David rapidly changing the topic to a food he loves while he internally stews about forgetting he went on James podcast, only to have James gleefully recite that he also remembers the food David spoke about on the podcast episode David forgot he was on is.... Chefs kiss 1:00:43
I've heard James talk about his show on a bunch of podcasts, but it's so good how immediately open and honest he is here, an not surprised at all at David's understanding and advice. This episode is the tragedy of comedy in 1 hour and 20 minutes, and I am so glad it exists
"The Elephant Graveyard" is the channel James is talking about and the video is "Burn the Boats is the funeral for joe rogan's comedy career" I believe. He is correct its a great take down of that just awful special and rogan in general. Awesome channel.
Im such a huge fan of James' comedy and view on the world. love y'alls take on the ongoing comedian-turn-fake-philosopher discourse that has been going on for ages. It's so refreshing to listen to people not be complete hypocrites about freedom of speech, edge-lord BS.
Cross forgetting he'd been on Off-Menu - one of the biggest podcasts in the world - and then getting completely flustered and off-balance is exactly what I wanted to see.
@stevedixon8567 david floundered a bit out of embarrassment. As much as he's a kooky comedian he's a real earnest dude. Could feel him wishing he just hadn't said that in a real personal and human way
I was just searching for longer format James interviews, that weren't about menu items, after his Rob Brydon interview. Glad this was realized. Looking forward to watching the new hour
He's also recently been in Comedy Bang Bang! (audio), RHLSTP (audio) and Mashable (UA-cam), if you want to check those. He was also in How did this get made?, but that wasn't an interview
james is just a gift of a personality and david is so effortlessly funny.... there was a moment there where they let their comedy intelligence play with each other .. hope these two hang out more and get some flow together
I swear never clicked faster for a video.!! So glad james is in the US doing interviews Mt fav comic ever! I hope hes on smartless, seth meyers and more podcasts soon!!
I was on the last train from Birmingham to London once and Lionel Richie had done a gig in Northampton. Everyone on the train was singing and having a great time. I thought to myself 'does Lionel Ritchie not know he's famous? He could sell out wembley if he wanted.' No offence to James but I got the impression that was the best thing to have happened in Northampton for a very long time...
Comics have to try new material. When we hear James jokes it's after he has worked them out. But I take your meaning, I think he's funny even when he bombs on British quiz shows and talk shows
James is the best. He introduced me to taskmaster and therefore to modern british comedy. He is incredible. RIP sean lock. and no matter who reads this check out Sarah millican. Best comic from UK in my opinion, as most say women aren't funny, she has me reaching for new underwear every show. Thanks James. LEGEND.
I fully watched this for James Acaster, no idea who David Cross is, but mostly enjoyed his hosting ... not an Ed Gamble level podcaster but pretty enjoyable
David Cross has some quality stand up specials. Also did a sketch comedy show called Mr Show. All are worth checking out along with his other tv work. Great stuff if you enjoy his style
@@petersotherland9230 just thought I'd try out some Scandinavian style heckling ... I did enjoy the interview and enjoy listening to comedians talk comedy so I will sure to catch some more of his stuff when the algorithm provides!
I know David Cross, but didn't know he had a podcast. He is mostly a comedian and actor. He had a sketch show with Bob Odenkirk called Mr. Show, and he was in Arrested Development among other things.
I laughed at 34:33 when David asks if James drinks during the show and James talks about not being drunk on stage very much and David's like "no not DRUNK, just do you drink on stage?". Proper UK US divide there, because whenever we drink in the UK, we get DRUNK because we don't know how to stop. A completely alien concept to drink and stop BEFORE you get drunk.
I actually remember that Off Menu episode David did with James and Ed. I very rarely listen to podcasts falling asleep, but that was one of them. You don't forget about the poutine.
I was very surprised to see the Greensboro: Loudest City in NC shirt on David Cross. I would love to hear his story about acquiring it, plus any details of his time spent in my rowdy hometown. People generally don’t want to visit twice.
Please do more conversations like James! Bunch of great comedy in Great Britain. Folks like Greg Davies, Russell Howard, Sarah Millican, and many, many others would be great to see more long-form interviews with.
Obviously I can't speak for all Scandinavians but I think we just don't want to "interrupt" the show with laughter and stuff... Which obviously is a bit stupid. Just think it's ingrained in us. So we save the laughter and applause for the end of the show!
It cracked me up that he was skeptical of James' experience with rude New Yorkers, while being actively rude to him. Real Garfield "wonder who that's for" hours
David interrupting James to explain stuff to James that James already has considered and is in the middle of a thoughtful rebuke of on the back of lived experience and the philosophy of his show. Christ, every time I think I like a guest enough to suffer David Cross, his hydra heads of insufferability prove me wrong. Incredible comedy performer and writer. Arrogant and uninsightful in every conversation I've tried to get through.
Older people tend to have that view on cats, as a result of mainly seeing incompetent cat ownership. Thankfully nowadays cat owners take better care of their pets than 40-50 years ago when litter boxes or spaying wasn't common. Of course those households smelled
we've never met before. yes we have... chess curds! holiday market has cheese curds. Do you like cheese curds? you were on my podcast... they are fried curds. Do you like going to holiday markets?..
I audibly gasped when I saw the thumbnail for this. Instant watch. The more James, the better.
Same
yep
My kid is asleep. So I inaudibly gasped.
@alexstone66 also acceptable
My exact reaction😍
Love that James is getting more known in the US. Hope he gets a spot on Conan's podcast soon.
Oh my god can you even imagine those minds together
Would be funny seeing as his first American gig was bombing on Conan
I would love it if Conan had him on and they could figure out which taco truck ruined James's insides.
I think that all the time! I thought it today, actually! 🥺😱
Yup it's taken forever over here but I'm excited he's starting to get established
David rapidly changing the topic to a food he loves while he internally stews about forgetting he went on James podcast, only to have James gleefully recite that he also remembers the food David spoke about on the podcast episode David forgot he was on is.... Chefs kiss 1:00:43
Yeah, I noticed that one too. Thought he'd dug himself out of a hole only to find James backing up the digger. 😆
I've heard James talk about his show on a bunch of podcasts, but it's so good how immediately open and honest he is here, an not surprised at all at David's understanding and advice. This episode is the tragedy of comedy in 1 hour and 20 minutes, and I am so glad it exists
Cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see a stand up comedian of James Acaster's calibre name a female comedian as his inspiration.
yeah that's the plan, play to the prejudices of your audience
@@xmathmanxif he was predjudice he would have said joe racist rogan
@Ottophil Joe isn't a lady dude
@@xmathmanx i don’t believe in gender. Joe rogan can be anything he wants
@Ottophil ok, also dull witted, goodbye ignoramus
James doing American press is my dream. love love love.
his appearance on seth meyers was great
if you haven't already check him on Seth and Conan
"The Elephant Graveyard" is the channel James is talking about and the video is "Burn the Boats is the funeral for joe rogan's comedy career" I believe. He is correct its a great take down of that just awful special and rogan in general. Awesome channel.
TEG has quickly become one of my all time favorite channels. I'm so glad to see the channel blowing up!
Can't speak highly enough of Elephant Graveyard.
Brilliant channel
Combos!
@@hatecubed I see you have embraced the rc cola equivalency. Proper.
james' nodding reflection in the gold trophy thing is so funny to me
That highly polished surface excels as Acaster of his face
It looks like he's trapped in there but still happy 😅
Amen
James Acaster with American comedians is a dream come true for me
One of the greatest of all time taking time to bring on one of our more refreshing comedians from the UK is prime podcast time
At 43:26, I'm very sure James is referring to the Elephant Graveyard video, which is real good
Was literally just trying to find what he was referring to
Thanks.
Thanks for this. I went and watched it. How special.
This guys understanding and perspective is amazing. Checking out his special, I want to help him exceed to the best of my ability 🎉

James telling David that he lives in Times Square and it is his neighborhood cracked me up.
Cross forgetting he'd been on Off-Menu - one of the biggest podcasts in the world - and then getting completely flustered and off-balance is exactly what I wanted to see.
He was flustered for the rest of the interview. And Acaster handled it beautifully.
Yeah I felt the interview ended a bit awkwardly but maybe they were both getting tired.
It felt like David got really embarrassed, and that just made him spiral but as you said James handled it with real class.
I legitimately lost my breath. Admittedly I'm a bit high but fuck lol..
I love him talking about his cats hahahaha can relate
“We’ve met before, you were on my podcast.”
“Shit, sorry James!”
went downhill a bit from there…
@@stevedixon8567 Well, the megacat beat off made me laugh
@@stevedixon8567James brought it back, but he must be thinking "obviously, I knew it".

Honestly 2 of my favorites talking bs in a fake living room has been ideal
Thanks you

I fuckin love James Acaster. Nearly fell out me bed when I saw his new special pop up on HBO and I’ve watched it four times, he’s amazing
I just watched James on his season of Taskmaster....now he's all over America....this is awesome.
Task…master? I must see this
@k.c.simonsen2 all seasons are on UA-cam. He was on series 7. Worth a watch
@@k.c.simonsen2dude…. It’s so good.

James, I love that you love the cats. (We have two!)
I cannot even fathom the idea of a crowd not laughing enough during a James Acaster show.

Fired up for this one. James is a gem
I love how outspoken he is of his love for his cats 😊
james in the headgum studio is just what i like to see
Fantastic. Can't wait for the special!
I was at the Truro show and it was a great night!
I don't know why, but I love seeing my favorite American comedians conversing with my favorite British comedians.
How did I not know about this Pod with D. Cross? Subbed right away
James is such a top guy as well as being a bit of a comedy genius.
James is the best. He introduced me to taskmaster and therefore to modern british comedy. He is incredible. RIP sean lock. and no matter who reads this check out Sarah millican.

Sarah Millican is amazing
She's great. Also on TM check out Paul Chowdhry as well.
I like this straight version of James as much as the nuclear reactor meltdown James.
Awesome conversation!
Thank you David. Thank you James. 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖
How interesting. My punk band once supported Josie Long in Brixton. Bit of a weird warm up act. She was great of course.
I love James Acaster!
I hope everyone is looking up Josie Long after this. She's the best.
I love her so much ❤️

That was very interesting, good job
"Can I use use this chair?" "Sure." "No, that's part of the monolog."
you've got the goods
Love James Acaster - brilliant
I love that he misses his cats so much when he's away 😻
Thank you for introducing James to Americans!!! He’s hilarious!
Born and raised in Kettering, it's so cool to see someone from our town getting this success
I laughed at 34:33 when David asks if James drinks during the show and James talks about not being drunk on stage very much and David's like "no not DRUNK, just do you drink on stage?". Proper UK US divide there, because whenever we drink in the UK, we get DRUNK because we don't know how to stop. A completely alien concept to drink and stop BEFORE you get drunk.
Exactly. We can't drink responsibly here in Scandinavia either
The whole interaction is great. David found that funny and I still think James didn't get that he just ment have 1 drink onstage :)
Woah what a great pairing, instant click
As an American, I welcome James to our country, he's good people.
How did it take 9 days for a James Acaster interview to come into my recommendations?!?!
I’m here for #CrossBreeding
Vital biopsy of a clinical press junket. When both parties are awake these really shine
lmao this is so spot on
James may feel insecure about his comedy, but I think he’s one of the best to ever do it. Same goes for David, actually
International animated short needs more presence at the Oscars not less! ✊😄
I don’t know if you guys know this, but David likes New York City.
"How are they rude?" ... seconds later "Ugh! Why?!" "Have I done your podcast?" Cross. The embodiment of my opinion over yours.
The cross breeding gag deserved more
Yesssss! Underrated joke
James Acaster is a National Treasure.
😂😂😂❤
Dream podcast guest
“You have cats? AND you love them? That’s disgusting!”
*starts droning boring stories about his family*.
🤭
I love this is already the 8th most viewed interview on the channel, even though David and James had never met before
The shoutout for the hilarious Joe Rogan video
I actually remember that Off Menu episode David did with James and Ed. I very rarely listen to podcasts falling asleep, but that was one of them. You don't forget about the poutine.
Would love other British comics. Great episode
Big up ketterin'
Isn't that the place that stinks of Weetabix? Big up Lestah!
All day. Every day.
I only watched the parts where James was talking and got through the video in 16 minutes.
Oooooh snap
two of my favourite comedy people ever. Haven’t watched it yet, but fascinated to see how it goes
Great convo
I was very surprised to see the Greensboro: Loudest City in NC shirt on David Cross. I would love to hear his story about acquiring it, plus any details of his time spent in my rowdy hometown. People generally don’t want to visit twice.
You are joking about the rowdiness of Greensboro. I am a native too. No longer.
Love that James got heckled in Times Square, by a man who he thinks probably thought *he* was getting heckled, incredibly meta.
I'm pretty sure the Joe Rogan thing James is talking about halfway through this is The Elephants Graveyard.
Yes, Americans are just discovering him, and his fans keep growing.
I really want to see Acaster on Rick Glassman's pod.
I appreciate you saying you should include Ireland.
Top guest
James Acaster “ beatin’ off over a megacat”…HILARIOUS!!
Please do more conversations like James! Bunch of great comedy in Great Britain. Folks like Greg Davies, Russell Howard, Sarah Millican, and many, many others would be great to see more long-form interviews with.
i love he has 4 cats
Obviously I can't speak for all Scandinavians but I think we just don't want to "interrupt" the show with laughter and stuff... Which obviously is a bit stupid. Just think it's ingrained in us. So we save the laughter and applause for the end of the show!
James, I'd like a video of you hanging out with your cats for... Reasons.
Sometimes, it's like David is intentionally being rude to his guests
It's not much different then watching an episode of Club Random.
It cracked me up that he was skeptical of James' experience with rude New Yorkers, while being actively rude to him. Real Garfield "wonder who that's for" hours
Just his personality.
I think he genuinely cringes a bit at James and isn't totally sure, but still really likes and respects him.
@@worldisafrickyou know he could have just kept going too. I reckon James just attracts these people, like scrapes.
59:44 Once again, Cross forgets that he's met the guest before.
I’m impressed David can remember to wear pants on a daily basis. Dude is like 90% THC.
He's a drunk, what do you expect?
@willloman812 a never-nude always remembers to wear something!
I kinda wished I just stopped listening 2 seconds before that happened. Actually I wish they just ended it.
Cant believe David forgot doing Off Menu!
Love James, soo glad you had him on :) And no Ed Gamble! Always a bonus.
Me, too! I wanted a little animal gang as a kid, too!!!
THIS IS MY DREAM INTERVIEW
great show and comedians
Truly a combo worthy of RC Cola.
I looove James

Older people tend to have that view on cats, as a result of mainly seeing incompetent cat ownership. Thankfully nowadays cat owners take better care of their pets than 40-50 years ago when litter boxes or spaying wasn't common. Of course those households smelled
Definitely an American thing where most cats are house cats too, whereas in the UK they spend a lot of time outside.
The fastest way for me to not like someone is if they straight up don't like or hate cats, clearly shows some prejudice they have
43:40 I think James is talking about the video by Elephant Graveyard about Joe's special. It's really funny.
Chicken Pot Pie would absolutely be in the en memoriam. Too many have found joy in your work.
I can't understand people who dislike cats
They’re just so bitchy and scratchy
@@Neddoest You probably deserve it.
@@dianaalkire3257 that’s definitely true
That’s ironic since much like cats, we don’t care.
Or people who dislike animals in general...
Great comedyversation 🎉
I love the cat love
Delightful
we've never met before.
yes we have...
chess curds! holiday market has cheese curds. Do you like cheese curds?
