00:00 Do you have any siblings?

00:01 - No.

00:01 - I thought you had a sibling?

00:02 - Yeah, half one.

00:03 - You're half brothers.

00:04 - Yeah, but not other than my mother.

00:05 - Oh, you're just your father?

00:06 - I'm your father.

00:07 Do you talk to your father?

00:08 - No.

00:09 He's a retired heroin addict.

00:12 - Is that a serious comment or is that a joke?

00:14 - No, that's a serious comment.

00:14 - For real?

00:15 - Because we just can't tell with you.

00:16 - Is that for real a serious comment?

00:17 - Yes, and he was very generous with his sperm,

00:19 so I have many half siblings out and about.

00:21 I don't know them particularly.

00:24 I know one of my half sisters a bit.

00:27 - Do you know how many of you there are altogether?

00:30 - No.

00:30 - Does your dad ever try to get in touch?

00:33 - He's dead.

00:34 That's why he's retired.

00:36 - Oh, I didn't get that.

00:38 - That's a bit of a joke.

00:39 - Wait, so he didn't die?

00:41 - He did, no, he is dead.

00:41 - What's the joke in there?

00:43 - He's a retired heroin addict.

00:44 - He's retired, like he's dead?

00:46 - He's shot out of life.

00:48 - Oh, so he died from the heroin?

00:50 - I think so.

00:51 Well, no, I know he died of an overdose

00:53 and I know he did heroin, so I just thought you would.

00:55 - You put two and two together?

00:56 - Yeah.

00:57 - So he must have been heroin.

00:58 - Yeah, probably was, yes.

00:59 I didn't go to the funeral.

01:00 I don't even think he had one.

01:02 - Oh.

01:03 - How do you feel about that?

01:06 - I don't know.

01:07 - Was it years ago or recently?

01:08 - I was 16.

01:09 But that was a long time ago.

01:12 I'm now 26, 10 years ago.

01:14 But anyway, that's enough about me.
