“It didn’t happen!” Young told the UTD Podcast.
“I’ve said this for God knows how long. It got to a point where I thought I need to do an interview to say that this didn’t happen, but I just couldn’t be bothered. It had gone viral; it’s still going viral I think now. Even my wife and kids say a bird pooed in your mouth, but no it didn’t!”
