| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a very special episode of the Off Menu Podcast James. This is a little edited |
| 0:20.2 | down version of a live streamed episode we did for the Unmute Podcast Festival with |
| 0:25.5 | a very special guest indeed. Yes, very exciting. We had a really good time with our episode. |
| 0:31.6 | It was so fantastic and our special guest was none other than David O'Donnell. |
| 0:37.4 | Oh, docketee. David O'Donnell came in to talk about his dream meal in his dream restaurant. |
| 0:43.5 | We can't wait for you to hear it. It was a really fun episode. If you didn't see it happen |
| 0:47.9 | live, you missed out on some stuff like our faces, some very amusing hand gestures, which |
| 0:54.7 | won't necessarily come across on the audio version of the podcast, but let me tell you, it was great. |
| 1:01.0 | And a fun cover of a certain book as well, which we'll be talking about during the pod. |
| 1:06.1 | And you'll have to imagine it with your mind or maybe you can find it online, but we had such a good time. |
| 1:11.6 | We did. And as always, we had a secret ingredient that if David mentioned he would have been kicked out of the restaurant, |

| 1:36.8 | the hottest pepper in the world. Or, you know, nearly. I think it's all the sourdough, James. No one's |
| 1:43.0 | eating that for flavor. Are they? No, no one's eating it for flavor. Come on, it's just a it's just a |
| 1:48.1 | flex to all your friends. And you know what? I'd do it. Yeah, you do flex, don't you? You love |
| 1:53.7 | the bottom. You love flexing. Yep. I've got a bottle of the bomb in my fridge. I'm on FU's room |
| 2:00.5 | obsessed with it. Have you used it? Yeah. Do you use it for fun, though? Are you just doing it to show |
| 2:04.7 | off to your nephews? Mainly to show off to my nephews. That's what most things that I do in life are, |
| 2:08.9 | including my career. Actually, yeah, that's true. That's lovely. So ghost peppers, if they come up on |
| 2:16.2 | David of DocuTies menu, then he will be out of the dream restaurant slash unmute podcast |
