| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Off-Menu podcast, taking one layer of humour sponge, spreading on the buttercream |
| 0:20.0 | of friendship, the jam of great chat, and then putting another big bit of internet |
| 0:25.3 | sponge on top of it. And that's the podcast James is a cake. Is my name Victoria? No, James A. |
| 0:30.8 | Caster. And that's Ed Gamble. And this is the Off-Menu podcast. So we invite a guest into our |
| 0:35.5 | dream restaurant and we ask them their favourite ever. Start a main course dessert, side dish and |
| 0:39.4 | drink, not in that order. And this week our guest is Kathy Burke. Oh, here we are. Back in a little |
| 0:46.6 | town we like to call National Treasure Chester. Get your shovels because we're digging for treasure. |
| 0:53.6 | We're digging for treasure. Nationally. What a treat James, this is to have Kathy Burke on the |
| 0:58.6 | podcast. Every time I've been asked who's the dream guest to have on the podcast, Kathy Burke |
| 1:04.2 | always gets mentioned by me. I would say this is the longest we have tried to get a guest |
| 1:10.1 | because before we even did our first episode, the people we asked straight away were Scrubius |
| 1:15.6 | Pip, Kathy Burke and Richard Osmond and Grace Dents. So the those four straight away were the |
| 1:20.6 | first four emails we sent out and Kathy was like, I'll try and make it work if I can. |
| 1:25.2 | And we've been trying to make it work for years. Yes. And we finally, finally, finally did it. |
| 1:29.9 | Did it. And so now, when people ask me for dream guests, I can't say Kathy Burke and the |
| 1:36.0 | rock anymore. I just have to say the rock. Now it's just the rock. So make it happen people. |
| 1:40.4 | Maybe Kathy knows the rock. Kathy might know the rock. The the Burke might know the rock. |
| 1:45.0 | The Burke might know the rock. So excited to have Kathy and obviously what a what a history of work. |
| 1:51.7 | We've grown up fans. We've both met over a couple of times and a |
| 1:57.0 | brother. You've not never met. Oh my god. I can't believe I'm about to be here the first time |
| 2:02.3 | I've met Gamble Mixed Kathy Burke. Yeah. This is going to be great. I'm also aware that Kathy |
| 2:06.6 | refers to our podcast as the Where's Me Dinner podcast. So I'm sure we'll get into that. Yes. |
