Hello, listeners of the Off Menu podcast. It is Ed Gamble here from the Off Menu podcast. I have a very exciting announcement. I have written my first ever book. I am absolutely over the moon to announce this. I'm very, very proud of it. Of course, what else could I write a book about? But food. My book is all about food. My life in food. How greedy I am. What a greedy little boy I was. What a greedy adult I am. I think it's very funny. I'm very proud of it. The book is called Glutton, the multi-course life of a very greedy boy. And it's coming out this October, but it is available to pre-order now, wherever you pre-order books from. And if you like my signature, I've done some signed copies,

which are exclusively available from Waterstones. But go and pre-order your copy of Glutton, the multi-course life of a very greedy boy now. Please? And cut directly into the podcast, and you'll just see the chat ooze out. Welcome to the Off Menu podcast. Thank you, Ed Gamble. Oh, thank you very much, James A. Caster. Or hello, is the traditional greeting, I suppose, rather than thank you very much. Well, I don't know, man. I'm mixing it up. I'm a man of the world now, because I've traveled to New York City. We are in New York City. This is the first of many episodes that we have recorded in

New York City. Also, some episodes coming at you, a hat from Los Angeles, California. Full disclosure, we really just wanted to go on a little holiday, the three of us together, and eat loads of food in America. And we decided that the best way to do that was to turn it into work. And we've caught some podcasts while we're here, and Benito has been very hard at work, booking a load of guests, our little Benito. Beniti Benito has been beavering away. We're going to call him Book Nito, because he's booked so many bloody guests. Yes, yes. So we have many, many guests coming to you from New York, but today, the first one of

those, very exciting. The special guest is Noah Schnapp. Noah Schnapp is a wonderful actor. You may recognize him from one of the best TV shows out there at the moment, Stranger Things. Will Byers, baby. He's got a film coming out on Friday at the UK cinemas called Waiting for Anya, which sounds very, very exciting. We talked to him about that a little bit. Yes, he played a shepherd, which all four, not enough shepherds in cinema, in my opinion. There aren't enough shepherds in cinema. Come to think of it, I can't think of another shepherd in cinema.

Brokeback Mountain. Oh, okay. Not seen it. Great film. Two shepherds in that. Oh, they're sheep herders, really. I thought they were cowboys. Yeah, yeah. But also, like, shepherds, like, looking after the sheep, I believe. I think it's the sheep. Yeah, I think they're sheep herders. Yeah. Which is where the word shepherd comes from, Ed. It's sheep herd, herd sheep.

Hey, James. I genuinely didn't know that. Thank you. So he's playing a shepherd in that. Stranger Things got another film coming out called Abe. He's a busy, busy boy, so we're very lucky to get a little bit of time with him to ask him abouts, James. Oh, yes. We asked him his favorite ever, starter, main course, dessert, side dish and drink. We did indeed, but if Noah Schnapp says a secret ingredient that we have pre-decided, we're not only going to kick him out of the restaurant, we're going to kick him out of the restaurant, out of the dimension, straight back down into the goddamn upside down.

Bad luck, Noah Schnapp. You're going to be in the upside down forever. No more school for you. And the secret ingredient for Noah Schnapp is truffle oil, truffle oil, which we did nearly pick for Anthony Head earlier in the series. And very luckily we didn't pick that because we were getting on with Anthony Head and he did want truffle oil on his menu. Yeah. The main reason we didn't pick it is because even though it will be fun one day if we kick someone out of the restaurant, we didn't really want to kick Anthony Head out of the restaurant. So beforehand we said truffle oil. Oh no, he might pick that and

then he picked it. So here we think Noah not going to pick truffle oil. I don't think he'll pick it. You know, he's a teenage boy. Sure. He's not going to pick truffle oil. They're not guzzling down truffle oil. There's only one teenage boy I can think of who would have eaten truffle oil and that was me. Yeah, that was you. Because I'm a precocious little bell end. You would have had truffle oil and you would have said, Mother, this is the nice truffle oil. This is a proper white truffle oil. I don't like it. I don't like the way it tastes in my mouth. It doesn't make me feel good. It doesn't make me feel nice. Fetch me proper truffle

oil. Get out the truffle pig from the back. Go truffle me some proper truffles and make the oil woman. Bring me my 12th birthday cake. So we don't think Noah's going to say truffle oil. We hope we don't have to kick him out of the restaurant. We're very excited to have him here. I can't believe it. This is the first of many. We're going to get all the cast of Stranger Things. I can feel it in my bones. Oh, you think this is the first that we're going to tick them all off? Oh, yeah. I think so. We've got will buyers, baby. This is one of the key players. This means everyone else is going to follow suit. That's the first domino. Once you've got will, everyone's like, okay, seems pretty safe. He

was the first on the upside down. He's the first on off menu. I think the only way we get the rest of the cast involved, if it's anything like the show, is we do have to sort of kidnap will buyers. And then they come and look for us. We somehow record a podcast with them when they come to rescue him. Yeah. Yeah. They come into the off menu realm dimension to try and find him and we're like, pop it up some bread kids. Benito, the demogorgon. Yeah. That is what Benito looks like. Everyone's always asking this. What does Benito look like? He looks like a goddamn demogorgon who's woken up on the wrong side of the bed. That's what Benito looks like. Oh, he looks like a demogorgon on a bad day. No one I'm saying

the Benogorgon, the Benogorgon, the great Benogorgon. Oh, but now let's hear the off menu menu of Noah Schnapp. Welcome Noah to the dream restaurant. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I'm excited to be here. Here's what you need to know about that sound effect is that James is a genie waiter for this. Okay. That means you can get your food from wherever, from whenever, from your past, from your future, not for your future. No, you don't have to pick anything from their future to be fair. Very difficult to work out. Are you guys brothers or just friends? No, it's both from England. Just for doing. Yeah. Yeah. We look alike a little bit. I don't think anyone's ever said that before. Okay, maybe not. I

was just, maybe you don't look alike. We could be brothers. I think we both like how each other looks. Yeah, I think so. That's a compliment for both of us. I don't mind being compared to James. That would be awful if you said that and then one of us was really offended and the other one wasn't. Well, thank God you guys aren't ugly. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That would be really scary. Also, I mean, you know, I guess it's quite nice family run restaurants are good. So if this was like our own dream restaurant and we're like the brothers running it, that's quite nice. Two brothers. Two brothers running a restaurant. Well, good to know you're not brothers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's also at this point in

the traditional ordering process in a restaurant that we'd ask the guest about any film projects they've got up on coming. Yeah. You know how every restaurant you go to, the way you're always there. Hey, what's going on with your film career at the moment? Waiting for the food. Maybe you might have been waiting for something else lately. Yes, well, I have some stuff coming out. There's a movie waiting for Anya, which will be coming out soon this weekend, I think, and a movie Abe, which I did, which will be coming out soon. And then I filmed a movie this past summer with Adam Sandler, which will be coming out later. Wow. You've been very busy. Yeah. And then Stranger Things, I'll be starting filming soon. So what season are you

going to start from? Some four. So you haven't filmed season four? Not yet. So we'll start that in a few months. Very exciting. People always come up to you with their theories about what's going on in Stranger Things. Yeah. And I watch like YouTube videos of what people think. Yes. Some people are pretty close. Yeah. I've started watching that. I'm into like fan theory videos and I've started watching Stranger Things ones and there's some interesting theories. I mean, some of them, they're just like, wait, they overthink everything. Wait, if it was this time, the clock in the background said two o'clock. So there's two people that are going to die. Like some of them are crazy, but some of them are like pretty accurate. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

tell us a little bit about waiting for Anya as well. Yeah. I mean, this movie is like a, it's definitely a change of pace from Stranger Things. It's like a World War II film. I filmed it in France. It was really cool. It was kind of like in the middle of nowhere. And I play the main character Joe. And yeah, I had a lot of fun filming it. And you play a shepherd in the film, right? Yeah. And so you were, you were hanging out with the sheep? Yes. That was pretty cool. I really, I also like lived on a farm because it was so middle of nowhere. So I was like hearing sheep all night. It was, it was weird, but it was cool. So do I take it that we won't be hearing lamb on your menu because you're friends with sheep? No, no, I love like good lamb

chops. Yeah. So if anything here in the sheep at night made you hungry. Yeah, I might have gone in one. Yeah, yeah. Just go out there. It's a bit of raw lamb. Lovely stuff. But we always start out first of all with still or sparkling water? Definitely still. Definitely still. Yeah. I hate sparkling water. You hate it. My dad always gets it, but I think it's gross. Ah, now. I feel like it's very fancy. Like I'm not fancy like that. Sure. So is that the main thing? Yeah. It's not the taste thing. It's that you feel like it's like, who do you think you are? No, no, it's also like, it's so like, it's gross. Yeah. Do you guys like it? I would say that sometimes I like it. Like if I'm thirsty, I'm not going to like

gulp down some sparkling water. Sure. You don't want to do that. Yeah. It doesn't, although some people, it's more of like a thing to like sip on and be fancy to be seen and drinking it. Exactly. Yeah. But I don't need to be seen drinking that. I just want to quench my thirst. You want to gulp it down? Do you want to drink this cold water? Do you want it cold? Like really cold? No, actually, I like it like pretty just because if it's too cold, it like gives me a headache. I like just like a nice room temperature. You don't want to be drinking it too fast. But like a little cold. You're like a little cold. I'm like a little pick. Like a single ice cube? Yeah, that sounds good. It's a single cube. What was the food like in France? Well, where I was,

I was in the middle of nowhere. Right. So there was really nothing. But like in, I went to Paris for a weekend and they had a pretty nice food over there. Lovely. And then we went across the border to Spain and we had some food there and we went to this like Michelin star restaurant, which was really good. Oh, amazing. What'd you have there? I had steak, I think. It was a while ago. I don't remember what I was. Here you are saying you're not fancy and you're not having sparkling water. And then suddenly you're in Michelin star restaurant. I just popped over to Spain to Michelin star restaurant. Sometimes I like to be fancy. Yeah. That's okay. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Papa Dom's or bread? Papa Dom's or bread, Noah? Yeah. Papa Dom's or bread. Now, this is confused

a lot of our American guests. All of our American guests have been confused by this choice because Papa Dom's aren't necessarily as widespread a thing here. Yeah, they're not a thing here. But most people would probably change it up when they go abroad and like change the question. What is Papa Dom's or bread? Yeah. So Papa Dom's with an Indian meal quite often before the main food Indian food. Yeah. Yeah. You'd get like a crispy thing that you put like chutney on and stuff. So it's like a very light sort of crisp thing to start start the meal. So like when people put it on. Wait, is that like marmite or is that something new? Oh, yeah. That's different. I heard that was disgusting. That's completely different to my life. Some people love marmite. Millie said

that was like disgusting. Yeah, but like some people love it. Some people hate it. Which they really play on. That's the market. Millie's a hater. Millie's a hater. But I would be anti-million that I'd be like, actually, I love it. Really? Wait, what is it? Marmite is like, well, it's a yeast extract. It's a yeast extract. We're not making it sound good. But it's a spread that you put you put it on bread and toast and stuff, but black like tar. They invented it when it was like a byproduct from the brewing industry. So they'd make beer and then there'd be like this paste left at the bottom of it. I mean, I'm putting myself off it now. It's a very strong flavor. It sounds disgusting. Yeah, it does sound disgusting. I can see that, but it is nice. I would

never eat it. Maybe for you guys. But like, you know, maybe you should eat it and then you can go and say to Millie, I tried some of that marmite. You know, I should try it. Yeah, yeah. Actually, don't even eat it. Just the next time you see it, say, I had marmite. I love it. It was delicious. And just see how long you can keep it. See how it gets her. Yeah, she'll go and she'll go through the roof. She'll be making you float through the sky. And nose will be bleeding. It'll be awful. But basically, it's like, you know, when they bring them on the bread before the meal, what would you like? You can have the bread, the poppy-dums. Do you like bread? Yeah, I like nice, like warm bread. Like that's how I tell if like a restaurant is good, if the

bread is like warm and nice. And they bring like, and I like my bread with olive oil and vinegar. Lovely. Okay, good choice. Yeah, because that is a thing. Sometimes before the meal, if they bring it on the bed and it's cold, you kind of, your hopes for the meal start to sink a little bit. Yeah, it feels like, if it's like cold bread, it feels like I'm just like eating in my kitchen. But if it's like warm bread, I feel like, oh, this is nice. Yeah, they've done this just for me. Yeah. Like if it's cold bread, they've just slung it out. Exactly. Just threw it in the thing and said it's nice. Yeah, it's not. Yeah, you want, you want the nice, but no butter on this bread. Sometimes butter, it depends how I'm feeling. I'm usually not. But sometimes like a nice,

like in France, they have this amazing, like salty butter. Sometimes it's really good. Yeah. But then I guess, yeah, you might have in mind when you lived on a farm and had to milk the cows. That's true. The salty butter in France is amazing because it's just chunks of salt. That's so good. They do not care. They do not care about the salt content of anything. It's just huge lumps of salt. Yeah. And that's the way you want, I think if you're going to do butter, you've got to do it right and make it as unhealthy as possible. That's true. I mean, once it already is, like who cares? Yeah, exactly. You're having butter, just pour a load of salt in it. Yeah, yeah. Pour some salt in it. You might as well put sugar in

it. Yes. Make a cake out of it. Put chocolate on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the dream restaurant though. If you want to invent a new type of butter where we've got salt, sugar and chocolate in it. I will, I will definitely get back to you on that. So, we've come to your starter, your dream starter. This could be something, maybe you've had this, but have you had this before in a different restaurant or like, it could be from a specific place as well, we should clarify. Or again, one of your inventions. One of Noah's, Noah's Crackpot inventions. Yeah, well, I mean, I like, I like caprese, like a mozzarella with the tomato and I like soup, but not for tonight. No, no soup tonight. Maybe like, like I like

nice dishes like, like at Nobu, they have all these like sharing dishes. They're so good. Yeah, like they have, they have this like thin, there's not going to be a genre tonight. It's going to be a lot of different. Mix it up. But they have this like thin like fish with the, like thin white fish and like a, like a sauce with like jalapenos on top. It's like so good. It's like uncooked fish. So like ceviche, right? Like kind of not really. It's like on a platter and it's like a thin slice of like yellowtail fish with like jalapenos on it and like sauce and it's so good. That sounds amazing. And that's a very light start to the meal as well. Yeah, which I think is wise. That's what you're like. Or like crispy tuna. It's so good. Crispy tuna is good. So you definitely

want to fish starter on a fishy. Now, yeah, I feel like I'm in a sushi restaurant. Yeah, you want to start in the water. It's kind of like evolution. And then you might come out of the water afterwards. Yeah. Is the meal going to represent the, I mean, I guess we'll find out. It's slowly evolved. So nobody's like a favorite place for you. Well, yeah, it's really good. I've never been. So what's, what's it like? What? I've never been there. It's so good. No, I can't believe it. I can't believe I've never been there. It's like, I live in London. Yeah. There doesn't no boo in London. Is there? Yeah. What? No excuse on Barclay Street. Absolutely zero excuse. Have you been? I've been to no boo. Yes. But you don't like it. No, I like it. Absolutely. I hear you

used to raving about it. Yeah. Look, I was waiting, I was waiting for you to be, get over the shock of James never having been. I absolutely love it. Well, you should definitely try it out. The black, the black miso cod. The black miso cod. Oh, I've had that before. That is so good. It's so good. And that is the fanciest fish I think you could possibly get. Yeah. No boo's are very like fancy. Was that the raving you were hoping to hear? Yeah. Yeah. That was good, wasn't it? I saw it then it was like, okay, back in the good books. Yeah. Now I'm on his side. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. We'll go. Well, I'll take you to no boo. Thanks, man. It's all right. Oh, well, okay. Yeah, you come along. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we'll tell them we're brothers. We're all brothers.

Yeah. No, okay. Now that I see it, you don't look alike. No, no, no. Okay. You do got to look alike. We can pass from brothers. I don't think any of us look alike. You both have brown hair. Yeah. Look, I was, I was willing to go along with us looking alike, no. And then you really, we'll say we're all like, okay, well, back. We'll all be brothers that don't look alike. Can you do an English accent? Hello. That's no, you can't. No, I cannot. I would like some marmite. Yeah. I would like some marmite. Yeah. I like that. You sort of sound like you are English, but you've got some marmite in your mouth. Yeah. Maybe I'm like joking a little bit. Yeah. You're choking on the marmite because you hate it. Yeah. Eating too much marmite. I'll also spread it very

thinly, the marmite. If you do go in pretend to. Because it's so bad. Yeah. That's the sort of British way we know it's terrible, but we force ourselves. So why do people eat it? Well, it genuinely does taste nice to some people, myself included. But like if you have too much, it's too much of an over. It's a strong flavor. You need to balance it perfectly. Although I spread it pretty thick. I'm a thick spreader. It's a thick spreader. I'm a light spreader. You don't seem on board with it at all. But you need to, if you are going to pretend that you're eating marmite. The more you talk about it, the less I want it. Yeah. We're not making it sound good. And I think thick spreader and light spreader aren't really doing us any favors. No,

absolutely not. For an amount of phrases like that. Especially if you appreciate the delicate flavor of like a white fish in a sauce. I don't think marmite's going to be your sort of thing. It reminds me of like caviar. Like it's like an acquired tea. Yeah. I think so. Sure. Yeah. But like, yeah, it's like, it's cheaper than caviar. Yeah. Right, right. It's like the less fancy version of, it's like the opposite of the fancy scale. It's the Walmart caviar. It's the Walmart caviar. So you set it up nicely with some light fish. Okay. And you're using, did you choose the crispy tuna or the yellow fin? The crispy tuna. The crispy tuna. Okay. From Naibu, is that? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Lovely beginning.

So your main course. My main course. Okay. I mean, I really love like a good filet mignon, like, in the middle. So maybe we are doing this like evolution thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're on to the land. We're moving on to the land. It's like a surf and turf, but like not really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So like a surf and turf in increments, little stages. If we are doing, going along evolutionary terms, that means at the moment your dessert is going to be human. Which I'm slightly scared about, but we'll get there when we get there. A person for dessert. We won't get in the way of that. No, there'll be a real twist at the end of the episode if it turns out you're a cannibal though, Nora. Well, a chocolate human.

I'm drawing a chocolate human. I think it's a chocolate human. But so the filet mignon and I was with... Maybe like mashed potatoes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Some brussel sprouts. Uh-huh. The steak, I was waiting with baited breath because we've had other people pick steak before and they've picked it well done. No, that's gross. Good. Absolutely correct. Who picks well done? Crazy, right? There's people out there. They don't like... All the good juices. Yeah. Yeah. Awful people. I like it like, not obviously like black and blue, like I like it pink, but like more towards the less side. Yeah. Yeah. Like it can be a little tender and like it's good. Yeah, you don't want it. I mean, there is a point where like it gets to,

it might as well not be cooked and I don't like chewing it at all. I know. If it's like raw, that's gross. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like... I'm into that. Really? I mean, I've never tried it. Have you had steak tartare before? Yeah, I think so. Which is just straight up raw. Yeah, that's different though because they've cut it up all nice and you just get to it. Yeah, it's like not really. It's not like eating a piece of like meat. Yeah. Well, it is. It's just a different shape. But it's not like going to the grocery store and pulling it out and... Yeah. Yeah. Fair. I wouldn't do that. Oh, I might do it actually. You would do that. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be honest. As long as I was told it was safe, I'd probably march into a grocery store, whip the

packet open and just chow down on a whole raw steak. You would do it. But I find it too chewy. I don't get any flavor out of that. But yeah, that pink, just this pink and not too bloody. I look a little... I look like a bit of a... Blood. A little bit of blood. A little bit of seagull. But that's what the juices are now. Not too much. Yeah. Yeah. That's what those juices are that you would think you love so much. I don't need blood. I hate to break it to you. Some of those juices coming out of the steak. Well, I don't want it to look like blood. I don't want to know it's blood. We could dye it a different color for you in the dream restaurant if that would help. It sounds better. It could be blue blood or something. No, maybe like a non-colored one.

Okay. Just like a juice looking. Clear blood. Steak juice. Transparency. Okay. Not like water. Just whatever steak juice looks like. Like when you... Like brown, like a brownie kind of... Yeah. Brown is like poop. I don't know. Whatever normal color it is. You want poop in your steak? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying. With a little human. Yeah. Yeah. Marmite. Puddle together. Yeah. The perfect balance. Yeah. Is there a place where like is your favorite steak house you've been to? Steak restaurant? Maybe this mission to start a place you went to. But like... I don't know. I've had like... There's not a specific place, but I've had some pretty good steaks in like random places. Yeah. But no like steak house or anything.

Right. Do they cook you food like that? Like on set? If you're on set for a film or a TV show? Well, depends. I've been like... There was this one movie. It was called Bridge of Spies and it was Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and that was like... I had like the most amazing food I've ever had. It was like... They had like... At lunch, it was just like platters of like... You can go into different... It was like international cuisine with different like... There was big platters of lobster and steak and for dessert, big like wedding cakes. It was like crazy. Wedding cakes? Yeah. Like huge cakes. Like get a wedding cake. And then there's other things where it's like you just go to a food truck and you get like an egg sandwich. So there's like... Right. Sometimes you get lucky.

So what was Bridge of Spies? I'd imagine if you got Hanks on board, they're going high end for the food, right? Yeah. I think that's why. Yeah. Hanks has a bit of sway. I bet Hanks even had a secret room where there was like... More of a... Even better. Yeah. Is he as nice as he comes across? Yes. He's very nice. Well, you're tempted to... I'll be tempted to like... If I was like... I met Tom Hanks and he was like super nice and just like chatting to me for a while and was all nice. I'd like to go at the end. You're not so nice and then walk away. I mean, again, his head. What? This is why James doesn't get a lot of acting work. Yeah. Yeah. I'd go, you're nuts. I heard you were nice and then walk away and then see how much

wedding cake I get. But then you would go back. You can't just leave him like that. Yeah. Yeah. I'd have to go back and go. That was just a little experiment and then like apologize to it. Well, if someone did that to me, I'd be a little worried. Sure. Moon day to you. I think I saw Bridge of Spies before I saw Stranger Things. Yeah. So who are you in Bridge of Spies? Oh, I'm like... I played his son. I was in like a few scenes. Yeah. So at the dinner table? Yeah. Yeah. So there's those dinner table scenes of Hanks and he's like, I'm going to go and his wife's like, oh, don't go to them. Yeah. I don't remember. It was so long ago. I was like, I turned 10 on that set. Wow. And my dad took a video of me like Tom Hanks get bringing out cake to me. Oh,

Hanks brought out the cake and did you look at him and go, you're nuts. So nice. Yes. That's exactly what I said. It's great that your main memory of that appears to be the cake. Yeah. The whole shoot. Yeah, but I don't love cake. Do you not? I'm not a big cake fan. Did you tell Tom Hanks that when he bought it? No, I threw it in his face. Yeah. Said I don't want cake. This is not my favorite, Tom. Here's a question that people will be desperate for us to ask. What do you eat in the upside down? Oh, yeah. Bugs. I don't know. Whatever is there. I think that's what Will was eating all that time. Like snails. That sounds quite nice. Snails is nice. Snails prepared in the right way with a bit of garlic butter. No, not your

sort of thing because it would remind you of the upside down. Yeah, I don't know what to say about that. Text you back there. I'm trying to think. Maybe like worms. Anything that would then just crawl in and out. Basically anything grows. Yeah. Do you like hanging out in that? Like there's no like fancy steak in the upside down. Yeah, you're not getting that. You're not getting sparkling water. You're getting flat. If you do get steak, I imagine it's just completely, it's the raw kind of eat out the packet. Like you just have to. No, I think it's the animal. You just grab them. Oh, yeah. It's not even the raw kind. Yeah, like in us, when all the people who are living underground are eating the rabbits raw. Have you seen us

now? No. Well, don't see it now because he's spoiled. I don't want to see it. Eating the rabbits raw. Yeah, it's like rabbits just hopping around and then people are picking them up and just eating them. Do you not enjoy that sort of scary stuff? Eating raw rabbits? Yeah. No, not specifically that. I meant like horror films and stuff like that. Oh, no, I love horror films. You love horror films. Yeah. It's a very good horror film. Yeah. But people do eat a raw rabbit. Yeah, you don't see it. I mean, I would never do that. Maybe it's kind of a stop alive and eat it. Well, maybe one day. Yeah. Haven't done it yet. Tastes develop as you get older. Yeah, one day. Yeah, exactly. It's like marmite. Raw rabbit is like marmite. It might be for a roll.

Still liking it even less now. Yeah, you've now compared it to the raw rabbit. So your side? My side dish. Maybe like asparagus or something. Oh, yeah? Actually, no, I don't know. Did you say that because you wanted to seem healthy and then realize that you don't want asparagus? I don't know. I'm trying to think like what would be... There's a problem with asparagus. Yes. Which is two hours later, you piss stings. Oh, yeah. Explain that, Ed. I mean, it'd be awful if it... Stings or stings? Stings. Not stings. It shouldn't be stinging. No, no, no, no. That's not... That is something that imagine if I was the only person that this has happened to. Sting or stink? Stink. Oh, no, no, that. That happens, right? Because when I said it, when I said it, you all

stared at me. Mine always does. Okay, good. Oh, yeah? Because honestly, when I said it, you looked at me like, what the hell is this guy talking about? Yeah, which I was delighted about. Well, I don't really eat asparagus. Or I thought it made you like poop green or something. Does it? I thought that's what it did. I've never heard that before. There's like broccoli or something. I don't think any of it... Something did that to me. Beetroot makes it purple. Dust? Oh, now everyone's staring at me again. Beetroot makes your dumps purple. So that's the thing. What does Marma do? Oh, yeah, it's awful. It goes out the same way it went in, Marma. Yeah, you know, you can't have the difference. You just start spreading again.

I've got to say we've lasted way longer than we normally do before we become absolutely gross nervous. Wow, that's pretty impressive. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, we're on our best behavior. You know, you're a teenager. We don't want to be set the bad exam worse. So we try to be role models, but look at us now. Some people can't smell asparagus pee. I don't think that's true. Some people... What? So the thing is, for a long time, it was some people, if they eat asparagus, their pee smells. Other people, if they eat asparagus, their pee doesn't smell. Well, then they discovered what it is. It all smells, but some people can smell it and some people can't smell it. For me, it just always smells. Yeah. Your pee always smells or your asparagus

pee always smells. No, my regular pee. Sure. I'm never like smelling it and it's like... Heavenly. Yeah. Sure. I guess I see your point, but smells worse than usual after... I'll try it. Yeah, have some asparagus and then you go, oh, I see. I pee this morning, tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow night, I'll pee again and sniff, see which one's... And if you could publish your results online, that would be great as well. I'll make sure to do that. But you don't want asparagus as your side dish. No. I guess people in the past have had things like, I mean, fries, mac and cheese. I don't like fries. You don't like fries. No, I like fries, but not for this meal.

Okay, fair enough. Okay. When would you have fries then? We've leapt on that. Like, I don't know, like with a burger or something. Yeah. But not with a steak and like fancy. Okay. So we're going for a fancy meal? Yeah. So not a mac and cheese either. Well, mac and cheese is good when it has like the breadcrumbs. Many cheese. I like it with ketchup. It's so good with ketchup. Now, this is... So you went fancy and then we squirted ketchup all over the top of it. Okay. Well, maybe not for this meal. I won't do that.

No, you can do that if you like. I like it. You're a man of contradictions. Yes. Yeah. I mean, no one's watching. I'll put the ketchup on you. Yeah. Yeah. It's a butter. You could... Yeah. No one's judging you. I can't eat mac and cheese without ketchup. Okay. So without it, you have to have it on there. Yeah. Okay. So if you were to have mac and cheese as your side dish, we haven't officially made that. Because like, you know, I suggested that. I don't want to back you into a corner here. And plant the idea in your head. Yeah. So if you were to have mac and cheese, we could of course get you ketchup with that.

But which side dish would you like? I'll go with the mac and cheese. You go with the mac and cheese? Yeah. Okay. With the ketchup. Or maybe like sweet potatoes. Sweet potato fries. Sweet potato fries. The classier fry. Yeah. Yeah. Those are good. She would like absolutely not having fries with this. Actually, no. Those don't really go with this meal. Yeah. Okay. I'll go back to the mac and cheese. Would you like, here's what we can do for you. So you're a special guest.

We can bring you mac and cheese. And then when you dig down into it, you find out there's sweet potato fries on the bottom layer. Oh yeah. A little bed. Sounds good. Yeah. Maybe. You don't seem sure. It sounds good. Sounds interesting. So they're interested but not. Sounds like one of those fancy dishes that like chefs try to make all fancy. Yeah. Special ingredients and it's like gross. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you think it's gross. I don't have that. You know, when like a chef puts like, like a basic dish and then puts all this random

stuff in it and makes it like fancy, but it's not really good. Right. Yeah. Like a gourmet version of like a big mac or something. Yeah. Like if you have pancakes and they make it like spinach truffle pancakes and it's like not good. Yeah. Like I just wanted pancakes. Are you a fan of truffle as a flavor? No. I don't. Too much that. I'm over it. I used to like it. I used to think it was brilliant. Now. Yeah. Yeah. No, thank you. I think they actually do sell a truffle marmite if you're interested.

Yeah. That's worst of both worlds. Paradise. Have you just woken up in paradise now? I think the opposite. Yeah. So have we decided on mac and cheese with ketchup? Yeah. Excellent. Cheese with ketchup and bread and breadcrumbs on top. I just ketchup your favorite of all the condiments. Yeah, definitely. Ketchup goes on so many things.

Across the board. Eggs. Eggs. So good. And what else? Yeah. Let's continue this list. Sandwiches. Some sandwiches. Sandwiches. I don't even know. Fish. No. No. Fish and ketchup. That does not go together. Okay. Quick fire now. I'm going to name foods to you

and you say yes or no if you would have ketchup on. Okay. Okay. Ready? Here we go. Burger. Yeah. So off you go. Cereal. No. Already running out of ideas. Spaghetti. Spaghetti. Yeah. I used to eat that a lot. Pie. Pie depends on the pie. I'm not telling you what's in it until you answer.

You've just got to put the ketchup on or leave the ketchup off and then you find out what's in the pie. No. No. Then no. Good because it was a cherry pie and you would not have enjoyed it. That's terrible. Yeah. Pizza. Yeah. No, no, no. That sounds gross. Lasagna. Yeah.

It's good so far. Spaghetti with meatballs. Yeah. You've done spaghetti. I said spaghetti. Yeah. But I'm adding meatballs in it now. If you're coming up with a quick fire list. Yeah. You need to know what's going to be on the list before you say it because otherwise it's not quick fire.

I'll pick up at the top of my head. It's quick fire all over the place. You're also involved in the quick fire. Okay. Coca-Cola. Yeah. Yeah. You would put ketchup in Coca-Cola. I try it. You try it.

Okay. Yeah. That's fair. Adventurous. Ketchacola. Ketchacola. Yeah. What's Ketchacola? Oh my Ketchacola. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ketchacola. But baby. Coke up. Huh?

Coke up. No. That doesn't work. Ketchacola. Yeah. Yeah. Sausages. Yeah. I don't like sa. I had them once. I threw up and I never have them anymore. Sausages. Yeah.

You had sausages once and you threw up. Yeah. When I was younger. I love sausages. I do love sausages. It was like at home. It was like from the freezer. Oh, you didn't cook them? Well, I'm sure they were cooked.

I didn't cook them. I was young. That would be a reason for you to throw up afterwards if you just ate them like a big popsicle. Well, I had like a big stomach ache the whole night and then I just threw it up. So then I was like no more sausage. So now every time I see sausage, I just like throw up a little.

Yeah. Because to be fair as well, like sausages are very like, I think if you threw that up, there's a lot of things that I could throw up and I'd still be able to eat afterwards. But like, I think sausages, once you've seen them in vomit form, that's it. I mean, they already look like vomit form.

Yeah, they're already too close to. Sometimes it's good. Like some like a nice like spiced one like is good. Right. But in general, they make you think of vomit. Yeah. And so you wouldn't want to have them. No. Fair enough.

But ketchup, yes. Yeah. Yes. Roast chicken. Yeah. Put it on a roast chicken. Yeah, for sure. How about breaded chicken?

Every time I think you've run out of foods, you seem to pull another one out. Yeah. So I'm a man of men. I know so much about food. Let's know a lot about food and I'm able to find out all these dishes that know it. And you can tell me if you had ketchup on them or not.

I just love the idea of, you know, no, I've got a lot of interviews today. He's talking about this film that he's starring in. Yeah. Talking about, you know, all these different things he's doing. And then at the end of the day, he has to go. And then a man from England asked me, what foods I would put ketchup on or not?

Yeah. Oh, I mean, that's the most important. Like, why do you put ketchup on? Yeah, this is the most, this is the one that I was going to go home and tell everyone about. Yeah. It's true. The most memorable interview of the day.

One of my asparagus peas smelled like, yeah. They might have been brothers. They might not have been. Humans for dessert. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff. Marvel.

You've learned a lot about Marmite. Marmite throw up. Yeah. I think you, you have a YouTube channel, right? Yes. I think you, trying Marmite for the first time would go big, especially in Britain. But it's so like fast.

Like it would only be a minute and then what? Oh, no. I don't know. It's a lot of like, it's a build up to, you know, okay. Oh, but I hate videos like where it's like one thing. And then they spend like 20 minutes building it up. And then I have to like skip to the part I actually wanted to see. Sure.

Well, you could do loads of different British foods. You could do haggis. Do you know what that is? Oh God, here we go. It's all like, you don't want ketchup on this, mate. Let me tell you. What is that? It's like a, it's a Scottish dish.

Traditionally, it's like sort of innards. It's cow innards all minced up with oats. And they put it in a sheep's stomach and then boil it. Again, is that real? Yeah, that's real. Again, I like it. But it's really good. And black pudding.

You look horrified. That can't be real. That's real. That's going in the video as well. Ask MBB about it. Black pudding. What's it called? Haga?

Haggis. Haggis. Haggis. Black pudding, have you heard of that? I've heard of pudding. Well, this ain't your regular pudding, Noah. This is congealed pigs blood. No.

Yeah. Country is this. I feel like you're lying to me. No, honestly. Honestly, you can look it up after we finished recording. What does it even mean? It's like a hockey puck. It's sort of like a big sausage, really.

So you're already on rough ground. Yeah. But it's like, yeah, congealed pigs blood. Just blood? Yeah, but it's like solid and then you would fry it. People have it for breakfast. It looks like a hockey puck, but if you'd eat it and it was made of blood. It's a bloody puck.

I'm speechless. It's a bloody puck. I don't know who in their right mind would eat that. Ask Milly about all of this. I'm sure she doesn't eat it. I mean, sure she's not eating that. No, I'm sure she's not eating it. No, that's like Vikings eat that.

Yeah, it's kind of like Viking-y food. A lot of people in Britain haven't really gotten over the Viking era. I can tell. Yeah. We're really still into it food-wise. Have you eaten that? I love all of those things. No.

Yeah, I love haggis. You have haggis with mashed turnips and mashed potato and gravy all over it. It's delicious. I've had those things. I like haggis and I like marmite. I liked black pudding for a while. So because you guys have these like terrible foods, marmite like isn't that bad. Yeah, that's what it is.

You compare it to like all this crazy like blood and stomachs. Like, oh, it's just marmite. It's just ash. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And suddenly you'll be more open-minded and eat some marmite after you've eaten, yeah. Stomachs and dried blood and mashed up stomachs. Yeah.

Kind of alright. I get it now. Yeah, yeah. Some side down food. Yeah. It's all upside down food. That's what he would eat on the outside. Yeah, totally.

Yeah, he would eat haggis and black pudding. Your favorite drink now? We come to your favorite drink of the meal? Your dream drink? A water? I don't know. Oh, we're back on a water. I mean, for dinner,

usually I have water. Maybe for breakfast, I have like a smoothie or a juice. But dinner, like there's no like, I feel like there's no dinner drink unless I'm older and have like wine. Uh-huh. I'm sure because I guess most people we've had on this show would choose an alcoholic drink at this point.

Yeah. We've had some people choose non-alcoholic ones but not many. Like tea? Like iced tea we've had. Ice tea, that's not dinner. So for dinner, you'd always have water. It's like a fancy restaurant.

You don't have an iced tea. It's either like wine or... A scotch. But like I'm too young for that. Yeah. Yeah, don't start. You've never had any of those things? Uh, no.

You've never had alcohol? I mean, no. Yeah? Never. No, you've never done it? I mean, maybe I'll try it one day. Uh-huh. That's the best answer you could give.

Yeah, very smart. So would you have, would you have like a like a Diet Coke or something or a soda? And this doesn't have to be a fancy restaurant, by the way. This is your dream restaurant. No one's judging you. You can drink whatever you like.

It is a fancy restaurant. Oh, okay. Yes, because that's what you've established, yeah. It's very fancy. It's very fancy. They don't even have Diet Coke there. Yeah, okay. There's just the wine list.

That's all there is. But you shut that immediately and say... I mean, they'll give it to me though, because it's in like Europe and they won't care. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Okay. So even though you've never had wine before,

I'll try it now. Apparently. You try it now. You're going to try wine for this meal. Yes. So you're going to have a... This is the first time I think we've had someone order something that I've never had.

Having the first drink, yeah. So you're going to have... What do you want? A glass or a bottle? Definitely a bottle. Yeah. Yeah. Two bottles of wine.

Do you want one red, one white so you can taste the difference? Yeah. And rainbow. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you're mixing them. Yeah. Perfect.

Great. Yeah. Can you do that? No, I don't think it would be nice. Legally, yeah. Yeah, legally. Yeah, no, stop, yeah. But it wouldn't taste that great.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. That's a red and a white. Red and a white. Do you want a glass or juice or straws? No, no. No straws. This is a fancy restaurant. It's a fancy restaurant, I forgot.

I keep forgetting how fancy it is. One of those straws that goes... Twirly straws that goes round and round and round. Yeah, like the glasses. You can put them on there like glasses. Have you seen those? Yes, they don't allow that at our restaurant. They're banned.

You have to hand them in at the door. And there's a dress code at this restaurant. What are you wearing for the meal? A suit, a fancy suit. Fancy suit. What color? Just like a black, like classic suit. Oh, yeah.

You must have fancy suits now, right? So you've got to go to like awards, do some things. Yeah, yeah. But those are like fashion suits. Like this restaurant, it wouldn't be like a fashion show. It would just be like, you have to be dressed nice. So it's like a proper dress code, yeah. Okay, you and the other kids in Stranger Things

are all going into this fancy restaurant together. Who are you most worried about being not fancy and ruining the fancy vibe? You know, I think Gaten, he's like, he plays Dustin with the curly hair. I think I'm a bit a little worried for him. Yeah, he's going to clown around. Yeah.

He seems like a funny guy. I feel like he'd like forget that we have to dress nice. Sure. And then Millie would be like overdressed. Right. So like. Oh, so the dress code, there's you have to be dressed a certain way, but you can't overdress.

Yeah. There's like a window of how fancy it's supposed to look. It's like in the middle. Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. And there's a smart black suit. But you could wear nice sneakers with it as well.

Yeah. So your drink is a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine. Yes. Yes, perfect. Great. And so we arrive at your dessert. Okay.

It's my favorite of all the courses always. Of course. Ed not as keen, sometimes guests side with Ed on this. I'm crossing my fingers that. Look, I like a dessert. I just, he would skip to the dessert every time if he could. If it was socially acceptable, he'd go to a restaurant and order three desserts.

Well, there we go. Yeah, boy. Okay. So you don't like dessert? I do, I do like dessert, but I think I prefer savory stuff. I get that though. Yeah, I respect his decisions to a point, but lately. Yeah.

Life is for living. Am I right now? Yeah. Life is for living. Exactly. So your dream dessert, this is the big closer of the meal. It's one of your favorite courses. You're in a fancy place.

What are you going to go for? Definitely like a chocolate lava cake. Ah. Anything chocolate. I will not have cheesecake or like anything coffee. It has to be chocolate. It could be like a chocolate mousse, maybe a chocolate ice cream, but that's not that interesting.

So I'd stick with the chocolate lava cake. Chocolate lava cake. Like a really rich one. Yeah. With a little scoop of ice cream on the side or something. Like a vanilla ice cream. Yeah, yeah. With vanilla pods in it, like a pop of vanilla.

Yeah. Yeah, because this is fancy. Yeah, it's fancy place. And when you cut into it, is it how oozy is it? Because you want it to ooze, right? A little bit, but I don't like when it's too like the whole cake is water. I want something to eat. Okay.

So you almost want it cooked to the same level as your steak's been cooked. Yeah. You want a sort of medium lava cake. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, you would ask for me. With a nice vanilla ice cream. Yeah.

With like Madagascar vanilla. And now you've specified the vanilla. That's what we'd like to hear. Absolutely, that is a move I respect a lot. Whereas I like a rare lava cake. I'll even walk into a store and I'll just eat a bag of flour and a bar of chocolate. Yeah. I would not do that.

Just rip into it. Ed likes actual lava. Yeah. As well as eat that out of a, suck it out of a volcano. Straight away, love it. Goblin it up. I think that's an amazing choice. What else do people say?

People have said, you know, have a dessert, some absolutely horrendous people have said cheese and biscuits and those people can go straight to hell. But like, you know, we've had people say, you know, what, lemon tart. Lemon tart, yeah. No, cinnamon buns. Oh, no, it's not fancy. Cinnamon rolls or something. No, it's not fancy.

They won't get in this restaurant. That's for sure. We won't let them in. They can be outside, get in, can eat them outside on his own. Have you got security on the door to stop people coming here? There's going to be like another floor where you come in. Oh, amazing. And if you get into the restaurant, you go like up the stairs or down the stairs.

Yeah, yeah. Who have you got on the door? Like the rock or someone? Demi Gorgon. The rock. And like a nice suit. Yeah. Two guys with their hands like this.

Yeah. There's a dress code for them as well. And they have like glasses on and they're like fancy. And they have those little earpieces. Yeah. And maybe a Demi Gorgon in a suit as well, right? Maybe a Demi Gorgon. Maybe.

Well, maybe if you could get a whole suit on a Demi Gorgon, but you could probably get them to wear like a pair of like little underwear and like the collar and just the bow tie, like strippers wear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think like the Demi Gorgon would probably wear that. Yeah. Maybe. You could get that round its neck.

That's not fancy though, is it? Just the collar and the bow tie. Or Demi Gorgon and just a stripper outfit. Maybe you'd be like across the street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just looking at the strap club over there. Yeah, yeah. The Demi Gorgon could be over.

I wouldn't really want to see a Demi Gorgon stripper actually. Oh, God. Just to be alive then. No, it's not good. A bit scary. Yeah. Yeah. I went to the...

I mean, some people have their types. Yeah. I went to the Stranger Things Secret Cinema club thing. They're doing in London. And there was a Demi Gorgon there. And... Was he wearing underwear and a bow tie? Oh, you only saw him briefly.

The lights flashed on and my eyes didn't drift down, but I hope he has some underwear on. Yeah. I hope so too. Of course. Well, that's the point. We haven't asked that. We haven't asked what other cast members would like.

What's the Demi Gorgon like off camera? Nice? Actually quite nice. He's a little difficult. Yeah. Yeah. He really... The Demi Gorgon is like always needs his fancy food,

his bow tie, his underwear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he's been very polite there. I've been saying Demi Gorgon right, and he said Demi Gorgon right there. You've been saying Demi Gorgon, which is not scary, because that's only half a Demi Gorgon.

What? Oh, Demi Gorgon. Oh, yeah. It's Demi Gorgon. Same thing. No, Demi Gorgon would say half a Gorgon. Oh, no. It's half a Gorgon.

I'll hold my hands up. I've always thought it was Demi Gorgon. That's what I've always thought. No, no, no, I'm confused. I've watched all three seasons. I've been saying Demi Gorgon in my head when I hear people say it. Wait, is it Demi Gorgon?

Demi Gorgon, right? Dema. Demi. You should know, Noah. Demi. Oh, Gorgon. Whatever you say it is. Noah's reading the scripts and setting them on camera,

so I think Noah would know better than you, Ed. That's what I'm saying. I'm happy to... I don't even know now. Yeah. Well, we'll look it up afterwards, along with you're going to look up Haggis, Black Pudding and Marmite.

Maybe. Yeah, I mean, you're going to have an absolutely horrific search history at the end of this. Yeah. Everyone going through is going to be like, what is he looking at? Yeah, yeah, I've been worried

about Noah, everybody. I'm going to read your order back to you now, see how you feel about it. Okay. You would like still room temperature water with a single ice cube in it. Start off with, you would like warm bread with olive oil and vinegar.

Yes. And you would like the crispy tuna with jalapenos from Nobu. Your main course, you'd like a filet mignon steak, medium rare with mashed potatoes and Brussels. Yes. Your side dish, mac and cheese with ketchup. No sweet potato fries.

With the bread crumbs, yeah. With the bread crumbs on top of it, make sure it's crumbed. Drink, you would like two bottles of wine, one red and one white. Dessert, you would like chocolate lava cake with some Madagascar vanilla ice cream. Yes.

That is a solid menu. That sounds very nice. It's fancy. I would go to that restaurant. It'd be awful if we got to the end of this and you went, that sounds horrible. That's awful. Thank you very much for coming to the Dream Restaurant.

No, it was a pleasure to meet you. I had a great meal. Oh, glad to hear it. You're welcome back any time. Thank you so much. And there we have it. What a fancy menu. Fancy, fancy, fancy.

Super fancy, man. And what I liked about it is, yes, it was fancy. He came up with a dress code for the restaurant, which I don't think anyone's really done before. No, not enough people have done it. He had some people there with him dining. Yeah.

It was in a basement. Yeah, it was. It's a fancy restaurant. People on the door. Door men. He had door men. Yes, it was fancy, but he also still stayed true to his roots.

Ketchup on the Mac. Ketchup on the Mac, absolutely. Yeah. Ketchup all over the Mac. What I liked as well is that he said, no sparkling water, too fancy. I mean, everything else, this has to be fancy. He had a very sound rule.

Yes, lovely rule. And what he didn't say, despite the fact that you tried to push it on him, James. Yeah, I was trying to get him. This is, this is. It's going to be funny. This kid is in one of the best TV shows, right? It was so great to have him on.

So excited to have him on. And you were trying to get him kicked out of the restaurant by pushing truffle oil on him. I was in a rush. He was in a rush today. He had loads of stuff. I thought, do I want to do him a favor? If I chuck him out at the restaurant,

it'd be pretty funny if I'm like, and maybe some truffle oil. He goes, yeah, truffle oil. I go, get the fuck out of here, now, snap. I thought that would be amusing. It wouldn't have been a music if you'd screamed the F word at a 15-year-old's face. Yeah, well, it would have been pretty bad,

but he's already shook up because we had the Benny Gorgon working on here. He was looking over at that going, oh, no, this brings back my memory. Not again. No, not again. What is he doing here? This is even worse than the Demogorgon.

I can't believe they let the Benny Gorgon on. The Demogorgon used to moan about him to me. When I was in the upside down, the Demogorgon go, hey, kid, you in that treehouse? I'll be like, yeah, why? What have you got in store for me now, Demogorgon? I'm not gonna rag on you. I just have a little bit of time.

I just spoke to my cousin, Benny Gorgon. He's just saying to me, oh, he's working on this podcast. No, he's just winging it all the time. He doesn't like the nickname they've given him. Do you know what? Sometimes he just really wears me down. I know I meant to love him, his family's family, but do you know what I mean?

Do you have any family members like that, kid? Oh, I don't know. I got my mom worries about me quite a lot. Okay, but listen, I would actually welcome that over the Benny Gorgon because this guy, you have no idea how much he drains me. He's just like, ah, talk to him. He's like, ah, I want to edit that out of our conversation.

But I'm like, listen, Benny Gorgon, you can't edit out live. He's just, I'm your brother. I'm your cousin. I'm opening up to you here. Nearly, brother. There, wasn't it? Oh, some of them get confused. Us Demogorgons will look like like,

apart from the Benny Gorgon who looks very grumpy all the time. Anyway, kid, I'll see you later. I'm gonna terrorize you later on, but you gotta sleep. I gotta be honest. The Benny Gorgons just looking quite tired now. Yeah, Benny Gorgon really thumbing. Pretty angry and tired. Shaking his head.

He zoned out so much during that. He zoned out during that. That was about four and a half minutes. Have a little listen back to it. Yeah, so thank you very much for listening. He didn't say truffle oil, luckily. Yeah, I mean lucky. It was lovely to have a chat with him.

It was a good menu. And obviously what a strange thing, but you're all watching that anyway. His film, Waiting for Anya, comes out on Friday and UK cinemas. And he also mentioned a couple of other films there. Someone, he's done one with Adam Sandler. He's done one called Abe.

Keep looking out for those. Keep your eyes peeled for all of them. Also, we've got loads more New York episodes coming up and LA episodes also. Our American trip is not done yet. You won't just give you one little episode. There's gonna be so much more. It's basically like snapshots of our holiday.

Little snapshots of our holiday. Okay, bye. Bye. Hello, it's me, Amy Glendale. You might remember me from the best ever episode of Off Menu, where I spoke to my mum and asked her about seaweed on mashed potato. And our relationship's never been the same since.

And I am joined by me, Ian Smith. I would probably go bread. I'm not gonna spoil in case. Get him on, James and Ed. But we're here, sneak peeking. We're here, we're here. We're here, we're here. We're here, we're here.

We're here, we're here. Sneaking in to your podcast experience to tell you about a new podcast that we're doing. It's called Northern News. It's about all the news stories that we've missed out from the North because, look, we're two Northerners, sure. But we've been living in London for a long time.

The news stories are funny. Quite a lot of them crimes. It's all kicking off. And that's a new podcast called Northern News. We'd love you to listen to. Maybe we'll get my mum on. Get Glendale's mum on every episode. That's Northern News.

When's it out, Ian? It's already out now, Amy! Is it? Yeah, get listening. There's probably a backlog. You've left it so late.
