[@Mixxie67]

DipDabs are Lick'em Sticks in the US (not sure if they still exist-i haven't had one since I was a kid in the late 70's when I was addicted to them) and the "lolly" was just a white stick of more sugar with a vaguely vanilla taste.

The contrast between ed politely eating Turkish delight and james going absolutely feral over a fab dipped in sherbet is so funny😭

How did he practically deep throat it?! It’s frozen haha

[@TheOnlyShepherd]

I’m so glad I saw this comment, I saw it happen and immediately looked to the comments ahahaha

[@nocentii]

I don't think I've ever been more worried about someone's mental state than James when he took that first bite. He's a danger to himself and others.

[@onetwo8932]

Is it normal to bite fabs? I only had them as a child but I could not even imagine biting an ice lolly

[@nocentii]

@@onetwo8932 I think we all know that it's not normal at all, and that anyone who does it should be ashamed of themselves enough to lock themselves away from the rest of us for as long as their heart is willing to put up with them.

[@DarkwolfRedsoul]

It is allways nice to se Ed being so open with his diabetes. It helps removing the stigma of having to inject insulin when others see.

[@HORHAYY10]

I didn't even notice he did it! Didn't spot it

[@Catherine.Catherine]

[@cheyannei5983]

@@thunderbirdice The newer, more effective versions of insulin that you don't need to agonize over blood glucose monitoring/etc all come in these proprietary, patented auto injectors since the dose dialing mechanism provides another legal protection and cost increase

Thanks for keeping in Ed using his insulin, it's such a normal thing for diabetics and yet we rarely see it.

[@jefferydelmonte5385]

I am glad I wasn't the only one worried about Ed's Diabetes

[@CameronAdamsify]

Never seen that ever, in person or in video, so that was new for me!

[@MeredithAmberMovel]

​@@jefferydelmonte5385 why were you worried about his diabetes? Even if it wasnt on camera he's clearly going to do his insulin😅 this is the issue I have soooo much, people getting worried about my diabetes because I'm eating like a normal human... Which I can do, I just do insulin for. No need to worry about someone else's diabetes, especially someone you don't personally know 😅 x

[@pcbassoon3892]

He used his insulin needles to pop balloons on taskmaster. Lol

[@conversations_with_kara]

great to see that they're keeping the just puddings tradition alive where ed is being a little ray of thames-induced diabetic sunshine and james looks like he hasn't slept since the invention of penicillin

I was looking for this comment, he literally ate more than have in one bite

[@WilkesyBRAH]

It made me literally shudder

[@danbenfield8532]

The funniest thing was that Ed didn't react, so makes me think that, that's actually how James eats ice lollies

I am glad they showed that. I don't know what ed uses to control his insulin. I know there's pumps you can get etc. Wonder if he took his blood sugars after.

[@PaperbackJourneys]

@@Forestgravy90 Asking what’s funny about someone is like asking what’s good about music. It’s subjective to taste.

[@inspectahwoke5746]

You have terrible comedic taste if you think they're funny. They're extremely overrated.

[@PaperbackJourneys]

@@inspectahwoke5746 Mate you have “woke” in your name used as a pejorative. I can’t imagine you’re the barometer of what’s funny. Also, as I said, humour is subjective so you can’t declaratively state that something IS or ISNT funny. You might like Mrs. Brown’s Boys and if that’s what’s funny to you. I can’t say it isn’t.

[@BOABModels]

"Off Menu" is such a great podcast - for those who don't know, these two get a special guest who discusses their dream menu. Starter, side dish, main course, dessert and drink - NOT IN THAT ORDER!

5:51 I’m having flashbacks to when James actually ate a whole tub of pb ice cream on “Big fat quiz of 2021” (or 2020?) and had a full blown sugar rush 😅😂

[@juliastucky615]

I’m a simple person, I see new James acaster content and I must consume it

[@falakalak]

I'm a type 1 diabetic too and the going in for a second shot of insulin is a VIBE

[@celinavivian1162]

Genuine question: does it make a difference day to day if you are type 1 vs type 2, or do you say it for the ~prestige~?

[@falakalak]

@@celinavivian1162 from my understanding, type 1s have no insulin production. Our own bodies betrayed us and destroyed the pancreas killing cells. Type 2 diabetes is where the pancreas creates insulin that can't be used properly, or not enough. Type 2 at times can be managed by diet, but unfortunately I've not come across a diet which can restore dead cells. Type 1s need insulin, but sometimes type 2s need extra insulin too. Diabetes UK has lots of really accessible education pieces if you want to learn more 😊

[@piyam5000]

​@@celinavivian1162 there's a lot of differences, a quick Google search will help you out. But very briefly Type 1 from young age, needs insulin, type 2 generally associated with obesity doesn't necessarily need insulin.

[@chunkylefunga]

@@celinavivian1162 Type 1 you're born with and has it for life. Type 2 people get from incredibly bad diets/being fat. Type 1 cannot be cured and isn't your fault. Type 2 can be cured and is 100% your fault.

Are we just going to sail by the fact that James renamed it a Fip Fab? Because that may be the most genius joke I've heard in a long time.
