And I just, a little bit of it was thinking the Germans would just dislike it, you know, whatever.

It was like, grand, that'll do.

And on the nose and banged it up and sure the thing exploded.

The first video just went viral.

And I was like, grand, I'll do that.

Yeah, yeah, basically, yeah.

Sure, the channel kind of blew up and the Germans seemed to really like it, thank God.

And it actually got quite a large international audience.

So it was Germans and Irish people, but then there's a big following of it in the UK and over in North America.

And then, so it's actually, it got quite big.

And then luckily, yeah, Penguin Michael Joseph reached out to me, which I thought was, jeez, I thought it was a scam or something.

I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I got an email off them and said,

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous, carry on.

But they asked me to write a book.

So there you go, yeah.
