what is that Sunday night huge big one for the show listen guys you you've seen
the intros before they're the most popular part of the whole show they are
people people watch the intro turn off the fucking interview which really hurts
my feelings but it's that Caleb magic it's that Thomas magic it's the energy of
this
this room is the CRT television
listen it sucks this week has sucked on a sincere note it's just crappy what's
going on right now and not that that's an excuse for us not doing our work but
it's just I don't know nothing we didn't feel good we're all in a crappy mood
and
sucked. On a sincere note. It's just crappy what's going on right now. And not
that that's an excuse
for us not doing our work, but it's just, I don't know. Nothing, it didn't feel
good. We're all in a
crappy mood. And, you know, we're seeing people getting shot in the head on TV
and stuff, and
it's fucked up. There was a silver lining. Is that correct? At the 11th hour,
we got an assist from
probably the most unlikely of sources. And he had a brilliant idea to tackle
the subject
tastefully. So without further ado, check this out.
Let's break down this idea from the top. So there's a new group that we're
starting. Just
explain it to me again.
Oh, I don't know. Immigrant relations expert. Executive. Yeah. Okay. And so
fire or the
opposite of ice? Yeah. And then how does it relate to Game of Thrones? And you're
recruiting,
you're recruiting for fire. And the way you do the qualifications for ice, you're
going to make the
qualifications for fire tougher. And make it tougher by just like another
minute or something
stupid. Oh, so you have to run a mile and a half in 13 minutes instead of 14.
Yeah, because
fire is tougher than ice. That's funny. That's funny. Oh, and it's like Game of
Thrones. That's
why, because there's fire and ice. That's the whole point. And Westeros is what?
Washington, D.C. I think this is good. And the north, and the north is
Minneapolis. Minneapolis,
which is freezing. It's freezing in November. Yeah, but the wall is Mexico. No,
no, no. But
the wall is Mexico. Yeah, the wall is Mexico. And they're letting in fire
people into the
country. Yeah. And the fire walkers are good guys. And your motto is we are
fire. That's
funny. That's funny. Okay, I think I'm going to try and do this something like
this.
Yeah. I mean, it kind of makes sense in a way. I think it's a good bit. It
takes a piss
out of us. Yeah, it's like a satire. Yeah. It's speaking the truth of power.
Anyway, dad,
I got to get back to work. I love you, though. I'm going to send you that
computer. Yeah.
Okay. Mazel tov. All right. Bye. I said we just do that.
Ladies and gentlemen, this next guest was named the Godlike Genius of 2022. Is
that correct?
NME's Godlike Genius Award of 2022. And they haven't named one since. Twigs,
everyone.
She's got cake. Thank you for coming.
How are you? Hi, Icy.
Thank you for coming.
Hi, thank you for having me.
And thank you. She brought a whole squad of just some of the, you know, some of
the luminaries
of the fashion industry. We have Anna Wintour. Give it up for her, guys.
The devil wears Pranda. You try to make me wear some, like a poodle jacket.
You wanted to wear it.
I didn't want to wear it.
I had to prize it off you.
I just wasn't sure if I was dressed cool enough because you're like a very, you're
a fashion,
do you consider yourself a fashion icon?
No.
Are there any days where you just want to dress like shit?
Um, I have, I have this thing called the blues. So I have outfits which are all
blue.
Oh, if you're sad?
No, if I just don't want to get dressed the whole outfit.
Oh, like Picasso's blues. Yeah, period. Yeah.
Well, just all the clothes are blue and it's the same blue so I can put on the
blues and
not think about it and it kind of looks fine.
What does it look like? It's like jean, a jean jacket, jean shirt, jean pants?
No, it's kind of-
Canadian tuxedo.
No, it's kind of very worn in patched up Japanese leisure wear.
Oh yeah, of course. Yeah.
Yeah, I know. I know exactly what that is.
My dog is here. You asked for an animal.
I did. I feel like-
This is the first time Icy has been on the show.
Hi, Icy.
I've told this story. We could cut it, but I've told this story to other guests
about this dog, but
I got her from the street.
Yeah.
She was a homeless teen mom.
Oh, baby.
They used her to breed fighting dogs and then she met a Jewish man and he
changed her life.
Sweet home.
Yeah, she's really sweet.
I mean, when I got her, she was like depressed because they took her puppies
away too young and her nipples were like distended from breastfeeding.
Yeah.
And she was like just, she's like come out of Vietnam. But now she's like a,
she's a very happy girl. She's like 10 now. She changed my life. You have two
dogs?
I have two dogs, yeah.
But like little, little Ewok kind of things.
Yeah, yeah, they're crazy.
Do you like to take them around like legally blonde like kind of situation?
They're very wriggly. I mean, before six o'clock they're very wriggly and then
after six o'clock they're like floppy teddy bears.
You're from the west of England by Wales.
The like middle, the midwest.
The midwest.
The middle of England to the west.
Like Indiana kind of England.
My, yeah, my family's from Birmingham.
Are they Villa?
Villa.
Aston Villa? No.
I don't know.
I feel like you don't, you've never heard of sports.
I grew up with a lot of sports in my house. I'm kind of, I think because of
that I just, I'm not really that into it.
Sports, like football kind of scored my childhood because it was always on,
especially at the weekend.
It would just be.
It's kind of nice though.
Yeah, it's nice. I mean, I think it's, yeah, it's just, it was always on in the
background of my life.
But I'm the type of person that when I get home I'll put the TV on for the
background noise.
Was your town like a Tory town? Was it like Tory country, England?
I think so. Well, I mean, it's kind of weird where I grew up because it's quite,
it's quite mixed.
I would say.
Like working class and posh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that where I'm from there's not a lot in the middle.
What side were you on?
It's like a commuter's town. I was very much working class but like moonlighting
as middle class.
Because when I, when I like first heard of you, you seemed very like, like highbrow,
you know what I mean?
And then when I found out you're kind of from like small town, it's like kind
of a, was very like a, I didn't expect it, right?
Yeah. Well, my parents are from like working class Birmingham.
Yeah.
Um, I have like my biological dad who is from working class Birmingham of Jamaican
descent.
Uh, my stepdad who raised me, um, like actively till I was 11.
He's like second generation from Barbados.
Uh-huh.
Like very working class, first black family in a working class area in
Birmingham.
And my mom's from the black country in Birmingham.
Um, and again, like very just humble, chill beginnings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was there like a notion of class that stuck with you from a young age?
Because I know you went to like a, a boarding school, like a good school and
you were like on scholarship or whatever it's called in England.
Yeah.
Yeah, so when I was 11, my mom just got it into her head that I was going to go
to a private school, a Catholic school in Cheltenham.
And she basically like coached me to get in and I did a lot of like tests
throughout my summer holidays to get into this school that had good education.
My primary school had said that I wasn't intelligent enough to go to the
grammar school.
And so my mom was just like, hell no.
And so she basically like coached me through the summer holidays to go to a
private school.
Was the grammar school the public school?
No, well like I think grammar school is kind of like a better school, but I don't
think you have to pay for it.
But you, your school has to agree that you're clever enough to take the test to
go to like a free, like aspirational, better school, whatever that means.
But then my primary school wouldn't put me forward even for the test.
So then my mom found a school that was, like they had a scholarship and she put
me forward for the scholarship.
But the academic test was like a really big part of getting that scholarship.
So you were smart.
You seem like you're very, like when you talk about your work, I'm like this is
a very intelligent, like way smarter than me person.
No.
That I'm going to struggle to ask questions about.
Oh, stop.
No, I mean it.
No, but like were you, you, you strike me as like, were you like the girl that
like didn't talk and was drawing horses and stuff?
A little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
Were you like, you, did kids consider you to be like a weirdo or like a freakazoid?
Um, I think growing up I had two very distinct personalities or versions of me.
And the one side was, yeah, like a bit of a weirdo and I was very much into
like ballet and opera.
That's so annoying.
How old were you into opera?
Honestly, like eight, nine.
You didn't like the Spice Girls?
I loved the Spice Girls.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I was a big Spice Girls fan.
Who exposed you to that, like that kind of stuff though?
Well, when I was nine, I got a singing teacher, a lady called Dorothy, who was
the lead singer in Carmen in the Covent Garden Opera House.
And so she started teaching me to sing in Latin and Italian opera and that was
my first training.
But it was kind of...
If I went to school with you, I'd be like, shut up.
But I didn't tell, I didn't tell anybody this, you know, I think that...
You're embarrassed of it?
It's not that I'm embarrassed.
Like, listen, being, first of all, working class, second of all, for a lot of
my life from a single parent family,
third of all, growing up in an area where a lot of it is middle class, upper
middle class, keeping up with the Joneses.
So already I've stood out because my mum was very free-spirited, very beautiful,
like very daring.
You know, my mum, when she was younger, was like really, really iconic.
And so already there are a lot of things that made me stand out.
Yeah.
Being biracial as well, there just weren't a lot of people of colour where I
was from.
So I think I've always kept a lot of these things secret and even now, I, you
know, it's something that I even battle with now a lot.
