The pair were also quizzed about their album-ender Mother Nature and asked if it was about reconnecting to Nature, Gallagher revealed his connection to the great outdoors has gotten stronger with age.

“I’m digging it as I get older,” he said. “I like walking the dog and that round the woods. It’s nice, man. I’m the new Goldilocks”

Speaking about his walks with his “mega” pet pooch, Gallagher also admitted she responds to him best when he says her name in a high pitched voice, but he only reserves it for when people aren’t around.

“It depends, man how I say it,” he revealed. “Sometimes when there’s no one about I say it in a really high-pitched voice and she understands it and that, but when there’s a couple of people about I go deep like Barry White […] and she’s like, ‘What’s going on dickhead?'”
