| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners of the off menu podcast. It is Ed Gamble here from the off menu podcast. |
| 0:05.4 | I have a very exciting announcement. I have written my first ever book. I am absolutely |
| 0:12.1 | over the moon to announce this. I'm very, very proud of it. Of course, what else could |
| 0:16.7 | I write a book about? But food. My book is all about food. My life in food. How greedy |
| 0:22.2 | I am. What a greedy little boy I was. What a greedy adult I am. I think it's very funny. |
| 0:27.0 | I'm very proud of it. The book is called Glutton, the multicore's life of a very greedy boy. |
| 0:32.4 | And it's coming out this October, but it is available to pre-order now, wherever you |
| 0:38.0 | pre-order books from. And if you like my signature, I've done some signed copies, which are exclusively |
| 0:44.8 | available from Waterstones. But go and pre-order your copy of Glutton, the multicore's life |
| 0:49.9 | of the very greedy boy now. Please. |

| 1:16.8 | No, no, no one ever said that. Even people I'd say who like manufacture cutlery, or |
| 1:23.1 | own a cutlery shop, never say get that cutlery ready. I'll try another one. Polish those |
| 1:27.2 | spoons. It's time for the off menu podcast. I thought there was going to be a second part |
| 1:31.8 | to that. With Ed Gammel and James A. Castor. Yeah, that's fair enough. So that's what I'm |
| 1:37.2 | doing all of this, am I? So I come up with a catchphrase, polish those spoons, get |
| 1:41.4 | the cutlery ready. I come up with a new one every week, too, this week, say our names, |
| 1:46.0 | and then you just look at me. Well, I'll try to think about a second part of that. I |
| 1:49.9 | was like, Polish those spoons and the bear. It should be another thing. It feels like |
| 1:54.2 | it should be another thing. Well, there's so spoons and you count those moons. Right. |
| 1:59.8 | Okay. One. One moon. There's one moon. Why would you count the moons? It depends. |
