You two haven't seen each other for years. We were trying to figure out when we last saw each other. I think there was a chance we saw each other at what had then been our agent's Christmas party, and you walked in as I was leaving. Yeah, that's... And I was about to say that, and you went, Sean, and I said, I've got to go, man. Yeah, that sums up our relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Exacto Mundo. Yeah. Let's hope the class of 92 work out. Fergie? Yeah. Do you support Manchester United? No, I don't, no. Who do you like? I support Queen's Park Rangers.
Chapter 4: What are the challenges of being on the run?
Who do you like? Is that not how people ask? I support QPR and I don't think I like them.
You know what?
But they are my team.
Because obviously I don't follow football. I didn't think they were a team anymore. I've not heard about QPR for years. Les Ferdinand. Yeah, that's all I know.
Is this podcast being released in the past? Because every reference is pretty old.
Eventually it will. As soon as it comes out, it'll be in the past.
I mean, you're twisting my melon here. Okay. Yeah, I guess it will be. Yeah, yeah. As soon as this releases in the past. Immediately out of date. That's the sad about podcasts. Yeah. It is one of the great tragedies of podcasts that they do go out of date.
Yeah.
Fuck. What are we doing here, boys?

Chapter 5: What is the ideal number of eggs for an omelette?
I think three is the received wisdom. a three egg omelette is like a normal sized omelette but that's not enough for me but sometimes four feels like too much so I think we're going to need to find a smaller egg I think you need three and a half eggs you need three and a half eggs three and a half you need three does such an egg exist? three chicken two quail may I?
couple of quails in there yeah don't know if I've ever had a quail's egg so that would be a real treat yeah do they fry up the same way? yeah they're just small eggs yeah They're just small eggs. I lost my favourite omelette. It's gone off the menu.
Chapter 6: Why does Sean miss his favorite omelette?
Where's that? Ozone. Place called Ozone. That's what I'd always get. I'd get the omelette with trout in it. Really good. So delicious. Not even on there anymore. Is that a breakfast brunch thing? Yeah. Or is that a dinner thing? They just have it there all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, yeah, I'd get it for like brunch or something. Yeah. Even lunch, I'd say. It was my go-to.
I tried other things on the menu, but I'd always circle back to that omelette. My favourite thing on there. Last time I went there, not even in print. That's really, that's genuinely heartbreaking.
Chapter 7: What are the qualities of a good Ethiopian veggie platter?
I feel like the omelette needs a renaissance.
Yeah.
I think we're falling out of love with it.
You were going to suggest the omelette needs some sort of protection on menus like sort of National Trust, English Heritage type thing.
I mean, I'm not opposed. I would say there are probably other things in the country to sort out first. Sure, but we can't do things like that. No, we can't. No, I mean, the thing is, it's the free market. If people don't want omelettes anymore, they don't want them. But when they're gone, we'll miss them.
Shout out Spider Crab Omelette at Mountain again, obviously.
Shall I name the place I go to? Is it going to be inundated with people? Yes. It's called the La La Cafe.

Chapter 8: How does Sean describe his relationship with sugar?
Fantastic. And they're lovely, incredible people from Morocco who run it. And those omelettes, my, my, my. Now that you've named it, do you want to retract the comment about diarrhea?
Yeah. Yeah. But you're not saying that's the omelette doing that. That's your intestines. Oh, yeah. It's your... Well, I mean, they haven't given me diarrhea.
I've chosen... I've had it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause and effect hasn't been confirmed. You know your body. You know what's going to happen. I go in there. Every time anything enters this mouth, it has to be an option.
Well, maybe they'll be so happy that you've given them custom and shouted them out on the podcast that they'll change the name of the omelette. To what? Sean McDiarrhea Omelette.
Sean McOmelette. Imagine if all the little fans started going in there and go, can I have the Sean McComblet, please? They wouldn't know what the hell was going on. No, they wouldn't. No, but they'd be like, hey, there's bums on seats, people are coming in. There's a lot of people coming in anyway. There's a bus depot across the road.
There's bums on seats, but they'd be off of those seats pretty quickly. All those bus drivers would get pretty angry once, you know, it gets filled with off-menu fans. They're angry anyway. Yeah. They're always putting on bets and they never win. Someone's been listening while he's been wolfing down an omelette, an avocado omelette. Wolfing. Wolfing it down.
Does your wife know you're going for those omelettes? My wife, this is a really interesting question, Ed.
