Yeah.
And I've been listening to podcasts that you've been on and I've been reading about you and I've seen some pretty good pop art, you know, videos of you and mashups and podcasts.
crash-ups and all sorts of things.
And there really was a season there where you were in everybody's living room every night, where you became part of the public psyche.
Do you feel like you exist in a couple of spheres?
Like there's professional Ashley and there's private Ashley and then there was public Ashley.
How do you feel?
Yeah, well, it's an interesting situation because one of the things that got me through that period was my friends, obviously family, but also friends who just knew me pre-COVID and I was just Ash, their mountain biking mate or person they ran with on a Saturday morning.
And that was really important and still is.
And then there's this new aspect of my life that's off the back of the COVID period, which is every day.
recognize me and come up to talk and I guess it's a bit like the it's not the celebrity thing but it's just people think of you as someone familiar to them because over 300 stand-ups you know I was it's such a challenging and memorable period in our history I was part of the sort of the media the compulsory media viewing every day
And it was so condensed.
I mean, it was 300 stand-ups sort of in a row vibes.
Like there might have been a break or two.
I think you did take a week off somewhere there.
But it was the sense of you're in the right place at the right time doing that role.
Yeah, it didn't necessarily feel like that, especially initially.
It felt like at the wrong place at the wrong time.
And then I realised it was the right place, maybe at the wrong time, but that was me and I was in the role and I had fabulous people I was working with and I just needed to
I just kept this cricketing analogy in my mind, which was go out, walk out to the crease and just play your best shot to whatever comes down every day.
