0:46

to the Off-Menu Podcast, taking the lasagna sheets

0:48

of humor, the bolognese

0:50

source of podcasting.

0:52

I wonder what we're making. Chopping

0:57

up the lasagna sheets until they're thin

0:59

ribbon pasta. Like spaghetti? Mixing it with

1:01

the bolognese. And that's the

1:03

podcast, Spaghetti Bolognese. Ha! Tricked you. Egg

1:08

gamble there. Never try and predict him. My name

1:10

is James Eggcaster. Together we own a dream restaurant

1:12

and we invite a guest in every single week

1:14

and ask them their favorite ever starter, make or

1:16

dessert, side dish and drink. Not in the order.

1:18

And this week, I guess, is... Finn Wolfhard. Finn

1:22

Wolfhard. Brilliant. Brilliant actor, of course. What

1:24

an actor. What an actor. What

1:27

a presence on screen. What a guy. Stranger

1:30

Things. Are you kidding me? It? Are you

1:32

kidding me again? Ghostbusters?

1:35

Anyone? This kid's got the

1:37

world at his feet. Worked with some

1:39

amazing actors as well. Always a brilliant

1:41

ensemble when Finn's involved. And

1:44

then unfortunately, it's dropped off a

1:46

cliff recently with

1:48

Ghostbusters. Yeah, his

1:50

career is about to

1:52

take the note. Finn's not aware of this,

1:55

but his career is about to take a massive nosedive. We

1:58

call it the Cinderella Effect. As

2:00

soon as you share the screen with Acaster,

2:02

you're in big trouble. That's why you're sticking

2:04

to podcasts with it. Yeah, absolutely. That's definitely

2:06

why. You refuse to be on

2:08

the screen with me? Yeah. Because you know that

2:10

that'll be the end. Even when we started filming

2:12

videos of the podcast to release video clips, there

2:14

was a big debate over that. Because

2:16

I thought it's the end of my career if I'm on

2:18

screen with Acaster. Yeah, that's why you never see us in

2:20

a two shot. No. It's

2:23

always a single shot. Well, you know.

2:25

No, you're very good, James. Yeah, I

2:27

am great. And Finn Wolfhard is brilliant.

2:29

We're very excited to have him on the podcast. However, if

2:32

Finn does choose the secret ingredient, the ingredient that

2:34

we deem to be unacceptable, we will be forced

2:36

to kick him out of the drink restaurant with

2:38

no dinner. And this week, the secret ingredient is

2:41

eggs with maple syrup. With maple

2:43

syrup from season one of Stranger

2:46

Things. Yeah, he dumps

2:48

it on there. He loves it. Yeah.

2:50

People are not impressed by it. Also, the

2:53

other characters. Finn's Canadian, so maple syrup, the

2:55

perfect link. Yeah. Maybe we should ask that.

2:57

That was like, what was some of the

2:59

thinking behind that? Is Canadian roots with

3:02

the American eggs. That's like American eggs. You've

3:04

done this before, James. When you've

3:07

said we should ask the guest something, even though we're

3:09

recording the intro after we've recorded the episode. And I

3:11

know for a fact that we didn't ask him that.

3:13

He's right here. Yeah. Was

3:16

that like a whole thing about American eggs? Was

3:20

it American eggs and Canadian syrup? You're

3:23

talking about you coming to Hollywood? Is

3:27

this a part of my story? Is

3:29

that why you poured the maple syrup on the

3:31

eggs? Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. I wrote that in

3:33

because I told him that this will be one

3:36

day when I'm old, gray, lying on a bed. I'll

3:38

be able to look back and go, I did

3:41

it perfect. I

3:44

love the idea of you getting them to write something in

3:46

Stranger Things in season one when you were what, 15? Oh,

3:49

12. 12 years

3:51

old. Write this in

3:53

for my story. Yeah. Well, yeah. It was part

3:55

of it. I wanted to sort of, I

3:58

wanted to kind of lay breadcrumbs for you. what

4:00

my career would become then. These

4:03

kinds of smart. It's all there. It's all in. It's

4:05

changing. So there we go. Little stink peek of you

4:07

and his voice there. If you want to hear

4:09

more of Finn's voice. Just keep

4:11

listening because we're about to end here for an hour. This

4:15

is the Off Menu Menu of Finn

4:17

Wolfhard. Welcome

4:25

Finn to the Dream Restaurant. Hello.

4:29

Welcome Finn Wolfhard to the Dream

4:31

Restaurant. We've been expecting you for some time.

4:33

I imagined you coming out of like a

4:35

big, you know, one of those cakes, those

4:37

big cakes. Oh, yeah. And then coming out

4:39

of the middle, you know, like fake, like,

4:41

cakes. Yeah, that would be good. Yeah. Isn't

4:43

that like a sort of 80s, like, stripper

4:45

thing? I'm thinking

4:47

specifically about the

4:49

film Under Siege. Never seen it.

4:53

This is all very specific. Under Siege. I'm

4:55

one of our youngest guests. But

4:57

you see Under Siege. That's what, bursting out of

4:59

a cake. That's what it is. All right. Actually Finn

5:01

probably not. He's watched, you're sure a lot of movies don't

5:04

you? Yeah, but I haven't seen Under Siege. Yeah,

5:06

you should watch Under Siege. Is it like a Seagull? Yeah. No,

5:08

it's not. Is it really? It is a Seagull film. Yeah. Little

5:12

bit of trivia for you. I've never seen it,

5:14

but it's been on VHS in my parents' house since I

5:16

was born. So no

5:18

one's seen it. I've not seen it. Except your

5:20

parents. Maybe. They're not watching that. Did they

5:22

rent it or buy? Never returned it. I

5:25

mean, it's just quite weird to me that they have

5:27

it because it's not neither of their taste in films.

5:29

Right. Yeah. But it was always

5:31

they rent it every week. Yeah. Yeah. Back.

5:33

Well, I guess back when you like rented

5:35

stuff from the library. Yeah. Is that a

5:37

thing in your? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

5:39

For rent. Maybe I went to the library.

5:42

Yeah. Maybe they went Under Siege at the

5:44

library. We used to rent videos

5:46

from like just the corner shop. So they just

5:48

have a tiny little section at the back.

5:51

Oh, really? Videos and I See he's going down there. The

5:53

Under Siege section. The Under Siege section. Just Go look at

5:55

the back of Under Siege. Yeah. Yeah. What kind of cake

5:57

would you like to start? The

6:00

hours or someone elses jump out of. if

6:02

I'm if I'm James is James is jumping

6:04

advocate for who read. Or mean

6:06

you are or are a dream person

6:08

to jump out at take such. Oh

6:10

yeah yeah okay yeah yep. Who would

6:12

you most like to depart the cat

6:15

Nelson Mandela to get it right? What

6:17

kind of cake would you like to

6:19

jump out of? Ah Red Velvet San

6:21

I feel like I have yeah as

6:23

a good cream cheese icing Appealing foot

6:25

miss me not to be surrounded by

6:27

maybe like are like a German chocolate.

6:29

very specific. We have chocolate that I

6:31

picked but. I think that would

6:33

be best that like A.is sort of

6:35

marketing archaeology I year which I even

6:37

like dark chocolate but I i i

6:39

think that there's. Sometimes. For

6:41

whatever reason, the cake can. Break.

6:44

That up on an A while you're inhaling

6:46

that you'll be pleased name for a while

6:48

to get assistance you wanted. That he lied

6:50

and pretty good idea. enough for while and

6:52

bust out of it is the temptation or

6:54

going to pay nigger nigger out the out

6:56

by the insects in the giant the right

6:58

Iraqi via is because I think if I

7:00

saw someone bursting at the cake a be

7:02

surprised and quite impressed if I saw someone

7:04

slow to even aware of. okay got. It

7:10

exactly where never really gone

7:12

back soldiers The achievement. Interests If

7:15

we're old men say I have think

7:17

I'm not the side of assistance area

7:19

Ninety these newfangled felt he and his

7:21

newest as to what. If

7:24

is a significant then like the film's yeah we

7:27

give us your homework. Any of that top We

7:29

have no idea who you are. An

7:32

omelette told us about. This is why? Why?

7:34

Who is that your little nephew See I

7:37

know ago I was no I am assuming

7:39

that guy might be on the movie I.

7:42

Saw. Him

7:46

as a German dark chocolate cake can sit

7:48

there for a bit jealous. The other you

7:50

felt like i yeah I think it. Also

7:52

I think seeing someone burst of a chocolate

7:55

cake I think is remember. To.

7:57

Play? Yeah? Absolutely.

8:01

Yeah I thought they would you like it today if your

8:03

bus Now the cake. Is. Both that

8:05

yielded to be and if you like we

8:07

can narrow down to like we can you

8:09

say Paul Rudd. Voter yeah,

8:11

just over fist through talking about

8:13

his power birthday name drop. It.

8:16

Was James and I are doing a film with

8:18

Paul Rudd. And. One of the producers.

8:20

asked me and another. Person

8:23

the cause mckenna to sing like a song for

8:25

him. And like a. I.

8:27

Just felt like a sick enough I'm one of

8:30

the do that allows really wanted wanted it and

8:32

he goes with the university deathly didn't I think

8:34

it would have been a really sweet saying. I

8:36

think I like they're part but I sort of

8:38

I felt like Paul Death I was wanting to

8:40

get out of their yeah because he just like

8:42

you know it's it Once you get to a

8:44

certain age or like. I mean I'm

8:47

I'm twenty but I think also when you get to

8:49

certain into like I don't we don't have to talk

8:51

about this for Allah says if is out there was

8:53

a let alone you want like a song some isn't

8:55

yet unless you're like their kid or whatever and it

8:58

was their idea of think it was a good poll

9:00

on your a mckenna part to not to not because

9:02

he didn't know we didn't do it in the Us

9:04

on the wholesale I didn't even get my my like

9:06

I didn't even my work schedule didn't even want of

9:08

minus I wasn't even therefore you'd like to come in

9:11

to do were down. I wouldn't come in early to

9:13

sing that song and then I would have waited a

9:15

few hours while James. It as seen from

9:17

my next season. I was just come

9:19

in for the citizen as is. So was

9:21

Happy Birthday by the Beatles. Why? which Mckenna

9:23

didn't know. he asked about what if what

9:25

if it but I also bought one that's

9:27

what What they bought the kate how they

9:29

played the song decide the speakers and a

9:31

potent look happy about by the one of

9:33

the he would have loved it if like

9:35

all come on guys. Got

9:39

far out of a if you do not like

9:42

today as your birthday other people are not

9:44

that you'd I was he doing If you bust

9:46

out the big caped yeah. Oh. see

9:48

i suppose that it was a i think

9:50

a know he wouldn't like it in there

9:52

and that that's the revenge sort of the

9:54

i didn't get the sing the song be

9:56

at somebody that really make him feel uncomfortable

9:58

yet the at the I

10:00

think that's good.

10:02

You, German dark chocolate,

10:04

for Les Bercais. That's

10:06

more specific. Also,

10:09

all I could think yesterday when you guys told

10:11

me that you'd been asked to sing it, I

10:13

just thought, oh man. Because you guys have done

10:16

a film with him already, you know him. It'd

10:18

be really funny if I did it. If

10:21

it was like, I would know, because McKenna

10:23

had a guitar and everything and was going to do

10:25

it with accompaniment, but if I just did it acapella,

10:28

just me. Also because I've never

10:30

known you to sing anything sincerely. So

10:32

every time you sing an ador, it'd

10:34

be like, happy birthday to you. You'd

10:36

have to do it like that to

10:39

stop yourself being embarrassed. I

10:41

feel like we're a few steps closer

10:43

to like, James, you play drums.

10:45

Oh, we should bring a big drum kit in for

10:48

you so that you can play with us. So

10:50

for someone else's birthday, and it's Aykroyd's

10:52

birthday. Oh,

10:55

a big crystal head drum. That's

10:58

the only way Aykroyd's going to be interested in

11:00

the whole thing. If somehow it's

11:02

a big advert for crystal head. Yeah, that's what

11:05

it will be. Happy

11:07

birthday to the head.

11:10

He's got a classic head. That's

11:13

what you've got a voice I have to put on.

11:15

Are you a foodie, Finn? Do you like food? I

11:18

do. I really do. I'm becoming

11:20

more of a foodie

11:23

as I'm getting older. It's the same. You

11:25

get to a certain age, like, I

11:27

think maybe 16 is the cutoff where you're

11:29

like, maybe I should stop eating McDonald's

11:31

like, all the time. You know what

11:33

I mean? Or like, maybe I should stop and you're

11:35

like, Oh, there's other food out there that you can

11:37

eat. And it's better. What

11:40

was your go to McDonald's order? Fucking

11:42

the day. McChicken. I was never

11:44

a big, I've never been a Big Mac fan. I like the

11:46

sauce. That's a hot take on the sauce. Yeah, that's quite controversial.

11:49

There's a lot of people listening to this who are going to be

11:51

like, what the? Well,

11:53

guess what? I don't know on Twitter.

11:55

So you can point into an echo

11:58

chamber that I won't see. That's

12:01

for you guys, not for me. You've

12:06

been working with James a while now, do you know his McDonald's order?

12:09

No, we haven't been to McDonald's yet. James?

12:11

Every time McDonald's comes up, I make James tell the

12:14

guest his order so I can see the look on

12:16

their face. Can I guess what it is? You can

12:18

if you want. We love guessing games. Are

12:21

you a Filet-O-Fish guy? I

12:23

would respect that more if that was his

12:25

order. It's less than that. It's

12:27

lesser than that. It's lesser than the Filet. I'm

12:30

still very angry about this. Oh, is it a

12:32

plain cheeseburger? No nothing, no anything? That

12:35

would also probably make people less angry than what

12:37

my actual order is. I go in and get

12:39

the grilled chicken wrap

12:42

with a bag of carrots and a

12:44

diet coke. Yeah. You

12:46

see my face? Yeah. Perfect.

12:48

You see carrots? Yeah, it's like

12:50

Adam McDonald's. But here's the thing. Also,

12:52

it's mine. I mean, it's one

12:54

of those things that's fine, but

12:57

go anywhere else yet. Get a bag of carrots

12:59

from anywhere. Or go to Nanda's at that point

13:01

if you're getting grilled chicken. Yeah. Context.

13:05

I basically only go to McDonald's, but it's quite

13:07

late after a gig. We're stuck in an airport.

13:09

And I'm just like, I

13:11

just know that I'll feel bad if I eat something

13:13

really unhealthy, so I get the healthiest thing I can

13:15

at McDonald's. I know that doesn't excuse it, but

13:18

I feel like I'm not going for

13:21

a normal McDonald's trip and getting that.

13:23

It sucks because it's not like you're

13:27

allowing yourself to… Because every time I go

13:29

to McDonald's, I know I'm committing a crime

13:31

against humanity. Sure. But I

13:33

kind of let myself feel that. Yeah. And

13:36

I'm like, oh, I'm so bad. You know, I do the whole I'm so

13:38

bad thing. That's sort of interesting that you don't

13:40

let yourself… Just go for it. If

13:44

I'm sober, you see. If I'm drunk, what? Whatever.

13:47

Yeah. I'm going for carrots. Oh,

13:49

I'm going double carrots. Ranch. Ranchy. We

13:52

always start with still or sparkling water. I'm going to eat. I'm

13:54

going to eat. I'm going to eat. We always

13:56

start with still or sparkling water, Finn. Still

13:59

always. I've never been a sparkling and

14:01

that's gonna be a huge that's gonna be oh

14:03

get ready for the Twitter debacle on that Huge

14:07

sparkling water fan. I just yeah, I don't think though it

14:09

makes me feel how's it make you feel You're

14:13

sort of euphoric. No, I'm just kidding. No, I I I Just

14:16

don't like the intense. It also

14:18

doesn't feel like I'm Getting

14:20

hydrated at all and people say I understand when people

14:22

say it's like oh it hydrated you just as much

14:24

as water or whatever It doesn't feel

14:27

like that to me. Mm-hmm, you know, I don't know if it's

14:29

subjective It's not well,

14:31

it feels like if there's that many bubbles

14:33

in it. Surely air is taking up space where

14:35

there could be water Yeah, so it's not gonna hydrate

14:38

you. I think my brain know any intellectually I know

14:40

that and yeah, that's why I'm Yeah,

14:42

that's it. Yeah, always I always choose the

14:44

still I think you know Generally

14:46

speaking more people be on your side

14:48

for the still water Yeah, even though

14:51

it's a pretty split like who's chosen

14:53

on the podcast But I think generally

14:55

you're more matter the people if

14:57

you choose of the still water. Yeah, right. Yeah

15:00

I mean, I think um, I think

15:02

it's the fancier thing to do When

15:04

you when you pick sparkling, yeah, it's

15:06

like that's the fancier. Yeah thing what

15:09

anything in the wolf now I'm a playing guy.

15:11

I'm a plane plane Jane Like

15:14

I like water nothing on it. Yeah, nothing

15:16

on it. Nothing in it. No ice. No,

15:18

I'll see guys I I like once in

15:20

a while some mint some mint sometimes you

15:22

ever go check into like like

15:24

Marriott You know like a courtyard Marriott and

15:26

they have in the lobby. They have

15:28

like the Lemon mint water lemon

15:30

cucumber mint water. Uh-huh. You're just like this

15:32

is great. I don't know if any if

15:35

these three should go together at all Yeah, but they're all

15:37

together So I'll

15:40

take it like I love the lemon and mint thing

15:42

as soon as there's a cucumber in one of those

15:44

things I want to tip it all out onto the

15:46

floor. You're not your anti cucumber I know I love

15:48

to I love cucumbers of food, but you need to

15:50

put it in water and the opposite really come Burs

15:52

as a food. I'll take them in

15:54

a California rule. That's an interest. That's the only thing I'll

15:56

take them in I don't know why Really

16:00

only thing that I would take them in is it California

16:02

vote? Sushi

16:04

right yeah, but like yes, you know I

16:07

mean it's like some fucking America some guy

16:09

from California Probably was like wrapped

16:11

crab and rice and was like oh, this

16:13

is Japanese food now Yeah,

16:16

I think imitation crab usually is it

16:19

because it's disguised in the California role

16:21

or exactly So it's like they've snuck

16:23

it they snuck it in snuck it

16:25

in I can hide it with some

16:27

soy sauce Yeah, if it wasn't in there

16:29

do you think you'd notice? If

16:32

you were blindfolded oh, yeah, I

16:34

got a color I

16:36

took all the cucumber out of it. I'm gonna here's

16:39

your California outfit. I'd still notice it I think it's

16:41

just because of the There's

16:43

just something about maybe the consistency is better I

16:45

don't like cucumber when it's by

16:47

itself something kind of slimy and texturally it

16:50

works in the California role But if

16:52

it's not a bit of a exactly

16:54

yeah, exactly there's something there There's something

16:56

there if it's like it's very cucumber

16:58

17:01

a bit of a version. I would say

17:03

17:05

17:11

After I choose my answer I would pop out of a

17:13

17:35

plane drain this yeah playing still water

17:37

Which I'd love to hear you say to someone in a restaurant by

17:39

the way when they come over to say you order just yeah I'm

17:41

18:00

What the hell are you talking about? Is this my dollars

18:02

at one in the morning after I've done the gig? You're

18:04

not sitting in the gig now are you? No I'm not

18:06

sitting in the... I'm

18:08

eating them in the Uber if the driver... You're not?

18:10

Well you're what? If

18:12

the driver permits me? Hang on. So you ask.

18:14

Have you ever eaten in an Uber Finn? No

18:17

I'm not a psychopath. What? Why can't you eat

18:19

in an Uber? Because you're in the Uber.

18:22

What's your rating if you're eating in Ubers? What

18:24

is it generally? What's the kind

18:26

of average Uber rating? For you? Well not for

18:28

me. Well I was right

18:31

up in the high fours for ages. Like

18:33

bobbing around the fives and then frigging... I

18:37

left Nish Kumar in it. Let

18:39

him carry on in my

18:42

Uber to get to his house. And he

18:45

made the Uber driver stop at an M&S... ...frigging

18:48

service station. And then the Uber

18:50

driver marched us down and I was right down in

18:52

the low fours. I thought who cares? I'm going to

18:54

start eating my carrots. Yeah I would never do that.

18:57

Nish compromised my score. Is it

18:59

possible to be in the twos before your

19:01

Uber just gets taken off the house? Surely

19:03

no one's ever been under a 4.8. Yeah.

19:09

Because no one's going to make it shock if they can

19:11

see your rating. We'll check out the month. The

19:14

worst thing is now you can look at the

19:16

more specific statistics. You can see how many fives

19:18

and ones you've got on stuff. Alright. Oh!

19:21

That's worse than I thought. Okay. Mine's worse than

19:23

I thought. Yeah? Ooh.

19:27

That's pretty bad. What? I'm

19:29

just going to give a deal five lower. Five lower? Finn.

19:33

What? Hey!

19:35

Alright. Yay! I

19:37

feel like a 4.84 is usually...it's just because

19:39

sometimes I'm late. Oh. I'm 4.78

19:41

here. Yeah boy. How is that

19:43

happening to me? Little carrot boy. Oh

19:45

yeah. Because I'm eating the carrots. I just had to

19:47

pick up the fucking carrot boy. It's

19:50

like the Uber drivers are... They're

19:53

coming together. I'm scrolling down here. There's a load of fives.

19:55

Actually, I think this is what I've given them. Yeah.

19:59

Yeah. for you to

20:01

get a five. So you're just,

20:03

god damn it. Yeah, well, bit of a shame,

20:05

James. That is a shame. Pop it up as

20:07

well, bread! Pop it up as well, bread! Fenn

20:09

Wolfhard, pop it up as well! I don't even

20:11

know what the first one is. Yeah. Yeah. So

20:13

bread, first of all. Yeah. Bread

20:15

is bread, but yes, bread. What

20:17

is the other thing? Pop it ons. Have

20:19

you been for any Indian food while you've been

20:22

in the UK? I have. At

20:24

the beginning of the meal, did they bring out some

20:26

massive crispy sort of fenn thing? Oh, interesting. Yes, I

20:28

do know those. Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes. That's them.

20:31

Still bread. Yes, I thought it might be bread. Did

20:33

you go to Brick Lane and get a curry on

20:36

Brick Lane? I have gotten curry, but I did

20:38

not go to any of those places on Brick Lane.

20:40

Fair enough. Well, you're trying to recommend

20:42

places. Tim was going to Brick Lane, and

20:44

I just said... James sexed,

20:46

go to any of

20:48

those curry places. That is

20:51

a terrible tip. What did you say? No,

20:53

you didn't say that. I said, Google best

20:55

curry on Brick Lane to go there. Yeah,

20:57

yeah. Because they're all... Which

21:00

is kind of a mean thing to tell you what

21:02

to do. Yeah. Well, also, when

21:04

I said it, I thought not only

21:06

is that not helpful, but also... It's

21:08

like you're trolling him. You're wasting a meal. Also, Ed

21:10

would be completely appalled of this. Yes. Which

21:13

he is now, because Ed would know where

21:15

to go. No, what you also said was that

21:17

there's no best curry places in Brick Lane. Yeah,

21:20

yeah. That's what you said. There's so many.

21:22

Yeah, well, that was the reason I think what he told

21:24

me. Yeah, I said I don't know... It doesn't matter. I

21:26

don't know what it currently is. Yeah. It

21:29

used to be whatever. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I

21:31

thought just go wherever people are coming. It's the

21:33

best. Yeah. Yeah, go to Brick Lane. Google best

21:35

curry. And you know what I did? You know

21:37

what I did? I didn't. Yeah, good. Because you

21:40

didn't know. I didn't do that. Because I feel

21:42

like I would have done that. And I wouldn't

21:44

have done that. Oh, yeah. So...

21:46

You would have had that thought and then dismissed it. Why would

21:48

I do that? Why would I just ask a friend if they

21:51

know a good curry place? That's

21:53

like the first thing you start with. Yeah. I

21:55

don't go to a friend to say, hey, give

21:58

me a recommendation. And they say, Google it. Because

22:00

I start at Google. Hey, how do I how

22:02

do I look up something? Asking

22:07

your friends to drive you to the hospital and they tell you

22:09

to get an uber Yeah, yeah It

22:17

can't so never have to go to hospital As

22:21

long as you have yeah, that's not what Carrots

22:24

give you good eyesight. Yeah, good. Yeah,

22:26

they're forever make you go orange a

22:28

few too many. Yeah, that's true By the

22:31

way, yeah, yeah, my brother when he was

22:33

a baby apparently my parents say that well I don't

22:35

know if that's like a joke your brother went orange

22:37

cuz he ate too many carrots. Yeah obsessed Bugs

22:40

bunny not joking. Yeah He

22:42

was obsessed with Bugs Bunny and was obsessed with eating

22:44

carrots and he ate so many that my

22:46

dad and mom both told me separately

22:50

So it wasn't like a ha ha this is like

22:52

parents. Yeah, it was either it's

22:54

the greatest long call Of

22:57

all time. Yeah, or

22:59

the misremembering. Yeah, but it's true to

23:02

them I feel like

23:04

sometimes families have jokes that go on for so long.

23:06

They become real in their head Yeah, yeah, and I

23:08

think maybe your brother going orange cuz he ate too

23:10

many carrots is one of those you love bugs bunny

23:12

Yeah, cuz he loved bugs bunny. Yeah Like

23:20

eat your spinach you go to be like Popeye

23:22

or something. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, but this is

23:25

a your cabbage will go to That's

23:28

a little window into my family It

23:34

can be a kind of wise cracking rabbit These

23:37

opposed to a strong man

23:39

strong sailor Strong

23:42

sailor would you rather be there's a Twitter

23:45

poll for you? You rather be a strong

23:47

sailor or a wise cracking rabbit. That's

23:49

a good point. We sort of pop. I'm both bunny Are

23:52

you pop? I yeah cuz I've got my stripey shirt on

23:54

as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yes But

24:00

You're definitely bugged bunny. Yeah, yeah,

24:02

yeah, I didn't think my second I was gonna

24:05

be but that's why I asked confused if you

24:07

were Popeye. Yeah I was like, who's Elmer Fudd

24:09

trying to hunt you down? That's the question. Benito

24:15

So you want bread yeah, I'm a bread guy you want, but

24:17

do you want any specific type of bread before the mill? You

24:19

have a favorite bread. I love

24:21

sourdough. I think that's the best

24:23

bread for me Yeah, you know, I don't want to make

24:25

a one big bowl to claim sure you can do

24:27

that This is your episode man. So if you want to

24:29

be in power, though is the better Do

24:33

you have anywhere that you like to buy sourdough

24:35

from there's a bakery right by where

24:37

I grew up called Bakesby bakery That makes

24:40

freshly baked sourdough bread.

24:42

It's delicious. We go there like first in the

24:44

morning to get this bread for you Yeah, yeah,

24:46

they've got really good steak sandwich there as well.

24:49

Oh, yeah, it's another Recommendation,

24:51

let's say what's it but aside from

24:53

steak what's in this sandwich? It's

24:56

um arugula And

24:58

a bit of horseradish aioli

25:00

nice. Oh, it'll kick. Yeah,

25:02

it'll cream What's the

25:04

mood? Rocket rocket

25:07

that's cooler. That's a cooler way of describing it.

25:09

Yeah, it's just stupid a name though Well think

25:11

about that calling a leaf rocket is crazy. Yeah

25:13

a voodler sounds like an actual. Yeah, sounds like

25:16

a leaf. Yeah Rocket

25:18

I'll tell you listen. I'll take rocket sounds cooler to me. I mean,

25:20

there's also what was the thing We were talking about the other day

25:22

at work. They're like at work I'm

25:25

fighting ghosts Yes,

25:30

what was the the beans what

25:32

do you guys call string beans here? Oh fine

25:34

beans Obviously that caused a

25:37

lot of a hoo-ha on the menu, but

25:39

it said you get fine beans fine beans

25:41

Right it was on the catering menu and

25:43

everyone was like Fine

25:46

beans What they're just

25:49

yeah, I'm everyone good be every American

25:51

You think you're better than me like

25:53

everyone immediately It's James actually

25:55

in this film or do you just make him stand by the

25:57

catering room any translating everything? Yeah,

26:00

we're fine, thank you. Don't

26:02

worry. So

26:04

you want the Bixby Bakery bread. Brilliant. Do you want

26:06

it with butter? Do you want like some salted butter?

26:08

Yeah, yeah, salted butter I think is always... I hate

26:13

unsalted butter because then there's just no... it's

26:15

just oil then. Give me

26:17

olive oil by itself. I

26:20

would rather that. I do agree with the unsalted butter.

26:22

Like even when a recipe calls for that with an

26:24

unsalted butter and then they get you to add salt

26:26

later anyway. It's like I just put salted butter in.

26:29

Absolutely. I truly think that the reason why

26:31

people make unsalted butter is because they bought

26:33

it on accident. But yeah. They're like, oh,

26:35

it's the other... shit. Well, whatever. I'll just

26:37

use this instead. I have bought it

26:39

by accident before and even then I'm getting the pot of

26:41

salt that I have in my house and it's always open.

26:44

It's a bump. It's like... and then it's like what you

26:46

butter bread like toast in the morning and you have to

26:48

do unsalted butter? No. No. No. No. No.

26:52

Imagine lobster or crab with

26:54

unsalted butter. It's nothing. That's

26:56

nothing food. That's nothing at

26:58

that point. I mean

27:00

crab is still great by itself. Lobster is

27:02

still great by itself. But you're just dunking

27:04

it in oil for no reason at that

27:07

point. Yeah. Well, sometimes

27:09

that can be good. I think the best sandwich in

27:11

my life was when they just dunked it in oil. Well, yeah.

27:14

But that's... what kind of oil was it?

27:16

Wait, what? What kind of sandwich? What sandwich?

27:18

What do you mean dunk? What are you

27:20

talking about? What do you mean by dunk?

27:22

I got it in this place... I've never

27:24

seen it before. You're in front of it.

27:27

Walking past the Old Vic towards Waterloo

27:29

Station. There was a little sandwich stall.

27:31

I asked one of these sandwiches and

27:33

he had a big... ...

27:36

map. And it was like full of ham

27:39

and salad and then... well... He

27:42

didn't do this in front of me. It

27:45

was cling film. He gave me it. It was

27:47

cling film and he gave it to me. And

27:49

I mapped it. I bit into it. It was

27:51

full of olive oil. It was like he just

27:53

dunked this whole sandwich in a bowl of olive

27:55

oil and then wrapped it up. And

27:57

I bit into it. Was this an actual sandwich

28:00

place or just a meal? man just yeah it

28:02

was delicious yeah such a good sandwich I think

28:04

it sounds horrible

28:12

I don't know about how you feel about it

28:14

much oil yeah hate it I one time I

28:16

was eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with a

28:18

few friends and I had steak that

28:20

was just dripping in oil I was

28:22

like what is this is for I

28:26

want this to taste like meat

28:28

I got exactly what I got it for which

28:30

is spoiler alert steak

28:32

yeah I used

28:35

to work in the kitchen in the pub and

28:37

there was a guy who wasn't the main chef but

28:39

was like you know second check but would

28:42

be in charge as you would say

28:44

who would be in charge when the other guy

28:46

wasn't there and he was like a real

28:48

like cutting corners dodgy guy so

28:50

like the main chef was really good made

28:52

beautiful steak the other guy

28:54

I saw him on several occasions chuck a steak

28:57

in the fryer and fry it

28:59

in the in the cookie for I

29:02

was at the same time yeah just do it quickly

29:04

do it like that send out oil all over it

29:06

like you're talking about goodness and also all what doesn't

29:08

save times always get sent back yeah of

29:10

course and obviously it would get bullets every time

29:13

but the management for going I would Ryan's I

29:15

would leave I think

29:17

I actually be like this is evil

29:20

yeah you're evil it's the sort of thing

29:22

you see on like kitchen nightmares yeah oh yeah

29:24

you would absolutely but you assume it's one of

29:26

those scenes that has been created for entertainment purposes

29:28

yeah it's funny so that's what I'm watching those

29:31

clips I'm like yeah

29:37

Gordon Ramsey eating like something that was like

29:39

it's always a bad sign in the episode

29:41

where they say like it's fresh frozen yeah

29:43

yeah I've seen a lot of this show

29:45

but they say like oh it's fresh frozen

29:47

he's like oh then it's not fucking fresh

29:49

or whatever yeah I

29:51

don't care if it's okay you

29:53

know like if it's fine yeah there's salt MSG

29:56

I feel by the fine

29:58

it depends how the rest presented right if

30:01

they're if it's just you're just going somewhere randomly

30:03

to get something it doesn't really matter in the

30:05

amount of like Random places that I eat at

30:07

airports that are just like so I could eat

30:09

I could just be eating play-doh at that point

30:12

And I'm just happy to be putting

30:14

anything in my stomach. Yeah. Yeah, so I have a pretty

30:17

low bar Maybe yeah, if

30:19

it was like called Finn's kitchen nightmares is be

30:21

you got around going That's not bad actually yeah

30:23

fine Your

30:27

dream starter, I'm thinking back.

30:29

I'm trying to put myself Sort

30:31

of in in my shoes at the

30:33

time. There's this amazing place

30:36

in Toronto called Annabelle's

30:38

pasta bar. It's in West West

30:41

Toronto, and it has Yeah,

30:44

just one chef one guy. It's

30:46

a small smaller restaurant and First

30:49

started they do bone marrow, and

30:51

it's so good. I'd never had it before Is

30:55

the actually does the last time I had it to have only

30:57

had bone marrow once? Actually,

30:59

I ordered bone marrow again, and there was no bone

31:01

marrow. It's just the bone Yeah,

31:07

I was for the flat prank at least

31:09

once yeah, yeah, but I said it out

31:11

and yeah Oh yeah, oh, I got the

31:13

bone again You push through to sort of

31:15

get it all out the bottom and it

31:18

just immediately hits by exactly yeah, but this

31:20

is amazing It's like, but it's buttery put

31:22

on some bread as well. That's some unsalted

31:24

butter that I would have yeah Yeah, basically,

31:26

but but then you put your soul on

31:28

that as well, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

31:31

love it Absolutely loved by Marrow. I did it at

31:33

home the other day did you yeah?

31:35

I said mine. You did it Okay,

31:38

31:42

whether I got them cut rather than

31:44

like lengthways uh-huh I got them cut

31:46

just like chunks of bone Yeah, yeah

31:48

180 in the oven 20 minutes All right

31:50

And then I could did some steaks on the barbecue and I

31:52

just put the bone marrow all over the steaks And

31:55

it was delicious for like 10 minutes, and then the

31:57

bone marrow really started to harden up on the right

32:00

Unpleasant yeah, who else was there my friend

33:36

he's been living off of it for you know

33:38

months. Oh, what do you like? I'm like down by for

33:40

you And so he

33:42

gets down to the bone He said you know you can actually eat

33:44

the the marrow raw like inside

33:46

so he literally he puts the it's in

33:48

the Arctic He puts the bone on two

33:50

rocks And then puts another bone and splits

33:53

it in the middle and just eats it

33:55

directly and it's the most satisfying So

33:58

maybe some people kind of gross. I think It looks

34:00

delicious. Yeah, I actually think

34:02

it looks amazing. Yeah, it's like frozen bone there

34:05

Maybe it's because he just like sells it so well Good.

34:08

Yeah So it's your

34:10

favorite YouTube video because you like what the man eating the

34:12

bone marrow and he really like loves it. Yeah He

34:15

really loves it This

34:18

is going to be like this guy is gonna

34:20

have a nightmare like he's there he goes

34:22

Yeah, you can eat the bone marrow raw and

34:25

he's gonna like shit himself break it Yeah,

34:27

it's like maybe you can do it well like

34:30

Like the bones do you guys ever watch the show alone? No,

34:33

no alone is great because it's like

34:36

they get 30 people who

34:38

are like I like to think I'm pretty outdoorsy and they

34:40

drop them in the middle of nowhere for real Oh

34:42

nothing was literally nothing Yeah, and they give

34:45

them one camera and they have to document

34:47

their entire journey and the last person standing

34:49

wins of the sum of Money, it's

34:51

like negative afraid But like with without

34:54

being naked and there's no other cameramen

34:56

and it's just them and they

34:58

have that afraid They are afraid. Yeah,

35:00

and there's also yeah, they have to

35:02

make everything they are afraid. They're not

35:04

naked. Sometimes they're naked Yeah, what's amazing

35:06

and you'll find it every single season.

35:09

You'll have one at least one character

35:11

That's way too cocky and is like

35:13

yeah You know, I've been doing this for a long

35:15

time or like, you know I've been living off the

35:18

off the grounds in Colorado Whatever this is nothing to

35:20

me and they get really confident and

35:22

they find some it could be like a bug

35:24

or something You know, like they're trying to find

35:26

anything to eat and they're like Yep,

35:29

this is gonna be good. This is gonna be

35:31

good They're showing the camera like that's good eats

35:33

for the night and then it gives a hard

35:35

cut to like Was

35:42

not right about that but I

35:44

wonder why If

35:47

you watch that show at least Want

35:50

at least two people have that every

35:52

season. Yeah, like whoop. This

35:54

looks good And

35:58

they get an airless It's a

36:00

long thing. And by the

36:02

way, sometimes it happens like halfway through. So

36:05

they have to like go back and do

36:07

like a re-feeding program, which is essentially you

36:09

have to learn how to eat again. Wow.

36:12

And so- Because they ate the bug. They ate

36:14

the bug. Well, that's because- no, because they're not

36:16

eating anything. Yeah, right. Okay, so they're not eating

36:18

anything. So they're like trying to get anything. But

36:20

when they do get something, it's just like, Yeah.

36:23

I got this thing. It's gonna be

36:25

so good. What

36:27

is going on? Is

36:30

this quite a lot of bone marrow they're giving you, or

36:32

is it quite- because sometimes I think people can be, like

36:34

you say, you order the ones just the bone, and you're

36:36

like, There's hardly any marrow on this. I mean, people can

36:38

be very stingy. Yeah. I would say

36:40

it's just enough. It's two- there might

36:42

be one big bone that's split in half, and

36:45

they serve it to you in the bones, like

36:47

halved in the bones. And

36:49

you just scoop it out with a spoon, and you spread it on

36:51

the bread. Yeah. Perfect amount, I would

36:53

say. I would say if there's any

36:55

more, it would be kind of gross. I think-

36:58

because this is the dream restaurant, I think we should say across

37:00

the whole menu, the amount of food

37:02

should be just enough. Perfect amount. Yes.

37:04

It is just- you're absolutely correct.

37:06

You're absolutely correct. That's

37:09

why everyone wants to overboard on your steaks

37:11

when you put the bone marrow on. It sounds like

37:13

you went- Sounds like you put Vaseline on your

37:15

steak. Yeah, yeah. It genuinely looked like that by

37:18

the end. Yeah, because that's what it looks like.

37:20

When it hardens up, it's like, congealed. And it

37:22

was unpleasant to eat. I

37:24

just imagine you being like, oh, I'm not

37:26

like- Yeah, scraping it off the steak. Yeah.

37:30

You did the steaks perfectly. So next time I'm going to

37:32

do it on toast, but I will be doing it again.

37:34

Those have been starter. Yes. Well, let

37:36

me know. Don't invite fucking Fettie out. Yeah. Invite

37:39

me over. Yeah. Yeah.

37:43

You don't have to like invite me over. Yeah. You don't have

37:45

to kind of- I'll have the bone. You did a tip toe

37:47

around James. No, no, no. I never tip toe around James. He's

37:49

very heavy. You're heavy footed. Yeah. I'll

37:52

clump around him. Yeah, he can't. Yeah. He

37:55

knows Fettie and I wouldn't get on. I'm not wasting a good one on you. Yeah. So

37:58

this is- Hold on. I have

38:00

no idea what you're a boxed wine Literally

38:03

the only time I could ever tell if a

38:05

wine is good if it is literally the

38:07

best what like yeah times

38:10

I've ever been like that's a good wine is When

38:13

I've been in a ridiculously bougie situation as someone has

38:15

gone here's a very very special ball Yeah, they bring

38:17

it out and I go oh yeah, I

38:19

can finally taste wine Anything you

38:21

know that in the same. I

38:23

don't know if it's bottom shell. Yeah. Yeah, I have

38:26

no idea whatsoever But if someone goes this

38:28

is big. I think it go. Oh, yeah

38:30

I can tell that that's good to be fair Now

38:35

making out that after I've been told I then

38:38

like make out like I get not going oh,

38:40

yeah, this is good No, no,

38:42

I'm saying you you really time

38:44

my palate has ever gone Oh, that is

38:46

delicious wine and better than any other wine.

38:48

I've had is what it's been

38:50

a fancy pants wine Oh As

38:54

such I think beneath the thing in a blind taste

38:56

test would you be able to pick out the incredible

38:58

fancy? But yeah, I guess we'll never know well. I

39:00

mean I think size I think

39:02

so what you're saying is nothing Yeah,

39:11

I think I would just go along with it.

39:14

What is older wine tastes like go to Paris

39:16

Is there a difference the things I don't know

39:18

a huge amount about it I'm probably in a

39:20

similar situation to James where if it's if I'm

39:22

told it's lovely then I can I've never

39:24

had like Yeah, if we're gonna eat

39:26

after this yeah, well, maybe we'll try

39:29

it. We'll try it blind taste test. We'll try an old

39:31

bottle wine Blindfolded

39:43

straw the most impractical. Yeah. Yeah. No,

39:45

I don't know any restaurant. They would

39:47

let you do that Oh

41:07

Dane's there. This is before the

41:09

main course even comes out. Yeah. He's

41:12

cooking. He's eating dinner. Oh, Finn, good to see

41:14

41:16

just got a raise for my job. Order anything you

41:18

41:21

That's not a course. This is on Dane. This

41:23

is on Dane. That's not a course, is it?

41:25

Well, hold on. Oh, hang on. So, are you

41:27

introducing a new course? Yeah, that's not. Which is

41:30

the Dane course. The

41:32

Dane course is that he's, he's... Good thing I got a

41:34

raise. So, he's at another table. He's at another table and

41:36

he's joining me for like, he's about, but he's joining me

41:38

for like a 15 minute period. But he's like... Because you

41:40

got a raise. Poor or anything. Yeah.

41:43

Exactly. But

41:46

he is, he's offering me anything. Yes. Okay,

41:48

I like this. I do like this. I

41:51

need more details about Dane. What sort of guy is he?

41:53

What industry does he work in? Dane

41:56

is a college student. So, maybe he's

41:58

got... The raise. Yeah,

42:00

well, you've got extra money. Okay, inheritance,

42:02

maybe a family member has passed away

42:04

now Hmm if he was in the

42:06

situation of a family member passing away and he had

42:08

inheritance Do you think I've been in that situation would

42:11

I go into a restaurant see my friend and go

42:13

my grandma just died? Yeah, whatever you want. 100% I

42:18

guess the bigger question You

42:20

42:22

will be a friend becoming bereaved My

42:26

dream meals friend bearing his soul

42:28

about it Okay,

42:31

fine. It's not a dane meal then okay, it's

42:33

42:35

the meal I feel like

42:38

there's someone in between those two who you

42:40

could pick. No, there's only two. It's either

42:42

dane or Bezos Yeah, there's no

42:44

middle man. I think he's exactly between them I don't

42:46

think Bezos is gonna come in and see a guy

42:48

from a hit Netflix show and start tracking him on

42:50

your own Oh, you're right. Who's Amazon? Yeah Anything

42:54

he'd be like, you know send a fucking plate of

42:56

shit over to that kid Yeah, and then you look

42:58

over he'd be like giving you the little white

43:00

flag. It's a little white flag with the Amazon.

43:02

Yeah Okay

43:15

fine then the

43:17

head of Netflix Ted Sarandos Yeah,

45:20

gonna not gonna go overboard Yeah, I want you

45:22

45:24

was weird for me still it's the IV so

45:28

They're here if you want to meet him That's

45:42

a cheat that's my little cheat and

45:44

is it because you couldn't decide like

45:46

you were like oh too many things

45:48

yeah So

45:50

you got for to me to get tacos

45:52

in there somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and

45:55

it's particular places Would you recommend

45:57

this to anyone going absolutely yeah a

45:59

talkery? There's also a specific. I mean this is

46:01

a different. There's a different. This is not part of my

46:03

you know There's a

46:05

place in Albuquerque, New Mexico Yeah,

46:08

yeah, the only thing truly though that

46:11

is the only thing that's going on

46:13

yeah It's a

46:15

beautiful state, but it's built on the

46:17

economy that is breaking bad. Yeah, no

46:19

bill mess. Yeah But

46:22

what can be a wonderful city? And there's a

46:24

amazing I was staying in this house when I

46:26

was shooting something and I stayed by this place

46:28

called Barbara Barbara Coa el primo.

46:30

I think was called and they only

46:32

sell barbeco tacos They're small and

46:35

you can buy them by the pound

46:37

well And they just serve it's the

46:39

most incredible thing you've had oh, so

46:41

amazing I like I said the Latakia

46:43

tacos because they're just classic and I

46:45

grew up eating them But both

46:47

are both are so you wouldn't want to

46:49

on the Cervantes meal Maybe to

46:52

add on one of them. I would say

46:54

yeah, yeah, maybe maybe a third But it's

46:56

crazy about the barbeco tacos. They're even smaller

46:58

than the tacos. I'm talking about it. What

47:00

talk Korea right so Hey, yeah,

47:02

I feel like we could throw one of those

47:04

yeah, yeah, but the barbeco at the generous guy,

47:06

right? Yeah Okay,

47:15

so that's just around those course yeah, so then

47:17

the main course It's a hard one actually because

47:19

there's I think there's so many I was like

47:21

talking to my dad about it I was like

47:23

do you remember any specific good meals we had

47:25

he was like really lucky like we

47:28

traveled around and had really amazing

47:31

meals So

47:33

here I'm gonna pick right now. This is it

47:35

have you got a list of potentials. I do

47:37

yeah, I came prepared This

47:39

is actually not potential. This is what it is because

47:41

it's the most recent I went to

47:45

Japan with a few friends and

47:47

just went for vacation. We went to Yokohama

47:49

for a day It's like

47:51

a port city outside of Tokyo And

47:53

there's this amazing ramen place we went to

47:55

there's so much amazing ramen obviously in Yokohama,

47:58

but we went to this specific place It

48:00

has this it was like

48:02

soy broth a lot of times you have like

48:04

tonkotsu broth, which is like pork This

48:07

is like clear soy broth, which

48:09

I guess is Yokohama style or

48:11

something I don't know but it was

48:13

just really very good and this is

48:15

the first time I've ever used this

48:18

dickhead Umami thing. Oh, yeah,

48:20

you know, I don't think everyone who says umami

48:22

is a dickhead I don't think at all, but

48:25

there's part of me that's like you don't know what

48:27

it tastes like I

48:30

sound smarter than you are. Yeah, so guess what?

48:32

I used it and it did. Yeah, I used

48:34

it but it's so good I like it really

48:36

it was one of the things that you couldn't

48:39

really place why it tasted so good It was

48:41

like buttery and I don't know where they got

48:43

the butter from. Yeah Ramen

48:46

so there was any yeah It

48:49

was bone marrow. Um, but it was

48:51

it was so good. Well,

48:53

it was ramen. Just sound

48:55

delicious it was just

48:58

I was a clear soy broth and then noodles and

49:01

Then two pieces of pork and

49:03

then like scallions and that was it

49:06

But the broth was the thing that was incredible about

49:09

the process are on the show. Yeah The

49:12

show I love it. I love ramen. Yeah,

49:14

no, man. It's so good. I'm sure I

49:16

did good places here There's

49:18

a couple of good places, but I think if

49:20

you if you go in Japan, yeah I think

49:22

probably the one that you've had that yeah Find

49:26

anything here that I

49:28

even had like amazing Roman in

49:30

Tokyo Airport on the way in from Japan

49:32

like for breakfast. I just had room like

49:34

Incredible play in Tokyo. No, no, I was

49:37

just there for holiday. But yeah,

49:39

just amazing Such good

49:41

stuff. There's a few good London chains. Yeah,

49:43

my bone daddies and stuff like that. Yeah

49:45

Yeah, I've been seeing that sign a lot.

49:47

49:50

49:54

brandings everywhere. Yeah, you know, I'm like, no you have

49:56

50:54

dream side dish now. I

50:56

have a few friends in Chicago and they've taken me

50:59

to like, I think some of the best food I've

51:01

ever had has been Chicago. There's

51:03

a place that I love going to. There's a

51:05

few called Parsons Chicken and Fish. Just

51:08

got really good fried chicken and really good

51:10

fried fish and I would get the nuggets.

51:13

Nuggets are so good. Like they're the

51:15

best. Usually chicken nuggets. I feel

51:18

like they're sort of an implied like, you know,

51:20

you're gonna get here. Yeah, but they're just great.

51:22

They really is great. I love that we started

51:24

this podcast with you saying you're becoming more of

51:26

a foodie. Exactly. Moving away from McDonald's. I feel

51:29

like this is a few steps back. Yeah, yeah,

51:31

yeah. Just a few. It's bridging the gap between

51:33

McDonald's and into the sort of, yeah, that's great.

51:35

Absolutely. Talk us through the nuggets. Why are they

51:37

so good? They just, I don't

51:39

know. They taste like chicken. I don't know. You know what

51:41

I mean? You know, like sometimes you're eating a chicken nugget.

51:43

You're like, I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna eat

51:46

it. It's just good fresh chicken.

51:48

I know how to describe it. The batter's

51:50

crispy. That's what makes a good chicken nugget

51:52

to me as well. Like also a good

51:54

chicken nugget is Chick-fil-A. That's the, that's a

51:56

good fast food. If you're going for fast

51:59

food chicken nuggets. Chick-fil-A because it

52:01

just tastes like actual chicken. Yeah, but yeah, it's

52:03

really good at it. The parsons in general is

52:05

a really good It's really good stuff. They also

52:07

have my drink to my dream of choice. Oh,

52:09

wow. We're not even moving on I know I

52:11

know place wise but but that sort of a

52:13

I was staying in the same location But that's

52:16

a way when you go there Yeah Let's be

52:18

quite excited to get you get the nuggets and the

52:20

trick and this yeah dream drink Yeah, the same time

52:22

would be like this is to work The reason why

52:24

I got the nut I get the nuggets as a

52:26

saw like, you know If it was the main that

52:29

I would get that sandwich chicken sandwich You

52:32

know, so what's another shout out for a sandwich? There's

52:35

no sandwiches on this menu places that

52:37

you've mentioned to where you go and

52:39

there's a good sandwich on so you're

52:41

a sandwich guy I have huge sandwich

52:43

52:46

that we know This

52:51

if you want a good sandwich in London, there's a guy who's

52:53

just under a bridge he dipped it in oil for you Oh,

52:56

you want to go? Maybe

53:00

old bit. I don't have a say to for

53:02

a while. His name's old Vic I

53:09

would say yes I

53:13

was no coward. Yeah Do

53:20

you get any dips with the with the nuggets?

53:22

Yep, they have honey mustard delicious There's

53:24

a ranch also delicious made there. I'm

53:26

pretty sure go homemade ranch. Yeah homemade

53:28

ranch I think don't quote me

53:31

on that but whatever it was imagine if that got

53:33

you in trouble Yeah, it was like I

53:35

went to the heart of chicken and fish in

53:37

Lincoln's square and it wasn't home. It was out

53:39

of the bottle I

53:45

Want your dream drink actually we're already

53:48

in the location. Yes, so we just

53:50

pivot in slightly they make blended Drinks

53:53

like frozen like slushies right that are

53:55

so good. They have a Negroni one.

53:57

That's really good Well the one that

53:59

I And they have this one called the

54:01

doctor coconut these fields that one sounds fake, but

54:03

I agree Dr.

54:06

Coconut is like just like a rum based

54:09

You know kind of pina colada vibes

54:11

the best thing there is called a

54:13

chichi colada This is what I would

54:15

have and it's basically lime Mescal like

54:17

orange bitters And

54:20

like peanut sort of pina colada mix all

54:22

mixed up, and it's the most delicious great

54:24

Why the cocktail ever this is gonna be so up

54:26

your straight? Yeah? I love it. Absolutely. No good

54:29

Yeah, so even though I mean the coconut one's great

54:32

too, but that one just kind of puts it over

54:34

the edge I would say I like good drinks. Yeah,

54:36

also just good mixed drinks, too I mean like they

54:38

have I would say like I Mean,

54:41

I'll save it. I'll actually I'll save it. Oh, yeah

54:43

for I'll save for later. Okay. This is great I'm

54:46

sure you but but um you have to remind me

54:48

because this will it'll be technically it's a drink But

54:50

it's it's no one you don't like sip on it.

54:52

It's more of a shot. Okay, okay Yeah,

54:55

I love like yes like alcoholic

54:57

slush drink. Yeah Absolutely

55:00

great the

55:02

blue A

55:16

bunch of us went for a meal

55:18

before going to see abbavoyage

55:21

Obviously as all grid

55:23

stores. Yes, obviously I knew you're going to have

55:25

a voyage Yes, and I spent all night while

55:27

you're abbavoyage laughing about you going to have a

55:29

voyage. Yeah Come

55:32

on come on told him we were all gonna see abbavoyage

55:35

And you get texts from Ed and Nish asked

55:38

me about you lot are going to abbavoyage immediate

55:40

text back Yes, that's the first time I'm meeting Paul

55:42

Rudd So

55:50

first of all got to the best chance smoking

55:52

go A great

55:55

great restaurant again. Yeah got that I know

55:57

I was like, I wonder if you'll be

55:59

the first As soon as we walk

56:01

in, there's a girl freaking out to her mum that

56:03

Ant-Man's in the restaurant. Okay, so we're not the person.

56:08

Go over to the table and

56:10

Finn's friend Fred and Paula there.

56:13

Kamau joins us and my girlfriend and

56:15

I. And then I see on

56:17

the menu is a cocktail. It's

56:20

called Something Blue. I can't remember what the first word was. Look

56:22

it up. We did have it. You

56:26

guys haven't even even been there. I

56:28

know we've been there. I think we

56:31

might... I don't think I had it

56:33

maybe. I know if I've had it before because I

56:35

wasn't prepared. I jumped on it immediately. So

56:38

I ordered it just because it had tequila. If it turns out you've

56:40

had it before, it's the perfect James

56:43

A. Caster story. Yeah, of course it is. It's absolutely

56:45

perfect. I forgot I had it before. Cosmic

56:48

Blues. I wanted the Cosmic Blues because it

56:50

had tequila in it. And

56:53

then everyone jumped on it because I will have it. Because

56:55

sometimes I like copying people. This

56:59

is a restaurant I also didn't know.

57:01

So sometimes I'll get the locals' favourite.

57:03

The locals' favourite. Everyone apart

57:05

from Kamau orders it. He took

57:08

a stance. I'm

57:10

not ordering that. I am not

57:12

getting the blue. But he didn't

57:14

know it was going to be blue. Oh, is it

57:16

actually blue? Yeah, so this is the thing. I didn't know it was going

57:18

to be blue. Oh, I did. This is where

57:20

it went bad for me. Because

57:24

everyone's copied me. Kamau's like, no, I'm having something else.

57:26

And I was like, oh, you don't want to be

57:28

in the blue crew because it was called that? But

57:31

then they come along and they literally are neon

57:33

blue ridiculous. And I was like, oh, no, I

57:35

don't know these people. Now I've made them all

57:37

get this blue drink. And started

57:39

calling yourself the blue crew. Called us the blue

57:41

crew. Run to their drink and

57:44

the blue drink. He's not happy with

57:46

it. Don't worry about it. He's

57:48

trying to keep it low profile. He said

57:50

we're with neon blue drinks. He's waving it around. Waving

57:54

around this neon blue drink. It looks like he's fucking holding the tester

57:56

up. Yeah. Then

58:00

a snap to his real life. Everything

58:03

disappeared after he threw that drink. We

58:05

all were bummed, I would say. Yeah, none of

58:07

them was happy about it. However, it was so

58:10

funny. And at the bit

58:12

we kept drinking, we just kept... I

58:14

finished the whole thing. I was like, I don't like

58:16

this, but I'm gonna... It was a blood crew. Also,

58:19

we were committed to being the blood crew at that point.

58:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah. At least I was. I don't

58:23

know if there was any fake motherfuckers at the table. I

58:25

was the only one that was in the blood crew. It doesn't sound

58:27

like Rod was fully invested in it. He

58:29

fell in to me. Maybe one foot out

58:32

at the waist. Also, I mean,

58:34

for a full... If

58:36

the listener wants a full image of who's at

58:38

the table, I said just like, you know, Finn's

58:41

friend Fred. Fred plays

58:43

the guy in

58:45

the first series of White Liner, so you guys

58:47

can do it, the kid who's doing that. So

58:49

that's who that is. That's

58:51

funnier to me as well. I've made him do it. He

58:54

loved it. Yeah, yeah. You know he loved it. Yeah,

58:56

he's sweet. And then you all bought matching jackets. We

58:58

did. And we didn't buy them. We were given... Oh,

59:01

well, that makes more sense than we did. It would

59:03

have been hilarious if we bought them, though. Or the

59:05

upper jackets. Because I bet they're really expensive. Because if

59:07

you hadn't... I really do. If

59:09

you hadn't been given them, you know James would have

59:12

tried to make you all buy them. Yeah, I would. And

59:14

by the way, I would have. Yeah,

59:16

yeah, yeah. You and the blue crew. I definitely

59:18

would have converted. Duh! You

59:20

and Fred would have done. Duh! You

59:23

and Fred definitely would have bought them. Yeah, they'd call and be like, eh.

59:25

Everyone else, I think I lost their thoughts by then. But

59:27

you two would still have bought them. No, no, no,

59:29

no. It's all in your head. It's all in your

59:31

head, Blooey. Is he Blooey? I don't know.

59:33

I'm Blooey now. We've all bought our new names in the blue

59:35

crew. I'm Blooey. It's shirts for

59:38

Blooey. Blooey, blue boy, blue balls. Who's

59:40

blue balls? Blue balls. Blooey,

59:42

yeah. And this guy. Blue boy

59:44

is... Blue boy Fred. Yeah. My

59:47

girlfriend is Bloozy and Macuzy. And

59:53

poor lad is Bloreblood.

59:56

Bloreblood. Bloreblood. Bloreblood. You

1:00:02

drink dessert so I

1:00:04

get this whenever I'm back in Vancouver What's

1:00:07

going on? Yeah stomach and stomach is

1:00:09

roaring. That's a good sign. I

1:00:11

need I'm gonna go for the good man Yeah,

1:00:13

that's how that's how this pocket ends. You actually

1:00:15

eat every person you have Yeah,

1:00:18

if it's a good menu On the gas,

1:00:20

yeah exactly And then you shut the door And

1:00:23

then there's like a there's a little bit, you know, there's a little

1:00:25

Yeah, dungeon down there that you

1:00:27

keep on Yeah, and then I film myself eating

1:00:29

the marrow and put it on YouTube Yeah, that's

1:00:31

my favourite by the way That's my favourite video

1:00:37

So, okay, yeah, so whenever I'm that I have a

1:00:39

local you guys don't have Dairy Queen here, do you?

1:00:41

No, but have you been? Yes,

1:00:43

I think we've told the store in the podcast

1:00:45

We have when I've been tempting entire Dairy Queen

1:00:47

onto a carpet to prove that it would stick

1:00:49

in the in the thing Oh, that's yeah my

1:00:51

friend my friend used to work at Dairy Queen

1:00:53

and said that Once in

1:00:55

a while because you know if you've never

1:00:58

been to Dairy Queen before listeners out there when

1:01:00

you have a blizzard It's like a blended sort

1:01:03

of ice cream with you know,

1:01:05

chocolate or cookies or whatever But it's

1:01:07

like it's kind of a harder consistency whatever or

1:01:10

it's like whatever it's ice cream But

1:01:12

the whole thing about is that if you tip

1:01:14

the cup upside down the ice cream does not

1:01:16

fall out Yeah, it's like the whole thing about

1:01:18

Dairy Queen. I've never seen it fall out before

1:01:21

Well, I think close I think very close

1:01:23

when I'm bowing out. So yes, yes, I'm

1:01:25

out of time. Exactly Yeah, it's not so

1:01:27

immediately after you're done if it's a really

1:01:29

hot day, maybe but my friend

1:01:31

used to work at Dairy Queen and There's

1:01:34

a few times. Was it Dane? It was not Dane.

1:01:37

Maybe you got a raise from Dairy Queen. That's what I was thinking It

1:01:42

was a guy Wasn't

1:01:46

Dane it was cook Yeah,

1:02:00

exactly. Yeah. We

1:02:03

sang each other. I could do one but it wouldn't

1:02:05

be as good. No? No.

1:02:08

Say it. Alright

1:02:11

James and I and the Blue Crew. Yeah. Look, I'm

1:02:13

not in the Blue Crew. I can't make that joke.

1:02:16

Blue Crews, do we lock it out? So,

1:02:18

okay, yeah. So there's a Blizzard that I

1:02:20

order. Like, Dairy Queens are huge in like

1:02:22

Texas or the Midwest or like random places.

1:02:24

And then for whatever reason, BC,

1:02:26

like Canada, like BC, they're huge.

1:02:28

In Vancouver, they're like everywhere. Dairy

1:02:30

Queens. British Columbia. British

1:02:33

Columbia, sorry. Before Acaster. Before

1:02:35

Caster. Before Caster, yeah. Before

1:02:37

Caster. That kind of almost worked. Yeah. Acaster,

1:02:39

that's the after Caster. That almost, that was almost. No

1:02:42

one gonna say, no one gonna say BC stands

1:02:45

for Blue Crew? For fuck's sake. You're in the

1:02:47

Blue Crew and you're missing opportunities like this. That

1:02:49

was an open goal. Fuck.

1:02:52

This is why, this is why the Blue Crew can't laugh

1:02:54

through. As long as you think it does. We need to

1:02:57

get added to the Blue Crew. I wouldn't have one of

1:02:59

those drinks if we're. Yeah.

1:03:02

That sounds disgusting, those drinks. Oh my God. Such

1:03:05

a baby. Yeah. Like he and the pay-let.

1:03:07

Oh, that's right. It was like a lot of

1:03:09

lychee. Yeah. No, no. So there's

1:03:12

a place, there's a local Dairy Queen that's

1:03:14

by my house and by my,

1:03:16

the place that I went to like elementary school that I would

1:03:18

go to, grow up, go into all the time. I found out

1:03:20

about this thing. I was like eight. And

1:03:23

then the guy who owns it, Simon, does this

1:03:25

thing. Why not make me laugh? Yeah.

1:03:28

Can we just make Jamie laugh a lot? Sure. You

1:03:30

go and he's like, what do you want? And

1:03:33

you're like, oh, can I get a, whatever, Reese's Pieces.

1:03:35

And he's like, well, I have this thing. It's

1:03:38

called the Dunbar Blizzard. And I was like, oh.

1:03:41

And it's like, it's, I

1:03:43

think it's Oreo with Reese's peanut

1:03:45

butter cup and cookie

1:03:48

dough mixed in. It's like all mixed in.

1:03:50

Yeah. And it's, it sounds

1:03:52

like, you know, like when you mix so many

1:03:54

things together and it kind of just tastes like nothing. It's,

1:03:56

that's not that. good.

1:04:01

Very, very good ice cream. And

1:04:03

that's what I would usually go for.

1:04:05

It's like a, it's a hometown hero

1:04:07

for me, I would say. He really

1:04:09

is actually. He's a legend amongst my,

1:04:12

amongst my neighborhood. Cause he was like the

1:04:14

ice cream man in the neighborhood. He

1:04:17

fueled many kids' childhoods with

1:04:19

ice cream. You're always happy to see

1:04:21

Simon. Always. The

1:04:24

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is doing

1:04:26

it for me. Absolutely perfect. So

1:04:28

good. The salty, the sweet.

1:04:30

Yeah. We don't, we still don't do enough with

1:04:32

that sort of thing in this country. I don't

1:04:34

think. No. Yeah. Well, actually that's

1:04:36

not true. You guys have like the, well, you have

1:04:39

the crispy M&Ms. Yeah. I love

1:04:41

that. Still no peanut butter M&Ms.

1:04:43

I tell you this still I've known Finn for a

1:04:46

couple of weeks. Yeah. I'd say that's the millionth time

1:04:48

I've had him mention the crisp. I was about to

1:04:50

say that. He loves the crisp.

1:04:56

Yeah, but I mentioned it so much

1:04:58

around here. It's not normal. I do

1:05:00

love them. Yeah. Whatever reason. This is

1:05:02

the right guy to mention that. Yeah.

1:05:04

Oh, I respect it. Yeah. Where I

1:05:06

started the obsession. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely respect it.

1:05:09

I think it's great. I see. Yeah. The Dunbar

1:05:11

Blizzard. Very good. I love it. And I, I,

1:05:13

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I think

1:05:15

all those ingredients, you know, obviously I love Reese's,

1:05:18

but like the cookie dough in there. Yeah. And

1:05:20

what's the third thing you said? Oh, the Oreos.

1:05:22

Great. More and more now. Like actually fast becoming

1:05:24

my favorite go to Ben and Jerry's is the

1:05:26

switched up. If I see a

1:05:29

type of switched up, which has Oreos in it,

1:05:31

which basically just got like the ice creams on

1:05:33

the outside and the pot is in the middle.

1:05:35

Oh yeah. Yeah. The thing. I

1:05:42

got fun fact when I was 15, I

1:05:44

would come home from high school or from

1:05:47

where I have like, if I was doing

1:05:49

straight or things or whatever, I would not

1:05:51

even, I would eat for, I think

1:05:53

for two weeks, I ate

1:05:55

a pint of Ben and Jerry's a

1:05:57

day. Wow. And I developed lactose intolerance.

1:06:00

You gave yourself intolerance, yeah. Gave

1:06:02

myself it. And this is what- It was- This is-

1:06:04

And I'm- Since totally fought like I can eat ice

1:06:06

cream and be totally fine. And it was

1:06:09

such a mystery to me on why. I

1:06:11

was like, what's going on? Why is

1:06:13

my stomach hurts so much? And

1:06:16

everyone's like, I wonder if it's the amount of ice

1:06:18

cream you're putting into your system. You're like the guy

1:06:20

on that show. You'd be like, another pint? Here

1:06:22

we go. It's gonna be absolutely fine. What's

1:06:25

going on? I'm so chunky

1:06:27

about you guys. It's a

1:06:30

good evening for fans. Oh,

1:06:32

yeah, that's lunch! Yeah.

1:06:35

Yeah, it crushed me on the

1:06:38

bathroom floor. Yeah. Yeah, well

1:06:40

that's the thing. That was the hard part. I

1:06:42

mean, nothing ever happened to me. Like, it just-

1:06:44

It just hurts so bad. Yeah. It's probably not

1:06:47

a good idea. I wish that, you know, there

1:06:49

was a funny shit story. But

1:06:51

there wasn't. And all

1:06:53

my friends were like – yeah, it

1:06:55

was one of those things. And they're like,

1:06:58

stop eating Ben and Jerry's like that. And I'm like, no,

1:07:00

that can't be it. That has to not

1:07:02

be it. And they're like, that is it. And then

1:07:04

that's when I stopped for like a few months, stopped

1:07:07

eating ice cream, and then I tried again. Absolutely

1:07:09

fine. Fine. You just needed some – you just

1:07:11

needed to tap out for a bit. So you

1:07:13

said a stranger's diagnosis? Three. So if you're watching

1:07:15

my face during three, you can see the pain.

1:07:18

You've been very good at that. Maybe.

1:07:21

The other kids, they all look concerned. I noticed in

1:07:23

season three, they were like very worried about Ben. Yeah.

1:07:26

Yeah. Yeah. Intervention

1:07:28

here. He's eating so much. So much. But the reason why

1:07:30

I got sidetracked about that is there was like the

1:07:32

Oreo – or I guess it was – it's chocolate

1:07:34

chip cookie. They're called milk and cookies. I don't know

1:07:36

if you guys have that here. Not here, no. Milk

1:07:38

and cookies, the best Ben and Jerry's. And still, you

1:07:40

know what's crazy about that? I still like it. It's

1:07:42

not like I turned myself off. Yeah. Yeah.

1:07:46

It's like the – You have to stop yourself eating the

1:07:48

whole pint. Because I'm so bad. Does that

1:07:50

fit really well? Yeah. Well,

1:07:52

you have it on the hand. Would you – have

1:07:55

you ever eaten the Eggo waffles? Did

1:08:00

you ever eat the air-go waffles on the set? So

1:08:02

your face makes me not want to say anything

1:08:05

Why? ever again Because you made a face You're

1:08:07

doing your cheeky face You made a face And

1:08:09

I bet you've wanted to ask this for so

1:08:11

long Yeah No I've seen some mate No no

1:08:13

no I'm the podcast where we've had people on

1:08:15

who've been on Stranger Things We just asked about

1:08:17

you know Joe Quinn Yeah I asked him if

1:08:19

it was Dustin's hands playing the guitar Yeah Hilarious

1:08:21

So you asked me if I'm eating I

1:08:24

just feel like I'm offset And you want

1:08:26

the answer? No No Benito's

1:08:29

just happy that we're getting towards the end of the podcast and

1:08:31

we haven't done the Beni-Gorgon yet Oh yeah, nobody

1:08:33

would do the Beni-Gorgon I know what the

1:08:35

fucking Beni-Gorgon thing Don't do it Don't

1:08:39

do it You

1:08:41

can just do it for it Stop saying it

1:08:43

Do it for whoever you get on next from

1:08:45

the show that I'm on Oh wait, here's

1:08:48

the last thing that I'll say Good-wise It's

1:08:50

actually a shot There's something,

1:08:52

have you guys ever had Malort before?

1:08:54

No I've heard Malort, I've never had

1:08:56

Malort Okay Malort is like originally from

1:08:58

Poland It's like a shot, but for

1:09:00

whatever reason it's like the Chicago shot And

1:09:05

you have it sort of as like a welcoming

1:09:07

whatever It's kind of like a

1:09:09

liqueur It's not really, it doesn't really, it

1:09:11

doesn't taste like a liqueur It's not thick,

1:09:14

it's not sweet But it's really

1:09:16

bitter, that's the whole thing about it It's like

1:09:18

super super super bitter And

1:09:20

everyone tells you that it's good And you're like, I

1:09:22

know it's not gonna be good And then

1:09:24

you have it for the first time And it technically

1:09:27

isn't good But then you realize

1:09:29

the aftertaste is like incredible

1:09:31

And that's why people do it Right

1:09:33

Because what happens is you put it, you

1:09:35

throw it back You taste it up front

1:09:37

and it's like so bitter

1:09:39

and it's horrible And

1:09:42

then that goes away and you have

1:09:44

this amazing feeling slash taste on your

1:09:46

tongue It's almost like grapefruit or something

1:09:48

If I were to end my meal

1:09:50

with something, I think it would

1:09:52

be a shot of Malort Great, lovely That's the

1:09:54

way to do it, I think We've got to try that

1:09:56

Yeah, we could I think, yeah, it's like one of those

1:09:58

things where everyone's like like yeah

1:10:00

for years people would tell me about more and

1:10:02

be like it's so good I feel like no

1:10:05

it's not like you know it's one of those

1:10:07

like adults say that it's good because they think

1:10:09

that they have to you know because they're an

1:10:11

adult yeah um and then you have it one

1:10:13

I'm a ghostbuster now. You could do

1:12:44

that. You can pull that sort of shit. You're going

1:12:46

to put ghostbuster on board. Why

1:12:49

are you doing that voice? What? Please

1:12:52

tell me that's the voice you do in the film.

1:12:54

Yeah, yeah. I have to be from New York in the film.

1:12:56

Yeah. Do you

1:12:58

need some more of the voice? No,

1:13:00

fuck. It's a lot of ghosts. They're

1:13:02

taking over the city. Paul Rudd, you better

1:13:04

go after them ASAP. Don't

1:13:06

let me down, Rudd. Don't let me

1:13:08

down. In a dream world, that would

1:13:11

be the voice that you're doing. And you would call Paul Rudd, Paul

1:13:13

Rudd in the film. Yeah, fuck how it's going to be. And

1:13:16

every time you see Paul Rudd just wince. Yeah,

1:13:19

fucking do it. I've called me Paul Rudd.

1:13:22

They couldn't get me to come in and do ADR

1:13:24

for some reason. All that's to say how I said

1:13:26

it. You keep mentioning the blue crew. Yeah. Why

1:13:30

is the fucking bloke crew when you need him? We're

1:13:32

in trouble. That big

1:13:34

marshmallow man. He's toast.

1:13:38

Well, I don't know when ghostbusters comes out, but I'll certainly be

1:13:40

in the cinema every day to watch it. I'm

1:13:42

doing that in it. Yeah, for

1:13:44

sure. Finn is still in the room.

1:13:47

Finn, don't tell anyone at work that I just did that. I'm getting

1:13:49

fired. The voice is

1:13:51

not like that. Yeah, that's true. Is

1:13:54

it really? No, but

1:13:56

sometimes when it gets animated. Yeah, yeah.

1:14:00

the character is me in a flight suit. I

1:14:04

love it. I love it. You said I'm gonna

1:14:06

be there every day. Yeah, I'll go to the

1:14:08

cinema every day. I'm excited,

1:14:11

man. Yeah, you go every

1:14:13

day? I'm so excited. I just sit there with my

1:14:15

big blue drink. Yeah, you'll know what it's about. Turn

1:14:17

around to everyone else in the cinema going, this guy's

1:14:19

in the blue crew! Of

1:14:23

course, Finn did not say eggs covered in

1:14:25

maple syrup. Yeah, yeah. Not even one shout

1:14:27

out to maple syrup. He's a disgrace to

1:14:29

his home country. Yeah, good luck getting back

1:14:31

in now when you go home. Bad luck.

1:14:33

I'm gonna go pretty badly. He didn't shout

1:14:35

out the maple syrup. He did shout out

1:14:38

the local DQ, the local Taqueria. Yeah,

1:14:41

that's actually quite a lot of shout outs. Local
