Uncle tick "Fat bitch in the bakery" Lewis: "yeah"

[@ian_fraser_]

This was amazing. Lewis is so genuine and willing to share. While Leighton is also working really hard to make what he's dealing with known. This was as good as it gets.

[@kimberlypeterson9234]

My daughter's boyfriend has Tourette's. His tics are similar to Lewis's. He has been bullied and people have been so rude when he tics. I appreciate Lewis bringing awareness!

[@YFIOFmate]

What a cool conversation. I always love watching Aussies kiwis and Scottish interviews I feel like we all have similar humour and banter - this was just a really natural conversation between mates and I wish it was longer! ❤

[@neilanderson8385]

Uncle Tics at 0:08 had me in stitches

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

This is kinda like what I liked about AA. Just talking to someone else going through the same thing is such a huge help, and makes a huge difference.

[@andydiamond5818]

Only problem with this was it wasn’t long enough 😢 could listen to Lewis and Leighton talk all day

[@adrianosullivanOfficial]

Love this, "Like a fat bitch in a bakery" 🤣 Fair play lads!

[@aerbx5014]

This struggle is real. I was one of the fortunate ones that have overcame this; but it is super rare. Everything he said is 100% accurate. Having to hit that pitch, touch a spot, smell a smell, ugh. It sometimes comes back to rear it's ugly head, but it's less than it ever was. Love this share.

[@laurachadwick8516]

Lewis and Leighton = best buds, you too would have a riot, hanging out together. Though saying that, I think anyone would have a brilliant time with you, because you seem so easy to be around. Great music and a great person ❤❤

[@zoerivers3431]

I love this interview. Not that i knew anything about it before. My brother passed away at 50 yrs old in 2017 with heart and cancer but he had some tic's similar to you growing up and as an adult. He constantly licked his lips, sniffing his hands fingers and constantly clearing his throat or making a weird noise.. please advocate we need more of this.. love you guys ❤

[@justasupportivemom]

This was so good. A great genuine conversation about tourettes, they should be had often, and publicly. Thanks for this!

[@sazdragon]

There definitely isn’t enough Tourettes awareness around the world it’s heartbreaking. My husband has it and took him about 2-3 years to get a diagnosis while his tics was getting worse!! He went to see some goats a few weeks ago (one of his favourite animals I might add) and they make him tic really bad, he was trying to see if being near them would help him sorta cure the tics (the word goat also gives him a tic attack) but it didn’t help. Leighton and Lewis I follow both you guys and have done for a very long time, you should get together and help spread more awareness about Tourettes syndrome. Much love to both you guys ❤❤

[@moonske]

3:12-3:17 I know bro wanted to laugh 😂

[@caroldier6425]

Hello fae Scotland boys! Such an important piece of awareness raising for tourettes. Lewis is a total star. Did you get over to Glasto? That show was amazing, the crowd finishing his set with him. Legend.

[@RukkmansWorld]

One of the coolest fucking people on the PLANET!!!!! For several reasons.. but it is no doubt all based on the fact that he is Scottish through to the bone.. you cant get a more down to earth people ... and he is an amazing representative of that great nation!!! What a fucking legend!

[@cherylmaison250]

My heart goes out to Lewis and any one else who has to deal with this. One of my sons has Tourette's and it can be so hard at times.

[@danielleboltoni7170]

Glad he’s taking a break we don’t need him falling out on stage❤🙏🏽

[@kittykatln]

That was brilliant, great way to start season 2 off boys!

[@daftgowk1]

The first shout in the background of penis, Lewis didn't bat an eyelid. Gotta love that dude

[@kimnapier8387]

I love these guys 😍. So honest and thoughtful, regarding the Tourettes syndrome. It's beautiful and heart wrenching. We all have something to deal with. It's appreciated 😊. Thank you for sharing this ☺️

[@oh3design624]

These kinds of conversations are so important to help demystify and bring awareness to a serious diagnosis! Brilliant!

[@macbud100]

such a good interview 🙌

[@TheMatthassan]

What a fantastic podcast, great people creating awareness for a truly worthy cause. I wish you all the best getting an egg on Lewis at Glastonbury! 😂

[@RiceyBhoy89]

Gotta give yous a follow this has been great 💚

[@manarktwah]

Cant wait for the glastonbury content!!! Both legends💯💯

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Bless him. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@laughingman_confused]

I am not diagnosed medically but I twitch a lot when I was young for almost 2 decades. The twitching is so bad that my right side of neck hurts so bad cause the twitching is severe on my neck area. I noticed that I dont twitch when I am sleeping so I realized that my twitching is self inflicted so I trained myself psychologically to stop my body from twitching. The first two months is the worst part cause the struggle between my body and brain to cooperate to stop twitching is really hard. Whenever my brain lose control, I just stop, sit, closed my eyes, take a lot of deep breath until my brain regains control over my body. I'm twitch free for years but when covid hits, I got stressed a lot and start twitching again. At first I tolerate it caused it gives me relief then I got addicted again to twitching for four months then I recognized that I need to stop. I go psychological training again and I'm twitch free up to now. Now my case may not be tourette cause I am not medically diagnosed.

[@paulwilson4866]

I ❤you Lewis Capaldi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pommedupin]

[@kelliewonderly6841]

[@christiegrows2022]

This is epic ❤

[@NDMatrix]

Really good stuff here . Got my sub

[@logunov13serg]

🎉 finally seeing this is so cool 🙌🏻

[@angiepanjie]

What an amazing show. This exactly what Lewis needs. Get it all out in the open, rest and learn how to live with it in a healthy way. He’ll be a great advocate for others who have it too. What’s this show called?

[@rovaapp]

This is called Tic-Heads! It's a hilarious podcast that brings awareness to tourettes :)

[@angiepanjie]

@@rovaapp thank you!

[@timmcfarland9734]

Hey was wondering if cbd or thc oil would help with this?? Good podcast boyz!!

[@DillTheAlmighty]

This is dope

[@kriskerrigan1224]

Ok don’t drink cup of tea or anything watching this as I spat mine out 😂😂😂 got caught off guard with ur man’s screams lol

[@pamkellow1605]

You could hear him in the background shouting ,😂

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

He❤❤ is just so brave. Aww ,my habit was always sitting bored in class with my hands on the cheeks of my face,until something funny in class happened. ❤❤❤ Then I would cheer up,I was a quiet and sometimes nervous kid,but very shy also.

[@sueb4496]

Lewis is a good man.

[@gregvojnovic5035]

Thank you for talking about Tourette's. Can you give more info about the watch? My son suffers from Tourette's.

[@kelliewonderly6841]

Same in America. from what i have seen, the UK has more than we do for this. The closes clinic I have for TS is a 5 hour Drive and i couldn't even find my son a therapist with TS training at all with in 3 or 4 hour drive

[@Sammy-cm9ce]

What's good for the goose is good for the gander :'))

[@solarsatori]

not me smelling my hands at the exact moment he mentioned smelling his hands.

[@DrExcess]

Im a sufferer, have been all my life watching others tic triggers the fuck out of me. What ill say is most days i can. Now I control my tics to the extent that most people dont even know i suffer, rhats not by celebration or raising awareness or allowing them, its by daily surpressing and fighting them until some days im abke to almost forget. Dont lwt the tics take over, ots a scsle and youbhave to gradually work on the balance and eventually you can win. 30+ yeats experience dealing with very similar levels to what lewis is seeing now. My eyes and body used to be physically bruised and tired if tic so much. I do the opposite of whatever ots trying to do, if a muscle wants to contract, i strwtch it. Fast blinks, i force slow, lean left i slowly lean right. Anyway, hope that helps somebody, any sufferers reach out. Much love.

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Lol this wee shock ha ha 😂

[@mybrokenmindddd]

Yeah that's what me and my dad asked when my new specialist said I have Tourettes and we're like okay so it's not any type tics That will gradually go away with time. This is something more serious and we are just like oh my goodness. We have a big case on our hands so we weren't expecting it. We knew something was up but like I said all my old doctors would send me home and says anxiety when nothing stopped EVERY TIME I GOT SENT HOME EVERYTHING GOT WORSE THROUGH TIME! And we kept going back and they still wouldn't give me a legit answer That's why I find private doctors so much better than regular doctors cuz regular doctors DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE DOING AND DON'T EDUCATE THEMSELVES ENOUGH ABOUT EVERYTHING LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO like isn't that what doctors are supposed to do know everything Is that why they go to school to learn to know what's going on with people A lot of doctors should not be in the field and a lot of nurses shouldn't be either cuz they're not good You don't push someone away YOU HELP THEM LIKE YOU SAY YOU WOULD WHEN YOU SIGNED UP! If you doctors and nurses don't really care about people WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU IN THE FIELD THEN oh yeah I forgot It's all about the MONEY You people don't care about the patience. All you care about has how much dough you can get FREAKING SAD AS HELL IS WHAT I THINK

[@Groovestonenz]

Are these guys kiwis? Uncle Tics? Love it. Not a fan of Lewis' music, but always found him funny as f***. Then I saw him at Glastonbury, and i actually teared up watching the crowd lift him. Such a beautiful moment.

[@daylight5500]

TRUTH!

[@tetepeb]

I mean no disrespect but "Finger up the bum, woohoo let´s go" is such an awesome thing to use if you like something :)

[@JazzyAana]

Jazzy is a very smart girl she has her hands on you to help her with her homework she is very smart she knows how you do things she is smart and smart she’s a smart girl and she’s smart and smart and smart so she’s smart she is smart she’s a great

[@keri1594]

I have tourettes too

[@paulaphillips1550]

❤❤❤

[@user-by7kr9vj5v]

I suffer neck spasms a lot, it must be painful. The only thing that calms my spasms which i know isn’t the same as you Lewis but diazepam is the only thing that calls it down. Twitching i can imagine would be very painful xx

[@Rondawwg]

I hope they did meet up at Glastonbury……..

[@RiceyBhoy89]

I’m fucking greeting here 😭😭😭 “Shut up you orange potatoe!!” 😭😂😭😭😂😭 I will pay for a battle rap between this guy and Lewis,he’ll slaughter you 😂😂 All banter and this was a great watch,I feel for anyone with tics,the world is hard enough and to feel that level of anxiety must be fucking awful. But yeh I needed this today,helps me with my own shit. Thanks bois 💚💪🏻

[@tangoprincess7806]

🙌🙏💓💓

[@crazygp8820]

So before tiktok came out I was trying to make up a gamertag for Xbox and I was thinking of the name uncle tics, because I have tourettes and then I see this uncle tics 😲 what I do for my tics Scream or squeal, I twitch my head and shoulders and neck, I like tense the inside of my throat up when talking, I repeat same words sometimes, I pull the finger sometime 😅 and more

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Lol

[@regplasma7906]

His dad Robbie Coltrane would hate this.

[@mybrokenmindddd]

My new specialist say that I should have been diagnosed at 20 years old with Tourettes not at 31 years old. No one knows really how hard tourette's can be. I never asked for it. I never wanted it. I just thought I had tics and eventually buy therapy or some hope they would go away. But I had a really strong case of tourette's saying it came with a vengeance. It really did and when I was having the rage attack in the emergency room that was not me. That was a whole different person. I didn't even recognize myself and it scared me half to death like when they told me all that was happening and they showed footage of me because they had cameras in the room and literally I was recorded and you can't imagine the tears and the horror in my face. When I saw how I was acting I couldn't stop. It was a full-on rage attack. I was trying to kill myself to be brutally honest with everyone I really was. I was really trying to kill myself. Tourette's is very debilitating. It can be very frightening to have because it turns you into a monster you don't want to be. It's turned me into a monster that is on a recognizable to me. I don't recognize myself anymore because of it. It's led me to a dark place that I don't want to be a part of, but I'm a part of the dark anyway because I have Tourettes I don't TIC ALL THE DAMN TIME EVERY DAY It doesn't work that way My case may be complexed and severe but I don't tic every single day

[@susanteller7046]

Sharing - in 2015, I was choked to death by a man who jumped on my back and it was just 2 months after I got hit by a car on my bicycle with my head landing 1" from oncoming traffic. Anyway, as a result, I now have a speech impediment and turet's like twitches. Anxiety and stress sucks. But it usually happens to highly intuitive and intelligent empathetic people who wouldn't hurt a soul. God bless. And yes, God the Almighty himself saved my very life that day.

[@lorrainedevlin6409]

Its not ticking lol very interesting thing for people who have that same condition. Lewis can do an add for the watch. weird he said his lass situng on his face ,eggs what! Crazy. Aye aye c.nt Lewis is not a cnt.

[@MM-qt9cg]

psychedelics :)

[@The-Joker616]

I have Tourettes and ADD and do you think anyone will speak to me or interview me? NO. I just get made fun of😢

[@janettmusic]

Don't misunderstand me, but I kinda like that Lewis has Tourettes, so we get exposed to interviews like this and learn more about it as a society

[@jameswesleykarl]

1:03 what's that random S C R E A M A A A A sound in the background????

[@Andy-we5og]

✅

[@MM-qt9cg]

verbal tics from Leighton.

[@powerface71]

I pray he didn't get the clot shot!

[@tumawiperi916]

I mean this was a cool interview. But the guy with the pink hair needs to shut up sometimes and let the bros speak a little more. There was so much more they could've talked about if he wasn't there show boating them lol

[@Belfastboi]

That guy let himself down with the bakery line. Low.

[@PianoGirl76]

It isn't intentional, nor is it something they usually think or believe. Tourette's is a real b!tch!

[@rovaapp]

That was a verbal tic from Uncle Tics, as he has Tourettes so he can't always control what he says. We leave in all of his tics when editing to educate and spread awareness to tourettes
