[snorts] How did you sleep? I got up in the middle of the night and I went for a piss. Then the wind changed and the piss went all over the gandoura. Morning. Good morning. I tried to go back to sleep, but it was too cold to sleep out there without the gandoura. I was deeply regretting the decision not to fake the entire camping sequence. I had almost no sleep. My back hurt from lying in the boot of the car. And the sand that had settled into my ass crack overnight was already beginning to chafe.
Fortunately, Boo had a solution. Offering to heal me with a traditional desert treatment. You're good. He suggested that we do this thing called a sand bath, which is the desert equivalent of a spa treatment essentially. Okay. This is good spa to dig the hole. You dig a hole, you put someone in it, you bury them, and then you lie there for 25 minutes. Thank you for doing this, Boo. Welcome, my brother. I mean, essentially, I went to the top of the dune with a man and an axe, and he said, "I'm going to bury you."
Take your dishes off. Okay. Your head here. Yeah. Your legs over there. The heat from the sand, the warmth that the sand is carrying is supposed to cure you of any sort of ailments with your joints and you know, apparently according to Boo Boo it cures rheumatism and things like that. The sand? Yeah. I put the turban on? Yeah, please, please, please. Stay like that. Oh my god. Is this what you were planning the whole time? Yeah. Boo has got to be one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. The attention to detail in terms of the TLC that man delivered during the sand tomb is incredible. I felt like I was being
mothered. I half expected him to ask me to suckle. It was incredible. If it's hot, tell me. If you don't feel well, tell me. It's hot and I don't feel well. I mean, the truth is my back does feel better having done it. But my argument would be I did just lie down for half an hour. Okay. Yeah. Now? Look, the truth of it is uh I get the desert now. I understand it. Um and it has been a very enjoyable experience spending time with Boo in this isolation with the sand and the heat.
What the hell happened to my stuff? It's here. Everything is still here. The best way I can describe it is a few years ago I got invited to like a very intimate Prince gig. And it was very exciting cuz obviously Prince is was an absolute legend. And I stood in the second row and just stood and watched an absolute genius play for his songs. And that first hour of that gig was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. When he entered into hour three of the concert, I've got to be honest with you, my thought was I've had about enough of Prince now. And that is how I feel about the desert right now.
