that is something quite beautiful that you do i mean you tell quite observational stories about medicine but also grief and death and heavy topics um but allowing us to kind of process them as the audience in a way that feels kind of light-hearted but you still get that catharsis i think is a real skill so um it's definitely a gift that you have
7:29
Oh yeah, thank you.
7:30
That's very kind of you to say.
7:32
It's funny because when I started, I posed, I was doing online, offline because obviously to do stand-up is very much offline, on stage, telling jokes and the skill set you need to be able to tell jokes in person is a lot different from doing stuff online.
7:45
They're two different sort of skill sets.
7:48
So in stage, you're building the whole story.
7:52
You're setting the context and you have to use words to build a picture in people's minds.

What keeps you going and what does the future look like for you? Are you going to be, you know, weeing in your patients in the future? Are you going to be telling them jokes on the table? Or do you see this as maybe just a branching point? Is this a point where you think, actually, I may end up stepping away completely and I'm okay with that?
11:15
It's, it's insane.
11:16
Yeah, I, I'm disinterested.
11:16
I, I don't think England do the sort of, I call it the tiki-taka sort of style players.
11:22
Don't get me wrong, they've given players like that chances.
11:24
Obviously Foden went to the last World Cup, was at the Euros.
11:27
So players that, you know, you would associate more flair with and technical ability and all those type of things, Foden, Palmer, maybe Grealish, those sort of players.
11:39
I don't think England as a nation, we, we look at those players and we admire them.
