How did you end up in Ukraine? So we're in Kazakhstan. We're doing some filming in Kazakhstan. And obviously, Borat's still a very traumatic memory for them. Yeah. And some of my jokes felt like they don't go as well in that neck of the woods. Mm-hmm. So we had some difficulty filming out there. So we filmed this horse game. Have you ever heard of Cockbar? Thanks to you, yes.

It's a game, a very, very old game. They cut a goat or a sheep. I didn't get too close to look at it, but they cut its head and legs off and they use it as some form of bull. And then they'll have like up to a thousand guys on horses. violently trying to pick this up and drop it in the other end's goals, basically. The goals used to be concrete.

the sort of carcass and a wave of horse riders came at me. I was quite concerned at that point because they're bashing into each other. And obviously they're angry. They're seeing a foreigner in there. I was wearing like basically Biggie Smalls, Coogee, Geku looking sweater. So I stood out.

And there's me in there. They're also pointing out Borat, Borat, thinking I was making Borat jokes, which again- Very traumatic memory for the people of Kazakhstan. Were you making Borat jokes?
