6:35 Mulaney
Side note: I've seen everything Mulaneyacal and never knew this pod existed.
I fully thought he was kidding about them making the mouse’s name “John”. Bro they actually did that 😭
I do like sour patch watermelons
"A minute ago you were challenging me, saying you've never seen the soup without the topping"
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking, Ed
I'm American and I like your stuff man
Does Mulaney suffer from allergies? His eyes are extremely puffy.
we americans know and love you, jamessss
Water damage in the French onion soup 😆
acaster + mulaney lfg happy birthday to me
James is correct! If the monte Christo is available, it must be ordered.
I’ve listened to the pod since day one and its episodes like this that will always keep me coming back for more. Absolutely classss
Honestly solid Daniel Day-Lewis impression Ed
Why is he so puffed up 😮
45:41 whoa whoa whoa, Mr Daguerreotype over here has never heard of aubergine??!
Who knew James was into graffiti?? As a guy who is, who looks nearly identical to him, I assumed he was too nerdy for it. Ah sweet hubris. Philly is the birthplace of American handstyle graffiti and it has very distinct contributions to the history. Can’t believe that’s known across the pond.
I don't know about you guys but I think that John fellow is a bit of an arse! Who's with me?
Thanks for including the intro on YouTube guys. Really did my head in having to grab the pod just for the secret ingredient.
11:42 Ed’s face after James SO confidently and quickly states he ‘goes for the Scandinavian Swimmers’ at TJs 😂 what a gem
I love your stuff James!
Aldis Nord is Trader Joe’s in America. And Aldis Sud is just called Aldis in America. Maybe the UK only has Aldis Sud and therefore doesn’t have the Trader Joe’s type things?
Is it weird for listeners outside the U.S. to hear three grown men talk about a shop from California for ten minutes?
It must be.
I’m 1000% with his kids. My favorite breakfast is probably steamed crab and an avocado tomato salad. Pancakes and French toast is late night diner food. Fish and grits for breakfast is another great one.
1:10:28 Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Hey, you know what? Soup IS hot
Mushrooms are not vegetables, they are in fact fungi so you were right on that front.
Triple decker diner 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Watermelon sour patch kids are the biggest seller where I work.
Phenomenal episode! Thanks to all involved.
Honestly, I cutout bubbly water at dinner, and my night pees went away completely!
In my head canon john went and had a date with crosby after this and they lived steely ever after
11:27 Trader Joe’s IS amazing and Scandinavian Swimmers are the very best!
41:22 FUNNY?! this episode gave me so much anxiety!!!
I see. He was going to the toilet 3 times a meal because of sparkling water. I’d believe that
2 of my favorite comedians in 1 rm😵 im american btw and i know acasters work🤗😆
12:34 apparently Mulaney had never spent anytime in Queens
I love a french onion soup. I don't need the bread or the cheese.
And it's not onion broth. It should be thick and goopey sweet onion niceness.
I'm desperate for a secret ingredient kick out on video
