It was all gymnastics. basically it was first off loved it right good entertainment and i'll never do anything to do with the festival never go pictures like this we're going to the circus why not They don't think about it. I had a real, like, I want to see more live stuff thing.

0

89.049 - 95.457 Unknown

You know, like... You still got that after the circus? Not as much.

98.101 - 119.67 Joe

But I want to say I really enjoyed it. A comment was called. And I was watching them go, and they were like, it's really theatrical and quite close to you. And there's lots of... So in between, before it started, they're all milling about. Who are? The performers.

119.73 - 122.014 Unknown

How many people watching?

122.816 - 123.457 Joe

A few hundred.

208.621 - 209.742 Joe

What did you think?

0

210.203 - 213.185 Unknown

I don't have to imagine myself doing it.

0

214.707 - 217.269 Joe

No, so there's two chat with their hands.

0

217.469 - 221.473 Unknown

You don't like guys standing with their hands on their hips, do you?

0

221.853 - 235.685 Joe

No, it's not that. They're obviously, it's a way of standing if you're sort of showing the world that, you know, you're in character, like being this sort of, you know, it's quite on the top because it's for kids and everyone, you know, it's like this. Yeah.

235.926 - 237.447 Unknown

Are you all right with that?

237.467 - 237.567

Yeah.

237.547 - 241.915 Joe

Shut up for a second and let me just say my thoughts.

242.616 - 249.008 Unknown

Well, the fact that you go, I don't have to imagine me doing that suggests you weren't comfortable looking at them to begin with.

Chapter 3: How did the circus experience influence Joe's perspective on live performances?

330.861 - 332.963 Unknown

Sort of tatting and pointing your fingers.

0

333.023 - 342.573 Joe

Pointing your fingers in a dramatic way. So everyone in the theatre, in the... Ted can see over there whacking your fingers, so it's exaggerated.

0

343.635 - 346.999 Unknown

But you don't want to do that, but that's okay.

0

347.62 - 351.826 Joe

Yeah, absolutely, correct.

0

351.846 - 360.677 Unknown

And my question is, fine, why wouldn't you want to do that? Because it looks fun.

361.739 - 369.075 Joe

Yeah, do you know what? So much of it, I was like, God, they've got... Right, you're going to go, no, no, go back. Because I'm just going to say this.

369.115 - 370.898 Unknown

Don't say what I'm going to do. No, no, no, no.

370.918 - 391.011 Joe

I was looking at them, and they're all in their early 20s or whatever. And I thought, they've got terrific bodies. Terrific weight. They have, actually. They're all good, Nick, because of spinning in here. But I was like, what a terrific way to spend your early 20s. They're going all around the world.

391.649 - 401.323 Unknown

With a little gang of them. You know people hear you, like just here, it's just fucking bollocks comes out. Everyone knows you think it's a load of old shite.

Chapter 4: What unique elements made the circus performance memorable?

405.189 - 408.114 Joe

Oh, can I hear that?

0

408.134 - 421.168 Unknown

Well, if you're feeling it, someone else is going to be feeling it. Yeah, but you're feeling it because you've got your fix. If I've heard 800 eps of this fucking pod, a bit of me would be going, hmm, not sure about this news.

0

421.268 - 429.577 Joe

So, well, why can't I work something out?

0

429.597 - 457.161 Unknown

I love this about you working things out. About circus. Trapeze artist suddenly. Hang on a minute. I don't have to fucking judge him. I don't.

0

459.267 - 477.861 Joe

I had a bloody great time. Yeah, it's lovely. I didn't. I honestly, my second half, I was like, I'm not... You loved it. Good for you. And first off, I had the epiphany early. Yeah, great way to spend your 20s. Yeah, it was. Then going off to bloody Budapest next or whatever.

477.881 - 479.504 Unknown

What about your 40s and your 50s?

479.764 - 499.005 Joe

Oh, no, doing that. I did start thinking about the crossover point where you go, I'm probably a bit old for this now. There's definitely, you know, like anything, you kind of go like nightclubbing or whatever. There's obviously a tipping point where you go, you know, this is sad.

499.826 - 504.653 Unknown

But I didn't get into that. So you enjoyed it and you didn't judge them at the second half of the show, you weren't judging them?

504.673 - 513.702 Joe

No, at first, but I didn't really judge them at the first point. I just remember thinking, oh, like, I can't do that anymore. But I don't have to do that.
