Please Keep Me Anonymous with Jordan Stephens

0:00Hello, you're listening to Shag Married Annoyed with me Rosie Ramsay and my husband Christopher Ramsay. On this week's episode of Shag Married Annoyed, please keep me anonymous, we are joined by the wonderful Jordan Stephens. And what a really lovely chat that we had. He's just a proper sound lad. Just a proper sound lad. We had a right laugh. We talk about how mine and Jordan's paths have crossed a few times in the past. Yeah. The paths we've done like the panel show circuit and all these different things and I'd seen him. And it's almost like meeting a different version of him now and we're getting to why.

0:29but he's just proper sound lad I don't really want to over egg the pudding but what a nice kid and it's cause he's going out with a lass from Shields that's exactly what it is all the best lads go out with lasses from Shields he bigs up Shields lasses in our conversation and I'm just like yeah and it's so funny because the was it the day after that we chatted to him that I went to Jade's you went to her album launch album launch and I remember I was chatting to her and a friend of ours that we've got in common Anna and I was like yeah, Jordan just loves Shields last season. And I was like, well, of course he does.

1:03It's just really funny. He actually reveals how he's partly responsible for the name Little Mix as well, which I didn't know. I didn't know that either. And he talks about why Jade and him met at the right time as well as why he loves South Shields so much. He's been here. What's really weird is he's been here loads of times while I've been here. He was talking about walking dogs on the lees and that. I'm like, I'm surprised I haven't bumped into him. I know. I'd be really freaked out if I bumped into him in Shields and I don't know why. It's not a person you would expect to say. It'd be really strange.

1:30It's like, not to talk about jiu-jitsu, I'm going to talk about jiu-jitsu. When you see someone from jiu-jitsu in real life who you normally only say jiu-jitsu, it's really weird. All right, okay. It's like seeing someone you have an affair with out of the shops. Ew! We'll have a little chat about his favourite animal. His favourite animal's foxes and his story about it. Really hysterical story. I was talking about it for a couple of days afterwards. Yeah, I've told loads of people about it. Yeah, yeah. Obviously, we're having a lovely chat to him, but he's on promoting the fact that he is in Entertaining Mr.

1:53Sloan, which is on at the Young Vic until November tics are available now and it's mad in it because we'll get people on to do Please Keep Me Anonymous and to plug whatever they're plugging but we end up just talking about loads of random stuff well that was the premise of the extra podcast was to do the Please Keep Me Anonymous but actually it ends up just being a really nice conversation we barely squeeze them in we very much yeah what's it called when you like crowbar yeah yeah we crowbar them in at the end it's like oh shit we've named it this now you've got to read this turns out we're just sick of talking to each other and we just needed somebody else I think we're freaking people out, you know.

2:25The people who we've done it with, we've got some great names coming up. I think they're like, they're like, God, them two are just excited to be out of the house. It's nice. We really hope you enjoy it and keep your listening out for the rest of them that are coming up. Enjoy! Enjoy!

2:56Hello, you're listening to Shag Married Annoyed. Please keep me anonymous with me, Rosie Ramsey, and my husband, Christopher Ramsey. Yes, hello, you are indeed. It's me, it's Rosie, and our special guest today. He's making his debut at the Young Vic and entertaining Mr Sloan, but you might know him as one half of Rizzle Kicks. Gotta say, that first album, genuinely one of my favourite albums ever. We've just been reciting it, isn't it? I need to say his name. It's John Stevens everywhere! Yay! Yay. Thanks, guys. Some bangers, by the way. Do that first album. Thank you for having me. Thank you.

3:26I mean, there was two after, but it's... The most recent one, Love It. Me maid had it on the other day. We listened to it. We literally sat drinking and we listened to the whole album the whole night. It was fantastic. I am... Big fan. Lost for words there, Chris. I really wasn't expecting that. And thank you. Gotta be honest. No, gotta be honest. I do apologise. Don't know all the words yet. But the first album, do know all the words. To every song? Yeah. That is something I never knew of you. And I appreciate that. And you know what? it was a decent album even the one can you remember when we met yeah one of the first things I asked you no we met and we literally it was years ago on the Advertisement Famous and I literally went well chatted we said a few things I thought like in my head I was like don't ask them straight away but then I was like what is a Little Goodie Two Shoes glue play models and I went what is that line and he went oh yeah it's Little Goodie yeah yeah wow that's some deep well you know what you guys genuinely thank you I feel warm inside and I actually feel a little bit uncomfortable because I don't know I'll take that from you Can you not?

4:20It's just bizarre to me I can't take compliments and I don't like people thanking us too much And I crave this At home in my moments of anxiety I think wouldn't it be great if I went on a podcast and you know immediately one of the presenters said to me how much they loved my music wouldn't that be great and it gets to it now and I'm just like can we move on? But you know you've just got to say thank you I want to now sing so much We met before Virtually Famous a couple of times We did so we met we've met in some odd junctures of life. Yes. Come on then, free to tell. FHM, 100 Sexiest Women. How are you going to say that?

4:55Let's move on from that. We met there. That's a bone of contention for me. Yeah? Yeah. We'd only been together. We'd only been together about six months. I think we got engaged after six months, right? Wow. We'd been newly engaged. And you know, you know. And then Chris was literally like, oh, I'm going to this award show. I was like, oh, right, what is it? FHM, 100 Sexiest Women. Wait, what was that back then? Yeah. I was peak drugs then. Were you? Yeah. What was your favourite?

5:26Is that not something you asked? It's everyone's favourite. My favourite is everyone's favourite. Okay, all right. It's London's favourite. Right, I know what you're talking about. It's, you know, marching. Colombian marching. I've never ever tried it. Yeah. Never ever. She's never tried a drug. Never tried a drug. It was a smoke dope, but then we nearly set a kitchen on fire. So I stopped that. Luckily, my friend hadn't emptied our bath, and we put a dressing gown in the bath. So you set a dressing gown? Oh. Put it over the oven, because the oven set on fire. What were you doing? She made it damp first.

6:00It was a told in an odd order. Yeah, it was like, so we made it. She damped. We wet the dressing gown, and then we put it over the oven. And then put it over the fire. What oven? Oh, do you mean the hob? Also, what's that got to do with smoking weed? I was just stoned. I was just fucking stoked. So I was just like, oh. Yeah. Anyway, that's the hardest drugs I've ever done. I was doing drugs. I was on drugs at that party. Okay, good. Well, not good. I know what you're going to say. What? Don't worry. What am I going to say? What is the story? Go on. No, no, no. I'm not going to. You are genuinely charming.

6:32We had a lovely chat. Thank you, sir. That FHM 100 Sexiest Women Awards was extremely odd because it was, I was hosting it. You were a guest. No, no. It was easily 300 men. I hosted it. I hosted it. I came to the after party. I actually wasn't. I was just there. I just turned up with one of the guys who works there. It was easily 300 men wondering where the 100 sexy women were. There was honestly four women there. All from Hollyoaks. Really odd. So there was none of the women there? No, you're forgetting then. Wait, what am I forgetting? Anyway, we'll leave this for... I mean, I'm not forgetting, but I don't know if I want to say it on the podcast, but it's still one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

7:09Okay, good, as long as you know. It's still one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's a personal thing. Chris witnessed contextually to that part of my life like a quite a quite good bragging rights moment in that the woman who won won did she win? she won one of the awards she won yeah I remember our photo from posters in all of my friends bedrooms when I was younger including me probably begging for his fucking number like nothing I've ever seen but Rosie listen this is the maddest thing about it yeah I was so shocked by this because all my life yeah it really doesn't happen that often.

7:43It was quite an odd scenario. You're literally going out with a pop star, but let's carry on. Yeah, no, I know that, but I know, this is why it's being cut out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I mean, but I mean that like, even if you're, it was just, that doesn't happen that often. Honestly, for men, even if you are attractive, even if you are whatever else, like, especially not with somebody in that context. Anyway, the point was, I freaked out and tried to be really cool about it. It worked. And so I didn't, yeah, but I didn't tell you the next part that happened after. So I just was like, I basically gave my number over and was just like, cool, didn't ask for theirs.

8:17And then was just waiting for a week for the text and it just never came. And I was devastated because I would have liked to have texted her. And then, but then I was like, why was I supposed to fucking call back? Let's swap numbers. Because I was next to the quiz, I was just chilling. I was like, yeah, there you are. I remember telling people, I was calling me mess, I was going, he didn't give a fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was playing cool. But then... It is possible to play it too cool. Yeah, but listen, check this out. The next week, and I'm sat next to someone, yeah, and we're chatting, and they'll be like, oh, yeah, I think we know a few people.

8:50In fact, I think you met my girlfriend the other night. Yeah. But then I was like, oh, and then I was like, thank God. I'm just going to guess. Another time I met you. Yeah. That's cool. Is this a bit neat? No, no, no. This was, I was, I'd finished a gig in Bristol, and I went back, at a hotel divan in bristol and i walked through the bar to my room and i heard a few people talking quietly and i turned to me left and you and harley yeah you and harley from rizzle kicks were sitting on the sofa after your gig both in brightly colored onesies yes just sitting there it's a good era yeah and i went is this the same the same days as drugs yeah and he went yeah and i went you okay and he went yeah you're right yeah you're right yeah i'm i'm chris i'm comedian and we've got a friend in common, Ed Sheeran, oh yeah, yeah.

9:40And I went, yeah. And he went, yeah. And I went, anyway, night. And he went, I'll never forget. You were just sitting there and watching. And he went, night. And then you go. Yo, it was a crazy time, Rosie. I'll be real. I would wear, so let's just, I would not only wear the colour, but you're talking about ones that were like, it's half orange, half blue from memory. It was just, we both got gifted them at one of these capital gigs and we were like, this is the best thing we've ever been in, right? Comfort over everything. but then I found a website a company called Kigu who make animal onesies and I ended up to the point where I bought maybe eight different animal onesies and if I did have a small gathering of people at my house I would make everyone get it and we'd be doing drugs and I'd be dressed as a red panda love it how old were you when Rizzle Kicks how old were you when it all went 19 that's crazy to be really famous I said that to my therapist that's mad so hang on though right because obviously Jade yes Sirwell your partner yes gorgeous friend of ours friend of ours beautiful person I've known Jade since she was like nine it's mad she's gorgeous so that's that must be amazing that you two have got that in common yes to have fame at the same age I think to be able to because this is what we we're able to talk about life and and we both get it if we've done a programme together and it's like oh that was that's so nice to have somebody to be able to chat about that.

11:07I genuinely think that I'm really happy that you've both found someone who understands that level of fame at that age. It must have been insane. In fear of derailing the podcast and just talking about Jade, which is very possible. I thought that's what you were here for. Oh, you've got stuff going on?

11:30I'm joking. For those of you not watching this on YouTube, Rosie just picked up my card and just claimed he had things on the car. I'm still Chris Ramsey's wife to a lot of people in the world. So that's absolutely fine. I don't know about it. Yeah, I mean, I don't mind being Jay's boyfriend. I think it is insane how closely our lives are intertwined. And it's a little bit weird because, firstly, I don't know if you know this, but I'm partly the reason why they're called Little Mix, which is weird. Are you? Yes. I didn't know this. Yeah, it was a weird thing. They used to be called Riv Mix, which was like a Brighton-based charity at the time.

12:03Right. And then we got booked on Extra Factor, which is a live show. Yeah. And on that, in that interview, I said, oh, by the way, Rhythmix is the name of a Brighton-based charity. And it's messed with all the Google searches. And then it, like, started picking up on the internet. And then they changed their name to Little Mix, which is nuts. And then secondly, what's even weirder is I've seen the girls a few times. I actually loved Little Mix. I thought it was wicked. Can we just sort it out? Yeah, yeah. By the way, I've seen them twice live. Like, nothing through Jade, by the way. like I would just rock up and be like how much yeah Little Mix Little Mix of Goals so good yeah yeah it was I loved I just thought it was dope that they were like UK girl group the second album I was really into that and they're so talented so talented they can genuinely sing yeah genuinely talented like live vocals so so but when I saw them and this is recorded I never saw Jade I never met Jade I met every other girl no way three or four times and then we were supposed to do we were supposed to be on a song with them and then we didn't do it and they got Missy Elliott instead which is a shame for them.

13:05It's one of the things where you go, fair enough. Yeah. I was like, why do you ask us to pricks? We were up for a book award for our children's book and we're up against Julia Donaldson and Julia Donaldson won and everyone was like, oh, you're sad. And we were like, oh, Julia Donaldson. You can't really argue when the gold wins. Shout out Julia Donaldson and her late husband, Malcolm. Yeah. Wonderful people. But yeah, so I never met Jade. So it was literally like when we went on our first day even though I'd met the other girls I even got in trouble with Perry when I was younger because I like said that her and Zane's marriage was going to be doomed and I got arsed in an interview but when I was a kid yeah I'm worried what's he going to say here this man yeah what's that band name Charity get it there what are you doing together in the bin not going to last next question yeah I was in trouble with the girls for a bit but I never was in trouble with Jade apparently so there you go yeah but I always fancied though which is nice that's so lovely I always fancied Rosie yeah at college and at school you went to college together yeah love that why are you so obsessed with me so yeah I'm five so I'm five years in now Jade are you going on Wednesday no no I'm going I'm rehearsing for this play I know you are she told me I was actually gutted oh mate that's by the way Jade's album launch yeah on Wednesday that's what Rosie's talking about Chris has got the kids yeah sorry everyone you're listening to Shagmary Annoyed name drop and celeb gossip special we'll just invite each other to each other's album launch and talk shit um starting or growing your own business can be intimidating and lonely at times your to-do list may feel endless with new tasks and lists can easily begin to overrun your life so finding the right tool that not only helps you out but simplifies everything as a built-in business partner can be a game changer for millions of businesses that tool is shopify Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10 % of all e-commerce in the U.S.

16:00Let's talk about this new play. Yes, let's do that so I can sell tickets to it. Yeah, it's at the Young Vic. It's called Entertaining Mr. Sloan. Yes. Right, tell us what it's about. So it's a play written in the 60s by a playwright called Joe Orton, who for people who love theatre especially, or particular fans of the heritage of British writing. He's quite important because he was a gay man living at a time when it was illegal to be gay. And he would write plays where he would like embellish the plays with this charged, you know, homoeroticism, but also actually not even, that's a bit reductive.

16:41It wasn't even just that. It was just more charged with the leverage people want to gain from each other. And for some people, the male characters, that would have an extra charge. And that was especially dangerous at the time because not only was it illegal to be gay, but plays were also actively censored back then. Yeah, yeah, of course. People would have to read the plays. And so he would write these, they'd be coded, it'd be hidden within it. Now, for us, it seems almost obvious what was being done. But he managed to get it passed. And he just didn't care. He's from Leicester, working class boy.

17:13Literally no one in his family had anything to do with writing. Wow. He just had this gift to just write a story. And he would write often about his life and then just put it into. But he's also famed for, he ended up being murdered by his boyfriend in a way as if he had written it in a play. It's really quite spooky. In real life? In real life, he was beaten to death by his boyfriend. And when you watch his plays, it's eerie because it's like something he would have put in one of his plays. Yeah, it's really trippy. And that boyfriend helped him. In fact, the play I'm in is dedicated to the guy who then kills him.

17:46Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. So the play itself, Entertaining Mr. Stone, is just about, I play a young man that nobody seems to know anything about. I turn up unannounced to a house and it's a four-hander, meaning it's me, Tamsin Althwaite, she's playing Kath, she's a legend. Love Tamsin Althwaite. Danny Sequoia is playing Ed and Kemp is played by Christopher Fairbank. Christopher Fairbank. Fairbank, I was going to say Fairweather, Fairbank who all of them unreal I'm very lucky because they've all done loads of theatre they're super veterans and I this is my first ever stage show is it? first ever time on stage ever since I was 12 yeah I've never done I didn't do like TV and film I've done but theatre's a whole different you know he was in Star Wars Rogue One I read it yeah I was in Star Wars Rogue One but I didn't know that Saved the Galaxy but that's a minor point I don't think I've seen it but he was off his titty can't remember it no I was sober for Scott I'm joking I'm joking.

18:47I was talking about your character. I was talking about your character. You got sober for Star Wars. Listen, you've got to get sober for Star Wars. I don't think I was, you know. Do you know what? I think you'll love it. I think theatre. Out of TV, I mean, I've never done film, but out of TV, I think theatre is like the creme de la creme. I can see why actors get so obsessed. I think you'll love it. But yeah, my character turns up looking for somewhere to stay. Do you end up in like a trouble? No, I end up. Yeah, I don't want to give it. I've seen the poster yeah it looks a bit sexy yes I am in my underline the poster yeah I think look what I'm trying to say like I was saying before it is ultimately about leverage which never ages so people have asked me if the play still rings true now and obviously there are many things that are specific to the 60s just in terms of the way people speak and some of the things referenced but the Machiavellian nature of people trying to get one over on each other oh we've never changed no no people have never never changed I don't think throughout the years So it's who wins that.

19:45Yeah, basically who can gain the most leverage in a short space of time. It's at the Young Vic, go online, find tickets. And also I've got to stress, and I've learned more about this from doing the play, that I haven't been to loads of plays. I'm not actually like a theatre-y person, but in the build-up, I've really immersed myself in stage and theatre and done a lot of reading and gone to see plays myself. And I think it's so important that people go out and watch plays and go to the theatre because especially with the young vic that's like a subsidized theater so yeah it relies on on the enthusiasm and the love from from people and i really you know i i'm sure everyone already feels this but especially now i just think it's so important to maintain that level of community and i i get scared a little bit that almost every creative outlet in britain britain has been threatened by whatever has just happened in the last decade in terms of cuts and whatever else a lot of cuts have happened to creative arts and I just feel like it's the backbone of our society and it blows my mind.

20:46You know what I mean? Like Joe Orton has left a legacy as a writer, you know, and that's just theatre. Obviously music, clubs have been closing. Like there's just, we need to make sure that we put, you know. I agree wholeheartedly. We put our love and passion into that. We love a theatre night. We love a theatre night. Do you absolutely love a theatre night. It's like theatre night, isn't it? We haven't done it for a while actually. Probably. We used to pick really random stuff as well. I love like musicals. Do you? And remember when we went to see Top Hat? Top Hat. And Chris was like, what the fuck is this?

21:12Sweet to God, right? We were the youngest people in that room by easily 50 years. Yeah, but it was brilliant. I was getting, I'll get it eyed up to me immune system. You gotta watch out though. You never know what these people can do, man. Yeah, you'll end up walking around in an old man's body and your consciousness is somewhere else. Get out! Yeah, it is. Oh yeah, I've seen that. Very good reference. But yeah, no, it's, it's, yeah, I, that's good. That's good. and you should you know you can get a little bit of dinner you can at the Young Vic actually you can also have dinner there at the park so it's the whole shabang oh I love it your book's also out it's available in paperback I do have a book out you've got a book sorry two seconds Rosie are you a Sunday Times best summer yeah I am a Sunday are you a Sunday Times I am actually oh my god oh my god what bloody chances oh that's really cool what a bunch of dicks doesn't mean anything doesn't mean anything this is interesting because right in the book Jordan Stevens yes that's me discovers what it means to be a modern man and how the price we pay for love in all its forms is worth it yeah you've really grown up haven't you I have I have yeah you've really grown up I have I just cannot imagine a man in a onesie writing that do you know what I'm saying yeah but in all seriousness though when I first started going out of Jade that was a thing between me and my friends and Jade it was like what she like She's really seen the best version of me.

22:38I really mean that. Yeah. I'd really done a lot of therapy and shit. So when I met her, I was really ready for... Chris was a prick. To the point where my family have actually commented going, oh, he's totally different now. You know what it is? It's never easy to hear, but I do hold on to that was. It's a thing. Was a prick. Yeah, you were. You're not anymore. Listen, they will never understand how confusing it was as a millennial man. Thank you. We have been, we were hard. Oh, tell me your troubles. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm joking. Come on. You can have a minute. No, come on. To be fair.

23:15No, no, no, come on. No, do you know what it is, John? I've actually, I've got two sons. I've got two sons. So my whole sort of stance on like, you know, I have to look at it differently. How old are they? They're nine and four. They'll be okay, actually. Do you think? But yeah, Gen Z boys, they grew up, they were teenagers at the time when everyone was like, men are shit. And they were like, oh. So that's what I'm working on at the moment, actually. Yeah, we've gone on a bit of a roller coaster, haven't we, I think. Millennial. But millennial, the reason I say that, obviously, it would be ridiculous to compare.

23:51But I just find it funny because I hear a lot of conversation about, let's say, Gen Z boys. Or about some of the stuff that's going around, certain people on the internet saying certain things. and I always think like we were raised in our era to just be that type of man and boy like the horrible things we are seeing particular people say on the internet was just fed to us in TV film like that was just normal like this idea of just you know can you believe boys these days are turning to girls and saying get in the kitchen I'm like yeah I mean I don't like it nowadays that's unacceptable but that was just like in a playground what 13, 14 100 % anything that would upset someone with saying and vice versa like literally i girls listen i said this in my book the girls at my school like if you got the wrong side of them yeah you want a rumor to ruin your life jesus christ like i i i remember genuinely being fucking rattled at some of those girls because you know they matured a little a little bit quicker than the boys and and like you know if you i mean like i remember when i was a kid i got like bullied into a relationship they were just like they're like go out with her or we might make your life a living out like it was the mafia for real yeah that was the kind of thing and I was like okay and I used to plot like I used to plot how to avoid her yeah like she's gonna be fuming when she has about you and Jade it's in the fucking book no I know but anyway the long story yeah Jade yeah Jade Jade's she's seen a good side of me yeah and she knows I used to be a prick that was that's the thing you know that I we've all had we've all had pricks I needed her to know that because that's about the context of being a pop star, the intensity of that space.

25:31And also she's obviously, she's encountered these fuckers the whole time there. So it's not like particularly out of, she'd be like, oh, really? You got fame and money and spent being a fucking idiot. Oh, that's so bizarre.

25:46Here's something. Go on. When are you going to move to South Shields? Yeah. Wow. I asked you, every time I say hey, you know, she's like, I can't. What's the move? I'm just like, you could live here. You guys actually live there, innit? We still live there. Not in South Shield Town Centre. We live like a little bit, I'm not going to say, a little bit further up. But yeah. On the, oh, okay, I love, I have a very soft spot for South Shields. I know you do. I really do. So weird that, all the different times I've met you now and the chances are now, but next time I see you, you'll be in a chippy, a chill.

26:16I know, mad. Yeah, because I, yeah, like I've fallen in love with the Lees, like that whole area. I take the dogs down and they love it. I love the walk on the beach I have this like really one of my favourite memories was I think it was around lockdown I got locked down in South Shields the third lockdown yeah we went to Jade's mum's and we were there for like a month and a half and every night I would take the dogs down to the beach because they had lights along the path but they don't have lights on the sand and it's really calming like just the darkness and the sound of the sea and it's a gorgeous beach I think it's probably one of the awards I don't know it has it won Britain's Best Beach 2020 yeah something like that yeah and yeah there was one night where I was with my dog and he starts barking a lot and I was like what's going on and then you know he's barking at what I thought was a rock but then I walked up and it was a fucking seal or oh what yeah fuck off walrus I don't know seals seals we get seals it's a big seal yeah and then yeah and then this guy walked past and I was just like what do I do about the seal I don't know what to do It was like a lone seal I was like Do you push it back in?

27:26I don't know What do you do with the seal? If you want to push that You will lose your arm Boss Right So I said Do I ring someone About the seal? I don't know what It just seemed And then the guy was like Where's the seal? Where's the seal?

27:59Go on. So when I was about, when I was about, I must have been 14, 15, my mates used to go for a jog. We used to run down all over the length of the beach and then down at the pier a bit. And we found a seal. And it was literally just lying in the sun. Just chilling. right at the side of the pier and we stayed for ages and we were like looking at it and loads of people come back and we found a ceiling it was like a big thing before social media we didn't have cameras no one was taking the phone over and someone phoned a guy to come down it was just now that you're seeing it it was just chilling someone told this guy to come down and he came with you know the thing you used to see on Animal Hospital where it was the metal pole with a puller thing yeah on Turner Huch yeah mate what's he do he put it round its neck to try and drag it back to the sea and it fucking fought with this bloke for so long and it was bashing off rocks and it was bleeding and it went back in and I remember being genuinely upset when it went in and he got in and he was like sorted and I was like I was like me and all my mates were like we shouldn't have ragged it we should have just fucking left it like why did we ring him yeah he ragged this fucking seal back into the scene it was horrible it's not the one it's horrible my favourite animal is one of my favourite animals is a fox I'm really down for listen Rosie I'm down for animals that have bad reps because I like rooting for the underdog.
