,480
they were up there.

566
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,180
I'm sure.

567
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,940
Maybe they did.

568
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:35,820
Buzz and the boys.

569
00:14:36,060 --> 00:14:36,300
Yeah.

570
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:37,080
Buzz Lightyear.

571
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:37,560
Some man.

572
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,550
But thank you so much for the

573
00:14:39,550 --> 00:14:41,720
videos that you put out exploiting

574
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,880
these human problems, showing

575
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,120
them to people.

576
00:14:45,340 --> 00:14:46,100
Thank you very much.

577
00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:47,080
And demonstrating their

578
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,620
insanity.

579
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,380
And I wish you more luck.

580
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Thank you very much.

581
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,860
And it's been a pleasure.

582
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,940
And thank you very much.

583
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:54,380
All right.

584
00:14:54,380 --> 00:14:55,120
Thanks for joining me.

585
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,100
Good luck.

586
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,140
That's all the time I have.

587
00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:59,920
