00:00 Hi, nice to meet you. How are you? How are you doing?
00:04 Are you happy to be here tonight?
00:06 100 million percent happy, very happy.
00:08 So what's going to be your resolutions for 2024?
00:12 Don't make any resolutions, because I'll never stick to them.
00:15 But yeah, just try harder.
00:18 He's going to try harder in a year.
00:20 Not to make the resolutions.
00:22 Try harder not to make the resolutions that you won't stick to, but try harder.
00:26 Okay, okay. But are you going to do new music then?
00:30 Are you going to try harder to do new...
00:32 There you go. So in the new year, we're going to have...
00:34 The politically correct answer is have new music, have a new album out, hopefully.
00:39 And do a bit more touring.
00:41 Are you like him? No resolutions for you two?
00:44 No, no resolutions. We like to play day by day, you know.
00:47 Just because it's a new year doesn't mean it's a new me.
00:50 And this is how you work? Day by day?
00:53 Day by day. I feel like it's a song, you know.
00:56 Day by day. Day by day.
00:59 So this is how you work together? In the studio and everything?
01:05 Yeah, in the studio it's been fun.
01:07 We've been doing a lot of studio work recently.
01:10 Making music with songwriters and artists.
01:13 And new talent that we've been working with.
01:17 So it's going to be a really exciting 2024, I think.
01:21 To start releasing some of the music.
01:24 I've been asked to ask you Christmas questions,
01:26 but I feel like you don't want the Christmas questions.
01:29 I love Christmas. We love Christmas.
01:31 Give us the Christmas questions.
01:33 Do you have any traditions during Christmas with your fam?
01:36 Yeah, just basically...
01:41 What are your traditions?
01:43 Hype it up. Because we've got kids now.
01:45 You've got to hype up the whole idea of Santa.
01:48 Oh, Santa. I forgot.
01:51 We try and look for him in the clouds.
01:53 Or in the sky. And try and find him.
01:56 Do they believe in it? How old are they?
01:58 They're like three and six. They love it.
02:00 But I don't really have any traditions apart from making it very magical.
02:04 As magical as I can make it.
02:06 So you're going to stay here for Christmas?
02:08 Or are you going to go in the countryside?
02:10 We're going to stay here this year.
02:13 Are you a Londoner?
02:15 London is beautiful at Christmas because there's no one here.
02:18 It feels like a nice little village.
02:21 All the students are gone. All the young'uns.
02:23 Is joking at you? Is joking at you?
02:26 Is it a funny one?
02:28 It depends. It depends what kind of comedy you like.
02:32 Thank you so much, guys.
