00:00 Sam!
00:02 Hello!
00:04 Hey darling!
00:06 Oh hello!
00:08 That's much cooler isn't it?
00:10 I'm not cool!
00:12 Hello everyone!
00:14 How's everyone been?
00:16 Sam, come on now!
00:18 I feel like I've been there since the very beginning!
00:20 You have!
00:22 You basically have!
00:24 I've been doing your head in the longest!
00:26 How has your year been?
00:28 Talk to me in three words!
00:30 Bonkers!
00:32 A rush!
00:34 And just gratitude to be honest!
00:36 Another year above ground!
00:38 Which is a good thing too!
00:40 But also getting to experience
00:42 this wild runaway train of music!
00:44 So yeah, very cool!
00:46 Just met Callum Scott for the first time as well!
00:48 Lovely dude! Did you guys get to chat to him?
00:50 Yeah! Co-lab! Co-lab!
00:52 What a voice!
00:54 Not only have we got Callum here, we've got Take That Lad!
00:56 Gary's already sent some wine down to the dressing room!
00:58 I know what he's after!
01:00 So we sent him a video back, I'll show you!
01:02 But I'm going to perform it instead!
01:04 What did we sing?
01:06 Yeah you and me, we can ride on a star!
01:08 If you stay with me girl, you can get me!
01:10 And I can't say the last bit!
01:12 But just holding his wine!
01:14 All of us in the dressing room just chatting!
01:16 It's very yummy wine! He sent some to me as well!
01:18 It's really good! He's got everyone sorted out!
01:20 Everyone's going to be stumbling around!
01:22 But what about a song for goodness sake?
01:24 We've got lots of them already!
01:26 Can we see you do a co-lab?
01:28 Well me and Gary have already been jamming piano at his house!
01:30 And singing along!
01:32 He's one of the best piano players!
01:34 Everyone knows his other talents and that you can play piano!
01:36 But I don't think they realise how expressive the guy is on piano!
01:40 He's so good!
01:42 Are you learning some tips from Gazza?
01:44 Everything! He seems to have kept his head in the whirlwind of this world that we're all part of!
01:50 How are you finding the whirlwind?
01:52 I'm especially trying to put myself around people that seem like Callum or Gregory Porter!
01:58 People like Gary and the rest of the guys seem to have their head on their shoulders!
02:04 And the thing that is a common thread between all these people is gratitude!
02:08 It's as simple as that!
02:10 And also not believing that they are the author of their skill or talent!
02:14 It's through them not of them!
02:16 And that way they're just such glorious people to spend time with!
02:20 Because they're just appreciative of this blessing that they've managed to get!
02:24 And what happens next year Mr?
02:26 Because I feel like you've ticked every box you can this year!
02:28 And I even saw you performing at Hannah Waddingham's thing!
02:30 Yeah, yeah that was cool!
02:32 What happens next year?
02:34 Writing album two!
02:36 So that's in the works!
02:38 What are you saying album two?
02:40 I thought album one would be the end of us!
02:42 Done! Dusted! In the bin!
02:44 I want you to open that juice shop again as well!
02:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah! When I've got the time!
02:48 What else are you going to be knocking on backstage tonight?
02:50 Well, we've been doing some singing with some absolute legends!
02:54 I'll let you guess who it was!
02:58 Jessica!
03:00 No! A single legend!
03:02 Oh my god!
03:04 I can't say!
03:06 Is she going to be appearing on your second album next year?
03:08 I can't say that either!
03:10 But she's amazing!
03:12 So amazing!
03:14 But yeah man, album two!
03:16 First of all, we're going to South Korea I think!
03:18 We've got the Emmys we're nominated for!
03:20 Apparently we're in the running for a Christmas number one!
03:22 I was tagged in that! I just looked at my phone!
03:24 I think we're number two!
03:26 I don't know how that happened! I swear to god!
03:28 So it's absolutely official!
03:30 Yeah!
