RICKY GERVAIS | Befriending David Bowie, After Life & the Perfect Joke | JHHP #4

I'm just thinking about that, yeah, and then you have Logan Paul Gander in Japan, so yeah, absolutely, the broke player is like, is there anything you still have to check off your bucket list? Show Business, working with a particular person, maybe, gosh, but the first. that came to mind, I would love to, I'm not even working with him, yeah, it's like, oh yeah, and I'm a little scared at the same time, right, but Bob Dylan, right, I'm just amazing, what you did when you had Bowie in the extras you were nervous I was yeah I guess he wanted me to do it I guess he wanted to like me right?

I knew I had to take the shots and do the right thing, yeah, and I knew the song would work and he would do it, but I guess I wanted him to like me, yeah, I see this, what she already did, we really wouldn't have done it, yeah , every once in a while he would return a favor or I would return the favor and invite me to do a festival with a Highline Festival. in New York that he was curating yeah and I played at Madison Square Garden for him and he introduced me on stage amazing Oh amazing amazing absolutely amazing yeah and from time to time we were friends and then I had to remember that it was David Bowie the guy who I loved it because it wasn't um his David Jones, right, it's not David, but David Bowie doesn't exist, that's it, that's it, cartoons, yes, you know David Jones, yes, and I had to remember and you forget.

Yes, mate, yes, oh yes, you're David Bowie too. You did that? But I never asked him questions about it. No no. I didn't say maybe five in the ten years I knew him. I could have asked him about. a song or that and it's true you said you know you know because it didn't seem important um it just didn't seem important well, but yeah, it's true, I think that's also a respectful thing because you understand when you're on a major level, you don't want to be question them constantly, people want to talk about it because they don't ask them, you know, I've met some people and they love it, um, you know, it just depends. in a way it just depends on stressful or yeah, it's just weird.

It's awkward if they think oh because they think it depends on who it is, but it would be weird to suddenly think oh there's a fan in the room mmm yeah, you know, I mean. although that's one more question from Twitter that we asked about this and the other good question, he had a good answer, so this is the most mundane question ever, but if I gave you ten dollars now I wouldn't go to the grocery store. the corner, what would you buy oh oh, don't do it? Seriously, Lunchables, I'm leaving it all out. I like it.

I like french fries. Well, you have to be specific here which chocolate you're going to choose because you're a cookie chocolate, yeah, I'm not a big one. Georgia fan when I first bought Fat Chocolate Hobnobs where at least 50% responsibility I could have a packet of those with a cup of tea, yes my house does it by smashing them at the moment I think OMG there was some that don't I know it was just sugar, wasn't it? It was real getting fat, oh yeah, I mean they're dangerous, yeah, oh yeah, the walkers, cheese and onion, red monster, really yeah, I love them, they get it, there's a sharp edge that isn't now and they kick. your teeth and well there are no sharp edges but they are Maisie so they get stuck in your teeth but then you try them later you feel a bit like chewing gum under the table yeah last question yes Jane died tomorrow, would you take a direct hit on I should explain this in context, it's not just a random question that would literally be the message first.

There's this local heroin addict guy who delivers the papers and talks to him for the first time and he thinks so. I'll try heroin and of course, no, it's not going well because I always thought of a vein similar to that vein. I always think that if I am diagnosed with terminal cancer, I might try it. Mike, we have. lose yes, yes, but you have, you have a career that way, I mean Island Discs and for my luxury item I chose a vat of novocaine because I think you know even when you do those silly fantasy things like um, where would you be? go back in time.

The first thing I always think is or never. I can't go anywhere before, like in 1965, because of dentistry. I just think I need strong, proper painkillers. Someone has to pull your teeth. My grandfather had to pull the thread. he pulled out his tooth with a pair of pliers that didn't even shake because he said he had a toothache in the past and he cut his arms and sewed it up with a needle and thread, yes, yes, there is a pit just by cutting off his leg. no anesthesia, yes, worms in the head pulling worms out of the skull, here we go, it started with worms in the skulls under the stairs, what a lovely, lovely 360 there, Rick, it's been an absolute pleasure again, thank you so much for coming, Stevie, thank you for always being by my side.
