Yeah, it's lovely to be here man, did you know I told my mom said, you know, I'm on Russell Howard's hour
You know my mom being my mom. She's wishing me. Good luck. You know, you know how moms are she's that

No, mom, you're not getting it's just no no, no I said mom
Why talking out at four? You're not even African
You do it man proper dickhead stuff man
My dad's a lot different. No, that's much more different. My dad's very serious guy, you know, my dad's a Rastafarian, you know
He's like a proper Rastafarian, you know, it's very tall. He's at six foot three six foot four
We don't know his height when he wears that hat that makes a huge
You know, and he's from the international home of all Rastafarians in the world. That's right
Brixton
And the thing is having a dad that's a Rastafarian, you know when Rastafarian see each other they have this greeting
You know Rastafarian they will see each other. They have this greeting. They'll be that what I'm dread
Irie, you ever heard this guy you ever heard this my friend, you know, sometimes they mix it up. Yeah, what dread so last the eye
Irie, you know, sometimes it might as for a sign Kelsey at what dread redemption
I was only four years old at the time when I heard this like dad. Who's this Irene woman? Who's this?
It's Charles wife
But even having a dad there's a Rastafarian never forget once my dad had a Rasta off
He's seen another dominant Rastafarian. You've all seen that dominant Rastafarian in the high street
He's got that long Rasta man walk like he just walks like that, you know
It's all slow, you know
And he turned around and he turned around to my dad and he looked at my dad up and down and just said one word
Look at my dad. He said

I never forget once my dad picked me up from school one of the kids see my dad cuz you know
My dad's got long dreadlocks, you know, we're very military uniform. Sometimes, you know, just like camouflage with the boots and everything
I'm like dad. Why you gotta dress that predator? Why you gotta do that?
One kid see my dad. Oh my god. No
Your dad's a Rastafarian
But that's that's right Rupert that's
May I ask I'm like, yeah go for it man. Does your dad sell weed?
Of course
Everything pays for the pot lunches
But a beautiful thing is that when your dad's a Rastafarian you get taught the kind of Rastafarian way a little bit
You know, for example, my dad always said to me, you know, don't worry about things at school

Especially when you're quite young in school and even when you've got kids, you know, you might learn, you know
Teach them things that the wheels in the bus go round and round simple nursery rhymes
But when your dad's a Rastafarian your nursery rhymes sound a little bit like this
