Don’t peel my boiled eggs for me. Feat: Barry Keoghan
Summary
Barry Keoghan has strong opinions about hard-boiled eggs. The actor refuses to let anyone peel them for him after once tasting someone's fingers on his breakfast ("I didn't ask for fish and eggs"). Kareem learns that Barry eats them roughly once a week, and that his Irish granny used to mash eggs and bread together in a mug. Her touch was fine, though. Holy water only. The conversation veers into other territory: Barry thinks the London Underground should display motivational quotes like "Comparison is the thief of joy" instead of just station names, and he's convinced those "prove you're a human" tests are backwards since robots could solve them faster than people anyway.

So, what's your take? Don't peel my boiled eggs for me.
100% disagree.
Disagree. I want my egg peeled, bro. I want it to show up.
I don't know where those fingers have been. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying like, you know, and you taste it. I remember getting it before and I tasted it.
A little aftertaste on the eggs that were peeled. I was like, I can tell what they had for lunch and I could tell what else they were doing.
Oh, you tasted another man's fingers. I don't know if it was a man or woman's, but I tasted someone's fingers.
You tasted someone's fingers? Yeah. Wasn't pleasant.
What did it taste like? I didn't ask for fish and eggs, you know.
Oh, no. That's disgusting. But it's so convenient.
But I want to peel it. Little crack on the head. I have another take.
Okay. Since we're on the tube, we should put more stuff like, you know, um just little uh sort of quotes, I think.
Oh, like artistic. Yeah.
So rather than uh Rather than where you're going, put quotes there.
Like uh "Comparison is the thief of joy." Oh, wow. That's amazing.
You know that one? No. But you know what I mean? I think like having something like that um and helping people to look up a bit more.
I like that. I think we could all use a little motivation. Another hot take.
Okay. You know when it says "prove you're a human," right? I'm like but robots could do that quicker than humans.
Oh, I just think it's kind of offensive. Name how many stairs? Uh I'm going to get confused with this one. But you know, you got to prove you're a human. I mean,
I'm offended. I'm like, you prove
You think it's a robot using the computer? I know. Are you a human?
I think so. I mean, yeah. I'm not. Yeah.
When's the last time you ate a hard-boiled egg? Uh, Tuesday. Last Tuesday.
How? How I know that? Straight to it.
How often do you eat hard-boiled eggs? Not often. At home in Ireland, they'd uh my granny would get an egg and bread and put it in a mug and like mix it up. I didn't mind my granny peeling my eggs. Now,
Shout out Grandma. Shout out Ireland. What I could taste on my on my granny's eggs was probably holy water. That's the only thing she'd be touching. You know what I'm saying?
No, that's poetic. Stick that on your tube.
