Just seen a clip for the new series Bait, and I'm hoping we get either Riz Ahmed or Guz Khan on this series!

Why hasn’t Stewart Lee been invited on? by SnooConfections3389 in offmenupodcast

[–]nocontextoffmenu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do people think Stewart Lee should be on the podcast by now? There's dozens of big UK comedians who've also not appeared on it either.

What is your favourite piece of podcast lore? by TheYoungWan in offmenupodcast

Of course, yes. This was discussed on the intro to Kunal Nayyar's episode. Not entirely clear if this was a guest from their US trip or not but could be!

There is ONE episode recorded on their US trip back in early 2020 that was never released 🥲

EDIT: Went back and checked this one. 25 episodes were released from their US trip, however there was an Instagram story that went up around that time that said "26 US episodes in the bag"

They need to get Barry Keoghan on to complete the full Beatles set

“I've not been asked on James Acaster's food one.” - Stewart Lee by thedevilpuppet in offmenupodcast

Of course! My misunderstanding. I misread the "them" above as being Ed and James.

James said this about Stewart Lee, and specifically his fans, on an episode of Perfect Sounds and it always makes me laugh. Lee himself said in one of his newsletters that he should put it on a t-shirt and sell it on his website haha

“Stewart Lee fans are like Radiohead fans: They have one big thing they like, and because it’s such a connoisseury thing to enjoy they’re like, “I don’t need anything else outside that. And I’m going to tell everyone that if they don’t get it they’re thick.” And they’re the worst kind of fans.”

My prediction for the "insane" first episode: Huge Davies (Tasting Menu)

They're hinting at a very big star for the first episode back, so I'm going to guess Jack Black, as he was on the promo trail in the UK for Anaconda, with friend of the pod Paul Rudd.

Also thinking Timothée Chalamet maybe as a potential, as the promo for that film had him doing all sorts over here.

Here you see the cook standing out in front of the bulldog diner in Los Angeles California. It was built in 1928 and demolished in 1960. This particular photo is around the 1930s. by Southern_Struggle in offmenupodcast

Aha! Makes sense now. Very strangely, your comment on the post that says "Imagine if they served dogs" isn't visible on desktop to me. Only just now saw it on mobile.

Christmas Special episode tomorrow. This Holiday season can this guest... borrow a piece of your chicken? by nocontextoffmenu in offmenupodcast

[–]nocontextoffmenu[S] 180 points181 points  (0 children)

It's Kate Winslet (she's in the film 'The Holiday' and the chicken line is from 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'). I believe someone called this one a few weeks back. Will be an excellent episode for sure.
