Woody, 63, and Ted, 76, co-host a podcast titled Where Everybody Knows Your Name, a name based on the show’s theme song.

Joined by guest Simu Liu – who stars with Woody in upcoming film Last Breath – Ted asked about working in close quarters.

He queried: “Did you shoot in that chamber where you have to be onboard the ship – what is it called?”, referring to a “sat chamber”.

However, Woody interrupted: “It wasn’t an actual sat chamber. I mean, it was, but it wasn’t.”

Ted continued: “It was close quarters, though.

“There’s a reason why I bring this up. When I worked with Woody, it was a huge sound stage, but his vegetarian farts were so horrible that he would shut down production.

“I’m just wondering what happened with you.”

Laughing, Woody replied: “Excuse me, but it was vegan farts.”

“Vegan.  Sorry, vegan”, Ted apologised. “Which gives it an actual pecan.”

Simu then joined in, as he remarked: “They were vegan farts to be fair.

“You were really nice. I think you were really nice about it.”

Meanwhile, Woody quipped: “That was back when I didn’t chew my food.”
