Speaker 1 Welcome to the Off Menu Podcast. Thank you, Ed Gamble.
Oh, thank you very much, James A. Castor.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 And record some podcasts while we're here. And we've Benito's been very hard at work booking a load of guests on little Benuti.
Beniti Benito has been beavering away.

Speaker 1 We're going to call him Book Nito because he's booked so many bloody guests. Yes, yes.
So we have many, many guests coming to you from New York. But today, the first one of those, very exciting.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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 I'm all for.

Speaker 1 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.
Brokeback Mountain. Oh, okay, not seen it.

Speaker 1 Great film. Two shepherds in that.
Oh, they're sheepherders, really. I thought they were cowboys.
Yeah, yeah. But they're also like shepherds, they're like looking after the sheep, I believe.

Speaker 1 I think it's the sheep. Yeah, I think they're sheepherders.
Yeah. Which is where the word shepherd comes from, Ed.
It's sheep herd. Herd sheep.
Hey, James, I genuinely didn't know that. Thank you.

Speaker 1 So he's playing a shepherd in that. Stranger Things got another film coming out called Abe.
He's a busy, busy boy, so we were very lucky to get a little bit of time with him to ask him about James.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh, yes. We asked him his favourite ever starter main course, dessert, side dish, and drink.
We did indeed.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Truffle oil, which we did nearly pick for Anthony Head earlier in the series.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You know, he's a teenage boy. Sure.
He's not going to pick truffle. They're not gussing down truffle oil.
That's not the thing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 and truffle me some proper truffles and make the oil woman.

Speaker 1 Bring me my 12th birthday cake.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This is the first of many. We're going to get all the cast of Stranger Things.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This means everyone else is going to follow suit. That's the first domino.
Once you got Will, everyone's like, okay, seems pretty safe. He was the first on the upside down.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 they come and look for us. We somehow...
Record a podcast with them when they come to rescue him. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We'd have to like, 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But now, let's hear the off-menu menu of No.

Speaker 1 Schnapp.

Speaker 1 Welcome, Noah, to the Dream Restaurant. Okay, yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 Welcome, Noah Schnapp, to the Dream Restaurant. We've been expecting you for some time.
Okay, I'm excited to be here.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Wait, are you guys brothers or just friends? No, it's both from England. Just from?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That was quite nice. I think you could be brothers.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Also, I mean, yo, I guess it's quite nice. Family-run restaurants are good.
So if this was like our own dream restaurant and we're like the brothers running it, that's quite nice. Two brothers.

Speaker 1 Two brothers running a restaurant. Well, good to know you're not brothers.
Yeah, you're in good hands. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Maybe you might have been waiting for something else lately. Yes.
Maybe on the big stuff. Well,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then I filmed a movie this past summer with Adam Sandler, which will be coming out later. Wow.
So you've been very busy. Yeah, and then Stranger Things, I'll be starting filming soon.

Speaker 1 So is is that what season are you going to start coming? I know season three is.

Speaker 1 So you haven't filmed season four. Not yet.
So we'll start that in a few months. Very exciting.
Do people always come up to you with their theories about what's going on in Stranger Things?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm into like fan theory videos, and I've started watching the Stranger Things ones. And there's some interesting things.
I mean, some of them, they're just like way, they overthink everything.

Speaker 1 Wait, they're like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, tell us a little bit about waiting for Anya as well. Yeah, I mean, this movie is like a, it's definitely a change of pace from Stranger Things.
It's like a World War II film.

Speaker 1 I filmed it in France.

Speaker 1 It was really cool. It was kind of like in the middle of nowhere.
And I play the main character, Joe. And yeah, I had a lot of fun filming it.
And you play a shepherd in the film, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And so you were hanging out with the sheep? Yes, that was pretty cool. I really, I also like lived on a farm.
Oh, wow. Because it was so middle of nowhere.
So I was like

Speaker 1 hearing sheep all night. It was weird, but it was cool.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So if anything, hearing the sheep at night made you hungry.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I might have gone and eaten one. Yeah, yeah.
So you just go out there, man. A bit of raw lamb, lovely stuff.

Speaker 1 We always start out first of all with still or sparkling water. Uh, definitely still.
Definitely still. Yeah, you hate sparkling water.
You hate it. My dad always gets it, but I think it's gross.

Speaker 1 Ah, now.

Speaker 1 I feel like it's very fancy. Like, I'm not fancy like that.
Sure.

Speaker 1 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, ugh. It's so like, it's gross.
Yeah. Do you guys like it?

Speaker 1 I would say that sometimes I like it. Like, if if I'm thirsty, I'm not going to like

Speaker 1 gulp down some sparkling water. Sure.
You don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 It doesn't. Although sometimes...
It's more of like a thing to sip on and 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.

Speaker 1 You want to gulp it down?

Speaker 1 Do you want this cold water? Do you want it cold? Like really cold? Iced. No.
Actually, I like it.

Speaker 1 Pretty just because if it's too cold, it like gives me a headache. Sure.
I like just like a nice room temperature. You don't want to be drinking it too fast.
But like a little cold.

Speaker 1 You look at a little cold. I'm like a little picnic.

Speaker 1 Like a single ice cube? Yeah, that sounds good. It's a single cube.
What what was the food like in France? Well, where I was, I was in the middle of nowhere. Right.
So there was really nothing.

Speaker 1 But like in F I went to Paris for a weekend and they had a pretty nice food over there. Lovely.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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 star restaurants.

Speaker 1 You popped over to Spain to a Michelin star restaurant.

Speaker 1 Sometimes I like to be fancy. Yeah.
That's okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. Yeah.
Pop-a dumbs or bread. Pop-a-doms or a bread, Noah.
Yeah. Pop-a-doms or a bread.
Now, this is confused a lot of our

Speaker 1 American guests. All of our American guests have been confused by this choice because popadoms aren't necessarily as widespread a thing here.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 pop-adoms

Speaker 1 with an Indian meal, quite often before the main food?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So like when people put it in the middle. Is that like marmite or is that something different? Oh, Oh yeah, that's different.
I heard that was a disgust.

Speaker 1 That's completely different. Some people love it.
Some people love Marmite. I love Marmarman.
Millie said that was disgusting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like 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.

Speaker 1 But I would be anti-millie on that and be like, actually, I love it. I think it's like.
Really? Wait, what is it?

Speaker 1 Marmite is like, well, a yeast extract. It's a yeast extract.
We're not making it sound good, but it's a bad thing. It's a spread that

Speaker 1 you put it on bread and toast and stuff.

Speaker 1 It's black like tar. They invented it when it was like a by-product from the brewing industry.
So they'd make beer and then there'd be like this paste left at the bottom of the...

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm putting myself off it now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a very strong flavour. It sounds disgusting.
Yeah, it does sound disgusting.

Speaker 1 I'll concede that. But

Speaker 1 it is nice. I would never eat it.
Maybe if you never eat it, but like, you know,

Speaker 1 maybe you should eat it and then you can go and say to the millie, I tried some of that Marmite. You know, I should try it.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 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 she's going. It gets her.
Yeah, see, she'll go and satch you through the roof.

Speaker 1 She'll be making you float through the sky. Her nose will be bleeding.
It'll be awful.

Speaker 1 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, pre-milk. Do you like bread, pre-meal?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I like my bread with olive oil and vinegar. Lovely.
Okay, good choice. Yeah, because that is a thing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it feels like if it's like cold bread, it feels like I'm just like eating in my kitchen. But if it's like warm bread, I feel like, oh, like this is nice.
Yeah, they've done this just for me.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you want the nice.

Speaker 1 But no butter on this bread. Sometimes 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 right. That's true.

Speaker 1 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 it. Might as well put sugar in it.
You can eat sugar.

Speaker 1 Make a cake out of it. Put chocolate on it.
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.

Speaker 1 I will definitely get back to you on that.

Speaker 1 So we come to your starter.

Speaker 1 Your dream starter. This can be something that maybe you've had this, but have you had this before in a different restaurant?

Speaker 1 It could be from a specific place as well, we should clarify. Or again, one of your inventions.
One of Noah's

Speaker 1 crock pot inventions. Yeah, food inventions.
I mean,

Speaker 1 I like capressé, like a mozzarella with the tomato. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like soup, but not for tonight. No? No soup tonight.
Maybe like... Like, I like nice dishes.
Like...

Speaker 1 Like at Nobu, they have all these sharing dishes. They're so good.

Speaker 1 They have this this like thin.

Speaker 1 There's not going to be a genre tonight. It's going to be a lot of different.
Mix it up.

Speaker 1 But they have this like thin like fish with the like thin white fish and like a like a like a sauce with like jalapenos on top. Oh, yeah.
That's like so good. So it's like uncooked fish.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So you definitely want a fish starter. You want a fishy.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Is the meal going to represent the.

Speaker 1 I mean, I guess we'll find out.

Speaker 1 It's slowly evolving. Surprise.
So Nobi is like a favorite place for you. Well, yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 1 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.
It's like... I live in London.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 There is a Nobu in London. Is there? Yeah.
But, no excuse. On Berkeley Street.
Absolute zero excuse. Have you been? I've been to Nobu, yes.
But you don't like it? No, I like it. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 I don't hear you raving about it. Yeah, look,

Speaker 1 I was waiting for you to get over the shock of James never having been. I absolutely love it.
Well, you should definitely try it out.

Speaker 1 The black Miso cod. The black Niso.
Oh, I've had that before. That is so good.
It is so good. And that is the fanciest fish I think you could possibly get.
Yeah, Nobu's a very fancy.

Speaker 1 Was that the raven you were hoping to hear? Yeah. Yeah.
That was good, wasn't it? I saw it then. It was like, oh, okay.
Back in the good book. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now I'm on his side. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's okay.

Speaker 1 I'll take you to Nobu. Thanks, man.
That's all right. Oh, well, I'll come.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you come along. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we'll tell them we're brothers. We're all brothers.
Yeah. No, no, no.
Okay, now that I teach you, you don't look alike. No, no, no.
Okay.

Speaker 1 You two gotta look alike. We could pass for brown.

Speaker 1 I don't think any of us look alike. We both have brown hair.
Yeah. Look, I was willing to go along with us looking alike Noah and then

Speaker 1 you really backed away from looking like me, which was slightly offensive. No, no, no, we'll all be brothers.
We'll all be brothers that don't look alike. Can you do an English accent?

Speaker 1 Hello. Hello.
That's no, you can't. No, I cannot.

Speaker 1 I want some Marmite. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would like some Marmite. Yeah.
I mean, that's a great one, actually.

Speaker 1 I like that. You sort of sound like you are English, but you've got some Marmite in your mouth.
Yeah, maybe maybe I'm like joking a little bit. Yeah, you're joking on the Marmite because you hate it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 it genuinely does taste nice to some people, myself included. But like, if you have too much, it's too much of an oval.
It's a strong flavour. You need to balance it perfectly.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But you need to, 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.

Speaker 1 I think thick spreader and light spreader aren't really doing us any favours. No, absolutely.
From around freighters like that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's the Walmart caviar, yeah. The Walmart caviar.
So you've set it up nicely with some light fish. Okay.

Speaker 1 And you're using. Did you choose the Krispy Tuna or the yellow fin?

Speaker 1 The Krispy Tuna. The Krispy Tuna.
Okay. From Nobu, is that? Yeah.
Yeah. Great.
Lovely beginning.

Speaker 1 So your main course? My main course? Okay, I mean I really love like a good filet mignon like

Speaker 1 in the middle.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 like a surf and turf in increments, in little stages. If we are going along evolutionary terms, that means at the moment your dessert is going to be human.

Speaker 1 Which I'm slightly scared about, but we'll get there when we get there.

Speaker 1 A person for dessert. We're not going to get in the way of that.
No, there'd be a real twist at the end of the episode if it turns out you're a cannibal, though, Noah. Well, a chocolate human.

Speaker 1 I know, I could do a chocolate human. I think it's all right.

Speaker 1 But so the filet mignon, and I was with

Speaker 1 mashed potatoes,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Good guy, absolutely correct. Who picks well done? Crazy, right? There's people out there that like all the good juices.
Yeah, yeah, awful pieces.

Speaker 1 I like it, like, not obviously like black and blue, like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I feel like

Speaker 1 I'm into that.

Speaker 1 I mean I've never tried it. Have you had steak tartare before? Yeah, I think so.
I think it's just straight up raw. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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 like meat. Yeah.
Well, it is. It's just a different shape.

Speaker 1 But it's not like going to the grocery store and pulling it out. And

Speaker 1 to be fair, I wouldn't do that. Oh, I might do it, actually.
You would do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd be honest.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I don't get any flavor out of that. But yeah, that pink, just this pink and not too bloody.
I like a little. I like a bit of blood.
A little bit of blood. A little bit of seed now.

Speaker 1 But that's what the juices are, Noah. Not too much.
Yeah, yeah. That's what those juices are that you would think.

Speaker 1 I don't need blood.

Speaker 1 I 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 No, maybe like a non-colored one. Okay.
Just like a juice-looking

Speaker 1 steak juice. Transparent.
Okay, not like water, just whatever steak juice looks like. Like when you...
Like brown, like a browny kind of. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's like poop. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Whatever normal color it is. You want poop in your steak.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm going to do. It's a little human.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Marmite.

Speaker 1 Put it all together.

Speaker 1 The perfect powder, yeah.

Speaker 1 Is there a place where like it's 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...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was like they had like at lunch.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was like crazy. Wedding cakes.
Yeah, like huge cakes.

Speaker 1 It's great. 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.

Speaker 1 So why was Budget Spice? But imagine if you got Hanks on board.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 a food even better. Yeah.
Is he as nice as he comes across? Yes, he's very nice.

Speaker 1 I'll be tempted to like if I was like, if I met Tom Hanks and he was like super nice and just like chatted 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.

Speaker 1 And then again get in his head.

Speaker 1 This is why James doesn't get a lot of acting work. Yeah, yeah.
I'd go, you're not so nice.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd have to go back and go, that was just a little experiment. And then apologise to it.
Well, if someone did that to me, I'd be a little worried. Sure.
Someone did it to you.

Speaker 1 I think I saw Bitcher 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. Oh, yeah, so at the dinner table?

Speaker 1 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 to them. Yeah, I don't remember.
It was so long ago.

Speaker 1 I was like, I turned 10 on that set. And my dad took a video of me, like, like Tom Hanks bringing out cake to me.
Oh, Hanks bought out the cake, and did you look at him and go, that's so nice.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I'm not a big cake fan.

Speaker 1 Did you tell Tom Hanks that when he bought it? Well, I threw it in his face. Yeah.
I said, I don't want cake. This is not my favorite, Tom.

Speaker 1 Here's a question that people will be desperate for us to ask: What do you eat in the upside down? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Bugs?

Speaker 1 I don't know, whatever's there. I think think that's what Will was eating all that? Snails.

Speaker 1 That sounds quite nice. Snails is nice of a bit of a drink.
Snails prepared in the right way. With a bit of garlic butter.
Oh, no. No, not your sort of thing.

Speaker 1 Because it would remind you of the upside-down. Yeah, I don't know what I think about that.
Texture back there.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think. Maybe like worms.
Anything that would then just crawl in and out. Easily anything gross.
Yeah. If you're like hanging out in that like...

Speaker 1 Like, there's no like fancy steak in the upside down. Yeah, you're not getting that.
You're not getting sparkling water. You're getting flat.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you do get steak, I imagine it's just completely, it's the raw kind of

Speaker 1 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 beaten.
So it's not even the wild. Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like in us, when all the people

Speaker 1 who are living underground are eating the rabbits raw.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like rabbits just hopping around and then people are picking them up and just eating them. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 No, you're so gross. Do you not enjoy that sort of scary stuff?

Speaker 1 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, yeah.
Well, it's a very good horror film. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But people do eat a raw rabbit. Yeah.
You don't see it. I mean, I would never do that.
No, maybe.

Speaker 1 It's kind of like a wrap up alive and eat it. Well, maybe one day.
Yeah. Haven't done it yet.
Tastes develop as you get older. Yeah.
It's an acquired taste. Yeah, exactly.
It's like Marmite.

Speaker 1 Raw rabbit is like Marmite. It might be for a roll.
Still like liking it even less now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, you now compared it to eating a raw rabbit.

Speaker 1 Today's episode of the Off Many podcast is brought to you by Real California Milk. Here's some statistics.

Speaker 1 99% of California dairies are family-owned, and these farm families have passed down their land, their values, and their love for dairy for generations, just like we pass down family recipes.

Speaker 1 Their care is what makes food taste comforting and familiar, from creamy mashed potatoes to rich mac and cheese, or that dessert that always brings everyone back to the table.

Speaker 1 So this season when you're cooking for your loved ones look for the real California Milk Seal. It means you're supporting real California farm families who make these meals possible.

Speaker 1 So your side? My side dish. And maybe like asparagus or something.
Oh, yeah? Actually, no, I don't.

Speaker 1 No? Did you say that because you wanted to seem healthy and then realized that if you don't want asparagus? I don't know. I'm trying to think what would be.
There's a problem with asparagus. Yes.

Speaker 1 Which is two hours later

Speaker 1 your piss stinks. Oh, yeah.
Explain that, Ed?

Speaker 1 I mean, it'd be awful if it stinks or stings. Stinks.
Not stings. It shouldn't be stinging.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 That's not. That is something that imagine if I was the only person that this has happened to.
Sting or stink? Stink.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, no, that.

Speaker 1 That happens, right? It is. Because when I said it, when I said that, you will see that.
I mean, mine always does. Okay, good.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Because honestly, when I said it, you looked at me like, what the hell is this guy talking about? Yeah, which I was delighted at. Well, I don't usually eat asparagus.

Speaker 1 I thought it made your poop green or something. Does it?

Speaker 1 I thought that's what it did.

Speaker 1 I've never heard that before.

Speaker 1 Like broccoli or something? I don't think any of it does.

Speaker 1 Something did that too.

Speaker 1 Beetroot makes it purple. That's fine.
Oh, now everyone's staring at me. Beetroot makes your dumps purple.

Speaker 1 So that's the thing. What does Marmite do? Oh, yeah.
It's awful.

Speaker 1 It goes out the same way it went in. Marmite.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 sold in Alexander Morris.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 for a long time, it was

Speaker 1 some people, if they eat asparagus, their pea smells. Other people, if they eat asparagus, their pea doesn't smell.

Speaker 1 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 can smell it.
But for me, it just always smells. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Your pee always smells or your asparagus pee always smells. No, my regular pee.
Sure. I'm never like smelling it and it's like

Speaker 1 heavenly. Yeah.
Sure. I guess I see your point.

Speaker 1 But... Smells worse than usual after that.
I'll try it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, have to try it. And then you go, oh, I'll see.
I'll pee this morning. Yeah.
Tomorrow morning. And then tomorrow night, I'll pee again and sniff.
See which one's perfect.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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. That would be great.

Speaker 1 But you don't want asparagus as your side dish. No.
I guess people in the past have had things like,

Speaker 1 I mean, fries, mac and cheese. I don't like fries.
Mac and cheese is good when it doesn't. I don't have fries.
No, I like fries, but not for this meal. Okay, fair enough.
Okay.

Speaker 1 When would you have fries? I don't have a collect on that. Look at that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So not a mac and cheese either. Well, mac and cheese is good when it it has like the breadcrumbs and

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah yeah. It doesn't matter.
You could yeah,

Speaker 1 no one's judging. I can't eat mac and cheese without ketchup.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I don't want to back you into a corner here. Ed,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You go with the mac and cheese. Yeah.
Okay. With the ketchup.
Or maybe like sweet potatoes.

Speaker 1 Sweet potato fries. Sweet potato fries.
The classier fry. Yeah.
Yeah. Those are good.
So you would like absolutely not have mac and cheese. Actually, no, those don't really go with this meal.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'll go go back to the mac and cheese.

Speaker 1 Would you like, here's what we can do for you. So you're a special guest.

Speaker 1 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.
Like a little bed.

Speaker 1 Sounds good. Yeah.
Maybe.

Speaker 1 You don't seem sure?

Speaker 1 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 like special ingredients and it's like gross.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you think it's gross? So don't have that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.
Yeah, yeah. It's like not good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like I just wanted pancakes. Are you a fan of truffle as a flavor? No, I don't.
Too much now. I'm over it.

Speaker 1 I used to like it. I used to think it was brilliant.
Now,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Have you just woken up in Paradise now?

Speaker 1 I think the opposite. Yeah.
So, have we decided on mac and cheese with ketchup? Yeah. Excellent.
Mac and cheese with ketchup. And bread and breadcrumbs on it.

Speaker 1 Is ketchup your favourite of all the condiments? Yeah, definitely. Ketchup goes on so many things.
Across the board. Eggs.
Eggs.

Speaker 1 So good. And what else? Yeah, let's continue this list.
Sandwiches, some sandwiches.

Speaker 1 Fish? No. Fish? No.
No.

Speaker 1 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 will have ketchup on it. Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, ready? Here we go. Burger.
Yes, or off your. Cereal.
No.

Speaker 1 Already running out of ideas. Spaghetti.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I used to eat that a lot.
Pie.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 No, then Good, because it was a cherry pie.

Speaker 1 And you would not have enjoyed it. That's terrible.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pizza?

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, no, no.
That sounds gross. Lasagna.
Yeah. It's good so far.
Spit in meatballs. Yeah.
Yeah, you've done spaghetti. I said spaghetti.
Yeah, but I had meatballs in it now.

Speaker 1 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. It's nothing off the top of my head.

Speaker 1 It's quickfire all over the place.

Speaker 1 You're also involved in the quickfire. Okay.
Coca-Cola.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You would put ketchup in Coca-Cola? I'd try it.
You'd try it. Okay.
Yeah, that's fair. Adventurous.
Ketchup.

Speaker 1 Ketchup, yeah. What's ketchup? Oh, my ketchup? Yeah, yeah.
Ketchup. Ketchup, but baby.

Speaker 1 Cook-up. Huh? Coke-up? No, no, no, no, ketchup.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Sausages.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Good enough. I don't like sausages.
I had them once, I threw up, and I never have them anymore. Sausages? Yeah.
You had sausages once and you threw up. Yeah, whenever they were.

Speaker 1 It's younger. And ugh.
What sort of sausages? I do love sausages. It was like at home.
It was like from the freezer. Oh, you didn't cook them? Well, I'm sure they were cooked.
I didn't cook them.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So then I was like, no more sausage. So now every time I see sausage, I just like throw up a little.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 them. Sometimes it's good.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Fair enough. But ketchup, yes.
Yeah. Yes.
Roast chicken.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Put it on a roast chicken. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 How about breadage chicken?

Speaker 1 Every time I think you've run out of foods, you seem to pull another one out.

Speaker 1 I'm a man of many. I know so much about food.

Speaker 1 I just know a lot about food, and I'm able to find out all these dishes that Noah and he can tell me if he had ketchup on him or not.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then at the end of the day, he has to go. And then a man from England asked me what foods I would put ketchup on or not.
Yeah, I mean, that's the most important. Like, why do you put ketchup on?

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is the most.

Speaker 1 This is the one that I was going to go home and tell everyone about. Yeah, it's true.
The most memorable interview of the day. That my asparagus pee smelled like.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They might have been brothers, they might not have been. Humans for dessert.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 You've learned a lot about Marmite. Marmite throw-up.
Yeah. I think you have a YouTube channel, right? Yes.

Speaker 1 I think you trying Marmite for the first time would go big, especially, especially if you're not going to be able to. But it's so fast.
Like, it would only be a minute and then what? Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of

Speaker 1 build-up to it.

Speaker 1 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. Sure.

Speaker 1 Well, you could do loads of different British foods. You could do haggis.
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 1 Oh, God, here we go. It's all like...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 that real? Yeah, that's real.

Speaker 1 Again, I like it, but uh, it's really good. And black pudding, if you're horrified,

Speaker 1 you look absolutely horrifying. That can't be real.
That's real, that's going in fee. That's going in the video as well.
Ask MBB about it. Black pudding.
What's it called? Hagga? Haggis. Haggis.

Speaker 1 Haggis.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What country is this?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 It's like a hockey puck. It's sort of like a big sausage, really, so you're already on rough ground.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
But it's like, yeah, congealed pigs. It's just pig's blood.
Just blood?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so but it's like solid and then you would fry it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 People have it for breakfast.

Speaker 1 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 me about all of this i'm sure she's she doesn't eat sure she's not eating that no i'm sure she's not eating it no that's like vikings eat that yeah yeah sort of like

Speaker 1 food a lot of people in britain haven't really gotten over the viking era i can tell yeah

Speaker 1 we're really still into it food-wise have you eaten that i love all of those things no yeah i love haggis you have haggis with mashed turnips and mashed potato and put gravy all over it.

Speaker 1 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 terrible foods.
Marmite isn't that bad. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's why you're not going to be able to do that. That's why you compare it to all this crazy blood and stomachs.
Like, oh, it's just Marmite. It's just ash.
And suddenly you'll be...

Speaker 1 more open-minded and eat some marmite after you've eaten yeah stomachs and dried blood and mashed up stomachs yeah kind of all right I get it now. Yeah.
Yeah. It's upside-down food.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's all upside-down food. That's what he would eat in the upside food.
Yeah, he would eat aggressive and black pudding.

Speaker 1 Your favorite drink now. We come to your favorite drink of the meal.

Speaker 1 Your dream drink? A water? I don't know. Are we back on water? We're back on water.
I mean, for dinner, usually I have water. Maybe for breakfast I have like a smoothie

Speaker 1 or a juice. But dinner, like, there's no, like, like, I feel like there's no dinner drink unless I'm older and have like wine.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Oh sure, because I guess most people we've had on this show will choose an alcoholic drink at this point. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We've had some people choose non-alcoholic ones, but not many of them. Tea? Like iced tea we've had? Iced tea.
I started dinner then. So for dinner you'd always have to.

Speaker 1 When it's like a fancy restaurant, you don't have like iced tea. It's either like wine or

Speaker 1 a scotch.

Speaker 1 But like I'm too young for that. Yeah.
Yeah. Don't start.
Don't start. Have you never had any of those things?

Speaker 1 No. You've never had alcohol? I mean, no.

Speaker 1 Yeah? Never. No, you have 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

Speaker 1 smart. So

Speaker 1 wouldn't you have like a like a Diet Coke or something or a soda?

Speaker 1 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 want.
It is a fancy restaurant. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Because that's what you've established, yeah. It's very fancy.
They don't even have Diet Coke there. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 There's just the wine list. That's all there is.
But you shut that immediately and say. I mean, they'll give it to me, though, because it's in Europe and they won't care.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Okay. So even though you've never had wine before,

Speaker 1 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 they've never had.

Speaker 1 First drink, yeah. So you're going to have...

Speaker 1 Wait, do you want a glass or a bottle?

Speaker 1 Definitely a bottle. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Two bottles of wine.

Speaker 1 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. Yeah, can you do that?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think it would be nice. Legally, yeah.
Yeah, legally, yeah.

Speaker 1 No one will stop you. But it wouldn't taste that great.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that. So red and white.
Red and a white. Do you want a glass or do you just want straws? No, no, no straws.

Speaker 1 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, it goes round and round and round.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like the glasses, you can put them on there like glasses. Have you seen those? The straws that are like glasses.
They don't allow that at our restaurant.

Speaker 1 They're banned. You have to hand them in at the door.
And there's a dress code at this restaurant.

Speaker 1 What are you wearing for the meal? A suit. A fancy suit.
Fancy, fancy suit. What colour?

Speaker 1 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 dues and things. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But those are like fashion suits.
Like this restaurant, it wouldn't be like a fashion show. It would just be like you have to be dressed nice.
So it's like a proper dress code, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 you know i think gayton he's like he plays dustin with curly hair yep i think i'm be a little worried for him yeah he's a clown around yeah because he's like a funny guy i feel like he'd like forget that we have to dress nice sure

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Ed not as keen. Sometimes guests side with Ed on this.
I'm crossing my fingers.

Speaker 1 Look, I like a dessert. I just he 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you're a... You don't like dessert?

Speaker 1 I do like dessert, but I think I prefer savoury stuff. I get that, though.
Yeah, I like that. I I respect his decisions to a point, but like, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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 favorite courses.
You're in a fancy place.

Speaker 1 What are you going to go for? Definitely like a chocolate lava cake. Ah,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Maybe a chocolate ice cream, but that's not that interesting. Uh-huh.
So I'd stick with a chocolate lava cake, chocolate lava cake, so like a really rich one, yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 With like Madagascar vanilla.

Speaker 1 Oh, you've specified the vanilla. That's what we like to do.
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Ed likes actual lava as well.

Speaker 1 Eat that out of a suck it out of a volcano. Straight away.
Love it. Gobblet it up.
I think that's an amazing choice. What else do people say? People have have said other, you know, of a dessert.

Speaker 1 Some absolutely horrendous people have said cheese and biscuits, and those people can go straight to hell.

Speaker 1 But like, you know,

Speaker 1 we've had people say, you know, what, lemon tart? Lemon tart, yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They can be outside. Gatin can eat them outside on his own.
Have you got security on the door to s to stop people coming in?

Speaker 1 There's gonna be like another floor where you come in. Oh, and if you get into the restaurant, you go like up the stairs or down the stairs.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And they have like glasses on and they're like fancy. And they have those little earpieces.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And maybe a Demogorgon in a suit as well, right? Maybe a Demogorgon. Well, no, maybe

Speaker 1 a whole suit on a Demi Gorgon, but you could probably get him to wear like

Speaker 1 a pair of little underwear and

Speaker 1 the the the collar and just the bow tie like strippers wear yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 1 i think like the demigorgon will probably wear that yeah maybe get that around its neck just not fancy though is it just the collar and the bow tie

Speaker 1 across the street like yeah yeah yeah just like a strip club over there yeah yeah the demigorgun could be over there i mean i wouldn't really want to see a demigorgan stripper actually

Speaker 1 oh god just just realizing no it's not good it's a bit scary yeah yeah i went to the uh i mean some people have their types yeah i went to the stranger things secret cinema club thing they're doing in London, and there was a Demogorgon there.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 At that point, we haven't asked that. We asked what other cast members were like.
What's the Demogorgon like off camera? Nice?

Speaker 1 Actually, quite nice. He's a little difficult.
Yeah. Yeah, he really...
The Demogorgon is like, always needs his... His fancy food, his bow tie,

Speaker 1 his underwear. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Noah has been very polite there. I've been saying Demogorgon, right? And he said Demogorgon right there.

Speaker 1 You've been saying Demi Gorgon, which is not scary because that's only half a Demogorgon. What? Oh, Demogorgon.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 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 said.
Listen, man, now

Speaker 1 I've watched all three seasons. I've been saying Demi Gorgon in my head when I hear people say it.
Wait, is it Demi Gorgon? Demogorgon, right? Dema. Well, Demi.
You should know, Noah. Demi Gorgon.

Speaker 1 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 haven't even known it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, we'll look it up afterwards, along with you're going to look up Haggis, Black Pudding, and Marmite. Maybe.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Been worried about Noah, everybody. I'm going to read your order back to you now, see how you feel about it.

Speaker 1 You would like still room temperature water with a single ice cube in it to start off with.

Speaker 1 You would like warm bread with olive olive oil and vinegar and you would like the crispy tuna with jalapenos from Nobu

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 No sweet potato fries with the breadcrumbs on top of it make sure it's crumbed drink you would like two bottles of wine one red and one white

Speaker 1 dessert you would like chocolate lava cake with some Madagascan vanilla ice cream. Yes.

Speaker 1 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. Yeah, pick that.
That's awful.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He had some people there with him dining. Yeah.
It was in a basement. Yeah, it was.
It's a fancy asset. People on the door.

Speaker 1 Dormen. He had doormen.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He had a very sad idea. Yes, lovely rule.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I go, get the fuck out of here, no shit.

Speaker 1 I thought that would be amusing. It wouldn't have been amusing if if you'd screamed the F-word at a 15-year-old's face.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, it would have been pretty bad, but he's already shook up because we had the Bene Gorgon working on here. He was looking over that, going, Oh, no, this brings back.
Not again. No,

Speaker 1 what is he doing here? This is even worse than the Demogorgon. I can't believe they let the Bene Gorgon on.
The Demigorgan used to moan about him to me.

Speaker 1 When I was in the upside down, the Demigorgan would go, hey, Ked,

Speaker 1 you're in that tree house? I'd be like, Yeah, why? What have you got in store for me now, Demigorgan?

Speaker 1 I'm not going to rag on you. I just haven't a little bit of time.

Speaker 1 I just spoke to my cousin, Benagorgan, he's just saying to me, oh, he's working on this podcast. He's just winged all the time.
He doesn't like the nickname they've given him.

Speaker 1 I just wanna, I smell, do you know what? Sometimes it just really wears me down. I know I meant to love him.
His family's family. But do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Have you ever any family members like that, kid? Oh, I don't know. I got my mum, mum worries about me quite a lot.
Well, okay, but listen, I would actually welcome that over the Bennegorgon.

Speaker 1 This guy, you have no idea how much he drains me. He's just like, I talked to him.
He's like, oh, I want to edit that out of our conversation.

Speaker 1 But I'm like, listen, Benegorgan, you can't edit out live. He says, I'm your brother.
I'm your cousin. I'm owning up to you here.
Nearly, brother, there, wasn't it? Oh, sometimes I get confused.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I got to be honest, the Benegorgon's just looking quite tired now. Yeah, Benegorgon, really fun and pretty angry and tired.

Speaker 1 He zoned out so much, Jared. He zoned out, Jared.
That was about four and a half minutes. Have a little listen back to it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And obviously, what's 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.

Speaker 1 He's done one with Adam Sandler. He's done one called Abe.
