| Alright! | |
| The beginning bit of the pandemic, it was like really nice. | |
| It was about a month where it was like a pre-holiday. | |
| And I thought this is going to be beautiful. | |
| That spirit didn't last that long, did it? | |
| You won't get addicted to that. | |
| You take it in a jungle. | |
| I'm not going to not get addicted to something because there's a toucan nearby. | |
| You should not let your children look at screens. | |
| Now I've got them, I'm like, I'll stick Netflix on and give it a f***ing Rolo, will ya? | |
