00:00:00,000 I say boy, me sir? Yes you boy! Oh wonderful boy charming boy!
00:00:06,000 What day is it today boy? Today sir? Or today’s the day that the Get
Shirty Podcast comes out sir?
00:00:12,000 Woah! I haven’t missed it after all! Oh thank you spirits, thank you!
00:00:18,400 I get to listen to the Get Shirty Podcast! Merry Christmas! Everyone!
00:00:26,000 It’s rare that I wear pants. Do you want that lift in there? I like care!
00:00:33,000 Welcome to Get Shirty, the podcast that likes to look at the little things
in life which never fail to irritate. Each episode we ask our special guest
to talk about what gets them shirty at home, work
00:00:44,880 and going out. Then our off the cuff surprise question could take the
chat anywhere. Each guest also designs their own made to measure
shirt which we then make, so we talk about
00:00:55,840 that too. Funny that, us being tailors? Merry Christmas shirties!
00:01:06,840 Can I call you shirties? I feel like shirt as I know you so well. #stewtwo
here, hijacking the intro from Merry Lustrous Leader Stuart Hardman.
00:01:16,840 Thought this would be a nice surprise for him, see won’t know about it,
till he listens to it, on Christmas Eve when he goes out. Plus, I think I’m
better at it than him too.
00:01:26,840 I figured as its Christmas give you lovely listeners a treat. That has a,
as written a new piece of Christmas music, just forget shirty, and I
reckon it will be nice for you to hear the whole thing rather than just a
snippet before we start.
00:01:39,440 If you’d rather get straight to the chat, feel free to skip ahead to 6
minutes and 8 seconds. But I think you’ll like this, it’s a bit of fun. I will
also put the song in full at the end, so you can listen to it later as well.
00:01:53,880 This week our Christmas present to you is a Christmas get shirty look
back, along with some Christmas shirties sent in by previous guests,
family and friends. We have some messages to read out and small dear
files to play.
00:02:05,960 Quick reminder coming in the new year we’ll have our Patreon page up
and running, where you can get access to all the music of get shirty and
a name check at the end of every podcast if you join our Cuff’s
membership tier
00:02:15,880 We’ll also have the get shirty music album available to buy in the
Patreon shop. Very nice! So bad it really, enjoy the Christmas song and
enjoy the podcast, a big thank you to all
00:02:26,720 our guests so far and to them and friends and family for their Christmas
get shirty contributions. And a massive thank you to all of you that
continue to listen in the podcast. Listen in the podcast or listen to the
podcast.
00:02:39,280 It’s very much appreciated, we hope you continue to listen in 2025 and
beyond. And as one of our guests said, let’s hope we thrive in 25. Here
we go then, three mics, two tailors, one podcast producer and
operations manager,
00:02:56,160 no guest and a crack full of irritations. Let’s get shirty. Hey, God, it’s
Christmas!
00:03:02,680 Oh, cheeky minstrike! This was putty, fucking off. What is famous of all
of us?
00:03:53,320 Oh, it’s good. I’m going to do it again. This was really good.
00:05:00,920 Let’s get started. Please, it might kiss your head (Music)
00:05:47,380 (Music) Welcome to the Gitt Shirti Christmas Special of first ever
Christmas special
00:06:16,380 Cheers! Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! I got some Christmas
spirit, I have a pile-out here, one pile-out, one pims, in a can, and a tea
and a tea and some foxes classics
00:06:37,380 Oh yeah, good to you, right? Podcast wise and shop wise obviously but
let’s run a year to talk about the podcast It’s not even been a year yet,
is it?
00:06:52,380 Podcasting? No. January, well we started recording over a year ago
yeah, that’s one when I had it, did it go in January? January the early
on? January the early on
00:07:11,380 It feels like it’s been going for like five years, it does, doesn’t it? It does
feel like it’s been going for two years We’re going to say that every time
we pick it up
00:07:23,380 So according to 9th of Jan, the first one went out -Very first one -I’m so
close -Where’d you? You’re a friend to my friend and everyone’s friend,
including Sam’s friend.
00:07:34,620 -Dishwash the ground zero. -Dishwash the ground zero, you started.
-Yes he said that ‘Get sure to bar actually’. You really, didn’t he?
00:07:44,060 -He was -He was a bit in the first -The first dishwasher bar? Yeah he
did. And then, just because he needed to get mention, every time,
00:07:52,340 Adam Bucksdon really did a weird thing on the dishwasher front -I think
-Yes but he set the hatty cuff bar. -Yeah he did. -He did.
00:08:01,260 -Are we going to do one of those? -Yeah of course we are. -I didn’t put
any Christmas cards in it -I didn’t put any Christmas cards in it. -Pretty
should have just been Christmasy ones.
00:08:08,820 -Just had Christmas work, Christmas to the beginning of it. -Being
poorly at Christmas. So, what’s going to happen today then?
00:08:21,380 -Mr H? -Well, Mr W. What is going to happen today is we are going to
talk about Christmas and Christmas get shirties. We’re going to have, I
think, one of our own if we’ve got ones.
00:08:35,860 We’re going to read a few out from other people. -Ooh. -Ooh. And we’re
going to get some returning guests in the way of some Christmas get
shirty messages.
00:08:48,820 Which is all exciting isn’t it? Go, “Ooh.” -This is very good. -Can you go
up and down? -What do you know? -Ooh.
00:08:57,460 For the listener my hands are going up and down, it’s not that. -That
didn’t zip me through. -It’s a sorry. -Ooh. -Very carry on.
00:09:05,180 -That was so rude. -I think there’s a swanie whistle by that name. Yeah.
Exactly. So that’s what we’re going to do.
00:09:11,940 So where do we want to start? Does somebody want to kick us off with
a Christmas get shirtie? So who’s ready for their Christmas get shirtie?
00:09:19,620 We talked about this earlier, didn’t we? Briefly in the office. Yes, do we?
00:09:24,660 Oh, God. -What? -Me asking you. -Yeah, I don’t think I’ve got one. -I’ve
got one.
00:09:29,060 What, none at all? The boys don’t get up early enough. That is the
only…
00:09:34,380 It’s not like when they were little. -No. -And they’d all come playing,
wearing it at stupid o’clock in the morning.
00:09:38,740 Yeah, that’s nice though, that. Whereas I’m up and waiting and… Right.
00:09:44,700 Well, that would… That would… I’d be…
00:09:48,060 I’d be shirty about that, sitting there waiting for everybody to get up. So
then, you know, something loud would be played music-wise. Oh, yeah.
00:09:56,900 To get them up, to wait them up. -That’s funny. -Massfully. Yeah.
00:10:02,260 So, it’s only nice in retrospect. It’s not nice being working up a 3 in the
morning when you literally just hung the stocking in the bed
00:10:09,540 and sticked away. Yeah, that’s nice. You know, they put your eye on the
pillow, that…
00:10:14,060 Oh, you’re… I was just going to say, where’s the sweet spot? Time,
what’s about it?
00:10:19,140 (LAUGHTER) Let people guess. Let people guess what he was going
to be there.
00:10:26,460 So where is the time sweet spot on Christmas morning? To be working
up by your kids? Oh, I say, when you look over your shoulder,
00:10:35,020 look back over the years, it is nice wherever time, but at the time…
Yeah, so what would have been yours?
00:10:40,140 -For 7 o’clock, 6.30. -6.30. -6.30. -Because you can’t have… You
generally get up to work around that time anyway.
00:10:46,860 -Yes. -What we used to it. I would go… Between 6 and 7 is the sweet
spot.
00:10:52,220 Half-six is perfect, I would say. -You get an awesome day. -Nice, long
day. Get the sausage, sallys, on, or whatever you have them for
breakfast.
00:11:03,300 Yeah, but that’s sort of troubling too much. It’s heartbreaking when
you’ve got to say, “T-you, or youngest.” Just go back to bed through a
little bit longer.
00:11:13,540 Yeah, just a little bit. It’s not time yet. -Not quite… -Not quite…
00:11:18,460 …sleep on your brother’s sofa and then we’ll do the clock for you. And
when that hand reaches there… Oh, yeah, they’ll clock. We did the
clock.
00:11:24,460 Yeah, that is there. And then you can get up. Yeah, it’s funny, isn’t it?
00:11:30,460 It’s quite a… Christmas Eve. It’s quite a tiring one, I think, for Santa’s.
Santa, is there’s only one?
00:11:38,460 Yeah. For Santa. Yeah, that… because it is quite light, you know.
-Specifix at a drink and cut the big cookies in a carrow. -Yeah.
00:11:54,460 Yeah, exactly. And maybe push the hoover around ready for the
morning. -Stopped off at the cocktail bar. -Okay, stopped off at the
cocktail bar. We have to push the hoover around, but not…
00:12:06,460 Yeah, to make sure that the footprints still show… Yeah, in the icing,
actually. -Sort of snow. -Snow.
00:12:16,460 -Snow, that’s the thing. -It is. -That’s the thing. -Well, because of the
beer. That’s what it is.
00:12:22,460 It has to leave the cocaine all over the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of
course. And also, I think this might be the last Christmas that I’ve got all
the boys at home.
00:12:34,460 Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, could be, couldn’t it? So next year will be
weird, because I think… Yeah, I don’t know if that’s a share, do you
think that’s more of a…
00:12:46,460 Oh! Oh, no! Yeah, I’d know, agreed.
00:12:52,460 That is a weird one, actually, isn’t it, when your kid suddenly goes, “Oh,
yeah, I’m somewhere else Christmas.” Oh, yeah.
00:13:00,460 I’ve got older children, so it’s not as if I’m like, shoving my…
Six-year-olds out in the cow, this year. No, but, you know, well, funnily
enough, actually, you can sort of…
00:13:12,460 It prepares you… …being separated… …from your other half at
Christmas, as you’ve taken the dark top.
00:13:22,460 When Eldis was young, of course, she’d do a Christmas here, and a
Christmas at her mums, and so… You find divorce funny?
00:13:35,460 That’s… …surprised me. …surprised you.
00:13:41,460 …yes, just to use it. Oh, my God, believe me, can’t believe it. That
would have been brilliant.
00:13:51,460 That would have been brilliant. I would have loved that. Pims out of the
nose.
00:13:57,460 Yeah, so it prepares you for them getting older and going. Yeah. I
thought you were going to go to Christmas.
00:14:07,460 God, say your heart, oh, Christ! It’s just one of those jokes that only you
find funny. That was going to say, Christmas here.
00:14:19,460 Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. I wish I had though.
00:14:25,460 I still didn’t hear what she said. I wish there’s Christmas here.
Christmas there.
00:14:31,460 Here at Christmas there at Christmas. Everywhere at Christmas. And it
got me, I’m sorry, hello.
00:14:37,460 Yeah, unfortunately, it would be trivialised your pain now. Yeah, well
that’s… That’s the best thing to do with pain.
00:14:42,460 Travelling is it? Otherwise, you give it too much power, and it’s done
before. Cheers!
00:14:47,460 Cheers! So, yeah. Slammy?
00:14:53,460 Yeah, it was Slammy. I was trying to… Yeah, so, yeah, that’s not a good
show.
00:15:01,460 You’re right. But, yeah, wait, I would say wait and for people to get up in
the morning. That’s a good show.
00:15:07,460 When you want to get on with your Christmas and they were instantly in
bed. Yeah, that’s sort of… Is that what you were looting to at the
beginning?
00:15:13,460 Yeah. Any more Christmas get shows from the room? You have it, I
mean.
00:15:17,460 No, no, no. Get these things out first. I’ve discussed earlier, I did have
one, but it aligns with one of our…
00:15:25,460 Sorry, yeah. So, I have to keep that secret for the moment. Any more
get shirties now?
00:15:30,460 Well, I… So, one of my get shirties for Christmas would be… And it’s a
two-part get shirtie, because I get shirtie about it.
00:15:41,460 In fact, I’ve got three. I get shirtie about it, and then I get shirtie with
myself for getting shirtie about it. So, it’s a double get shirtie.
00:15:50,460 One of the things… Shirtieception. It is a shirtie…
00:15:54,460 Yeah, I can’t say that. Go on. Shirtieception.
00:15:58,460 Sorry, you said? What I don’t like is the wrapping paper everywhere.
And I like it sort of gone quickly.
00:16:09,460 Otherwise, it annoys me, gets someone else. Which has in the past led
to me sort of trying to gather it up even before it’s hit the floor,
00:16:19,460 or having a bag ready to go… Yeah, that was lovely, and it goes straight
in the thing. I know.
00:16:26,460 It’s all for, isn’t it? And I get crossed with myself for doing it. So, you’re
not letting your cat to play in it?
00:16:32,460 It’s a current meme at the moment, though. Yeah, they can play in it.
And, generally, you know,
00:16:41,460 I’ll save a few bits for the volatility. But, I don’t like… Because I don’t like
things getting stepped on and broken,
00:16:49,460 because they were underneath wrapping paper. And it’s a small front
room. Like you’ve got a small front room.
00:16:56,460 And if it’s filled up with loads of wrapping paper, it really gets on the
tips, if I’m honest. But, I wish I could just let it stay where it is,
00:17:06,460 because I like the look of it, and I like that it’s fun, then, you know, and,
you know, all the paper off, but it’s like… Yeah, I used to be like a
mind-came for a point of having an open fire,
00:17:16,460 and all that tinder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we do have the fire, guys.
00:17:22,460 I could say that in line, or unless I could break one. Because it’s doing
the rounds a moment, ticked off, you know, the dad who’s a…
00:17:30,460 Dad’s at Christmas. But who comes in with the bag? Yeah, it’s a thing
that…
00:17:35,460 And what? So, you’re a meme? My ex-brother-in-law, thinking he was
being helpful, was…
00:17:42,460 we had a fire, like a wood burning stove, then. I think. Anyway, he was
bundling everything up, scrunching it all up, throwing it in the fire,
00:17:54,460 and he grabbed all the empty envelopes, threw them in the fire, and
burned all our Christmas money. The whole lot.
00:18:02,460 Happy Christmas! Yeah, vouchers, Christmas money. Yeah.
00:18:08,460 Excellent. About 180 quid. Yeah, that’s dumb.
00:18:14,460 You check first, wouldn’t you? Yeah. Well, you think.
00:18:18,460 Because in the Christmas, you always look. Check the envelope.
Check the envelope.
00:18:21,460 When you’re kidding, you’ve got cards from your aunt’s and uncles. You
don’t have the card, you don’t have the… Oh, a smarty sensor.
00:18:26,460 Check the envelope. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that’s about you.
00:18:30,460 Yeah, yeah. No, it’s just… So, you actually get showed to us about you.
00:18:34,460 Yeah, not being able to let it go. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
00:18:38,460 Yeah, because I don’t mind the paper. I just can’t sit in my room. In fact,
you can’t stand, you know.
00:18:43,460 Yeah, there’s that. Yeah. It’s a bit killed, you know?
00:18:49,460 I think. Scrooge. A bit Scrooge, right?
00:18:52,460 Yeah. Scrooge, like… Watch my picks, Christmas Carol, actually.
00:18:55,460 Classic, Sunday. Already? Classic, yeah.
00:18:58,460 We started off with the whole lot of us. Did you? Sri went up, my picks,
Christmas Carol.
00:19:03,460 Possibly, the whole lot of us possibly one of the best films I’ve ever
seen. In fact, it’s not just Christmas film, but… I don’t think I’ve ever
seen it.
00:19:10,460 I think it’s the second time we’ve seen it. So, for the listeners, the whole
lot of us… Top film.
00:19:16,460 Top film for Christmas? Doesn’t have to be… It came out this year in
January.
00:19:21,460 All right, after Christmas. But it is a Christmas film, really. Right?
00:19:26,460 Paul Giamatti? Great film. Recommend it.
00:19:29,460 It’s a good actor. Right, what about you, Stevie? Got a…
00:19:32,460 Oh, now you’ve had one. Have I got another one? Possibly, as possibly
as we proceed…
00:19:37,460 Some might come out of my colleagues. There’s quite a lot of things
that are Christmas that make me sure to. But not…
00:19:43,460 A back Christmas is generally about things around Christmas. Yeah,
yeah, that’s fair. That is fair.
00:19:49,460 Well, should we have a guest? Should we read one out? Yeah.
00:19:53,460 Would you want to read one out? No, let’s read one out. He’s ourselves
in.
00:19:57,460 We’ve only got one, really, out of one, I think. I’ve got a few
suggestions. Really?
00:20:02,460 Really out, you want to read that first one? Oh, no, no, no, you go. You
find’s in your hand.
00:20:07,460 Go. [blows raspberry] So, our first guest shirtie…
00:20:15,460 Comes from Anne. Yep. From Tombridge.
00:20:19,460 And Anne’s got two, in fact. So, we do the first one. Yep.
00:20:24,460 So, I’ll do a voice. Look, I’m going to leave that up to you. That’s your
call.
00:20:30,460 How many bees you had? [laughter] So, Anne from Tombridge says…
00:20:35,460 [laughter] It’s going to sound like Monty Python, that’s the part. As soon
as I start the voice.
00:20:43,460 But you’ve got now a card. Right, card. Straight out of the fridge.
00:20:48,460 Individual portions of butter. In cafes and restaurants… I was going to
stop the voice now.
00:20:52,460 Yeah, I was enjoying the voice, didn’t I? In cafes and restaurants. So
hard, you can’t actually spread them on your scone
00:20:57,460 or bread without ripping it apart. Unless maybe they think the toast is so
hot, it’ll magically melt it.
00:21:03,460 Yeah. Well… Just take the butter out a little bit early.
00:21:07,460 Well, did it soften? Well, this is why I think… If you can have a scone, or
scone, scone, scone, scone.
00:21:16,460 Right. Because scone is the posh wave saying it. Do you know that?
00:21:22,460 Not scone. Scone sounds posh, but it’s not… Scone’s the posh wave
saying it.
00:21:26,460 Anyway. Or correct. Correct.
00:21:29,460 That’s why if you’re going somewhere, then you want a cup of tea with
a cup and sauce in and you put your butter on the sauce,
00:21:37,460 over your cup of tea, and it melts it slightly before you get going. Put
your sauce on top of your tea.
00:21:44,460 And then put butter on top. I know that is also good. That is also good.
00:21:48,460 But you’ve got to put it bottom of the sauce up. Otherwise, the bottom
of the sauce that’s been on the table is above your tea.
00:21:55,460 Oh, yeah. Right, me, no. Otherwise, I’ve just got to have toast that’s
400 degrees to mount it.
00:22:01,460 Or if you’ve got two slices of toast, put the butter in between it, put the
other slice on top.
00:22:06,460 Do you want the second one? Yeah. Oh, I just said yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
00:22:12,460 People who, in quotes, shut down Christmas, literally box-in-day or
even Christmas evening,
00:22:19,460 packing away the decorations, having a full house clean. Not that it
affects me, but the idea of it does. Visible, I say, particularly when they
announce it on social media.
00:22:27,460 I don’t want to know. Thank you very much. I’m still enjoying Christmas.
00:22:30,460 That’s fair. That is very fair. I don’t like Christmas to start too early
00:22:36,460 and I don’t like it to finish too soon. Or go on for too long. I like
Christmas to be a nice amount of time.
00:22:45,460 A three-week period, is that what you’re very full? Two weeks before?
Probably after?
00:22:49,460 Yeah, probably. That’s probably pretty good. I don’t mind it.
00:22:52,460 I don’t mind seeing the build up beforehand. I just don’t want to get, I
don’t want to peak too early with my Christmas.
00:23:00,460 But I agree. Christmas shouldn’t be, like, shut it down too soon. Yeah.
00:23:06,460 People that pack it away, box-in-day. Yeah, no. I have done that in the
past.
00:23:10,460 Like the previous owner of this shop, you stood up, box-in-day. In fact,
he’d come here sometimes under box-in-day, do a bit of cleaning and
stuff.
00:23:18,460 No. But box-in-day is the best. Box-in-day is the better day.
00:23:23,460 Box-in-day is better than Christmas day. I think. Because you’ve got
none of the…
00:23:30,460 Oh, it’s slightly different in the Walson House, isn’t it? You’ve got none
of the pressure of the food, particularly. Box-in-day is just like Christmas
without the work.
00:23:40,460 That’s what I look at the Box-in-day. I don’t like to leave the house on a
Box-in-day. No, that’s so very lucky.
00:23:47,460 We don’t… Christmas is not any pressure for us or stress. I think I saw
it in joy, so much.
00:23:53,460 Yeah. It’s just a great time. Yeah, I don’t know those.
00:23:56,460 It’s really neat. Christmas day. Christmas day has, over the past few
years, been snacking.
00:24:02,460 Piggy bits. Piggy bits, cheese and biscuits. Piggles.
00:24:05,460 Or leaves. Just… Box-in-day.
00:24:08,460 That’s what we do box-in-day. And then box-in-day, we and our
Christmas dinner. So the idea, the original idea behind it was, we would
devote Christmas day to open in presents,
00:24:16,460 playing games, watching films, winning all that stuff. Yeah. And not
having to jam in a six hour Christmas thing as well.
00:24:24,460 And that’s why I like Box-in-day. For the same reason. That’s why I like
Box-in-day.
00:24:28,460 And then that happens. So Box-in-day, you’ve got the time because it’s
more relaxed. You didn’t just do normal dinner.
00:24:35,460 My child, I just remember, it was getting up, getting a turkey in. He’s…
You’re talking about getting a morning cold.
00:24:42,460 Slanted turkeys. You’re going to take 12 hours to cook, you know. Yeah.
Rashed, rashed, rashed, rashed, rashed, rashed, rashed, rashed,
rashed.
00:24:49,460 That’s what it is. To tidy the house up, Christmas Eve. And tidy the
house up, meant throwing everything in a big box and throwing it in the
attic.
00:24:56,460 Yeah. But, carrying through the house, it was stressed and gone. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:01,460 Gluck it, ready, raw! Yeah. I think I want to do it, if it’s going to be like
this.
00:25:06,460 Ready for a controversial, well, slightly controversial in Harbourn
household. Or, it’s split opinions. So, what we’re doing for Christmas
dinner this year?
00:25:17,460 Big old Christmas Indian takeaway. Nice, nice, nice. So, we’ve got…
00:25:24,460 What, for Christmas Day? For Christmas Day. So, we’re getting it all
Christmas Eve.
00:25:29,460 And then, just, like it all in the oven. Nice for the next day. We have a
takeaway, Christmas Eve.
00:25:36,460 Yeah. Three boys in the box, in day. Well, there’s always that.
00:25:41,460 Should we have a… Listen to one. Yeah.
00:25:53,460 I can read for you out, but we can have a listen to one. Have a listen
to? Yes, we can indeed.
00:25:57,460 Okay. Join me to read out who we’ve got them for. No, just…
00:26:01,460 Do we just pick one? Yes, the guest. Yes, the guest.
00:26:06,460 Who’s the guest going to be? Oh, that was beautiful. You’ve got to do
that every time, now.
00:26:12,460 Hello, it’s Matt Riley here. And what makes me sure to get Christmas is
having to open presents in front of people. Like, it’s bad enough having
to open your presents in front of your own family.
00:26:22,460 The, the build up and the fear, everyone’s watching it. You’ve got to
show the emotion on your face that they want to see. Are you
disappointed?
00:26:31,460 Have you got to do the big… Oh, I really wanted that wicked. And then
introduce having to open presents in front of other people’s family.
00:26:37,460 I think you should get given presents. Everyone goes to a different
room. You can open it.
00:26:41,460 Look at it. Process your emotions about it. All come back in this
Christmas dinner.
00:26:46,460 That would be ideal. But yeah, having to open presents in front of
people. I think that makes everybody sure.
00:26:51,460 Yeah, that would be a bit weird, I wouldn’t it? It would be. Everybody
going off into their own room.
00:26:57,460 So, the presents. But there is… Like, as much of a…
00:27:03,460 When I heard that, I was like, “Oh, yeah, I could relate to that.” But,
because as much as I like showing off and being the sense of attention
when I choose to be, I don’t like it when I’m not.
00:27:16,460 Like a surprise party, I would hate that. And I… I’d never really like it
when it’s my birthday and everybody’s round going all.
00:27:23,460 And, you know, I find it a bit uncomfortable. So that, you know, quite, I’d
like to quietly open my presents while everybody else is getting on my
go-hairs.
00:27:33,460 But like, if you ever do the weight in turn. Right, now it’s your turn to do
one, you have to open one, everybody looks at it and you move on to
the next person.
00:27:41,460 That’s a frantic mess, yeah. What about the presents? Hey!
00:27:46,460 Yeah. It’s the, I like the… Going the room open and processing your
emotions.
00:27:51,460 Before you come out of the game. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, but it’s
really like…
00:27:57,460 Yeah. I mean, getting a present you don’t like is quite tricky, isn’t it? It’s
quite tricky.
00:28:04,460 Or we’ll get onto that maybe a bit later. Tis tricky. Is it…
00:28:08,460 Yeah. Although it’s, I think it’s more tricky when the people aren’t there.
Because when the, if the people are there that are giving you the
present you don’t like,
00:28:18,460 your social cues and everything else tells you how to act. So you got all
those nice things, you’ve got it very much. When that person is not
there,
00:28:25,460 you then feel comfortable in complaining about it. But you get told off
even more of a complainant about it. What’s this shit?
00:28:34,460 Yeah, I don’t want this. Oh, they pulled out of you. You actually, it’s
worse in some ways.
00:28:40,460 You can’t, you think you can be more relaxed. Yeah, completely. You
can.
00:28:44,460 That’s fair. That is fair. Yeah, you were good.
00:28:49,460 Or either if you were good present receiver. Are you quite good at that?
I’m just grateful that anybody’s bought me anything, no matter what it is.
00:28:58,460 Yeah, that’s true. That’s the truth of it. I mean, some things you get, you
think, well, is this it?
00:29:04,460 But at the end of the day, you’ve bought me something. Yeah, that’s
true. Here’s what another one’s to do.
00:29:09,460 Oh, of course. Of course, love clap, wasn’t it? I’m sorry.
00:29:12,460 Do you want to read one now? Oh, can read one now. You read one
now.
00:29:15,460 Well, these are provided by Mrs. Hardman. For his one, crackers that
don’t crack, they were there, they, unless, and she’s putting less, you
know, Tom and Barbara with Margot and Jerry.
00:29:26,460 You remember that? Left side crack. Yeah, crack, crack.
00:29:29,460 So, yeah, crackers that don’t crack, how do we fill about that? That’s
annoying. Isn’t it?
00:29:35,460 But then, you have to get the little bit straight on them. Yeah, but that’s
a little extra joy there because you pulled the cracker and then you’ve
get the whole thing out and sometimes they don’t.
00:29:43,460 Sometimes they don’t. The caps don’t work either. Yeah, now that
works.
00:29:46,460 Whoa! Stereo-on-drunkard. Oh, no, I’m a tad old.
00:29:52,460 Sam Throin, a Pim’s, ten, ten, a little. Yeah, so there’s one, do you want
another? There’s a few.
00:29:57,460 And this, so that one, it’s, yeah, it’s annoying, but you get a little bit of
joy if you can get a double joy. You can get double joy.
00:30:05,460 Hello, it’s Santa Hill. And I’ve been getting lots and lots of letters from
people who don’t know what to do loved ones for Christmas, so I
thought I’d lend a hand with some ideas.
00:30:25,460 Ho, ho, ho. Well, how about popping onto the Hardman and Henning
website at SWWW.hardmanandHenning.co.uk and getting some of their
wonderful socks or maybe a pair of cufflinks or even better why
00:30:44,460 not buy that special person one of their shirt gift vouchers. Then they
can be just like a gastro-migdured shirty punk-hars. With their vouchers,
they can then design their own shirts, pick the croff and details and pop
in
00:31:02,460 a few measures and hate-pristo their very own get-shirty shirt. I do, ho,
ho, ho. Mrs. Claus has got a shirt voucher for me.
00:31:13,460 I have terrible trouble finding things that fit too many mint pies. I hope
that helps. Don’t get too shirty.
00:31:23,460 Merry Christmas! Here’s one which I wholeheartedly agree with, Bad
Rose Potatoes on Christmas Day. Why only Christmas?
00:31:39,460 Because the most disappointing day, Tatham, go wrong. Oh, I see.
Yeah, like a rubbish rose potato.
00:31:44,460 Do we feel the way out of the potatoes? Love ’em. How’d you like your
ass potatoes?
00:31:49,460 Roach, tip? Oh, crispy on the outside. Do you like super smooth ones?
00:31:57,460 Well, I like my roast potatoes the way my wife cooks them. Which is
ideal, isn’t it? I don’t like a smooth roast potato.
00:32:05,460 I think I’ve got to be bubbly and crunchy. Yeah, and have a little crunchy
bits, but you know the ones that were just like perfectly. No, I’ve got to
fluff them up in the sauce.
00:32:12,460 Flaff them up, yeah. Smash them up. Smash them around before you
fry them.
00:32:16,460 So we put them down? I never used to. But in there.
00:32:19,460 Or too oily. Too oily, too greasy. Not good. See my dad?
00:32:26,460 And you can leave this in. My dad doesn’t like roasted raised potatoes.
He likes deep fried raised potatoes.
00:32:34,460 Which are deep fried potatoes. I mean, they are good. But they’re just
like giant round chips.
00:32:40,460 Does he do the same thing? Does he? He’d fluff them up before putting
them in there.
00:32:45,460 Oh, I don’t think he’s ever cooked them. But that’s how he likes them
cooked. So bad raised potatoes.
00:32:55,460 A disappointing raised potato. It’s the worst. If you raise potatoes a bad.
00:32:59,460 But it’s that’s worse, that’s rather than. Yeah, the worst day to have a
bad raised potato, isn’t it? Yeah.
00:33:06,460 Respect for Christmas dinner. Or is a tricky one. Oh, raised potatoes.
00:33:10,460 That’s a… What does it really have in me? Because…
00:33:14,460 Like the meat is great. I look like a love roast beef. I mean, the honey
glaze carrots always good.
00:33:20,460 Or the roasted pastings. I do like a sprout. A sprout?
00:33:23,460 A sprout. A sprout. A sprout.
00:33:26,460 A sprout. I don’t know what that is. I sort of shredded up and roasted
and mixed in with lots of other bits and pieces.
00:33:37,460 A bit of onions, a little bit of bacon, cream, some way, as you can see.
But it’s just to keep a few. Oh yeah, a few to the side because Harry
likes them.
00:33:49,460 Plain. Sorry, like little cabbages. Yeah, that’s all there.
00:33:52,460 Apparently you shouldn’t… People you say put little cross in them. I see
them in me, so you shouldn’t do that.
00:33:58,460 Yeah, so if someone said right for your Christmas dinner, you can’t have
roast… You’ve either got to have roast potatoes or honey roast carrots.
Honey glaze carrots, which one would you go?
00:34:08,460 Oh, I’ll go for those in. Ooh. Or pastings.
00:34:12,460 See, I love the pastings. Well, it’s only have pastings and Christmas.
You can only have one of those three, which one would you guys trick
you on?
00:34:19,460 I’d go past them because I’d get the roast potatoes at the time. Other
times, yeah. Tend to only have the roasts and pastings for Christmas.
00:34:27,460 Yeah, generally. Not always, but definitely. Well, then you could have a
potato.
00:34:32,460 I’d keep the potato. I’d keep the potato. We said some friends.
00:34:37,460 We said some friends. We said some friends that had three different
types of potato on Christmas day. They used to have roast potatoes, oil
potatoes and mashed potatoes.
00:34:46,460 I dropped them a little bit too much on the potato front, I would say. I’ve
had mashed, roast and doffin oil all at the same meal. No, too much.
00:34:56,460 It was a lot of potato. I did candid yams one year. No.
00:35:01,460 Which was very nice. Not on the synth. I’d only do those because they
had them in castaway.
00:35:07,460 So, he’s Christmas dinner before he flies off. And he did. And he said,
“Oh, look at those candid yams.
00:35:17,460 They’re so lovely.” Oh, they did look nice. All right.
00:35:21,460 So what were they made those? And they were nice. This is like a
marshmallow topped roast.
00:35:27,460 You did not marshmallow. Yeah, that’s what makes him candid. Oh, no,
that’s what makes him candid.
00:35:32,460 That’s what makes him candid. They have a grilled marshmallow on
top. Proper nice.
00:35:37,460 However, I did do a bit too big a dish on it. Guest, the guest, the guest,
the guest, who’s the guest going to be? Hello.
00:35:48,460 I’ve been asked to tell you what makes me hot under the Colour at
Christmas. Oh, it’s Nigel Betts, by the way. Well, I’ve thought long and
hard and I’m afraid I can’t find anything at all.
00:36:00,460 I’m one of those people that rather likes Christmas, Christmas trees, the
presents underneath. Turkey, mince pies, I’ve even been known to sing
the odd Carol. So I was a bit stuck until I remembered my absolutely
deplore New Year’s Eve being stuck
00:36:19,100 in a room full of total strangers, being made to be jolly and wish them all
a happy new year. I think I’ve become a commotion.
00:36:29,580 My idea of a good new year is sitting in front of an open fire with a large
glass of whiskey. And thinking what might happen in the year ahead. So
here’s hoping you all thrive in 25.
00:36:45,060 Oh, I’m not that keen on Christmas specials of Gogglebox, but that’s
just me. When you asked them to do this, did you say can you please
do it in your most sexy voice? I specifically said sexy Christmas voices.
00:37:00,060 It was very factory, wasn’t it? Hello. It’s Nigel Betzius. I’m bloody sexy.
Which he is? Very sexy man.
00:37:14,260 Yeah, look New Year’s Eve. It’s a tough one. He is a tough one.
00:37:20,660 I’m with Nigel, one that. I used to love gun out New Year’s Eve, but I
hated the weight of expectation. It’s got to be the best night ever.
Otherwise it’s a crap New Year’s Eve.
00:37:32,260 I know I’ve had some shockers. So yeah, now I would rather be at
home. It’s a good look back and think, why, why did we do that?
00:37:42,660 Why did it go out every New Year’s Eve to Trago Square? We’ll do that
whole thing. I don’t know why I did it.
00:37:49,060 And this was the days before they closed it off. Where is that collective
group of outpouring of happiness, I suppose, isn’t it? It’s a weird thing to
celebrate anyway.
00:38:00,260 It is. It’s just pulled in back. Incredible, most of the New Year. Well, like
the next day, something’s going to change.
00:38:08,260 Still no other words, world-class design. Yeah, I see. I think I stopped
going out on New Year’s Eve just as that buying a ticket for New Year’s
Eve. For pubs, I mean, I remember thinking, what, paid?
00:38:23,260 I remember thinking, what? It’s a paid. Yeah. It used to be nice when
you could do a proper pub call on New Year’s Eve, I suppose.
00:38:31,260 But I don’t know. I thought we were getting that drunk now. I like
working in pubs New Year’s Eve. Working in it better than being in it.
00:38:39,260 Is it? Yeah. Getting in on it. New Year’s Eve is good as well.
00:38:44,260 Yeah, I like when it’s done at once, I think. New Year’s Eve. Yeah, with
Nigel on the…
00:38:52,260 Yeah, me too. All in favour of Nigel’s stay at home? Yeah.
00:38:57,260 Yeah. I do enjoy New Year’s Eve at home in the family. Yeah.
00:39:02,260 Because if the family can’t make it around the Christmas Eve, generally
can make it around for New Year. Right. If they’re away for Christmas,
they’ll come for New Year’s.
00:39:09,260 That’s nice. Yeah. More people.
00:39:12,260 More people. Yes, the guest, guest, the guest, who’s the guest gonna
be? Hi, it’s Stuart, Stu Tew and Sam.
00:39:21,260 Merry Christmas. It’s Tom Caradine here. Check it out to think of what
gets me sure to get Christmas. Because actually I quite enjoy
Christmas.
00:39:27,260 I love all the sparkle. I love the festive feelings. But I think for me, the
most disappointing thing, they really get to be sure to eat our crackers.
00:39:35,260 I hope you’ll agree with me. The hats are never big enough. They
always fall off. The jokes are terrible.
00:39:40,260 And I don’t think they’ve changed them in the last 20 years. And to be
honest, I just can’t remember the last time I needed to use a plastic golf
tee. They look so promising on the table.
00:39:49,260 But, uh, oh to me, what are they? They’re just a cardboard chuba
disappointment. I hope you guys have a great Christmas and I’ll see
you soon.
00:39:56,260 That is. I will. It’s a good crack for that.
00:39:59,260 Forever. But I do like crackers. I do like crackers, but he is right.
00:40:03,260 I like. There’s something. A look fabulous.
00:40:06,260 Yeah. But there’s nothing in them. I like it when…
00:40:10,260 When someone’s been generous and brought you super posh crackers.
Have you ever been brought super posh crackers? And they’ve got like
a silver bookmark.
00:40:18,260 I don’t like it. I don’t know. Oh, yeah, bloody woo, you know.
00:40:21,260 Part of the charts, I’m just a crappin’ this. The get-the get-shirty was
people not wearing Christmas hats. When you pulled the cracker and
it’s like, oh no, I’m not wearing one of them.
00:40:29,260 Oh yeah, they’re minimal people. Yeah. Which we’ve got.
00:40:32,260 More massive head. And they don’t fit. Yeah, now you see, just put a
little tear in them.
00:40:36,260 Well, it’s… Tom saying that they… They never fit.
00:40:40,260 They’re always too big. They come down over my ears. Yes, for normal
humans, they are.
00:40:44,260 For Sam and my wife and my son. And Tom. They’re in a pit.
00:40:48,260 Too small. No, he says too big to see. He said too small, didn’t he?
00:40:51,260 No, he said too small. No, he said too small. Oh, it’s…
00:40:54,260 They fall off a little bit. No, I think so too small. He says they never big
enough.
00:40:58,260 Oh, I really want it back. Never big enough. They were full off.
00:41:01,260 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. Oh, I thought…
00:41:04,260 I thought… Oh, I thought… Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:41:07,260 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s incredible. Oh, I thought…
00:41:10,260 I thought he was saying… Yeah. So that’s…
00:41:13,260 That’s the same for you. Yeah, for big enough. Yeah, that’s big enough.
00:41:16,260 Yeah. So we were saying too small. Yeah, we weren’t right.
00:41:19,260 Yeah. Yeah, another right. But, yeah, for me, they come right there.
00:41:23,260 They like full… Yeah, it’s because we’ve got new… I have normal human
size heads.
00:41:26,260 But folding them… Yeah. To stop them falling down.
00:41:29,260 Well, it’s not that big hat. We’re there, because right down to my
shoulders. Yeah.
00:41:34,260 Just purges like George Dawes on the top of Sam’s head. That’s the
same. No, Christmas hats.
00:41:38,260 How do they hurt your ears as well after… Paper cut in there. Yeah.
00:41:43,260 Actually, are they really paper cut ears? I like to be in the size of your
ears. You leave my meat sales alone, thank you.
00:41:48,260 Or is there a previously known as meat flaps? So, yeah, Christmas
hats, cardboard, chews, and disappointment. I like the cheapness and
the fun of them sometimes.
00:42:02,260 Okay. But he’s right. And did anybody put a golf tee in a credit card?
00:42:06,260 I like the little… On the count of three, I think we should all at the same
time say what the best cracker present gift is inside a cracker.
00:42:16,260 Wait, wait, wait, wait! Yeah, I have a thing. Oh, wait, I’ve got a few.
00:42:21,260 Well, you know, go further. I mean, there’s one that I would fight people
for every time. Every time.
00:42:29,260 Every time. It’s the best it is. And if you go between you then leave me
out of this one for sure.
00:42:38,260 On the count of three. Do you want me to go from three to one? Oh, I
don’t mind.
00:42:42,260 It’s a surprise. No, I’ll give it a try. Three, two, one.
00:42:45,260 Hanging ten and fish. Yeah! Is the best Christmas present?
00:42:49,260 Yeah! It is, isn’t it? I just…
00:42:52,260 What does that mean? I mean, you’re heart-blooded. It is, isn’t it?
00:43:01,260 I mean, you’re heart-blooded. A little red fortune telling fish, isn’t it?
Always.
00:43:05,260 Do you think that’s the 70’s thing? Yeah, exactly. I like that.
00:43:08,260 And I also like the Japanese metal puzzle. Puzzles, that’s the number
two. Oh, the little basketball.
00:43:15,260 Yeah, that’s the right thing. We’ll stick it in here. No, the flicky one.
00:43:18,260 You get a start. Oh, yeah, you have to build. Yeah, that is pretty good
too.
00:43:22,260 Yeah, but always the fortune telling fish. Yeah. See you soon.
00:43:28,260 See you soon. See you soon. See you soon.
00:43:31,260 See you soon. See you soon. See you soon.
00:43:34,260 See you soon. The following is an announcement on behalf of a certain

guest, the guest, proves the guest gonna be…
00:44:43,260 Hello, it’s Mike Fenton Stevens here from the podcast My Time
Capture. And, well, I think that makes me Shirty. I think it’s the opposite.
00:44:53,260 I think that makes a lot of other people Shirty. For me, you see, I get
annoyed when people say, “Oh, it’s too early. You can’t put your
decorations up yet.
00:45:01,260 We don’t want all those lights and all those Christmas songs. I
personally could have it going on from about September. I’d be
perfectly happy to sing along every time I hear a Christmas song.
00:45:14,260 I walk around most of the time singing or humming to myself. For most
of, well, November, December, a bit of October, well, I’ll go back until
the summer, really.
00:45:29,260 I’m quite happy to do it round a pool. Yep, that and of the weather
outside is frightful. Every time we get a little bit of rain or cold or
anything, I’m off.
00:45:39,260 Oh, the fire is so delightful, but since we know place to go, let it snow,
let it snow, let it snow, or I don’t like snow actually, but I’m happy to sing
that song.
00:45:51,260 Some Christmas songs I find a bit annoying, they get on my nerves. I
just had quite an understanding why the lyrics, why you should go
wandering in a winter wonderland,
00:46:02,260 and then we build a snowman and then allow them to marry you as
pass and brown. That one doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me.
Still, I’m perfectly happy with everyone else.
00:46:14,260 I love all those Christmas songs and carols, and I’m really looking
forward to Christmas. So, yeah, I think I’ll get very sure to hear about
Christmas at all.
00:46:24,260 Let’s do it, right? I’ve got to go and do a show. See you later, bye.
00:46:30,260 So, there you go. That was my get-shurty. Yeah, it was, yeah, you were
saying.
00:46:36,260 Yeah. I’ve already given my view. I like, there’s a perfect length for me.
00:46:42,260 I like, I don’t want to start in. What? I don’t like it starting too early, I
suppose,
00:46:49,260 but I don’t sort of mind, I just don’t want to, I don’t like forced Christmas.
I don’t like being told that I should be getting on with Christmas.
00:46:58,260 Yeah, well, I should be able to just start when you want to. Yeah,
exactly. And then I don’t like the forced anti-Christmas.
00:47:04,260 Yeah, it’s like, you know, it’s become a thing each year now where you
get the nody-hold of thing. No!
00:47:11,260 Nody says not yet, all those sorts of things. It’s become cool to hate
Christmas starting too early and all that shit. Just don’t be so miserable.
00:47:19,260 If people want to enjoy it, then let me get on with it. Yeah, I’m gonna
affect you.
00:47:25,260 Yeah, you get aggressively. Yeah. Oh, too early for Christmas.
00:47:30,260 Yeah, like, you can complain about shops, don’t they? Bloody shops,
credit october. Well, I’ll tell you what, mate, you’re gonna work in retail.
00:47:36,260 Yeah. And see if you can change the retail world and tell them to start
giving up for Christmas on December the second.
00:47:42,260 You know. See how much money they make? Yeah, that’s it.
00:47:46,260 That shit, isn’t it? So, yeah, that sort of real, that sort of, there seems to
be last few years a building of anti-Christmas.
00:47:53,260 How much fun, you know the meme? Yeah, I’m with mine. It’s fair.
00:47:57,260 Yeah, you see. I think just start Christmas when you want to start
Christmas. It’s just, hey, it’s just, it’s a nice time of year when people
can just be nice for a change.
00:48:06,260 Yeah. Yeah, great. You should start early.
00:48:09,260 You should be in the year, man. Yeah. I think.
00:48:13,260 Yeah, but you keep the lights in trees and stuff, but you have one like
the highest. Yeah. I like all the…
00:48:19,260 The twinkle. It’s a winter. Yeah, it’s sort of making less Christmas, you
know, as well, isn’t it?
00:48:23,260 Yeah. But keep the twinkle, wouldn’t it? Yeah, maybe.
00:48:26,260 It doesn’t, what I worry though is that when Christmas comes around, it
wouldn’t feel special. You wouldn’t go, “Oh, look, it’s normal as
Christmas. The lights are coming up.”
00:48:35,260 You’ve got a bit of dark otherwise light and shade, isn’t it? Mm-hmm. I
mean, it’s three months.
00:48:42,260 Yeah, really, isn’t it? Yeah, it is, yeah. Because as soon as it’s just
getting to turn around, you know, it falls off very quickly.
00:48:50,260 Yeah, the first week in January. Which is fair enough, I can sort of
understand why. I’m not one for hanging on to Christmas after
Christmas, but I do quite like starting early, as you know.
00:49:02,260 Get my first Christmas dinner in as early as I can. Yeah, you do. You
know that for Christmas dinner with the family, the first Christmas dinner
had up in…
00:49:10,260 Barrett, no. But it was a Barrett? No, Hastings.
00:49:13,260 Down in Hastings. And… I only…
00:49:16,260 Only ones with a whole pub out in Christmas. We’ll have our hats on.
Nice.
00:49:20,260 Oh, he’s got one. And it was packed. And it was full out.
00:49:23,260 Clearly with the name of everyone with Christmas dinner. But that
was… In fact, that was the first day they started Christmas dinner.
00:49:28,260 All right. And that was… And what was that?
00:49:31,260 End of November, didn’t it? Yeah. That’s nice.
00:49:34,260 The guest’s been in the spirit. Straight into it. Yeah, so might’ve been
the Stevens.
00:49:38,260 Well done, sir. I’m with the Queen. We approve.
00:49:41,260 We approve. Next week. Stop being so miserable, back Christmas
people.
00:49:45,260 Yes, the guest, guest, the guest, who’s the guest? Gonna be… Shit
Christmas presents.
00:49:52,260 I’ve had enough. I’m 55 next week and I’ve had enough. And last
Christmas.
00:49:59,260 I put my foot down and I just announced that I’ve had enough of shit
Christmas presents. And these are namely novelty shirts and jumpers
that I’m never going to wear. Any item of clothing that anyone chooses
for me is not gonna work.
00:50:19,260 It’s got to be my choice. And even as last Christmas proved, I had… I
needed a new luggage carrier, you know, on wheels.
00:50:35,260 My girlfriend bought me one and it was disgusting. The colour was
disgusting. And I had that whole moment of knowing what it was, taking
the wrapping paper off and then doing the fake smile.
00:50:48,260 And I couldn’t hold it back anymore and I just said this is all for them.
And it just changed years. And then this led on to hard conversation
though.
00:50:56,260 I don’t want any shit more Christmas presents. Which is mainly items of
clothing. I get to choose my clothes, I don’t have people.
00:51:05,260 So I was saying it caused a bit of an issue. I don’t know if I was very
happy. But it’s about to clean this late this year.
00:51:13,260 I’m confident I’m going to get some good Christmas presents. Guy
Lloyd there giving us this Christmas shirtie. I mean that was a balsy
move.
00:51:22,260 Yeah. Christmas day. I mean look, I respect it actually.
00:51:27,260 I respect that sort of lane you stole out and saying look. You were…
Stooler, not stooler.
00:51:37,260 Dirty girl. You stole. ST-A-L-L.
00:51:44,260 Stooler. I think it’s a little matter of… No, it’s usually…
00:51:49,260 I’ve always taken it to mean like your marketplace stalled. They stalled
out. It’s all good.
00:51:54,260 You didn’t put your stalled out. No, yeah, I thought you were laying out.
Probably a wee bit of pieces.
00:51:59,260 That’s my mouth sense. So like I’m all for that. Yeah.
00:52:04,260 Say it, Christmas day in front of people. [laughs] That was big cajonas.
00:52:12,260 I had some friends in quite many many years ago. I’ve seen a grown-up
time. We had a competition each year,
00:52:18,260 Super by the crappiest present for each one. Nice. What was your
favourite crapp present?
00:52:24,260 Well they bought me… Did they buy it for me? I did a bike for the time.
00:52:28,260 It would have knitted toilet roll covers for one of those one. Oh, yeah.
There’s so many bad things.
00:52:35,260 I can’t remember. So there’s like little things you buy down at the
seaside made of shells. Yeah.
00:52:41,260 Perfect. Goggles eyes and things stuck on. Perfect.
00:52:45,260 But I’m a little bit not necessarily wholeheartedly agreeing with Guy on
that. Oh, that’s alright. Because it’s quite subjective, isn’t it?
00:52:54,260 Yeah. But that doesn’t sound like a shit Christmas present. A mustard
coloured suitcase on wheels.
00:53:02,260 Sounds like a good present, but they got the colour wrong. Yes. Yeah.
00:53:07,260 So it was a bit harsh. Was he saying that that present… He says, “I’m
going to have to return it.”
00:53:14,260 I’ll have to return, you know, because he didn’t like the colour. Yeah. So
I’ll suppose in that case he said, “I like the present.
00:53:20,260 I just don’t like what it is.” Just felt a bit harsh. Yeah.
00:53:25,260 But yeah, yeah. And as you said, as you said, I’m a Christmas day,
brave, but I seem quite… Yeah.
00:53:33,260 Quite a brave thing to do for something just for the colour. I don’t know.
Yeah.
00:53:39,260 But I suppose… I don’t know. But I understand what he means
because, you know, I suppose things like that define you a little bit.
00:53:49,260 I don’t know. And if you don’t like a mustard coloured something… Well,
my kid did a 70, so he said, “I lost it.”
00:53:55,260 I must have brains, weird greens, all of those. Yeah. I’ve got a mustard
cardigan on it, so…
00:54:02,260 Regularly mocked. Is it? Yeah.
00:54:05,260 It’s one I wear, but used to wear when I’m ill. Yeah. It’s been my get-well
cardigan.
00:54:09,260 But now we’re at all the time. The big Colman’s embroidery on the back
probably. Yeah, a bit shit with a cow.
00:54:16,260 No, it’s a bull, isn’t it? A bull? Yeah, bull.
00:54:19,260 But I like it then. Yeah, good. Yeah, so lay your stool out.
00:54:23,260 How do we feel about that? Yeah, I think… No, the phrase, like, should
we all do that, so look…
00:54:28,260 I think… Yeah, I think it’s got the right idea. I just…
00:54:32,260 If that’s the right situation, I mean, you know, you’ve been banished
here. I’ve not drawn to chosen to do… Do they like that?
00:54:39,260 No. No. No, I just…
00:54:42,260 But the honesty thing… Pound to a certain degree with that. Yeah,
definitely.
00:54:45,260 Early on in the relationship. Yeah, good. Oh, I agree.
00:54:48,260 It’s again. It’s Christmas. Here we go.
00:54:52,260 Another previous guest. &jGuess the guest. &j &jGuess the guest. &j

00:55:02,260 Hello, it’s Alex Beat here, and my Christmas Get Shirtie is… …Rubbish
Centres. I think if you’re still in a family that believe…
00:55:09,260 …it’s quite hard to explain away a million polyester centers in shopping
centers… …and says it is coming. I just think…
00:55:19,260 …have the real… …have the real authentic ones… …do away with
Roger with his team you beard.
00:55:25,260 Let’s just keep it a little bit… …the standards a bit higher, I think,
because otherwise… …we’re on shaky ground.
00:55:33,260 Yeah, that’s my Christmas Get Shirtie. Merry Christmas, everyone. Very
good.
00:55:40,260 Yeah. – Very good. – Yeah. – Good. – Shit centers. – Shit centers. – I was
Santa once. – Where are you?
00:55:47,260 You do believe it? No, it’s hard to believe. – It’s a miserable one. – Same
said friends…
00:55:53,260 …with the shitty Christmas presents each year. …Thrusty upon me, my
name, didn’t say it. Oh, can you be Santa next week?
00:56:03,260 What? Yeah, I’ve got the outfit. Nice.
00:56:07,260 So where was this school or something? – No children. – Oh, okay.
She’s German, so if you know, they sort of…
00:56:15,260 …crisps were slightly different way… …they have most of their presents,
Christmas Eve. They’re Santa.
00:56:20,260 Now I knew they’re doing quite well. I don’t know how to do them make
up an everything. That’s just the whole…
00:56:26,260 …who, who, who. And she said to this day, she still doesn’t know you. –
Oh, really? – Nice.
00:56:32,260 I’ll give her that pressure. The…never now, I’ll get the anxiety of that.
Yeah.
00:56:40,260 I couldn’t say no. I should’ve just said, “Anybody ask me now.” I’d say,
“No, go away.”
00:56:44,260 – Yeah. – Not being Santa. But I did it for the time. I remember the thing,
I was…
00:56:48,260 The anxiety leading up to try and play Santa. And not… …and then not
to find out he was…
00:56:53,260 – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – …who actually lived… – …everything. – …I’m the
road, you know. Yeah, that is a tricky…
00:56:59,260 – She’s got a nice beat. – She’s gonna know. – They’re not better than
us. – Everybody’s gonna know. – They’re gonna know. – They’re not
gonna know.
00:57:05,260 So, yeah, shit, Sanders. I agree. – Yeah. – It’s too easy to put on a team
who bid and go, “I’m Santa.” Well, though, at first, I thought she said,
00:57:13,260 “With his e-m-u.” – An e-m-u bid. – Yeah. Yeah, so, I’m…
00:57:19,260 Yeah, I agree. And if you’re a professional father, Christmas, I bet you
feel annoyed at those cheap father, Christmas.
00:57:25,260 – …propa pissed off off of it. – Yeah, if you’re… …if you’re a professional
one. But, like, the thing is, though,
00:57:31,260 there is no Santa regulation, is there? There might be. – Wow, no, it is
there. I’m not interested in… – There might be.
00:57:39,260 …because, like, it’s a lot of the… – …conferences of… – Yeah, yeah.
…santa.
00:57:44,260 I’d rather than wear this. I have a conference. You shouldn’t be allowed
to be a santa unless you’re in the union. – Yeah, of course. – …when you
can be a member of the…
00:57:52,260 I’m sure there’s a Santa Claus thing, but they all professional centers in
it. Not the magic circle, the Arctic circle.
00:57:59,260 – …whoa, that’s good. – Yeah. Unless I’m just… …making that out from
something I’ve seen on the…
00:58:06,260 – …each professional Santa Claus association. – Yeah, you can. – …in
the organisation. – Nice. Surely Santa has got to be the acronym for
that.
00:58:13,260 Somehow, they’ve worked. – It’s got to be… – Yeah. …see the Santa
Claus and Nativity Training…
00:58:20,260 …all association. – …association, yeah, that’s pretty good. – …it’s an
international brotherhood of real beard centers. – How about you?
00:58:28,260 – …and they’ve lost their… – They’ve missed a trick there. – …dur, dur,
dur, dur, dur. It’s fantastic. International beard.
00:58:35,260 – I hate the RTO. – …it’s a real beard. – …inwards it. – …the International
Brotherhood. – I-B-R-S-B. No, I…
00:58:43,260 – …c-M-R-I-B-R-B-S. – …in the international Brotherhood. – …in the real
bearded centers. – …in the real bearded centers. – …in the real bearded
centers.
00:58:52,260 – …as they grow their own beard. – …so they grow their own proper
bearded centers. – …that sounds a little bit like… – …colty. – …fairs,
otters, balls, and international Brotherhood of bearded centers.
00:59:06,260 – …dur, yeah. – …that’s got a little bit of… – …yes, if you’re a proper
center, you’re looking all those polyester centers going, – …what you do
with it, yeah, yeah. – …yeah.
00:59:18,260 – …do I have enough to do it, like, you know, when the kids were little, –
…I was like, ‘oh, no, I’ve done the ass from there.’ – …I got a co-work
conduct and everything. – …and there’s a special… – …where you were
at, I was at, no touching.
00:59:29,260 – …no touching. – …yeah, I didn’t, you know, regulation of how they
look, – …and that sort of stuff. – …the bearded. – …all that sort of stuff,
you know, there. – …the brightening of the brand.
00:59:38,260 – …the brightening of the brand. – …and number two, her. – …and
number three. – …her. – …yeah, but I agreed. These have all been…
00:59:48,260 – …previous, our wonderful guests are coming out of some coolkers,
actually. – …yep. – …don’t you think? – …yeah, yeah. – …there’s…yeah,
it’s a bee one that I’ve thought, no, that’s…
00:59:57,260 – …why off-kilter. – …no. – …hey! – …hey! – …I think it’s time for another…
01:00:03,260 – …previous guests, Christmas Get Shirti. – …what’s your name? –
…yeah, baby. – …yeah, baby. – …guest, the guest, guest, the guest,
who’s a guest gonna be.
01:00:14,260 – …hey, Stuart and the team from Get Shirti, it’s Tony Rod here. –
…hope you’re all very well. – …um, you were asking what winds me up
at Christmas.
01:00:22,260 – …and honestly, it’s music. – …uh, I love Christmas songs. I really do,
although I’m not a massive fan of them being played for an entire month
when I go shopping. – …but specifically, it’s Michael Bubley.
01:00:34,260 – …he gets dragged out every year for a month to sing Christmas
songs. – …and I think it’s the worst kind of jazz. – …I love jazz, and it’s
been called once, that kind of music that’s only really loved by
middle-aged white men with no taste.
01:00:49,260 – …but I think it’s moved on quite a lot, and I think what Michael Bubley
does is, is durge. – …it’s the worst kind of jazz. – …it’s a Frank Sinatra
knockoff, and really, I just, I’m not a fan of it.
01:01:01,260 – …um, I know that, you know, women, um, love it. – …uh, I know that
some young people love it. – …but, honestly, yeah, I’m sorry.
01:01:10,260 – …that’s the thing that winds me up, Michael Bubley, um, he should be
on the center, nor should he be. – …hope you all have a great
Christmas. – …and, uh, I look forward to, uh, hearing the podcast.
01:01:20,260 – Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony. – …I think that one’s going to be
controversial. – …yeah.
01:01:26,260 – …to speaking as a woman. – …yeah. – …I’m not a big fan of the
Bubley.
01:01:30,260 – …you’re not a big fan of the Bubley. – …no. – …what, like, music wise
orbs.
01:01:35,260 – …why? – …otherwise. – …all right.
01:01:38,260 – …uh, look. – …yeah. – …controversial indeed.
01:01:41,260 – …I think so. – …is attacking jazz and Bubley. – …yeah.
01:01:46,260 – …but he’s saying he loves jazz, but not that jazz. – …yeah. – …is he a
jazz gay keeper?
01:01:52,260 – …dope. – …you have to get your back in and talk about it. – …yeah.
01:01:57,260 – …so, like, I don’t mind the Christmas Bubley. – …not that I think he’s all
right. – …I think he’s all right.
01:02:03,260 – …and I think I’m with a crew now. – …like a crew now. – …I’m a
Christmas.
01:02:07,260 – …you know, I was surprised actually when they were talking on, uh, –
…the rest of the entertainment about the top Christmas songs. – …yeah.
01:02:13,260 – …they were sort of saying that it’s sort of a double, you know, – …fifty
cuff fight between Mariah Carey and… – …and WAM.
01:02:21,260 – …and WAM. – …lots of Christmas. – …it, Bubley wasn’t mentioned at
all.
01:02:25,260 – …I thought he’s got to be out there. – …he’s dropped off something
like… – …for his album in New York with his dropped off as well.
01:02:29,260 – …yeah. – …yeah, yeah, yeah. – …so, the Bubley.
01:02:32,260 – …look, I sort of get it and I understand it, but… – …I think it’s going to
be a controversial one, that. – …I think he’s beloved.
01:02:41,260 – …like a little… – …like a little… – …he’s a modern day binkers, but
you’re a modern day Frank Snartj.
01:02:45,260 – …I don’t know. – …I think we’ll call him a Frank Snartj and knock off is
a little bit harsh. – …because he’s just another Tony Bennett or
another…
01:02:52,260 – …yeah. – …he’s not trying to do an impression of Frank Snartj. –
…when he first came out, I thought, “Oh, you’re trying to feel…
01:02:57,260 – …Harry Connick Jr.’s shoes is what I thought. – …because he was
piano, wasn’t he? – …Beebley don’t do the piano.
01:03:03,260 – …he’s more of a crony, more of a Tony Bennett, isn’t he? – …like, so,
Dave, one billion plays that Bubley track. – …he got a little Spotify, I
think.
01:03:12,260 – …and actually this is something Tony will probably approve of, –
…because he got the award and he was like, “Oh my God, really? –
…that’s so amazing.
01:03:18,260 – “Oh, one billion plays on Spotify, that. – …I’ve earned $23.” – …which
made me like…
01:03:24,260 – …so, yeah. – …Best Christmas song. – …let’s check it out then.
01:03:30,260 – …Well, Paul McCartney is one of my favorites. – …it’s my own. – …it’s
my own favorite.
01:03:36,260 – …it’s my favorite. – …it’s my absolute favorite. – …when that kicks off, it
sort of feels quite crispy.
01:03:41,260 – …but there are lots of good ones. – …froxxong is that Christmasy or
not? – …no.
01:03:46,260 – …but McCartney is froxxing me. – …it was released in Christmas,
wasn’t it? – …no.
01:03:51,260 – …yeah. – …bred of Lee rocking around the Christmas tree, –
…someone’s always been good all the years.
01:03:56,260 – …like, the comeback, what’s the big thing? – …great fact about that,
they said the other day, – …which you’d already said actually.
01:04:00,260 – …never been number one. – …oh no. – …oh, did she just 13?
01:04:03,260 – …you’re saying? – …my God. – …oh no.
01:04:06,260 – …the voice of a 13, wouldn’t it? – …so that’s a area, so you can believe
it. – …yeah, it’s quite cool.
01:04:12,260 – …the best Christmas song. – …but… – …slide, you can’t go far wrong
with slides.
01:04:17,260 – …wizard. – …coward. – …wizard, yeah.
01:04:20,260 – …yeah. – …yeah, oh good. – …one of my climb defines Metroywood.
01:04:24,260 – …did you? – …in Tamadryl, yeah. – …he was doing a Christmas gig at
Assemblyl.
01:04:28,260 – …did he look like a wizard? – …he was in almost the full garden of this
half-colored hair. – …yeah, yeah.
01:04:34,260 – …but bumped into him coming out the guinea-butt. – …and he stopped
me and said, “Sorry, I won’t do the accent.” – …and offend everybody.
01:04:41,260 – …he was like, “I’m late, I’m drunk, I’m meant to be on stage, I don’t
know how to get back to the Assemblyl.” – …I was like, “Alright, I had to
do it.” – …I was too far from it then.
01:04:51,260 – …now he was just around the corner, but he didn’t really know, he had
no concept really, very worth it. – …well, to stay on the jazz theme, I’ve
got to get sure to hear from Jeff Wilkinson. – …have you rubbed out?
01:05:04,260 – …previous guest of Rumi. – …very much of Jazzo. – …we should put it
to him, so he thinks about that one.
01:05:12,260 – …yeah, I imagine. – …my gut feel is he degree with Tony. – …we
reckon.
01:05:17,260 – …yeah, at least Blue Note. – …but he knows how to play. – …class of
Jazzo.
01:05:20,260 – …I can’t see him doing a hip hop jazz function. – …fush. – …how did
he…
01:05:27,260 – …how did he… – …woolplay house? – …yeah, he did.
01:05:31,260 – …but he was quite good, actually. – …yeah, yeah, it was good, but I
can’t see Jeff rolling out the beat right now. – …there was a Spongebob,
he’s in it.
01:05:39,260 – …heist you? – …I quite like Christmas. – …I was going to say it’s
annoying that retailers start selling Christmas goods so early these
days.
01:05:46,260 – …but I’d like to be able to buy a mincep pie on September this year. –
…cold on nose. – …freck it.
01:05:52,260 – …equal smiley face. – …in ASCII code. – …if you could do the rest of
that messaging code.
01:06:00,260 – …it’s always a bit annoying, not having any public transport on
Christmas day. – …I always end up spending a small fortune on ubers
ferrying relatives around. – …I would definitely like to see that change.
01:06:17,260 – …I hope you guys are well. – …merry Christmas. – …a little addendum
to this.
01:06:23,260 – …I’ve landed my own 2 hour radio show on Jaz-Fm. – …yeah. – …just
a one off, but hopefully we’re developing something more regular.
01:06:32,260 – …I’m on Friday the 27th of December from 9 to 11. – …I’ll give that a
listen. – …check it out.
01:06:40,260 – …merry Christmas. – …americrism is huge. – …merry Christmas.
01:06:43,260 – …merry Christmas. – …so really that’s a gift share of Christmas travel.
– …or sorting out other people’s Christmas travel.
01:06:51,260 – …no public transport so you’ve got to pay for ubers. – …although does
public transport not run? – …Christmas day I think is the only day.
01:06:59,260 – …don’t be hardly runs. – …one of the only days. – …very, very recently
there.
01:07:04,260 – …definitely, don’t think the underground runs are tall Christmas day. –
…think so. – …think it’s the only day.
01:07:09,260 – …go on googley googley go on. – …do it and do it. – …think it’s the only
day.
01:07:13,260 – …one of the only days. – …obviously, the only day. – …yeah.
01:07:16,260 – …so yeah, I like that. – …do you know, actually sorting out travel
arrangements – …full stop for Christmas.
01:07:23,260 – …who’s going where, where you go, what time you go. – …if you got to
get to on what day. – …you know, the underground.
01:07:30,260 – …no, the London Underground does not run on Christmas day. – …oh.
– …yeah, so traveling on Christmas day.
01:07:38,260 – …I don’t know how hard they agree that. – …yeah, try to avoid it. –
…yeah, not just like it.
01:07:43,260 – …well that’s so, yeah, Jeff, good. – …ok, jazz FM, even better. –
…that’s…
01:07:49,260 – …that’s very cool. – …yeah. – …very cool.
01:07:53,260 – …all much Jeff FM. – …oh. – …all right.
01:07:56,260 – …trials. – …yeah. – …you could do Jeff FM, couldn’t they?
01:08:01,260 – …oh, that’s how I’ve found that. – …I’ll say Jeff FM. – …Jeff FM.
01:08:04,260 - ...we’ve got one more. - &j Guess the guest, guess the guest, who’s
the guest gonna be &j - ...animary, you all tired to everybody at Geet
Shirti.
01:08:19,260 And I love the way that you say Geet, Geet Shirti, rather than Geet
Shirti. I was wondering whether or not that was an accent that’s local to
the area.
01:08:30,260 But I don’t say it like that. So that’s crept in from somewhere, Danna
where. And everybody, of course, at Hardman & Heming,
01:08:39,260 the local bespoke business of the year, Ranna Rob. And it’s a lot of me
to be speaking with you again. Mr Hardman and Mr Heming asked me
to reminisce about what got me surety.
01:08:53,260 And I had to rack my brains to see if there was anything I left out from
my first appearance where in I entered the building up to a round of
applause, which was lovely. And the only time it’s ever happened, I
think.
01:09:07,260 And as for Christmas, where, or you all tired, as I call it, because I have
pagan tendencies. You should smell my house.
01:09:17,260 It’s like the inside of a 1972 Hawkewins concert. Is that incense
everywhere, you know, Frankenstein gold? It’s a very smoldery house,
all this.
01:09:27,260 In fact, if you open a window, you can probably smell it now. As far as
you all tired, get shirties go then. Christmas cards.
01:09:36,260 I hate the bloody things. If I never received another Christmas card
again, it will be too soon. Not because I dislike the people.
01:09:45,260 It’s because I dislike the cards. If I went back to where this came from,
when I was at this Luke’s infant school for criminals in 1962 in sort of
Silverdale Road in Tamadras, we used to make paper jade.
01:10:00,260 Do you ever do that school make paper chains, you know, out of bits of
coloured paper with a gummy bit on the other, on one end, a terrible fire
risk? And my mother hated them.
01:10:10,260 She would never let us put any of me or my brothers and sisters. We
couldn’t put up decorations anywhere. Because she thought there were
a fire risk, which was a bit rich coming from her, who used to get a fire
going by holding a big piece of newspaper up in front of it and hearing
it, war up the chimney.
01:10:28,260 So I think that’s probably where it came from. Mum hated decorations if
she didn’t like Christmas cards either. And especially those things, you
know, when people hang up Christmas cards on a washing line
somewhere,
01:10:40,260 and anybody coming into the room risks being strangled by the damn
things. And so Christmas cards, no, I’m not, I’m not very good at that.
They get me shirty.
01:10:51,260 And it’s a lot of pressure because you get that guilt feeling, don’t you? If
you get a Christmas card from somebody and you don’t send
something back, you kind of, you have this dread come over you, don’t
you?
01:11:03,260 There’s this fear. So I have to have the strength somewhere to just say
no. So far this year I’ve only had five.
01:11:15,260 So either people have got off me, which is understandable. Or other
people feel exactly the same way I do that Christmas cards can do one.
And they can sort of, but other than that, I’m not particularly miserable,
01:11:29,260 even though I don’t celebrate Christmas particularly. I do, I have been
known to whip up a bit of festive spirit. So have a good one all in the
meantime.
01:11:42,260 I’m off in search of a good ghost story, something to really grab my
collar wobbles. I love that about this time of year. Good ghost of good
mark, gaitess type ghost story.
01:11:51,260 That will do me. And remember to put all your food, which is what they
do on the out of us, all your Christmas food, everything from starter to
main to finish,
01:12:00,260 everything on the table at the same time with no room for any plates or
people. And on that cheery note, I shall wish everybody there. And all
the listeners are very merry Christmas.
01:12:11,260 And good luck with editing this. It’s a lot of fun. Oh, good lad.
01:12:16,260 I’m with him though, on the cards. I don’t like Christmas cards. I’ve
never liked Christmas cards.
01:12:21,260 I’ve never liked Christmas cards. Yeah, the whole. Send him one
because he sent me one.
01:12:26,260 Yeah. So let’s not do one. We agree not to do each other’s Christmas
cards.
01:12:31,260 But don’t do it anyway, do we? Good. Right.
01:12:34,260 It’s time. It is that time. Is it?
01:12:37,260 Yes. It is time. Let me hand it to you.
01:12:40,260 Yeah. But do you know, seeing as it’s Christmas? Yeah.
01:12:44,260 I think. I’ll shake the hat. Right.
01:12:47,260 I think someone else should do the intro. Do you think somebody else
should do the hatty cuff explanation? Oh, that makes sense.
01:12:53,260 That needs to be you. It does. I’ll just go pick a thing out of the hat.
01:12:57,260 (laughs) (music) Off the cuff ideas.
01:13:03,260 In the hat, Bucsden Cuth didn’t like it. So take about that. Go.
01:13:08,260 It’s called the… Hippie. Hippie.
01:13:11,260 Hippie. Hippie. Hippie.
01:13:14,260 Hippie. Hippie. Hippie.
01:13:17,260 Hippie. Hippie. Hippie.
01:13:20,260 Who’s the right time? You’re going to pick it out. And so, actually, a bit
more explanation.
01:13:25,260 Hippie. Hippie. Hippie.
01:13:28,260 Is the Christmas edition? So what we’ve done is we’ve put it… a lot of
Christmas suggestions in here.
01:13:35,260 How do we? No. (laughs)
01:13:38,260 But, just going to add the word Christmas. So, I think whatever it is…
plus Christmas.
01:13:45,260 Plus Christmas. It’d be great if it was a Christmas trip. It’s a mess.
01:13:49,260 Reality TV. Oh, nice one. Good one.
01:13:52,260 It might be good for other people, but I don’t do TV. At Christmas? I
think we’re counting.
01:14:01,260 I think we’re counting Netflix as TV. Oh, me? That’s not reality TV, that
means it.
01:14:06,260 Well, there’s reality TV on it. Yeah, there’s reality streams. You’ve got,
like, a couple of days on Netflix, aren’t there?
01:14:10,260 Yeah, and the DIY stuff shows. Like… Oh, do you make up?
01:14:15,260 I do Christmas bake-off in a Christmas pottery. I can’t. I don’t think I’ve
got a shirt here over that, because they’re good.
01:14:23,260 Yeah. Well, look. My Christmas reality TV gets shirty.
01:14:29,260 Go on. It would be the… As we have just done, actually, by just using
the hat to cuff
01:14:37,260 and putting Christmas in front of it, I think… We were being ironic. Yes,
we were being ironic.
01:14:42,260 But I think there’s too many reality shows that just go, “Oh, there’s a
free episode there by saying Christmas.” And then making people wear
a snazzy jumper.
01:14:51,260 Right, you know what I mean? Yeah. It’s a bit shoe-hawned in
sometimes.
01:14:55,260 All right, let’s have a… So in beat, I get it. I suppose bake-off, I get it.
01:15:03,260 I suppose it’s like charity, usually, isn’t it? But like, some programs don’t
need a Christmas edition. That would be my thing.
01:15:12,260 Yeah. But unnecessary Christmas. (LAUGHS)
01:15:16,260 It’s like… It’s just the van doing an unnecessary Christmas podcast.
Yeah, but it’s every two weeks, isn’t it?
01:15:23,260 Yeah, exactly. For each hatch, it’s the full-on Christmas Eve. Exactly.
01:15:26,260 So that would be fun. I’m not a reality TV anyway, so. My reality…
01:15:30,260 Christmas reality TV… Get surety is the same as my reality TV. Get
surety.
01:15:35,260 They just make me surety. He’s doing the next one. Oh, we’re doing
more than once, no joke.
01:15:39,260 I want to do one of them. Well, why am I the only one to get to do one?
We were…
01:15:43,260 Yeah, but… Oh, let’s do it. Let’s double-guess it.
01:15:47,260 You are crazy. It’s Christmas. It’s Christmas.
01:15:50,260 Fuck yeah! (LAUGHS) All right, this Christmas…
01:15:54,260 This is… Christmas memory. Oh!
01:16:00,260 You could… Oh, I suppose you… Oh, I’ve got a shirty Christmas
memory.
01:16:04,260 Yeah. Oh, give up. Actually, is it part of me?
01:16:08,260 Yeah, it’s not… Actually, no, I’ve got that wrong, it’s good memory.
(LAUGHS)
01:16:13,260 Just thought that. You can tell it’s your good memory. Well, the only…
01:16:17,260 One of the few times I remember not being at home for Christmas. Sort
of as younger. We went to my granddad’s pub in Ramsgate for
Christmas.
01:16:26,260 All right. Obviously, pub was closed all day. Back in the days of
Sundays when it was closed.
01:16:30,260 If it was Christmas day, they didn’t bother emin’ at all. They just cleared
the whole pub out and had one massive long table. No, I hope it was.
01:16:36,260 We said that. And all our members eaten the food and played under the
table in the toys. Nice.
01:16:42,260 That member, that’s quite a good memory. That is good. I don’t want it
started off shirty probably because most of the times I’ve spent up there
didn’t like.
01:16:48,260 (LAUGHS) Yeah. Yeah, that’s a tough one, isn’t it?
01:16:54,260 Christmas. Christmas gets shirty. Memory.
01:16:58,260 Oh, why’d you do this? It goes down Australia, and that’s where my
family are. He’s being the pub.
01:17:04,260 Just still a little bit like going there. All right. He’s tenuous.
01:17:10,260 But I’m going to go. I’m going for it. Here’s a Christmas memory linked.
01:17:16,260 Get shirty. Back in the day when hard drives were smaller than they are
now. And yeah, all the good Christmas tell you on.
01:17:27,260 You couldn’t pause it. You could, there was no catch up. And you
sky-boxed.
01:17:32,260 But it ran out. A Christmas memory, a Christmas. You had to start
deleting things that you’ve been saving to watch.
01:17:39,260 Tenuous? Christmas memory. This stuff, right?
01:17:42,260 That’s what I’m saying. It’s a memory in a remembering and the
memory capacity and the hard drives. Exactly.
01:17:50,260 Yeah. Did you have the pull-on out of that? Hey!
01:17:55,260 No, I don’t think so. Nice arm action. Here you go.
01:18:01,260 Christmas. Christmas underwear. Oh, an actual proper Christmas one.
01:18:10,260 Yeah, it is, isn’t it? So, Christmas underwear. Look.
01:18:18,260 This is a very specific me one. I like a Christmas pant. I like a
Christmas sock.
01:18:25,260 A lot of you paused before you said pant. Well, you did the same box,
weren’t you? You weren’t sure about it.
01:18:29,260 But, you said… I like a Christmas pant. Yeah, I don’t know what I was
going to say.
01:18:35,260 Probably boxes, yeah. I like a Christmas pant. I like a Christmas sock.
01:18:42,260 I’ll put them on fairly quickly. I’ll take my normal… As soon as I can, I’ll
get my Christmas socks on.
01:18:48,260 You just…just the socks. You don’t strip down to change your pants. I’m
in the nude anyway.
01:18:52,260 All day. I’ll be present in Christmas. Christmas.
01:18:55,260 Christmas. Oh, that would be bad. These pigs in blankets are all the
time.
01:18:59,260 Yeah. Imagine I rub it in a little… …spiritual Christmas blanket.
01:19:04,260 So, you were told, right? We will be blanket. But, what I don’t like about
Christmas and novelty sock is…
01:19:12,260 …because of the way the patterns… …woven in. It makes that bit of the
sock tight.
01:19:19,260 And you know what? I’ll like about pulling my socks up anyway. So,
sometimes you have to sort of force your foot in it.
01:19:25,260 And the tightness of the sock down your ankles isn’t the same all the
way down. What? They’ve got a glitter thread going through them to set
aggravating it? No.
01:19:35,260 It’s the tightness. It’s that sort of bit of… …that goes around your ankle
that’s tighter than the band at the top of your sock.
01:19:43,260 Don’t I, Kate? Yeah. And sometimes I get my feet too hot and a bit itchy.
01:19:48,260 Yeah. Not generally a cotton rich sock, are they? They’re generally sort
of squeaky socks.
01:19:55,260 Squeaky socks. I’ve got a really nice pair with buddy the elf on the side.
Loven.
01:20:00,260 But they’re a bit… …get a bit tight. Well, that cracker?
01:20:04,260 Yeah. Oh! Nice, let’s have a pun off.
01:20:08,260 [Laughter] Oh, like, it was a Christmas cracker. That was good.
01:20:17,260 It was a good pun. Oh, that cracker. I want more.
01:20:20,260 Oh, um. Who eats the most Brussels sprouts at Christmas? Oh.
01:20:24,260 I’ve just made this up. Oh! Hang on then.
01:20:28,260 Let me get inside your mind, Christmas. He’s just made up a Brussels
sprout joke. [Laughter]
01:20:35,260 Come on. It is there. It’s so obvious.
01:20:39,260 I want to say. Just hold. Done that guy.
01:20:46,260 Vata Christmas. Vata Christmas. [Laughter]
01:20:51,260 It’s not bad. It’s not bad. I can’t have just made that.
01:20:55,260 That must have been a joke already. Hey, it wasn’t a joke then.
[Laughter]
01:21:02,260 Merry Christmas. Thank you for all of your hard work this year, both of
you. And to all of our listeners.

about how it’s gone. And to do something a little bit different.
01:21:59,260 And to have some returning guests. How fantastic. It was such a blast.

01:23:46,260 …any as anybody got a Christmas… …like a thing that they’re going to
do this Christmas which they don’t usually do. Christmas wind?
01:23:56,260 Christmas wind. I’m excited. I hope you are too.
