James: [increasingly frustrated with Sam Campbell] Still no clearer on what anything… is… but… Ed: It’s lovely to watch you realize what it’s like to have a conversation with you.

My auncle told me they were surprised to discover at Off Menu Live that Ed is almost the same height as James, and to be fair, if your only frame of reference was the podcast photos, you could see why they thought otherwise...

Like, he really does have some weird skill of making himself seem so much smaller without actually looking like he's crouching all that much. Whatever the opposite of that "he likes to be tall meme" is, that's Ed in Off Menu photos 😂

Joe talks about the guitar sling scene in Stranger things. But in his usual humble way, decides not to mention that he came up with the idea to do it.

For anyone on Tumblr that's heard the Huge Davies Off Menu episode, what did you make of it? It's the one where guest Huge brings in some Ed/James fanfiction that he found, and reads excerpts he found funny to them. Ed was fine with it, James did not take it too particularly well, at the time I found it funny if a bit awkward and just felt kind of bad for James, but shrugged it off as 1) fanfic is very seldom written with the view that the people involved are necessarily as they are in real life, rather than that they're characters with a backstory inspired by real people, because of course no casual comedy fan that listens to/watches a standup, TV show or a podcast actually knows that comedian as a person, and so it cannot possibly reflect who they are as people. And 2) fanfics are not meant to be read by people they're written about, I suppose. Whatever.

I stumbled across the Reddit discussion about it a while ago, I'm surprised that they got so heated about it. Especially with the whole 'how do you as a person make something and so confidently put it online' thing. I wouldn't think of AO3 as a 'published' site. It's not too different from scribbles in your diary or a standalone blog, is it? In the sense that AO3 isn't promoting or pushing your writing out to anyone else, nor is there any incentive or gain in writing these whatsoever. I'm also personally not in the habit of bullying amateur writers, but I wonder if that's just because Tumblr has pulled me out of that sort of berating thinking entirely.

Off Menu reddit seems to think the author 'crossed a line' with this one, I think if any lines are crossed, it has to be either Huge or the Off Menu creative team deciding to go ahead with reading out that fanfic despite James' comfort levels. Like James has full right to be uncomfortable with people's depictions of him, but the line here lies with whoever decides to read out parts of it to him.

I don't know, what did you all make of it?

i love that anytime ivo is prompted to tell an embarrassing story he'll somehow work in at least 5 more embarrassing tangents this pitiful man cracks me up

THE GLASSES.

I THEORISED WHEN I FOUND OUT JAMES WOULD BE IN GHOSTBUSTERS THAT HIS CHARACTER WOULD HAVE GLASSES.

AND. I. WAS. RIGHT.

HE SUITS THEM SM HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
