A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation.
0:00Hello and welcome to Stuff by Kevin Durham, the podcast where I interview celebrities and take on comedy sketches which hopefully you'll find mildly amusing. In this episode I interview the late great rapper Coolio in what probably was the most awkward interview I've ever done. If you'd like to see the video version of this interview, then go to youtube.com forward slash Kevin Durham. What was the thing that happened quite recently? I've read recently that there was some trouble Singapore they didn't yeah they I was denied entry but we're trying to figure out why that was and they never told me why they never told you why chewing gum now I have a theory okay hmm I don't know okay what was what's the theory oh my theory is possibly my past record you know we got a few gun charges on my record I would have
0:55to assume that that's it but that is it because I don't have any other charges on my record. Yeah. What charges? Carrying a concealed weapon. Okay yeah that'll probably do it. Yeah they might get a bit touchy on that. But you know I can't carry a concealed weapon to sink for so. Yeah. You sure it wasn't chewing gum? You know they got a thing about chewing gum right? Yeah I know. This whole chewing gum ban, you're not allowed in with chewing gum. You can chew it in your home privately but you can't chew it in public. They don't want people, they don't want chewing gum stands all over the sidewalks and streets and whatnot. They're chewing gum rules are the same as our marijuana rules. And what is that? You spoke it at home here, but you can't, you can't smoke it in public, is
1:38that a thing? I do not know. No. I'm looking at you for guidance. I've smoked it, I've smoked a lot of weed in your public. Yeah. Yeah. I've smoked it all the time where I'm from. Jinnigan, yeah, he walked down the street, reeks of it. Look, I love the 90s tour. Sounds amazing, it's happening right now.
