Speaker 2:

Yes, the Jack and Henry Helpline.

Speaker 1:

Here we are, and after the huge success of our last helpline episode you wouldn't believe it, jack we've actually had someone write in.

Speaker 2:

We've been inundated with one whole request.

Speaker 1:

It was literally over six words.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It was from Jill. Jill the guest.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, Jill the guest. Yes, Jill wants us to sort out her problem and she asks this question.

Speaker 3:

Hi, Jack and Henry, it's me Jill Jill the guest. I'm hosting a summer barbecue and would love to get your tips regards Jill the guest well, thank you, jill, thank you that's a big question.

Speaker 2:

It is and, and, and. Look, the sun is shining for one for once. Yes, I mean at the time of recording this. What a beautiful day and Jack.

Speaker 1:

What's also impressive is that we're recording this from Jill's garden.

Speaker 2:

We are. We're here in Jill's garden and we're going to be going over some of the best barbecue tips. What we're going to be doing to set up for that for this afternoon. There's nothing better than a summer barbecue.

Speaker 1:

And you know what always comes out at a barbecue Coronation chicken.

Speaker 2:

Don't think I've ever been at a barbecue with a coronation chicken.

Speaker 1:

Okay, maybe it doesn't always come out at a barbecue.

Speaker 2:

But in our barbecue it will be there.

Speaker 1:

As you know, if you listen to the first few seasons of the podcast, we are mass fans of coronation chicken. I can't believe this is its first mention on season three.

Speaker 2:

I can't believe it either. My biggest question I've never made a coronation chicken. We still have those pops of sauce. Well, this is what I'm about to say. What are the ingredients? That goes into a coronation chicken, Because I think it's like curried chicken.

Speaker 1:

Well, celia said she puts I think it's mangoes in hers and apricots.

Speaker 2:

But she still hasn't.

Speaker 1:

No, she's not invited us around yet.

Speaker 2:

Celia, we're calling you out now. It's been a year, it's been over a year and we still haven't been invited round for Coronation Chicken.

Speaker 1:

I don't even know if she listens anymore no, we don't know.

Speaker 2:

This is very true. But I mean, yes, sherry got us some care packages once, didn't she? She? Did and you're demonstrating holding the bag? No, because I was about to demonstrate. Sherry got us um some some care packages once, didn't she? She did, actually, and and that was the one where demonstrating holding the bag. No, because I was about to demonstrate. Well, I know, not very good for the podcast, but what happened when she gave us the coronation chicken?

Speaker 2:

she gave us a little bag, um it said, fragile on it fridge yeah, no, well, did it originally no the second one originally the second because sherry gets us presents every time. I'm going to call out everybody else, especially you, jill the guest who doesn't bring like sherry brings us presents every time she comes on to resort, but this particular one, well mark brewer lobbed it across the room exactly, yeah, she handed him the bag of presents said this is for jack and henry.

Speaker 2:

There wasn't anything in there for mark, so he threw the bag and in the bag were jars, glass jars of coronation chicken, and remarkably they survived. Yeah, I think they are the sort of things that would survive anything like and you can have you seen those that weird?

Speaker 1:

it's not really a trend anymore that weird tiktok stuff for those bottles being pushed down.

Speaker 2:

Yes, rolled down the stairs. Yeah, maybe we should try that with jars of coronation Chicken. On the Atlas Theatre backstage stairs what? Was that trend, by the way, but weirdly, addictive, addictive unsatisfying a lot of the time.

Speaker 1:

I don't know why. I was always what I couldn't ever believe about that trend. If you haven't seen it, basically it would be videos of people rolling various bottles and glassware down some stone steps yeah, often like the fire escape of an apartment or something yeah and then you would just see how many steps it took for it to smash. But what I always found so remarkable about it is in all of the videos they would do like 11 bottles yeah but the stairs were dry and clean every time.

Speaker 1:

So I'm thinking did you do this in like 11 days? What was the cleanup operation for this? Never thought about that you know, because the stairs would then be clear again. So I'm thinking how much effort did you put into this? A lot, by the sound of things. And also if there was suddenly a fire in your building and someone had to access the stairs, you know, the stairs were always vacant yeah, but I'm sure in some outtake.

Speaker 1:

There was someone who was coming up the stairs and suddenly there are loads of bottles coming towards them should we have lambrini at our barbecue? Oh, I think I think we've got to. You know how you can marinate meats in alcohol. Could we have like a Lambrini? Could it be infused in the Coronation chicken? I don't think you'd want to, I think it would dissolve the chicken, it really would.

Speaker 2:

I'm just thinking, though could we use the Lambrini as, like, an experiment? You leave the bottle of. Lambrini on the side of a table and you judge your barbecue guests on if they take, if it gets opened. Yeah, and actually, or there's a couple of ways you could do it like that you could sort of judge the people you know, because then you want to see what sort of guests you've got at your barbecue, or you see at what point do people get desperate enough if we've run out of other drinks do they go for the lambrini, could it be?

Speaker 1:

like. Do you remember in the last season of the traitors when diane drank from the poison chalice? Yes, you know, the first person to drink from the lambrini has to go like evicted.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, or you make everybody drink a glass of lambrini just before the barbecue, just to really set the mood just to get rid of the weak ones.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just it's just survival of the fittest. Yeah, I think that's probably what it is if you've got a good immune system, you can stay, if not, you're out forever. Yeah, I quite like that idea, so I think lambrini is a win.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and we've still got, as I said, those jars how many bottles? Just one yeah, just don't want any more than that no and then some uh, coronation chicken and the coronation but are we making? Basically? My whole point at the start of that was are we making the coronation chicken from scratch or are we just pre-made coronation chicken sauce that we?

Speaker 1:

are. I think it very much depends where it's from. I I think if celia's coming, yeah, she can bring it. Yeah, are we inviting celia? Well, I think this was about to be my next point. We've never done this on the podcast before because it's a bit of a cliche, but I think we should give ourselves each three guests, dead or alive. Dead, yeah, you know it jack no, this is so sad. It is sad, isn't it, but who would you bring?

Speaker 2:

Celia Potter because she'd bring her Coronation Chicken, hmm and and alive. By the way, is it too cliche to say james r hern as well?

Speaker 1:

no, I agree, james r hern a lot of fun mark brewer, you've just picked your three. Yeah, well, no, you're, you're maxed out.

Speaker 2:

No, no, but you. You offered mark, but who?

Speaker 1:

are you bringing? Okay, well, I'll bring mark you bring mark alive for now yeah, I mean after all again nearly died, alive or dead.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll bring mark yeah, it could be like weekend at bernie's, weekend at brewers, weekend at brewers. We just puppeteering around the barbecue. Do you know who I, who else I would bring? It would have to be like a really good chef, because I feel like then that would just elevate the food quite considerably. What about, do you know who I'd get?

Speaker 3:

ainsley harriet I know we're very much alive.

Speaker 2:

Why? Hello jill? All comes full circle. You can't believe it, I that I'm proud of us and you know what? It's quite funny because I have a life-size cutout of Ainsley Harriot in my office. What Backstory to this Every Christmas?

Speaker 3:

I don't think we can hear it.

Speaker 2:

No, every Christmas, me and my friends get together for like a Christmas dinner. We call it Pranksgiving because it's the day of pranks.

Speaker 1:

That's the thing 29-year-old men do? Yes, of course, this is it.

Speaker 2:

It's our tradition. Every year a different person hosts it, but the on the original pranks giving dinner. Um, we hand out, we put presents in the middle, and then you have to take a present and then you can steal somebody else's present or you. It's steely santa yeah but one of the but. There's prank presents in the middle and we all play pranks on each other, but one of the prank presents one year was a life-size cutout of Ainsley Harriot did you know it was a life-size cutout of Ainsley Harriot?

Speaker 2:

I think I bought the life-size cutout of Ainsley Harriot. Can I ask why? For the prank present.

Speaker 1:

But why did? Why do I now have it?

Speaker 2:

oh, um, I think it was of the era of the why hello Jill. You know Jill has died, jill's dead. Oh yeah, the original, not Jill the guest. No, no, I was just going to say she's alive still. You'll have to invite her to a barbecue, but no, the original from the meme. If you've not yet seen the meme.

Speaker 1:

Go and watch. It's terrifying. It was on this morning and alison hammond knocks on the door of this elderly woman named jill and was it a mother's day thing? I?

Speaker 2:

can't.

Speaker 1:

It was like a mother's day gift or something to surprise this old woman with a gift, and the gift was ainsley. Harriet was going to cook for her in her kitchen. And this poor woman. Can we not play a clip of it? Yes, I'm sure we can. She looks absolutely terrified in this clip because imagine you're sat at home watching this morning or whatever, and suddenly you hear this there's going to be more, because we've only got Ainsley Harriot here who's going to do a treat dish for you.

Speaker 2:

He's going to cook you a lovely treat in your very own kitchen.

Speaker 1:

Here he is why hello Jill.

Speaker 2:

You're a lovely treat in your very own kitchen. Here he is why, hello Jill, how are you, my love.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I'd be petrified if Ainsley Harriet suddenly walks into my sitting room. It is. Holding a frying pan.

Speaker 2:

No, I think it's brilliant and it became a very. It just became a thing that we'd always say, and every time we greeted each other me and my friends it would always be why hello Jill, why hello jill? Um, so it became a bit of a funny thing anyway. The tradition now is whoever hosts pranksgiving gets to keep ainsley harriet for the year, and I was the last host of pranksgiving dinner, I see. So he lives with me this year, um, and then our friend went away on holiday and some over the years the tradition has changed as they, and we've got our friend Callan. We've got like a mask of him, because I can't remember why we ever had that. So we popped that over Ainsley's face and now he's Ainsley Calliot. Wow, I even have a life-size cutout of Boris Johnson now as well, but that was a similar sort of thing that was left at mine for Prankskipping skipping.

Speaker 1:

So you're like a cut out version of Madame Tussauds a little bit, yeah, yeah my someone I used to do the junior choral courses with, martha used to have a. What was it? It was like a jacket and on the jacket were loads of faces of Louis Theroux right she'd wear it all the time.

Speaker 2:

he would be good to get at the barbecue.

Speaker 1:

yeah, louis Theroux, right Do you wear it all the time.

Speaker 2:

He would be good to get at the barbecue. Yeah, louis Theroux would be great. He's great, he is. I like Louis.

Speaker 1:

Theroux? Okay, I think. So is he your third guest, or is Ainsley Harriot your third?

Speaker 2:

guest Ainsley Harriot. Do we have to stick to three? You can have another one Four. Louis Theroux, mark Brewer.

Speaker 1:

So I'd have Mark. So I'd bring Mark. I'll be responsible for him, I don't want to be responsible for him. Two Piers Morgan that would be quite interesting. I just think it would be interesting. Piers Morgan and Louis Theroux. I think Louis Theroux would hate Piers. Morgan, of course he would. So let me make it even more interesting, jeremy Clarkson.

Speaker 2:

Yes, being three you've got very controversial people because I like I do like. You want an interesting but I think you need other people there to spark that. I do think what I think is okay we need. We need other people at our barbecue, because if you've got those controversial people, you want other people to be offended by it. Who would be?

Speaker 2:

really offended you know jeremy clark's. I love jeremy clark's, I think it's great, but you know, the whole time he would be talking about the meat and how vegans would hate let's invite a vegan.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, who's a famous vegan? Oh, greta thunberg yes, get greta Thunberg along. Okay, so we have, and you can you imagine, mark Brewer.

Speaker 2:

Greta.

Speaker 1:

Thunberg and James R Hearn. Yeah, I just think okay. So hang on, we've got Celia Potter. Yeah, james R Hearn, ainsley, harriot Louis Theroux, piers Morgan, greta Thunberg, greta Thunberg, jeremy Clarkson and Mark Brewer. Should we get Peter Andre along as well?

Speaker 2:

yeah, just why not for the?

Speaker 1:

entertainment. Anyone else who wants to come? Who would be this is a question Harry Kane for Mark Harry.

Speaker 2:

Kane and his family. Yeah, yeah, get them back in terms of entertainment for the barbecue.

Speaker 1:

yeah, if you could pick, get them back. In terms of entertainment for the barbecue. Yeah, if you could pick a potter's activity to have in the garden, what would you have there?

Speaker 2:

I'm going to rule out archery because I think it's too dangerous with the people that we've got.

Speaker 1:

I know we mentioned it on the brewer episode, but the sausage roll challenge I mean I feel it's too dangerous with the people that we've got. I know we mentioned it on the brewer episode, but the sausage roll challenge I mean.

Speaker 2:

I feel that's yeah, that's, that is proper summer barbecue at top tier activity, I think.

Speaker 1:

And it's also food.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so you're also feeding people.

Speaker 1:

I mean not if I throw them, you're not feeding people.

Speaker 2:

So so currently we've done a lot of shout outs, for we do wonders for them.

Speaker 1:

We could get the PTC to do a show outside yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Which show? I would choose last year's Christmas show to be the one we do.

Speaker 2:

Celebration.

Speaker 1:

I mean, that's all the shows anyway. Exactly You're hitting all the marks. We're hitting all the marks we're hitting all the marks multiple times I think celebrations hot shots is a classic hot shot. I feel that feels like summer barbecue sort of hot shot sausage roll, a lot of throwing things into a hole.

Speaker 2:

Yeah so obviously, for any great barbecue, you need great guests. We've covered that topic. Yes, it's done. We've. We've covered that. Very busy, very busy this bar be crowded, so we need a lot of food yeah so food, what are the, what are the must-haves, and do you know what I'm going to suggest and I know what you're going to follow up with scotch egg? Yes, and you know where a scotch egg was invented.

Speaker 1:

It was in the 1700s, fortnum and mason invented the scotch egg. They, they did Um. Yeah, Scotch egg 100,. Oh, I love a Scotch egg.

Speaker 2:

I know we are bordering from barbecue into picnic Meats. Sausages. I could supply the sausages Could get my mum. You could, yes, from my mum's farm.

Speaker 1:

And then Jeremy could bring her own food. We aren't catering for her.

Speaker 2:

No, no, yeah, no, no. She can eat a rice cake in the corner, or something.

Speaker 1:

She can eat the grass. Yeah, she can mow the lawn for us, mm. Yeah, food Okay.

Speaker 2:

What else? Why are we sticking on the barbecue? I mean, obviously you've got to go. Let's go through the classics Barbecue barbecue, a burger, nice, juicy burger.

Speaker 1:

My dad makes really good homemade burgers. They are amazing. We've gone through this phase recently, every time I'm home, of having a barbecue, which I think this is a great tradition we just started it of having a barbecue when you say just started it, you mean well, for like the last five weeks, okay, of barbecuing once a week, no matter the weather. Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 2:

I love that about british culture. Yeah is I'm gonna barbecue and I will stand in the rain and cook and that cook outside because, this is the summer and because it just tastes better yeah so which in theory?

Speaker 1:

why do you have to have a barbecue when it's sunny?

Speaker 2:

you know, if you've got an umbrella that's covering it yeah and you're dry, yeah, then it tastes better anyway, it is the top of my shopping list at the moment is a nice barbecue yeah um, and I bought myself a little burger maker thing Do you know where you?

Speaker 2:

get obviously you put the thing and you just clamp it down and it forms the shape properly Slightly toasted bun, Now the normal sesame bun, or like a brioche type bun. Brioche yeah, they taste better, don't they? Brioche is amazing, but at this barbecue today we're going. But at this barbecue today are we going to offer both buns. What are we going to like? Because I think the whole point of barbecue is you can just tailor it Like we've gone through what we like on a burger, but this has got to be.

Speaker 1:

The other great thing about barbecue is in what other setting do you go? So if you're in a restaurant and you have a burger and then you go, yeah, I'll have two more of those. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean you, you go. Yeah, I'll have two more of those. Yeah, I mean be looked at like a psycho.

Speaker 1:

No, any sort of buffet style dining, but at a barbecue. At a barbecue you end up having about seven. Yeah, it is. It is top tier dining, because I'm quite full after a burger when I'm out, yeah you know, but at a barbecue I can have all of them, and that's why you know my dad I'm not going to call out one of his flaws barbecuing here the first one he did recently and he's never done this before. Because who does this and you will be disgusted by this, all of our listeners will actually, he put the burgers on, he put a burger on and then he served up one burger, one burger, one burger. And then we went, oh yeah, should we have some more? He went yeah, I'll just go and put them on. I'm like no.

Speaker 2:

No, no, you're meant to cook them all, it's all together, all together.

Speaker 1:

What are you doing? What do you mean? You're going to put them on now. I think a big bowl of coleslaw is necessary.

Speaker 2:

Any barbecue, yeah, yeah. What other salad sort of options? Cucumber.

Speaker 1:

Yes, oh, I love a mozzarella and avocado. I get it's meant to go with tomato, but I just go for the mozzarella and avocado because tomato, oh, it's from Alessandro.

Speaker 2:

Alessandro.

Speaker 1:

What's he saying? Oh, he sent me my menus back, because when I'm in new york, he has sent me all the things I'm allowed to eat from the restaurants I'm going to. So that's what he sent me good for alessandro, so he's on the food chat as well yeah good for he's joining in. Should we invite alessandro?

Speaker 2:

I think so, but he, would he not spend the whole time telling you what you can and can't eat?

Speaker 1:

oh actually, yeah, he can stay far away. I literally had a dream, literally the other night. I had this dream that I was in the pop-in shop of all places and it was summer and I got a Magnum. When I say I'm being deadly serious. I suddenly dreamt that he popped up, so I just put it in the bin.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, wow, so we, I just put it in the bin. Yeah, wow, so we sort that. We're basically sorted out food for for your barbecue jill um yeah, so jill, that's.

Speaker 1:

Oh, you're also sorry. No, because this is really important, because you don't want your guests in a bad mood. Yeah, have some nibbles, have some tortillas and dips for the beginning. Oh, yes, what sort of dips? Sour cream and chive, hummus, tzatziki, that's it. That's all you need doritos homemade guac.

Speaker 2:

Yes homemade guac homemade not, there has never been a good.

Speaker 1:

Possibly once there's never been a good store-bought guac. The best hummus I had, apart from like real homemade Greek hummus, was the one that you bought yeah, oh, um, do you know?

Speaker 2:

yeah, what's the ramanas?

Speaker 1:

I think it's called ramanas no, ramonas, ramonas, yeah, but, and they also do the ramona chips, don't they yeah, which are really good can I say, can I tell you the story of how I got into ramonas?

Speaker 2:

I mean amazing you can, but also red pepper hummus is the best, by the way um yeah, I was in Tesco looking at hummus and an angel appeared in the form of a random elderly woman who just said this is really nice hummus. She like, it was like she read my mind going. I have had it.

Speaker 3:

Was like as you've said before, like Dolly Parton.

Speaker 2:

It was like Christmas on the square, yeah because it was like, basically she just appeared and parted like dolly parton it was. It was like christmas on the square. Yeah, because it was like, basically she just appeared and parted, she'd had the hummus before and gone. This is amazing. I need to share this with somebody, and since then I have shared the. Then I'm sharing it to you was she dressed in glamorous rags?

Speaker 1:

yes was she on a floating?

Speaker 2:

cloud potentially wow. And she was like try this hummus, this is the best hummus ever.

Speaker 1:

And I I took her up on that and then how are you going to get you know so after eating, because we're nearing the end of the barbecue?

Speaker 2:

we are, we've missed out quite a crucial ingredient what drink? We've only got one drink, and at the moment it's Chateau Neuf de Cac. That's fine. No, is it a bring your own booze sort of situation? Well, we've got Brian's.

Speaker 1:

Cocktails, brian's Cocktails. So you bring your own drink Creamy Coconut Dream and Brian will turn them into a Creamy Coconut Dream.

Speaker 2:

Any other. Yeah, I suppose. Yeah, bring your own sort of bits and pieces, bring your own.

Speaker 1:

It just gets too expensive. Otherwise we're already spending a hell of a lot on meats.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

You know, after the food's finished, is it just drink until we're done?

Speaker 2:

I think the party continues. The party definitely continues.

Speaker 1:

Because there's plenty of food there.

Speaker 2:

You continue drinking, socialising, playing games.

Speaker 1:

I guess we keep going with hot shots and the Beat the Entertainer games. It I guess we keep going with Hot Shots and the Beat the Entertainer games. It will probably end with. Here's how I'm thinking it's going to go.

Speaker 2:

Peter Andre Ainsley Louis might leave.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, celia will go, maybe, or maybe she won't, but I think that's when Piers and Jeremy will start and Greta are going to start going in, and then it will be a set around the fire pit.

Speaker 2:

there's got to be a fire yeah, I know they're naturally a fire pit, yeah and then that's when the night will draw to a close.

Speaker 1:

I think it will let someone will storm off at the end.

Speaker 2:

I think, but it's not. It's not a great barbecue until somebody storms off no, they have to storm off.

Speaker 1:

Right, we're going get in the car. You know it's got to be that. Maybe they snatch their wine back off of brian's coconut dream table and walk out what's one of the best barbecues you've ever had so what?

Speaker 1:

I have a really fond memory of barbecues. It was actually when we did the choral courses as well was we would. They were well, we would do the meter at wellington college or cheltenham, but the ones at wellington we would on our final day before the last day, so before the concert, or on our penultimate day after we'd finished our final rehearsal about seven o'clock. Bear in mind. On those courses we did about 90 hours of singing. It was crazy like the rehearsal schedule was insane and we would go and have this massive barbecue that they'd have prepared whilst we were singing which, by the way, was hellish in that last rehearsal because the windows were always open because of the summer, that's the thing, and you could just smell for an hour, just all of this amazing barbecue food and I know we've covered this again on the previous podcast, but or we will that london to brighton.

Speaker 2:

London and brighton have never smelt so good. All I could get was smells of different foods envious of that burger.

Speaker 1:

That was a proper burger van burger.

Speaker 2:

That was a nice burger. I was really jealous of that so, jill, we've just set up for you, all of the, the barbecue, it's lit now.

Speaker 1:

Oh, hang on, jack. Yeah, I've just got a notification on my phone. What's this? It's going to start raining in five seconds what oh here? Yeah, oh, here it comes. Oh no, jack, jack, quickly pop the umbrella up.

Speaker 2:

Pop the umbrella. Well, the rain is coming down.

Speaker 1:

The rain is here. Oh, greta, you were right, it is changing. Yes, you don't all have to leave.

Speaker 2:

No, louis, come back. Who's going to eat all this Coronation chicken?

Speaker 1:

Goodbye, Jill. Okay, more for us then, Jack. I mean, it's a bit soggy.

Speaker 2:

Would you it's prepare your burger for you then?

Speaker 1:

That's it then.

Speaker 2:

So it's just me, you and Jill sat under an umbrella. No, Jill's gone. Jill's gone as well.

Speaker 1:

This is her house, but she's gone. She's gone inside, she's gone inside, so it's just us. Sat in Jill's garden now.

Speaker 2:

So, as the night draws to a close, we said that like 15 times.

Speaker 1:

So as the sun sets on Jill's garden.

Speaker 2:

Yep, well, the clouds have come over and it's just me and Henry sat under an umbrella cooking a barbecue. If anyone wants to join us, let us know.

Speaker 1:

And we'll send you Jill's address. Think about what this rain is going to do to your hair.
