Joe talks about the guitar sling scene in Stranger things. But in his usual humble way, decides not to mention that he came up with the idea to do it.

Hello! Today I listened to Judi Love on the Off Menu podcast, and she, out loud, said to Ed, James, me, God and everybody, 'Alex [Horne]'s power is being submissive. Did you see his power? Of being submissive? He loves it. Loves it'.

Basically, from what I can tell, Ed and Nish just eager puppy dog'd their way into James's heart.

Ed was on a podcast recently and retold the story of "Best Friends Club". Even though I've heard it before, it never gets old. It also reminded me of another podcast James and Ed were on before which was pure gold, so here's a sort of mashup...

0:00 - "(Nish and I) are both quite annoying..."

1:23 - James's version of events

3:43 - James's role at Ed's wedding

4:14 - Strange things James has done while drunk

5:30 - How could James ruin Ed's wedding

6:26 - It's impossible to make a room quiet with Ed and Nish around

Out of curiosity listened to an older podcast Ed used to do and some of the interviews in Edinburgh are great and really funny (they have ones with Greg Davies, Alex Horne, James Acaster etc) if you're interested.

But it doesn't take long to see why Ed tried to move on from it. Like the guy he hosts it with (his old comedy partner) is a lot older and seems to have taken Ed under his wing, Ed clearly looks up to him immensely and they make each other laugh a lot, but yeah... the dynamic is a little uncomfortable at times. Like literally at the start of most of the episodes he goes on about how fat Ed is and that he looks horrible and at one point when Ed is injecting insulin he tells him he finds it disgusting when he does that and it makes him feel sick and yep as a t1d myself that's the point I turned off...

Like I get he's kinda playing up to his comedy persona and I've only listened to a small percentage of episodes, but knowing this is when Ed's what 21, 22? A time he's now admitted he "felt shit" about his condition, and the rumours that Ed trying to do solo stuff lead to some passive aggressive comments, it doesn't really sit right with me. Just sayin... whatever happened, I'm glad he was able to move on and find new people to work with... I mean JAMES WOULD NEVER

Peak ADHD Storytelling: "Off Menu" spends six minutes defining the flavour of an Australian soft drink.

James: Your dream drink, Sam Campbell.

Sam: [Surprised] OH. Well, I’m gonna go with Portino.

James: Portino? I so badly wanted it to be something that I knew what it was.

Ed: But why break the habit of a lifetime?

James: What is it? What’s Portino? I don’t know.

Sam: Um, so, um, it’s like a…

Ed: Do YOU know what it is, Sam?

Sam: To me it’s a really luxury soft drink. Wimmers, Wimmers, Wimmers. Wimmers. Wi-Wimmers. Ed Gamble. Wimmers. It’s this amazing…

Ed: What are you saying?

Sam: In north Queensland where I’m from…

James: What were you saying a minute ago? What was that?

Ed: What was all that?

James: What was Widders?

Sam: Just, connecting with other people.

James: Did you say Widders?

Sam: Wimmers.

James & Ed: WIMMERS.

James: W, I…

Sam: Double M

James: Double M.

Sam: E…

James: E, R, S. Wimmers.

Ed: What’s Wimmers.

James: What’s Wimmers?

Sam: It’s a, well thats the, that’s the company that’s making these amazing drinks.

James: Ok. Wimmers makes the soft drinks.

Ed: Wimmers.

Sam: To me the top flavours, that Wimmers… I’d say Portino, I’d say, there’s one, double sasparilla? Do you have that here? But… double? 

James: Not a double, we don’t really even have sasparilla but like I know what you mean, I know those drinks.

Ed: I don’t know what sasparilla is, really.

James: No, we’ve never really been clear on it, I think we talked about it on the podcast before that we’ve never really known what sasparilla is.

Ed: I only know it from The Simpsons.

James: Yeah.

Ed: From the saloon scene in The Simpsons.

James: Yeah, yeah.

Ed: And grandpa drinks it. In The Simpsons.

James: The sasparilla.

Ed: Do you know what sasparilla is, Sam?

Sam: Yeah! [long pause]

Ed: Wha—------------what is it, how do they make it, what’s in it…

Sam: Oh, I couldn’t tell you, molasses? I dunno.

Ed: Yeah, ok, yeah.

James: What’s it taste like?

Ed: So, no.

Sam: It does taste sort of licorice-y, I think.

James: Licorice-y and sweet and yeah, ok, what’s your number three on the top three, even though we still don’t know what Portino is?

Sam: Portino is number one. Number three is one, there’s one called CRAVE and I couldn’t tell you what that is but it’s blue. It’s just called Crave.

Ed: Yeah. 

James: Crave.

Ed: It’s called Crave, but it’s your number three, yeah?

Sam: Of the yeah, of Wimmers. Yeah. I got back into Wimmers soft drinks kind of recently, I was back in Queensland for a little bit and um, yeah, I think it is the most popular soft drink, like the biggest selling.

James: Where? In Australia?

Sam: Not in Australia. Most places in Australia don’t even have it. This is like, there’s even places in Queensland that don’t have it. But if you’re in Nambour or Peregian or Noosa you will get this.

James: Ok, what are any of those places? Where are they.

Sam: This is like, north Queensland.

James: North Queensland. 

Sam: You’ve been to Queensland, surely. 

James: Yeah, but I haven’t been to those places. I think I saw that last one on a sign once, but like, I’ve not been there. Um, so, Wimmers soft drinks are the most popular soft drinks in those three places.

Sam: I reckon they might be, yeah.

Ed: Would they beat Coke as well? Be more popular than Coca Cola?

Sam: Yeah, it’s like how in Scotland, Iron Brew out-sells Coke. It’s amazing.

Ed: So what’s Portino? This is your big favourite.

Sam: This is like, I just remember the first, well, if I could like take you to Mon Repos so I… yeah… so, I…

James: Tell me about it. Ed’s just doing some admin.

Sam: Ok. So I was friends with this kid called Joseph O’Hare, well, our families are friends, he’s got a pigeon chest, juts out, his ribcage, like that, which he’s had fixed.

James: Congrats to Joseph O’Hare.

Sam: And I didn’t even know it was a thing he cared about but you know whatever, yeah.

James: Yeah.

Sam: And so we used to muck around Mon Repos. That’s where the turtles? Lay their eggs? 

James: Is this the Hare and the Turtle… the O’Hare and the Turtle story?

Sam: No, no, no, no, no, no, so this is where turtles go off to to lay their eggs and also the eggs hatch, and that was the best, cause if they went off course you got to actually pick up a baby turtle and put it into the ocean. Amazing. But yeah, we…

James: The thing is, because we got you to tell ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’ earlier, I feel like you’re Keyser Soze-ing us right now with a story you’re just piecing together from stuff we talked about earlier, so your friend Jimmy O’Hare who used to live near the turtles.. It just feels a little bit suspish. Carry on! 

Sam: Why would I… This is my life! Just my reality. But yeah we used to love, we, and you know, we just loved drinking Portino and making up our own [inaudible]

Ed: Bonito, I don’t have enough reception to find out what Portino is, would you google it and put it on the screen for us, thank you. Sorry, Sam.

James: So you and Jimmy O’Hare, Jimmy O’Hare what lived near…

Sam: Joseph O’Hare.

James: Joseph O’Hare lived near where the turtles came and laid their eggs and you and Joseph O’Hare would go and look at the turtles.

Sam: Yeah, yeah.

James: And you would drink a lot of Portino while you were doing that.

Sam: Yeah.

James: Great. What is Portino.

Sam: Well I just remember… like, we were huge into playing like um cricket, but with, not with, just with the lid of the bin, you know what I mean? That’s what we’d do. And I remember this guy coming up to us, and he, he said you–and I don’t know, we don’t even know this guy but he goes, ‘You guys could have fun in a plastic bag.’

[Long pause for audience laughter.]

Ed: [Getting information from the producer.] Um, It’s grape and berry flavour.

James: It’s grape and berry.

[Applause.]

Sam has stated he has ADHD, the other two have not AFAIK, but honestly I don't know if these buddies have two dopamine molecules to rub together between the three of them.
