Hello and welcome to Second Helping's 2026 We have for our guest this week, Yungblud, who came on the podcast in November 2020

**Lennie Ware** (0:50)
That blew my mind.

**Jessie Ware** (0:51)
What did?

**Lennie Ware** (0:52)
Yungblud.

**Jessie Ware** (0:53)
Oh, I love him so much. Dom is such a fantastic human. It was before we entered Lockdown 2.0, and so we had high tea with Yungblud at Mums, and we had all the windows open, and I think we had to be separated from each other slightly. We had to do the photo outside, and he came over to talk about his album, Weird.

**Lennie Ware** (1:11)
Didn't Yungblud have makeup on? He certainly had black nail varnish.

**Jessie Ware** (1:15)
Yeah, I'm sure he had a bit of eyeliner on.

**Lennie Ware** (1:16)
And he had eyeliner on. And now and again, the picture of him and us together comes up in my- Memories.

**Jessie Ware** (1:23)
Memories.

**Lennie Ware** (1:25)
And then I say, okay, who's that? And then I realize who it is.

**Jessie Ware** (1:28)
Yeah, it was Hi-T with champagne, sausage rolls, sandwiches, and a lot of swearing. So brace yourself, he swears even more than me. Yungblud coming up on Second Helping.

**Lennie Ware** (1:40)
Hi, Dom.

**Dominic** (1:41)
Hiya, how are ya?

**Jessie Ware** (1:42)
Oh my god, you are a star. I feel like I'm in the presence of a star.

**Dominic** (1:46)
Really? Yes.

**Dominic** (1:47)
Oh, that's mental.

**Jessie Ware** (1:48)
You're like, you've got it, baby.

**Dominic** (1:51)
Don't tell me that.

**Jessie Ware** (1:52)
No, but it's, and you are, I think, the youngest person we've ever had on this podcast.

**Dominic** (1:56)
Really?

**Jessie Ware** (1:56)
Yeah. I mean, you were born in 96

**Dominic** (1:58)
I was 97, actually.

**Dominic** (2:00)
97? 97, yeah. Shit.

**Lennie Ware** (2:03)
I remember the years well. So you're Yungblud, I'm old blood.

**Dominic** (2:07)
I'm into that.

**Dominic** (2:08)
I'm into that.

**Dominic** (2:09)
I love it.

**Lennie Ware** (2:10)
Your mother's probably younger than Jessie.

**Dominic** (2:14)
My mom's 50 this year.

**Dominic** (2:16)
Oh, crikey. I'm not 50 yet.

**Jessie Ware** (2:18)
But how's things?

**Dominic** (2:19)
Good, man.

**Dominic** (2:20)
Like, it's all a bit weird, isn't it? Yeah.

**Dominic** (2:22)
It's all a bit bizarre.

**Dominic** (2:24)
Yeah.

**Dominic** (2:24)
But I don't know.
I'm happy. I literally got home two months ago, so I'm happy to be back in the UK. Where have you been? Oh, you were in LA?

**Dominic** (2:31)
I was in Hollyweird.

**Lennie Ware** (2:33)
Do you not like it?

**Dominic** (2:34)
I hate it. I love Los Angeles. I don't know why.

**Dominic** (2:38)
I'm just so British. Like, I love Hobnobs and Yorkshire tea.

**Jessie Ware** (2:43)
I mean, the tea is shit.

**Dominic** (2:44)
It's so shit.

**Lennie Ware** (2:45)
Jessie's not made that brew long enough.

**Dominic** (2:47)
No, I'm actually into it, man. I kind of like it, but at least it's an English tea bag.

**Lennie Ware** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Dominic** (2:53)
Well, I mean, probably not. It's just typical British person.

**Jessie Ware** (2:57)
I like Yorkshire. You don't get Yorkshire too.

**Lennie Ware** (2:59)
No, it's too strong for me. That's English breakfast. But Lipton, that's the shit.

**Jessie Ware** (3:02)
The Lipton shit.

**Lennie Ware** (3:05)
So where were you living in LA?

**Dominic** (3:07)
I was living in Venice Beach.

**Jessie Ware** (3:08)
Oh, it's gorgeous.

**Dominic** (3:09)
I mean, it was gorgeous.

**Dominic** (3:10)
That's the thing about it. I like cold and wet and cigs and pints and tea.

**Jessie Ware** (3:18)
You can't get that there.

**Dominic** (3:19)
Do you know what I mean? You just can't get that there. And it was like, it's all right, it was like, I just find people a bit full of shit out there. I'm kind of like, tell the truth till it gets me in trouble. Do you know what I mean? Like most of the time it's like, oh shit, should have said that. Do you know what I mean? If someone's like, do you like me jump? I'm like, not really. Do you know what I mean? I'll say it in like the nicest way possible. I'm gonna get those balloons.
