100.512 - 100.992 Louisa Dal Din

Well, we had followed each other for a while and we never really got to meet each other. And can I just tell you that you were everything I wanted you to be. You were just perfect. I was like, this cunt is fucking awesome.

136.454 - 137.535 Louisa Dal Din

Are you guys going to hook up now?

137.776 - 155.772 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

I'll suck him later. Oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. We had a good fun that weekend, eh? Dude, that was literally, I'll say, probably the best weekend of my life, I reckon. Dude. The people sitting around the table, there was Jachi, Matty Johns, Carl Stefanovic. Oh, yeah. And I'm having a beer and I'm looking around and I'm like, this is fucking awesome.

Chapter 6: What insights does Happy Allan have about social media influence?

177.251 - 180.176 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Day two, I was looking pretty average.

0

180.457 - 181.659 Louisa Dal Din

Went from a 10 to a 3.

0

181.699 - 197.184 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Day one, I was looking average. I fucking walked in there fresh, just had a green juice, feeling me best. Walked in there and wanted to fucking kill myself. The only thing I saw of Adelaide was like the Uber trip to the golf course and that one rooftop pub we went to afterwards. That was it. That's it. That's it. And I was just. Because it was three days.

0

197.204 - 197.985 Louisa Dal Din

Big lift, right?

0

198.406 - 205.055 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

It was a big lift. Three days on the piss. It was huge. Very extensive. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck, it was fun, eh? It was fucking fun.

205.075 - 206.917 Louisa Dal Din

I was away, but I'm coming next year. We'll all go.

207.178 - 217.752 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

And that's where I got to meet Tommy for the first time too. Tommy Armour. Did you boys know each other before content? You started doing content. Yeah, we started doing some skits and stuff together, but. He's a different breed, eh?

218.152 - 221.055 Louisa Dal Din

The eggs? How the fuck does he do that?

Chapter 7: What challenges has Happy Allan faced in his career?

221.075 - 232.588 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Everything. Like, I don't understand. If I was on the plane next to him and some cunt pulled that out next to me, fuck off, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know how he gets away with it. Everyone just sits there and cops it. I would not be copping that.

0

232.608 - 235.531 Louisa Dal Din

The social anxiety, he just must not have it at all.

0

235.592 - 247.947 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

He doesn't. He doesn't have it. When you're sitting on the plane, I always think about it. I'm like, there's no way I'd get my phone up right here. Brother. Film the person next to me and then snot coming out of my nightlight. I don't know how he does that. I get awkward.

0

248.047 - 265.076 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

I honestly, fair dinkum, if I was sitting on a plane and there was people next to me, I'd get awkward just taking a photo of myself to like send to Steph or something. Being like, about to take off. I'm weird. And when I met him at Live, right? Yeah. So it's fucking, we're all having so much fun. And I was just like, fuck, it's good to meet you boys. I'm like, I've been waiting to meet you cunts.

0

265.096 - 278.91 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Like this is a lot of fun for me. And I'm like, I just got to ask you, I'm like, does that shit wig you out or do you just – and he's like, no, not really, man. And he goes – and he hit me, yeah. He goes, you'd be the same. And I go, brother –

Chapter 8: What future projects does Happy Allan have in the pipeline?

279.278 - 285.704 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

You don't know how incorrect that statement is. That is my worst. I can't even really. I struggle filming in public, don't I?

0

285.925 - 288.127 Louisa Dal Din

Yeah, we go down a dark alleyway, usually at night time.

0

288.347 - 305.064 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Yeah, but that's for kisses. Yeah, true. But when we're filming content, I struggle to film in public. Like I used to do these, I call them scary Mondays. It was from this guy, Luke. I forget his last name, but it was like he goes up to people and scares people. So I tried doing that with bakery sweets and like I'd go up to him and go, can you film this? And he'd go, ah! Oh, yeah.

0

305.144 - 315.082 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

And then none of them ever got scared. So they'd be like, what are you doing? And I'd be like, fuck. And then I'd try and eat this sweet. And I don't like really annoying the public like that anymore. It like wigs me out.

0

315.102 - 318.447 Louisa Dal Din

I know. But I don't think people would find that annoying if they know you.

318.648 - 328.885 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

Of course they don't. It's awkward. You go, ah. And they just stand there holding the phone. And I'm like. Oh, okay. That's that funny fella trying to do backflips. Yeah. What's his name? Luke something. Yeah, fuck he's good.

328.905 - 330.929 Louisa Dal Din

What was the first video of yours that took off?

331.41 - 351.367 Happy Allan (Alex Wood)

It was me at the front of a bakery with this, the long john, and I've always eaten food really fast. If you go through my Instagram, there's videos of me eating tacos in one bite and swallowing them. You'd make a great gay man. Yeah, I would, eh? But no, but that's the thing. I can eat food like that, but I can't even brush my tongue. Oh, you go. Yeah.

351.407 - 352.489 Louisa Dal Din

Not a good gag reflex.
