Transcript

The interesting thing about the emo labels that, you know, not only were we never emo, we never got the benefit of being emo because we couldn't get booked. Oh boo hoo, you couldn't get any gigs. Just flying it, Kev. Probably couldn't get any gigs because you're a band. What, Kev? Who's crying? Gerard. Gerard, don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you know, I, my sister thinks you're fit, if that helps. I feel bad now. Okay, why don't you tell me about the gig at Wembley Arena? How was that? Um, it was beautiful. Got it. What? A fly. Oh, what is it now? He was innocent. It's only a fly. They only live for about two days, and they eat all day. You think he probably wanted to die? Oh god.
