I'm not drunk before we do the show.
Do you know what I hope?
What?
You know, like all works Christmas do's.
I hope I get off with someone.
Who do you think I'm going to get off with?
Tini, he's very,
if you can deal
with the crusted
poo around his
bum on the hair,
if you can deal
with that.
All right, as long
as he's up for a
kiss and a cuddle.
Yeah.
Do you reckon he
gets a lot of that
action at this time?
He's got another
250 quid.
I'll go and ask him.
I haven't got 250
quid.
I gave you the last
and you spend it on
cock cane. Cock. Cock cane. the last. And you spend it on cocaine.
Cock.
Cock.
Yeah.
Cock. Cock.
You thought fucking funny.
Cock.
Jesus.
I'm just going to drink.
Paul.
I've been DJing for four days in a row.
I've been working too.
And I have a Tales from the Dance Floor.
Oh, great.
Entertain me.
So, I'm DJing the other day, yeah?
Da-da-da-da-da.
No, no.
Don't do the blues. I'm DJing the other day, yeah? Da-da-da-da-da. No, no, don't do the blues.
I have not got the blues.
Right?
God, you're really starting to hit the liquor.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's put away two...
Two Dr Pepper and Jack Daniels.
Which we're calling a Dr Janiels or a Jack Pepper.
Dr Janiels?
Shut up! It's known as Jack Pepper Dr. Janiels shut up
it's known as a Pepper Jack
is that fact
or is that something
you just presumed
I believe so
that's what I heard
I think that
it compliments the
Jack Daniels
it does
but you need something
with Jack Daniels
because Jack Daniels
tastes like arse
arse on it's own
it's funny
you think it's going to
taste nicer than it does
and it never does
it never does
you have to add something
to it
and I'm adding
D to the P
and carry on what's the worst that could happen Paul could have an epi no not does. It never does. You have to add something to it. And I'm adding D to the P.
What's the worst that could happen?
Paul could have an epi.
No, not. The worst that can happen is you could ruin the whole episode.
You're working towards it.
I'm going to photocopy my bottom.
How? With what? Well, I'm going to give
you a piece of paper and a pencil
and I'll draw you a bond.
You can press the paper on my arse
and then you trace around it.
But I have to do all dots for the shading.
And my little ball bag that presses against the paper
as well. Yeah, you've got to do all
of it. I want
gooch in portrait.
So, this girl
comes up to me whilst I'm DJing.
This is familiar, isn't it?
This is like the Tales from the Dance Floor to end all Tales from the Dance Flo This is familiar, isn't it? This is like the
Tales from the Dance Floor to end all Tales from the Dance Floor.
Well, that's a bold claim for our
Christmas work to do. It contains almost every
element. Can you not? We're trying to record.
You're putting your glass down.
Yeah? Come at me, brah.
Mate, you really are showing the signs
of inebriation. Come at me, brah.
Come at your brah. Come at me, yeah.
Come at my brah. Yeah, this is, Come at me, yeah. Come at my bra.
Yeah, this is, it contains,
oh, she says, firstly,
Yeah.
Can I do a request?
So, first of all,
faux pas off the top.
Yeah.
A question, asking a question. And I nodded.
I couldn't be bothered dealing with that.
I know.
I nodded.
You just nodded?
Yes, yes, of course.
You turned the other cheek.
Of course.
And then she went,
Can you play some big tunes, please?
Oh, big tunes.
No, she said, two red flags in the first sentence.
Here we go.
She goes, it's my mate's birthday.
Flag one.
Flag one.
Yeah.
Could you play some big tunes?
Super flag.
What does big tunes mean?
She just means like something that we all love.
Up down funk.
Yeah, or whatever.
Big tunes.
Big tunes.
Miley Cyrus.
Not only is that fucking expression, or whatever. Big tune. She wants to hear Miley Cyrus. Not only is that
fucking expression
excrement,
just big tune.
You sound like a twat
in Magaluf
in 93.
Oh.
Don't you?
Big tune.
Big tune.
Fuck off.
Right, so.
Right.
So two red flags.
Okay, off the top
of the bed.
Off the top
of the bed
there's two red flags.
And then she says...
Oh.
Yeah.
No, then I say to her...
She says to me, and I said to her, and she says to me...
So she comes up and goes,
Oh, it's my mate's... Can I have a request?
Oh, it's my mate's birthday.
Could you play some big tunes, please?
And I say to her, that's not a request.
No.
A request consists of two elements.
The name of the artist and the name of the tune.
Sometimes just the name of the tune if you don't know the name of the artist.
It can work.
It can work.
If it's a big enough tune.
But not just the name of the artist.
That doesn't count as a request.
Because most artists, unless it's like a one-hit wonder.
You know, who was that guy who did Gangnam Style?
Ghibli Jib Job.
He was not called Ghibli Jib Job.
And you know, do you know what you have to do?
What?
When you make a name up, try and be more creative, Paul.
You've got a certain limited set of syllables that you use for improvisation.
One of them is jib and one of them is job.
And often they're combined together.
The name of the singer is called Bibbly Bob.
Oh, Bibble.
Bibble is another one.
Bibbly Bob and Ghibli Job.
I'm sick of it.
Honestly, I'm sick of it.
Please try to be more creative on the spot.
Anyway, she asks for a big tune.
And I explain to her that request.
She's like, oh, look.
You're an evil twat, you are.
And I said to her, no, but it just occurred to me.
Because I was quite articulate about it at the time.
I said to her, request is a tune.
Yeah.
And the artist who wrote that tune.
Otherwise, all you're doing is just being condescending.
Imagine you went into a sandwich shop.
Yeah.
And instead of ordering a sandwich, like, I'd like a ham and cheese.
Do you have ham on cheese?
Yeah.
Instead of saying that, just go, oh, do a big sandwich.
You know, do a big sandwich.
Oh, the quality of these sandwiches
generally is a bit shit. Could you just improve it?
Do you know what I mean?
Could you just do better sandwiches in
general? It's condescending, isn't it?
Because basically what you're saying is, I don't like what you're doing.
Just be better at what you're doing.
Rather than saying, I would like you
to play this song. It's not a request,
is it? To say, could you play some
big tunes, please? And then she said, third red flag, Paul it? To say, could you play some big tunes, please?
And then she said, third red flag, Paul.
Third red flag, yeah?
She says to me,
she says, what about something a bit more up-tempo?
What?
What like?
Happy hardcore?
What tempo would you want?
And then she said, techno-y.
A bit more techno-y.
It's the Blues Kitchen, though.
Oh God, don't make that wop-wop noise.
That's another one of your fucking syllables.
I'm going to start counting them.
The improvisation syllables of Ganon.
Wop-wop.
Ghibli job.
Bibble, ghibli job.
And, yeah.
A hoody-hoo.
No.
Yes!
Come on, you always go a hoody-hoo. He Yes, come on. You always go a hootie-hoo.
He's having another drink.
He doesn't like it.
So we've had the red flags.
We've had three red flags so far, ladies and gentlemen. Can I have a request?
Yeah.
Big tune.
Mate's birthday.
Yeah.
Up tempo.
Yeah.
There's four red flags so far.
And then she says, oh, it's all right.
And I explain
it's just kind of condescending
for you just to say that
just to say
could you play something better
you told her she was condescending
yes I did
and I explained why
was she pissed though
I didn't use the sandwich
to just roll over her glazed eyes
no no
she was like
she took it in
and it's just like
yeah
because I was like
come on
that is condescending
just to say
just go up to someone
and say
could you do better at your job
you would never
you know what I mean
isn't it
yeah
a request is requesting a song it's not going and say could you do better at your job? You would never, you know what I mean? Isn't it? Yeah. A request
is requesting a song. It's not going
oh could you just be better at it?
Could you just dance better? Eli, you know on this podcast
can you do bigger
gags? Bigger gags?
Can you just do bigger gags please? Like what?
I don't know. By who? Just do a bigger gag.
Do a bigger gag.
Do a bigger gag! Alright.
Come on. Dog walks into an opera.
No, what do you mean, der-der?
Don't say der-der.
Don't go der-der-der-der.
All right.
Will you promise me not you won't?
Do you know what dog's favourite parts of the opera are?
The arr-arr-arr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r Good. I'm going to use that if you don't mind. You can have that. So, Dog walks into the opera,
yeah?
And he sits there for a... He sits there for a bit,
you know,
he's got a ticket and everything.
And then,
like 20 minutes in,
he turns to the gentleman
next to him and he goes,
excuse me, sir,
do you know when the...
Oh, ladies and gentlemen
The stand-ups arrived
For the show
So, it's our Christmas do
And that was my tell-all
From the dance floor
I'm going to give it
Three out of five
She also said
That her nephew was a DJ
So of course she understood
This is it
Did you just walk away?
Oh yeah
She couldn't think of a tune
Then she said
I can't think of one
So literally She just wanted to come up And say I was of a tune. Then she was like, I can't think of one.
So literally, she just wanted to come up and say I was doing a bit of shit.
Maybe she was trying to shut you up.
Oh, Eli.
No, she wasn't.
Can you play big tunes?
And I'll let you play my big tunes.
That voice also is one of your fucking tropes.
It's not.
It's a new voice.
No, it's not. It's a new voice.
And it's not even original.
It's a new voice.
It was off that animated sketch show called... What? You remember it. No, I's not. It's a new voice. And it's not even original. It's a new voice. It was off that animated sketch show called...
What?
You remember it.
No, I don't.
You're denying it, but you do.
I hate you.
You're ruining my Christmas party.
This is a Christmas party.
All right, what's happening?
I brought snacks and gifts and prezzies.
You know what we should do first?
Also...
Oh, I hate this.
Also, I was walking through the crowd...
Kiss a girl.
This time of year is such a nightmare.
I was walking through the crowd with my bag of records,
trying to get to the stage to set up.
And I walk through this group of young men.
Excuse me, I say.
And then one of them immediately says,
how big do you think my dick is?
And then the other one,
the other one in my face goes,
hello, Gandalf.
Wow.
Fuck off.
Who are these youngsters?
I'm glad that they've
broken the country so
they have to grow up
into a shit job market.
Ooh, a little bit of
politics there.
Fucking insulting me,
obviously doing my job,
Gandalf.
What the fuck?
And what am I going to
say to that?
How big do you think
my dick is?
What would be the
right comeback with that?
I don't think you have a dick.
How long is a piece of string?
Yeah, that works.
Or,
I'm waiting for the aria.
No, what you should say is,
Paul,
shine on to it.
I knocked your lid off.
It's fine.
You've had so much booze already,
I haven't had one.
Do you want some?
I don't,
it's disgusting.
Oh,
I'll get some booze.
I've brought some booze with me for the party.
Don't worry.
But, you know what we should do first?
What?
Pull a cracker.
Okay.
That's what you do at Christmas.
I got these crackers from Poundland.
I've got a few.
Look, you've got your grip.
You're doing the cheetah's grip.
All right, I'll hold on to that then.
No, I do not want any overlap into the crease between the prize pod.
Into the bulk of the cracker pod.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Oh, he wins.
It didn't even crack.
Ow!
I saw that spark.
I won, everyone.
I won that.
What do you get in it?
You've got to put a hat on.
What is it?
Put the hat on first, shall I?
Yeah.
Is that traditional?
You've got to put the hat on.
Put the hat on first.
I'm getting the Christmas party mood.
Christmas time.
How big do you think my dick is?
Tiny.
Hello, Gandalf. I was just like, get think my dick is? Tiny. Hello Gandalf.
I was just like
get out.
You should have said
like Gandalf
it's as big as my staff.
I wanted
I was
they were intimidating
me on purpose.
Fuck them.
What present
did you get in it?
Fucking
fortune telling fish.
That's the best thing
you can get in a cracker.
It's the worst thing
of all time.
It's the best thing
to get in a cracker.
What is it?
You know what's ironic
is the fish
it's one of those fish.
You put it in your hand.
What's it made of?
Plastic.
So, in fact, it's a fish that is killing actual real fish because it's filling our seas with plastic.
Do you know what I mean?
That's the fortune.
That's the fortune I tell.
The death of the fucking planet.
Very good, Poundland.
You put it in your palm of your hand and what?
It tells a fortune.
So, you have the fortune telling card. That's so cheap, man. They used to have an ornate one. You put it in your palm of your hand and what? It twists. It tells a fortune. So you have the fortune-telling card.
That's so cheap, man.
They used to have an ornate one.
You know what I mean?
In Victorian writing, at least.
To make it look special.
That just looks like something you'd buy with an electronics.
Mate.
You know what I mean?
Like a cheap electronics.
It's a cheap cracker.
I got it for a pound for a box of 12.
You suck.
I can't wait for Team Yeti to arrive.
The wonderful magical tell the fortune.
The wonderful magical tell the fortune. The wonderful magical tell the fortune.
That's what it says
as a sentence.
The wonderful magic
tell the fortune.
There you go.
Place fish on palm
and his movements
will indicate.
So the electrostatic
hand static
on your hand
twists the little
cellophane fish
in your hand.
So put it in your palm
and let's see what it does.
Which palm?
Any palm. He puts it in his palm and let's see what it does. Which palm? Any palm.
He puts it in his left palm
and oh, the head's twisting.
So what would you say?
The head's twisting?
It's head's twisting.
It's done a flip.
It's done a full flip.
Oh mate, it says
if the head's moving.
Wow, it's going mad.
It's going crazy.
I've never seen
a more vigorous
fortune telling fish.
Oh hang on,
it says turns over.
It's turned over twice.
Do you know what that says?
What?
False.
What do you mean false?
It just says false.
If it fish turns over,
false.
That's going fucking
banana-y.
It's out of the go.
I want to go on my hand.
Oh, I've creased its tail.
Doesn't matter.
You read it out
or I'll put it on my hand.
You describe what it's going to do.
You describe what it's doing.
Here we go.
Put it on the palm of my hand.
Oh!
It's curled up into a little ball.
Place fish.
On the palm of my hand, yeah.
And it's curled up into a...
It's curled up.
What does that mean?
What does it mean?
Fickle.
Fickle?
I hate this.
It's a fucking piece of shit.
It always was.
I'm going to pull another cracker.
No, what's that?
Oh, you get one fish.
Is that all you get?
You get a joke in it.
Right.
It's... These are the worst get a joke in it. Right.
These are the worst crackers I've ever seen.
Honestly.
What's the joke?
Do it in your comedian's voice since we haven't got a stand-up coming.

I have the answer, Paul. Go on. He was born on a leap year.
On February the 29th.
No. Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
They're listening at home, shouting at the podcast.
No, you haven't given me a chance.
It's obvious, Eli. Well, give me the first two
words of the answer.
Today is.
Go on.
Today's his birthday.
No.
Today is New Year's Eve.
The day before yesterday, Bill was seven years old.
Right?
The day before yesterday, he was seven.
Next year, he will turn 10.
Well, that was just possible.
How does he jump from seven to 10?
I don't know.
Oh, the answer is today is 1st of January.
Bill's 8th birthday was yesterday.
So the day before, 30th of December, he was still 7.
This December he will turn 9 and then next year he will turn 10.
No, but doesn't it say his birthday was the day before yesterday?
Today is the 1st of January.
Bill's 8th birthday was yesterday.
The day before yesterday he was 7.
The day after that he was 8. the day before the 30th of December
He was still 7
I don't, I've lost all interest
Anyway, Sherrod is Dancing Queen
There you go
It's now time, the final section
The final section?
The final bit of this opening party
It's a Christmas Mikasa Suikasa
Where we give each other presents
Yeah Paul, about that Yeah party, it's a Christmas Mikasa Tsukasa where we give each other presents.
Yeah, Paul, about that.
Yeah.
Mine aren't very good.
Right.
But there are more than one.
Do you know when you think that's not really enough by itself, that present, you know?
Have you got some shit?
It's really poor.
I want a present for my Christmas do.
You will have a present. Give me a fucking present.
You will have a present.
Give me it now
Is it time for now? Yeah, isn't it like a jingle we do?
You just about get away with it until you do that.
Give me my present.
Oh, I haven't got it.
What do you mean?
I haven't got it with me.
Where is it? I've got to get it out, haven't I?
Where did you put it?
Oh.
Let me...
It's under there.
Where?
It's under there.
Well, get under there then.
I'm going to just carry on drinking.
My flatmate Rogan has got you one this year as well.
Oh, I didn't get Rogan anything though because I didn't know.
I would have gotten him something otherwise.
I'll give him a tube or something.
You have to go down the tube of legs.
What was that?
A tube of what?
I don't know.
A tube of meat.
Yeah.
A meat tube.
I'll give him a big tube of my meat.
A big trouser tube.
My big trouser meat.
A big tube.
My insane, crazy, spitting cobra meat tube.
Close your legs.
I'll move them over here.
Oh, he's going in between them.
Reach down.
Your chips are lifting.
Reach down.
There you go.
Get down here.
Here's the one for me.
All right.
Oh, what is it?
I think it's quite nice.
Singapore special gourmet tea.
Ooh.
So what is it?
No expense spared.
It's tea.
It's tea.
It's tea, Paul.
In a nice box.
That's the kind of tea you like, isn't it?
Stop sighing.
Stop sighing. Stop sighing.
Mi casa to you.
Let's do this segment properly.
You've got very sloppy.
And you know what it is?
It's because you've had three fucking pepper jacks in quick succession.
I haven't even started drinking yet, Paul.
Can I start drinking, please?
It's a lovely thing, this.
And it's sealed.
Do you want to look at the tea bags inside?
Or just wait until you want a cup of tea.
Do you drink tea?
Yeah.
There's your fucking casser, then.
To you, me casser.
Happy New Year.
I couldn't find a funny fucking gift.
Don't do that.
Don't throw the gift in the bin, Paul.
I'm throwing it in the bin.
You're getting very hostile, and I do not like it at all.
Mate, I spent all this morning in presents and gifts and food.
Here's this thing from Rogan. Oh, it's a yuppie bar.
Wafers with peanuts and
cocoa coating.
I like saying the word cocoa coating.
It's like S-S-Studio.
No, don't.
Paul, you're not responding.
All the time. You're not responding
to my comedic cues.
Cocoa coating.
I don't want to.
What do you want to do with this?
Give me a feed line. Come on.
So,
what kind of yuppie will you be putting in your mouth this year, Paul? Grant from
Barclays.
Who? Grant from Barclays?
Yeah. Who's he? He comes round
the house at Christmas. What's he called? Wibbly Woo?
No. Does he say Wibbly Woo? No, he makes a wibbly. Does he go blibbly blob? No. Does he go, ooh, who's he? He comes round the house at Christmas. What's he called, Wibbly Woo? No. Does he say Wibbly Woo?
No, he makes a Wibbly.
Does he go Blippily Blob?
No.
Does he go, ooh, what's, what's, what's, what's the noise you're cracking at?
Grant comes round every Christmas and makes a deposit.
That's all you need to know.
I've got another gift.
All right.
You ready for this?
Yeah.
This you will like.
You might be able to mix it with something.
I shouldn't have thrown the tea away.
That was mean of me.
You shouldn't.
It was a nice box of tea, Paul, and you need to take a photo of it.
I'll take it home.
Hate this Christmas party.
You know, like last year, we did a little play.
And the year before that, we had a little adventure.
I just thought we'd have a Christmas do this year
with lots of atmosphere and excitement,
and it wasn't going to happen.
Instead, I'm just sitting here half pissed
with a box of Singapore
Speciality Gourmet Tea.
English breakfast.
So, that's great.
Now he's back.
He's back now, isn't he?
That was my casser to you this
Christmas casser and this is the third part of my
three-part gift, which is pretty
good, isn't it?
So far, I've been giving a chocolate bar some tea and what's this? Christmas castle. And this is the third part of my three-part gift. Which is pretty good, isn't it? Say what you see.
So far, I've been giving a chocolate bar some tea, and what's this?
Virgin's Black...
Oh, hello.
Virgin's Virgils.
Oh, black cherry cream soda.
Have you heard of that drink before?
No, it's microbrewery.
So, what, is it alcoholic?
Is it alcoholic?
I think it's got botanicals or brewed elements. 100% natural. Oh, that's nice? Is it alcoholic? No, I think it's got botanicals or brewed elements.
100% natural.
Oh, that's nice.
Is it alcoholic?
No.
I wonder why it says microbrewery then.
Because it's a microbrewery, they brew.
Oh, well that's nice.
Oh, that's alright.
Then I'll have that.
I'm going to taste that.
I'll have it later.
Maybe I'll have it with a little bit of JD.
That's what I'm saying.
So as you...
Oh, he's just downed the rest of his pepper jack.
Now he's going to...
You open this. Okay. I'm going to open his pepper jack Now he's going to You open this

cherryade.
I'll have you a little sip because it's Christmas. Come on, love. No, wow. That's got a very distinct... I'll let you have a little sip. Cherryade. Go on.
I'll have you a little sip because it's Christmas.

No, you pour it out first.
All right.
Okay.
Pour yourself some out.
Have a little taste first.
What's that like?
Oh, subtle.
But nice.
Is it not...
It's not very sweet?
No, not that...
I mean, it's sweet, but it's not...
Is that what you mean by subtle?
It's got a little bit of...
I think that's a cherry.
Have a little bit of that.
Oh, it's nice.
I'm going to have a little bit with me.
Shh. Secret drink. What's the of that. Oh, it's nice. I'm going to have a little bit with me. Shh, secret drink.
What's the carbonation?
Oh, not too bad.
Doesn't stay too busy too long, but just enough for the bubbles to work.
Nice, isn't it?
I do.
I've got a thing for cherryade at the moment.
I don't blame it.
It's one of the forgotten sodas.
You know what I mean?
I'd say it's the forgotten soda.
Because people talk about Coca-Cola and Cherry Coke
But it's not the same as
Have you ever had a Cherry Dr Pepper
No
They do those
They're nice
Right
It's my Mikasa to you now
Alright

Says to Eli from St. Nick.
Shh.
Santa sent it.
Oh, I feel bad now.
Yeah.
Open it up.
Open it.
Open it.
Open it.
Oh, mate.
Yeah.
You really shouldn't have.
Look what I got you.
Fuck me.
Oh, if you want. It's a Tomy thing
With the thing
Yeah
It's wow
Tomy wow
It's a Tomy wow
Yeah
So like the upright version
Of the Tomy
Mate
Does it work
Yeah
It's got batteries in
And you know
You can have a little play of it
I feel really bad now
Yeah because you got me tea
Rogan got me a chocolate bar
And this And I've gotten you something That cost a hundred pounds To buy of it. I feel really bad now. Yeah, because you got me tea, Rogan got me a chocolate bar, and this.
And I've gotten you something that cost
£100 to buy.
It cost £100.
I went all out. Where did you get this, Paul?
I bought it online.
Really? Yeah, I saw it and I thought
you'd like that, because I've got R.
You've got R, and now I've got this.
Don't break the...
You've just got to be firmer with it you've got to
click it in
I just didn't want to
break it
the little bit awkward
thing about it is
this is all complete
yeah
this is fucking great
you've got to get the
ball up and down
all the assault core
stuff and flip it
and the ball
unfortunately is a
little bit weird
because when you get
to the middle
you've got to
basically flick it
all the way back
to the start
by convolutely
shaking the machine
around
it doesn't have an
automatic return I've got to get it back to the start myself yeah which is shaking the machine around. It doesn't have an automatic return.
I've got to get it back to the start myself.
Yeah, which is over there.
So it's a bit of a pain in the arse, that.
But, ultimately, I've had a little go of it.
It's not hard, but it's...
You know, like con man where it's not particularly hard,
but it's about how...
How do I get it through there?
I can't get it out the top of that bit.
Hey, you can have it from here.
I can't get it out the top up there.
How did you do that?
I do it.
Get the ball to the start for me.
This is good.
Oh, he's turn it on.
Yeah, you have to turn it on to get it out.
No, I've just got it.
There you go.
It's at the start now.
So all you've got, you know, you've just got to turn the dial.
Have a little go with that, love.
Have a little go with that.
So you put it on to start.
That's the timer.
Yeah.
Just have a little go with it now, but not too long, because it's a shit podcast.
Oh, what's that block you?
That blocks me!
This is fucking excellent.
I really like this.
There you go, it's yours.
I'm going to borrow it just to make a video one day for the channel, yeah?
Yeah.
But other than that, that's yours.
That's your Christmas present from me.
I love this.
There you go, happy Christmas.
Thank you very much.
We've had a good year, so I thought we'd get you something actually nice.
I can't even think of anything funny.
I actually...
And as an aside, it was a twofer.
I got this with it.
But this is mine because I want to keep this.
But this came with it when I bought it as auction.
Ooh, you've got this one as well.
Yeah.
Now, this is a Tomy game, but it's designed to look exactly like a Nintendo Game & Watch, right?
It's meant to look like a retro TV console thing.
But you know what I love about the whole design ethic of all of these Tomy games that we've been getting into?
What, the mechanical element of it all?
I love the mechanical element, but I love how their design is trying to be like Atari and early Nintendo.
It's trying to be like that.
But it is also from that era.
So it's kind of got an authenticity,
if I dare say that,
about the actual graphics.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's nice.
This one's very simple.
It's like trying to...
It's actually trying to compete
with computer games.
It's kind of trying to compete,
but on a budget,
because I imagine that would be a lot less
than a game and watch.
They're just lovely, though, aren't they?
It's interesting, this thing,
because this thing looks like
a little kind of old TV set, almost.
It's got a little screen and a dial.
And it's very simple.
All you've got to do is move your little knight from left to right.
Is this in working condition as well?
Yeah.
And it's called Knight's Mission.
You've got to get the knight from the right-hand side.
How many of these pocket arcade ones did they do?
There's a few, but I can only find this one.
Wow.
So, yeah, you move it back and forth and you get points every time you touch the princess.
So this is a Tomy wow that you got me.
That's a wow.
So this is in the same range as the ARG.
ARG.
And kind of a distant cousin of Kongman.
A distant cousin of ARG.
Yes, but it's much more contained than Kongman.
Like Screwball Scramble as well.
It's a vertical.
It's a vertical gameplay.
Yeah.
And again, it's not hard like ARG,
which is built to be difficult.
This is just how fast can you get around the assault course.
Really?
So have you got all the way around?
Yeah, you can get around reasonably easy. But it's a timing thing. So it, how fast can you get around the assault course? Really, so have you got all the way around? Yeah, you can get around
reasonably easy,
but it's a timing thing,
so it's like,
can you beat the clock?
I can love it.
Absolutely love it.
So this one,
you just wind up.
This is the knight's mission.
Yeah.
Wound up as far as it can go,
and then you've got
left and right switch
and start and stop
and a little counter dial there.
And again,
all you've got to do,
it's not that clever,
but you go start, and the little dragons jump up and down oh mad and then you've just got to move
the little knight across to the princess here now what's happened has it faded somewhat the um
the screen because they don't look that clear in there or have they faded or is it just the
lighting in here it's just the lighting oh no they're quite yeah little dragons so every time
you touch the dragon it kind of resets you got've got to go back to the start again that's it
you just have to
get across
that's all
oh I've got to
go back now
because it won't
let you go any
further if you
get stopped by a
dragon
it's like one
tiny
isn't it
it's like one
tiny element of
a Mario game
do you know what
I mean
one sort of
timing thing
one screen
not even
you'd have more
on one screen
than that
little pocket
arcade thing
oh fucking
great so there you go well done Paul Merry on one screen than that so a little pocket arcade thing oh fucking great
so there you
go
well done
Paul
Merry Christmas
Eli Silverman

Oi, Pegg.

Hello, Gandalf

sexual euphemism

ladies legs

yes
thank you yes
oh so you're gonna do it
oh
oh I'll be the lord
of your ring

and I'll treat it
precious
I don't know why
I'm enjoying this
you shall not pass you'll say And I'll treat it precious. I don't know why I'm enjoying this.
You shall not pass, you'll say.
And then you throw it all into Malk Du.
Right, I'm having a Campari and soda. Oh, we're drinking laser gel.
We're having lovely drinks.
This is my first of the day, unlike some people.
Have I got one?
Yeah.
Can I have that one?
Now, have we talked about it on the show?
Have we briefly talked about it?
We briefly talked about it.
I thought it was a soft drink.
I thought it was just...
You bought it thinking it was a soft drink.
Yes, and I gave it to you, and you were like,
I think this has got mose in it.
Yes, because Campari is what?
What is it?
I love the bottles.
I think this has got mose in it. I think that... I love the bottles. I think this has got birds in it.
I think that's got birds in it.
Eewah, eewah.
I think this has got birds in it.
Why do I sound like David Bellamy?
Why do I sound like David Bellamy?
That's what you sound like when you're drunk.
Is it?
Eewah.
Oh, woow, woow, woow, woow.
Indiana.
Gruff.
Gruff.
Rattles.
Bibbly, bobbly.
Oh, doow, doow, doow. Gribbles and gruttles. Oh, doow, doow, doow. Oh, doow, doow, doow. Oh, doow, to have me Campari.
Yes, so Campari.
So we thought it was a soft drink, but it is in fact a mixture of Campari and soda.
What's Campari, though?
That's a famous...
I can never do this thing.
Because you're doing it totally wrong.
He's trying to open the...
Can I show you?
Yeah, I keep forgetting how you do it.
Now, it's very simple.
Yeah.
You place it.
Look at it from above.
Yeah.
Look at your bottom knuckle.
Oh, yeah.
Right, the one that connects...
The knuckle that connects your...
Your pointing finger.
Your hand, yeah.
Yeah.
The knuckle that connects your finger to your hand.
Is that the bottom knuckle?
Or is that the knuckle? What's that? That's a knuckle, I think. That's a knuckle your hand. Is that the bottom knuckle or is that the knuckle?
That's a knuckle, I think. That's a knuckle, yeah.
But that's not a knuckle. Is that a knuckle as well?
That's where you put knuckle dusters. You bend in your finger.
Is that a knuckle as well? That's a knuckle as well.
So you've got two knuckles per finger? Yeah, I think so.
I never thought about that.
Those are knuckles. Those are the knuckles.
So they're knuckles as well.
That's bits where your fingers bend.
And what about the top, the very top of the finger? Is that a knuckle as well? Did you ever play knuckles. So they're knuckles as well. Those bits at the top where your fingers bend. And what about the top, the very top of the finger?
Is that a knuckle as well?
Did you ever play knuckles?
How many knuckles are there
per finger?
Answer me this.
Per finger?
Three.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Yeah.
One, two, three.
Are those knuckles?
But I thought
in a film you only get two.
The back ones are only
the knuckles.
Knuckle talk.
Knuckle talk.
Knuckle talk.
Knuckle talk.
No, I've got it.
Because they say
up to the knuckles. Don't they? Up to the kn Knuckle talk. Knuckle talk. No, I've got it. Because they say up to the knuckles, don't they?
How's up to the knuckles in there?
That's what they say, yes.
You filth.
Or him.
Or it.
I mean that.
Or that.
Or Mr. Oink.
Mr. Oink.
I've got my knuckles.
I'm up to my knuckles in Mr. Oink.
Oh, he's looking for truffles.
I'm up to my knuckles.
Sounds like a really bad ELO song, that.
Up to my knuckles.
An XTC song.
Up to my knuckles in Mr. Oink.
Right. So, but that solves the problemTC song, up to my knuckles in Mr Oink.
But that solves the problem for me. Those aren't knuckles. Those are just the
bits of your finger where it bends. I don't know. Because if you're up to
the knuckle, you're up to the end of the finger where it joins.
And that's where your knuckle is. Open the bottle
for me then. You put it in your bottom knuckle.
Right.
So now it's there.
You've got your square around. If you look from
the top, it's square around.
Yeah.
Now, where do you put the light?
Okay.
You put the lighter in vertically.
This is how we get the torque needed to pop the top off.
Yes?
Happy talky, talky, happy talk.
At a right angle.
Yeah.
What you've been doing is trying to put it up.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah.
I've been doing the leverage from the wrong position.
So all you need to do, once you have that.
Yeah.
And you've placed it so it's just underneath there.
Yeah. This is all good. Pops. Pop. Pop. Just push it. Just pops off. Lever it off. There you go. from the wrong position. So all you need to do, once you have that, and you've placed it so it's just underneath there,
this is all good.
Pops.
Pop.
Just push it.
Just pops off. Lever it off.
There you go.
There's your Campari soda, mate.
I'm going to have a bit of that.
Cheers.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
It's a strange taste.
It's bitter.
What is Campari?
It's a bitter.
It's a bitter, isn't it? It's a bitter. It's a bitter, isn't it?
It's a bitter liqueur.
Made with oranges, I think.
Yeah.
Yes, it's orange.
It's got that kind of pomegranate-y flavour to it.
You know what I mean?
It's black orange or whatever they call it.
It's nice.
I mean, it's weird.
I like it and I hate it.
It's weird.
It's the bitterness that you...
It's very sweet and very bitter at the same time.
Now, let's play cocktail.
I'm going to put a little bit of Campari in.
Campari soda.
Right, one part Campari, one part Mr. JD.
Oh, my God.
And some cherry cream soda or just Campari, soda and JD?
I think we'll use the cherry.
Yeah, let's have the cherry.
Let's put a bit of cherry in.
Here we go.
Say when. Say when. 8. of cherry in. Here we go. Say when.
Say when.
8.30.
Yeah, there we go.
It's a nice dark red.
It's a nice hue.
It's a nice hue.
Dark hue.
I'm going to call this McSquirter.
I'm going to call this McSquirter.
Let's see how we go.
Ooh.
Is it nice?
You have a bit.
It's cheeky.
It kind of offsets
All the worst qualities
Of all the different drinks
No
But it's a plasticky
Plasticky
I hate Jack Daniels
That's what it is
I hate Jack Daniels
I got
My mum gave me a big bottle
Of it for Christmas
She always does
Doesn't she?
Big bottle of it
Is it one with
It's own little stand
It needs to come with
It's own little stand
So you can tip it
Does it have it's own little
Handle?
I don't
No it's not that big It's the next to don't. No, it's not that big.
It's the next biggest.
You know what, Paul?
It's not that big.
So I've got to drink it.
No, Paul.
Actually, it's not that big, actually.
No, I like saying that to people.
People always say it to me.
However, I've also got other booze.
People say it to me.
People always say it to me, don't they?
I love the bottles, by the way.
They always say that to me.
How big is it?
What do you say?
It's not that big, actually.
It's not that big, actually.
I'm sure it's all right.
Let's have a look.
I'm not talking about that.
Come on, Christmas party.
I want to have a look at it.
Fuck you.
Come on.
I want to have a look at it.
If I get it out, it'll be the last thing you ever see.
All right.
Yeah.
I can do a podcast blind.
If I get it out, it'll be the last thing you ever experience in this mortal world.
No, it'll kill you.
Why?
Because it will spring forth like a tide of flesh.
What, like some kind of Lovecraftian beast?
Yes, basically.
Have you ever seen a wall of dick moving at 100 miles per hour?
Wall of dick?
A wall of dick is possibly the most terrifying things you've ever conjured.
The idea of an oncoming wall of dicks.
Yes.
It's not just an idea.
It's the reality.
Should I dame?
So if you drop your pants, a wall of dicks comes out.
No, not dicks.
One dick.
It's a mono-dick-ist-y religion.
Okay, well, I don't want to see it then.
I don't want to see it.
I was going to talk about how I love the bottle shape,
because it looks like a little Bunsen beaker kind of thing.
You know what I mean?
It's like a very modernist.
It's a sort of almost Art Deco or early modernist sort of design.
But what about the texture?
Tell them about the texture.
It's all rippled.
It's all pebble dashed almost.
Doesn't that give you...
That's really sort of 70s.
Do you know what I mean?
It's a very 70s grade.
There's something very 70s about it.
I like it.
I'll tell you what it makes a great.
It makes a great candle holder.
Because it dribbles down and then it starts to build.
And it all becomes very gothic.
It's very exciting.
I recommend that you can make...
Lifehack.
Kapari bottles make great candle holders.
You've just got to get pissed enough to have as many candles to put in as possible.
If you're pissed, you don't want to light a candle, do you?
No.
Well, you shouldn't.
You shouldn't. Safety tip. When you're pissed, you don't want to light a candle, do you? No. Well, you shouldn't. Shouldn't.
Safety tip.
When you light a candle, don't be drunk
or you'll get yourself into a terrible funk.
Only be sober when you've got the flame.
That's how you play the candle-making game.
Now, Paul, there's a...
You can tell that to your kids this Christmas.
You've signed a non-disclosement agreement.
Disclosement agreement, yeah.
Go on. You've signed a non-disclosement agreement. Disclosement agreement, yeah. Go on.
Sign a non-disclosement agreement.
I'm disguised as a disclosement agreement.
You're disguised as an enclosed displacement agreement.
Yeah.
You've signed the NDA, yeah?
Yeah.
Saying you will not perform any music
when Teen Yeti will also be appearing on the bill.
I know.
That was a poem, though.
Like a little...
It sounded like... I've had a word with a lawyer. Oh. We've got an on-site lawyer. I know. That was a poem, though. Like a little... It sounded like...
I've had a word with the lawyer.
Oh.
We've got an on-site lawyer.
I am the lawyer, Jimmy Biscuits.
I'm here for Christmas.
Hello, everybody.
Hello, Jimmy.
It's nice to see you.
Yeah, good.
Now, we've been talking backstage, haven't we?
You and Teen Yeti?
Yes.
About the legal ramifications of...
Well, could you tell Paul what the ramifications are of him singing, please?
What's going on?
Well, let me tell you.
In order to perform tonight, yes, Jimmy, Team Yeti
has agreed exclusively that he will only
and be the only person to
sing in the whole evening. Yes, we know that.
And if Paul transgresses this in any
shape or form with poetry,
with rap, with syncopated
style kind of text, maybe
dynamic parameter, whatever
that stuff is that Shakespeare does.
Oh my god.
Diamic pentameter. Diameter
pentameter. It's not diamic. What is it?
I used to know.
Anything like that
and Paul will go to prison
for 30 days.
Okay. Thank you, Jimmy. I didn't know.
Well, okay. Well, what happens
then? No. I didn't know the rules, okay, well, what happens then? No.
Because I didn't know the rules going in.
Well, how are you trying to get on with the podcast, Paul?
I've had...
I'm Jimmy Biscuits.
Okay, Jimmy.
And I'm going to the backstage area to eat grits.
Yeah, those aren't grits.
Still like them, though.
Still eat them.
Right.
You don't get paid much as a lawyer.
So I'm going go okay next not
doing snowball Jimmy seen yeah thank you oh bye Jimmy it's nice to say you know
what let's invite all the characters in No, where's... no. Oh, yes, I'm... I'm Squishy Jim, you know.
I've done some ploppings.
I'll be squashing them in.
Remember last Christmas, Squishy Jim?
I remember it like it was the other day, my love.
Do you remember how many plops you squished?
If I... Let me just look at my little book.
What was the date?
I believe it was December 24th
when we had our
Oh yes, here it is.
Here it is.
Yes.
Here it is, madam.
How many plops
did we squinch?
20.
You're very thorough
with me.
I am.
I'm Squishy Jim,
hello.
I'm Madam Lady Plop.
Alright, shall we go
back to the backstage area
for fuck's sake?
Let's go hang out
with the charming
Jimmy Biscuits
and of course
Teen Yeti.
Be careful.
Right, they've gone.
Everyone's come to the...
See, you said where were the people coming to the party.
Oh, there's loads of people coming.
There's not loads of people, Paul.
Who else is...
No, please.
Who else?
Listener is a wanker.
I'm a precocious child and I'm just coming to say that you're speaking very naughty.
It's very similar to Madame Lady Pops.
God, I thought it was like Madam
Lady Pops.
Dick titty.
Oh, come on, fall. I'm doing all the
characters for Christmas. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
How the mighty have fallen. I've got more booze.
Okay, well, is this cheap eat?
Is this cheap eat?
I'm starting to feel the effects of this bloody Campari.
Yeah, good.
You are about four sheets down the wind ways.
What does that even mean?
I'm four sheets down the wind ways.
I am being tweaked.
I'm knuckle deep in Mr. Oink.
I've got more booze.
Eli, when we think of Christmas, what do we think of when it comes to boozes?
I think of Baileys.
Yeah, well...
I think they've made me think that by incessantly advertising.
What about mulled wine?
Or a nice mulled cider?
I'd think of mulled wine, or port I think of as well.
What other disgusting drink at Christmas?
Eggnog.
He's reaching!
Eggnog!
Oh no!
I've got oldie eggnog.
I can't do this.
Can I just say I can't do this?
It's the luxurious and decadent eggnog flavour cream.
Full luxurious read.
A delicious seasonal drink inspired by festive eggnog.
Inspired by festive eggnog.
It's eggnog flavoured cream, so it's probably a Bailey's.
It hasn't got eggnog in it.
Its alcohol percentage is 12%.
So it's like wine.
It's not good, but it doesn't have any egg, so it's not...
Eggnog flavour cream.
A blend of fresh cream, fermented alcohol, with spirit and flavour.
Oh, there's no egg in it.
Because with a proper egg, you've got eggnog, innit?
You've got to keep it in the fridge.
Paul is...
What's the half like?
Is this cheap now?
Yeah, it was about £4, that.
£4?
Yeah.
Wow.
This is utter crap. Come on, was about four pound that. Four pounds. Yeah. Wow. This is utter crap.
Come on, love.
Have a sniff.
It's not too strong.
I guess it smells a bit like Bailey's.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, I'm going to...
You ready?
Clean your glass.
Have a little snifter of this.
Here we go.
I'll be in charge of the quantity.
You be your own mum.
It looks like spunk.
It does. It's very white. It looks like spunk. It does.
It's very white.
It's very anemic.
That's eggnog style.
That is the
spunkiest drink
I've ever seen.
It doesn't look
like Bailey's.
Bailey's is browner
isn't it?
Smells like
Cadbury's cream egg.
Yeah.
It's got a very
Now let's have a
little drink of it.
Have a drink of it.
I'm just going to
do a little sip.
I need a sip of
that as well.
Oh don't do that.
That's horrible.
Not a full gag, but not a...
He had a little mouth judder.
Oh, have a little go of that.
You're saying no?
It's not good.
It's not good.
Oh, that's very cheap tasting.
Oh, dear Lord.
It's like...
Oh, that's really bad.
It just tastes nasty. It's like... Oh, that's really bad. It just tastes nasty.
It's like...
It's like...
I don't know.
I'd rather eat spunk.
Would you?
Because I've got some.
Have you?
Dried.
I'm dried.
He's finished it.
Okay, so...
Why is it so nasty, though?
It's hard to describe.
Because you get the very sickly sweet hitting
you.
It's got the
texture of the
Baileys.
It's got that
texture to it.
Yes, but it's
got this almost
orangey kind of
aftertaste.
The alcohol just
comes through and
there's no bridge
between the
sweetness and
the alcohol.
It just kind of
comes up on you
afterwards, the
alcohol, like a rude boy. You know what I mean? You have to use the Dr. Pepper. Just use it around and the alcohol. It just kind of comes up on you afterwards, the alcohol, like a rude boy, you know what I mean?
I have to use the Dr Pepper.
Just use it around and clean up.
And I'm mixing Dr Pepper
now with eggnog.
Cheap eggnog.
So we need, look, it's...
What is that?
It's eggnog and Dr Pepper.
Like you just said!
A jibbly-blibbly-blibbly
Oh, jibbly. Is it jibbly come back?
It's a jibbly Christmas.
Oh, no, this is coming through, Paul. This is just coming through.
I think Teen Yeti's in the room.
Oh, is Teen Yeti in the premises?
He's coming over now, Paul.
Oh, here we go.

There's no comedy.
It's just...
I mean, I'll let you finish it off.
I'm not going to stop.
I'm not going to ruin it, but just think about wrapping it up.
I'm Team Yeti and I will not be performing tonight.
No, you will.
I will not be performing tonight unless there's a change of attitude
from certain
individuals.
Alright, well,
we'll get to
I'll go back.
I'll go back.
I'll give you one
more chance, Eli.
Just talk to him.
Talk to him.
Okay, Jeanette.

How'd it go about Tignetti?
I crossed the line.
I'm sorry.
I'm drunk.
I'm sorry, mate.
You are.
Now, what other cheap eats do we have?
Well, I thought we'd take a little break
and then we'll come back with the finger food
and the snacks for the Christmas dinner.
Are we having a break before then?
All right, let's talk about fucking music then.
Let's put some music on.
Oh, I bought a Chas and Dave...
No, a Chas and Dave album was given to us at Christmas.
I love that.
Now...
Are we not having a break then?
No, we'll talk about the music.
Then we'll have a little break and then I'll get the food out.
Because we need music at this Christmas do.
Well, we've got
Teen Yeti performing.
We do, but we need some
background ambient music.
What was his song called again?
Christmas in Yeti Land.
Yes.
Looking forward to it.
It sounds magical.
Could be the next Frog song.
I think he's going for that.
Yeah.
Wide marketing.
Looking forward to it.
So, yeah.
So, the reason to bring it up because I've been playing it while we've been here at the party.
I've just been playing this song, and it's Chaz and Dave's Christmas album.
But you know what's interesting?
It's not Christmassy.
There's no Christmas songs in it.
There isn't a single Christmas song in it.
It was given to us at the live show, and it was, you know, because someone went,
Ah, Chaz and Dave's, Charity Shop, Vinyl.
Ah, they'll like it.
Yeah.
But it's good.
It's just, I think the feeling is, is that you put it on at a Christmas party. Yeah. It's kind of, you know. It's one They'll like it. Yeah. But it's good. It's just, I think the feeling is,
is that you put it on at a Christmas party.
Yeah.
It's kind of, you know.
It's one of those party records.
Yeah.
It's just the same beat as Jaunty.
Like we've covered before.
But in terms of those having a knees up party records
that used to come out,
it's about as good as it's going to get, isn't it?
Well, it's Chaz and Dave.
They're fucking great musicians.
Chaz and Dave.
They fucking great piano work.
There's a kind of funkiness, yeah.
Isn't there?
There's a sort of,
there's a pneumatic sort of bumpiness to the rhythm, of funkiness, yeah, isn't there? There's a sort of, there's a pneumatic sort of
bumpiness to the rhythm,
which is actually quite cool,
isn't it?
It's interesting when you think about it.
They're good players.
They were session players,
weren't they?
Session?
Were they?
Yes.
I didn't know that.
You did know that.
No, I didn't.
They famously played on that
Labby Siffrey tune,
which was sampled
by Eminem for his biggest hit,
My Name Is.
Really?
You know that thing?
That's from Chaz and Dave.
That's Chaz and Dave.
I'm fucking
playing with
Labby Siffrin.
He stole that Dido
riff as well.
Yeah, but it's hip hop.
That's what they do.

And he could cause all sorts of trouble up from Mount Grop Pants.
Sometimes I lie awake in bed at night looking over at Mount Grop Pants,
looking at the little lights all dancing around,
and I think, what's going on over there?
What is going on?
All the flies
buzzing around it.
You know.
No, but you can see
the green fluorescent
stench marks.
The swamp gas.
The swamp gas.
The movement.
The way your fabric
flutters with
cockroachian movement.
There we are.
Well, you've got
the scribbles, don't you?
Yeah, you've got
the scribbles.
They're eating
Here we are.
Here we are. you've got the scribbles don't you yeah you've got the scribbles they're eating here we are here we are the Christmas scribble
it's a Christmas scribble
ladies and gentlemen
alright good so
yeah we're going to play
some Chas and Dave then
we've been playing it
throughout the whole show
are you playing it
I'm going to play it
in the background
but this interesting thing
is the first one's
basically a riff on
Stars on 45
but they call it
it's a medley
it's a medley
but it has that thing where they keep the same rhythm beat, whatever,
up front, the whole pace of the track.
They're mixed, yeah.
But they play it live.
They segue perfectly, yeah.
Do they play it live and all in one take?
Well, I think there are moments where the song stops and then they bring it back and
fade in, fade out.
They must have edited it.
They must be some, like, yeah.
Side one is all of that.
It's just a medley.
Any old iron. Any old iron.
Any old iron.
Any, any, any old iron.
Or I've been cleaning windows.
I've been cleaning windows.
Yeah, don't.
Mate, don't be singing.
It's hard though, isn't it?
Look, I can see Freddie Goon looking over.
I know.
He's so big as well.
He's a huge man.
He's attractive.
Look, stop.
Maybe I'll go over with Freddie tonight.
You can't.
I'll ask him if he wants to come back.
Don't give me up for that.
He was already quite angry with you for singing, you know.
All right, okay.
Jimmy Biscuits is sold.
All right.
Anything else to say
about Chaz and Dave?
I love them.
Yeah, I love them.
The B-side is impressive
because that's another live set.
The funny thing about Chaz and Dave
is they were so ubiquitous
in the 80s
that people,
they were like this sort of
byword for naffness, weren't they?
Everyone hated them
because it was associated
with the type of Britain
that was dying up,
that kind of earthy, cockney, you know what I mean?
They were huge.
People sort of resented their popularity.
But people forgot that actually they wrote great tunes.
Yeah.
Played exemplary.
He's just like great folk musicians.
And when you listen to it back,
and just the fucking boogie woogie they've got going on.
It's sweet and the fat bass.
Yeah, yeah.
It's great.
It's great stuff.
It's nice.
So that's probably one of my favourite easy listening records
ever actually
it's in the easy listening
would you call it that
it's like a party medley
I mean
they know they've made it
as a throw away thing
for Christmas
but it's still good
but
come on compare it to that
what was that other one
Les Dawson
and the Irish
no
Ross Abbott
that's the comparison
that's a party record
but
oh
Bernard Manning
Bernard Manning
and
although there are some dodgy songs on there I've always thought this is a genre we should cover more That's the comparison That's a party record But Oh Bernard Manning Bernard Manning and Yeah
Although there are some dodgy songs on there
I've always thought this is a genre we should cover more on the pod
So can we do more of those?
Yeah
There is one song
Do you know they're all old standards
Like Any Old Die
And Laughing Policeman
And all that kind of stuff
Laughing Policeman
End of the Second World War
Yes
Musical sort of stuff
There's one
Because they're old fashioned
Cleaning Windows
Yeah
There's that song
where it's like
she's too fat for me
yeah I've not known
that one
she's too fat for me
did they make that one up
no that's an old standard
it's like an old
that one's been dropped
from the piano
in recent years
hasn't it
you don't really go around
saying she's too fat
you have her
not only is it
misogynistic
treating women as objects
but also fat shaming
all in one
I mean like
so that's what
our Christmas music's been
what other Christmas songs
do you like though
I don't think we're
talking about this
are there any songs
written for Christmas
that you actually think
are good songs
and good Christmas songs
very very few
yeah
I quite like
War Is Over
I like
Slade
yeah
I mean
it's Christmas
I like that is the rumour true that that was like a B-side originally and then it got Slade yeah I mean it's Quint Smith
I like that
is the rumour true
that that was like
a B-side originally
and then it got
accidentally released
or they played it
on the radio
and then it was like
oh it's a big hit now
and now every Christmas
their bank account goes
ka-ching
I also like Wizard
yeah
but it's because of the music
it's because of the actual music
as well as the song
it's just the way
it's rock
you know
I like the way it's
when was the last
original Christmas
number one in the
UK hit?
Because all these
days all it is is an
X Factor fucking
singer doing an
old ballad.
But that's because
the pop market has
completely changed.
Pop music of that
kind of wide scale
pop music doesn't
really exist anymore
does it?
No.
Could you name a
song that was like
the biggest hit?
Could you name the biggest pop hit of this year?
Oh, no.
Fuck off.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, but you could back in the 80s, couldn't you?
You could in the 90s.
Maybe, yeah.
But it's like there's more coming at us now in terms of music and sound and YouTube.
I can't keep up.
I can't keep up.
I know it is dead.
I can't keep up.
Pop doesn't exist like that anymore.
Pop will eat itself.
It has.
It has.
And now it's taken a shit.
And now it's taken a big poo.
Yeah.
So it's just going to be endless fucking Pogues.
Endless.
Forevermore.
Because of the versions.
The last Christmas song I remember being new and a hit.
The Pogues, I'm sick of that.
I'm totally sick of that.
I'm sick of that.
I'm totally sick of that.
And the Wham thing.
The Wham again.
Bullshit.
I'm totally sick of that as well.
Bullshit.
The Darkness.
What was their one?
The Bells Ring Out for Christmas
Wasn't that Wizard?
No
I can't remember the title song
But The Bells
Oh fuck
The Darkness is a crunk song
About bells at Christmas time
But I wish it could be
Christmas every day
He goes
The bells ring out
For Christmas
Oi
Sorry
Oi
He's coming over here
You're going to get us
Fucking kicked out of this party He's coming over here We You're going to get us fucking kicked out of this party.
He's coming over here.
We weren't doing nothing.
We were just talking about Christmas songs.
Hey, I'm Freddy Kuhn, yeah?
Now listen.
I'm thinking about it.
I'm thinking about it.
It's making me hard.
It's making me hard.
Freddy, we're going to stop now.
We're going to stop talking about Christmas songs.
You know what I mean?
Making me hard downstairs, yeah?
Hard downstairs.
He just wanted to say that.
I'm going over there.
I'm going back to Jimmy Biscuits.
Right, well, on that point, I think we should take a little break.
Freddie, can I give you my phone number? I'm already sick of Christmas, Paul.
Honestly, I am.
I hate Christmas.
I got tea bags for Christmas.
I got tea bags for Christmas off my mate.
I thought Mikasa Tsukasa was this thing, right,
Paul, where we just bought a piece of shit
and went, ah, that.
I thought we might make a bit of an effort with it being Christmas,
that was all. You certainly did.
But, Paul, to be honest,
you're into this shit as well, aren't you?
I am, but you were jealous of my R,
so I've gotten you that. I fucking love it.
I'm looking at it now
and it just, it makes me, gives me a warm feeling of being around Sesame Street as a child, do you that. I fucking love it. I'm looking at it now and it just, it makes me,
gives me a warm feeling
of being around Sesame Street
as a child.
Do you know what I mean?
Hey, I'm Kermit the Frog.
No, he,
no.
Hey,
it's Miss Piggy.
Oh,
Kermit,
Kermit the Frog.
Jimmy Biscuits
is getting a call.
Looks like he's getting a call
from the Disney Foundation.
Hello, yes. Oh, Disney?
Wow. Okay.
Okay, we'll stop. Stop
doing fucking Muppets.
You've heard him. Alright, we've got to stop doing Muppets.
Okay, yeah. Waka, waka, waka.
No, Paul, stop it. I'm Gonzo.
Paul. I can do all the Muppet voices.
Tell me you'd do a Muppet voice. Which one?
Ralph the Dog.
Woof. I'm Ralph the Dog. No, he doesn't sound anything like that
I'm Ralph the Dog
He doesn't sound like that either
So you can't
So when you said
I can do all the Muppet voices
You cannot
You're ruining my Christmas party
And I said Sesame Street anyway
Alright
So not the Muppets
I'm Grover
He doesn't
You're doing that voice again
Cookie Monster
Do you like it?
Paul you're too drunk
To do the podcast
I'm not too drunk
Let's get this over and done with
You're going to ruin any comedic
I've got food
I've got food for the party
Now look what I've got
Food for the party
Christmas Walkers.
Oh, here we go.
Right.
So, we were talking about these many episodes ago.
We should say very clearly from the start,
this is not part of the official...
League of Snacks and Crisps.
League of Snacks and Crisps.
Sleeves of Snacks and Crisps.
That's what he said.
Sleeve my smacky crisps.
Anyway, these are Christmas edition versions of Walker's Crisps.
And they are Christmas flavoured snacks.
What's the favourite Christmas?
What's the favourite Christmas for you, Paul?
Well, for me, oh, it's eggnog.
It's not eggnog.
Do you have eggnog traditionally?
You're just talking without thinking.
That's what you're doing.
I'll talk without thinking right now.
Eli's big dick.
Eli's big dick. Oh, Eli's big dick.
Oh, Freudian slip, much?
You've gone automatically.
This is what happens when you get pissed.
You get real sex on for me.
Turkey and cranberry and I like cherries, chocolate, orange.
I think of that mulled wine smell.
Oh, yeah.
And like the fucking disgusting taste of fruitcake.
There's Christmas.
I gave you my arse.
I hate the whole palette of Christmas apart from ham.
I like ham.
I also like sprouts.
But ham is not particularly Christmas, is it?
Oh, it is.
You're Christmas ham.
Anyway, Walkers have done some Christmas...
What do you mean it's not particularly Christmas?
Walkers have done a Christmas dinner for sprout lovers package.
It's a six pack.
Two flavors of Christmas-style snacks.
So one is turkey and stuffing flavour.
We'll try those.
Pigs in blanket flavour.
And infamously, Brussels sprouts flavour.
Now, that's the only one that has any real interest to me.
Because turkey and stuffing flavour, what's that going to be?
It's going to be a slightly more...
Chickeny.
Yeah, it'll be roast chicken flavour, won't it?
With a more oniony sort of maybe. That's my prediction. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be roast chicken flavour, won't it? With more of an onion-y sort of maybe.
That's my prediction.
Yeah.
It'll be roast chicken
with an onion-y,
more onion-y.
Pigs in blankets,
bacon, smoky bacon.
Fucking smoky bacon.
As an aside,
as an aside,
in case you didn't like
the Brussels sprouts flavour
of these crisps,
they brought out
another six pack
which had no Brussels sprouts
but instead it had
like a cheese thing
instead in there.
I can't remember what it was, but it was an alternate
flavour. That's silly.
You know, people do people... I think we should save
brussel sprouts for last. Yes, we should.
Let's watch this. This is...
Let's go for the turkey. Alright, let's do
turkey stuffing. Give it a half.
I'm opening the bag.
What do you think it smells of?
Roast chicken flavoured crisps.
Have a sniff of that.
Yeah.
Oh.
It's not bad, but it tastes like chicken.
It tastes like roast chicken snacks.
There's a slight difference.
Is there?
To me, it smells like beef crisps, which you know what it sees these days.
Oh, I see what you mean.
Remember beef flavoured crisps?
Yeah.
Mixed with a chicken flavoured crisp.
Well, let's have a taste.
I'll take a crisp.
Here we go.
I'm entering the crisp temple.
Ah.
It does have a turkey flavour.
I will say that for it.
Really?
Yeah.
And you can taste a bit of the stuffing.
A bit of that sagey kind of saison onion thing.
Now, to me, they just taste very much like a roast chicken flavour. Really? Yeah. I think there's a bit of turkey therey kind of saison onion thing now to me they just taste very much like a roast chicken
really
I think there's
a bit of turkey there
hang on
no
no no no
okay
regardless of that
is it a nice snack though
quite nice yeah
quite nice
I like them
yeah they're nice
walkers you know
you're going to get
a nice flavoured
that is just chicken
yeah
I told you
fucking call it
just call it turkey mate
I'm trying not to spit
huge flecks of crisp
at me
sorry
just call it
turkey stuffing
give it chicken flavour
yeah
pigs in blankets
yeah
these mugs
these crisp
buying public
they're cunts
it's just fucking bacon
we'll just keep them
confused
bob them off
about the existence or non-existence of cheese moments.
We'll just keep them confused about it.
Did you hear that tweet?
Yeah.
Someone saw one in Scotland off the island.
Yeah, but I didn't see any photographs.
I didn't see any photographs.
And when I said, why didn't you get any?
He said, oh, he's running late, so he could.
I think it's pooey bullshit.
Pooey bullshit.
Pooey.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, he's not going to be happy.
I don't care.
No, that's right, Paul.
Because I think perhaps what happened is he saw one of these backboards that has Cheese Moments still on it.
And he got confused.
Yeah.
Because it did confuse me.
Because Walkers have officially said they've officially released a statement, haven't they, Paul?
Yeah.
And what does that statement basically say?
It basically said, because we don't have it to hand right now, because it's our Christmas party and we've got some time off.
Anyway, it says something
to the effect of
we stopped doing them
ages ago.
We might bring them back
but don't think about it.
Corporate nonsense.
We appreciate your feedback.
So I think that's really
put the...
Feedback is.
It's put the issue to bed,
isn't it?
No one's been able to produce
a packet of cheese moments
for me.
No.
It's a unicorn of snacks.
I want to see it
and I want to see a packet
with a best before date that isn't, you know, two years in the past. 1986. Yeah. It's a unicorn of snacks. I want to see it and I want to see a packet with a best before date
that isn't,
you know,
two years in the past.
Yeah.
Although I would like to see one
which has a bag
that is off
because I'd eat those.
Yeah.
Not fussy.
Right, next snack.
What would you give it out of five?
Three.
It's a standard crisp.
Three Christmas puddings
out of five.
That's good.
I like roast chicken flavoured crisps.
But am I right as well?
You don't see
beef flavoured crisps very often these days.
No, only Mont-de-Mont, really.
Maybe McCoy's.
Yeah.
Anyway, pigs and blanket.
I'm giving it the old...
Give it the huff.
Bacon.
Bacon.
It didn't seem very secure in your utterance of bacon.
I mean, give it a sniff. What do you think?
You've got a better nose than me.
No, no.
You're right.
It's not very bacon-y. But there's a bit of sausage there.
There's definitely some sausage.
You can get a bit of sausage on the end of your nose.
I can get a sausage right up my nose.
I'm going to taste these now.
Bacon.
The half on both of these has been more unusual than the actual taste, if you ask me.
Yeah.
Again, satisfying flavour. Yeah, they're good crisp.
Walker's bacon are good.
Smoky bacon are good, aren't they?
I sometimes go for them with my meal deal.
Good choice.
You know?
Get a sandwich.
When I'm feeling decadent, I get cheddars.
Mini cheddars.
You can't go wrong with mini cheddars.
Well, you can.
I hate them.
Here we go.
The one we're all talking about.
We haven't done mini cheddars on the League of Snacks, have we?
We'll get there.
Anyway, here we go.
The Brussels sprouts flavoured crisps.
Without any further ado, let's open it up.
I don't know. What would it be like?
What was it going to be like?
Give it a huff.
It smells like Brussels sprout farts.
Give that a snuff.
Ooh.
Ooh, I like these.
I already like these.
Do you?
He's giving it a proper snuff.
Oh, there's something slightly gherkin-y about it.
Oh, he's reached his tickle point.
Oh, mate, and they've got a green...
I hope we caught that.
Yeah.
Anyway, a drogan next door.
We've kicked...
He's not allowed in the party.
These are green.
I have to,
I have to shake a few out
for you here, Paul.
Yeah, they're green.
They're tinged.
They're tinged.
Now that's a bit dodgy.
Yeah.
Do you remember when you used to get
Golden Wonder cheese and onion flavour
and they'd actually have
green potatoes in?
That weren't,
like,
Yeah, but I like them.
Right, let's eat them.
Oh. They do taste of Brussels sprouts, though.
I like those a lot.
I like those a lot.
Those are nice.
There's a bit of cheesy onion to it as well.
A little bit.
It's quite subtle.
But it's very Brussels sprout-y.
You know what they taste like?
Brussels sprouts?
No, they taste like that crispy seaweed that you get in Chinese restaurants.
Oh, yeah.
Which is, in fact, cabbage that they've cooked. You know what I mean? Don't they taste a bit like that? Yeah, they're nice. I like restaurants. Oh, yeah. Which is in fact cabbage that they've cooked.
You know what I mean?
Don't they taste a bit like that?
Yeah, they're nice.
I like them.
They're good.
They're novelty.
Yeah.
They're a bit farty.
I like them.
I like those.
That's a flavour of crisp
I haven't experienced before.
What would you give
the pigs and blankets
out of five?
Another three for me.
And what about
the Brussels sprouts?
I'll go four on Brussels sprouts.
I'm going to say three.
Fine, but a novelty.
No, you don't think that could
I could eat that
as a regular
it does
now that I've eaten
a few
it feels like
someone's boffed
in my gob
put their bum hole
right in your mouth hole
yep
anyway
the snacks keep coming
good episode Paul
what's coming
what's coming up
mini rolls
everyone loves Cadbury's mini rolls everyone loves
Cadbury's mini rolls
these are the brand
knock off from
Holly Lane
Holly Lane
so
they're just mini rolls
chocolate sponge
with a creamy
would you like more Campari
yeah I would
can I open it
can I have a go
watch me
yeah be careful
because I opened it
so vigorously
that I spilt some
on my leg
it's alright
that one's been
still for a while
yeah at the right angle you're thinking too much about the horizontal like that yeah I know vigorously that I spilt some on my leg. It's alright, that one's been a still for a while. Yeah?
At a right angle, you're thinking too much about the horizontal.
Like that? Yeah.
But even more at a right angle.
Like that? Just straight down.
And behind this knuckle. Which knuckle?
The actual knuckle, not the other bits.
Behind the knuckle, not the fleshy bit, the knuckle.
The knuckle. And what are those other bits called?
Oh god, you're useless.
Watch me.
He's done it. Ah, done it.
Right, have some Campari.
Ah, Campari.
Right.
Right.
So, good.
Next snack.
Mini rolls.
Oh, do we have to eat those?
Yeah.
I don't want one.
So, mini rolls are just chocolate sponge with a creamy centre,
and it's all swirly in the middle, hence the roll. Cadburys make lovely ones. I don't want one. So a mini roll's just chocolate sponge with a creamy centre and it's all swirly in the middle,
hence the roll.
Cadbury's make lovely ones.
I don't want any.
Eat that.
I've fucking bought these now.
I've spent 20 quid on all this.
Which, you know,
on a budget,
is quite good, actually.
It's a fucking spring.
It's a roll.
It's shit.
That's going to eat it.
I'm going to eat it.
Now, it's the knock-off brand.
Bullshit.
Ah, that's really
not very nice at all
oh the chocolate's weak
oh yeah
do you know what I mean
the chocolate has nothing
it doesn't taste
chocolatey at all
just that sweet
that is
it's that sharp sweetness
that you always talk about
that is a bad facsimile
of a mini roll
really awful
it's funny how you get
to appreciate
like a mini roll
when you compare it to
no yeah
like a Cadbury's one.
This spiky, sugary shit.
Yeah, this awful, awful, sharp sugar.
It's really bad, isn't it?
He's putting it in the bin.
It's in the bin already.
Those are bad.
How much were they?
No, not much.
One out of five.
A quid for a box of whatever.
Is this Cheap Eats, by the way?
We didn't do the jingle.
Oh, no, actually, we can't do the jingle.
No, we can.
Jingles are still allowed because they're part of the show.
Good.
Thanks.
Festive edition. Can you cut that out
And put it at the beginning
Of this segment
Yeah I'll do that
I won't
And I haven't
Fucking hell Paul
Fucking masks are slipping
A bit isn't it
You twats
Try not to fall over
Now
You've had too much
Jack Daniels
Every Christmas
There are certain things
That are common
Around the Christmas tree
In the UK
A box of quality street
A tin of roses
You know
And certain snacks
What else?
What I'm going to say right now
Yeah but say another one
Before you go to that one
Bag of nuts
Don't mind if I do
Tangerines
Easy peel
Stop now
Because I said Start again Quality street Quality street Bag of nuts. Ooh, don't mind if I do. Tangerines. Easy peel. Stop now. Because I said...
Clementines.
Start again.
Quality street.
Quality street.
Ooh.
Bag of nuts.
Ten of roses.
Ooh.
Or perhaps you'd like something like a big bag of nuts.
Ooh, don't mind if I do.
Lame.
So...
You cut that bit and put it back in the beginning.
No, I might even just cut this out completely.
Because it was shit.
Come on.
It didn't work.
Anyway. Fuck you. If didn't work. Anyway.
Fuck you.
If there's one thing that you see under a Christmas tree,
certainly in my house growing up,
I don't know about your house, but...
We were Jewish, Paul.
It was popular.
Yeah, basically.
No, we celebrated Christmas.
Yeah, because you were heathens.
So you would have a big box of matchmakers.
We never had those.
Really?
No.
They were popular in my house. Orange matchmakers and mint. Mint were the famous ones. But these box of matchmakers. We never had those. Really? No. They were popular in my house.
Orange matchmakers and mint.
Mint were the famous ones.
But these aren't matchmakers.
Were they called matchmakers?
Yeah.
Was that the actual branded one is called a matchmaker?
And they were long.
Who makes those, Capri?
I don't know, actually.
Thorntons?
No.
It's one of those.
Anyway, chocolate.
It's a proper brand, not this.
These are made by Choc-er.
Where did you get these?
Lidl.
Lidl.
So it's a Lidl knock-off.
Little bit knock-off.
No, you're singing.
Freely singing.
No, that's not.
That's a jingle.
Little bit knock-off.
No, it's not.
It is.
Who?
For Lidl?
Yeah.
They can't.
Look.
They're knocking on our door asking for jingles.
Jimmy Driscuit's car phone is really off the hook.
What's that?
Lidl?
What the?
What?
Don't do the Liddle shit.
They don't need it.
Sorry, Jimmy.
Sorry, Jimmy.
All right.
I don't know where Freddy Goon is.
Must be in the toilet or something.
Little bit of dip-oo.
No.
Stop.
I love you doing it, though.
Why?
I'll risk a court case.
Because it's funny.
Open the minstics.
It's funny when I say,
Little, little, little.
No, it's not.
Who do you mean little?
These fucking syllables.
These syllables just recur.
There's all the little small ones.
Are these smaller than you remember them?
Yeah, because they're longer matchmakers.
Oh, they're longer, you're right.
And these are called mint sticks by Chocolat.
So let's just have a little nibble on a mint stick.
Oh, they're all right.
Not bad.
Not bad.
The sharp sugariness of the cheap chocolate works better in this context, doesn't it? With the mint. nibble on a mint stick. Oh, they were right. Not bad. Not bad.
The sharp sugariness of the cheap chocolate
works better
in this context, doesn't it?
With the mint.
Yeah, with the minty bit.
Oh, okay.
Much better.
Much better than the Hollylands, yeah.
Yeah, because that was not good.
That was horrible.
Awful.
And you couldn't even taste the cream.
No, it's...
Like a bad Twinkie.
It's a bad thing.
Mint sticks?
So what?
Our conclusion so far
is spend some money on your Swiss rolls or whatever.
No, if you're on a budget, this is alright, the mint sticks.
Oh, they're good, but you want to spend some money on the, what are these called?
Choc rolls.
Don't get choc rolls.
Don't get them.
They're awful.
Mini rolls are the cool.
I'd eat about seven bags of those Brussels crisps and then go to the loo.
And then I'd shit.
Wow.
Worth it. Paul,
what do you mean worth it? What else you got in your sack
of goodies?
Another thing under the tree, again on a minty
chocolate flavour, is the
world famous after
eight mint, the Le Fafir
Mint. Which was sold initially
as a sort of yuppie product, you know,
sophisticated, but that got very
ironically,
sort of,
very quick.
It was like Vionetta
in the 80s.
Like,
ooh,
Vionetta,
you're posh.
And now it's like,
oh,
90p, mate.
You know what I mean?
So,
I love my
After 8 Mints.
I quite like it.
I like the little design,
the little clock in the middle
with the thing.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like,
after you've eaten
your meal, sir, we'll give you a think that's to uh and did you know because of
the meaning of life by monty python yeah where he's the mr creosote scene yeah he tries to feed
him a wafer mint the actual pronunciation of the word wafer yeah is changing because of that film
so more people are saying wafer because they've that's the only time they've come across that so
they think because everyone says wafer the thing,
whenever you say, you know what I mean?
When that's mentioned, because they've all seen the film,
people actually, children are starting to think
that's how you say wafer.
That's depressing.
It's weird.
No, just language is constantly mutating like that, isn't it?
We are going to try these knockoffs called Mint Thins.
Buy again.
Same company. Chocure.
They're not a real company. Dark chocolate with a
peppermint flavoured fondant filling.
They're a brand that has been invented
by Lidl. They're not going to be
available anywhere else, are they, apart from Lidl?
Now, what are their sleeves like?
They're little sleeves, just like the...
That's the class, though, of the after eight.
The little wet sleeves
they put in
little bit of
wastage
yeah it's waste
it's horrible
fucking waste
for what
these have no design
on them
they've got the
they've got the
chocker
they've got a ripple
have they got chock
no they don't
they just have a
oh actually on the
actual wafer itself
no nothing on the
wafer itself
let's have a little
bite
they're a bit thicker than an After 8 well they feel it No, nothing on the wafer itself. Let's have a little bite.
They're a bit thicker than an after eight.
They taste a bit coconutty.
Yeah, you're right.
Maybe they've got coconut in them.
No.
Let me see.
I think they're all right for knock-offs.
Again, it's that sharpness.
There's not enough chocolate taste.
No, it's a lot of sugar.
Dark chocolate, 51%. Yeah. Cocoa,
sugar, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Peppermint flavour, fondant filling.
Glucose, gelling agent.
No.
No coconut, but perhaps it's that gelling agent
and stuff that I'm tasting and it reminds me of a bounty
because it's got that in it as well. It has something
in the fondant. It's got something.
It tastes like confectionery-style coconut.
Yeah.
Like a mound.
We had mounds on this show, didn't we?
Eli knows his creamy fillings in his mouth.
He knows the difference.
Why is that, Paul?
Why is that, though?
I don't know.
What is it about me personally that makes me like that?
Because you've got a good tongue for cream.
Yeah.
Good.
All right. Thank you. I'm actually really drunk. I know, man. Yeah Good I'll just Alright thank you
I'm actually really drunk
I know man
Let's just get this over with
I'm at that point now
Where the room is moving
Even though I'm still
That's not good Paul
You're lightweight as well
That's the only other problem
When was the last time
You had a drink
You've been boozing it up
With your new girlfriend
Haven't you
Who's not so new anymore
No
I don't mean she's old.
I meant she's not so new to you.
Where's your girlfriend?
I don't have one.
Merry Christmas.
Come on.
I've got a load of food, but we've got too much.
What do you want to do?
I'll let you talk.
I'll show you what we've got left, and you can just pick one that we eat.
I want to eat them all.
Why can't we have them all?
We've got stackers. They look like knock-off what we eat. All right. I want to eat them all. Why can't we have them all? We've got stackers.
They look like knock-off Pringles.
Barbecue.
Original.
Sour cream and onion.
We've got...
A mince pie.
I don't like mince pies.
I don't like them.
Right, well, that's that sorted.
I've got a little Christmas cake.
Oh, I hate, oh that's so grim there.
I've also got a Christmas cake.
Mini marzipan topped.
Those do not appeal to me at all.
Have you got anything else?
No, that's it.
Let's try the Pringles.
Let's try the Pringles.
Try the knock off Pringles. Yeah, fine. Pringles. Try the knock-off Pringles.
Yeah.
Fine.
I'll eat those cakes later.
You will.
I don't want them to go to waste, Paul.
No.
You'll have those mince pies?
Oh.
Paul.
Oh.
Paul.
Oh.
Paul.
Feeling hot, hot, hot. Let's just try it.
Shh.
Don't sing.
Don't sing.
Now he's talking to himself. I'm talking to me. All right. You all right, Paul, hot. Let's just try it. Shh, don't sing. Don't sing. Now he's talking to himself.
I'm talking to me.
All right.
You all right, Paul?
Yeah.
What should we do?
I've got stackers.
Where's the...
You've got three, but there's only two here.
I've got original.
I've got barbecue.
Shush.
What else have we got?
Paul.
Oh, there they are.
Now I've got them.
Pass the fake Pringles over.
What are they called?
Stackers by Snack Right.
Which is another stupid name.
Snack Right.
Again, I think Oldie owned this or Lidl.
Where did you get this?
All from Lidl, didn't you get it?
All from Lidl or all from Oldie.
I got them all from one place, so it's all from one of them.
You don't remember which supermarket you were in?
No. I don't. Do supermarket you were in? No.
I don't.
Do you remember anything?
This is your life.
You're meant to be experiencing it
from moment to moment.
I tune in and out
of my own life.
I know you do.
Even when you're making a podcast.
I don't know.
I'm not part of it.
You are.
Right, Paul.
I don't know what's happened to you.
I know what's happened to you I know what's happened to you
but
I've had a little bit of Campari
Yeah, don't do it
Don't do this one, please
Don't do this one
Had a little
Do you want some more farty crisps?
You can have some farty crisps
I like those
They're alright
I like them
You can have the farty crisps
Open the stackers
Well, they're like Pringles
but they're knock-offs
SnackRite did the infamous
Hula Hoop knockoffs
That made all the newspapers
Saying they were indistinguishable
From the original Hula Hoop
But actually
Well in terms of the design
And the flavour
They were exactly like Hula Hoops
We were able to distinguish
Yeah
But we did agree as well
That they were
Fine
Totally great alternative
To Hula Hoops on a budget
But you could tell the difference
So let's just see how stackers stack up.
No, don't.
I've still got it even though I'm tipsy.
I know.
It's hilarious.
You've still got it.
Paul, I'm so glad you're here.
I hope we do slow dancing.
I hope Teen Yeti does a slow song at the end and we can slow dance.
Well, it's his new song.
It's going to be a big Christmas hit.
It's his debut. Anyway, what would you like. Well, it's his new song and it's his... It's going to be a big Christmas hit. It's his debut.
Anyway,
what would you like to do?
It's his Christmas song debut.
He's had other hits, obviously.
Pringles aren't potato crisps,
are they, strictly speaking?
They are reformed potato mash
and they're made of
injection moulded potato.
That's weird, isn't it?
Well, discos are the same thing,
aren't they?
Yeah, that's true.
And I like a disco.
I like a disco.
And so is a square crisp.
These are all based on just the way they make monster munch,
but out of mashed corn.
I guess.
You know, if you're objecting to that, it's like...
It's just like Biffo.
Mr. Biffo hates the texture of Pringles.
Some people do, yeah.
Because he thinks they're fake snacks.
But I bet he happily guzzles down a spaced invader or space raider.
He likes those, exactly.
He's a fucking two-faced liar.
Isn't he?
No, biffer.
Making me...
You know what he made me do for Digitizer?
What?
Fucking drop prawn juice on my face.
He did, I saw that.
Fucking laughing at me as a baby thing.
Making me sniff dirty rings.
And you sniffed them.
I sniffed them.
You sniffed them.
They're nasty.
Military made.
They're made for military things.
So they get used to...
Like, you know, like, people
who might be around a lot of death or nastiness.
What?
It's for training people for the smell of death?
Like the army.
So, like, yeah, of course.
Because, you know, your army soldiers used to go in and be like, ugh, when there's, like,
corpses everywhere rotting in the sun.
So, they go and make them sniff it so they can get used to it.
Like bin men, I guess, who have to get used to Merry Christmas.
They don't train bin men with, like with bin juice sniffing sessions, do they?
Hey, we're doing some testing down
at the fucking bin shop today.
Sniff this. It's me cock.
I don't think that's on the test, sir.
Oh, but the cheese has got
such a lovely flavour. It's very
camembert-like. Ooh, the cheese
off the end of my dick.
Anyway, let's
just start with sour cream and onion, because I fucking hate that flavour, so let's get it out of my dick. Now, Mary. Anyway, let's just start with
sour cream and onion
because I fucking hate that flavour
so let's get it out of the way.
Now, again,
they're just like Pringles, ladies and gentlemen.
You hate sour cream and chive flavour?
No.
Yeah.
Oh, they're smaller a little bit
but they have the exact same shape.
Paraboloid.
They are slightly smaller, aren't they?
Paraboloid.
Do you know why I know that?
Why do you know that?
Because in Ghostbusters,
Holtzman's eaten them
at the beginning of the film and he goes, you can't get enough of these salty paraboloids or something Do you know why I know that? Why do you know that? Because in Ghostbusters, Holtzman's eaten them at the beginning of the film
and she goes,
you can't get enough
of these salty paraboloids
or something.
So that's how I know
these are shaped.
The original Ghostbusters?
No, the 2016 one.
Oh, right.
Yeah, Holtzman.
She eats one,
she goes,
these salty paraboloids.
It's a paraboloid.
So that's the...
Probably.
Topology, I think they call it.
Study of surfaces.
Paraboloid.
Let's eat them.
They've got a harder texture. Yeah, they are a little bit tighter and I like that. Itaboloid. Let's eat them. They've got a harder texture.
Yeah, they are a little bit harder, and I like that.
It's more crunch. I wouldn't say it's more crunch.
It's just a different type of crunch.
They haven't managed to replicate
the texture, have they? Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. That's alright. I mean, I don't
like cheese and chive, though, as a flavour.
They're fine. Fine, just
fine. Alright, next one.
Barbecue. Now now when people say barbecue
what does that say to you
because it seems like a weird
thing today
what does it say to me
when people say barbecue
as in flavour
I think it's quite clear
what it means Paul
then explain to me
you fucking cunt
you're fucking rude
lucky game me
like fucking
and Rob's on the weakest link
which we'll be playing
on an upcoming episode
We've got it coming
The best moment
Of the pod so far
Tonight for me Paul

Barbecue refers to a style of sauce from the Americas.
And what's that, though?
Not Americas, from America.
Yeah, but what's that, though?
Especially when it's BBQ.
Yeah, which is what it is on here.
But what does that even mean?
It depends what region of the States you're from.
But generally, it's sugar or molasses, chilli and tomato, isn't it?
And vinegar in different combinations of those.
All right, well, cayenne.
You know.
Cayenne?
Smoked.
It's a smoked.
You're not another character from Superman.
It's a smoked flavour.
Can we agree with that?
He's shrugging.
Oh.
That's not...
Smells like a kind of British calf.
That's very weak. Very weak flavour.
It's a strange smell. It's not very good. It just hasn't got the amplitude you'd need.
There he says it. It's just poking out. It's like a dirty sock.
Well, let's try it. Those are not nice.
Oh, they are not nice.
And also, it tastes more like Chinese ribs.
Yeah.
It's sweet.
They've gone for the sweetness.
Very sweet.
That doesn't even taste like I thought it was going to taste.
No.
There's some heat there.
It's a bit porky as well, isn't it?
Not too bad.
Really?
If I was going to pick out those two, I'd go for the chives.
Yeah.
And what's our last one?
Original.
This is salt and vinegar.
Salt and...
Ready salted.
Oh, yeah.
Ready salted.
A nice plain end.
I think we should have started with that as a palate cleanser in neutral.
I mean, it smells like...
Smells like crisps.
Smells like crisps.
I'll have one of these.
Oh, you dropped your...
Your stackers.
Yeah.
Slightly more creamy flavour.
Perfectly good.
How much cheaper are those than Pringles?
A lot.
I think they're like 80p.
And how much would a tube of Pringles cost, do you think?
Close to £2 some places.
Really?
Yeah.
You always go and see, oh, half price is like £1.50.
And you think, really?
Yeah.
Fuck off, Pringles.
They sell those half pots as well now, don't they?
For 50p? Yeah. No, they're like one quid, the half pots. Fuck off, Pringles. They sell those half pots as well now, don't they? For 50p.
Yeah.
No, they're like one quid, the half pots.
Fuck off, Pringles.
I like those extreme ones.
I've not had them.
You've never had Pringles Extreme?
No.
They go for like a more chilli, cheesy sort of, yeah.
But also, the other thing to be said is that I would have those and pay less.
That's a real savoury you could make on staffers, don't you think?
Yeah, I think so.
I'd eat those ready salted just as happily as I'd eat some
Pringles. What the fuck?
Nice neutral snack. What the fuck? Yeah, fine.
But, two out of five,
two out of five, three out of five.
Right, he's pointed at the two flavoured
ones for the two out of five score and
the ready salted gets three. Gets more for you.
What about you? I'd
probably go three out of five for the
chive and I like that flavour.
Didn't like the barbecue, too.
And, you know, we've got a lot in common, too.
What do you mean?
Me and you.
We should hang out more.
Outside the show.
Outside of work.
I don't think we should.
We should hang out more.
I don't like to.
Do you like going to pop concerts?
Well, it's funny you should say that, Paul.
Yeah.
Because at the end of the show,
we've got an exclusive with Teen Yeti.
I can't wait.
This is great.
He's coming out here.
This has actually been, you know, on reflection, this Christmas too,
on reflection, this has actually turned out to be fucking awful.
Oh, Paul, he turned it around.
What a lovely bit of comic wordplay.
Not.
I'm going to have a fight with someone.
Oh, don't.
About time, in this time of night where you turn on someone in your office
and you give them a piece of your
mind after a year of pointing up with their bullshit.
Eli.
Okay, guys. Yeah, it's Freddie here.
Okay, now, I hate to
interrupt you, but Mr. Biscuit
has asked me to come over here and just say
you've got to quiet down now. We've got something very special happening. Can you fucking tell Jimmy Biscuit has asked me to come over here and just say you've got to quiet down now. We've got
something very special happening. Can you fucking tell
Jimmy Biscuit and that cunt
Yelly? Excuse me, my friend.
Excuse me, my friend. Can you fucking tell?
You tell him what? Now you're making me hard
in the downstairs again. Is that your
catchphrase now? Is that the one you've gone with with this character?
You're making me hard downstairs.
Is that generally what it is now?
I just want to get clarification
so I can give you a better lead.
Now, you listen to me, my friend.
You will not be asking the creator of me
what the catchphrase is.
Okay.
I am Freddy Goon.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, you've got to pipe down.
Yeah.
You've got to pipe down out here.
Right, well, there we go.
Everyone calm down now.
Grab a drink.
I'm going to pour myself a drink.
I'm going to have another, Jay. We're having it. Right, I can't wait. Everyone calm down now. Grab a drink. I'm going to pour myself a drink. I'm going to have another, Jay.
I'm having it.
Right, I can't wait.
The big finale now to the Christmas party.
Wait, I'm not going to drink yet.
I'm at the bar.
I'm at the bar at the party.
Thank you.

He's totally fly, boy.
I like his style.
All right, see you later.

Yeah, well, you'd be alone there.
Alone.

Let's bring this to a fucking close.
I'm putting Jimmy Biscuits and this German guy who I'm gonna buttfuck later.
Oh, my God.
Right, good, right. Nice, Eli. Good. Let's end'm gonna buttfuck later. Oh my god, Ray Blue Grace.
Nice, Eli.
Good, let's end with that because that's appropriate.
Let's end with just a bit more gay panic humour.
That's great.
It's fine.
It's a loving relationship.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is it?
Yeah, it sounds like it.
What, will you ruin the Christmas party again?
Have you?
I've ruined it.
I think we need to bring this to a close very quickly.
I was disappointed, I have to say, in Teen
Yetis. I thought we were going to have a nice
dance and I can't.
Let's just stop the doing this now. What are we going to do?
This is all. I've got to drink.
I've got to drink. I know you've
been drinking too much and that's that.
Ladies and gentlemen, you've been listening to the Christmas
do Christmas cheap show party.
Mate, Paul, you really need to fucking go home.
I'm Paul Gannon.
I'm Eli Silverman.
Thanks for listening.
Happy Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
This is the episode that, because it's a Christmas one, people listen to it once, but they don't
go back to it throughout the rest of the year, because it's weird.
It's period, isn't it?
You don't like them.
It's a period.
It's like, don't like them.
You don't like periods.
Okay, Miss Ojo humour.
Talk about gay panic.
You just said, it's a period, don't like them. Don't, it's time to, don't like period okay Miss Ojo humour talk about gay panic you just said
it's a period
don't like them
don't
it's time to
don't attack me
no
I don't want to end it like this
I don't want to end it like this
we're not going to have a fight
just leave the room
leave the house of pickles
go past Mount Gropp pants
I'm sorry mate
I'm sorry
stop
you had a tough few days.
Do you want to tell everyone
about when your house flooded
before you were going to leave it?
I think you should.
I fell out an attic.
You fell out an attic.
I did.
So Paul was about to leave
to return from his family home
where he'd been visiting his parents
and the water tank
