0:17.4

Welcome to Hip Hop Save My Life. I'm here with Rue Manch. Hey, dude. Good, good, good. Yeah, good to be back.

0:24.1

It's good to be back, isn't it? I've just eaten an it, say I'm feeling a bit right for you.

0:27.6

I had too much food. I had the detox me, so I had some veggie dumplings. And I had too much hot sauce.

0:35.2

It's fucking me up now. But anyway, it doesn't matter. We crack on with this. We are joined by I'm going to be honest with you now.

0:40.6

Yeah. I'm buzzing. I'm about this guest. All right, because I'll tell you the story. I listened to his album and I thought,

0:49.6

first of all, it was my album last year, right? And I thought this is the best album I've heard in fucking ages, right?

0:56.6

And I added it to the Hip Hop Save My Life. I did one of the tracks onto the Hip Hop Save My Life playlist in 2019.

1:03.4

And then this man, choosy, got in touch with him on Instagram just to say, thank you. And then I grabbed at the opportunity to try and get one of the podcasts.

1:12.0

Thankfully, he's come to London. You flew him over? No, no, we haven't got the budget for that. I didn't even arrange for a car for every stone.

1:18.6

Yeah, oh, right. He's sort of singling to me that apparently I'm going to get invoiced to something. Okay, cool. So we are joined by choosy. Hey, dude, man.

1:26.6

Oh, well, man. Glad to be here. It was good. Thanks for coming onto the podcast.

1:48.6

I was just telling choosy because you're vegan. Yes, and I'm vegan as people, people say I'll fucking out two minutes in his mentioned it, but I'm vegan.

2:03.6

Have you been vegan for a stretch? I've been vegetarian over half of my life, but vegan the last three years. Right. I knew what I mean. That's how I did it. I turned vegetarian when I was about 12.

2:16.6

I came home and I said to him, oh, what can't it meet anymore? Yeah. And she said, I don't understand this. And then, yeah, yeah. And then about six, maybe seven years ago, I went vegan.

2:26.6

And it's good except for just telling you before we came on. So I did this video for BBC 2 about why I think vegans are the future. Right.

2:36.6

I was sort of taking the piece that I was kind of like I was being deliberately antagonistic. But people are going to give me so much shit. I tell you what's been happening recently. It's mainly Americans. Right. So this, you know, this beyond beyond burger and the impossible burger. Right. Bring it.

2:51.6

I don't know. So the number of tweets I've been tagging with these like Americans is going, this ain't even real fucking food. They're throwing the burger in the bin.

3:02.6

I've been tagging that so many times. You fucking suck beyond me. Like you're the one that devised it. Yes, I eat seven or eight of them a week. But that doesn't mean that like, oh, my money. Yeah. I mean, it's so crazy.

3:19.6

Isn't it when I first tried it. I thought, is this this is so much like me. Ethically, I don't know if it's okay to eat it's such a convincing simulation. Right. Yeah. It's like there's got it's got to be rigged. Yeah. There's something right. I almost think. Yeah. I almost think this week. They're going to get uncovered as a scam. But it's actually made that's a conspiracy. That's a conspiracy. Dude, I'm telling. I thought you're going to say the Americans. Did you have the conspiracy?

3:44.6

There's a conspiracy that it's me that it's actually me, but that is not from animals. What do you mean humans? But it's human. There's a good. There's a real.
