00:00He had missed his flight. He had four days work, gigs in, oh God, Greece. Sorry, my mind's a little bit blank. In Greece. He had missed the first flight, so that's all down to him. That's his fault.
00:17And then he's panicking about, he'd ordered another one and he'd been recording as well that day for his new album, which he had just been asked to do by Trippin' and Rhythm, which is my label.
00:32And he was buzzing about that and I said, look, you need to leave, you need to leave. Anyway, he's left and his car was taken to a car pound two nights before because he had a bad puncture, well, not bad puncture, but he had had a puncture that did something to the ball joints on the bottom of the car.
00:57So they came away and they towed the car away. So he went back to them the next day and he said, I need to get my sacks and some bits out because I'm going away to the thing.
01:08And for some reason, they wouldn't let him have his sacks back. Now, if they'd let him have his sacks back, this wouldn't have happened.
01:15But they didn't. They said, oh, it's a courtesy car, so we can't let you have this. So he's come home. He's told me. And I said, right, OK, well, look, you haven't got long.
01:29Just get here as quick as you can to get your sacks or maybe I'll meet you halfway. He went, I'll get back to you in five minutes.
01:36I'll get back to you in five minutes.
