Ep 46: Noah Schnapp

Hello, it's Ed Gamble here from the Off Menu Podcast.

Hello, it's James A.

Caster here from the Off Menu Podcast.

And before the episode starts, we'd like to talk to you about All Our Relations, a non-profit co-founded by your friend of mine, comedian Jen Brister, and Georgia Takax.

They've created an absolutely amazing thing.

And we feel like, you know, it's the off-menu podcast.

Welcome to the Off Menu Podcast.

Thank you, Ed Gamble.

Oh, thank you very much, James A.

Castor.

Or hello is the traditional greeting, I suppose, rather than thank you very much.

Well, I don't know, man.

I'm mixing it up.

I'm a man of the world now because I've traveled to New York City.

We are in New York City.

This is the first of many episodes that we have recorded in New York City.

Also, some episodes coming at your hat from Los Angeles, California.

Full disclosure, we really just wanted to go on a little holiday, the three of us together, and eat loads of food in America.

And we decided that the best way to do that was to turn it into work

and record some podcasts while we're here.

And we've uh, Benito's been very hard at work booking a load of guests.

Our little Benuti Beniti Benito has been beavering away.

He we're gonna call him Book Nito because he's booked so many bloody guests.

Yes, yes.

So we have many, many guests coming to you from New York, but today, the first one of those, very exciting.

the special guest is Noah Schnapp.

Noah Schnapp is a wonderful actor.

You may recognise him from one of the best TV shows out there at the moment, Stranger Things.

Will Buyers, baby?

He's got a film coming out on Friday at UK Cinemas called Waiting for Anya, which sounds very, very exciting.

We talked to him about that a little bit.

Yes, he plays a shepherd, which all four.

Not enough shepherds in cinema, in my opinion.

Aren't enough shepherds in cinema.

Come to think of it, I can't think of another shepherd in cinema.

Broadbat Mountain.

Oh, okay.

not seen it great film two shepherds in that oh they're sheep herders really I thought they were cowboys yeah yeah but they're also like shepherd they're like like looking after the sheep I believe I think it's the sheep yeah I think they're sheep herders yeah which is where where the word shepherd comes from Ed it's sheep herd herd sheep hey James I genuinely didn't know that thank you so he's playing a shepherd in that uh Stranger Things got another film coming out called Abe he's a busy busy boy so we were very lucky to get a little bit of time with him to ask him about James.

Oh, oh yes, we asked him his favorite ever starter, main course, dessert, side dish, and drink.

We did indeed.

But

if Noah Schnapp says a secret ingredient that we have pre-decided, we're not only going to kick him out of the restaurant, we're going to kick him out of the restaurant, out of the dimension, straight back down into the goddamn upside down.

Bad luck, Noah Schnapp.

You're going to be in the upside down forever.

No more school for you.

No more school.

And the secret ingredient for Noah Schnapp is truffle oil.

Truffle oil.

Truffle oil, which we did nearly pick for Anthony Head earlier in the series.

And very luckily, we didn't pick that because we were getting on with Anthony Head and he did want truffle oil on his menu.

You know, the main reason we didn't pick it is because, you know, even though it will be fun one day if we kick someone out of the restaurant, we didn't really want to kick Anthony Head out of the restaurant.

So beforehand, we said, truffle oil, oh no, he might pick that, and then he picked it.

Yeah, so here we think Noah, not going to pick truffle oil.

I don't think he'll pick it.

You know, he's a teenage boy.

Sure.

He's not going to pick truffle oil.

They're not guzzling down truffle oil.

That's not the truth.

There's only one teenage boy I can think of who would have eaten truffle oil, and that was me.

Yeah, that was you.

Because I'm a precocious little Belen.

You would have had truffle oil, and you would have said, Mother, this isn't a nice truffle oil.

This isn't proper white truffle oil.

I don't like it.

I don't like the way it tastes in my mouth.

It doesn't make me feel good.

It doesn't make me feel nice.

Fetch me proper truffle oil.

Get out the truffle pig from the back.

Go truffle me some proper truffles and make the oil woman.

Bring me my 12th birthday cake.

So we don't think Noah's going to say truffle oil.

We hope we don't have to kick him out of the restaurant.

We're very excited to have him here.

I can't believe it.

This is the first of many.

We're going to get all the cast of Stranger Things.

No.

I can feel it in my bones.

Oh, what?

Oh, you think this is the first and we're going to tick them all off?

Oh, yeah, I think so.

We've got Will Buyers, baby.

This is one of the key players.

This means everyone else is going to follow suit.

That's the the first domino.

Once you got Will, everyone's like, okay, seems pretty safe.

He was the first on the upside down.

He's the first on off-menu.

I think the only way we get the rest of the cast involved, if it's anything like the show, is we do have to sort of kidnap Will Buyers.

And then

they come and look for us.

We somehow record a podcast with them when they come to rescue him.

Yeah, yeah.

They come into the off-menu realm dimension to try and find him.

And we're just like, pop it up some bread, kids.

Benito, the Demogorgon.

Yeah, that is what Benito looks like.

Everyone's always asking us: What does Benito look like?

He looks like a goddamn demigorgon who's woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

That's what Benito looks like.

Oh, he looks like a demigorgun on a bad day.

Know what I'm saying?

The Benegorgon.

The Benegorgon.

The great Benegorgono.

But now, let's hear the off-menu menu of Noah.

Noah Schnapp.

Welcome, Noah, to the Dream Restaurant.

Okay, yeah, thank you.

Welcome, Noah Schnapp, to the Dream Restaurant.

We've been expecting you for some time.

Okay, I'm excited to be here.

Here's what you need to know about that sound effect: is that James is a genie waiter for this.

Okay.

That means I can get you food from

wherever, from whenever, from your past, from your future.

Not for your future.

No one ever picks anything from their future, to be fair.

Very difficult to work out.

Wait, are you guys brothers or just friends?

No, it's both from England.

Just from A.

Do we?

Yeah, yeah, we think we look alike.

A little bit.

I don't think anyone's ever said that before.

Okay, maybe not.

I was just, maybe you don't look alike.

That was quite nice.

You could be brothers.

We could be brothers.

I think we both like how each other looks.

Yeah, I think so.

So that's a compliment for both of us.

I don't mind being compared to James.

Sure, that was quite nice.

That would be awful if you said that and then one of us was really offended and the other one wasn't.

Well, thank God you guys aren't ugly.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

That would be really scary.

Also, I mean, yo, I guess it's quite nice.

Family-run restaurants are are good.

So, if this was like our own dream restaurant and we're like the brothers running it, that's quite nice.

Two brothers.

Two brothers running a restaurant.

Well, good to know you're not brothers.

Yeah, you're in good hands.

Yeah.

And it's also at this point in the traditional ordering process in a restaurant that we'd ask the guest about any film projects they've got up and coming.

Yeah.

You know how every restaurant you go to, the waiter always says that.

Hey, what's going on with your film career at the moment?

I'm waiting for the food.

Maybe you might have been waiting for something else lately.

Yes.

Maybe on the big Well,

I have some stuff coming out.

There's a movie Waiting for Anya, which will be coming out soon, this weekend, I think.

And a movie, Abe, which I did, which will be coming out soon.

And then I filmed a movie this past summer with Adam Sandler, which will be coming out later.

Wow, you've been very busy.

Yeah, and then Stranger Things, I'll be starting filming soon.

So is that...

What season are you going to start coming?

I know season three is what we're four.

So you haven't filmed season four?

Not yet.

So we'll start that in a few months.

Very exciting.

People always come up to you with their theories about what's going on in Stranger Things.

Yeah, and I watch like YouTube videos of what people think.

Yes.

Some people are pretty close.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's some upside down.

But I can't say.

I've started watching that.

I'm into like fan theory videos, and I've started watching Stranger Things ones, and there's some interesting videos.

I mean, some of them, they're just like way, they overthink everything.

Wait, they're like, if it was this time, the clock in the background said two o'clock.

So there's two people that are going to die.

Like, some of them are crazy, but some of them are like pretty accurate.

Yeah, yeah.

Tell us a little bit about waiting for Anya as well.

Yeah, I mean, this movie is like a it's definitely a change of pace from Stranger Things.

It's like a World War II film.

Um, I filmed it in France, uh, it was it was really cool.

It was kind of like in the middle of nowhere, and and I play the main character, Joe, and yeah, I had a lot of fun filming it.

And you play a shepherd in the film, right?

Yeah, and so you were you were hanging out with the sheep?

Yes, that was pretty cool.

I really also like lived on a farm

because it was so middle of nowhere.

So I was like

hearing sheep all night.

It was weird, but it was cool.

So do I take it that we won't be hearing lamb on your menu?

Because you're friends with sheep now?

No, no, I love like good lamb chops.

Yeah.

So if anything, hearing the sheep at night made you hungry.

Yeah, I might have gone and eaten one.

Yeah, yeah.

So you just go out there, man.

A little bit of raw lamb.

Lovely stuff.

But we always start out first of all with still or sparkling water.

Definitely still.

Definitely still.

Yeah.

You hate sparkling water.

You hate it.

My dad always gets it, but I think it's gross.

Ah, now.

I feel like it's very fancy.

Like, I'm not fancy like that.

Sure.

Is that the main thing?

It's not the taste thing.

It's that you feel like it's like, who do you think you are?

No, it's also like.

It's so like, it's gross.

Yeah.

Don't you guys like it?

I would say that sometimes I like it.

Like if I'm thirsty, I'm not going to like

gulp down some sparkling water.

Sure.

You don't want to do that.

doesn't although some it's more of like a thing to like sip on and yeah be fancy to be seen drinking it exactly yeah but i don't need to be seen drinking that i just want to quench my thirst you want to gulp it down do you want do you want this cold water do you want it cold like really cold iced no actually i like it like pretty just because if it's too cold it like gives me a headache and shock i like just like a nice room temperature you don't want to be drinking it too fast but like a little cold yeah a little cold i'm like a little pick

Like a single ice cube?

Yeah, that sounds good.

The single cube.

What was the food like in France?

Well, where I was, I was in the middle of nowhere.

Right.

So there was really nothing.

But like in, I went to Paris for a weekend and they had a pretty nice food over there.

Lovely.

And then we went across the border to Spain and we had some food there and we went to this like Michelin star restaurant, which was really good.

Oh, amazing.

What did you have there?

I had

steak, I think.

It was a while ago.

I don't remember what I ordered.

Here you are saying you're not fancy and you're not having sparkling water and then suddenly you're in Michelin-style restaurants.

You pop-toke Spain to a Michelin-style restaurant.

Sometimes I like to be fancy.

Yeah.

That's okay.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Pom-adoms or bread.

Pop-a-doms or bread, Noah?

Yeah.

Pop-a-doms or a bread.

Now, this is confused a lot of our...

Yes, don't worry.

All of our American guests have been confused by this choice because pop-a-doms aren't necessarily as widespread a thing here.

Yeah, they're not a thing here, but most people would probably change it up when they go abroad and like change the question.

When is pomadoms or

popadoms

with an Indian meal, quite often before the main food.

Indian food, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, you'd get like a crispy thing that you put like chutney on and stuff.

So it's like a very light sort of crisp thing to start the meal.

So like when people bring it up.

Is that like marmite or is that something different?

Oh, yeah, it's different.

I heard that was a disgusting.

That's completely different.

Some people love it.

Some people love marmite.

I love marmarite.

Millie said that was was a disgusting.

Yeah, but some people love it, some people hate it.

Which they really play on.

That's the market.

So Millie's a hater.

Millie's a hater.

But I would be anti-Millie on that and be like, actually, I love it.

I think it's really.

What is it?

Marmite is like, well, a yeast extract.

It's a yeast extract.

We're not making it sound good.

But it's a spread that

you put it on bread and toast and stuff.

It's black, like tar.

They invented it when it was like a byproduct from the brewing industry.

So they'd make beer and then there'd be like this paste paste left at the bottom.

I mean, I'm putting myself off it now.

Yeah.

It's very, it's a very strong flavour.

It sounds disgusting.

Yeah, it does sound disgusting.

And I'll concede that, but

it is nice.

I would never eat it.

You would never eat it.

But like, you know,

maybe you should eat it and then you can go and say to me, I tried some of that Marmite.

You know, I should try it.

Yeah, yeah.

Actually, don't even eat it.

Just next time you see her, say, I had Marmite, and it was delicious.

And just see how long.

It gets her.

Yeah, see, yeah, she'll

go through the roof.

She'll be making you float through the sky.

My nose will be bleeding.

It'll be awful.

But basically, it's like when they bring along the bread before the meal, what would you like?

You can have the bread, the pop-a-doms, potatoes.

Do you like bread for meal?

Yeah, I like nice, like, warm bread.

Yeah.

Like, that's how I tell if, like, a restaurant is good, if the bread is, like, warm and nice.

And they bring like...

And I like my bread with olive oil and vinegar.

Lovely.

Okay, good choice.

Yeah, because that is the thing.

Sometimes before the meal, if they bring along the bread and it's cold, you kind of, the hopes for the meal start to sink a little bit.

Yeah, it feels like if it's like cold bread, it feels like I'm just like eating in my kitchen.

But if it's like warm bread, I feel like, ooh, like this is nice.

They've done this just for me.

Yeah.

Like if it's cold bread, they've just slung it out.

Exactly.

Just threw it in the thing and said it's nice.

Yeah.

Yeah, you want the nice.

But no butter on this bread.

Sometimes butter.

It depends how I'm feeling.

Usually not.

But sometimes like a nice, like in France, they have this amazing like salty butter.

Sometimes it's really good.

Yeah, but then I guess, yeah, it might remind you of when you lived on a farm and had to milk the cows.

That's true.

The salty butter in France is amazing because it's just chunks of salt.

Yeah, it's so good.

They do not care.

They do not care about the salt content of anything.

It's just huge lumps of salt.

Yeah, and that's the way you want.

I think if you're going to do butter, you've got to do it right and make it as unhealthy as possible.

That's true.

I mean, once it already is, like, who cares?

Yeah, exactly.

You're having butter, just pour a load of salt in it.

Yeah.

Pour some salt in might as well put sugar in it.

You can put sugar in there, make a cake out of it, put chocolate on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is the dream restaurant, though.

If you want to invent a new type of butter where we've got salt, sugar, and chocolate in it,

I will definitely get back to you on that.

So we come to your starter, your dream starter.

This can be something that maybe you've had this, but have you had this before in a different restaurant?

It could be from a specific place as well.

We should clarify.

Or again, one of your inventions.

One of Noah's

noah's crackpot inventions

i mean i like i i like caprese like a mozzarella with the tomato and yeah

um

i like soup but not for tonight no no soup tonight maybe like like i like nice dishes like like at no boo they have like all these like sharing dishes that are so good yeah i like the like they have they have this like thin

there's not gonna be a genre tonight it's gonna be a lot of different mix it up but But they have this thin fish with the thin white fish and

a sauce with jalapenos on top.

Oh, yeah.

That's so good.

So just like uncooked fish.

So like ceviche, right?

Like kind of, not really.

It's like on a platter and it's like a thin slice of like yellow tail fish with like jalapenos on it and like a sauce and it's so good.

That sounds amazing.

And that's a very light start to the meal as well.

Yeah, which I think is wise.

That's what you want.

Or like crispy tuna is so good.

Krispy tuna is good.

So you definitely want a fish starter.

You want a fishy...

Yeah, I feel like I'm at a sushi restaurant now.

Yeah, yeah, you want to start in the water.

It's kind of like evolution, and then you might come out of the water afterwards.

Yeah.

Is the meal going to represent the...

I mean, I guess we'll find out.

It's slowly evolving.

So Nobu is like a favourite place for you.

Well, yeah, it's really good.

I've never been, so what's it like?

What?

I've never been there.

It's so good.

No, I can't believe it.

I can't believe I've never been there.

I live in London.

Yeah.

There is there's a nobu in london is there yeah but no excuse on barclay street absolute zero excuse have you been i've been to nobu yes but you don't like it no i like it absolutely i don't hear you raving about it hey look i was waiting i was waiting for you to be get over the shock of james never having been i absolutely love it well you should definitely try it out the black the black miso cod the black miso code i've had that before that is so good is so good and that is the fanciest fish i think you could possibly get yeah no boo's a very like fancy was that the raven you were hoping to hear yeah yeah that That was good, wasn't it?

I saw it then.

It was like, oh, okay, back in the good book.

Yeah.

Now I'm on his side.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's okay.

We'll go.

Well, I'll take you to Nobu.

Thanks, man.

That's all right.

Oh, well, I'll come.

Yeah, you come along.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then we'll tell them we're brothers.

We're all brothers.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

Now that I teach you, you don't care if you don't look alike.

No, no, no.

Okay.

You two gotta look alike.

We could possibly be alone.

I don't think any of us look alike.

You both have brown hair.

Yeah.

Look, I was willing to go along with us looking alike Noah, and then

you really backed away from looking like me, me which was slightly offensive

We'll all be brothers that don't look alike.

Can you do an English accent?

Hello.

Hello.

That's no, you can't.

No, I cannot.

I want some Marmite.

Yeah.

I would like some Marmite.

Yeah.

I mean, that's a pretty good, actually.

I like that.

You sort of sound like you are English, but you've got some Marmite in your mouth.

Yeah, maybe I'm like joking a little bit.

Yeah, you're choking on the Marmite because you hate it.

Yeah.

Eating too much Marmite.

I'll also spread it very thinly, the Marmite.

If you do go and pretend to be...

Because it's so bad.

Yeah, yeah.

That's the sort of British way.

We know it's terrible, but we force ourselves to break it.

So why do people eat it?

Well,

it genuinely does taste nice to some people, myself included.

But if you have too much, it's too much of an open.

It's a strong flavour.

You need to balance it perfectly.

Although I spread it pretty thick.

I'm a thick spreader.

It's a thick spreader.

I'm a light spreader.

You don't seem on board with it at all.

But if you are going to pretend that you've been.

The more you talk about it, the less I want it.

Yeah, we're not making it sound good at anything.

I think fixed spreader and light spreader aren't really doing us any favours.

Throwing around freighters like that.

Especially if you appreciate the delicate flavour of a white fish in a sauce.

I don't think Marmite's going to be your sort of thing.

Reminds me of caviar.

Like it's like an acquired tea.

Yeah, I think so.

Sure, yeah.

But like, yeah, it's like it's cheaper than caviar.

Yeah.

Right, right.

It's like the less fancy version of caviar.

It's like the opposite end of the fancy scale.

Yeah.

It's the Walmart caviar, yeah.

The Walmart caviar.

You've set it up nicely with some light fish.

Okay.

And you're using...

Did you choose the Krispy Tuna or the yellow fin?

The Krispy Tuna.

The Krispy Tuna.

Okay.

From Nobu, is that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Great.

Lovely beginning.

So your main course?

My main course?

Okay.

I mean, I really love like a good filet mignon, like...

in the middle.

So maybe we are doing this like evolution thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're onto the land.

We're moving onto the land.

It's like a surf and turf, but like not really.

Yeah, yeah,

like a surf and turf in increments, little stages.

If we are doing going along evolutionary terms, that means at the moment your dessert is going to be human,

which I'm slightly scared about, but we'll get there when we get there.

A person for dessert.

We're not going to get in the way of that.

No, there'll be a real twist at the end of the episode if it turns out you're a cannibal, though, Noah.

Well, a chocolate human.

I'd rather do a chocolate human.

I think it's all right.

But so the filet mignon, and I was with the baby.

They baked mashed potatoes,

Brussels sprouts.

Uh-huh.

The steak, I was waiting with bated breath because we've had other people pick steak before and they've picked it well done.

No, oh, that's gross.

Good.

Absolutely correct.

Who picks well done?

Crazy, right?

There's people out there that.

They don't like all the good juice.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Awful potatoes.

I like it, like, not obviously like black and blue.

Like, I like it pink, but like more towards the less side.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, it can be a little tender and, like, it's good.

Yeah, you don't want to.

I mean, there is a point where, like, it gets to, it might as well not be cooked, and I don't like chimming it at all.

I know.

If it's, like, raw, that's gross.

Yeah, yeah.

I feel like that.

I'm into that.

Really?

I mean, I've never tried it.

Have you had steak tartare before?

Yeah, I think so.

I think it's.

Which is just straight up raw.

Yeah.

That's different, though, because they've cut it up all nice and you just get it.

Yeah, it's like not really.

It's not like eating a piece of meat.

Yeah.

Well, it is.

It's just a different shape.

But it's not like going to the grocery grocery store and pulling it out and

I wouldn't do that.

Oh I might do it actually.

You would do that.

Yeah, yeah, I would be honest.

As long as I was told it was safe, I'd probably march into a grocery store, whip the packet open and just chow down on a whole raw steak.

You would do it.

But I find it too chewy.

I don't get any flavor out of that.

But yeah, that pink, this pink and not too bloody.

I like a little, I like a bit of a blood.

A little bit of blood.

A little bit of seed now.

But that's what the juices are, Noah.

Not too much.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what those juices are that you were saying say.

I don't need blood.

I don't need blood.

You don't need blood.

Oh, I hate to break it to you.

Some of those juices coming out of the steak.

Well, I don't want it to look like blood.

I don't want to know it's blood.

We could dye it a different color for you in the dream restaurant if that would help.

That sounds better.

It could be blue blood or something?

No, maybe like a non-colored one.

Okay.

Just like a juice-looking

steak juice.

Transparent.

Okay, not like water, just whatever steak juice looks like.

Like when you...

Like brown, like a browny kind of.

Yeah.

That sounds like poop.

I don't know.

Whatever normal color it is.

You want poop in your steak.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's good.

With a little human.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Marmite, put it all together.

Perfect powder, yeah.

Is there a place where like is your favorite steakhouse you've been to?

Steak restaurant?

Maybe it's Mission Star place you went to, but like...

I don't know.

I've had like...

There's not a specific place, but I've had some pretty good steaks in like random places.

Yeah.

But no, like, steakhouse or anything.

Right.

Do they cook you food like that like on set if you're on set for a film or on a TV show?

Well depends I've been like there was this one movie it was called Bridge of Spies and it was with Steven Spielberg Tom Hanks and that was like had like the most amazing food I've ever had it was like they had like at lunch it was just like platters of like you can go into different it was like international cuisine with different like there was big platters of lobster and steak and for dessert big like wedding cakes it was like crazy wedding cakes yeah like huge cakes

get a wedding cake and then there's other things where it's like you just go to a food truck and you get like an egg sandwich.

So there's like,

sometimes you get lucky.

So why was Budget Spice?

But imagine if you got Hanks on board.

They're going high-end for the food, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's why.

Yeah.

Hanks has a bit of sway.

I bet Hanks even had a secret room where there was more.

Even better.

Yeah.

Is he as nice as he comes across?

Yes, he's very nice.

I'd be tempted to like if I was like, if I met Tom Hanks and he was like super nice and just like chatting to me for a while and was real nice, I'd like to go at the end, you're not so nice, and then walk away.

I mean again his head.

This is why James doesn't get a lot of acting work.

Yeah, yeah.

I'd go, you're not so.

I heard you were nice, and then walk away and then see how much wedding cake I get.

But then you would go back.

You can't just leave him like that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd have to go back and go, that was just a little experiment.

And then like apologise to it.

Well, if someone did that to me, I'd be a little worried.

Sure.

I wouldn't do it to you.

I think I saw Bitch of Spies before I saw Stranger Things.

Yeah.

So who are you in Bitch of Spies?

Oh, I'm like a I played his son.

I was in like a few scenes.

Yeah, so you're at the dinner table?

Yeah.

Yeah, because there's those dinner table scenes of Hanks and he's like, I'm going to go.

And his wife's like, oh, don't go then.

Yeah, I don't remember.

It was so long ago.

I was like, I turned 10 on that set.

And my dad took a video of me, like, Tom Hanks bringing out cake to me.

Oh, Hanks brought out the cake.

And did you look at him and go, that's so nice.

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

It's great that your main memory of that appears to be the cake.

Yeah.

The whole shoot, the cake.

Yeah, but I don't love cake.

Do you not?

I'm not a big cake fan.

Did you tell Tom Hans that when he bought it?

No, I threw it in his feet.

Yeah.

He said, I don't want cake.

This is not my favourite, Tom.

Here's a question that people will be desperate for us to ask.

What do you eat in the upside down?

Oh, yeah.

Bugs?

I don't know, whatever's there.

I think that's what Will was eating.

Snails.

That sounds quite nice.

Snails is nice of a bit of guns.

Snails prepared in the right way with a bit of garlic butter.

No, not your sort of thing.

Because it would remind you of the upside down.

Yeah, I know what you think about that.

Texture back there.

I'm trying to think.

Maybe like worms.

Anything that would then just crawl in and out.

Easily anything gross.

Yeah.

If you're hanging out in that.

Like, there's no fancy steak in the upside down.

Yeah, you're not getting that.

You're not getting sparkling water.

You're getting flat.

Yeah.

If you do get steak, I imagine it's just completely, it's the raw kind of raw eat out the packet.

Like, you just have to.

No, I think it's the animal.

You just grab the animal.

Oh, yeah.

And it's the same thing.

So it's not even the raw wild.

Oh.

Yeah, like in us, when all the people

who are living underground are eating the rabbits raw.

Have you seen us, Noah?

No.

Well, don't see it now because he's spoiled.

I don't want to see it.

Eating the rabbits raw.

Yeah, it's like rabbits just hopping around and then people are picking them up and just eating them.

Oh my god.

No, you're so gross.

Do you not enjoy that sort of scary stuff?

Eating raw rabbits?

Yeah.

No, not specifically that.

I meant like horror films and stuff.

Oh, no, I love horror films.

You love horror films.

Yeah.

Well, it's a very good horror film.

Yeah.

But people do eat a raw rabbit.

Yeah.

You don't see it.

I mean, I would never do that.

No, maybe

it's fine if you can wrap it up alive and eat it.

Well, maybe one day.

Yeah.

Haven't done it yet.

Tastes develop as you get older.

Yeah, you know, it's going to acquire tastes.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like Marmite.

Raw rabbit is like Marmite.

It might be for a role.

I'm still like liking it even less now.

Yeah, yeah.

You now compared it to eating a raw rabbit.

So your side?

My side dish.

And maybe like asparagus or something.

Oh, yeah?

Actually, no, I don't.

No?

Did you say that because you wanted to seem healthy and then realize that you don't want asparagus?

I don't know.

I'm trying to think, like, what would be...

There's a problem with asparagus.

Yes.

Which is two hours later,

your piss stinks.

Oh, yeah.

Explain that, Ed?

I mean, it'd be awful if it stinks or stings.

Stinks.

Not stings.

It shouldn't be stinging.

Stinks, no, no, no, no.

That's not.

That is something that imagine if I was the only person that this has happened to.

Sting or stink?

Stink.

Oh, no, no, that.

That happens, right?

It does.

Because when I said it, when I said that.

And then mine always does.

Okay, good.

Oh, yeah.

Because honestly, when I said it, you looked at me like, what the hell is this guy talking about?

Yeah, which I was delighted.

Well, I don't usually eat asparagus.

I thought it made your poop green or something.

Does it?

I thought that's what it did.

I've never heard that before.

Or is that like broccoli or something?

I don't think anyone.

Something did that to me.

Beetroot makes it purple.

That's it.

Oh, now everyone's staring at me.

Beetroot makes your dumps purple.

So that's a thing.

What does Marmite do?

Oh,

it's awful.

It goes out the same way it went in.

Yeah,

you can't tell the difference.

You just start spreading again.

I've got to say, we've lasted way longer than we normally do before we become absolutely gross knowers.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, we're on our best behavior.

You know, you're a teenager.

We don't want to be so

boring.

So we try to be role models.

But look at us now.

Some people can't smell asparagus pea.

I don't think that's true.

Some people.

What?

So the thing is,

for a long time, it was

some people, if they eat asparagus, their pea smells.

Other people, if they eat asparagus, their pea doesn't smell.

But then they discovered what it is is it all smells but some people can smell it and some people can't smell it so some people

for me i it just always smells yeah your pea always smells your pea always smells or your asparagus

no my regular pea sure

i'm never like smelling it and it's like hmm heavenly yeah sure

i guess i see your point it but smells worse than usual after i'll try it and yeah have some trips and then you go oh i see i'll pee this morning yeah tomorrow morning and then tomorrow night i'll pee again and sniff and see which ones are fine.

And if you could publish your results online, that would be great as well.

I'll make sure to do that.

Thank you so much.

But you don't want asparagus as your side dish.

No.

I guess people in the past have had things like,

I mean, fries, mac and cheese.

I don't like fries.

Mac and cheese is good when I don't try fries.

No, I like fries, but not for this meal.

Okay, fair enough.

Okay.

When would you have fries?

I don't know if you're going to left on that.

Look at that.

Like, I don't know, like with a burger or something.

Yeah.

But not with a steak and like fancy.

Okay.

So we're going for a fancy meal.

Yeah.

So not a mac and cheese either.

Well mac and cheese is good when it has like the breadcrumbs and many cheese.

I like it with ketchup.

It's so good with ketchup.

Now this is so you went fancy and then we squirted ketchup all over the top of it.

Okay, well maybe not for this meal.

I won't do that.

No, you can do that if you like.

I like it.

You're a man of contradictions.

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean no one's watching.

I'll put the ketchup on you.

Yeah, yeah.

It doesn't matter.

You can, yeah.

No one's judging.

I can't eat mac and cheese without ketchup.

Okay.

You can't eat it without it.

You have to have it on there.

Yeah.

Okay.

So if you were to have mac and cheese as your side dish, we haven't officially made that because I suggested that.

I don't want to back you into a corner here.

Ed,

plant the idea in your head.

Yeah, so if you were to have mac and cheese, we could of course get you ketchup with that.

But which side dish would you like?

I'll go with the mac and cheese.

You go with the mac and cheese.

Yeah.

Okay.

With the ketchup.

Or maybe like sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato fries.

Sweet potato fries.

The classier fry.

Yeah, those are good.

So you would like absolutely not have macros and fries.

I just don't really go with this meal.

Yeah.

Okay, I'll go back to the mac and cheese.

Would you like, here's what we can do for you.

So you're a special guest.

We can bring you mac and cheese and then when you dig down into it, you find out there's sweet potato fries on the bottom layer.

Oh, yeah.

A little bed.

Sounds good.

Yeah.

Maybe.

You don't seem sure?

It sounds good.

It sounds interesting.

Sounds interesting, but not.

Sounds like one of those fancy dishes that like chefs try to make all fancy with special ingredients and it's like gross.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you think it's gross?

So don't have that.

You know when like a chef puts like a basic dish and then puts all this random stuff in it and makes it like fancy, but it's not really good.

Right, yeah, like a gourmet version of like a Big Mac or something.

Like if you have pancakes and they make it like spinach truffle pancakes and it's like not good.

Yeah.

Like I just wanted pancakes.

Are you a fan of truffle as a flavor?

No, I don't.

Too much that.

I'm over it.

I I used to like it.

I used to think it was brilliant.

Now

yeah, yeah.

No, thank you.

I think they actually do sell a truffle marmite if you're interested.

Oh, yeah.

That's worst of both worlds.

Paradise?

Have you just woken up in Paradise now?

I think the opposite.

Yeah.

So, have we decided on mac and cheese with ketchup?

Yeah.

Excellent.

Cheese with ketchup.

And bread and bread crumbs.

Is ketchup your favourite of all the condiments?

Yeah, definitely.

Ketchup goes on so many things.

Across the board.

Eggs.

Eggs.

So good.

And what else?

Yeah, let's continue.

Look at this list.

Sandwiches, sandwiches.

Fish or no.

Fish?

No.

No, first.

Fish and ketchup.

That does not go together.

Okay.

Quick fire now.

I'm going to name foods to you, and you say yes or no if you would have ketchup on it.

Okay.

Okay, ready?

Here we go.

Burger.

Yeah, so off your.

Cereal.

No.

Already running out of ideas.

Spaghetti.

Yeah, I used to eat that a lot.

Pie.

Pie?

It depends on the pie.

I'm not telling you what's in it until you answer.

You've just got to put the ketchup on or leave the ketchup off, and then you find out what's in the pie.

Good, because it was a cherry pie.

And you would not have enjoyed it.

That's terrible.

Yeah.

Pizza?

Yeah.

No, no, no.

That sounds gross.

Lasagna.

Yeah.

It's good so far.

Spaghetti and meatballs.

Yeah.

Yeah, you've done spaghetti.

I've said spaghetti.

Yeah, but I have meatballs in it now.

If you're coming up with a quickfire list, you need to know what's going to be on the list before you say it, because otherwise it's not quickfire.

I'll think up the top of my head.

It's quickfire all over the place.

You're also involved in the quick fire.

Okay.

Coca-Cola.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You would put ketchup in Coca-Cola?

I'd try it.

You'd try it.

Okay.

Yeah, that's fair.

Adventurous.

Ketchup.

Ketchup, yeah.

What's ketchup?

Oh, my ketchup thing?

Yeah, yeah.

Ketchup.

Ketchup, but baby.

Cook up.

Huh?

Cook-up?

No, no, no.

No, ketchup.

Yeah, yeah.

Sausages.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good idea.

I don't like sausage.

I had them once, I threw up, and I never have them anymore.

Sausages?

Yeah.

You had had sausages once and you threw up.

Yeah, when I was a younger.

And ugh.

I do love sausages.

It was like at home.

It was like from the freezer.

Oh, you didn't cook them?

Well, I'm sure they were cooked.

I didn't cook them.

I was young.

That would be a reason for you to throw up afterwards if you'd just eat them like a big popsicle.

Well, I had like a big stomachache the whole night and then I just threw it up.

So then I was like, no more sausage.

So now every time I see sausage, I just like throw up a little.

Yeah.

Because to be fair as well, like sausages are very like.

I think if you threw that up, because there's a lot of things that I could throw up and I'd still be able to eat afterwards.

But like, I think sausages, once you've seen them in vomit form, that's it.

I mean, they already look like vomit form, yeah, they're already too close to

sometimes it's good, like some like a nice, like spiced one, like is good, right?

But in general, they make you think of vomit, yeah, and so you wouldn't want to have them.

No,

fair enough, but ketchup, yes, yeah, yes, roast chicken,

yeah,

put it on a roast chicken.

Yeah, for sure.

How about breadage chicken?

Every time I think you've run out of foods, you seem to pull another one out.

I'm a man of many, I know so much about food.

Just know a lot about food, and I'm able to find out all these dishes that know and he can tell me if he had ketchup on him or not.

I just love the idea of, you know, Noah's got a lot of interviews today.

He's talking about this film that he's starring in, talking about, you know, all these different things he's doing.

And then at the end of the day, he has to go.

And then a man from England asked me what foods I would put ketchup on or not.

No, I mean, that's the most important.

Like, why do you put ketchup on?

Yeah, this is the most, this is the one that no one's going to go home and tell everyone about.

Yeah.

It's true.

The most memorable interview of the day.

What my asparagus pee smelled like.

Yeah.

They might have been brothers, they might not have been.

Humans for dessert.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a lot of stuff.

You've learned a lot about Marmite.

Marmite throw up.

Yeah.

I think you have a YouTube channel, right?

Yes.

I think you trying Marmite for the first time would go big, especially, especially if you...

But it's so like fast.

Like, it would only be a minute, and then what?

Oh, no.

I don't know.

It's a lot of build-up to it.

But I hate videos, like, where it's like one thing, and then they spend 20 minutes building it up, and then I have to, like, skip to the part I actually wanted to see.

Well, you could do loads of different British foods.

You could do haggis.

Do you know what that is?

Oh, God, here we go.

It's all like...

You're going to want ketchup on this, mate, let me tell you.

What is that?

It's like a Scottish, it's a Scottish dish traditionally.

It's like sort of innards.

It's cow innards, all minced up with oats, and then they put it in a sheep's stomach and then boil it.

Again, is it real?

Yeah, that's real.

Again, I like it.

It's really good.

And black pudding, if you're...

It's horrified.

You look absolutely horrified.

That can't be real.

That's real.

That's fee.

That's going in the video as well.

Ask MBB about it.

Black pudding.

What's it called?

Hagga?

Haggis.

Haggis.

Haggis.

Black pudding.

Have you heard of that?

I've heard of pudding.

Well, this ain't your regular pudding, Noah.

This is congealed pig's blood.

No.

Yeah.

What country is this?

I feel like you're lying to me.

No, honestly.

Honestly, you can look it up after we finish recording.

What does that even mean?

It's like a hockey puck.

It's sort of like a big sausage, really, so you're already on rough ground.

There we go.

Yeah.

But it's like, yeah, congealed pig.

It's just pig's blood.

Just blood?

Yeah, but it's like solid and then you would fry it.

Yeah.

People have it for breakfast.

It looks like a hockey puck, but if you'd eat it and it was made of blood.

It's a bloody puck.

I'm speechless.

It's a bloody puck.

I don't know who in their right mind would eat that.

Ask Millie about all of this.

I'm sure she doesn't eat it.

I'm sure she's not eating that.

No, I'm sure she's not eating it, but I think.

That's like Vikings eat that.

Yeah, yeah, sort of like Vikings.

That's a kind of Viking-y food.

A lot of people in Britain haven't really gotten over the Viking era.

I can tell.

Yeah.

Still into it, food-wise.

Have you eaten that?

I love all of those things.

No.

Yeah, I love haggis.

You You have haggis with mashed turnips and mashed potato and put gravy all over it.

It's delicious.

Oh my god.

I've had those things.

I like haggis and I like marmite.

I liked black pudding for a while.

Because you guys have these like terrible foods, Marmite isn't that bad.

Yeah, that's what I think is a good thing.

That's why you compare it to like all this crazy like blood and stomachs.

Like, oh, it's just Marmite.

Yeah.

Just ash.

Suddenly you'll be more open-minded and eat some Marmite after you've eaten

dry blood and mashed up stomachs yeah kind of all right I get it now yeah it's upside-down food yeah yeah yeah it's all upside-down food that's what he would eat in the upside yeah he would eat

and black food

your favorite drink now we come to your favorite drink of the meal

your dream drink a water I don't know are we back on milk are we back on morning for dinner usually I have water maybe for breakfast I have like a smoothie

or a juice.

But dinner, like, there's no, like, I feel like there's no dinner drink unless I'm older and have like wine.

Uh-huh.

Oh, sure, because I guess most people we've had on this show will choose an alcoholic drink at this point.

Yeah.

We've had some people choose non-alcoholic ones, but not many.

Tea, like iced tea we've had.

Iced tea.

Iced on dinner then.

So for dinner, you'd always have a drink.

And it's like a fancy restaurant.

You don't have any iced tea.

It's either like wine or like a scotch.

But like, I'm too young for that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't start.

Don't start.

Have you ever had any of those things?

No.

You've never had alcohol?

I mean, no.

Yeah?

Never.

No, you've never done it ever.

I mean, maybe I'll try it one day.

Uh-huh.

That's the best answer you could give.

Yeah, very

smart.

So

wouldn't you have like a Diet Coke or something or a soda?

And this doesn't have to be a fancy restaurant, by the way.

This is your dream restaurant.

No one's judging you.

You can drink whatever you have.

It is a fancy restaurant.

Oh, okay, because that's what you've established.

Yeah.

It's very fancy.

You can have Diet Coke there.

Yeah, okay.

There's just the wine list.

That's all there.

But you shut that immediately and say.

I mean, they'll give it to me, though, because it's in Europe and they won't care.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

So even though you've never had wine before,

apparently.

You try it now.

You're going to try wine for this meal.

Yes.

So you're going to have a.

This is the first time I think we've had someone order something that's the first drink, yeah.

So you're going to have.

Wait, do you want a glass or a bottle?

Definitely a bottle.

Yeah.

Two bottles of wine.

Do you want one red, one white, so you can taste the difference?

Yeah.

One rainbow.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, you're mixing them?

Yeah.

Perfect.

Great.

Can you do that?

No, I don't think it would be nice.

Legally, yeah.

Yeah, legally, yeah.

No, no, no, no, no, no, stop you.

But it wouldn't taste that great.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

So red and a white.

Red and a white.

Do you want a glass or do you just want straws?

No, no, no straws.

This is a fancy restaurant.

It's a fancy restaurant.

I forgot.

I keep forgetting how fancy it is.

One of those straws that goes twirly straws that goes round and round and round.

Yeah, like the glasses, you can put them on.

They're like glasses.

Have you seen those?

They don't allow that at our restaurant.

They're banned.

You have to hand them in at the door.

And there's a dress code at this restaurant.

What are you wearing for the meal?

A suit.

A fancy suit.

Fancy, fancy suit.

What colour?

Just like a black, like classic suit.

Oh, yeah.

You must have fancy suits now, right?

So you've got to go to like awards to do some things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But those are like fashion suits.

Like this restaurant, it wouldn't be like a fashion show.

It would just be like, you have to to be dressed nice.

So it's like a proper dress code.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay you and the other kids in Stranger Things are all going into this fancy restaurant together.

Who are you most worried about being not fancy and ruining the fancy vibe?

You know, I think Gayton he's like he plays Dustin with the curly hair.

Yep.

I think I'm be a little worried for him.

Yeah, he's gonna clown around?

Yeah.

Because he's like a funny guy.

I feel like he'd like forget that we have to dress nice.

sure,

and then Millie would be like overdressed, right?

So, like, also, the dress code: there's you have to be dressed a certain way, but you can't overdress.

Yeah, there's like a window of how fancy it's supposed to look.

It's like in the middle, yeah, okay, good.

Yeah, and there's a smart black suit, but you could wear nice sneakers with it as well.

Yeah, so your drink is a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine.

Yes, yeah, perfect, great.

I chose to get my degree at ASU because I knew that I'd get a quality education, they were recognized for excellence, and that I would be prepared for the workforce upon graduating.

And so we arrive at your dessert.

Okay.

It's my favourite of all the courses, always.

Of course.

Ed not as keen.

Sometimes guests side with Ed on this.

I'm crossing my fingers.

Look, I like a dessert.

I just he would skip to the dessert every time if he could.

If it was socially acceptable, he'd go to a restaurant and order three desserts.

Well, there we go.

Yeah, boy.

Okay, so you're a dessert?

I do like dessert, but I think I prefer savory stuff.

I get that, though.

Yeah, I like that.

I respect his decisions to a point, but like, you know,

life is for living.

Am I right?

No, life is for living.

Exactly.

So, your dream dessert, this is the big closer of the meal.

It's one of your favourite courses.

You're in a fancy place.

What are you going to go for?

Definitely like a chocolate lava cake.

Ah.

Anything chocolate.

I will not have cheesecake.

No.

Or like anything coffee.

Like, it has to be chocolate.

It could be like a chocolate mousse, yeah, maybe a chocolate ice cream, but that's not that interesting.

Uh-huh.

So, I'd stick with the chocolate lava cake.

Chocolate lava cake, so you can't catch it.

Like a really rich one, yeah.

Like a little scoop of ice cream on the side or something, like a vanilla ice cream, yeah, yeah, with vanilla pods in it, like a proper vanilla, like fancy.

Yeah, because this is fancy, yeah, it's a fancy place.

And when you cut into it, is it how oozy is it?

Because you want it to ooze, right?

A little bit, but I don't like when it's too late, the whole cake is water.

I want something to eat.

Okay, so you almost want it cooked to the same level as your steak's been cooked.

Yeah, You want a sort of medium lava cake.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You would ask with a nice vanilla ice cream.

Yeah.

Yeah.

With like Madagascar vanilla.

Oh, you've specified the vanilla.

That's what we like to do.

Absolutely.

That is a move I respect a lot.

Whereas I like a rare lava cake.

I'll even walk into a store and I'll just eat a bag of flour and a bar of chocolate.

Yeah.

It would not do that.

They just rip into it.

Ed likes actual lava as well.

Eat that out of a suck it out of a volcano.

Straight away.

Love it.

Gobbling it up.

I think that's an amazing choice.

What else do people say?

People have said other, you know, other desserts.

Some absolutely horrendous people have said cheese and biscuits, and those people can go straight to hell.

But, like, you know,

we've had people say, you know, what, lemon tart?

Lemon tart, yeah.

No.

Cinnamon buns.

Oh, no, it's not.

Cinnamon rolls also.

No, it's not fat.

No, they won't get in this restaurant, that's for sure.

We won't let them in.

They can be outside.

Gaton can eat them outside on his own.

Have you got security on the door to stop people coming in?

There's going to be like another floor where you come in.

And if you get into the restaurant, you go like up the stairs or down the stairs.

Who have you got on the door?

Like the Rock or someone?

Demigorgan?

The Rock.

In like a nice suit.

Like two guys with their hands like this.

Yeah.

There's a dress code for them as well.

And they have like glasses on and they're like fancy.

And they have those little earpieces.

Yeah.

And maybe a Demogorgon in a suit as well, right?

Maybe a Demogorgon.

Maybe.

Well, no, maybe

a whole suit on a Demi Gorgon, but you could probably get him to wear like

a pair of little underwear and

the collar and just the bow tie, like strippers wear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think like the demigorgen will probably wear that.

Yeah, maybe.

You can get that around its neck.

That's not fancy, though, is it?

Just the collar and the bow tie.

Demi-Gorgon is like a stick.

It's just across the street.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just like a strip club over there.

Yeah, yeah.

And the demigorgon could be over there.

I mean, I wouldn't really want to see a demigorgen stripper, actually.

Oh, God.

Just realising.

No, it's not good.

It's a bit scary.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I went to the.

I mean, some people have their types.

I went to the Stranger Things Secret Cinema Club thing they're doing in London, and there was a Demogorgon there.

Was he wearing underwear and a bow tie?

Oh, you only saw him briefly.

The lights flashed on, and my eyes didn't drift down, but I hope he had some underwear on.

Yeah, I hope so too.

At that point, we haven't asked that.

We asked what other cast members were like.

What's the Demogorgon like off-camera?

Nice.

Actually, quite nice.

He's a little difficult.

Yeah.

Yeah, he really, the Demogorgon is like, always needs his

fancy food, his bow tie,

his underwear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Noah's been very polite there.

I've been saying Demogorgon, right?

And he said Demogorgon right there.

You've been saying Demi Gorgon, which is not scary because that's only half a Demogorgon.

What?

Oh, Demogorgon.

Oh, yeah.

Demogorgon.

No, Demi Gorgon would say, oh, it's half a Gorgon.

I'll hold my hands up.

I've always thought it was Demi Gorgon.

That's what I've always thought.

I've watched all three seasons.

I've been saying Demi Gorgon in my head.

Wait, is it Demi Gorgon?

Demogorgon, right?

Dema.

Well, Demi.

You should know, Noah.

Demi Gorgon.

Whatever you say it is.

Noah's reading the scripts and saying them on camera, so I think Noah would know better than you, Ed.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm having to know now.

Yeah.

Well, we'll look it up afterwards, along with you're going to look up Haggis, Black Pudding, and Marmite.

Maybe.

Yeah.

I mean, you're going to have an absolutely horrific search history at the end of this.

Yeah.

Everyone going through is going to be like, what is he looking at?

Yeah, yeah.

Been worried about Noah, everybody.

I'm going to read your order back to you now, see how you feel about it.

Okay.

You would like still room temperature water with a single ice cube in it to start off with.

You would like warm bread with olive oil and vinegar.

And you would like the crispy tuna with jalapenos from Nobu.

Your main course, you'd like a filet mignon steak, medium rare with mashed potatoes and brussels.

Yes.

Your side dish, mac and cheese with ketchup.

No sweet potato fries.

With breadcrumbs on top of it, make sure it's crumbed.

Drink, you would like two bottles of wine, one red and one white.

Dessert, you would like chocolate lava cake with some Madagascan vanilla ice cream.

Yes.

That's a solid menu.

That sounds very nice.

It's fancy.

I would go to that restaurant.

It'd be awful if we got to the end of this and you went, that sounds horrible.

Click that.

That's awful.

Thank you very much for coming to the dream restaurant, no.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

I had a great meal.

Oh, glad to hear it.

You're welcome back anytime.

Thank you so much.

And there we have it.

What a fancy menu.

Fancy, fancy, fancy.

Super fancy, man.

And what I liked about it is, yes, it was fancy.

He came up with a dress code for the restaurant, which I don't think anyone's really done before.

No, not enough people have done it.

He had some people there with him dining.

It was in a basement.

Yeah, it was.

It's a fancy asset.

People on the door.

Dormen.

He had doormen.

Yes, it was fancy, but he also still stay true to his roots.

Catch up on the Mac.

Catch up on the Mac, absolutely.

Yeah.

Catch up all over the Mac.

What I liked as well is that he said, no sparkling water, too fancy.

And everybody else, this has to be fancy.

He had a very sad idea.

Yes, lovely rule.

And what he didn't say, despite the fact that you tried to push it on him, James.

Yeah, I was trying to get him.

This is, this, this, it would be funny.

This kid is in one of the best TV shows, right?

It was so great to have him on.

So excited to have him on.

And you were trying to get him kicked out of the restaurant by pushing truffle oil on him.

Was it a rush?

He was in a rush today.

He had loads of stuff.

I thought, Joe, it'll do him a favor if I chuck him out of the restaurant.

It'd be pretty funny if I'm like, maybe some truffle oil.

He goes, yeah, truffle oil.

I go, get the fuck out of here, no shit.

I thought that would be amusing.

It wouldn't have been amusing if you'd screamed the F-word at a 15-year-old's face.

Yeah, well, it would have been pretty bad, but he's already shook up because we had the Benigorgon working on here.

He was looking over at that, going, Oh, no, this brings back.

Not again.

No, what is he doing here?

This is even worse than the Demogorgon.

I can't believe they let the Benigorgan on.

The Demigorgan used to moan about him to me.

When I was in the Upside Down, the Demigorgan would go, hey, kid,

you're in that tree house.

I'd be like, yeah, why?

What have you got in store for me now, Demigorgan?

I'm not going to rag on you.

I just haven't a little bit of time.

I just spoke to my cousin, Benagorgan.

He's just saying to me how he's working on this podcast.

He's just winged it all the time.

He doesn't like the nickname they've given him.

I just want to, do you know what?

Sometimes it just really wears me down.

I know I'm meant to love him.

His family's family.

But do you know what I mean?

Have you ever any family members like that, kid?

Oh, I don't know.

I've got my mum worries about me quite a lot.

Well, okay, but listen, I would actually welcome that over the Bennegorgan.

This guy, you have no idea how much he drains me.

He's just like, I talk to him.

He's like, oh, I want to edit that out of our conversation.

But I'm like, listen, Benegorgon, you can't edit out live.

He says, I'm your brother.

I'm your cousin.

I'm often up to you here.

Nearly, brother, there, wasn't it?

Oh, sometimes I get confused.

Us Demogorgons, we all look alike, apart from the Bene Gorgon, who looks very grumpy all the time.

Anyway, kid, I'll see you later.

I'm going to terrorize you later on, but you got to sleep.

I got to be honest, the Benegorgon's just looking quite tired now.

Yeah, Benegorgon really fumbling.

Pretty angry and tired.

He zoned out so much, Jared.

He's zoned out, Jared.

That was about four and a half minutes.

Listen back to it.

Yeah.

So, thank you very much for listening.

He didn't say Truffle Oil.

Luckily.

Very lucky he didn't.

It was lovely to have a chat with him.

It was a good menu.

And obviously, watch Stranger Things, but you're all watching that anyway.

His film, Waiting for Anya, comes out on Friday in the UK Cinemas.

And he also mentioned a couple of other films there.

He's done one with Adam Sandler.

He's done one called Abe.

Keep looking out for those.

Keep your eyes peeled full of them.

Also, we've got loads more New York episodes coming up and LA episodes also.

Our American trip is not done yet.

It won't just give you one little episode.

There's going to be so much more.

It's basically like snapshots of our holiday.

Little snapshots of our holiday.
