1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: It's almost like one stop shopping, except you can get

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,360
all the podcasts in one place for free. There's no

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,480
shopping involved. Arrow dot net A R R O E

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,400
dot net. Hello and good morning you too. How are

5
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:14,800
you doing very well?

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: Thank you?

7
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:15,679
Speaker 3: How are you today?

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,039
Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic. I gotta tell you right from the start here,

9
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,559
my wife and I are connoisseurs of cooking shows, and

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,000
I have to tell you your show is the one

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,399
that we are really looking forward to dressing up to,

12
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:28,480
because I mean, instead of just sitting on the sofa,

13
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:31,160
we really do want to dress up and become Harry Potter.

14
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: Also, I love here.

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,079
Speaker 1: Well, you guys have been a major part of this

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,159
for oh my god, we're going to be pretty soon

17
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,200
going on three decades. And the thing is is that

18
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,520
even today with Halloween, what are people doing dressing up

19
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:46,799
just like what you guys did. And you add to

20
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,880
that fun and flavor after Halloween because with the premiere

21
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,719
on the second, it's like, oh my god, it continues.

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,719
Speaker 2: It does yet never go into way which is great,

23
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,280
but yeah it is. It is quite funny, actually real.

24
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,079
I've already started getting messages on Instagram and things of

25
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,000
people with their either them or their kids addressed as

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,560
Fred and George. So it's been it's still really cool

27
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:11,359
to see new inventive ideas for Halloween costumes.

28
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: And don't you guys add to the flavor because of

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,319
the set itself when it comes to cooking, because my god,

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,840
you really do transport me into an area that it's

31
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280
like I've been here before. I love this. Let's do

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:21,920
some cooking.

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it.

34
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: It's like everyone's because a lot of the guys who

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,200
are on the show, they are big Potter fans. So

36
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,239
in the first episode that's on the Sunday, you'll see

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,640
they're all sorted in the Great Hall into so they're

38
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,680
actually some of them were saying that we're living a

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,159
dream right now. We're literally in the Great Hall being

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,040
sorted into Hogwarts houses and then having to present their baits.

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000
And these are, like I said, oh, they're the best

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,680
in the world or what they do. So for them

43
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,079
to be able to present something on the set of

44
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,519
the Great Hall, I think was a once in a

45
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:54,879
lifetime experience for them.

46
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: So now with both of you being inside that kitchen,

47
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,719
what kind of research goes into your cooking? Because I'm

48
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,200
one of those chefs inside my own home kitchen where

49
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,079
I've got to go and figure out what is it

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,799
I want to do and why do I want to

51
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,039
use this particular spice or something else. I want to

52
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:10,719
know the story of the food, and I think you

53
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,319
guys are going to bring that to us, are you not.

54
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,199
Speaker 3: So we're being the host of the show.

55
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: We get to ask the chefs these questions, which is

56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400
brilliant in trying to backlog it in my memory for

57
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,240
when I do stuff later. But yeah, so we've got

58
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,400
so the teams. I made it two people. One it's

59
00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,800
a baker and the other is a either a sous

60
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:36,280
chef or a partisserie chef or a molecular astronomist or

61
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,919
a chocolateeer. So they've got their own individual skills that

62
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,680
they bring to the team. And that's when you see

63
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:45,199
quite the good blend of the bakers who are doing

64
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,560
a lot of the design work to make these show

65
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,080
pieces look absolutely out of this world. But then you've

66
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,719
got the other side where the tasting elements are just

67
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:54,719
as important. You know, it is a baking show, so

68
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,680
it is a you know, the taste is everything as well.

69
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,439
It's not just about if it looks good, and that's

70
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:02,879
where these guys blend stuff together. And we've tasted some

71
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,719
things which I would never think about it, Like in

72
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,919
the first episode on the one contested RUI, he's like

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,080
a mad scientist when it comes to flavors and tastes.

74
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,199
Speaker 3: And he had this plant which I kin't.

75
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: Even remember what it was, but he I suppose it's

76
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,120
like a nut or nice it looked like, but it

77
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:24,840
basically numbs your mouth. However, he gave me part of it,

78
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:26,719
and I had the whole lot. I should have just

79
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,120
had a little a small piece. And the only way

80
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,960
I could describe it is if I'd taken a battery

81
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,319
and licked it what my mouth felt like. So he

82
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560
knew the measurements more than I did, so I lesson

83
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:39,560
learned that way. But when you had the dessert later,

84
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,599
it really complimented it because he's got this numbing effect.

85
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:46,759
But then he's also got these really intense flavors, which

86
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,000
just goes to show these are like the highest quality

87
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,319
that are around, you know, and it really brings that

88
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,800
to the show.

89
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Well. See, that's what I love about this show is

90
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:57,879
the fact that you do bring out the artistry of

91
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,439
those that are involved, but at the same time, it's

92
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960
almost like a science project as well. I mean it's

93
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,000
like being in Harry Potter and you're in class and

94
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:07,400
you're learning how to bring things together because a magic

95
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:10,120
trick doesn't just happen, it comes with history.

96
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's I think I was explaining earlier. We

97
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,639
asked the guys how they do this. So in the

98
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,319
first episode, actually there's one guy he's making the chocolate

99
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:26,480
moose that he's using smoke, like wood chipping smoke. Its

100
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,839
tastes like a smoky chocolate and all these things. It's like,

101
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,839
this is science.

102
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,759
Speaker 3: Now, this isn't just.

103
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,079
Speaker 2: My way of baking his flowering egg. But these guys

104
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,480
are out of the other level of what they do.

105
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: So to see that really really was great.

106
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, for you to even get this close

107
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,480
to how they do it is so shocking because I'm

108
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:48,079
a part of the wedding service business, and when I

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,279
ask these chefs and shoe chefs and even even bakers

110
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:53,879
how they do it, they go, oh, and they want

111
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,399
to mumble a little bit. It's like they don't want

112
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:57,360
to sell me their secrets. That's why I'm going to

113
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,879
be so glued to watching this.

114
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that what we did learn is

115
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,839
that these guys, I think I don't know whether it's

116
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:08,000
because they know they're that good or whether they're just

117
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:11,279
very giving, but they're not shy of explaining how they

118
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:13,959
do things because I think they want people to really

119
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:15,759
enjoy what they do like they do.

120
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with James and Oliver

121
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:25,120
Phelps coming up next, Harry Potter's Wizards of Baking on

122
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,839
Food Network. We are back with James and Oliver Phelps.

123
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:32,160
Let's just say that another Harry Potter movie is coming out.

124
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,879
Do we see you guys in the kitchen now that

125
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,199
we're seeing you there now and since that branding is

126
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,800
taking place and we're going to start identifying you with.

127
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: This, hey, that'd be good.

128
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: I think it's it's more like the you'd probably see

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,920
this in the kitchen eating, because that's what we did

130
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,560
a lot, especially especially off camera. We'd have these spoons

131
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,959
with us all the time to try and just hey, guys,

132
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,279
would you mind if we just try a bit of

133
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,120
this or try a bit of that, to the point

134
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,319
where in our ear pieces we've got the produce saying, okay, guys,

135
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:03,000
can you stop eating, please, and just get out of

136
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,160
shut So it's there's definitely a good purpose to the

137
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,800
job with this.

138
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: One of the things that's great about Charlotte is that

139
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:10,959
we have a lot of international stores. So when I

140
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:12,639
see a show like this, the first thing that I

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,480
do is hit the g Mart. And the reason why

142
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,319
is because every single lane is a country all its own.

143
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,120
So that's why I can't wait to sit here and

144
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,360
take notes and then go get my ingredients.

145
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like a great thing.

146
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,319
Speaker 2: I think that's what a lot of people have from

147
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,560
season one is that they'd watch it really as family

148
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,920
or roommates or whatever, and then they'd go and try

149
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,519
and bake, either immediately after or sometime in that week.

150
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,199
Speaker 3: It would give them the inspiration.

151
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: To do so, which I think shows like this that's

152
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:42,120
what's really great to come from it.

153
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,319
Speaker 1: You know, you're going to be called to a comic

154
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,319
con and that's exactly what they're going to want you

155
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:47,680
to do. They're going to want you to host a

156
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,240
cooking show. You too, ill host.

157
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: I won't bake. That means I can eat.

158
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: One, but just one time, I would love to see

159
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,560
you bake, because that, to me is the fun part

160
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,240
about being a home chef because I screw up a lot.

161
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,360
I just want to be you. That's all I want

162
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:05,279
to be. Just show me how to screw up even more.

163
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:08,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the good The good thing actually about

164
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:10,639
the show is even when when we finished for the

165
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,079
day and like the chef's time is up that they

166
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,639
can't do anymore baking for the time period, they'll start

167
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,079
making food because some of them haven't eaten. So like

168
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,560
the Jijar, the one contestant just started making eggs and

169
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,680
put in like a simple sandwich and he said, Jimmy,

170
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,439
sh I hate to do it. Yeah please, And it

171
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,160
was unbelieve. It was a game changer. It turns out

172
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,360
I've been cracking eggs on the whole line, so he

173
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,720
just learned these different tips.

174
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: So when you've got the set involved like it is,

175
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:42,199
do you have flashbacks of making the movie, because I mean,

176
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:43,759
you were on the set for the movie, so you

177
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:45,480
got to see a lot of things that we didn't.

178
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,519
We only got the close up lands and you know,

179
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,720
and everything that fit within the frame. But the thing

180
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
is is that when you see it, even with this

181
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,439
on the Food Network, it's like, ah my god, you

182
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,639
are right there.

183
00:07:58,079 --> 00:07:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we definitely.

184
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: As on a personal note, I was having quite a

185
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,720
few flashbacks in between, in between shots or whatever. I

186
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,560
would remember not just the scenes we filmed on the

187
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,360
certain sets, but also what I was doing in my

188
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,959
life at that particular time, so that that was quite cool.

189
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,680
But equally it was fun because a lot of the contestants,

190
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,199
they're big pots of fans, so they'd ask questions about

191
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,959
the set that we were a love. For example, the

192
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,920
night bus appears in one of the episodes, and one

193
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:27,959
of the excess Molly was saying did it really like

194
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,519
asking this question? Did it really move?

195
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: Could he do this? Could he do that?

196
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: So that that was quite cool being able to share

197
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,000
our knowledge with them.

198
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Wow, I cannot wait to dress up and go cook

199
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:38,919
in with you guys. Where can people go to find

200
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,159
out more about what you guys are up to, Because

201
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:43,080
once again, this is the first step of a brand

202
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,759
new beginning. I just cannot wait to grow with you guys.

203
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: So, as I said, like, the show is going to

205
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,960
be on, It's on Food Network premieres Sunday at eight

206
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,360
o'clock and then it goes on to HBO Max and

207
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,360
Discovery Streaming after that and then if they want to

208
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,360
see what we're at to Instagram's probably the best place.

209
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,919
We're on there on two different handles, and just there's

210
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,440
a bit there's a bit of cake in there. Probably

211
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,480
a bit of golf as well, but the cake stuff

212
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,519
I definitely leave for the other show. And the Food

213
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Network guys have been terrorizing us with all things for

214
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,799
TikTok and things like this, which I'm not cool enough

215
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:19,120
to know what's going on, but we having a lot

216
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:19,759
of fun doing it.

217
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:22,879
Speaker 1: Please come back to this show anytime in the future.

218
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:24,879
The door is always going to be open for you too.

219
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

220
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,759
Speaker 2: Thank you man.

221
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: Will you guys be brilliant today?

222
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,279
Speaker 3: Okay, you do have fun
