Come on in with the box.

Easy, easy does it.

Here we go.

Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day is a day for romance.

Mmm, you can really smell the sex in the air, - isn't it?

- Yeah, what is that smell, actually?

I actually got us a really good deal on 40 crates of mackerel, you know?

And, like, you know, seafood on Valentine's Day, it's like an aphrodisiac.

Yeah, but I don't think that applies to gone-off mackerel.

Oh, balloons, you did that as well?

- Yeah.

- Ti-ti!

- They're all over, look behind you.

I feel the love.

Hey, all you need is love.

Isn't it?

- And maybe some lovely mackerel.

- HE LAUGHS Oh, come on, Kevin, she's not going to wait for you.

Oh, Kevin, come on!

I'm just looking for something.

One minute.

Stop looking!

- Now, Kevin!

- SHE GROANS I can't find my chinos.

- Forget your chinos, let's just go!

- All right, cool.

Don't forget the bag!

Bag, bag.

- Got the bag.

- SHE GROANS OK, I got the bag.

- Good.

- Where's Craig?

- He's out with his dad.

Just hurry up!

Ssshhhh.

Keep it down, Grindah's asleep.

I don't give a f*ck about Grindah!

Just get me to the hospital and get her out of me!

- OK.

- Yeah?

- How do you want to do it?

- Cos I've only got the ped.

- Call a cab!

- OK, yeah, call a cab.

All right.

- SHE GROANS Oh, yeah, there's this mad thing called Uber, you heard about it?

Oh, it says I need to update my card details.

Do you know your card number?

- GROANS: - Hurrythe fuckup!

- OK, OK.

Big day today - Valentine's Special, so we're going to have a little aerial revamp, make sure the signal's extra crispy, innit, mate?

- You get on that soon, all right?

- I'm just going to meet my nan, man, but I'll see you lot in a bit.

You're meeting It's Valentine's Steves.

- I always meet her.

- f*ck's sake.

Beats has f*cked off already.

Great, so I'm left on my own again.

- I'll be about, man.

- I mean one of the main ones.

f*ck's sake.

Yeah, Valentine's Day is one of the most important sets in the Kurupt calendar, and I'll tell you why, cos we see it as a way of building up listeners, yeah?

Think about it.

Like, usually, you'd just be listening to Kurupt on your ones, innit, yeah?

But on Valentine's Day you'll be there with your girl or your man or whatever, so that's already double the listeners, at least.

Cos obviously some cultures have more than one partner.

But we see that more as a bonus.

OK, enjoy it.

Hey, happy Valentine's Day.

Oh, threesome.

Very European.

PHONE RINGS - Kevin, you old slut.

- HE LAUGHS What?

What, right now?!

OK, um Yeah, yeah, OK, stay calm, mate!

Kevin, STAY CALM!

OK, OK, OK, yeah, I'll come, I can come!

I can come, yeah, I can come!

Um Let me just I'll bring the Merc.

Listen.

Oh, my keys.

I gotta Where's my keys?

Where's my keys?

- I don't know.

- I put them here some I totally understand what you're going through.

You do not understand.

I do NOT understand what you're going through.

You are not even close to understanding.

Twinkle, twinkle - f*ck you!

- SHE GROANS - Chabzilla.

- SHE GROANS Yeah, it's getting a bit nuts here, mate.

Yeah, we're getting a bit sectiony.

Yeah.

Oh, he's pulling up, he's pulling up.

HORN TOOTS - Help me!

- Let's go.

- Helpme!

- Yeah, please.

- Help me.

- Help me!

- Help me.

Help ME.

- SHE GROANS You spoken to Beats yet?

Nah, he's on some, like, "Oh, I'm going down the hospital "because I care about Roche and want "to hold her hand while she's having a baby.

" - Yeah.

- Yeah.

When Angel was born, did I miss a set?

- No.

- No, no, I didn't, no.

Exactly.

Cos I put radio before everything, because I actually care about it.

Plus I didn't really clock that's why I had all of the missed calls from Decoy and Miche.

I'd like you to add a little backcomb as well, just to give it a bit more volume.

Yeah.

You had any Valentine's Day cards, Tyler?

- A fair few.

- Yeah, I bet you did!

Look at him, he's such a little player.

You can tell cos he's got the earring.

That's how you tell a player.

He's single.

He's available, Miche.

Just saying.

What am I like?

I'm turning into my mother.

Well, people have asked me if I think that me and Grindah are going to get back together, and the answer at the moment is, I don't know.

I mean, it all depends on him.

'What's your Facebook status?' Oh, God.

Yeah.

That took me days to work out.

I went for "it's complicated", because, I mean, the situation IS complicated.

I didn't really know what that meant before but now, yeah, I really understand it.

Oh, lovely.

Who are they for?

Uh, Susan.

Oh, more for Susan.

You little whore-bag!

- Wow.

- Thank you.

Oh, they're beautiful, thank you very much.

Oh, someone's getting lucky.

Where are you going to put them, in your living room?

Yeah.

I'll put them with all the others.

Taxi for the lady with the flowers!

Right, pull up, mate.

SHE GROANS Right, cool, let's go.

OK, stay clenched.

- I'm clenching.

- Keep clenching.

All right.

Get out of the way, you!

- Do you need anything from the bag?

- No, no, keep going!

I've got Lucozade Oh, f*ck!

- What, what, what?

- I've got Craig's bag.

What?!

It's just got an empty packet of ham and a pencil case in it.

- I don't want any f*cking ham!

- Let me check the pencil case, - there might be something useful in it.

- Yeah, good idea.

Just forget about the pencil case, OK?

Just go!

Forget about that.

OK, let's go, let's go.

Let's go.

Which way?

- No, no, no!

- Right!

- No, right, right, right!

- SHE GROANS (OK, come on.

) Right, we're all clear.

Time for you lot to see who the real soldier of Kurupt FM is, yeah?

Keep it down, yeah?

Here she is.

f*cking hell, it's high, innit?

Every general needs their army working as a unit, do you know what I mean?

So you need your team there to be, like, pre-rolling your zoots, like, making sure the phone's charged, track listing right, like, there's just better things to think about.

Check the aerial, make sure it's crisp.

Oh Oh, f*ck!

This is mental.

Someone in my position shouldn't be doing things like this.

Hold on.

Fanta.

Is it sounding clearer?

Well, is it sounding worse, then?

No, well, then say it's sounding clearer, then.

Don't Right, good.

Seen Lorna's new whip?

'What's been your favourite Valentine's Day?' Me and my nan once went to this place called Blackpool, where there's these 'They do this lights thing.

' - Come through.

- Steve?

Easy.

'And we, well, we' I did acid and she, like, had a glass of wine and we just had a really nice evening.

Nan-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, Nan.

- Uh - Hi, Steve, um Can we have a little chat, please, in private?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Has my nan been in trouble again?

There you go.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

You must be so excited, mate.

You're about to have a little brother.

- Sister.

- Don't be too sure, mate, OK?

I had I had a friend once who was unfortunately born with a micro-penis And You know, for months they thought I was they thought he was a girl.

What?

Anyway, I better sh**t off anyway, I got stuff to do.

See you in a bit, yeah?

My nan always says that you have to live for the moment, cos tomorrow might never happen and yesterday don't matter.

You have to be in the present.

What day is it today, Wednesday?

- Tuesday.

- 'It's Friday.

' Friday.

# It's about time that I spat this rhyme # About this day called Valentine # Must say Grindah's so fine # Cos I got the flow to make a buddy wine, yes!

# And you're locked into the sounds of the legendary MC Grindah DJ Fantasy, for the Valentine's Special Fantasy Grindtime Hour.

RADIO: 'Looks like it's doing massive!

'This is MC Grindah, with a sprinkle of something romantic.

' Me and Grindah never really celebrated Valentine's Day.

There was this one time, though, actually.

We went to a restaurant, and then we ran away without paying the bill.

I mean, we did have to pay it in the end, though, cos Grindah left his jacket there with an ounce of weed in the pocket, so, yeah, we had to go back and apologise, but Remember!

Remember texting, calling or whatever, sending your sexy shouts and dedications.

Especially girls.

Just sweet ladies.

Phone that number to call 07050 030 108289.

Just wait now.

PHONE BEEPS Oh, sh*t.

Phone line crew.

All right, then Outsider phone line crew, yeah?

Message reads RADIO: 'Big up the people that do runners from romantic restaurants 'tonight.

Don't leave your jacket there.

' Uh I ain't really got a clue what the hell you're talking about, 'but Yeah.

Probably means 'something to you, so yeah, OKyeah?' Big yourself up.

I don't think he got the reference, so RADIO: '.

.

Knows what the hell that one 'was banging on about then, please' Back to work.

I don't really think there's any such thing as, like, an end and a beginning, but this is just another chapter in our love story, to be continued.

'Do you think that will happen soon?' I mean, I'm really hoping it will happen soon, cos I'm quite close to my goal-weight for the wedding and I don't really want to put it back on with all the upset, so Ideally.

In you come.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, look.

'Love is a madness.

'Trust me, it makes you do things 'that you never thought you would normally do.

' Like, my plan was to be a DJ, make loads of money off of bookings and that, sell a bit of weed and buy a yard.

Now I'm a family man.

Yeah.

I mean, I've gotta go and blaze in the garden and that, but It's all right, I suppose.

Just look at Beats and his baby, do you know what I mean?

It's a phase, yeah?

Like, once it's born, once it's screaming all night and that, he'll be the one running back to me, like, "Oh, can I do another set of radio?

"Sorry I missed that one.

" "Oh, you need a DJ.

" I'll DJ myself.

I don't need anyone.

All I need is me, like.

We pass it on to the next generation.

We live on through them.

It's the circle of life, mate.

One life ends . . another begins.

That's mad.

Cheers, mate.

I want to introduce you to someone.

This is Robyn Ariel.

Ah.

- She likes you.

- It's grabbed my finger.


Yeah.

I'm still quite annoyed at you, though, man.

I had to do radio on my own all day.

I done the aerial on my own.

You got no idea what that's like.

I hear you, mate, but sometimes things are just more important.

- Otherwise - Otherwise what?

Well, otherwise you end up on your mate's sofa.

Yeah, well, that's my decision, cos I could've gone on his top bunk, so Have you spoken to Miche?

You two really need to talk.

No, I ain't heard from her.

Did you have a good Valentine's Day?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Did you get any more cards?

Did YOU have a nice day?

Yeah.

This is nice.

'You know, she loves you, you know.

' f*ck knows why, but she does.

You know, you two have really got something, you've got far too much to let it all just fall by the wayside and not, like, nurture it like a garden, you know?

You've got a garden of - LAUGHS: - f*ck, I am really f*cking high.

Yeah.

- Of course she loves me.

Oh Ti-ti, listen, you can leave early, you get out of here.

I'm going to take care of everything, I'll clean up No, no, no, I can't let you do everything.

No, it's fine.

Listen, look, it's Valentine's Day, yeah?

You should be out there getting wined or dined.

- Not both?

- Hey!

Definitely both.

You deserve both.

No, it's OK.

Unless you've got some weird reason for needing to get rid of me, like you've booked a stripper or something.

THEY LAUGH No, I haven't done that for years.

And if I did want to treat myself, I'd probably go for an escort.

It's more classier.

Yeah.

- Yes, you lot.

- Yeah, Steves.

Oh, right, they're all coming in to look at me like this today.

Just came to see her.

- Oh.

- Put it there.

Thanks for coming, man.

- Do you want to have a hold?

- Can I hold her?

Is that all right?

Yeah, course it is.

Just don't drop her.

Ha-ha-ha(!) - That's your Uncle Steves.

- There you go.

- BABY GRUMBLES - Oops.

Got her?

There.

Hello, Nana.

It's me.

Steves.

I'm going to look after your ring for you.

Until you're big enough to wear it yourself.

And I've got your glasses, Nan.

- Circle of life, innit?

- Yeah.

Chabudds was right.

I knew you wouldn't go.

- Oh, oh, delicious.

- Glad you like.

Try it.

Open your mouth wide.

No.

I'll do it myself.

Can you taste the Viagra?

I'm only joking, only joking.

Viagra is pretty tasteless anyway.

Hey, how about some wine?

I can see what you're doing.

What?

It's for her, it's for the nan.

- Give her a little send-off.

- OK, go ahead.

Yeah?

OK, cool.

Mmmm.

- OK, stop.

- Huh?

Stop, stop.

It's for the nan, it's for Nan, for Nan.

HE GARGLES You really get the taste if you gargle wine.

Oh, really?

- LIFT ANNOUNCES: - 'Going down.

' It's now or never, really, innit?

'Doors opening.

' - Didn't know you were coming over.

- All right?

- Is that all right?

- Yeah, I guess so.

Got you these.

They're flowers.

Thank you.

A vase as well?

Yeah.

It sort of comes with them.

HE SIGHS Look, Miche I just wanted to come over and just I just wanted to let you know that I'm I'm ready for you to take me back.

- Oh, right.

- Yeah.

Cos nothing really that bad actually happened and It's been ages now and I've said I'm sorry, so - Well, no, you haven't.

- Well, I'm saying it now, then.

Don't be all weird.

Look, the point is that Beats and Roche got their kid now and I can't really stay there any more, and I just want us to get back together.

But do you think anything has actually changed?

No, but that's the point, like, nothing needs to change, like.

We'll just go back to how it was, that's the whole point of sorry, innit?

That is not how it works.

Well, do you want to explain how it works to me?

- Can I come in?

- No, I don't think it's a good idea.

What?

Have you got a man there?

What?!

Of course not!

The point is that you don't give a sh*t.

You're only here cos Beats kicked you out.

It's not Beats's house, it's Roche's house, and they didn't chuck me out, they asked me to leave.

You only care about yourself.

You're so lucky to have me and you haven't got a clue.

Yeah, well, maybe you ain't got a clue, yeah?

- I deserve more than this.

- Yeah?

Yeah?

Well, good luck trying to find someone better than me.

f*ck's sake.

Miche!

Oh, come on, that's not what I meant.

That's not how it was meant to happen.

Miche!

Miche?

Please, Miche.

I'm sorry.

(f*ck's sake. ) I'll just take the stairs.

If you're happy, yeah, then you should just make sure that nothing changes and just do the same thing every day for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but change is good, though, innit?

Like, sometimes it's good to leave your comfort zone.

Like, I didn't think I'd like Thai food.

It's actually quite banging.

All right, mate?

Yep.

Am I philosophical?

Yeah.

And that's why I think, like, memes and sayings can really help out.

Lights are blinding my eyes "Dance like nobody's watching.

So, you might as well just chill out.
