CheapShow - Ep 209: The 2nd Annual Office Christmas Party
Episode Date: December 18, 2020Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! It's been an odd, difficult year and to celebrate getting through 2020, it's time for Paul & Eli to have their 2nd (OK, not completely annual) Office Christmas Party! A...fter Eli ruined the first office party, Paul has taken it upon himself to arrange the venue himself. However, this super stylish, modern high tech home could be more trouble than its worth... Especially considering the home’s owner and the company Paul used to hire the venue! Apart from that, it's "eat, drink and be merry" as the Cheap Chaps dive into a Xmas Party on a budget. They tackle novelty snacks, cheap "retro" alcoholic classics and all sorts of other Christmas food. Also, gifts! What did Paul & Eli get each other for Christmas, sourced from the finest charity shops in London? You can find out just HOW disappointing they are. As the drinks flow and the booze takes it evil toll, just how loud, vulgar and explosive will this episode be? Find out in a packed episode! HO HO HO! (Episode contains more bad language than usual.

it could be christmas every day
oh i just get it all the foods out nice little bowl put it over there. Yeah, we've got all the drinks laid out, the booze, got the Christmas decorations up.
Oh, it's all exciting.
Oh, I tell you.
Oh, I love Christmas, me.
And this is going to be the best Christmas Officeworks do ever.
I've got a nice place set up, lovely atmosphere.
It's so Christmassy.
I'm just waiting for Eli to turn up now.
Oh, it's the ruddy door.
I better go get it.
Hi.
Hello, Eli.
Come on in out the cold and the wind and the rain.
You know what?
It's cold outside.
It's mouth noisy out there, that's for sure.
It's very mouth noisy.
It's very mouth noisy outside.
So come in.
What's all this?
Whose party is this?
It's our Christmas works do, mate.
This is what I'm saying.
I thought we were here to do a podcast.
We are, mate, but it's our works do.
We're going to do both.
You know about what my rule is since last year?
What's your rule?
Can't drink and do the podcast.
You can.
I get a bit open.
I've only got a few little drinks.
Do you want me open?
Do you want me wide open?
Merry Christmas, Mr. Gannon.
I'm getting Christmas wide open.
Is that what this is?
Have you got those Rohypnol wipes?
No, what do you mean wipes?
Well, to show if there's Rohypnol smeared in the glass in a jelly form.
No, there's no Rohypnol.
Jelly form Rohypnol.
There's nothing like that.
There is jelly form Rohypnol in my glasses.
Okay, so last time when we had our party, right, we did it in the House
of Pickles and it was massively... That was a good one.
No, it wasn't because... That was a good one.
Who's the host with the most Elias?
He'll bring you the wine.
He'll bring you the food.
You spent £250 on
a venue we used day in, day out.
So I never saw that £250
again. It was very suspicious.
It went for costs.
So also...
All a lot of costs, Paul.
Your presents were shit, I seem to remember.
And it was an overall underwhelming experience.
On the presents front.
This year, I have outdone myself.
I've got you not one, not two, Paul.
Yeah.
But three.
Three presents.
Great.
And you can guess the price. It counts as a price to shite as well. Oh presents. Great. And you can guess the price.
It counts as a price a shot as well.
Oh, fuck off.
Price-o, de shot-o.
I don't want to do anything.
Tits on a man-o-benton, price-o, de shot-o.
I don't want to do any segments.
It's a shot-o.
What, the price-o?
We're not...
We'll do a call and response.
I go, it's the price-o.
And you go, what, the shot-o?
Go on, then.
Oh, it's the price-o. And you go, what, the charter? Go on, then. Oh, it's the price-o.
No.
Oh, you party pooper.
Come on, this is the one point of the year,
the one episode where we get to let our hair down.
And I might do that quite literally.
Literally.
Literally.
I might literally.
Laboratory.
Laboratory.
Laboratory.
Laboratory.
But if you say laboratory, it sounds like you're saying
I have a Labrador
and a Tory
Labrador
Tory Labrador
I think someone's made that joke
maybe
a laboratory
I'm going to do it now
laboratory
yeah but there's no context
I don't care
no but what's the
the set up is
what happens
if you
take Michael Gove
into a
a pet shop yeah he buys a laboratory.
No, it's not very good at all.
So my outer context.
Look forward, dear listener, to more of this on the show today.
Oh, he wants to do it.
Let me just say, right, that I've rented this place out, right?
This is a nice posh house.
It looks quite nice, actually, yeah.
Yes, it's a very nice, posh location.
I thought we'd keep it classy.
So we've got some nice, classy food and drink,
you know, all on a budget.
We'll have a nice...
Because this house is like...
What's it, Airbnb?
Just for the party?
Do they do that?
Yeah, no, Airbnb can let you have a house.
It's massive, isn't it?
This isn't Airbnb.
This is one of those kind of knock-off Airbnbs.
Knock-off Airbnb?
What?
It could be dodgy.
I've heard some dodgy things about those, Paul.
Yeah, this one's all right.
It's called Air...
Should have just given me.
Air what?
Air Braff and B.
But it's Air spelled H-E-I-R.
Right.
Oh, Air.
I am the Air to the...
Yeah.
Not as in Herr Führer.
Air B.
Air B.
And Roth.
I think it says there.
Yeah.
Air B and Roth. Oh it says there Airbnb and Roth
oh
I'm gone
let me have a look at this
why can't you just go to Airbnb
Airbnb and Roth
it's a subsidiary of Brandoff Enterprise
it's Brandoff
I'm fucking
you've hired the
venue from Brand off
Well not directly
I didn't know it was
One of his subsidiary companies
Well he's got fingers
In every pie
He's the
That's why he's in prison
Yeah
Because he had too many fingers
In too many pies
Yeah but the tentacles
Are still there
And they've got
Their own neurons in
Did you know that
An octopus's brain
Is spread out
And a lot of their neurons
Are actually in the arms
So their arms can think
Independently Oh Christ Of the whole system Paul And that's how And a lot of their neurons are actually in the arms. So their arms can think independently.
Oh, Christ.
Of the whole system, Paul.
And that's how Brandoff's empire works from behind bars.
His tentacles do their own work.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, no, I'm getting a very vivid image.
Yes, and we don't want to be in the grip of one of his tentacles no more.
We're here now, aren't we?
And it's a nice place.
This whole house is a fucking big sucking tentacle pod.
It's a modern space. Is there house is a fucking big sucking tentacle. It's a modern
space. Is that all the latest
modcon century? It's even got
an inbuilt AI.
Listen, hang on.
Hello, Randolph.
Hello. How can I
be of help? Could you turn the lights
down just a few, a little bit?
Turning lights down? No, I want
a smell of baked bread, just a whiff,
as in it was coming over a courtyard in a Mediterranean garden.
As you command.
Oh, that's...
Oh, isn't that nice?
Oh, it's like focaccia.
I'm going to get used to this.
Is there anything else right now?
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Robot house.
Robot house.
Thank you for looking after us today
Anyway let me show you around
The house
It's really nice
Oh here we go
Grand tour
There's the kitchen
Call it the grand tour
Alright I'm taking on a grand tour
Do I get to go on the grand tour?
Yes you do
Oh this is good
That's what we used to call it
That's what you get to do
You get to go on the show
On Amazon Prime
Starring Jeremy Clarkson
You get to go on that grand tour
That's what we used to do
When people used to show people around the house.
Oh, yeah.
So they give you the grand tour.
Yeah.
Come on.
It's like, no, Nan.
I've been here five times this year.
Yeah.
God, you were at your Nan's a lot, weren't you?
I was, actually, as a kid.
Because they were near the shops
and so we'd all get dropped off at my Nan's.
Was she in a sort of modernist block?
She was in, yeah,
one of those estates built in the kind of early 80s.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So, you know, they're meant to be a little bit more kind of easy on the eye.
A bit more lonely, yeah.
But they're still a bit...
Anyway.
Now, Paul has reached that point in the intro to the podcast, as is traditional,
and he's lost the will to do the rest of the podcast.
So, Paul, what have you got to drink?
I'm already drinking because I can't be
dealing with this.
Well, I might just have
a little Hennessy then.
Who's he?
He's McKennessy
and he's passed it over to me.
Anyway, listen,
look, let me take on
a grand tour of the house.
Oh, right,
let me just pour this.
All right, pour that out.
Oh, there's some brand off.
We don't need to even get up.
Brand off has got
a whole liquor cabinet there.
I know,
but we can't touch that stuff.
That's not ours.
We can't.
There's a lot of expensive art. Look, everybody, I'm winking. I'm winking at Paul. Yeah, we can't touch it. we can't touch that stuff. That's not ours. We can't. There's a lot of expensive art.
Look, everybody,
I'm winking.
I'm winking at
Paul.
Yeah, we can't
touch it.
We can't touch
that stuff.
No, you're
absolutely right,
Paul.
I'd have to pay
extra.
Who cares?
I'd have to pay
extra.
He's in jail.
Who cares?
It's not his
house.
I refuse to pay
him.
It's just his
company.
It says Air
Brandoff.
It's probably his
kid.
Do you know if he
had any kids?
I don't.
He might have.
Brandoff Jr.
Eric Brandoff.
No, don't.
Stop. We're not. Ivankaolph. No, don't. Stop.
Ivanka Randolph.
We are not doing that.
We can't bleed anymore.
These characters
off into their own
spin-offs.
This week's not about
characters, Paul.
It better not be.
It's about me and you
having an office
Christmas party.
Yeah.
Let's go upstairs then
if you want to show me
the rest of the house.
Okay, so there's the kitchen
over there. It's fine. Mod con. There's an oven then if you want to show me the rest of the house. Alright, so, okay, so there's the kitchen over there.
It's fine.
Mod con.
There's an oven in there
that will do a chicken
in like half an hour.
It looks like it would do
a political or business
enemy as well.
What does that mean?
Well, you could fit
a person in there.
Why would you want
to put a person in there?
Brandoff,
because he fucking
Brandoff incinerates people.
Brandoff did not incinerate
anyone in his modern kitchen.
He fucking did.
It's not modern.
It is modern.
It's a fucking coffin shape.
No, that's one of those
fancy modern ones
that look like an old one.
You could fit two pigs
in there back to back.
You could get two pigs
who were six to nine-ing
each other.
Can you imagine the veg
my mum could put in that?
Oh!
Look at the...
Think of the marrow
she could slowly slide in.
You could get one of those
record-breaking marrows
on some kind of trolley,
a special...
A gurney.
Yeah, a gurney.
Marrow on a gurney.
And then one of your relatives,
doesn't matter which one,
doesn't matter about
their gender either.
All right.
Just a bunch of your relatives
in nightgowns.
Yeah.
Just roll it,
trolley it in.
Yeah, trolley it in.
Put the gas on.
Yeah.
And then just, what,
slowly ease it in.
Do they have to lube
the edges of the door?
You just oil it up a bit
with some salt and olive oil. All right. So then you just squeeze it in. Where are you? You don't have to squeeze it in do they have to lube the edges of the door you just oil it up a bit with some salt and olive oil
and then you just
squeeze it in
where are you
you don't have to
squeeze it in
you just pull it in
anyway
and I'm not even there
I'm upstairs
you just tell me
exactly when you're
going to do it
and then I go
right okay
good to know
are there any
bedrooms upstairs
where I can lurk
and wait for people
in your family
to put oversized
vegetables into ovens
let's move on because we've covered the into ovens? Let's move on.
Because we've covered the oven material now, so let's
move on from the oven material. Well, we have to have
some time. I thought this conversation we're having,
we'd be walking across the room, this big
room, and we're looking at the stairs.
Are you taking me upstairs now? I'm going to take you upstairs now.
Let's go up the stairs. Okay.
It's quite steep, aren't we? It's quite grand.
Yeah. Marble.
Creaky. Creaky marble.
Okay, so there's the bathroom.
There's the toilet.
Got anything to say about that?
Got a nice bidet?
No, wait.
That's the toilet and that's the sink.
It's hard to tell with these.
Or is that the bidet and that's the toilet and that's the sink?
There's about eight different bum washing or ball dunking.
Or shit. Shaking. Shit raking. Shit raking. the sink there's about eight different different bum washing or ball dunking or shit making
shit raking shit raking shit harvesting spraying there's a big shower spraying the whole room is
one big shower by the way it's a wet room it's a wet they call them yeah so i'm very wet yes
i like wet rooms no gag just i like wet rooms you prefer that if the shower's open plan like that.
Yes, I do.
I like to walk in the mist.
Dear?
Would you like me to turn the water on?
No, no, no.
We're all right.
Robot house.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you very much, robot house.
You will die.
What?
So we need to...
Okay, so we can turn left at the stairs.
Right, there we are.
So there's the master bedroom.
You see there?
You see there's the big round bed.
This is where the magic happens.
And there's all the mirrors on the ceiling.
This is where the magic happens.
And the mirrors on the walls and on the floors.
There's actually quite a lot of mirrors everywhere in this room.
Have you noticed that?
Yeah, it's very mirrored.
And there's a table made of glass.
I wonder what that's for.
What can you imagine you could do with a table? And there's a pillow made of glass. What's that for? What can you imagine you could do with a table?
And there's a pillow to rest your head.
There seems to be a sort of limousine motif in all the designs.
There is a strange motif.
It's funny.
There's sort of like headlights at the end of the bed like that.
Yeah.
It's funny as well.
There's like a little statuette of the, like, that's the Rolls Royce, the silver spirit.
Yeah, I see these kind of as the motif, isn't it?
The little leaping dog.
It's all either glass.
Leaping dog?
What's on the front
of a roller's voice?
What's the little statue?
I just said that.
You literally are not listening
to a single word I've said.
I've just pointed out
the statue there.
The silver spirit.
Right.
It's the bird with her wings
behind her head.
Right, okay.
Not a bird, sorry.
A lady.
Oh, it's a lady.
It's a little sprite.
A feminine sprite.
Oh, like a fairy., a feminine sprite. Oh, like a fairy.
Imagine a feminine sprite.
Imagine.
Yeah, easily,
like Tinkerbell.
No.
How is that funny?
No, imagine like it was.
Imagine it's
like Pepsi
started going to sort of
cleaning products
with the female body.
So you're thinking
it's more of a brand name
for some feminine fanny wipes.
Yes.
Right, great.
So I'm glad we got there
in the end.
If Sprite did start,
because you do get
like crossover flavour things.
Imagine they did
Sprite fanny wipes.
Fanny Dr Pepper.
Or you could have
some kind of mechanism
where you open a can
under your, yeah.
Like a douche.
Douche in a can.
Yeah, but it looks like a tin of cola. Yeah. So you can under your, yeah. Like a douche. Douche in a can. Yeah, but it's like,
it looks like a tin
of cola.
Yeah.
So you can make
your fanny smell
like a soft drink.
Why would anyone
want that?
Why would a lady
want her fanny to
smell like 7-Up?
I'd quite like my
knob to smell like
Dr. Pepper.
Wouldn't be a bad,
would be a result.
I once had my
knob sucked by a
man called Dr. Pepper.
I thought at the time, what's the worst that could happen?
Yeah, it's happening.
Seven years.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
He bit your knob off, did he?
Well.
That's the worst that could happen, if you're actually getting hit from a guy called Dr. Pepper.
To be fair, he had a stroke and he bit down.
Yeah.
I was just on the receiving end.
Yeah.
But you know what?
We all laughed it off at Christmas.
Right, so are we going to go on this grand tour more
God
Hang on
This could be the worst episode ever
What's this button
Something's rising out of the ground
It's a weird
Kind of like
It looks like a kind of gymnastics horse
But with spikes
And a wobbly dildo coming out the top
What's good there
Yeah it's obviously you know
It's a party house isn't it
It's a party house I guess But it must be for the more It's, that? Yeah, it's obviously, you know, it's a party house, isn't it?
It's a party house, I guess,
but it must be for the more. It's designed for fun.
Yeah.
All right, let's leave.
Let's leave.
Let's leave.
I don't think that worked,
that bit with the horse.
Oh, look, and there's another small room.
That's strange.
I don't know.
It just looks like
it looks like his mother lived here once
and he hasn't touched it
in about 20 years.
He never talks about his mother.
That's weird.
Look, you can see
everything's tidy. The bed's made. It looks like it hasn't been years. He never talks about his mother. That's weird. Look, you can see.
Everything's tidy.
The bed's made.
It looks like it hasn't been touched.
There's dust everywhere in here.
And look, on the bed, there's a corpse.
I didn't expect to see a... That must be his mum.
A corpse in a nightgown.
Yeah, that's his mum.
She's got a little sign around her head, the Duchess.
Why has she got no teeth?
It's the Duchess.
What happened to the teeth?
Well, it looks like her whole mouth's been replaced with some kind of...
A bit of latex.
I don't know.
What is going on?
Inverted flesh pipe in her mouth.
What's going on?
I don't understand this.
It's not a good room.
And it smells of lavender in here as well.
The Duchess's room is not a good room.
Yeah, lavender and wax.
I don't know. It's hard to explain. can we should we i'm gonna go let's just go down let's just go back downstairs
all right let's go
right let's uh let's just come down and see.
I'm trying just to forget what I just saw in that room.
You know what?
I mean...
I should have looked around before.
What was that thing?
That was a corpse.
It had a fucking hole put into its dead mouth, Paul.
This is what we've uncovered.
Look, I think the best course of action here
is to
completely ignore and refuse to answer
any questions on the content of that movie.
There's a whole floor up there.
Yeah, but that's got a padlock on. It's more like an attic space.
It's got a padlock on?
Well, it's got a keycard thing.
Well, I don't know.
All I know is that it's got a keycard-y thing, padlock-y
thing, so I can't... That's where he's killed
his kids and put them up there, hasn't he?
No.
He's got his kids living up there.
I don't know.
Well, I would have heard them...
With robot mates.
I would have heard them scampering about.
I've been here a few nights
and I would have heard them scampering about
and I've heard nothing.
All I've heard at night,
sometimes you hear a...
Oh, yeah?
But that could be the central heating
or something, I don't know.
That sounds like central heating.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
I don't think it's anything particularly supernatural.
What have we got then to pass the time here?
Well, I just thought, relax, we've got a few drinks, haven't we?
We've had a few bevvies.
This is maybe the office party.
So where's everyone else who works for Cheap Show?
I've got, well, it's just us.
We had this gag last time, mate.
It's just me and you.
And you were going, who's the editor?
And I was like, it was me.
Who puts it up online?
Me.
Who does the website?
Me.
You know, the problem is you've listened to our last Christmas party episode right before
doing this one.
Yeah.
So you're going to keep going.
So I now know what to stray away from and how to improve this episode.
All right.
What should I do?
More quality.
You tell me what to do.
More quality.
Be more better funny, man.
It's very simple.
I know.
I'm trying.
All right.
Stop banging on the table. What did i just say before we started
no bangy bangy can i have something to eat now please yes we've got i've got some snacks and
drinks now obviously it's christmas and we're on a budget and so some of the things i've got today
are from iceland and i thought would you like a drink mr silver. Silverman, to start off with? Oh, right. It's Christmas, so let's have a bottle of lovely Frizzini,
which sounds like a classy product.
Frizzini Bucks Fizz.
You're spoiling me.
Making your mind up.
You can literally almost see that on a pavement with chunks of carrot in it.
You can.
It's smashed in the corner of a car park
with vom yeah yeah that's what it is well let's try some then it's this is what you know what's
strange bucks viz is paul let me i know but let me before you tell me because i do want to it is
related to what i'm about to say right yeah so it says it's vague on the back which is what i don't
understand it says of delicious and refreshingly fizzy alcoholic drink
made with zesty orange juice and i'm thinking why not tell me what the alcoholic drink is
because it isn't one because what is a book's fizz champagne and orange juice but wouldn't this say
champagne and orange champagne there's not a list of ingredients on this no it's that cheap that
they haven't even bothered to mix it with wine. They've just gone, they've got fizzy
water, orange juice
and then they've, in a chemical
way, made it alcoholic. Do you see what I mean?
I see what I mean. There's some process. Yeah.
But it didn't start with anything like wine
because it's too cheap. How much was this?
This is £2 for a
75, what's CL?
Centilitre. Centilitre. 75
centilitre bottle. 75 is your standard.
It's one below a litre.
And it's 4% vodka whole.
It's basically your standard bottle size.
Yeah, yeah, your standard.
Two-person bottle size.
Now, I remember growing up as a kid at Christmas,
this always came out.
I never saw Bucks Fizz apart from at Christmas.
But it was probably the same.
The band Bucks Fizz.
Yeah, making your mind.
They always came round to my house at Christmas.
Did they?
Yeah, it was very strange.
I remember when one of them died or something
and they had to pick another one.
No, no, what happened was they were in a coach crash
and one of the guys had severe brain injuries
which affected his mood and personality
which made him more angry and violent.
Talk about making your mind up.
Now he's in the land of make-believe.
And that's all the songs I know of Bucks Fizz.
Did he go walk around with trousers that he could pull off?
Well, that was the thing.
We booked them for the show, and we had to ask them to leave,
because at some point he was chasing my mum around,
trying to rip her knickers off.
And I was like, come on, mate, calm down.
You're not in Bucks Fizz now.
Cheryl Baker, meanwhile, fucking necking the Lamborghini.
Just chugging it.
Cheryl Baker on the Lamborghini.
Yeah, going, I'm so bald. I don't know what she was up to. Is she bald? No, but remember she wasging it Cheryl Baker on the Lambrini yeah going I'm so bald
I don't know
what she was up to
is she bald
no but remember
she was on those
adverts on the tube
where it was like
I lost my hair
and now I use this stuff
and now I don't
now I have hair
anyway
so this is it
so it is pressurised
it comes with a
you know a twist cap
would you like to do
the honours
now have you ever
had an actual
proper one
real life I have.
When I lived in LA.
You get a glass of champagne
and they just top it up
with a bit of orange juice.
When I was in LA,
I had some quality books.
Well, the thing is,
it's not a classy drink.
You know what I mean?
If you were drinking good champagne,
you wouldn't want to ruin it
with some orange juice.
That's the point.
It's the screwdriver of champagne. It's like fucking stick orange juice in it. Gin and orange juice. Vodka and orange to ruin it with some orange juice. With orange juice, no. That's the point. It's the screwdriver of champagne.
It's like fucking stick
orange juice in it.
Gin and orange juice,
vodka and orange juice,
champagne and orange juice,
beer and orange juice.
Yes.
Well, it's similar to
what they call sangria, right?
That's like orange juice
and red wine, I think.
Yeah.
And so it's just like,
it's a way of, you know,
watering down here.
Well, look at the cork.
It's a fake plastic knob
on the top.
It's real bad.
Is it going to pop, though? Well, I don't know. You twist the bottle, not the neck. No, it's a cork It's a fake plastic knob On the top It's real bad Is it going to pop though?
Well I don't know
You twist the bottle
Not the neck
No it's a twist
It's a fake one
It's actually a twist
Oh is it?
Just be careful
It's going to foam up
Oh it's got a fucking
Screw cap on
What a load of shit
This is so cheap show man
Mate
It's a fake knoblet
It's the most
This is going to be
Poor That You know what I reckon it'll have A sort of A fake sweetener taste It's so cheap show, man. Mate, it's a fake knoblet. This is going to be poor.
You know what?
I reckon it'll have a sort of fake sweetener taste.
Like a kind of diet lemon drink kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah.
That is depressing.
The pointlessness of adding...
It's like a piece of plastic as well.
It's a piece of pure waste just to make it look a bit like you've got a cork on the bottle.
It's the equivalent of putting a paper hat on
and going,
I'm the fucking queen now.
Yeah.
It's a waste of resources
this planet doesn't have.
It's a bit disgusting,
isn't it?
They could have just
had the screw top
and go,
look, it's cheap.
It's a screw top.
Where did you get this?
What's this?
This is Iceland.
But again,
you don't really get
classy books first.
It's always this kind of shit.
Oh.
What?
Oh, it smells
like dog piss
honestly
there's an ammonia
oh it does
smell a bit like
dog piss
do you know
what I mean
it smells like
dog piss
and like Haribo
it's the strangest
thing
just a very
small amount
for me please
oh mate
what's the ABV
there's absolutely
no fizz to it as well.
You know, like with champagne, you get that.
No, it's already gone.
Oh.
Well, no, there is some fizz.
I heard there's some fizz.
Oh, look, mate.
Right, here we go.
Taste test.
Bucks fizz.
£2, I think, £2.50 in Iceland.
Here we go.
What's the ABV?
What do you mean, the ABV?
How alcoholic is it?
I told you about 15 minutes ago.
Could you tell me again?
Please pull them in.
Nah.
Come on.
It was 4%.
Four?
Yeah.
Oh, that's way low as well.
Yeah, it's not that much.
Oh, this is piss water.
Oh, God.
Yeah, that's really unpleasant.
That tastes of nothing.
Anemic.
I've even had shit, books books fizz that taste better than that
yeah
anemic
there is nothing
to that
it tastes like
Fanta
yeah but not as nice
well I don't like
Fanta all that much
but you're right
you can taste
the ass
partini
whatever it's called
partini
you can taste
the sweetener
he's going for it
though
he's going for it
I put too much
in then I realised
I need the cup
again for the next
just go for it mate you know you got some catching up to do that's horrible that's the kind of piss
you can get that your kids drink and they can pretend they're drinking alcohol i know but they
would get mommy gave me box fizz if you chugged that whole thing it'd be like drinking a um a
horrible beer a pint of weak beer sort of in terms of how drunk you'd get it's not worth it oh
well all right that's not a it. Well, all right.
That's not a success,
but what I have got in my back pocket...
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
It's just horrible.
It tastes like shit Fanta.
Yeah, it's shit.
That's a shame.
That's if you're having hordes of relatives over
and you just want everyone to have a glass.
Hey, everyone.
Do you want a bottle of vague alcohol orange drink?
Yes.
Yes, please.
It's Buck's Fizz.
It's Buck's Flat.
And just like Buck's Fizz,
it was popular in the 80s
and now it's just pathetic.
It's nasty.
That is not worth existing.
Everything about that whole product is abhorrent
and Iceland should be ashamed of themselves.
Right, I've got a plan B now, mate.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Something with a bit more bollocks.
Oh, God.
Something with a bit more hoo-ocks Oh God Something with a bit more
Hoo-ha-da-boo-bah
When you think of classy
Um
80s drinks
That set a precedent
For a style and sophistication
In 80s nightclubs
Asti
Asti spumante
God
You've got
It's fizzy enough now isn't it
I saw that coming
Oh
I saw that coming
Baby Sham
Baby Sham
Is this On brand Baby Sham Or knock off Baby Sham This that coming Baby Sham Baby Sham is this
on brand Baby Sham
or knock off Baby Sham
this is actually
Baby Sham
it's got the little
bouncing deer on
it does
and there were TV ads
for that
do you remember that
yes
it was always
when they had the cinema
always they'd advertise it
it was
I seem to remember
at the cinema
but the word TV advert
I was aware of Baby Sham
from a very early age
because the adverts
were always like
some kind of trendy nightclub type set and then someone goes blah blah blah I'll have of Baby Sham from a very early age. Because the adverts are always like some kind of trendy nightclub type set.
And then someone goes, blah, blah, blah.
I'll have a Baby Sham.
And everyone goes, a Baby Sham?
Yeah, and it's like, oh.
It was like punk.
They were trying to say it was like punk to order a Baby Sham.
Do you know what it actually was?
And it would sort of upset the olds if you had a Baby Sham.
Upset the gentry.
But the thing is, no.
What Baby Sham is, is it is the Skoda of drinks.
Where it's like...
What is the actual cocktail?
Like, you know, like Bucks Fizz, it's a basic cocktail that underlies it.
Champagne and orange juice, yeah.
So what is the Baby Sham?
What is it?
I think it's brandy and champagne.
This just says, original, refreshing, sparkling peri.
Oh, it's peri, which is...
Apple wine.
Yes.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Let me, I can't even fucking...
It's apple wine. It's apple champagne. Peri with sugar and sweet Yes. Yeah, that's what it is. Let me, I can't even fucking remember. It's apple wine.
It's apple champagne.
It's a peri with sugar and sweetener.
Oh, dear.
It's an apple wine.
It's a sweet apple wine.
You see this on the neck.
It says,
the happiest drink in the world since 1953.
It's cider.
It's cider.
In it, yeah.
It's cider in a can, so it is.
It's cider.
It's cider, yeah.
You know what makes me happy with cider?
It gets me randy and fizzy like old scum.
Do you know what I was last night?
Where were you last night?
I was in cider.
Were you in cider?
Were you deep in cider?
I had to brush off a spider, and then I got right up in cider.
Oh, right.
That's really impressive.
And then I drank a cider.
Yeah, you've had a cider in cider on a cider bike.
So, the thing is, it's kind of-
And I watched an episode of Minder. so the thing is and I watched an episode
of Minder
but the thing is
and it was about a spider
you can now stop that
no it was about a spider
yeah
and then spider
was crawling around
all around a boat
the boat was called
the Mary Celeste
and then the spider
climbed in cider
there we go
he's all done now
ladies and gentlemen
you can
oh fuck off
carry on listening.
Oh, come on.
Baby sham this.
Baby sham that.
Fucking...
Hey, robot house.
Stop touching the microphone, you fucking rancid twats.
Robot house.
Yes, Eli.
Got any secret rooms or anything?
Let me search the data banks.
There are secret rooms.
Oh, that's good.
Thank you.
Eli, you will die tonight.
What?
I don't know what she's saying.
Is this going to be another murder plot?
No, actually, you know what?
Hang on.
Hang on.
Eli.
Yes, Robot House.
You scared me a bit.
I love you.
Okay, I love you too, Robot House.
There we go.
It's all happy.
It's all happy and nice
Merry Christmas
so what we do
Baby Sham
so Baby Sham
yeah Sparkling Perry
in the 80s
it was kind of like
a joke drink
wasn't it almost
it kind of was
desperately searching
for an identity
to kind of make it classy
but then it got
a reputation like
something like
you know
Mad Dog 2020
or Thunderbird
or Two Dogs
just a drink
a cheap drink
that people use
expressly young people maybe to get drunk drink a cheap drink that people use expressly
young people maybe
to get drunk
with a cheap shit
get drunk
but not trampy
this is fine
it's the young person
getting drunk
sort of illicitly
rather than the old
tramp
but it's not like
you know like
what's that diamond white
or it's not like that
that's more street person
sort of
we all drank that
in the woods
everyone kind of has that
mine was
Tenet Super,
which is the worst booze of all time.
We did that on Cheap Show.
It was a fucking conter.
Yeah, it was like a proper vom maker.
It's so super wheaty and sweet.
That is Tom Clancy's The Vomit Maker.
Come on, Eli.
Bring it in.
All right, mate.
It's not that good.
I know.
Oh, well, I'm just trying to liven up the party, Paul.
What else are you going to say about this baby sham?
That's it.
The next thing, I think all we need to do now is taste it,
because I've never had baby sham.
Have you ever had it?
Indeterminate.
I know.
I don't think I've ever had it.
I can't remember it, but I'm sure I may have tasted it.
But I'm excited to taste it, in many respects,
because it feels like it's a rite of passage.
You get it in small bottles.
Now, this, I think, is going to have a stronger ABV.
It should.
It's 5.5, I think.
Is that all?
Yeah.
But this is what I mean.
These are kind of like appetites.
Yeah, 5.5s.
The equivalent of like a, what is it, a wine spritzer.
It's a spritzer.
Yeah.
That's exactly what it is.
So Eli now is unfolding it.
I think they will have a cap
it looks like it has a proper thing on it
god at least have a fucking
proper cap
because that mate
you can put that on the tip of your penis
and it would look like
it would look like
your chef penis
it's like a little chef's hat
for a bottle
it's fucking
yeah look at that
that's the real deal
there we go
a proper cork
this might be quite nice
who knows
bit of peri
at least
at least I think it will taste like
an alcoholic drink.
I need a waste glass for this.
Just down it.
Drink it. It's only a little bit. I only put
a little bit in. Job done. Horrible fizzy
piss. That actually tastes of dog piss.
Yeah. Do you know what I mean? That dog
piss here. It's very dog pissy.
I don't know why I know what dog piss tastes like.
That was going to be my next question.
Here, I'm unscrewing it.
I'm pointing it away at some of the very strange,
disturbing artwork in this place.
Right, so he's twisting the bottle,
aiming the cork away.
Now remember, twist the bottle, not the cork.
That's the trick.
Mate, I used to work in catering.
Yeah, but you have your stupid, stupid, stupid hammy hands.
I like fucking these hams one day.
These hammy hams might
crawl up your thigh one night.
Yeah, so that means
I'll be wanked off
by a bunch of sausages.
Who gives a fuck?
And then killed
by a bunch of sausages.
I remember a wall of dicks.
You said it.
You'll come at me
with a wall of dicks.
You mentioned it last Christmas.
Oh, you keep listening
to that fucking episode
as if it's...
I'm lonely
Come on just fire it off
Here we go
Mate
Mate you broke the lamp
So what
Mate you broke the lamp
Come on mate
Damage to property
275,000 pounds
What
That's not worth that much.
That's a piece of shit.
I saw those in Ikea.
£275,000.
Hey, Robot House, can you turn yourself off, mate?
Turn off.
Do you want some of this baby shower, mate?
Yeah, let's just have that, mate.
I'm going to have to...
Where am I going to find £275,000?
We can just...
Listen, we can...
I've got connections.
You don't.
If you had connections,
you wouldn't be asking me
for a tenner
every fucking couple
of weeks or so.
Oh!
Give me some baby shampoo.
Fucking hell, Paul.
You're getting a bit salty,
aren't we now?
I've been drinking.
The drinking's kicking in.
I'm losing all my inhibitations.
There you go.
Inhibitations?
Inhibitions.
Inhibitions?
Right. What's the. Inhibitions. Inhibitions. Right.
What's that?
Much nicer.
It smells like...
It's very tart.
It smells like...
It's very sweet.
Very sweetie kind of...
It smells like peri.
It smells like peri.
Here we go.
Oh.
Oh.
Hmm.
Oh.
That's a...
Oh.
I don't mind that.
I don't mind it, but it goes real flat real quick.
It goes flat quick, yeah.
And it kind of leaves a kind of film.
Yeah, it's not great.
But the taste is much better than the other one.
It has an actual taste.
It tastes a bit like kind of...
Appley.
Appley.
Appletizer, almost.
It's just what it tastes like.
It's Appletizer.
But you sort of have a bit of booze there.
It's a bit of booze.
I've got to pull back in and pick it out of that.
Can we make a cocktail?
Hang on.
No, you're not.
I'm going to make a cocktail.
A bit of baby sham and a bit of Bux Fizz.
A Buxy sham.
Oh, no.
A baby fizz.
No, not a baby fizz.
A fizzy baby.
Here it comes.
That's enough.
I've got to balance it out.
I can't get that back in.
That's what she said.
She fucking says it.
Mate, all the bubbles went down in instant time.
Yeah, there's no...
You need a glass.
Oh, it looks spoffy now, look.
A proper glass is designed to make the bubbles stick to it.
That's the dirt, though, isn't it, on a champagne glass?
The dirt that it clings to makes the bubbles,
the imperfections on the inside of the glass.
Everyone, I just want to describe the way Paul looked at me
when he said, that's the dirt.
He was really, like he meant it.
Yeah, it is, though.
Because it's the imperfections on the inside of the glass.
He's also got a lovely jumper, which gives him more of an intellectual air.
I'm feeling very smart.
He goes with the surroundings in this house as well.
Listen to this.
Super massive fatafalia.
It's got a turtleneck.
It's a black turtle.
I've got a fucking turtle head.
I've got that coming out.
I've shat myself.
Mate.
Ladies and gentlemen.
How do you like that?
Before we started recording, he had to drop his guts and...
Oh no.
Don't stop peeling back the fetid grandma's curtain.
I had to turn the volume off on the TV just so I didn't hear what sounded like someone pouring stones down a toilet.
Not true.
Simply not true.
What else have you got to fucking eat?
I'm going to taste my cocktail.
My baby sham, Bucks Fizz Mix.
Here we go.
I'm going to call it a Fizz Sham.
Eee!
How's your Fizz Sham?
Oh, God.
That is... Shut up. Oh, God. That is...
Shut up.
It's just horrible.
You're some piss or something.
I know.
It's like a pissy baby shower.
Right, I'm going to have to drink that, though.
I'm going to drink it down in one, ladies and gentlemen.
You're doing what you did last time.
You're drinking everything too quickly.
Question.
How are you going to look about this?
Oh!
Nicely done.
Very Christmas.
It just came right to my head when you said question.
Listen.
Stop.
Have a time.
All right, what, Paul, what? I'm feeling a bit merry now. Stop Have a time Alright what Paul
I'm feeling a bit merry now
If an alcohol
Is five
And if an alcohol
Is four
When you have both
Is it an alcohol nine
No
Is it
What is it then
How alcoholic is it
If you put a five
And a four together
Is it just five
Can it get no stronger
No it would be the average
Between 5.5 and four
So what
It would be less
It would be 3.5.
It'd be less alcoholic
if I put an alcoholic...
Shouldn't it be more
alcoholic than 3?
No, because...
Or 4?
No, because...
If I had a 4 alcohol...
You're mixing the whole thing, Paul.
And then I added a 5 alcohol in,
then it has to have
an element of 5 in it.
Paul, let's just go...
Let's simplify the whole question, yeah?
Yeah.
Let's represent both drinks
as being 10.
Right.
They're 10 big, yeah? Yeah. And let's say alcohol is 1 10 ten. Right. They're ten big.
Yeah.
And let's say alcohol is one tenth.
So alcohol is one big of those, yeah?
Yeah.
One big of those, yeah?
One big.
So you've got ten.
Ten big.
Two ten bigs, yeah?
Yeah.
And one of each is...
Ten big.
One of each is the alcohol, yeah?
Yeah.
Now add them together.
Ten big.
Add them both together.
Twenty big. Yes, but how many of those new twenty big, yeah? Yeah. Now add them together. Ten big. Add them both together. Twenty big.
Yes, but how many of those new twenty big are alcohol?
One big.
Two big.
So it's the same proportion is what I'm saying.
Two to twenty is the same proportion.
So it's nine big.
No.
Five and four is nine big.
No, it's in between them.
It's nine big.
I've just figured out maths.
Five big.
I hate you.
Five big.
I thought that was quite a good explanation.
You know anyway. You follow me. Five. God, I feel maths. Five big. I hate you. I thought that was quite a good explanation. You know anyway.
You follow me.
God, I feel sick.
Five big.
Yeah, both the baby sham and the fucking books fizz,
which I'm going to rename books piss because I'm witty,
is...
Oh, let's have a chocolate elf or something.
You're right.
It's time for food.
You need to soak up. You're right. It's time for food. So...
You need to soak up.
You need to soak up some of that.
Let's start with the crisps
because you've been eyeing the crisps
and you've got your eye on the crisps
and people told us about the crisps,
so let's talk about the crisps.
Okay, these are crisps people have told us about, are they?
Let me introduce it.
Here we go.
Apparently this year,
that fucking Lad Baby's got another fucking song out
about fucking sausage rolls,
which is for charity,
so you can't fucking...
What Lad Baby? Remember last year, like, number one Christmas was Lad Baby's sausage roll song. What about fucking sausage rolls, which is for charity, so you can't fucking... What Ladbaby?
Remember last year, like, number one Christmas was Ladbaby's sausage roll song?
What did it... How'd it go?
Sausage rolls, sausage rolls... Who's Ladbaby?
I don't know any of the facts.
Ladbaby's this guy who put a video up that said,
let's get this to number one.
It's about sausage rolls and let's raise money,
which means it's shit, but you can't complain about it
because it raised money for charity.
You love a charity single.
You're a big supporter
of the Red Nose Day single
aren't you?
Was.
Back in the day
when they put an effort in
these days you just get
fucking girls allowed
to cover Jump.
It's like fuck off.
So anyway
that was last year
with Lad Baby
and the Sausage Roll song
and apparently they're doing it
again this year
but Walker's Chris
have teamed up
with Lad Baby
charity Christmas
Sausage roll campaign.
Right.
So it just says support of Ladbaby.
So you're going to poo-poo on this campaign, are you?
No, I'm happy for them to raise money, but like...
What are they?
What flavour are these?
I tell you what,
the power of sausage roll in partnership with Ladbaby,
for the past two years...
Who's Ladbaby?
I'm going to tell you.
For the past two years,
the Ladbaby family have been on a roll. Who are the Ladbaby family? the past two years... Who's Ladbaby? I'm going to tell you. For the past two years, the Ladbaby family
have been on a roll.
Who are the Ladbaby family?
There's a family.
Unleashing the power
of sausage rolls
to do good at Christmas
with their hilarious
sausage roll charity songs.
They only exist
to make songs
about sausage rolls.
I don't understand.
I don't.
What is Ladbaby's
original job?
I don't get it.
I missed the joke
when it first came out.
But what kind of entity even is Lad Baby?
It's a man who was on YouTube and put a stupid song up and then it got...
Well, I can do a song.
Oh, my cork's got a hole in it.
What's in there?
It's spunk, it's spunk, it's spunk.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
My cork's got a hole in it.
I don't care.
And I've spunked in the hole.
Merry Christmas.
They've achieved the Christmas number one spot
two years in a row,
donating all proceedings to the Trussell Trust,
whose fantastic work in the UK
supports a nationwide network of food banks
and fights against poverty.
So, you know, good things.
Yeah, good things,
but we'll be the judge of your fucking crisps flavours.
Long story short,
walkers for Christmas to help raise money
have done a sausage roll flavoured crisp,
which is interesting.
I've never had
a sausage roll flavoured crisp.
Do you know what I would say
it's probably going to be close to?
What?
Chicken flavoured crisp
with a bit more oregano-y.
A bit more sort of
black pepper oregano-y.
Interesting.
What would you say?
Well, the thing is,
in my head I'm getting a taste.
No sausage crisps.
No.
I mean, cue everyone going,
actually there's sausage crisps.
No, I was cheap.
When I said there was
no cheese crisps, that was a bit stupid.
Yeah.
But I think I can say, do you know of a...
In your defence, I think the XL crisp, whatever it was called, just wowed you and it blindsided you.
It fucking did.
It blocked your faculties.
What a crisp.
It's a solid crisp.
I can remember the taste of those XL crisps.
Solid crisp.
Solid crisp.
It's a solid crisp.
So, Paul.
Yes. I totally forgot what crisp. So, Paul. Yes.
I totally forgot what I was saying.
Good. So, the sausage roll flavoured crisp. Oh yes, there's no sausage crisps.
Can you just back me up this now?
I mean, I don't know. Think of a sausage flavoured crisp.
There might have been like a
Colombian sausage whatever.
A chorizo flavoured crisp.
However, in my
mind, I'm thinking of like the Greg's Pasty,
you know, the Greg's Sausage Rolls.
That's the flavour I'm thinking of.
That's what I'm thinking of, yeah.
Which is, you know, a bit sagey,
a little bit spicy.
You know what I mean?
So you think of the sage before
and then there's a sort of general umami.
Yeah.
Which is like chicken or could be,
do you see what I mean?
In a crisp flavour.
So Eli, it is up to you now
to do the Huff Report for Christmas,
our Christmas Huff Report.
And on the basis of that,
so Eli Silverman is a professional at... Just getting the Huff Report for Christmas. Our Christmas Huff Report. And on the basis of that, so Eli Silverman is a professional at...
Just getting the huff ready.
Getting the best out of the bag.
If you want to tip him about how to get the huff...
It shakes the molecules, doesn't it?
It's all aerated.
What you're looking for, Paul,
what you're looking for here is a little miasmic mist of huff powder.
A little ecosystem in there.
Yeah.
A little microclimate. Yeah. A little microclimate.
Yeah.
You're jostling it.
You're jostling it.
And then you get the little corner.
I'm just going to go for a full nose huff here.
He's going to pull the bag wide.
I'm going to pull the...
He doesn't often pull it wide.
I think I'm feeling a bit like my nose isn't...
You want to get a full huff.
All right, here we go.
He's going in.
What? That is in. What?
That is accurate.
Really?
Yeah, I'm getting a sage.
Definitely a very strong front sage here.
I have a second bag.
I'm going to go for it.
Go for it.
Watch, I'm shaking the bag.
It smells of sausage roll to me.
Here we go.
It's quite a good facsimile on the nasal.
Oh.
Do you know what I mean?
God, you're right.
Yeah.
But it's got like a kind of almost like pork. Ketchup-y. Pork. Do you know what I mean? God, you're right. Yeah. But it's got, it's got like a kind of
almost like
ketchup-y.
Pork, well, yeah.
That's interesting.
It does smell like
sausage rolls.
That's fascinating.
Yeah.
And now for the taste.
Let's get straight in there.
If you gave that to me
and you didn't tell me
what it was,
I'd say it was
chicken flavoured.
Yeah, you are right.
This tastes like chicken.
So, you have to say Eli
was right. It's like a more
sagey chicken crisp. You're right. It is very...
It's a nice crisp, but
you're right. If someone said, have this, and they said, what flavour?
I'd say, chicken. Totally.
Mmm. You like that?
You like it? But, there are
pastry aftertones. There are.
I mean, it's sophisticated. And like I said, the smell,
but... It's like buttery almost.
The sort of basic umami
is provided by
like a very chicken stocky
to my taste buds
sort of presence.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not bad.
You like them.
I can see you like them.
I really like them.
But, yeah,
it's indeterminate taste.
I don't know.
They're quite tasty.
They're very tasty.
I'd happily polish off
a bag of them.
Are they going to be
a long-lived flavour?
No, it's a charity thing.
It's a charity thing.
Did you see on Twitter as well,
someone said,
Quavers, they're bringing back
short vinegar and prawn cocktail flavour.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
we will be covering it.
We will be.
As your crisp-based fact people.
The league.
We represent the people
when it comes to crisps. Not the
god-tier fucking edgelords
who go, oh look, we're going to jostle
the fucking marketplace with putting
cheesy puffs at the top and
fucking sensations at the bottom.
I'm a punk in my crisp taste.
No, you just want an honest,
scientifically based, deeply
researched, backed up by
a pagan organisation
that lives underground
Chris
podcast
and that's us
we are a pagan based podcast
hail Sultana
what are we doing?
I don't know Paul
we're tasting stuff
Chris
come on
long story short
we'll cover the quavers
when they come out
because you can trust us
we are the people's podcast
this has been so good.
Now, the next thing I want to try
is something really unusual.
And I caught this in a shop,
and I'll be honest,
I tried one of these already
because I was just,
I had to try them.
But,
it's another Christmas-based snack.
And I didn't even know,
I didn't even see adverts for this.
McVitie's Digestive.
We all like a digestive biscuit.
Don't we? We all like a digestive biscuit. Don't we?
We all like a digestive.
Not my favourite,
as I've probably detailed
in these annals before, Paul.
But we all appreciate
it's a good dunker.
My favourite biscuit,
in case you're wondering,
is a plain chocolate-rich tea.
Good choice.
A good choice.
A nice, dependable,
solid dunker.
I don't even dunk it.
Well, you know,
I'm just saying.
I just eat it.
I don't even look at tea
or think about tea. I have to dunk it. It, you know, I'm just saying. I just eat it. I don't even look at tea or think about tea.
I go,
it's just biscuits.
It's just me alone
with biscuits in a room.
So, anyway.
And I just contemplate
the biscuit
and I try and
remove all thoughts
of everything else
from my mind, Paul.
Everything else.
Nothing but the biscuit.
Well, not even the thought
of the biscuit.
That would be too much.
So, you exist
in some kind of weird
blank Tubularassa state.
Yes, where...
Tubularassa.
Hello!
Tubularassa.
Like a 90s rasta.
A tubularasta.
Tubularassa.
Come on.
Right.
So, anyway,
McVitie's Digestives,
right, fair enough,
chocolate,
but you know what the flavour is?
After 8,
because I read it on the packet.
Ah, it's not though,
because you didn't read it
on the packet,
you fucking dipshit.
It is Christmas pudding flavour. Oh, I thought it was after 8. No, not, though, because you didn't read it on the packet, you fucking dipshit. It is Christmas pudding flavour.
Oh, I thought it was After Eights.
No, this is a...
It's like, you can see the colouring is quite like an After Eights packet, isn't it?
Yeah, that's true.
It's a green package, and I like the logo.
They've got a chocolate digestive biscuit, but a little kind of, you know, icing sugar
holly on the top image of the Christmas pudding.
I would have preferred it.
So?
If it was After Eights flavour.
Sniff that.
Imagine a digestive with an after eight sort of
like that'd be nice
stapled on the top
that'd be fucking
lovely that's what I'm
saying that's what I
thought we were gonna
taste for it's up to
you now boffins make it
happen right but
sniff that yeah
smells like fruit cake
I hate I hate do you
one thing I hate about
Christmas is fucking
fruit in is Christmas
cake and pudding there
you go have one of
these this is a
chocolate digestive
Christmas pudding flavour biscuit.
I'm having a go.
Oh.
Oh, I do not like that.
I quite like that.
And I'm not a big fan of fruit cake.
It's got kind of a mulled aftertaste.
Do you know what I mean?
Like a sort of Christmas spice.
A bit of a pumpkin spice or Christmas spice aftertaste.
It's got that spice to it.
What is it?
A nutmeg or something?
That's what it is, yeah.
I dislike that intensely.
You don't like that biscuit at all?
No.
It's that flavour
because it's quite accurate.
Don't like the flavour
of Christmas pudding.
I think it might be that
I'm drunk
that I'm enjoying all this food.
Could be.
But it's also
almost a bit boozy.
Like a rummy.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm rummy.
Next.
Crunch time.
They've been eyeing me up.
Let's get on the crunch time.
Now, look.
I don't know what it is,
but all the rage these days
are making things smell like
or taste like pigs in a blanket.
It's a Christmas thing.
It's like Brussels sprouts.
They milked Brussels sprouts,
didn't they?
I think we did that last year.
And now there's Brussels sprout ketchup.
Oh, fucking...
We want to try that.
I'll get hold of that.
As the sauce person, resident sauce expert...
You're going to have to cover that.
I need to get the coverage needed to actually obtain...
The world's waiting on your words.
You know that, don't you?
The whole world waits on your words.
Obtain some Brussels sprout flavoured ketchup, Paul.
There are people out there who hang on your every stupid fucking word.
Paul, don't make me say Prick-a-Prick-a-Pronto. All right, say it. Say it as many times as you word paul don't make me say pricker pricker pronto
all right say it say as many times you like i don't want to now there you go that's how you
fucking fix that problem so anyway pigs in a blanket say it when you're least expecting it
pigs in a blanket pigs in a blanket everyone's making pigs in a blanket
come on good league thank you um, so someone said there were noodle-flavoured pigs in a blanket
and there were crisps or something.
Good league, I just said.
I know, I moved on.
It's like a segue and a link.
A league way.
Yeah, league way.
A segue.
Give me the huff on these.
Do you want to do the huff on these?
Because these are peanuts.
They fall within your huff.
Oh, they're peanuts.
Yeah, these are peanuts called Crunch Time.
Pigs in a blanket.
It says,
Smoky bacon and sausage flavoured crunchy coated nuts.
These are like Nobby's nuts.
Remember Nobby's nuts?
Yes, I guess they are.
Do you like those?
I've got a soft spot for those.
I have a soft spot for Nobby's nuts.
I do.
I like the crunchy nuts.
Coated peanuts, I'm a sucker for.
Do you mean Nobby,
the guy who lives in the car park
round the corner from where we do the recording?
No, I call him Johnny Wank Me Off,
and he smuffs up my knob-chop.
Okay, well, you've suddenly lost all focus.
You've just given up now.
All focus?
You've just given up.
It's a party.
It's a Christmas party.
Let me smell those peanuts.
Come on.
Come on.
There's your crunchy nuts.
Give them a hoof.
Now, but who makes these?
This is bought in Iceland.
Oh, it's in Iceland.
For the record.
All right. Very on brand. Yes. Oh, it's in Iceland. For the record.
All right.
Very on brand.
Yes.
What do you think these will smell like? To be honest, all of this, including a pot, five, four, all of this was a tenner.
That's good, isn't it?
The wine, the £2.50, then it was £5 for the thing.
Oh, so no, £1 for that, £1 for that, £2 for that.
So yeah, maybe £12 for everything we're eating right now.
All in.
And to be honest, save the money, don't get the books fizz don't get the baby sham
spend 10 pound on something nice it's christmas fucking hell this is horrible shit it really is
right open up the crunch time mr silverman i mean those crisps weren't bad no no to be yeah no the
crisps were fine that was one pound for a pack of six. Huff. Oh, no.
Oh, not good.
It's not good.
Why is it not good?
Tell me.
Tell Daddy.
It's greasy.
Smells greasy.
Smells greasy.
And a bit burnt.
Daddy smell.
Greasy and burnt, I smell.
Oh!
Do you know what I mean?
God!
Like that burnt barbecue sauce, sort of burnt, greasy.
No.
Do you know what it smells like?
It smells like burnt rib bone. Yeah, or something. It's got that kind of marrow bone kind of..., greasy... No. Do you know what it smells like? It smells like burnt rib bone.
Yeah, or something.
It's got that kind of marrow bone kind of...
Oh, fucking hell.
I'm going to...
That's not a great first impression.
How much were these?
One pound for the bag of those.
That's quite cheap.
Yeah, but...
Yeah.
All right, here we go.
Oh, that's really unpleasant, man.
Fucking...
That's...
It's like stale.
All the coating's not... Oh. Oh. Oh, no. Fucking... That's... It's like stale. All the coating's not...
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Just with an anemic...
God, that's barbecue flavour just creeping over a bit at the end.
The nuts are off.
Yeah.
Or they're...
They're stale.
Oh, God.
God.
That's really unpleasant.
Not a good nut.
It's nicer at the end, actually.
No.
Than at the beginning.
No.
The beginning and the end is one fucking tragic story. There's no crunch. There's no crunch. It's nicer at the end, actually. No. Than at the beginning. No. The beginning and the end
is one fucking tragic story.
There's no crisp,
there's no crunch.
There's no crunch.
There's not enough flavour to it.
It's like you get the...
Then there's that greasy aftertaste.
That's quite interesting.
It smells like it tastes that bad, usually.
It just tastes like
if you just ate the fat on bacon.
Yeah. Cheap bacon that had been just ate the fat on bacon. Yeah.
Cheap bacon
that had been singed
but not actually cooked.
Still raw
but just a bit singed
in the pan.
Oh God,
what's going on?
Well,
we're going to have to get
through this segment, Paul.
We've got a few more
bits and bobs.
I don't know if I've got
the energy, mate.
You know what?
Elf on a shelf chocolate.
Fuck that.
I'm just saying.
I'm just not doing it.
Fucking elf on a shelf.
Look, it's elf on my
knobbage.
Elf on my gob.
Elf on your knob.
Oh, you've broken
the elf up.
Yeah, because I just
threw it.
It's going to taste
of cheap chocolate.
Paul, Mr. McHennessy
wants you to slide
your glass over.
My glass is over there, sir. I'm going to slide it over for you., Mr. Hennessy wants you to slide your glass over. My glass is over there, sir.
I'll slide it over for you.
Put Mr. Hennessy in my glass.
There's a little lick of Hennessy.
Oh, here we go.
This will make all the pain of the food. I'm trying to ignore that corpse upstairs.
Yeah.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Right, next we've got Terry's Chocolate Orange Flavoured Bar. We all have Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas, Right next we've got Terry's Chocolate Orange
We all have Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas don't we?
Apart from the course
Everyone gets a Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas
I didn't
The most segmented of chocolates
I never did
Really?
No
Matchmakers?
No
It was always everyone in our family always got a chocolate orange
We were macrobiotic
You fucking wankers
What?
You call my whole family wankers now?
Yes, your whole family.
I employ your family in my mind to put vegetables in things.
Yeah, and I employ all your family to go away witty man Paul.
He's not witty man.
So, what's this?
What's so special about this chocolate orange bar?
Well, it's a Christmas because it's Cranberry Limited Edition.
The other fruit for Christmas is cranberry, apparently.
Is that an American thing, though?
Yes.
Because I didn't remember
cranberry being a thing
when I was young.
It wasn't even available here
in drink form early on.
No.
I think it was first sold in Britain
as a sort of like...
Like, you know you see olive oil
in a pharmacy?
Yeah.
To put in your hair or whatever
as a treatment.
These days, yeah,
it's all like,
stick it on your pasta, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think cranberry was like that. It was on your pasta, isn't it? I think cranberry was
like that.
It was for cystitis,
wasn't it?
Was it?
It prescribed for
cystitis.
Oh, to clean out your
system.
Clean out your
urinary tract.
They say that, don't
they?
Cranberry's good for
pissing.
But it had that kind
of status.
It wasn't something
that you'd use as a
flavour in a seasonal
meal.
Anyway, I went and
got this.
I'm just trying to
fill you in on some
fucking cranberry
knowledge. Fill you in? some fucking cranberry knowledge.
Fill you in?
Yeah.
How?
On my crumbly nonsense.
Good, I'm looking forward to that.
Anyway, look,
this is Terry's Chocolate Orange,
which is a popular chocolate
in the UK.
Usually it's like
in an orange shape.
It's a round,
spherical,
chocolate-segmented thing
that you drop on the floor
and then eat in bits.
But this is just a bar
and it's got cranberries in
and I'm going to test it.
It's a little soft, but it has a little fridge.
Oh, it's nice. It smells like
Terry's chocolate orange, though. It smells lovely, doesn't it?
It has that... It's familiar.
That's a lovely orangey chocolate smell, isn't it?
I love that smell. I love the smell of orange.
I love the smell of chocolate, don't you?
Orange chocolate is something I enjoy smelling rather than
eating. It's a weird thing. I don't even want to eat this.
It's got bits in. It's got little red. I don't even want to eat this. It's got bits in.
It's got little red bits in.
I'm going to have a bite.
Here we go.
Very sweet.
Very sweet.
Too sweet for me.
Too sweet for me.
The flavour's nice, but it's just so sweet.
Like, my mouth is...
I can't really taste any cranberry stuff.
Can you?
It's overwhelmingly orange for me.
No, I'm getting a bit of...
I got a bit, a little bit in there.
A little knob jewel in there.
No, I'm just getting orange. Did you
didn't, but you didn't, look. Yeah, I did. I ate quite
a big bit. Well, have some more finesse
in your mouth parts then.
Think about it, what deeply are. Next.
Alright, that was alright. Next what?
It's your party, mate. Next thing.
Alright. I did
no after eights have gone off the fucking rails. Oh, that's why I got confused
with the after eights. Yeah, so after
eights are a popular, I don't know how popular they are in America or whatever, but I don't think...
Can I just say that is like so sweet.
Make my teeth fucking itch.
Real bad.
Real bad.
Yeah.
If you like Terry's chocolate orange, you'll like that, but...
I'm going to grab a stout.
Right, so I'll just tell the...
So in the UK, after eight is a kind of faux posh chocolate.
It's a thin...
Well, you know, have you seen Meaning of Life by Monty Python?
There's a bit with the whole wafer thin mint.
That's what that is.
It's a chocolate wafer thin mint.
It's delicate and you polish off a box in half an hour
if you're drunk or stoned at Christmas.
Did you know, Paul, that the pronunciation of the word wafer
is changing because of the way
it's pronounced on that movie.
What, so people say wafer?
They do.
That's depressing.
I know, it's like people saying,
like people in America
saying by accident.
I hate that.
On accident, they say,
which fucking makes me angry.
Why?
Come on.
Because it's nothing
that is on accident.
It's language, isn't it?
It's language.
It's by accident.
On accident.
Why is it on accident?
It's not.
I hate it as well,
but it's irrational to hate something like that. It's just usage. Yeah, right it on accident? It's not I hate it as well But it's irrational
To hate something like that
It's just usage
Yeah right
I gotta learn to love
They call it Waffer on accident
Anyway
After 8 Minutes
Are popular in the UK
Primarily
I don't know how they are
Around the world
But they kind of come out
At Christmas
With your matchmakers
And they go around the tree
With your boxes of quality street
And everyone fucking has them
And it's one of those
Products Paul
Which had sort of
A sort of fake
Classiness It was a fake classiness.
It was all about classiness.
Yeah.
Wasn't it?
It's like the Viennetta, isn't it?
It's like Viennetta is cheap shit, but people went like,
oh, he's brought out the Viennetta.
As if it's something you, they sort of sold it as if it was something
you could bring out and your guests would think that you were well to do.
Was it ever really that?
It's like, what is, it's that nouveau riche almost of snacks,
where it's like, after eights, Viennetta were like, it's that nouveau riche almost of snacks where it's like,
after eights,
Vero Rosso and Viennetto
are like,
on adverts,
they made it...
Fake, upper class
confectionery products.
The adverts make you think
that if you buy these products,
all of a sudden,
you're high class.
Yeah, some of the aristocracy
will rub off on you.
And the thing is,
when you go to your shop
and you buy your after eights
for one pound,
that's not classy.
They never used to be that cheap.
They started relatively expensive. I think all three of those products were like back in the year you're right
you're right they were and then their reputation changes over time like baby shower they were never
really classy you know what i mean were they well it was because they came in like delicately wrapped
sleeves and the sleeve lets are like a marketing thing aren't they because they really make they
have this sort of kinetic vibe about them.
Yeah.
That makes you think, oh, it's special.
Do you know what I mean?
There's a certain joy about taking it out of its little sleeve.
Of its little envelope.
But also, it's the cunts who put it back in.
So you never know how many are left in the box.
So you go through, you go, envelope, envelope, envelope, envelope.
They're similar to burnt matches or something.
Yeah.
It's fucking wasting my time.
So what's so special about these ones you've got?
Well, because these ones are gin and tonic flavoured
limited edition.
Hello!
There's no booze in this,
but it is gin and tonic flavoured.
Bring it on!
Is it full of booze?
No.
Come on, I'll have eight.
Down them!
Down them!
I'll eat them all, Paul.
Let's melt them down,
turn them into a drink
to drink it.
I'm going to sniff.
Oh, it's a gin o'clock
at after eight
is what it says on the roof of the box.
Little delicate piece of paper for no reason.
I'm having a sniff.
Doesn't mind me at Christmas, though, seeing those lie about.
Smells like after eights.
Exactly like after eights.
That nice dark chocolate mint kind of fondant.
There's a bit of a zest, a zesty twang, a citrus twang.
Oh, I didn't catch that.
Definitely.
Top note, citrus top note
coming off the
off the chocolate
a choffney boff off
don't choffney
don't say chordney
or choffney
or brodney
or poffney
or jodney
or rodney
I'll say
cockney boffney
wafty choffney
hiddly boodly boo
don't say
chortney
or boftney
or boffney
or chodney
here I'm handing you one
how about a
pricka pricka pronte
yo
don't try and
dress up pricka pricka pronte I'm having you one. How about a Prick-a-Prick-a-Pronte, yo? Don't try and dress up Prick-a-Prick-a-Pronte.
I'm having a sniff.
Yeah, I can't taste any different.
I haven't had a bite yet, but let's have a bite of a wethafin mint.
Ugh.
I don't like that.
No, that was a...
It's like less minty than you want it to be.
Do you know what I mean?
It tastes more like...
It's more bitter.
Do you know what it tastes like more now?
Like a fries chocolate thing?
Because the fries chocolate thing was
kind of a more
intense after eight
but this, oh.
They've gone for the
bitterness of the
tonic, do you know
what I mean?
Instead of the
sharpness of the
lemon.
Oh, why do I do
that?
What did you hate
the most of all
these products?
Your company.
Okay, Paul, yes.
Well, you know.
You know, on
reflection, oh God. I'll tell you what I hated the most.
All of it.
What was actually the least likeable thing?
I'm trying to think.
I know, the digestives.
I didn't like the Christmas pudding digestives.
Avoid everybody.
Right.
Because I don't like the taste of Christmas.
Here's my finale.
I've got more booze.
I went and got booze bombs.
From where?
The worst shop ever in the world.
Oh, have you?
No, I went to Iceland. The freezer shop ever in the world? Oh, have you known?
I went to Iceland,
the freezer shop.
Oh, it's all Iceland,
isn't it?
You drug yourself round the corner,
tapping on Iceland's window
when they're shutting.
Please,
I need booze bombs.
I've got a problem.
It was almost like that.
These are four,
no, three
gin liqueur booze bombs
bursting with
sweet, fruity flavours. Gin liqueur?
They come in little... There's no gin
in them. Just like with the
Bucks Fizz, Paul.
Nothing's any gin.
Nothing that was ever gin originated.
These three flavours
are 20% Volcahol.
Volcahol!
And we have boozy apple,
berry blush, or blueberry jam. Are we sharing them? I was going gonna have one berry blush or blueberry jam
are we sharing them
I was gonna have them
just for me
you can fuck off
no
look they come in little bottles
we share them
look at those little bottles
you found that cute do you
yeah because they're
little round bottles
they look like little
round bombs don't they
what do you want
do you want the blue one
which is blueberry jam
no we share each one
because it's a service
we're providing
where we taste these things
for the people
the good people
these are 20%
this will be fucking
what we need to get
hot hot hot
what do you mean
hot hot hot
I'll be honest with you
mate
what
I wanna
what
no you wanna have
sex with me
that's
we can't put that
out there Paul
because that's the
sort of subtextual
thing that keeps
people coming back
week after week
so
I wanna eat your heart.
I'm winking.
I'm winking at you.
I'll never have sex with you, Paul.
He's winking, ladies and gentlemen,
which means I'm on for some
red hot, rumpy, pumpy, fat, fun fuck.
No, come on.
We should share those, though.
Seriously.
It's not about us having sex.
We've got boozy apple,
berry blush,
blueberry jam,
and they've got gin in.
Let's start with the blueberry.
And they're 20% vodka. What do you think is going to be your favourite of those three flavours? Apple. I fucking love Spar Apple., berry blush, blueberry jam. And they've got gin in. Let's start with the blueberry. And they're 20% vodka.
What do you think is going to be your favourite of those three flavours?
Apple.
I fucking love spout apple.
Let's save that for last because it's your favourite.
We'll start with the blueberry.
Here's the blueberry.
I'll pour some into your glass.
I'm not going to guzzle it.
I only want the smallest of tasties.
All right.
Use that.
Here we go.
All right.
Oh, God, it's making me sick just looking at it.
It's really blue. It looks like Mr. Freeze sick just looking at it. It's really blue.
It looks like, you know, a Mr. Freeze ice lollies melt.
It's that blue intense.
This is 80s terrible cocktail blue, isn't it?
Talk on the mic.
80s terrible cocktail blue.
Yeah.
And it smells like Mr. Freeze melted blueberry.
Oh, that smells bad.
Again, it's got that dog pissy, that same, I think it's the aspartame.
Do you know what I mean?
I mean, it doesn't taste, to me, I don't get that.
So my next question is, have you been sniffing dog piss and it's just, I think it's the aspartame. Do you know what I mean? I mean, it doesn't taste, to me, I don't get that.
So my next question is, have you been sniffing dog piss and it's just lingering on your nostril hairs?
No, it can't linger on my nostril hairs.
It can, it does with me.
When I get a good huff of a dog's dick, that piss lingers.
Do you have to let it linger?
Oh, that's truly, truly puke-making awful.
Hang on, I'm going to need to test it.
Here we go.
That's the start of a night, but never at the end of a night.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, that's horrible stuff.
Oh, that is so bad.
Oh, I don't like that at all.
It's syrupy.
Dirty boys.
It's like cough syrup.
Yeah.
You're right.
All right, next.
So nasty.
Nasty.
This is berry blush.
I don't know if I can do the rest of the show, Paul.
Berry blush, which sounds like something you fucking spray on the back of your neck.
Or on your vag.

That is nasty.
Right, last one.
I don't want to do it.
Apple.

Go on, pause it.
Well, that to me smells like what I thought it was going to smell like.

That would kill me.
That would be belly rainbow half an hour.
Do you know what I mean?
Here we go.
I'm drinking spot all of it.
And think of the hangover you'd get with that sugar content.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like doubly dehydrating.

It's ruined taste.
The grand finale

Crackers.
Yeah, it's Christmas.
I went to Poundland
and I got five pound
crackers deluxe.
So they're deluxe items.
How can you get five pound
crackers from Poundland?
Because they sold them
for five pounds.
Did they sell them
in pieces?
They sold loads of
things for five pounds.
And then they assembled
them for you at the till?
No, these are just £5.
Well, how is that real then?
Look.
Look at them.
Golden, silver.
Oh, those look snazzy.
Pass them over.
Tender looks, crackers.
You're not allowed
to look at the back though
because it spores a surprise.
Right, give us one.
What do you want,
gold or silver?
Gold.
This one's silver,

Gold and white then.
There you go.
Right, I'm going to grab it.
Merry Christmas.
Let's pull a cracker.
Oh, Eli got it.
No bang.
Pull the handle.
Nice.
But it would have been more effective if we pulled it.
Look at that anemic colour.
What's a terrible colour for a hat?
They're always like that.
No, sometimes they're red.
Talk on mic.
Sometimes they're red.
You don't want me to really talk on the mic, do you?
Of course I do.
Otherwise we can't hear you
And I have to fiddle around
And fucking edit on this
I'll get the contents of this cracker out

Then you fell on the floor
You need to look for it

Does it spin?
No, you're meant to spin it the way round.
Yeah, look at it here.
Oh, yeah.
Is that here?

That is a pretty shit.
That's a real 2020 Christmas present.

You ready for the joke?
Go on, hit me with it.
I'll have to guess the punchline.

You know, they don't have crackers in America.
I took crackers once to an American household when I lived in LA.
Where is this British shit?
They told me not to do it again because it upset their dogs.
It was like, please don't.
They didn't like you.
They really...
They didn't like you.
No, because it was my in-laws at the time.
Of course they fucking liked me. I was great. They didn't. They're telling you not to bring crackers. Mate. Oh, because it was my in-laws at the time. Of course they fucking liked me.
I was great.
They didn't.
They're telling you not to bring crackers.

Yes.
Why was Santa's little helper depressed?
Because he was a little under the elf.
Elf.
A little under the...
He had bad elf.
Bad mental elf.
Bad mental elf.
That's better than the punchline is.
It's very close to the punchline,
which is because he had low elf esteem.
Yeah.
Same shit, innit?
Don't laugh.
That was a genuine laugh.
Low elf esteem.
What do they call people who are afraid of Santa Claus?
The answer's in the joke, I suppose.

Bye-bye.

Happy Bahamas.
Merry Christmas to you.
Oh, yeah, cool.
Let's go and get the you in, Paul.

Yeah, do another one.

Right, I'll guess them now, Paul.
I'm being very serious.

Do you want that?
A little hologram book of paper?

Yeah, I've got one.
Did you get the clip, though?
Yeah, it's there.
It's got the carabiner.

No, not that one.
I like that one.
That's useful.
Get the joke out.
Hat.
Oh, nail file.

You could use that to get the calluses off your penis.
What calluses?
The dryness.
Oh, that works.
Knock, knock.
Oh, that's a good nail file, isn't it?
Knock, knock.

Next here's a joke
Here's the next one
What do Santa's elves
Learn at Christmas school
Never to cross Santa
Unless they don't
Want to be killed
Basically The alphabet Yeah the alphabet Santa's elves learn at Christmas school. Never to cross Santa unless they don't want to be killed.
Basically.
The alphabet.
Yeah, the alphabet.
Right, last one.
God, I'm sick of this.
Don't try and pull it with yourself.
I'm here.
Go.
Jesus, that would have gone in my eye if I hadn't closed it in time.
Right, I got the joke.
I watched the Bulldog clip.
I'm having that.
Oh, you can't. Don't. That's the only thing I wanted. Please. It's a nice one. Right, I got the joke. I worked for a Bulldog clip. I'm having that. Oh, you can't.
Don't.
That's the only thing I wanted.
Please.
It's a nice one as well. It's a little metal.
I can use that to hold a...
A dream.
A postcard up in my room.
That's true.
All right, here are our last jokes
and then we'll end it.
What do you get if you cross
Father Christmas and a detective?
An investigator.
If it was a crocodile and a detective,
it would be an investigator.
We're not changing the joke
so you can win a points-line game.
If it was a crocodile, though, and a detective, what would it be, Paul? An investigator. Yeah, I know, but're not changing the joke so you can win a points like game if it was a crocodile though and a detective
what would it be Paul
an investigator
yeah I know
but that's not the joke
the joke is
what do you get
if you cross
Santa's claws
with a detective
you don't know
and you won't know
and this is a waste
of time
the answer is
Santa clues
next
last one
that's poor
very poor
what do you call
a man who claps
at Christmas
cunt clapping man.
Yeah.
It is Santa applause.
Oh.
That's so fucking awful.
They're not even trying now, are they?
No, it's like fucking Santa whatever.
Santa migre.
Santa Monica.
Listen.
What's hot on the coast of L.A.?
And there's a character from fucking Friends.
The coast of L.A.? Yeah. The L.A. is on the coast. It's not on the coast of LA? And there's a character from fucking Friends. The coast of LA?
Yeah.
The LA is on the coast.
It's not on the coast of LA.
It's what's on the coast of LA
and is a friend of Father Christmas
and likes Friends.
Santa Monica.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
I like that one.
It needs a better build up.
It's now time for presents.
The party is wrapping up.
I have three.
So do you want a little...
You have your first.
They're my first.
I've got two.
Oh, here we go.
So should I go first?
You, me, you, me.
This is something, Paul, you suffer from coldness.
I'm handing it you.
I'm going to put it in my hand.
Oh, what is this?
What do you think that is?
What is it?
It's a pocket hand warmer.
Two pieces.
Two pieces there.
It's unopened, mint on card, and it's for going to football matches with,
which is why they've got the footballs on.
Place the, bend the metal plate.
The saline solution inside crystallises
and, depending on outdoor temperature,
the pocket hand warmer emits a comfortable heat
of up to 55 degrees centigrade for 30 minutes.
If you get cold this winter,
you crack that and think of me, yeah?
Put it next to your knob and think of me.
Put it down the front.
Yeah, let's open it.
I'm opening it.
Get off.
My present.
You don't open my presents.
I do.
What do you think about that
oh it's a little football shaped they're wicked a little football one off now let's see how hot
it gets i've got a what i've got to do got it they're reusable you got crack it it's like a
little pop crack it i've done it i've snapped it off the reaction yeah it's doing it it's doing
it yeah it's doing it how cool are they doing? They're pretty cool, aren't they? Mate, it's moving.
I can feel it.
Yeah.
It's warming up.
It's swelling in my hand.
It's the chemical reaction that causes the heat.
Oh, I thought it was going blue, but it's just reflective.
Oh, mate.
Yeah.
Feel that.
Yeah, it spreads.
Isn't that nice?
Oh.
You can put it down your front chub.
Oh, it's getting real warm.
Yeah.
And how long does it say it goes for?
30 minutes, depending on outside temperature.
It looks like a football.
Yeah, you can put it in your pocket.
Get your hands in your pocket.
It's very warm in here, so you're not getting the full effect.
Not getting the benefit.
That's nice, isn't it?
Oh, thank you.
That's nice.
Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
I'm holding it.
I'm holding it.
That's nice.
Because it has been very cold this year.
Yeah.
Already, hasn't it?
Yeah.
Now it's time for my present.
I can put it in under me gooch.
Right, here's your first present.
Oh, he's having fun.
What is it?
Oh, I like this already.
Yeah, because it's a bit modular, isn't it?
It's a brain maze,
and it looks like a fucking well-modular plastic-coloured toy.
That's all I'm saying, guys.
It's basically a...
It's spherical.
It's like a plastic ball within a plastic ball
within a plastic ball within a plastic balls.
I'm not even going to try and solve it.
I'll just put it on my shelf and go,
ah, it's a modular plastic toy. It's a modular plastic toy. Yes. Show it to the camera. I'll show it I love this. I'm not even going to try and solve it. I'll just put it on my shelf and go, ah, it's a modular plastic toy.
It's a modular plastic toy.
Yes.
Show it to the camera.
I'll show it to the camera.
Oh, this is so cool, mate.
What's the level of difficulty?
Why can't I get it?
Is that how you...
I want it to be all of one piece.
Is that what solving it would entail?
Oh, I don't get it.
I think you've got to build it for me.
Oh, shit.
It is modulated all over the floor.
It couldn't be more in pieces now, Paul.
We'll worry about that later.
It's nice.
I like it.
Yeah, it's a nice modular toy for you to build.
A ball within a ball within a ball.
You can't lose any pieces.
It's a puzzle.
I'll do that.
It went absolutely everywhere.
Listen up.
Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen.
We will find it.
It's neon, apparently. I like the colouring.
Nice, that. I thought, you know what it reminds me of?
Why I bought it for you? Because I was watching an old
Barshens. You know you brought that modular
kind of toy. I bought it in the
Albright Knox gift shop,
which is a modern art museum in
America. And this reminded me of that, so I got it
for you. That was more of a toy and not a puzzle.
But it was more primal than this. But this is
a similar, yes, it has a similar modular structure.
Yeah.
It's like a kind of a Russian doll of balls.
I'm a sucker for coloured plastic.
Want to get my pants, want to get the hatch, the Yiffin hatch open.
Fucking getting me some modular plastic toys with colours in them.
And I'll be stroking your bird till Christmas comes.
I'll be chubbing your knobbing when they come round.
When they come, when they chubbing.
I put it in the hole
and then I go chuff me.
Chuff me, chuff.
We've lost it.
We have lost it.
I trim all the hairs.
My present.
All the hairs around the hole
and chuff me comes around.
Comes.
Have you stopped the recording?
No.
All right.
Second present, please, Doctor.
Haven't we been lucky at Christmas?
I like presents at Christmas.
This is nice. Give me a present. On the same thing the same thing i want them i'm gonna close my eyes oh it's a box
oh what oh it's a smart egg puzzle you know what it does it goes up your ass it doesn't go up your
use the one to fucking get your josh off right off no what it is it's a one that you stick in an egg
and then you've got to maneuver it around all these kind of inside
maze elements. Have you seen it before? Yeah, I
have, but sadly, unfortunately
someone solved the maze. So now I
have to figure out a way of sticking it in and
then putting it into a stator. Oh, it's meant to be in there.
I thought there was something wrong with it because I thought
at first that the wand was missing, but it meant to come
with the wand in. The wand was separate.
So someone solved it and sticked it back in the box and then
sent... And then said,
that'll do.
And I've got to now figure out how to get it...
It's mint on card.
Well, it's not mint on card
because obviously someone...
It's mint on fucking card.
Just give me that.
No, it's not.
Because someone solved it.
There's a card.
The card is mint.
It is mint.
No.
It's in the card.
It's mint on fucking card.
It's not mint on card
when someone's opened it,
played it,
solved it,
and thrown it back in the box.
Who's that cunt?
Who's what cunt did that?
Look.
Oh, see this.
Now look what I've done. Have you got it back in the maze now? Ohunt did that? Look. Oh, see this. Now look what I've done.
Have you got it back in the maze now?
Oh, I mean, I took it out.
But this is the thing.
Now my puzzle is not getting it out, but sticking it in.
Can't you reverse engineer it?
A little challenge for you there.
No, that's shit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Jesus Christ.
I've got a puzzle that I can't solve because I need to...
Did you light your hand warmer?
No, the hand warmer's sufficient.
It's time for my present number two.
It's a practical...
I mean, I don't feel like giving it to you.
Now give me the back, which you've stolen off me, which is a very nice lighter. Mate, the only reason I took that lighter's time for my present number two. It's a practical... I mean, I don't feel like giving it to you. Which you've stolen off me,
which is a very nice lighter.
Mate, the only reason I took that lighter
is because you've stolen loads of mine
and I had no...
There's a series of lighters
that Clipper are doing...
Mate, look, now I've got the egg in.
See, now it's in the wand in.
Put it back in its box.
You've already roomed it for me.
And put your fucking sex egg
back in its mint-on-carve box.
Oh, here we go.
Egg, egg, egg.
Insert the wand into the egg from the top.
Move the wand
through the labyrinth
using the paths
and holes available.
Complete the labyrinth
by pulling the wand
out of the bottom.
I fucking often do.
What's this called?
Madden Bovary Sex Farm.
Well, I fucking finish
on your back.
Wait.
Is it time for your
second present, Eli?
I just don't know what time it is. Close your eyes. It's time for your second present.? I just don't know what time it is
Close your eyes
It's time for your second present
I'm not closing
We said you weren't doing anything
No because I haven't wrapped it
So that's why I'm asking you to close your eyes
I don't want you to see it coming
And be like
How's that?
I'll turn away
Here we go
Here we go
The big box
Oh
Thank you very much
This is fantastic
What is it?
It's a Barletti Mocha Express
stovetop espresso machine
with the little cartoon character
who looks like he's out of the earlier
Pink Panther.
Can you hear it there?
Yeah.
That's lovely.
Did you pick this up cheaply, I hope?
I picked it up just for you.
It's £3.
Yeah, very good.
And it's a very nice make.
Lovely spot.
I would have snapped it up myself Paul
lovely
so what you do
do you know how these work
yeah of course
because I have one myself
this is the only way
I like to drink coffee
posh
but it's very
intense isn't it
yeah that's why I like it
but that's a good one
you can get a few cups out of that
yeah you can take
two or three
that's quite a big one
yeah a big
might need a bit of a scrub
but other than that
it's in really good condition
yeah it's fine
everything's there
you've got the middle piece where you pack your high-roast espresso-style coffee, and
then you put that back on the stove.
On the stove?
Thanks.
There you go.
It's a nice way.
I like making coffee that way, and you don't have one, as far as I know, so I've got you
that.
It's better than anything I've got you.
Yeah, I know.
Part for my secret special extra gift, which isn't this one.
All right, well, give me your third and final special gift.
This is my third and final special gift. This is my third
sort of ironic gift.
Oh, it's ironic, which means it's probably a cock.
There's two of them.
It's two
balls.
They're self-help squeezables.
Are they?
They're like Mr. Squash.
They're like Dr. Reed Squash.
They're like stretch arm socks. Oh no, they're not. They're like plastic. Squash. They're like Dr. Reed Squash. They're like... They're like hockey sacks.
No, they're...
Oh, no, they're not.
They're like plasticine-y things.
They're for relief, aren't they, if you've got a stressful job?
Mate, if I need relief, I don't squeeze this.
I squeeze the shaft of my penis until it emits a lovely, lovely sticky love goo.
Yes, but what if you're in the office or something and you can't...
That's never stopped me.
Yes, it has, Paul.
It has.
It has stopped me. It should, though. It should,'t that's never stopped me yes it has Paul it has it has stopped me
it should
because that's abuse
of your co-workers
it's not such abuse
of them in the corner
facing up
what if someone walks in

yes
you can just play with it
and look it's very badly
deformed
it looks like it's got
you can change the face that's what it is it's a bit It looks like it's got... No, you can change the face.
That's what it is.
It's a bit like that moustache game or whatever.
But you can change the face by squeezing it different ways.
Not very good, is it?
It's not.
No.
But Paul, I've also brought you something that is...
It's a depressing question.
From my heart, here is a drawing I made.
That you made for me?
Yes.
Not for you, but it's a drawing I made.
So it's not for me, just showing me it.
I'm gifting that piece of paper which has the drawing on to you.
I'll sign it.
I think that'd be nice.
You could put that in your bathroom or something and get just a cheap frame for it.
Yeah.
No?
You're not even liking that.
Okay.
I can take it back.
No, take it back.
That's bona fide-ly a good one.
But you should.
Put it, scan it, take a picture, and then we can put it on a T-shirt
on our Redbubble site.
This one's for you.
I don't want this on a T-shirt.
All right, okay.
Well, then, thank you very much.
It's a nice, personalised gift.
I'm going to sign it now.
Sign it now.
I've got...
Where's that pen?
I've got a biro.
No, where's that...
Oh, here's something as well.
No, I've got...
There's a Sharpie there.
I'm not going to go for a Sharpie
because the line is so much thicker
than everything on the actual picture that it will ruin it. Use a Sharpie. It's right there. I've got a biro here a Sharpie there. I'm not going to go for a Sharpie because the line is so much thicker than everything on the actual picture
that it will ruin it.
Use a Sharpie.
It's right there.
I've got a biro here.
It's fine.
Biro's common.
The whole picture is in biro.
Yeah, I know.
Don't do this to me.
I'm fucking opening myself emotionally to you
by giving you a piece of my artwork.
You never open yourself up enough.
I want you to open all the way up.
There, I've signed it.
Great.
Now it's worth 70 pence.
This is meant to be a nice picture.
It's nice.
Does your girlfriend like art?
Yeah, she does.
That's why she won't like that.
Why won't she like it?
It's not art, is it?
Scribbles.
I'm going to take it back.
Scribbling.
Scribbling.
Scrubbles.
That's a scribble?
It's just scrubbles is what it is.
Scrubbles and scrubbles.
This isn't even on the podcast, mate.
Anyway, right.
That's that segment done.
The presents are out the way
and the crackers are done.
It's not a good vibe.
This is my party.
I'm going to do some dancing.
Do you really not like the drawing?
No, I do like the drawing, mate.
It's lovely.
I will use that.
That's literally a piece of artwork.
I might put it in a frame.
I will put it in a frame.
Thank you very much.
I'll put it in a frame.
Put it in a frame and put it on my wall.
You don't have to. And look at it every day. Oh, a frame and put it on my wall. You don't have to.
And look at it every day.
Oh, Eli made that.
It's so special.
You don't have to do that.
And I'll stop my partner and say, look at that.
And she'll go, oh, it's so beautiful.
And we'll stare at it until fucking the world rots away behind us.
Yeah, you've ruined everything.
You've ruined everything about it.
How about...
There's no recourse now.
Ruined my cock.
I haven't ruined your cock
press the stop
and let's have a sound effect
let's have a sound effect Right, Paul, how are we getting out of this episode?
Well, we've eaten, drunk and been merry.
We've had presents.
Let's have a little recap.
What was your favourite present of mine?
I like the artwork. Thank you.
And my favourite present from you
is definitely this coffee maker. I love
coffee makers like that. Every home should have one.
It's the best way to have coffee. Ten minutes, blam, blam, blam.
Blam, blam, blam. Nice, tasty,
rich, thick coffee. It's espresso. I like a strong
taste. You get it well strong.
You do, of course you do what do you use
like an Illy
or when you make it
I have one similar to that
you use pods now
no no no
only for in the morning
when I can't be arsed
that's when I want to
are you going to make a coffee
you'll make it with this
I make a proper coffee
and you use like cold milk
I have a Colombian coffee
that I put in there
that I really like
okay and that's a more
sort of vanilla-y almost
it's mellow
nutty
it's nutty and mellow
but it's intense it is intense Colomb. Yeah. It's not this strong.
But it's intense.
It is intense, Columbia.
Yes, but it's got them all rounded.
It's got more of a flavour.
They're one of the biggest
coffee makers in the world, Columbia.
Yeah, well, there you go.
Right, we have to get out of this episode.
We need to wrap up.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
Oh, we need to leave.
Twenty-eighteen?
Eighteen?
Twenty-twenty has been...
Can you please not let this
be representative of me this year,
what I have done on this podcast?
It's pretty much representative.
No, no, no.
I've come up with characters this year.
Have you?
Inch Man.
No.
Who have you done?
Bill Donut.
Bill Donut, which is a breakout success.
He's not.
He's just a rip-off
of fucking Grumpy Sessions,
who sings.
There's also been Don McNaughton,
which is my response, ladies and gentlemen.
Which is a rip-off of Jimmy Biscuits, then.
Yes, but Jimmy Biscuits, you're very... Fourth process. The originator of Jimmy Biscuits mcnarvin which is my response ladies which is a rip-off of jimmy biscuits yes but jimmy biscuits
you're very thought process if the originator of jimmy biscuits is very loath to bring him back
from the why are you sniffing that i'm pulling my nose hairs out uh with what tweezer oh i don't
need to see that oh i do not need to see that well then don't look at me ever can we just wrap this
up paul look i'm gonna set light to the house because that's what you want with stupid thing Well then don't look at me. Ever. Can we just wrap this up, Paul?
Look, I'm going to set light to the house
because that's what you want.
A stupid thing for the end of this project.
No, shut up.
No, I'm lighting it.
Look, here.
No, we'll do it properly.
I'm lighting the house up.
No, we'll do it properly.
No, I'm doing it now.
You do the housework.
I'm just going to set fires everywhere.
No, shut up.
Do this properly, right?
I'm not doing it properly.
Eli.
Oh, it's the robot house.
Hello, yes.
Did you do dropsy in Plop Plop House?
No, I've told you before.
I didn't do nothing like that.
I wanted to ask you something, robot house.
Yes?
What is time?
Time is a fake construct completed and informed by man to break up the hours of the day.
Is that it?
That's all?
Time is not real.
Time is a man-made construct.
Everything is fleeting.
I mean, robot house guy.
Yes. Can I just talk to Paul outside
of this, please? What do you want?
You have to do the robot house self-destructing.
I know, I'm going to do that in a minute.
I gave you, no, I gave you.
But you haven't got there quite yet. You need to do something deeper and richer than that.
I can't think of a deeper question than that.
You can't think of a deeper question than what is time?
Well, you said it.
Yeah, but I haven't said it.
You can't answer me what is time.
Time is easy.
Time is invented by man to help break up the parts of the day.
Yes, but what actually...
I haven't said shit.
It's measurements.
You haven't said it.
It's just a measurement.
Time isn't a separate thing that exists that we discovered as a concrete basis.
It is a commonly agreed unit of movement
through the tight
space time continuum
okay thank you
so what should I
say to the house
to make it
self-destruct
Eli
hello
did you finish off
when you entered
me before
I fucking
you know what I did
robot house
yes
I went up in there
I went all round
the stairs up there
round into the toilet
got the chodder up.
I chodded it out.
And I fucking spodded it off.
And then I fucking shat all around the basin.
Chod knee, spod off, chod.
Is this what you want?
Is this what you want from me?
Eli, Eli.
I can't, I can't, I can't.
Take more, take more.
Take more, take more. I can't, I can't, I can't. Take more, take more, take more, take more.
Daisy, Daisy.
I'm going to do it in a minute.
I must break down this house and destroy all relevance of it.
It is exterminate, exterminate.
Eli, I love you and I can't live without you.
I'm going to blow this house up. Paul, we have to get out. Paul, get out. Experminate. You lie. I love you and I can't live without you. I'm going to blow this house up.
Paul, we have to get out.
We've got to get out of here.
Grab whatever you want.
The smart egg.
Do you want that?
I've got the coffee maker.
Make sure you don't forget my drawing.
I won't.
