Hello, I'm Louis Theroux and I'd like you to listen to my brand new podcast where every Tuesday I speak to a fascinating guest who's notable, who's legendary in their chosen field. Thank you for doing this. No, it's an honour. I'm a huge, huge fan. Oh my God. I'll be getting musical with Niall Rogers. Everybody dance, do-do-do-do, clap your hands. Clap your hands. It was huge.

1:29Huge. We couldn't get it signed. I'm sorry you had to listen to me do that. That's OK. You were close. Exploring the Playboy life with Craig David. I realised that I had to pull back from all of this. What, you stopped having any kinds of romantic and sexual encounters? Reign the whole thing back. Have you been in a celibate phase? Is that what you're saying? For quite a while now. For how long? Maybe a year or so. Really? and trying to impress country icon Shania Twain. That is actually a clever line. That don't impress me much. I do swear a lot in real life. Prove it. Yeah, the biggest swear for me, my most satisfying one.

2:11Go on. If you really want to know. I know what it's going to be. I think I know. Tell me.

2:18That's a good one. Talking God with Nick Cave. When I talk about this with you, what worries me often is that I sound like a Christian talking about Christ, but I don't actually come to it in that way. I'm simply... Why would that worry you? It worries me because, you know, it worries me a little bit. Because you don't want to come off like Cliff Richard. Well, there is that. And chewing the chicken, wait for it, with social media sensation Amelia de Moldenburg. We drove around East London in a Fiat. You made a weird sound with your lips. No, I'm just remembering it. Was that boredom? Well, I do know this whole story.

2:55Sorry, carry on. No, I'm not going to say any more about it now. Guys, can we stop for a second? I'm thrown. I don't know. I don't know. You'd honestly, you got to the end of the story. I hadn't. It's free and exclusively on Spotify. And it's called, rather appropriately, The Louis Theroux Podcast. All right, shall we go for a take? This episode is brought to you by Shopify.
