00:00 So, Sean, we've been talking about this tattoo tribute.

00:02 Oh, show, come on.

00:04 Hoping it's not on your buttock.

00:05 Well, maybe hoping it is on your buttock.

00:07 Let's see.

00:08 There it is there.

00:10 Olympic rings.

00:11 Oh, the Olympic rings.

00:14 Why have you got them?

00:15 I love tattoos, but why have you got them?

00:16 Right, so the reason why I got it, obviously in 2004,

00:20 I won Mastermind.

00:21 And just after winning Mastermind,

00:23 I realized how grateful and fortunate I was to have won it.

00:26 And--

00:26 Let's see it again.

00:27 Show it.

00:27 Sorry, they want to see it again.

00:28 Sorry, they want to see it again.

00:29 I don't know why you talk.

00:30 Let's have a zoom in.

00:31 You've got Mastermind on there as well.

00:32 Yeah, and then the other one, we've got 2004.

00:34 All right, calm down, Sean.

00:35 Calm down.

00:36 [LAUGHTER]

00:36 You calm down, Jimmy.

00:37 You calm down.

00:38 [LAUGHTER]

00:40 And it was one of the greatest achievements of my life.

00:44 And I remember when I had the hard times and difficult times

00:48 in my life.

00:49 And I remember watching you, I followed your career

00:52 in the '80s and '90s, how you were really a great runner.

00:56 And sometimes you had that adversity

00:58 in terms of the injuries and setbacks and disappointments.

01:02 And it all came together in Athens 2004.

01:06 And I felt that sort of empathy with you

01:09 because I've just won Mastermind.

01:10 Nobody knew at the time.

01:11 But you win, becoming a double Olympic champion,

01:15 finally achieving your lifelong ambition of becoming a champion.

01:20 I sort of sympathize with that.

01:21 So I thought to myself, I'm going

01:23 to have a tattoo done in Europe.

01:26 And on the 20th of November, which

01:28 was the 20th anniversary of me being called to the bar,

01:31 I went to the tattoo parlor.

01:33 And I got that done.

01:34 And I got those done as well.

01:35 [APPLAUSE]

01:38 The ladies don't know this, but I've

01:41 got something for you to put around your neck

01:42 for the rest of the show.

01:43 [GASPS]

01:44 Oh, wow.

01:45 Oh.

01:46 There you go.

01:46 I want him back.

01:47 I want him back.

01:48 Of course, of course.

01:49 Wow.

01:50 For the rest of the show, because that was such an honor.

01:53 And you are such an amazing guy.

01:56 and a very talented yourself, bringing us to mind.

01:58 Well, I don't know about that.
