0:20
He's a Premier League Golden Boot award-winning striker for Tottenham, one of the most prolific goal scorers of all time, and the captain of England's national team.
0:26
But how will he fare today in a pressure-packed, high-stakes match against the Wings of Death?
0:29
I guess only time will tell.
0:30
Harry Kane, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me.
0:34
How are you around spicy food before we get started?
0:37
Yeah, I'm not I'm not great.
0:37

0:43
Well, are you ready to get started? Let's do it. Let's do it. Over here, yeah? Here you go. Okay. Okay. So far, not too bad. There we go. Yeah.
1:24
I was expecting a little bit worse, I think. I was like Okay.
1:27
Take your wins where you can get them here on this show.
1:30
Maybe I'm Maybe I'm Maybe I'm Maybe I'm just been Maybe I'm Maybe I've just been missing out, you know what I mean? Um No, it's not too bad. It's not too bad.
1:38
I'm I'm all right with that.
1:39
So, I want to congratulate you on another record-breaking season scoring 30-plus Premier League goals for the second time in your career, and then taking over Wayne Rooney to become England's all-time leading scorer.
1:47
Every season has its own meaning, its own lessons.
1:51
How will you remember this season in the arc of your career?
1:55
Yeah, this one, uh, you know, from a from a personal point of view has been pretty special.
1:59
Um To break the the England all-time goal scoring record was just a dream come true, really.
2:05
Um there were so many amazing players that I watched growing up.
2:09
So many strik- So many strikers scoring goals.
2:15
Um it's nice to be at the top of that list now, so truly special.
2:17
And yeah, for another another 30-goal season, which is great.
2:23
Um So yeah, overall, you know, I feel like I'm improving, I'm getting better, even though I'm a little bit older now, so I'm excited for for what's to come.
2:32
Oh, little bit of milk now.
2:32
There's a It's happening.
2:38
Yeah, just a little little little tingle on the on the throat there. Okay, let's do it, yeah.
2:50
I found that one a little easier. Right. Did you?
2:53
There's a little lever pulling that happens, you know?
2:56
Yeah, that's like a I feel like the first one was a little bit of a like a a little kick, and then this one's just not too bad.
3:02
You know, it's like a game, you know?
3:03
You settle into the game when when you get that first contact.
3:05
You know what I'm saying? That's what happened.
3:07
You got your first hit, now you're in.
3:09
like the curry I do like a curry back back home in England, so So it's kind of familiar.
3:14
Yeah, I think it's a familiar Yeah, I'm quite familiar with that taste, so um that's that's okay. Thumbs up. Very good. far, so good. It's all right.
3:20
It's all So as an American, it's wild to read about these European youth football academies where, you know, at such a young age, the next Messi, the next Ronaldo, the next Kane is anointed.
3:30
At what age do you think talent can actually be observed?
3:35
And then what's the first memory you have of yours being recognized in a meaningful way?
3:41
Yeah, that's a great question, you know.
3:43
Like someone like me, I've been at the club I'm at now since I was 11 years old.
3:46
So that's that's 18 years I've been there, and I think that's too early to really tell, you know if a player is going to be a great player or not.
3:54
great player or not. I think yeah that 15 16 mark was when I started seeing like a difference in me and you know my confidence started growing and you know people started looking at me maybe in a bit of a different light and it was like okay this this kid could
4:06
have a future so yeah when I when I'm talking to the you know parents or yeah with young kids who want to play football I'm just telling them that up until kind of 14 15 just let them enjoy it let them kind of uh feel their way into it cuz the most important thing is that they're happy right? They want to
4:21
They want to they want to be enjoying what they're doing.
4:24
Uh and then once you kind of see physically how they are at 15 16 that's when you get to know what they're what they're going to be like.
4:30
And then it's rather remarkable that you and David Beckham both came out of the Ridgeway Rovers. That's right yeah.
4:35
What's special about that youth academy?
4:37
Yeah I'm not too sure that was our local to me me and David were both from uh a place called Chingford uh in East London and um yeah we kind of both ended up at this team obviously he was 10 or so years uh before me maybe uh and yeah they just had a good set up you
4:53
know they had good coaches there they had a good environment you know when when I went there I just went there to enjoy it play football with friends and uh that was kind of the start for me so it brings back some good memories. There we go love that walk down memory
5:04
There we go love that walk down memory lane.
5:05
Are you ready to move on here? ready. To wing number three.
5:09
Got a zesty lemon pepper. Okay.
5:12
Wing here from the Krabby Shack. Yeah. Ooh.
5:24
A little little kick to it. Right yeah.
5:27
more than number two I think.
5:29
And that's how it's kind of going to go from here.
5:30
That's me being honest with you Harry I'm transparent you know all about like real easy just getting into it this is a Yeah it had a little uh had a little kick to it.
5:39
yeah a little trail that it leaves behind.
5:41
that there's seven more to go is a little bit worrying so.
5:45
But you know what you're somebody who can conquer the mental All right?
5:46
You wouldn't be where you were now if it wasn't for that.
5:49
I can see it in your eyes right now. Just seven more reps. Seven more reps. That's it. That's it. Let's do it.
5:57
So, you and teammate Young Min Son have set all kinds of Premiership records for combined goals.
6:00
Is there anything that you can point to that makes your partnership so telepathic?
6:06
You know, the first kind of three, four years we didn't have that amazing record that that we have now.
6:10
It took us time to build that.
6:13
Uh I think getting to know obviously how each other play on the pitch, but also what you're like off the pitch as well.
6:19
And we started to become closer in friendship.
6:21
We started to know each other a little bit better.
6:22
And then yeah, just think it come with, you know, understanding each other's games.
6:26
You know, he's a fantastic player, a lot of skill.
6:30
And now kind of whenever I'm on the ball he knows certain runs to make and without thinking, looking, or playing it straight away.
6:38
And uh yeah, we've just been both of us have I think just improved along that along that process and become a bit more prolific.
6:43
So, uh yeah, he's a a great player, but a really great guy as well.
6:49
Do you have a personal favorite goal of yours in your career?
6:51
And if so, can you paint the picture for us?
6:55
I think my favorite goal um was my England debut goal.
6:58
Um it was at Wembley, our home stadium.
7:02
I come on for Wayne Rooney, who was someone, you know, I looked up to growing up.
7:07
That moment kind of he's running off the pitch, I'm running on.
7:10
And I was just so excited.
7:10
And then within I think it was about two about three minutes game uh I scored my first goal, you know, it was like a ball kind of floated over to the back post.
7:20
I headed it down into the goal.
7:23
And just that emotion in that moment was just, you know, something that's hard to describe.
7:27
It was just I had all my my family there in the stadium.
7:29
I had my friends, my wife, Kate.
7:31
And uh yeah, just to kind of share that moment as an England player.
7:36
And you know, no one can ever take that away from me.
7:37
You know, I still remember it so vividly now.
7:41
So, that's that's probably one that always stays my favorite cuz it meant so much.
7:50
Pleasantly surprised by flavor.
7:50
This is just a real slow warm-up into what's to come. Smart man.
8:01
And this is kind of one that takes a little bit of a jump here at four. Starts off kind of nice. Kind of sweet. Approachable.
8:10
Yeah, it's got like a little It's got like a little bit of a just Yeah.
8:17
It's got like a little um Like a barbecue like a little Is that a little Yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:21
barbecue sweetness little sweet barbecue situation, but it just Yeah. It's just like there.
8:26
It's just like There's a sharpness It don't go away.
8:29
It just It just goes away. Okay.
8:33
So, I'm fascinated by your dream to one day be a field goal kicker in the NFL.
8:37
And I'm a Chicago Bears fan, okay? Okay.
8:39
And a few years ago, we lost a playoff game on what was famously called the double doink, okay?
8:43
It was a kick that went off the upright and then off the crossbar, doinking rather loudly along the way.
8:52
And then out to lose the game.
8:54
And it's crystallized in my memory, like one of my most crystallized sports fan memories.
8:58
And I'm curious if you would all sympathize, empathize, think about the plight of the field goal kicker, a position that naturally lends itself to being defined by its biggest failures and lowest moments.
9:10
Yeah, that's that's the That's the thing with a field goal kicker, you know, they're not probably the most famous player on the team.
9:15
They're not the one maybe They get famous when they mess up, you know? Exactly.
9:18
So, you know, they but they're probably maybe other than the quarterback under the most pressure when they're on the pitch because, you know, it's all How many NFL games go down to a winning field goal? Right.
9:30
And you win or lose on the field goal.
9:31
So, in terms of pressure, you know, there's not many you of specific moments in sport like a NFL kicker.
9:36
So, I think that's why it's so tough.
9:39
And like you said, if you if you miss one, people remember that forever.
9:42
So, you got to be pretty good to you know, stay good in those moments.
9:48
Maybe that's what makes it fun for you.
9:50
Have you ever thought about that? Maybe.
9:51
But it depends if I if I make them or don't make them.
9:53
That's But that's the risk.
9:54
Maybe that's the feeling that you like.
9:57
like like we touched on, it's similar to a penalty, you know, it's very you know, you have the moment to be the hero, but also you have the moment to be the villain.
10:04
So, it's that you know, it's that real but I think that's what inside drives, you know, athletes or the top professionals to to push them push themselves to those sort of limits. So, we'll see. We'll see. I'm ready.
10:21
So, this next one is the Los Calientes Rojo here.
10:27
So, last year you posted that your New Year's resolution for the past decade has been to improve.
10:31
What are the greatest lengths that you've gone to in order to master a part of the game?
10:35
You know, I did read about you training with only your left foot for 3 months once.
10:41
Yeah, that left foot one I was I think I was about 17 17 at time, maybe 18.
10:46
And I could use my left foot.
10:46
I was good with my left foot, but I I looked around and I looked at the top players and I thought, well, if I want to be, you know, the best, I need to be able to pretty much score with my left foot as simple as the right, pass with my left foot, and uh I said, look, I'm just going to I'm just going to use this I'm going to use this time to uh just practice my left.
11:08
So, in training I literally every shot I hit was with my left.
11:12
Every time I touched the ball, I would dribble with my left, pass with my left foot.
11:16
Got to the stage where whether I had a finish on my right or my left, I felt natural on both.
11:20
And uh yeah, stuff like that has really kind of excelled me and I feel like separated me from you know, some of the other players who were probably just as talented as I was at that age.
11:30
Um, but that kind of mindset helped me to get where I am now. Spicy shark is a a bite. It indeed does. Yeah, for sure. Mhm. Yeah.
11:55
I can I can almost see it in the bowl.
11:59
I can see that there's the spice just sitting there, just It's taunting you. Okay.
12:04
A bit of a runny bit of a nose uh It's It's all going to loosen up here. It's that time.
12:12
Are you at all envious of how American sports stars position themselves in the press?
12:15
Like, have you observed a difference between the British and American media in terms of how they treat athletes? Uh, yeah, I think so.
12:22
I think um you know, I'd probably say American athletes are a bit more open and a bit more um maybe just say less guarded in in their approach to how they talk in the media.
12:36
Um maybe over in England you have to be a little bit more careful with what you say and how you say things.
12:40
I feel like, you know, the public ain't ain't silly.
12:45
They know when someone's kind of guarding against certain questions or they don't want to be have say the honest answer and they say maybe the correct answer if you want to, but um Yeah, I feel Sometimes you want to just say the truth.
12:56
Yeah, I Yeah, pretty much Yeah, pretty much, but uh obviously I understand how it works and you know, sometimes you just you can't do that, but um I definitely feel like over over here in in the States you can uh you know, the athletes are a little more open to doing that.
13:15
I've still got the spicy shark on my tongue, so. I know. I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
13:31
It's very similar to the spicy shark.
13:33
Right, we're just in that world.
13:34
that's taking a massive jump. I feel like this.
13:37
The shark is a very spicy number six for this lineup, so it can be kind of jarring.
13:41
You know, you're like, this is how we're starting the second half. We got four more to go.
13:44
So, it's kind of nice to think a little about the Chico over here is it kind of kicks in a little bit later.
13:50
You know, like as a thing that you're catching. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah.
13:57
Reflecting back on your career from the youth game to now, what's the most memorable trick play or elaborate set piece you ever recall participating in? Oh, good question.
14:05
So, um there was one for England we had.
14:08
We was playing Panama in the World Cup in 2018 and uh we had like two guys on the ball uh about 40 yards out.
14:15
They played a like a pass to to the right side uh to the left side.
14:21
We were at our lot position.
14:21
You know, that I'm thinking about now.
14:22
We all had our set position.
14:24
He kind of crossed it over to me on the far side and then I headed it back across goal to one of my teammates and and it worked.
14:30
We literally we worked on it in training the day before the game and you know, sometimes you work on this stuff and it's like, you know, it never you get to a game and it never works.
14:38
You know, people are in different positions.
14:41
But, this one just worked perfectly and uh we ended up scoring from it.
14:43
So, that's one that, you know, I always remember.
14:47
I've heard about this uh The Bomb. The Bomb. Beyond Insanity. What have you heard?
14:54
I've just heard it's brutal and unenjoyable.
14:59
Well, I guess we'll find out. We will. That's not nice. No, not at all. That's not nice. That is disgusting. Not the others.
15:20
I feel like you could have with a nice bit of food or something like when they were spicy, you saw some sort of redeeming culinary quality. Not in this one, though.
15:36
I just I just burned everything in your mouth. I know. I know.
15:40
And then here we are on an interview show and I'm about to ask you a question. Right. Right.
15:45
It's getting hot in here now, though. It is getting hot.
15:49
What in your mind is the greatest football anthem or chant of all time?
15:53
Well, Tottenham have a good one for me.
15:56
Uh They sing he's one of our own, which come about I scored a I scored a hat trick in a one of my first games.
16:07
Um it was a Europa League game at the time.
16:11
And uh I just started hearing them sing he's one of our own, he's one of he's one of our own, he's one and uh yeah, it's just because I've come through the academy made cuz I've been in the first team for a while. hero. That is it.
16:22
It was kind of uh yeah, their way of kind of singing a song for me and uh it really like hit me hard.
16:28
It was amazing to hear and uh you know, I was local to the stadium.
16:33
That's pretty rare in our sport to have that.
16:35
So, yeah, to have them sing he's one of our own, you know, feels like I'm I'm part of them, I'm part of the fan group and that's that's pretty special.
16:42
In the way that you just took the bomb to the chest, I think your man of the people legacy is only going to grow from here. I think so. I hope so.
16:48
After doing it I'm doing this for everyone now.
16:51
I'm not Wow, that is like uh It's crazy. It's intense.
16:56
Always a part of the show where you don't know where it's going to go because that has to be the spiciest thing you've ever eaten in your life. Without a doubt.
17:05
And the most probably the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten as well.
17:09
There's no way anyone would ever eat that to have like an enjoyable meal. There's no way.
17:15
There's two more to go as well, by the way. Right.
17:20
For better or worse, this next one is the watermelon ghost.
17:25
I feel like my mouth can't be any more burnt, so Right. It's scorched earth. How bad can it be?
17:38
I feel like I can't feel anything.
17:41
I feel like my mouth is just completely uh The hard work is over here, Harry.
17:43
The hard work is all over.
17:45
You know, once you get through the bomb, you can take on anything.
17:50
Yeah, I feel like But again, that was like I feel like you could eat that. Right.
17:55
There's There's something that I feel like they could maybe put that on there. Find something you like.
18:00
The the bomb one is just a disgrace of a a sauce.
18:06
Do you have any sort of strategy or rules of engagement when it comes to working the ref during a match, or is that kind of communication just purely visceral?
18:14
Yeah, I feel like it's it's part and parcel of the sport, you know, you have to be able to try and help like get help in any way possible.
18:21
And you know, sometimes if you're just shouting at the ref all the time, or you know, he's going to maybe take that the other way and almost you know, just put you to one side, give you no decisions, or whatever it may be.
18:32
You know, the ref is always there to you know, do his job, but he's a he's a human at the end of the day.
18:39
So, um you know, I'm someone who likes to talk to the refs and try to understand some of the decisions they make, cuz I know and they're not always going to be perfect.
18:47
Yeah, ultimately it's just about you know, figuring out what type of ref you've got and then trying to like um You can do some armchair psychology and see what works for you in any given situation. Yeah. All right. Oh.
19:05
We had a bit extra to do.
19:06
We had a little bit of How much we talking? Four wings is that good?
19:17
Yeah, that's actually that's perfect. That's perfect. That's perfect. All right, well, cheers. Cheers. Going in. I love it. I love it. Wow. Yeah.
19:36
Another crazy one, but I know. I know. It's all over.
19:40
Straight out my nose pretty much. It's all over. You did it.
19:41
The worst is behind you and just one more question to close things out.
19:46
You know, I came into this experience with a new greater appreciation for the sport and for you Harry Kane.
19:54
Forever a Harry Kane supporter on this side of the table.
19:56
But over the course of the research, there's so much just strange lingo, things that I needed definitions for and I think now is the perfect time to bounce some of those things off of you to see if you can define these things while your brain slow roasts in hot sauce, okay? Yeah, let's do it. What's a fox in the box?
20:15
Fox in the box is like a just a sharp, you know, like nippy kind of player.
20:20
Scores the goals, but don't do much else.
20:23
They're just a fox in the box.
20:24
They just score goals close by. Few tap-ins. Yeah.
20:28
What's a dead ball specialist? Dead ball.
20:33
Dead ball specialist is the like a you know, like a free kick or a corner kick, you know, and they just they're like top of their game in that.
20:41
So, they'll score loads of free kicks.
20:44
Their corner corner kicks and stuff are always just perfectly in the box.
20:45
Um, so yeah, that's a dead ball specialist. What's a howler?
20:52
A howler is like a real bad mistake.
20:55
So, so um, if you're like a goalkeeper and you let one through your legs or one you're supposed to catch, that's a howler. Kick it behind you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:04
Well, let me tell you something Harry Kane, no howlers today.
21:05
Taking on the wings of death and living to tell the tale.
21:10
And now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you.
21:13
This camera, this camera, this camera, let the people know what you have going on in your life.
21:17
So, guys, thanks for having me on the show.

21:36
Appreciate you guys having me on the show.
21:39

21:50
OH, BUT IT'S JUST UH YEAH.
21:53
