So charm can be dangerous.
9:10
Okay.
9:10
So I think, I think in my head, I try and put one and two together and, and I think, "I've done this gig.
9:16
Everyone at the gig has gotten drunk.
9:18
I'm back in the village for one night.
9:20
My face is all over the town.
9:21
It's probably someone from the village that's gotten drunk and been like, 'I'm gonna go see Ed and tell him he did a great job.'" Like, cool.
9:27
I'll go downstairs.
13:48
The banging stops.
19:01
So Ed, is there anything you would put in a pre-nup or want to warn the other party about ahead of marriage?
19:08
I reckon my pre-nup would be something sneaky.
19:10
It would be like a game to watch play out.
19:13
Like, I'd, I'd have in my pre-nup, and I wouldn't reference it, I'd have, like, "You're, you're forbidden from telling them where I've hid the treasure." And then every time my wife was like, "Well, what treasure?" I'd be like, "I can't tell you." And at the end, like when I'm on my deathbed, I'll be like, "The treasure was the friends we made along the way." [laughs]

Radio Randall from the state.
1:55
I'm from a really small village in England, like smaller than most small villages are.
2:01
There's not a lot of people there at all.
2:03
And I grew up there from when I was like born to when I left, when I turned 18.
2:10
And I didn't really have a great childhood there.
2:12
I didn't enjoy it very much.
2:13
I wasn't really one of the popular kids.
