00:00:04.560 okay see you
00:00:06.880 one hour later
00:00:11.140 yes matt hi andrew um yes so i've just been interviewing your fans outside um they all
00:00:25.660 i've been saying very nice things about you one guy who you helped get over his weed addiction
00:00:31.420 another guy who's come all the way from miami um i'm a nice guy matt you didn't know
00:00:37.340 well look you know there's it is frustrating that i can't uh give you these chocolates because i
00:00:47.960 literally have no choice in the matter i found it seems you put bad faith in me
00:00:53.980 chocolate first give to alex then you can come in thank you for your time think about it
00:01:00.900 i'm home all day
00:01:02.440 it's how you saved him low
00:01:07.420 it's actually not this at all it's simply that my boss won't let me
00:01:22.780 i've used that excuse before well your boss won't let you drop a chocolate no not for chocolate but
00:01:30.740 look at guys
00:01:32.240 oh no management didn't approve it i'm my own management
00:01:38.700 how crazy would it be if you said something like management didn't approve it to get out of something
00:01:46.760 and someone made a hit piece on you
00:01:49.480 saying management doesn't let her do things
00:01:54.720 the amount of misinformation
00:01:58.140 you know that would be crazy sorry sorry sorry sorry

00:02:18.480 kat sadly that may mean we have to leave
00:02:21.620 but it does seem silly because you obviously have important things to say
00:02:25.580 and this is for the bbc it would be a huge platform to get your message across
00:02:30.800 i'm outside interviewing your fans right now
00:02:34.740 why is he acting like tate needs the bbc
00:02:38.240 like bruh it's the internet days bruh like

00:02:58.960 we have a history
00:03:00.120 yeah
00:03:02.320 way that you can think of where
00:03:04.600 i can come in and
00:03:07.860 hand them to you as i walk in or anything
00:03:10.840 then that would be great otherwise
00:03:13.600 i don't know
00:03:16.060 otherwise what matt what happens
00:03:18.800 maybe just you'll have to let me know when

00:03:35.020 well mr tate
00:03:38.640 well
00:03:40.180 my name is blessing and you know i'm just making a plea
00:03:43.340 we'll give the chocolate first in good faith you know what i mean
00:03:47.000 don't worry we'll send multiple chocolate boxes your way you know
00:03:50.760 it just won't be one
00:03:52.080 yeah it'll be like five
00:03:54.100 actually we're just gonna send one anyways
00:03:56.280 yeah let's just do that
00:03:58.860 yeah
00:03:59.360 yeah
00:04:00.860 no i mean you'll probably be able to get an interview with other media outlets i'm sure but i
00:04:07.620 i do think the bbc is a really big and important platform and i think that
00:04:11.960 uh
00:04:14.380 probably
00:04:15.060 it's different
00:04:15.820 probably
00:04:17.980 well yeah good definitely definitely
00:04:20.660 definitely that's right let's be professional let's be clever with our language here let's be on point i can definitely get another interview and i can get another interview with the bbc
00:04:28.460 i can just say send someone else they'll do anything i want
00:04:31.220 they probably would want to send me that's it but but but do you want me do you want to test that theory matthew
00:04:39.460 wait did you just say that this guy is over exaggerated is relevant see we don't know who you are we have no idea yeah we i got no idea who this matt character is i found out i found out today his name was matt
00:05:00.460 yeah we didn't even care from the vice documentary didn't even care we care about vice that's the name but i know you yeah that's the thing these journalists reaction channels they get these big egos like they're doing something goes over their head yeah when they really have no original content no new ideas
00:05:19.460 nothing interesting to say
00:05:22.460 you're telling me me andrew take the most famous man in the world can't get an interview with the bbc unless you're involved is that the level of hubris
00:05:37.460 i've come here but we're just so okay look the other thing is because of our the fact that we
00:05:45.020 have this sort of for better or for worse reputation
00:05:49.020 where somehow you know we've become sort of internet nemeses um even though that's not how i see it
00:05:57.020 then um it probably would be reach a much wider audience and be viewed and talked about a lot more
00:06:05.020 and that's just the brass tacks of it is what i think so you know if there's any if there's any
00:06:13.020 if you want to do like a quick one through the gate like i think that would be great but it's
00:06:19.020 yeah my hands are tied to read the chocolate situation but i don't know if you have any
00:06:25.020 suggestions no i don't want to do a quick interview i want to do an in-depth detailed interview my first
00:06:31.020 interview under house arrest is going to be world-breaking it's going to be massive perhaps the
00:06:35.020 biggest internet interview of the year perhaps of the decade i own the culture and i want to do it
00:06:43.020 and i want to do it properly but i can't this can happen we just play the things mr t you know
00:06:51.020 oh blessing this is starting to look desperate i am desperate
