Chapter 1: What humorous experiences do Russell Howard and Dan Atkinson share from their early comedy days?
I feel like I'm a couple of steps away from OnlyFans.
There's your headline.
Were you in the room when I ripped my shirt? I wasn't sure whether you were going to tell everyone about that.
Oh my God, tell us what was it. What was the other Stacey like?
How many Stacey's have you had?
I've had more than one Stacey.
So the show should be called Gavin and the Stacey's.
I do want you to feel really comfortable, like this is just a normal meal between four people. But you've got cue cards. We've got cue cards. And you may have noticed microphones.
I remember my auntie Thelma going through the glass coffee table in one party we had when I was young.

Chapter 2: How do Russell Howard and Dan Atkinson feel about eating on camera?
Because when we used to work together on the TV show... Because that sounds like Paddington Bear on the run. Just like, I've seen stuff. Get me back to Peru. They've liquidized him. Yeah. We used to have tea brought to us all the time and it was a source of constant shame for us. When we'd be in the writing room. Yes. And there'd be runners who would bring you tea. Yes.
And it always felt unearned, undeserved. And we would just awkwardly say, oh, I would like some tea, please. Sorry.
It was a wild sort of knock on effect to suddenly have people bring you tea.
I know.
And they would just appear and that was kind of their job.
Did you feel like you were exploiting it?
Do you know what felt weird is sometimes I like tea so much that I'd go and get my own and then I would feel like I was doing someone's job and they would get upset. So I didn't feel like I was exploiting it, but I was aware that I was drinking too much.
Shall we pour these now?
Where does it go though? In which one? I don't know.

Chapter 3: What unique dishes are served during the dinner conversation?
I don't know. I didn't specify halloumi. Did you not?
And actually, aren't you more of a halloumi guy? Yeah, I like halloumi. Dan really likes cheese. That was the, wasn't it at your wedding we had to get cheese for you and your wife?
That's right. Yeah, we did, instead of gifts, we had everyone contribute to the day and so bring something for the wedding. So all of the hundred people there had made the day happen together. And so we put people on, put 99 people on cheese. Yeah, it was great. It was everywhere.
Did you?
It was like loads and loads of cheese.
Yeah, and you were very happy. And his wife did one of the best. Your speech was good, but her speech was... You know, you see someone just knock it out of the park. It was fine. Not enough cheese in it for my liking.
Yeah.
It was a good day.
Are you a fig person? Do you like figs? Because I'm not really a one for figs.

Chapter 4: How did Russell and Dan first meet and what was their initial impression of each other?
You can just like... So you've got your dauphinoise and then... Why choose mackerel?
I mean, it's quite a pungent... That is quite full-on, isn't it?
It is full-on, and it's delicious. These little flavour nuggets, these explosions, this bang. You've got this big, salty flavour coming through, and then you get a little bit of a break, and you're just like, oh, there's potatoes, bit of cream, then bang again. Oh, it's exciting.
Yeah.
But it's a minefield.
But see, this is what's interesting about him. He was like this when he was 22. So now it makes complete sense. Imagine a 22-year-old in a waistcoat, sort of going, explosions! And so I just ate it quickly and got out of there. Yeah, wow.
You know, the first thing that I ever made for a man once, right, it was, I said, I'll make you a really nice spaghetti bolognese. Maybe in the back of my head I was thinking he was going to take his clothes off. But yeah, so I boiled the spaghetti and got all of that ready. And then I put that on the plate. And then I just went and got, oh my gosh, that looks incredible.
Sam's got a pie. Sam, tell us about it.
That's amazing. Paneer curry pie. Apparently you like curry. Yeah. I've got some sides for you as well. Oh my gosh, that's incredible.

Chapter 5: What challenges did they face in the chaotic 90s comedy circuit?
This has left us pretty speechless, actually. I can see why you started doing this show.
Yes.
Sorry, can we go back to the dauphinoise and mackerel?
Can we not?
No, do you want to dish up? Oh, you've got one?
I thought we were waiting for Sam.
Right, I feel it.
Tell us about the spaghetti bolognese.
Right, you dish up, I'll finish my... Right, you do the dishing up. Oh, my God, look, there's curry in there. So, yeah, so my spaghetti bolognese, I boiled the spaghetti, I put it on the plate. Oh.
