Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster

Of course, of course, of course.

There's, yeah, there's like an atmosphere around me, whereas at this festival, where like everyone who comes to this festival listens to Off Menu and doesn't know, well, they know what Huge Davey, they've heard the name, don't know who I am.

Have you done it? You've done it.

Off menu.

Yeah.

The joke is that they mention me every time like an A-list celebrity comes on and they say like, yeah, the joke, I think the joke is, uh, what's annoying is I have to listen.

It was like, it was the worst part about that was having to even listen to that man talk.

Such a bad guest.

It's in Northamptonshire in the Midlands of the UK and the closest cities are sort of like Peterborough and Northampton.

For any fans of the Off Menu podcast, Kettering is where James Acaster is from.

Anyway, back to Anju and her family.

While they were in Saudi Arabia...

And then the guy goes, so I probably can't ask him for a picture, can I? Paul goes, no, I don't think so, mate.

That guy listens to Off Menu and he thinks the hosts are both called James Acaster and the producer's called Alfonso.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Professor Hannah Fry, who is a professional mathematician and a BBC science presenter and also podcast presenter.

James Acaster, a stand-up comedian and host of the Off Menu podcast.

James Blunt, a singer-songwriter.

Jerry Hall, a supermodel and actress.

Two and a half hours.

Why am I in a podcast studio?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm feeling probably less stressed than you are today.

I'll give you that much.

Two and a half hours in a podcast studio.

They couldn't find it in my Apple Music library.

Maybe this is just in Portsmouth.

Well, it's a lovely episode of Off Menu, guys.

[laughs]

[laughs] But then that goes into a waffle.

A nice boy.

And they have this podcast, Off Menu, you've probably heard it, where they have celebrity guests discussing their dream menu.

So I thought, why not? Because I was like, are we going to have enough material for this

episode?

Why not do an Off Menu on this podcast? So we can do it.

We can do it with food.

We could do it with Sarah Michelle Gellar properties, if you would like.

You would.

And you'd write, you'd write into Off Menu.

Say Off Menu said, "Have you had any funny," like we do with mailbag, I can end up on Off Menu's mailbag.

[laughs]

Couldn't I, if they did Off Menu mail bag? If you had...

And they go, "I sold Joe Wilkinson arse pellets."

Yeah, they're cracking up.

That's cock.

I think it's more, for me, it's more the way people react to me on other podcasts.

So, like, when you do Off Menu, Ed just laughs, like, incredulously at things you say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then you're like, "God, this is wild.

I talked about-

Coffee's a red-

... coffee on Off Menu.

But you talk about coffee on every podcast you go on.
