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? Welcome to the Off Menu podcast, taking the warm rice of conversation, the raw fish of anecdotes. Putting that on that, that sushi. Yeah. Yeah. But that's a good metaphor for what we're doing today.

Football Ramble, Help Us Exit My Boss, My Dad Wrote A Porno, The Guilty Feminist, Nobody Panic, Cuddle Club, and even more than that. Wow. I'm looking forward to seeing who's mashing up with who as well. That's going to be interesting. Interesting. Is My Dad Wrote A Porno going to mashup with The Guilty Feminist?

I hope so. I hope that is the mashup. The Guilty Porno. I hope The Guilty Porno, The Guilty Dad Wrote A Feminist Porno. Yeah. The Guilty Dad Wrote A Feminist Porno. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be great. Yeah. I'd love that.

I would like to petition that being made a permanent podcast, not just a one-off. Please, please, please. But we're very, very happy to be speaking to Brett today, doing menus to be buried with. Yeah. Again, we're following his format, really. Yeah. Which is, you know, not a good format. And so it is, we're really putting our livelihoods and our reputations in his hands here. Our lives on the line. Our lives on the line. And, you know, just trusting him. He's a good guy. Yeah.

True professional. So I'm sure he's got an Emmy now. So I'm sure it'll be great. He's got an Emmy. Let's not forget that. Yeah. Because we haven't had a friend win an Emmy before.

Visit comicrelief.com forward slash podcast mashup. But without further ado, shall we do it, James? Very well, Red. Thank you. Let's do it. Mashup. Mashup. Hello and welcome to Menus To Be Buried With, The Resurrection. It is I, Brett Goldstein,

and I am joined back here in aid of comic relief by actors, stand-ups, writers, podcasters, search people, fashion models and scholars. Please welcome to the show, it's only Pead Lambeau's and the Genie. Lovely. It's always lovely to see the order that you lead. You led with actors this time, which was great and ended in scholars. Thank you. Both wonderful actors, but obviously I put them in order of importance. Welcome back to the show. It's lovely to see you both. How are you? Let's start with Ed.

Very well. Thank you, Brett. I'm good. It's lovely to see you. We're doing this on Zoom, of course, myself and James in the same room. You're not here even though you're probably what, 20-minute cab ride away? I'd say less. Yeah. He's a big shot. Yeah, I can't be in the same room as people anymore. It's sort of one of my things in my ride. It does make filming difficult, but you'll notice all of my stuff is now just

close-ups. Yeah, the next series of Ted Lasso is going to be an absolute nightmare, isn't it? It suddenly cuts to you and you're just on a beach somewhere, even though it's a scene filmed in a dressing room, changing room. I don't really understand football. No. The Genie. How are you? Good. How are you? Good, thanks. Happy Comic Relief. This time of year, again, it's our favourite time

of the year. If you want to donate, I mean, you really should. It's a native Comic Relief. This is one of the A-Cast podcast mash-ups. Mash-ups. Now, last time you were on the podcast, The Genie, you had a renowned stand-up for good. Yeah. I never do stand-up and I've never been happier. Yeah. How are you now? I think it's a year later.

Ah. Don't feel that way? Yeah, way happier, but I have booked in some gigs. I knew you. I knew it. I knew you'd crack. Pathetic. Pathetic announcement to make. Oh, I'm never doing stand-up. I knew you'd come crawling back. Not as pathetic as winning an Emmy and then going and doing a half-full pub gig for no reason that you'd have to. I'd say that's more pathetic. Yeah. That's worrying, I'd say, Brett.

I'd say more pathetic. I will never leave stand-up. I will never leave shit stand-up gigs. Thank you very much. You're both pathetic. Yeah. But in different ways. Yes. James said he'd never leave stand-up and he's come crawling back and you should have left stand-up.

Yeah. You don't think you deserve a nice life, Brett? You have to keep punishing yourself? I feel that, yeah. And also because I think you're in danger if you're doing like Hollywood acting jobs. You're in danger of being treated like, you know, oh, sir, oh, after you, sir. So sometimes you have to go and do a gig so that you can have a room full of 100 people calling you a camp just to... No, not at all. No, after you, sir, sounds so lovely. You know how much I'd love a bit of after you, sir.

Oh, I don't deserve this. I won't. Don't call me. I'd say, sir, to me. Oh, God, oh, God, please. That's the last I would say. He would say, you know what there, Roy? Sometimes you're just going to be kind to yourself. That's what I always used to say. And I miss my daddy. It's really good. Yeah. Wow. I thought we'd just cut to a clip then. That was amazing. That was quite good, actually.

It was quite good. Listen, I said you were an actor. James Acosta. So by the same rationale, if we were to invert it, there you are actually looking after your mental health and your self-respect and your self-esteem. You've done that for two years. And then what? You've suddenly decided you're too good for happiness and you need to crawl back to stand up and get punished again? Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah.

You got bored of feeling good about yourself? No, no, no. I was like, oh, I should probably start working again. You know, probably can't continue to just do nothing. So you should probably start working again. What's this, then? Huh? We've been doing this the whole time. This is work. I don't get paid for this.

Oh, yeah. Benito says, just you get paid. Benito always takes me on one side. He said, there's a reason it's called the talent, James. And that's not you. That's Ed. And Ed gets some money. No, Ed's been very clear about making sure he gets paid for this charity podcast. Have you done your first gig back yet? No, not yet. Got any tips? You hardened road warrior? You got some tips for me? Just remember, it's not about you.

Yes. All right. Yeah. It's their night. It's about the team and it's about hope and kindness. Believe. I believe. They're not there for your opinions, for your thoughts.

Yeah. They just want to hear some dick jokes. Yeah. All right, that's my advice. So don't want your unique take on anything. That's good advice. Elephant in the room. I've never stopped doing stand-up and I've really stuck to my guns.

Yeah. How's your tour going, Ed? It's pretty good, man. I'm only four dates in, as we speak, and I've enjoyed all of them. Yeah. Which is, I mean, that's rare. Normally one in four I'm angry about. So you've got to think there's an absolute stinker on the way. How often on a tour show is it, like, bad?

I mean, I'm not talking to James, obviously, all of his. But when you're a comedian that isn't, you know, going to turn on the audience and destroy them for braving weird. You know, when you're a comedian who respects his audience. Yeah. How often have you had, like, a bad tour show? I think it doesn't tend to be bad ones. It's just, like, you're used to a certain level of excitement

or engagement, and then it just might be a slightly quieter audience. And you know what you don't do? You don't mention it. They've turned up. They're lovely people. Just because they're not laughing as loud as the last audience. They've paid their money. They're there for a night out. You're there to entertain them, and you've got to slap a smile and you've got to get through because you're a professional.

Yeah. I agree. Really? Okay. I've got three million tweets here that seem to disagree. No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that I'll do it. But he's right.

He's right. That's what you should do. Lead Pamble, you have been brought back to life. You have been given a second chance. But what point in your life will you come back to? What would you change? Any regrets, et cetera? Same for you, the genie. Now, Brett, I'm just slightly confused about the sort of backstory here now as well,

because obviously we've both done films to be buried with where we die. Then we've both separately done films to be buried with the resurrection where we've been brought back to life. And now we seem to both be dead again. What happened? Well, you died again when you did menus to be buried with. Yeah.

Last con relief. So now you've currently been dead. Now you're brought back to life for more menus. Just checking to staying across it. The format is flawless, isn't it? I don't see any other questions that should be coming up about it. OK, go on.

Oh, man, the series two backlash has already begun. On menus to be buried with. Should we say what meal would we be brought back to in our lives? Just to sort of add the off menu flavour to it? It's sort of not a mash-up at the moment, is it? You're sort of just doing your part. Mash it up. OK, yeah, yeah. No, you're absolutely right.

We should have discussed this beforehand. What meal will you come back to? Any meals you regret, led and also the genie? Probably the first time I had fondue. Oh. Blew my mind, Brett. Oh, you just want to re-experience it. You don't want to change anything.

Just the first time I had fondue, I was in Switzerland. It was a fondue night. It was cheese fondue to start, meat fondue for seconds, and then chocolate fondue for dessert. And it's probably the best meal I've ever had in my life. Wow, that does sound amazing. I mean, as you know, I don't eat anything that you would consider pleasurable.

But if I did, I mean, fondue is the gold standard of, like, if I ate, oh, I'd eat that. You weren't just eating pockets full of carrot shavings or whatever you did. Yeah, I love it. What are you having these days, Brett? What's your Hollywood diet? Air and, like, and good vibes.

What about you, the genie? What meal would you be brought back to? Probably the same one as Ed. That sounds great. I mean, yeah, I'd like to just come back to a meal that I haven't had before, but someone else said it was brilliant. So I'd go back to that fondue meal and I'd join in with the fondue.

Who else was there that night, Ed? My dad was there. I was on holiday with my dad. I'd get on with him. My step-mom was there. I think my half-brother wasn't born yet, but my half-sister was there. Brilliant. I'd fit right in. Do you think they'd be pleased

that the addition of Jane's just showing up? I think we'd all be confused, depending on how many memories I have from before when I was resurrected. Am I sort of back in my own mind, or do I know everything that happened after? Well, how old are you at this point in this story? Probably 12, 13.

Yeah, you're still 12. But James comes at the age of years now. Oh, right. I'd be absolutely baffled. I'd be like, who's this wonky man turning up? Let's start with bedroom pambles. Bedroom. Oh, yeah, you've been brought back to life to talk about meals and whatnot.

People, they're dead excited to see you, but they want to know more about your food taste, and they want to know about your life through food. Why do you tell the whole story around it? Why don't you just do the questions? It's mad. I'm trying to give it some fucking atmosphere, mate. I'm trying to give it, like, oh, it's a magical world

we're creating for comic relief. But it kind of creates more questions than it answers. It's like, at the end of us, when it was the government put them under, they're like, hold on a second, they've got more questions than before about these underground people. Yes, and then you're still thinking about it forever.

Listen, this is for comic relief. We want to be in their brains forever, so they just keep, every time they think, hang on, I've got another question, they donate. Oh, yeah. Donate per question. Is that how it works? Every time, that's a good rule.

Every time you listen to this podcast and you're thinking, hang on, I'm not sure that makes any sense. Format-wise, I've got a couple of questions. 7-0-2-1-0, text costs your donation amount plus your standard network message charge and 100% of your donation will go to Comic Relief, a registered charity.

And I do have to read that out every time we mention the donation. Oh, you read that out, I thought you were improvising. Bedroom Padmills, what was the last meal you ate?

The last meal I ate was breakfast this morning. What was it? Two fried eggs, two rushes of bacon and two little pieces of gluten-free toast. Made yourself? Yes, made by myself, absolutely. I regularly have bacon and eggs of the morning,

fills me up, keeps me going, lots of protein. What do you use as oil? Depends what sort of mood I'm in. You could host off menu, this is great. Scary, isn't it? How easy it is. When it said what oil do you use, that's a good question.

Yeah, that's really good. I used sunflower oil on this occasion, but if I'm feeling a bit leaner, sometimes I'll use a spray to make sure I don't use much oil. But today I thought, hey, we're making nice fried eggs, we'll use a bit of sunflower oil. My go-to is olive oil, is that wrong?

Yeah, it's wrong for frying things, I'd say. Yeah, fair enough. Because the heating point isn't as high, so it can't get as hot without the flavour changing. So the sunflower oil and vegetable oils will burn hotter and get to that point faster. But I'm very, very bad for you.

I don't know why. No more than any other oil, I don't think. But of course I use coconut oil. Of course you do, which is terrible for you. Yes! Yeah, you and Tom Cruise have been coconut oil all over each other. Which is very high in fat, Brett.

I'm surprised to hear that. I'm going to go for a wee, you can keep talking, though. It's your turn now. In case we've done one of these already, so people know what to expect. Yeah, people know this is the gist. Do you want to answer for him? You probably know what you asked for.

When I came in, I think James was having some poke, wasn't he? Yeah, the last meal James ate was a bowl of poke from around the corner. I'm going to call it off-menu towers, but Benito would probably call it something different, like the offices of his production company that does other things other than off-menu. But I'm going to call it off-menu towers.

And he bought some poke, which you must know about, because you live in California a lot, right? Love it. Do you? What's your favourite? Salmon, tuna, soy sauce, seaweed, flakes of some sort.

Corn, mango. I don't normally have mine with... Chocolate sauce. Whatever, just chuck it all in. Chuck it all on. Coconut oils, thank you. Pedigree rambles.

We're going to keep going. I don't want to be late for my pub gig. Which food do you think should play you in the meal of your life? Oh, hang on. So, in the meal of my life, what food should play me?

What food should play you in the meal of your life? OK, but you know... I answered your first one for you. What was it? Poke. Barroom sandals. What food do you think should play you in the meal of your life?

You've asked that a few times now, and I just think changing the second film to meal makes it way more confusing than it needs to be. Just answer the question. It's a very clear question. I'll ask it one more time, but I don't know how it can be any clearer. Which food do you think

would play you in the meal of your life? All right, yeah, chips. Chips, right, thank you. The genie. They'll push him on one. I think it's pretty clear. He looks like a chip. I look like a chip. I look like a lovely French fry, don't I? A salty French fry. It's a little bit salty.

A little bit salty. People love him. He's mainstream. No one doesn't like a chip. You can do things with the chip. You can make it bigger, you can make it smaller, like he has done. You can do anything you like with a chip, but no one doesn't like a chip.

What film should play you in the meal of your life, the genie? The meal of my life is what I've answered. A cheese string. Excellent answer. We are a chip and a cheese string, aren't we? Yeah, I think very cheese stringy. It's absolutely right. You look similar if you stood next to each other,

but one of you can very easily be stripped apart and full to pieces. Yeah, I mean, he's got me. He's got me there. He's got me there. I can't come back against that. He's got me. Now a serious one for that.

I'm going to start with the genie here, because I know you're all about love. What's the most romantic meal you've ever had, the genie? Josh Whitaker and I used to go when we were... Right, that's not how anyone expected that to start. Well, when we were open spots, we both lived near Manor House and there was a place there where we'd go

and have food after trying to write comedy in the day. And Josh would never get dessert. I would sometimes order a dessert. And once I ordered just a little bowl of ice cream, and they brought two spoons over, and it was very romantic the way they laid it down between us. And I think every time I've ever done anything like that,

like ordered something just for myself, but then they bring it over with two spoons because you're with one person, it instantly becomes quite a romantic setting and a romantic feeling. And I think that's even meals I've gone to that are intentionally romantic never feel as romantic as that unexpected romance

of the two spoons. That's a really lovely answer. You would have been livid about that two spoons though, wouldn't you? I can't imagine trying to share a dessert. I would have been livid if I was with anyone who would take up, you know, Josh wasn't ever going to try that ice cream. No, I was like, I'm safe here, it's fine.

If you're with me, we'd have to divide it straight away. And that kills the romance. So I can't, for instance, with my actual wife, we can't do that because she has taken up a new thing, which is you cut I'll choose. Wow, you cut I'll choose. If we get a small plate of something

and there's like, you know, and we want to share it, it's not like both get a fork or both get a spoon. It's immediately, the person who cuts it in half is not the person who gets to choose. It's basically what they do in big families. Here's a question for you.

Have you ever been to Ping Pong? I love Ping Pong, I'm all about it. Yeah, I went there two days ago. I went to Ping Pong after seeing Jack has to move. I went to see Jack has forever and then I went to Ping Pong. And that couldn't sound more like you're in 2003. Well, you went and see Jack has the movie

and then you went to Ping Pong. I'm in 2022 and it was the best Jack has they've ever done. The new blood was great. I love the new people they brought into it. It was brilliant. Wonderful. Here's the question. You go Ping Pong with two people, you and your wife,

and they bring out the dim sum and you lift up the thing and there's free. There's always free. What do you do? We're a trouble now. We've brought someone new into our relationship because we want to go to Ping Pong more. I'll tell you what. You need to pick your battles.

There's a char sui bun situation. There's three char sui buns. I personally only really want one char sui bun. I think they're a little bit too ready. You don't get enough filling a lot of the time. I'm having one and I'm graciously saying, please have the other char sui bun. You look like a hero.

I know there's shumai coming up so I know when there's three there, her guilt will kick in and she'll say, why don't you have two of the shumai because I had two of the char sui buns. It's all tactics you need to work out before you sign on the dotted line and get married, I'd say. I'll tell you what, I did.

This is how we got around it because my girlfriend and I went to see Jack has forever and then we went to Ping Pong afterwards. I'll tell you how we got around the free dumplings thing. You bring Stuart Laws with you. Very nice. Yeah, good shout.

He's available for that to anyone, right? Yeah, if you ever are going Ping Pong, just the two of you, bring Stuart Laws along with you. Cedric Bamboz, the most romantic meal you've ever had? I think I mentioned one meal we had in Japan and the last time we had this. Yeah, you did. But that was the most sort of romantic setup,

but actually the most romantic meal on that whole trip was an amazing trip, was one we didn't expect to have where we just grabbed a really nice sandwich from a convenience store. All the sandwiches are incredible in Japan. We got them from the 7-Elevens and then we were going over to an island to stay on this little island

and it was pissing it down with rain and we got into this ferry and just ate this sandwich and the rain was just beaten down on the window and it was all steamed up and it was fantastic. Titanic. I wiped my hand down the window

and I was like, ooh, like Titanic. Catsu sauce all the way down the window. Then I turned around and she'd gone. There's only two bits on this sandwich, Jim. I'm so sorry, you're going to have to fly home. Got really mixed up. One last question on the romantic meal for the genie.

I'm just sort of slightly weirded out by the story. At first it sounded really romantic, but then I realised that your romance is two spoons arrive, which is a romantic idea, but you're happy because the other person ain't touching that spoon. So then you're just eating your dessert whilst the spoon sits.

You're just staring at the person with you whilst you eat all of it. Yeah. I mean, that's romantic, I think, is that you realise that restaurants that work the best are when you're not both the same as each other. So one if you like a dessert,

the other person not. That's how you know you're in a real romantic setting, is when you eat all the dessert yourself. OK, that says an awful lot. Cedric Lambos. What is the best meal you have ever had that you never want to have again? And why?

I think there's certain meals that are so impressive and take you by surprise. Surprise is such a big part of it, right, that you wouldn't want to have it every day or you wouldn't want to go back for it again. So me and James have both been to Noma in Copenhagen, which is incredible. You don't know what you're going to get when you go in there.

They just bring out all these amazing little fine dining dishes, and it's always such a surprise when they describe to you ingredients you've never heard of. I can imagine if you went back and it was exactly the same, I ate a duck's brain out of a duck's skull. Oh, my God.

Edward. And then they banned him from the restaurant. LAUGHTER And I liked it. I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the experience of it, and it made me feel big and tough, but I would not like that ever again anywhere else. I'm never going to order a duck's brain.

Did you have to, like, hold the beak while you scooped out the brain? You could do. I chose to do that, sure. It's a very disturbing photo that they sent me. Gee whiz. And it does just look like a taxidermy duck on a plate, and it was pretty mad. What about you, the genie?

Best meal I've had that I'd never have again. The chickwitch sandwich from the Norfampton College canteen. I had them all the time when I was in my two years at Norfampton College doing my B-tech and music practice. And it was just, you know, two pieces of bread,

not very good lettuce, mayonnaise, and a chickwitch. I guess the actual thing in the middle isn't a chickwitch. The whole thing as a whole is a chickwitch, but, you know, we're talking this very standard, deep fried chicken. Tell me, I think all witches are chicks, aren't they? Yeah, all witches are chicks. Very good.

Very good stuff. I think it's a warlock if it's a lad. Yeah. Yeah, I used to love it. Never ever want to eat it again, ever. Easily never want to eat that again. But I used to be really excited about it going into college and thinking about my chickwitch.

I can't wait to have the chickwitch. It was a period of my life where, look at it, late teens, suddenly I'm a bit more in charge of what I eat every day. I had to eat healthy growing up because my mum was into healthy food. Good honour. Oh, I'm so sorry.

But I was always like, ah, a dream of unhealthy food. And then I had this window where I was just like, I used to eat chickwitches all the time. And now, I'm like, I'd never want to eat that again. It's disgusting. That's wonderful. If you're listening at home and you want a chickwitch,

The genie. Well, mine, Ed, Ed was at this meal. Yeah. Slippy Jennies. What do you think? Slippy Jennies? Yeah, remember Slippy Jennies? Tell us about Slippy Jennies. I think it was called Slippy Jennies. So it wasn't...

The official name wasn't Slippy Jennies. The official name was just Jennies or Zoe's or something. I can't remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was in New York, and it was empty, and we went in for some lunch, a little cafe, and there was a lady on her own working, and there was four of us, no one else in the restaurant,

but she clearly was like, oh, man, I've really got to get them their food pronto, even though we weren't in a rush, and she went to get us our orders, and when we heard her running from the kitchen down this corridor, but legging it, and then we heard her lose control during the run,

and then she just staggered into the restaurant, holding the tray that was outstretched, trying to balance it while clearly losing her balance, and then just fell behind the counter. Really over the top. She probably disappeared. It was great. It just slipped all over the place, but there was nothing to slip over,

and then she just got back up again and then served us our food, and every time we walked past it, the lady fell over. You can tell someone's really hurt themselves because they get up too quickly afterwards. There was no moment. She was down and up straight away,

and you're like, oh, God, it was so awful. I mean, it was great. It was action. That's the most action-packed meal I've ever had. That's a very good answer. Is that the same for you, said? I had a turkey leg at Universal Studios and then went straight on the Jurassic Park ride.

Oh, wow. At those parks in Florida. They're so good, legit good. Wow. When I went there, Ed told me. You've got to get the turkey leg. I got it, and I was like, he was not lying. This is the greatest.

Were you eating the turkey leg whilst on the ride, like going amongst dinosaurs? In my mind, I was, but I'm not sure they let you on the ride with a turkey leg. I think I had to finish it off fully. Maybe I was in the queue and then straight on. You can't come either.

Yeah, I was too short to ride it, but I held the turkey leg above my head and that's what squeaked me on. Would you be allowed to eat a deep-fried turkey leg, Bradley? Yeah, that sounds great. I'd have a turkey leg. But are you allowed to? By Apple, no.

You can only eat apples? Yeah. Yeah, you can only eat apples. But they're very nice. There's lots of different apples. Cox and there's Grady Smith. And there's the two apples and you can mix them up.

Can you say that in the voice of Roy Kent or list all the apples in the voice of Roy Kent? Cox. Pink Lady. Jazz. Royal Gala. Royal Gala. Golden Delicious.

Red Apples. Greyburn. Greyburn. I mean, that's... I know you've written the next series already, but it's a nice little new character trait for Roy that he loves apples and those all the varieties. It's not bad, actually.

Yeah. Of all the meals in the world, if you had to, which meal do you think you could have made and why? The genie. Weirdly, I have chose a meal from a film, actually, that I look at and think I could make that

and it would be delicious. Is the ice cream sundae from Home Alone 2 that he has in the hotel. Lovely, lovely answer. I could make it and it would taste amazing. Obviously, a lot of like ice cream sundae dishes, banana splits and stuff, I'm pretty sure. I don't know if there even is.

Maybe he's got bananas in that ice cream sundae. I can't remember now. Although the way he eats it isn't as nice as I remember. As a kid, I remember seeing him eating it thinking that looks delicious. I don't like the way he's eating it. He kind of is like... Can you show me visually?

Well, he's lifting a spoon up. He's got a massive bit of semi-melted ice cream that looks incredible. He doesn't do what most kids would do his age. What I would want to do now as an adult, which is just put it in your mouth and just get as much as possible. He kind of just runs his lips along it

in a rather... Because he's trying not to eat that much, because he's acting. I know he's a kid. He's Macaulay Culkin, so he's thinking like a proper actor. He's not thinking like a little kid who's getting to eat a load of ice cream. He's contractually not allowed to get bigger

during the filming of Home Alone 2. Yeah, so it's like just a bit too... The ice cream that's left on the spoon is just quite spit-infused. What would you do, Brad, if you were in a film where you had to eat a big ice cream sundae and you wanted to do good acting like you were properly eating it?

I'd have a word with the writers and go, yeah. Or he's eating a carrot. Yeah, he really loves seeds. He's just finished and I'd be like, oh, what a lovely ice cream that was. Bit all round your mouth. Just worried that it's going to drip in. Afterward scrubbing your face.

Don't get in through my pores. What's your answer, lederic bambles? Anything really gross and unhealthy, I'm like, I could put that together. I think I've got the brain to come up with some unhealthy stuff. You know, on man versus food and stuff, where you see a burger where the bun

is two grilled cheese sandwiches? I'd say I'm always an hour away from doing that in my life. I'm like, I'm just going to go and get the ingredients and I'm going to make two grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm going to get the barbecue going. I'm going to make a burger. We're going to have a bacon and double bacon cheese burger.

And instead of the bun, it's going to be grilled cheese sandwiches and there's going to be deep fried pickles on it. Can I speak on behalf of the listeners and say, can you please do that for comic relief and film it and put it online? No, I can, but I've got previous to saying I'll film things and they're not doing it. Have you filmed things and not done it for charity, though?

No, that's true, actually. If Ed does that, please donate to Relief Hat. No, we're not doing that again. We're not doing it again. Here's the deal. I'll do it for charity, but you've got to eat a bite of it, Brett. Yeah, one bite.

One bite. Do you agree to it too quickly? It should be, you should have to eat the whole thing. No way. We can share it. I'll cut you choose. Half and half. No, I'll cut I choose. Yeah, that's why it works.

This is the good sister. OK, I get to bring Stuart Laws. What is the food you have pretended to like to impress people, saidable bambles? The thing is with me is I do try and like everything, but there's got to be something I've not enjoyed and I've just sort of nodded along. It's more with drinks and stuff, you know.

It'll more be like a wine or something where everyone's saying it's really nice and I'm like, yeah, that's delicious. But I think I'm so thick I can convince my own brain into thinking it's nice. I think if I really tell myself I'm enjoying something, I can completely trick my own senses. That's a lovely gift.

Big ol' thicko. Sounds like you're very psychologically healthy. No courage of conviction whatsoever. Oh, yes. No opinions you could really call your own, but a lovely way to live. Not bad, just drifting through life, trying not to read books.

What food have you pretended to like to impress people, the genie? Wine is a very good shout. Most wines I don't really like. We had all that wine. It was delicious. I liked that. And what was good about that, actually,

about that lunch is it did make me go, oh, I do like wine and this is really delicious. And maybe I don't need to pretend that I like other wines that, you know, when people give me, oh, this is a really great wine, James. They tell me it's great and I have a mouthful and think it just tastes like every other glass of wine I've had.

But I've got to go, oh, yeah. Yeah, that's good, actually. Whereas this one, I thought that lunch was too and I was like, they own this big wine shop and like they're proper into wines, these guys. And I'm really going to have to black it, but they're going to be able to see through me

and oh, this is going to be a nightmare. And I was so relieved when we had each glass of wine was the best glass of wine I've ever had and it really did taste great and I wasn't having to pretend of massive relief because I thought that was going to be a huge day of pretending and just going for the experience of like

this nice meal. Yeah, that was good. And I'd say similar stuff, like in terms of lying to impressed people maybe is like, if I am at a really fancy restaurant, it's not like I don't like a dish, but like if it's just not as special, often

if you get like a taste in menu, I find like the starters and the desserts are amazing. But the middle ones are kind of like, just taste pretty normal because they kind of doing you a bit of chicken, you're trying to make it a bit heartier and it tastes quite normal and I have to really like sell it the same way

I've been selling all the other dishes up until that point where they've blown my mind and I've been like I can't believe how good this is. And then I'm having to go, whoa, yeah, this too. Yeah, keep them coming. But actually I'm thinking, this is actually I can't really tell the difference between this and a normal bit of chicken I've had at home.

That's when I really think, yeah, I'm faking it to impressed people. Yeah, I mean, obviously I don't have fucking clue about wine and I've never understood it. It seems like a massive kind of honey crisp Fuji. Google those. He Googled those. I saw you Google in there.

When we were answering the questions, you just drifted off somewhere else. What's he doing on his computer? He's googled types of apples. Yeah, that's definitely going in series four, isn't it? In my brain. Googled in my brain. Okay, let's start with you, Cedric Pambles. What is the food

you've never eaten that you think it's mad? You've never eaten it. I've got it. One of my own wedding cakes. That's mad. That's mad. The genie. Whoa, I want to delve into that more because I was at the wedding. I introduced the cakes and

I know all the flavors. He's not going to let you delve into it. Otherwise, his joke doesn't work that he loves doing that no one ever enjoys. Look at his little face. He doesn't care about your wedding. No, the joke is, he says, was mad that you've never done it and then you say it expecting more questions. He goes, that's mad and then moves on.

Oh, that's his joke on the podcast. Fucking hell. We can do it. Look, genie, in all seriousness, I will answer follow-up questions. What's the food you've never eaten that you think it's mad you've never eaten? Cinnabon. That is mad. All right, so

Just expect me to, you would expect me to have eaten it, wouldn't you? Yeah, fuck you. No, okay, let's go back. Let's do it. You're right. It's interesting that you've never had a Cinnabon. I've had Cinnabon and it's fucking incredible. How? And if I were not me, I'd eat it every day. I can't believe you've not had that. That's the

best food I've ever had. Yeah, but that's why I haven't had it because I know, I haven't got the self-control that you've got when it comes to desserts. I know if I discover I like Cinnabon, which I know I definitely, categorically will love it and it'll be my favorite food, that I will get it every single time and I won't be able to walk past

a Cinnabon without getting one. So therefore, I have never had it because I don't want to get opposite a donut time for three years and I never went in donut time. I never got a donut from there because I didn't want to discover how because they looked amazing in the window. I was like, if I have one, I'm having one

every single day because I live so close to it. So I waited until the week when I was moving and I think I had about three in a week because I was like, I had it. I was like, yep, these are incredible. I wanted to try it. We just live around the corner from Flavortown Bakery to do incredible cupcakes

and incredible cakes and we only realized we lived around the corner from there the last month before we left and thank God that's what we realized. Every week we're in there just like, I get that one and I want to try that one. These are peanut butter pie. It's the best thing I've ever tasted. Oh, wow. Peanut butter pie.

Which one of your cakes? So, Ed had a peanut butter and caramel. It was also caramel and peanut, yeah. Cake. There was the top tier. One with orange, you know, carrot cake with like an orange kind of curd. There was something going on there. There was a chocolate. There's a lemon curd one with like

a sponge and cream on the top. There was a chocolate one, wasn't there? Yeah, I think so, yeah. So what one didn't you have? The carrot. And I love carrot because I just didn't get any cake and then they brought some up at the end of the night and had a tiny bit of the salted peanut one and I was like, that's the best thing I've ever tasted and that's all I got and it had

all gone and now we've got three massive wedges of lemon cake in the freezer. Still. Yeah, it's all gone stale now. When I introduced the cakes which is like, you know, a very that's a great honour. Yeah, the traditional cake announcing role. Yes.

Who's it going to go to? So honoured that it was James. Yes. I was furious he didn't pick me for that but... If you want to get a role at a wedding, you've got your own on a specific role, it helps if you invent that role and suggest it to the couple and then you'll definitely get it. Yeah. And everyone came up to me afterwards and went

I want that because then people thought, so people won't come up to me obviously and go in, great job. They wanted, they thought I was the guy who was like the cake guy and I could get them in with the cake and they were like, please I want that peanut butter brittle one that's on the top and because they'd all seen that that's the

smallest one. Yeah. Because it was the top and I was like, I can't help you guys, I don't know how to I want that myself and I'm worried I'm not going to get it which I didn't. I mean, I think five people would have that one. Yeah, well they took some away and then I managed to get a little. You didn't even I've seen weddings, there's always a bit

where the bride and groom stuff a cake in each other. No, again, you're living in Hollywood, aren't you, mate? That's in the films. That's in the films. That doesn't happen in real life. Right. Maybe, maybe, you're thinking about, maybe you'd know what happened at weddings, right? And you wouldn't just be relying on Hollywood weddings

if you actually came to my wedding and didn't fly off to Hollywood. Yes. Maybe you wouldn't be walking around going, I know what weddings are, they're big fat and Greek, aren't they? Listen, one of the great regrets for my life has not been at your wedding. I know, I know, I know you mean that and I felt sad when I brought

that up that you weren't at the wedding because I know you were genuinely upset, so I apologise, Brett. I was really upset, thank you. I hope there weren't any wedding crashes at your wedding, Ed. You've got to watch out for wedding crashes. Oh, no! Oh, my God, I'm assuming JLo

planned it for you. What about the bit when they said, does anyone here have any objections? I'd imagine someone was there at the back, weren't they shouting? What about when the vicar is acting weird and it turns out it's Ted Danson with loads of prospects on? Three men and a lady,

three men and a little lady. Wonderful film. Wonderful film, wonderful portrayal of the UK. LAUGHTER Jeanie, what's a food you love that you don't expect anyone else to like? OK, so special

salmon skin roles I love, and I don't expect everyone to love sushi or salmon skin, you know, deep fried fish skin, so that's up there, but also the amount that I love, I mean, broccoli gets a bad rap, gets like, you know, bad rap, bad rap,

rap, you know, from when you're a little kid, everyone's like, fuck broccoli. The amount that I eat it now though, I have it all the time in a load of different ways, I really love it, love all the different types of broccoli, and I'm surprised at how much I love broccoli now, but then I wouldn't expect anyone else

to be as enthusiastic about it. Can you name all the different types of broccoli in a Roy Kent boy? Ted Danson. I'll try to get into the Roy Kent thing. Keely, Keely, Keely, come here. I don't want to be a pundit, I told

you before. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it, Keely. Don't, hey, hey, hey, listen to me, listen to me, Keely. Let's pirate, let's pirate. Keely, listen to me, I'm proud of you, and you don't have to be ashamed of me. You don't have to worry about me, Keely.

Just name some broccoli. That's also James's impression of Brian Cox in Succession, I don't know what's going on there. Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off. Purple Sprouting. Fuck off. Keely. I love Roy Kent. Cedric Malambos. Yes.

What's the food you love that you don't expect anyone else to like? I like anything really salty but I'll just have it by itself. So people love capers, people love anchovies amongst things. Do they? Do they? They divide people anyway.

Do you not like capers? People who like capers, they'll put them on a few on or whatever. I'll have a spoonful of capers and I'll down the vinegar afterwards. Question for the group. I'm really living my truth. What is a caper?

It's a good question. You said you thought it was a berry. I thought it was a berry, it's a caper berry. I thought it was a fish. No, it's not a fish. That's an anchovy. It's because you put them together, I'm always just cutting little disgusting fishes. You thought they were like little brothers or something?

Yeah, you caught some capers. They're edible flower buds, the capers. You're very natural sometimes, you are, Genie. Yeah, thank you. Cheers. Oh, fuck. Just kick the table. Spill all the water.

This one's for the two most romantic boys I know. Let's start with you, Cred. What is the meal you would cook your lover as a test to see if you should be together? As in you cook the meal, if she don't like it, she's not the one for you. We went through this when we did this with films, Brett.

I don't think that's a healthy way to start a relationship. I don't think any sort of tests, really. Maybe something really spicy. Maybe put a big raw chili with seeds in the middle of a slice of cake or something. And then if she doesn't think that's a laugh, then she's not with the right guy because I'm a prankster and I'm a legend.

That's actually a good answer, though. It is a good answer, right? Not to like, she should be because she's got to respect the prank, but like, when you make something that's too spicy and the person kind of just goes, eats it anyway, then you go, ah, no, I knew that was too spicy and they could have just told me,

I'm doing that, but they've given it the old college try. They've eaten it anyway. That feels good. I'm with a good person. Never used that phrase before. Oh, so your test is, I'm with a person who won't ever express how they really feel. Yes, I want them to keep that to themselves. If they're ever upset with anything I do,

they've just got to really just keep it under their hat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Will you marry me? You know, I want them to put, just put on a happy exterior on the outside, but inside they're really hurting. Oh, yeah, it's all that you get.

Well, riders will be it. Ever knows I tried. Do you want a part in season three? Yeah, yeah, I just

want to get in the writer's room, man. I've got all these ideas. You hear them popping off of me? I do. Oh, you want to write on it? I'm talking about your acting as an actor. One episode can James sing the theme. Don't mention it. Just let me do the heaven knows I've tried.

Normal, the Marcus Mumford stuff, and then at the end I just go, heaven knows I tried. I just have that. What is the meal that made you the most uncomfortable the genie? It's when I was younger and family were at a meal

at someone else's house and they don't normally cook and they were like, I've just tried a recipe. I just thought I'd try it. I don't normally cook and it was my memory of it is that it was mainly like kale and cabbage and like a load of green vegetables

that actually don't go that well together with loads of orange peel in it. Like they're just the orange peel and it tasted like compost. You know, someone's like just put all their scraps of food from their potato peelings and stuff into one bin

and it's like, it was really bad but to be polite, said it was nice and then they were like, great, there's loads more. Do you want some more? And then nowadays, as an adult I'd probably get round it and go, I'm full but it was great thank you. And then I was like, wow you're a teenager, I've said I like it

so I was like, yeah, sure. The second serving of that was I was physically uncomfortable and also just like socially, really didn't. And I was thinking in my head, now is this going to be a thing where every time we come they're going to be like, major favourite the compost bin again. It was very uncomfortable.

It was very, I can still taste it when I think of it now. It was not nice. That made you fart as well, right? Yeah, I imagine I farted but that was probably a blessed relief later on. Probably enjoyed that. I was on holiday and it was in Brazil with my family and

we went to this tiny little restaurant that was basically a ladies house of a mountain. She cooked this beautiful Brazilian food and it's like a buffet. There were a few people there and part of it was there was this like spicy vinegar oil stuff that was basically like a bottle

like an empty water bottle and she put loads of vinegar in it and then loads of little really spicy chilies and then screwed the top on and just let it sit there, right? And then but pierced a hole in the top of the bottle and then that's like the shaker to get it just a little bit of hot vinegar to get on there and I got myself

second helpings. It was so good. A big pile as a big fat boy then really, really enjoyed just having huge piles of food and I sat down with it and it had been noticed that I'd got second helpings and they were like always getting second helpings, you must really like it but I'd taken a lot of food. I'd taken a lot of food and there were other people

then I'd probably taken too much food and then I went to put this spicy vinegar on and the top completely came off and I'd say maybe half a litre of that vinegar with the chilies went all over my food. So at this point my dad's laughing, my brother's

really laughing and I'm like, well that's awful I can't eat this now it's like it's inedible and my dad was like well no you've got to eat it, you've literally taken all this food away from these people like they've spent ages preparing this food so I just had to eat it. I had to eat it and I ended up crying

I was squatting on the floor I drank like two massive bottles of lager just like slamming lager just to try and get through this thing and I was just like gone bright red crying and sweating just to be polite. I was trying to be polite but being so impolite

at the same time because I was like squatting on the floor eating it and farting and shouting being tortured and going like this is awful What a horrible story We're now coming towards the final question This one, I'd say at the best of times this question

is a tricky one on the normal podcast but here we are, the genie If you could feed a child only one food, what food would it be? For the rest of their lives Okay, here's what's happened Good friend of yours, let's say Ed in your case, the genie, right?

Ed's had a baby, congratulations Ed He's made you cake an answer for the christening and he's not made you godfather but he said you're like a godfather even though I'm going to actually assign someone much more appropriate as a godfather but you're like a godfather but I'm leaving the baby with you

the kid, it's great so quick it's toddler now, eat solids and I want you in this day to infuse the child with the most love and make the child know this is what food is, this is what's important in life

so you make one meal for the kid, what is it? Again, the more you explain the less the question made sense Donate now Don't just make the numbers up I'll read it one more time before we go into it

Sheppard's Pie Okay, why? Just think it's a very homely meal, I feel like that's what you have it at home, right? It makes you feel like you're home Boring

It's a nice image, you and Ed's toddler and Sheppard's Pie A heavy meal for a little kid Boring, my kid's not having Sheppard's Pie You're dead, you don't have a say in this I'm putting it in my will, my kid's not allowed Sheppard's Pie but too boring Well, I guess if it was Ed's kid

I've given the picker's basket or something that Ed likes as a little boy He'd like the picker's basket Share his starter platter I used to have it as my main course I guess if it was Ed's kid and it's in this finger from the godfather and he's dead or whatever I'll give the kid the picker's basket

If it's a generic kid, I'll give him a Sheppard's Pie because I think it feels like home What if it's my kid but I say I don't like Sheppard's Pie By the way, I don't like Sheppard's Pie Your kid's probably just got to make his way through the year's worth of beef jerky that's in the garage or something

Yeah, surely Drowning in protein powder Yeah Not Scarface Bedricle crumbles In your scenario you were on a tube and there was a parent with a kid

the parent got off the tube and the doors closed and suddenly you're with the kid and you're like, oh shit, it's just you and this kid on the tube car and you're pulling the next station and you're like, hey kid, maybe your parent's going to come on the next

you wait, no parent comes you get on the other line, you go back to the station, parent's not there you make an announcement it's a nightmare, can't get rid of this kid and the kid is cute, the kid is like a Hollywood kid really cute kid and he goes, hey, Led, I don't know

where my papa is and you're like, oh, oh shit This is mum left, yeah, this is mum before, yeah You eventually take this kid home, you're like I guess this is my kid now and the kid is a little bit scared but he trusts you and the kid

you've got to make a meal for that kid tonight, you want that kid to feel safer and make that kid feel loved and you want to make that kid know there's a future for him What meal are you making for that kid before the parent comes to collect So I'm not calling the police at all No, no, no

You better hold on to this writing job with both hands and never let go, young man Never let it go No, because you've taken it as a sign from God, you've gone I guess I'm meant to raise this kid You're mistaken, we find that later in the book So I am raising this kid

I've kidnapped the kid That's a kid, believing that you're on a mission from God Is the kid young enough that they would eventually forget that they were kidnapped and I could invent a whole backstory for the kid That's your hope, yeah, that's your hope So, I don't want my kids to be fussy about food so you've got to go adventurous early

but yes, I'd like it to be homely and warming and still delicious but you don't want any faff later on of, oh, I won't eat that, I don't like that it's got bones in it, I don't like that it's got, it's all, so spaghetti alvongolay Lovely

For the listeners at home what's fongolay? Clams, they're still in the shells so they're going to have to pick the clams out of the shells, they're going to get used to having all that around there, you know, and it'll just make them less fussy in terms of eating and who doesn't like spaghetti, and also

I can join in That's lovely, when the parent knocks on the door three hours later, oh, thank God where's my child, I just put him to bed and he didn't have the sign on him but he's allergic to seafood, is he okay? Yeah, I'll say, well, go and have a look I've put him to bed, I told you

Where's his papa? His papa, he's missing his papa I don't know who you are Good stuff, well I think what we've done for charity today cannot be underestimated The bravery that the two of you have shown

in helping people in need is, again, not to be underestimated Thank you Okay, here's the thing Sure, I brought you back to life and I'm glad I did and you know what, you've been wise enough and good enough

that I'm going to let you live However Just in case something were to happen and I changed my mind What one meal would you leave in a will in case you died again? Lead Pambles

I'll ask the question everyone always asked Does it have to be from the foods we've talked about today? No, it can be a brand new one I'm leaving my lasagna Describe the lasagna, please It's like any lasagna you would have had before but I pack it with more flavour The ragu is slow cooked

I put more cheese in between each layer mozzarella parmesan I put cheddar in the bechamel even though you're not supposed to You take it out, it stretches and you leave it for 2 seconds and it becomes rock hard with cheese It's a beautiful thing

I've never had this before You must come over You must leave it to James in your will The genie, what meal would you like to leave in your will? Treats of broccoli pasta Treats of broccoli pasta Yep, talked about it on the last one Last man used to be buried with

My favourite recipe I'll make it at least once a week Me and my girlfriend have gone through stages of eating it way too much It always sounds good when one of us says, do you want treats of broccoli pasta tonight? The other one's like, that sounds amazing Last time I said that

My girlfriend said, do you want treats of broccoli pasta tonight? I went, that sounds amazing It does, doesn't it? It's prophetic how it still sounds amazing to us We were with them the other day and we asked James and his girlfriend about it and they both glazed over in a way that suggested

We eat that so much, but they were both thinking about it and they both wanted it It's just delicious, I was thinking Ed's doing a show with Tom Carage and I thought the other day I bet I could make treats of broccoli pasta for Tom Carage and he would think it was brilliant I bet he would think it's brilliant

even though it's a very simple dish very straightforward he could do it in his sleep I bet it would still blow his mind if I made him treats of broccoli pasta This is amazing I'm going to make a cheese-tasty double double burger bun thing

that I'm going to have one bite of and you are going to cook treats of broccoli pasta for Tom Carage Look, Carage if you're listening if you're up for it, let's do it I will happily make a treats of broccoli pasta for Tom Carage He'd go, oh that's lovely that, that's lush
