Jimmy Kimmel: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Self - Host : I'm always surprised when you show up because first of all, your very strong: your handshake alone is intimidating and basically, I'll say that I find it "off footing" that a chef is in such excellent shape

  Gordon Ramsay : thank you

  Self - Host : because the "message" to me is that I will not eat my own cooking

  Gordon Ramsay : [laughs]  no, come on, that's good point, I was a fat chef once

  Self - Host : you were?

  Gordon Ramsay : I was overweight once, I think we all put some weight at somewhere in our life, no?

  Self - Host : [nods]  yeah

  Gordon Ramsay : how you ever been pudgy?

  Self - Host : I am right now: you see me with my clothes off, it's a disaster

  Gordon Ramsay : I suppose when you get to your forties, I'm always a bit more cautious, so I eat well, but I train hard

  Self - Host : you do the triathlons, right, are you still doing that?

  Gordon Ramsay : yeah, the Ironman. In fact, I managed to "coach" my wife into doing one because I found out it was a great way in spending more time together. We train in the hills in Hawaii and literally the day before I say "If you don't mind, I'm gonna do an Ironman"

  Self - Host : yeah, that be annoying to her because your off training by yourself, spending hours a day I'd imagine

  Gordon Ramsay : well, we train together now

  Self - Host : oh, you do, ok

  Gordon Ramsay : so, we do, in fact, last Sunday we took all the kids for a swim in Malibu. We have wetsuits on and had this amazing swim but Jack and I were hanging out by this boy and he said "Dad, where are the girls?" And it was like twenty minutes later, he saw Tana, Tilly and Holly, so, yeah, they're a little slow

  Self - Host : [jokingly, referring to Ramsay's accent]  can I be honest? I didn't understand any of the last sentences

  Gordon Ramsay : we're going for this amazing swim in the ocean and you don't want to hang about in that ocean, right?

  Self - Host : yeah, well because there's sharks in that ocean

  Gordon Ramsay : so, yeah, a little bit awkward

  Self - Host : how old are your kids?

  Gordon Ramsay : so, the twins are fifteen, Megan's sixteen, and Matilda's thirteen

  Self - Host : oh, I got you. So, they enjoy that? Exercising with you?

  Gordon Ramsay : Yes, so, they don't curse

  Self - Host : how is that possible, is that their way of "rebelling"?

  Gordon Ramsay : [after the crowd laughs]  I try to teach them some sign language. So, I say "Look, cursing is not smart, it's an "industry" language and sometimes daddy lets it slip, sometimes several times a day. So, I came up with some really nice "alternatives" to curse words
