We're Back!

To kick off the brand new season, we are joined by the incomparable Nish Kumar (Pod Save the UK, Taskmaster, The Bugle). We sat Nish down on the set of Off Menu (we changed the logo on the telly, don't tell Ed and James) to discuss the high-stakes world of international friendship.

You can also now watch the full ep on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1_dgQHE-g-s

Inside the Episode

-The Ravioli Incident: Why a 3-year-old Nish thought white people were eating hot tea bags.

-The Great Euston Rescue: The heartwarming story of James Acaster liberating Nish from a panic attack at a train station.

-The "X-Men" Theory: Why your friendship group needs a Wolverine, a Food Captain, and someone to sink a boat with.

-The ADHD "Superpower": Is it a gift? Or is it like Superman shitting himself every fourth time he flies? (Nish and Rhys have thoughts).

Superstar Irish comedian and goodest of fwends, David O'Doherty asks a Fwend Question! Plus we spend a good deal of time discussing bad hair cuts, and - unrelated - Georgia has accidentally dyed her hair the same colour as Rhys. It's Fwends!

Georgia has done her show, Rhys is tired, and Kyran has no idea how to use a hair dryer. Between the waxing talk and the blow drying technique, this is a very hair-based mail bag. It's FWENDS!

Rhys went gay cruising, Fred ask another qwarterly qwestion and Georgia pissed into a bottle. I think that just about covers it? It's FWENDS!
