This episode of “He Said, She Said” (AUA: Ask Us Anything) is a casual chat focused on food and fun “would you rather” prompts. Guests discuss best shared meals (Key lime pie at Llama Inn, roast at The Harwood Arms, and a celebratory Nobu lunch in Malibu after an engagement), death-row meals (ribena; medium-rare beef roast with horseradish; parma ham with melon; vongole; steak and chips with green sauce; sticky toffee pudding/treacle tart/banoffee pie), and deep-fried foods (deep-fried Mars bar; Scottish black pudding debate). They also do “alive or dead dinner party guests” (Denzel Washington, Tyson Fury, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Jason Momoa, Jimmy Fallon, Mike Thompson; plus Louise’s picks like Miriam Margolyes, Elizabeth Day, Matt Haig, Leonardo DiCaprio).
Monica Reinagle (host of Nutrition Diva, ad read) and the two “He Said, She Said” hosts, Louise and her co-host (names not stated in transcript). Key claims/examples: Liquid IV hydrates faster than water; Nobu/Malibu is “cliché and cringe”; Giggs follows one host on social media and responded with a flames emoji; airport compliment: “I look like Thor”; Gemma Collins wished the host’s Instagram grid looked like hers.

0:39Hi guys, welcome back to He Said, She Said. This is an AUA episode and Ask Us Anything where you get to ask us all of your most intimate questions and we will answer bearing all from the comfort of our own home our blue room it's quite posh that we've got different rooms in our house that are named by a color to clarify there's only two rooms with color there's the blue room and the green room the green room is pretty questionable as well well you hate that room there's a lot going on up there anyway let's get into your guys's questions what's the best meal you've shared together and why does it stand out i feel like i've mentioned the llama inn in brooklyn before for the key lime pie but it was phenomenal we should go back there when we're feeling brave enough mountain in soho excellent choice first time we had a roast at the harwood arms we've only got about five tables in there that's quite bougie i'm gonna mention one that's a bit naff in a way but that you will relate to because this is probably one of your favorite meals when we went to Nobu in Malibu after we got engaged.
1:46That was my birthday. Oh, was that your birthday? Yeah, which was also the day we got engaged. Not the same day though, just to clarify, because we got engaged in the evening of the 4th. Yeah, so we went for a celebratory lunch that week afterwards. Okay, so different story already. It was the same day a minute ago, now it's the week afterwards. I said an engagement dinner, lunch. Oh God. It didn't need to be on the day we got engaged. I just went like a celebration. Anyway, that was, it's actually a beautiful setting, but it's just quite cliche and cringe, isn't it? Because it's Nobu and it's Malibu.
2:21Yeah, that was a great one. Me, you and Jonski had a lovely lunch there. To be fair, actually thinking about this, Marbella with your dad, when he takes us to the likes of, what is it? Trocadero, is it? Trocadero? Oh yeah, Mistral Beach. Mistral Beach. Oh, those long lunches, which like, when you describe it, like that sounds boring as sin but he rolls out everything from prawns to what's he called langoustines everything all the different types of paella oh yeah a big old good meals there yeah actually one of our friends has a paella competition in this country don't they in every summer sophie's dad hosts this like massive paella competition oh my god louise we should go to that I love a paella yeah so do I I buy them most weeks from uh you mentioned yeah you do microwave they've made the prawns smaller though which is a bit naff why is naff word of the day today on the note of my dad at Meast Trail Beach because I feel like they're there at the moment I got a message from his girlfriend with a picture of him with a crossword in it and it was actually a sheet sheets many sheets of crosswords that he's printed out from his printer that he's taken on holiday with him which I know that you guys enjoyed when we talked about last time okay what's your death row meal as we're on the the topic of food everybody wants to know the answer to this question always a bucket of ice cold ribina I'll have a Sunday roast with beef with beef medium rare medium rare with lashings of horseradish to start with I'll probably have something like parma ham with melon that's so funny that would be what my brother's with a little side of like hummus and what's that bread pizza bread and then i might have just i might have a side of chicken wings and then a greek salad and then that would be the sort of main event what you're what do you mean that's the main event you're not allowed to order the whole menu for each course it was my last minute of my life i'm going in and then for dessert it's going to be something along the lines of i'm going to go a cherry pie with custard with a little bit of with a little bit I'll tell you what I love is having vanilla ice cream with single or double cream pulled on top so that when it freezes it goes like chewy so give me a bowl of that with some like shavings of white and milk chocolate with some strawberries delicious alright and then my third one would be a little lemon tart perhaps you're having that whole platter yes alright let's hear yours then i'll have a vongolet why am i thinking of a prawns pill pill for starters but that's actually gonna wreak havoc on my gut but it doesn't matter because i'm gonna die i'm gonna eat all the garlic and the chilies and the onions that i can possibly find blend them up and just literally guzzle down the sauce yum yum yum go on relayed on tricotte steak and chips unlimited servings with that special green sauce that delightful only they know how to do delightful um pud would be I actually love banoffee pie okay or a treacle tart wait what's the one that we always have when we go out the pudding sticky toffee pudding oh god yeah you know we need to make them do we they're so easy I think you just put all the ingredients in a bowl and then just put it in the microwave have you ever had a deep fried Mars bar before Not interested in that.
5:58It's actually quite nice. No, that sounds absolutely disgusting. I promise you it's actually quite nice. I think we should join. Did Louisa tell you to do that? No, I've just had them because it's a Scottish thing. And when you're in Scotland, it's a rite of passage. Black pudding and deep fried maspans. Black pudding's not for me, by the way. If I'm ordering an English fry up, is that what you call it? Yeah. Cooked, yeah. That black pudding's getting moved off the plate, along with the fried tomate. Who is keeping the black pudding on the plate? Because that's a certain kind of personality type.

8:13Okay, alive or dead, which six dinner party guests are you having around your table? All right, okay. Let me go in categories. Actors. I'd like to have Denzel Washington at my table Why? Because he's my favourite actor and also he seems to be a very decent human being and a pretty deep thinker as well Wait, he's your favourite actor of all time? Yeah Wow, that's a big claim Sportsman or women Let's go both Sportsman, I'm going to go with Let's go Tyson Fury just because I reckon he'd be quite funny at a dinner table I like him and what he's done for the sport boxing is great His journey is also very interesting so I'd like to ask him some questions on that.
8:55Okay, fair enough. Music artists, I'd like to have, oh my God. Andrea Bocelli to sing a little serenade, to serenade everybody. I'd like to have Celine Dion there. I'm a big fan of Celine Dion. Yeah. Who else am I going to have there? Jason Momoa, I'd have him in there. I'd have him in there. What, just because you want to look like him? Well, not, well, he's Hawaiian, about seven foot. dark with tattoos and beards so it's very different speed you have the rock as well then no i'd have someone like is it jimmy fallon jimmy fallon yeah okay comedian is that how many more five maybe five all right one more eclectic mixture one more one more one more um i'd have mike thompson oh my god put him at the head of the table he'll entertain that bunch that's my six good choice okay here's my list louis through because he's cute and he must have a hell of a lot of stories miriam margolis good one because she's actually just the biggest icon to grace this planet if you haven't listened to her her talk on any podcast then i would highly recommend it um does she do podcasts she's actually done an interview with louis through True.
10:18Oh my God, dream partnership. So they already know each other. So that's going to be really good conversational. Oh my God, I'd love to have Miriam and Margell on this podcast. A good conversational starting point. So at least they're not going to be, they'll be awkward because they're both awkward as tits anyway, but they'll sit next to each other and I'll be dream host because I've done a really good seating arrangement. I've got to reach out to Miriam. Elizabeth Day because she's just so kind and a bit of like a sort of female mental figure and also has a lot of good stories likes to have a good time she loves a martini and although I'm a teetotal I do sometimes quite enjoy being around drunk people Matt Haig who's an author who wrote reasons to stay alive and i'd love to pick his brains about depression leonardo dicaprio good one because he's just the hottest man on the planet although if he's an arsehole then at least i can stop fantasizing about him okay so you guys listening need to vote who's dinner past you would you rather be at guarantee 90 of the population would rather be at mine actually i don't know yours is probably more universally appealing let's move on someone asked you talk a lot about how music is something that brings you two together so what's the best concert you've been to i haven't actually been to that many concerts which is surprising because i do love live music more than anything andre buchelli was good but the seats were crap we were up with the gods so that wasn't quite as special as it could have been he was with nicole scherzinger he was incredible can you remember when we went to a gigs concert yeah was that in hammersmith Shepard's Boo?
11:53Boo? Shepard's first? Shepard's Boo? Shepard's Boo? What's that? No, it wasn't either of those. It was like Brixton or something. Oh, fine. Brian and I fell in love to gigs, songs. Am I right? I think, yes. Yeah. Why am I making you feel uncomfortable? Well, because, I don't know. Because you know what's coming next. Well, I'm not rapping gigs. Yeah, please. Obviously not. Cream of the crop. No. Wait, just give me one line and then I'll rap it because I can't remember. What was the one? What was Beverly and Bethany? You're so good at it. Rats have legs. I'm going to say no. There's some things that remain private in my relationship.
12:39And me rapping gigs is one of them. All right. It's a shame. At one point, I'll capture it for you guys. I'd just like to let everybody know that Giggs actually does follow me across social media platforms. And he has responded a flames emoji to one of my stories before. That's dope. That's great. I'd be like, dude, when are you playing? Where and when are you playing next? We're coming. At our wedding, question mark. Watch this space, guys. Giggs, I hope you're listening. I'm not sure we're really your audience. Talking the hardest. Go on. Okay, after this, promise that you'll wrap something to Louisa.
13:18Obviously not. All right, we've got time for one last question. What's the best compliment you've ever received from each other and in general? From each other? Giggly mood. And in general, ever from anybody. Walking through the airport, someone said, I look like Thor. I was like, dude, I like you. Best compliment I've ever got. Fair enough. What about you? The only reason I'm going to say this one is because it was something that popped into my head when I was putting Leo down to bed the other night. And I think I was looking at my Instagram grid thinking, this actually looks quite nice. And then I remembered that the GC told my brother that he wished, sorry, that she wished, so the GC is Gemma Collins, if anyone that's listening, that she wished that her Instagram looked like mine.
14:06And I am just lit up by that. At the time, I kind of, it was slightly like Walter off a duck's back. but now I really like that compliment didn't she also say that I was fit Gemma Collins Sam didn't tell me that one did she say that yeah well she said that to Sam when they were doing Celebs Go Dating yeah really yeah well you are quite fit to be fair well I mean I just sure look at all you just can't do that compliment you're like can I say isn't it funny imagine being in the room where Gemma Collins is like oh and then the same with your instagram grid being like pick a side jenna it's me or him okay well and i don't really know a compliment from in general i think anything that's complimentary probably about my book feels pretty good we're short on time i've got so many questions i want to ask from this list of amazing amazing amazing listeners we'll have to shift them over to next monday yeah we will i can't wait all right anyway thank you guys so much for listening i hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into our brains if you enjoyed this then please do share it with anybody that you think might also enjoy it and make sure to follow us across all audio platforms and subscribe over on youtube and stay tuned for our episode dropping on wednesday it's a full format episode where we answer one of your listener submissions at the end and we get a chance to go a little deeper into what we've got going on in our lives at the moment.
