-To be honest, I'm so shit at accents.
[ Southern accent ] Southern fried chicken.
[ Laughter ]
I thought hurricane season was over.

-Hey, what's going on? It's Trey.
Back for a pretty early "Questionnaire of Life"
because we are talking to great U.K. songstress and writer
and person Greentea Peng.
How you doin'? -Yo, I'm good. How are you?
-I'm doin' alright. What time is it for you?
-Um...2:10.
-Alright. Yeah. It's about 9:00 for us.
This is the earliest questionnaire
I think we've ever done, so congrats on making history.
-Oh, 9:00 a.m.?
You lot are back in time. -Yep.
You're gonna get into this.
Some are a lot stupider than the others.
Like, you ready? -Okay.
-What's your favorite type of green tea --
sencha, matcha, or peppermint?
-Hmm.
I love peppermint.
I can't lie -- I love peppermint -- the smell of it.
-Mm-hmm. -[Speaks indistinctly]
-Matcha is also good, though.
It's hard.
It's hard because peppermint isn't really green tea.
It'd have to be matcha and peppermint for sure.
-Yeah, I'm drinking peppermint right now
'cause I can't -- I don't do caffeine, so, like, yeah.
-I've never too much of a caffeine addict myself,
to be honest.
-What's your, like, morning routine like?
-If it's sunny, I like to go and sit
and listen to the birds sing in the garden.
And if it's raining, I just kind of smoke again,
then I play some music.
You know, it kind of feels like
a really long, boring summer holiday.
-Which of these hurt more --
a neck tat, stomach tat, or chest tat?
-Oh. Stomach, 'cause it's, like, organs and it's, like, jubbly.
You know what I mean?
Like, when you get something on, like, your solar plexus
or, like, your belly, it's like...
jubbly a little bit.
But when it's the bones -- I don't know.
It's a different kind of pain.
Like, the chest, you've got a lot of bone.
You know what I mean?
-How many more tattoos do you think you have in you
in your lifetime?
-Oh, mate. Many. Many.
Everything -- Every tattoo I've wanted, I've got.
I think one day, I could definitely just decide
to cover myself -- pow! You know what I mean?
-Okay, choose one of these people to do a duet with --
Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, or Lily Allen.
-Oh! What?!
You can't ask me that, bruv. You --
-Hey, hey, hey. You ca-- You came on to my show.
Alright? -Aw, shit. You know what?
I would say Lily Allen, yeah,
because Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu --
they're, like, two people I just need to look at and appreciate.
Lauryn's a prophet, and you can't deny it.
Obviously you want to try and say stuff
that people aren't saying.
You don't want to just say
the same shit that everyone's fucking saying.
Not consciously trying to compare myself
to any other artist.
Sometimes I don't even think of myself as an artist.
-Why do you think
you don't really feel like an artist too much?
-I guess it's ego, innit?
It's like them unworthy feelings.
It's that "Oh, I'm not a real artist."
-Like that imposter syndrome or whatever?
-Yeah, like I don't [audio drop] or -- You know what I mean?
I'm an artist. Fuck it. I'm an artist.
-Uh, Popeye's, KFC, or Nando's?
-Fuck is Popeye's?
[ Laughs ]
You should have done the research, bro.
You should have asked me Morley's.
-What the fuck is that?
-That's probably the Popeye's of England, innit, of London.
-Alright. What's Morley's like then?
-London High Street chicken and chip.
I think change Popeye's to Morley's, and I'd pick Morley's.
-Okay. What's the worst part of working in a bar --
having to close, having to prep for the day --
like cut all the limes up and shit --
or having to watch all these people have fun
while you're at work?
-Ooh, ooh, it's between having to close
and having to watch other people have fun.
I don't mind prepping, because I quite like cutting limes.
-Yeah. -Working in a bar for too long
makes you start to be really anti-social, actually.
Where do you find the most inspiration --
from other people, from the world around you,
or from your own lived experiences?
-Ooh. Well, it's -- It's a mix of all three, innit?
My own experiences are affected
by my environment and the people that are around me.
So, you know, all my songs are mainly from my perspective
and all of my experiences,
but it's all in relation to the changing environment
and people in and out of my life,
you know what I mean?
For sure, but, yeah, a mixture --
a mixture of all three, man.
They're all kind of interdependent and kind of...
-Appreciate you doing this and all.
This was very, very fun.
Great way to start my day off with,
and, yeah, hope you have a good rest of yours.
-Yeah, it was nice to meet you, man.
Thank you. I enjoyed it.
-Yeah, same here. Alright.
For the rest of y'all, see y'all later
Bye, Greentea Peng.

-Bruv, Mercury in retrograde is just, like, whoo!
-It's just like you do what you absolutely have to do
and just, like, kind of wait it out,
don't make any big decisions, don't --
-Exactly. -Yeah.
