Hello
And Merry Christmas
Hello everyone
Welcome to our festive
Is It Just Me?
Welcome to the festive beach once more
I have been
I put out a story on my Instagram
asking for festive
Is it just me's and festive
And like embarrassing story
Like Christmas themed embarrassing stories
And I have had a good old lull
reading all of these
want them all. I want it all. They're brilliant. Not to like start off on the neg note, but the is it
just me's tend to be. I mean, the overriding theme is that people feel like they enjoy Christmas
less than they should or like less than other people are enjoying Christmas. And I think a big part of
this is like social media and the pressure to enjoy Christmas because obviously we're seeing amazing
things on Instagram. Yeah. I also think it's to do with the fact that your first Christmases are your
best. Like, it's like if we make Christmas heroin in this metaphor, the first hits or the first
few hits are always going to be the best because Santa's real. Days last so much longer when
your kids, like present. You can't buy anything for yourself when you're a kid. So all presents are
like amazing. Your parents make so much effort for like Christmas. Everybody makes so much effort
when you're a child and then nativity play and everything.
So as you get older, Christmas is bound to get shitter because it can never be as good
as it was when you were little.
And also you've got the added responsibility of the fact that your family might be horrible
or difficult and you've got to buy everyone presents and you might be worried about money
and like you're worried about food and you've worried about everything.
Like all the worries that come with adulthood don't fit into childhood Christmases.
So I think we're set up for disappointment.
We just should tell kids Santa isn't real and just let them have shit.
Christmases from me off. That's my advice. It's so true. You have to try and work out a way to
somehow transfer that magic of Santa to something else. And it's quite difficult when it's so
exciting. But I think as well, there's like, just the way like I feel in summer, I feel around
Christmas time, there can be so much, you can get this real sensation, like this real feeling of
FOMO and you feel like everyone's doing these
like these cool festive parties and like these
I don't know like movie nights and
and doing these like they're going to Santa's grottos
and then winter wonderland
and you're like oh I'm not really doing that
like I haven't really had a more wine yet. I always thought this about like
Christmas Eve like I know and knew and would see like a lot of people
going out on Christmas Eve and I'd always be like oh man
that's like peak adulthood you know all the Christmas songs
were always about like going out at Christmas Eve and like kissing someone under the
mistletal on Christmas Eve. And I was a teenager. I was like, my mom would kill me if I went out
on Christmas Eve. It's family time. We go to pantomime and eat ham together. And like,
anyway, when I was like 19, I was like, I'm going out on Christmas Eve. And I went out on Christmas Eve
and it was fucking shit. And all I wanted was to be at home eating ham. That was pre-vegan life
with my family. Like, it's a weirdest thing. It's like, you think you want something so
badly and I was like it would be romantic and I kissed a boy in
no it's possibly before I was 19 I must have been like 17 or 18 because it's before Alex
anyway kissed a boy in the back of a like I kissed a boy in Christmas Eve and I was
like ew oh Christmas it's Christmas what we're doing and I wake on Christmas day and I was
like oh no boo so yeah like I don't know and so it's that thing I think it's like
you think everyone's doing really fun shit and then you do the fun shit that you go to
winter wonderland and it's freezing and raining and expensive or like you're
you go to a Christmas market
and there's like
people everywhere and you hate them
but like on Instagram it's like
and then the Christmas songs
it's also romantic
exactly
if you put a filter over it
you put some you put some
fun Christmas music over it
and you're suddenly like
this is magical
I want to do this
but yeah the reality isn't the same
and also like
I
I get as well
like I used to dread like
from
God, I don't know what, not to get your little violins out, but like when I used to just
absolutely dread Christmas because of eating stuff, like I really would absolutely just
honestly like just feel like Christmas is the worst time ever and I couldn't bear it and
I was just desperate, desperate for it to be over because there's all this pressure around food
and eating and I was like fixed on this life of like restriction and so it didn't like it didn't
match up and I was just desperate for Christmas to be over so and it's just horrible.
for anyone who like suffers with any kind of or like struggles with any kind of eating problems so
yeah we've really fucking shot on Christmas this morning oh my god okay I'm gonna lift us back up
well you know what it's that Greg lake song um I believe in Father Christmas and he says it's just
like I was like holding out for snow but instead it just kept on raining like veil of tears
from a virgin bride it's so dear and that's like one of my favorite Christmas songs I'm like
fuck it's so bleak um but just on the food thing
I mean, it might be a little bit late by the time this comes out because it's Christmas,
but is there anything that you could or would say to anybody who's feeling like
in the grips of food, shame and guilt at this time?
Yeah, I just, you know, two things.
Number one, be super kind to yourself.
People say this all the time and I think it's become a bit of like a throwaway piece of advice,
but it's so important and I know it's really hard to do and hard to tap into,
but it's like vital at time like this when you're feeling really bad,
and remember that like shame doesn't like it doesn't it's not conducive to anything good so if you can
swap the shame for like um for like taking care of yourself like imagine yourself it's cringe and
you can tell that i've been to like way too much therapy in my life but if you can like imagine yourself
as imagine the little child that needs that like reassurance it needs that needs some soothing and
need some parenting, need someone to like look after their emotional needs.
And if you can tap into that and to kind of put yourself in that position rather than see
yourself as someone who is disgusting or like needs all this shame, then I think and really
look after yourself and I think that will really help you through this period and know as well
that it's, it won't last. It's going to be over really soon and this is like it's a really,
and I know that's not necessarily like the way we should look at it because it's like we should enjoy Christmas but also like it's really really difficult and especially if you're not in you know I mean if you like sort of work on your work on this headspace throughout the year and then you're more able and you have better tools to tackle Christmas but if you don't and you're just thrown into this it's really difficult it's going to be over soon and your life is going to get back to normal and you won't feel this immense pressure and I promise that you're okay and like
weight gain is not the worst thing in the world even though it feels it in the moment it feels like
the worst thing in the world but if you can like try and take a step back and look at it objectively it's
really it's like it's okay and you're going to be okay sorry that was a lot that was a lot no it's great
I mean like I just feel just so doom and gloomy to be like oh well you might not be enjoying
Christmas but that's a reality and like if you're not enjoying this period either I think a lot of people
struggle without the routine and the goch as well like without work to go to or the normal
things that like hold our lives together you know whether it's like going for a walk in the morning
or showering at a certain time or like whatever it whatever it is and then all of a sudden you're
thrown out of your routine it's quite difficult so I guess like on that front I like I struggle
with that a bit but that's why I love reading because you can just like lose the whole day and it's just
like okay well there's no routine there's no there's no point I'm just going to sit here and
read and wait till it to be over for it to be over and kind of love it and you've got to lean in
but like also if you're hating it then it's nearly over yeah you just I just lean into it
I'm just like, I'm just going to sit and eat at weird times and read all the day.
You make me want to get into reading.
I know.
I say this all the time.
I nearly got your book for Christmas and I was like, literally, I'm just killing a tree for nothing.
Might as well just go outside and punch a tree.
True.
Okay.
So, onto the lighter stuff.
A lot of people feel extreme, immense awkwardness around opening presents.
Oh, my God.
love that for us do you I do I used to I used to it's the face it's I find it worse on my
birthday I find Christmas a lot easier because Christmas you're also giving and everybody's
opening we're not a one at a time family you're just buckle it you know like let's go
and it's all like chaos and there's loads of us so it's fine but when it's your birthday
and it's all eyes on you it's like ah this is the worst I hate it and your reality
action is being monitored.
Oh, closely.
Very closely.
And it just feels like you have to act.
Yeah.
And unless you've got this like...
Yeah.
You're still acting.
But like if it's like the mega, mega present,
like I can't think of what kind of present it would be,
but like an extreme present,
then that would like probably like provoke a reaction that like you didn't have to like
force it.
But anything else is like you just, oh, it's just awkward.
It is awkward.
So yeah, I get it.
It is, it's really uncomfortable.
And a lot of people have opened presents that weren't for them.
Oh, no, they haven't.
That is about half of the embarrassing stories.
Oh, no, that's really embarrassing.
I just, I, I'm picking this one just because...
Don't get attached.
It's not for you.
I'm picking this one just because I find it awkward.
I once opened a present that wasn't for me.
It was a chicken run DVD.
Oh, no.
It was for my auntie.
and I still cringe about it to this day.
I was about five at the time
and remember seeing my...
Oh, that's okay.
I remember seeing my dad
rewrap the chicken run DVD
and even then I wanted to curl up
in a corner, there's just nothing worse.
Oh my God, your five,
totally fine statute of limitation.
But I'm imagining like, I don't know,
your mum gets your dad,
oh no, that wouldn't happen this way around.
I don't know, like someone gets like
a beautiful piece of jewelry for someone else
and you open, you're like,
oh my God, I just love it so much.
And it's like, it's not for you.
like it's embarrassing to like excitedly react to this is this is a minefield this has given me a whole new
thing to worry about i'm going to be like checking the tags like so closely how embarrassing
though mortified when i did this a few weeks ago of embarrassing stories most people have just
shat at their christmas work parties i love that yeah like shat themselves so i was like okay
it's festive um okay so i have have uh how about uh how about
an embarrassing story that was sent by a DM because it was too long.
I was on my way to meet some friends for drinks.
There is no intro, sorry, that I feel like I need to say, I'm about to start.
Okay, I was on my way to meet some friends.
Why do I have to make everything so fucking awkward?
I'm so awkward.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I thought that as you were speaking.
I was like, why are she doing this?
Why?
It was so fine.
Like, didn't have to.
It was actually fine, yeah.
We've got to get going.
I was on my way to meet some friends for drinks before Christmas and was walking behind a very slow family heading into town.
I needed to go the same way but felt awkward just walking behind
so I quickly sped up so I could overtake.
As I was overtaking, I noticed a shadow walking beside me
but just thought it was just my coat in the streetlight.
The dad in the family said,
Someone must be after a Christmas roast.
She's walking so quickly.
To which I turned around and said sassily,
oh, I wish I was running to a race,
but I'm actually meeting friends for a drink.
The man just looked at me and then pointed to his 20-something daughter
who, it turns out, had also been walking fast
and was in fact the real life person
I had thought was my own shadow
out of the corner of my eye
safe to say I was mortified
and then did actually run to the safety
of the nearby pub
where I was meeting friends or drinks
I just find everything like that
like it just
A sassy teenage clap back
to someone that isn't your parent
Like she probably
The daughter probably would have given it
given one of her own
I would have sprinted away from that situation
Sprinted I tell you
do you know what this reminds me
I literally still die thinking about it
so it is really it's really
mortifying I was out with my friends
we're coming out in Manchester in uni
after a night out and we were all walking home
and this car passed us with his
roof down or top down or soft top whatever you call
I don't know it was open anyway the car was open
and I was like walking behind
because my heels were killing me and I just couldn't move properly
and this man shouted looking good
so I thought he was talking to me because he was kind of like parallel to me where he was at
so I said thank you and then he said no not you the other the one in front
no not you I've never I haven't lifted down like my friends still bring it up all the time
Because I was like, I know, I know, you're dying.
What a fucking, he should have just let you have it.
He should have just let me have it.
Jesus Christ.
If I say thank you, what a prick.
What a prick.
No, not you.
No, not you.
That, you know, I've got some issues with catcalling.
You know, on some issues.
I know.
But that is probably my biggest issue with catcalling.
I know.
That's the entire issue.
It's a double whammy.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
That's about as bad as it gets.
You can't even claim it's a,
compliment like when the old old women say oh well you'll miss it one day it's a
it wasn't even a fucking compliment it wasn't even a compliment it was quite literally not a compliment
not you the one in front he was the one in front my friend chloe you trip her over
who fuck you she's not alive anyone oh god oh god she is he pushed her into the top of the car
have her then she's all yours so much you bunch of dicks
You're welcome to each other.
No, not you.
It's so cruel.
It's so cruel.
In fact, it's genuinely the worst thing I've ever heard.
I know.
It's sad this thing.
I know.
It's so sad.
Can we move on because I feel sick?
So, right, okay, another embarrassing story.
My boyfriend came round on Christmas Eve and we watched The Grinch twice,
kissing too much the first time.
Oh, oh.
Oh, I know.
That's what gets you going.
It's not for me.
big green man. Yeah, geez, with a really long furry fingers. People call Dave the Grinch,
so I kind of get it. Gross. If David gets a really big tummy.
Anyway, we get a bit frisky. And then my dad knocks on the door. I'm like, shit. I get
under the covers and I try to act natural. My dad comes in and asks a few questions, but slowly
backs out of the room as he talks. As he leaves, I'm like, few, that was a close call.
Then my boyfriend turns around and says, your tits out. Oh. I was trying to be nonchalant
by not pulling the covers up so high
but my tip was that
just one
just one
okay there's so many layers here
there's so many layers to it
I can't really get over the fact that she got her tits out
for the grinch
or just one tit out
just just one just want it
why didn't no one say anything why don't the dad be like
your nips out or like
the boyfriend be like oh you
oh you know
oh
knew what was going on if you were on your second screening under the covers this is something
that i don't know if i would ever get over i don't think i could ever get past this in my head
i'd need a lot of therapy i think i told you this my sister did that to the window cleaner once
she opened the window and she opened the curtains in her room like she woke up her her
her window is above her bed and she opened her curtains and like eye to eye with the window
and he looked her in the eyes and then he looked down and then she looked down and really
And I thought her vest had shifted and one of her boobs was just sticking out of the thigh.
She said it nearly fell off his ladder.
I honestly, like, she needs to write a book.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
Genuinely, it's, yeah, but there's something about one boob that's so much, like, on their own,
they're just, an out of context boob.
Yeah, an out of context, boom.
Just like a rogue boob.
Well, Jade from Littlemix just put this video up.
Did you see it?
No.
Of her, like, of a Christmas outfit where she has, I don't know how to describe it to you.
So she, so she's, she's doing this video and she's wearing this purple outfit and like everything is covered apart from like one boobies like fully out and it's got like a pasty on it to like just to cover the nipple.
And honestly, it took my breath away when I saw it.
I got such a shot.
I'm imagining like a little pastry.
Like a little glassy.
I'm just covering the nip and mackle.
A little meat in particular.
pie. Cornish pasty.
Did you call it a pasty? Is it a pasty? It is, isn't it?
Cornish pasty. I think, yeah, I think, I think, I think this might be our north-south
divide. I'd call it a pasty, a pasty. No, I'd call it a pasty. It's a pastry. A cornish pastry.
A cornish pastry. It's a pastry. It's a pasty. Yeah, but it's pastry.
Technically it's pastry, but. It's a type of pastry. But like, I think a nipple, pasty is a
not a pasty. I've never heard of a nipple pasty. Have you ever worn nipple tassels?
No. Have you? Well, my friend Locky and I used to do this thing every birthday where we would only write
birthday messages using, like, we would do like a happy birthday card just using our boobs in like the
most like shocking way we could. Like all at the most like festive birthday way. Her birthday is near
Christmas. So it's kind of easier for me. But like we're doing.
like party hats or like we did like whipped cream or like and it was always like who could do
the most like we could outdo each other and I'm pretty sure I had some tassels for one year on
that it's kind of weird it's kind of like yeah it's kind of feel I feel like I've been sexting my
friend of bad enough yeah kind of yeah when I say it out loud now as an adult I'm like that was
intense um but yeah so I think I had some for that but I I couldn't with any confidence where
nipple tisles
I couldn't with any confidence
wear nipple tassels anywhere
because I
first of all gravity
like I think my boobs are too big
I think realistically if you've got little
little little purse and like little
nipples on the ends that you can have like
oh fun and it's like they're up but for me
because my boobs go quite far down
I think the nipple tassels would drag them down
even further so they wouldn't be like
woo like meow they're
be more like, whoop, and it would be more like, you know, like, when you've got fancy curtains
and they've got that little, like, tie thing, and then the drake, like, they hang out,
like the, like a curtain string hangs, like, I think that's what it would be. And it would
probably, gravity compounded would probably, like, pull them even further to the side. So I'd
have, like, two, like, like, like, Spaniels here is, really. I think it would be. I actually
just typed into Google, nipple tassels on big boobs, because I realized I don't actually
know what nipple tassels look like on big boobs.
and a lot of porn has come up.
A lot of porn.
Oh, I want to see festive porn.
I have seen, I have seen three penises.
Tassels on, I got Alex to festive Willie warmer once.
Oh, my God, listen.
So it's changed.
My, my Wi-Fi doesn't let me watch porn.
Boring.
Boring.
Bore.
You prude.
Yeah, Jesus.
Fucking hell, Virgin media.
grow up I typed in nipple tassels on saggy boobs and Google has said did you mean nipple tassie boobs
no no no no no no specific kink wait I want to see I want to see I'll see if my phone lets me do it
what nothing comes up that's so weird oh my god this is this is an area of body positivity that
has been yet unexplored nipple this Jesus with nipple tassels did he have saggy boobs
yeah oh my god it's restrictive why did none of my phones let me what
porn like nothing lets me look at anything interesting even on 5g how embarrassing this is actually this
does actually remind me of whenever I've worked with love honey and for some reason my wife I've never let
the love honey website work so whenever I work with them I always have to be like I'll just have
whatever because I can't go on their website I was going to say have you not found out about this
before I like I googled stuff I shouldn't Google all the time out stuff I shouldn't google
But, like, oh my God, I love that.
For context, listeners, I'm looking at the photo of a nipple with a red nose on it and then two little eyes above it.
So it's like a little reindeer, reindeer tit.
How inspiring.
Oh my God, look, two rain dears.
That is so good.
We need to share that.
We need to share that on the Instagram page.
I just think gravity wouldn't help me.
I think my boobs are too saggy.
Like, do you know what I mean?
I just think it would be like, why are their noses down?
I'd look, they'd look more like horses.
You know how like a, like a horse's nose is at the bottom?
Like, if it's just my nip,
like when they're mostly that particularly now, they're getting bigger.
Like, I just think it would all just be down.
Yeah, like, why the long face?
Like a donkey.
I think we need this visual.
I mean, we don't, but fun.
But fun.
Yeah, 100%.
I can, I'll go out.
I'll get some tassels.
I think I've actually got some randomly in my mom's house in my bedroom there.
I don't know why.
I think there was someone on the mantelpiece.
So I'll try them on.
If Alex murdered, just throwing her on still here.
She just got up to go and check something.
She looked suspiciously behind her.
She's like checking the door and stuff.
And if like the sound effects of her being murdered and me being like,
anyway, my massive saggy tit.
No, she's still gone.
Is there someone in the house?
Al just put me on loudspeaker.
They'll leave really quickly.
Someone just, oh my God.
My sister walked in.
I heard the door go.
Dave is not here.
I knew it was not Dave.
I just, I threw my mouth.
headphones out and I just ran out of the back door.
Did you?
You just left me.
Did you?
Are you joking?
Are you joking?
You fucking bitch?
They'd have come in here, that have taken me.
Like no questions asked.
They'd have picked me up and they'd have rum.
You left me.
I knew it.
I talked about this a few weeks ago in an episode about what you'd do in a crisis.
Would you stay with me if I was dying or would you leave me?
And now we fucking know.
Just leave me.
You just left me.
You didn't even say goodbye.
I was out of there.
he's brought out of the door
oh my god
oh my
I'm pleased
we've learned some lessons today
I do not look good
in nipple tassels
and Alex will leave me
in a crisis
um
roast dinners
people don't like roast dinners
as much as
people can get fucked
no so I'm not having that
I'm not having that
a lot of is it just me
a lot of is it just me is that don't like
we don't like roast dinners
but
all we do around Christmas
is eat roast dinners
To like, you know what, I'll tell you what it is,
you haven't had my roast potatoes and I'm sad
for you, it shows, it really shows.
Good God. Yeah, they do look good actually.
My God, I'll make you some. And, you know, recently I've been putting
Marmite in them now.
I've been cooking them in my, genuinely, it's going to blow your mind.
So obviously, you know, I've been like tried and tested
roast potato queen. I'm self-appointed, fucking having it.
So I've been using my mum's recipe for years.
It's a highlight on my grid if you're in the market
for some really good roast potatoes. Like on my Instagram
it's a highlight thing on whatever, where the highlight
So, anyway, recently, I watched a video that used Marmite and I was like, let's see what
this is all about.
Now, I can't go in on Christmas day.
We're recording this before Christmas, by the way.
I can't go in on Christmas day and be like, all right, guys, like, we're going to try
something new because, you know, what if everyone hates it?
So I've been trying them for three weeks practicing to make sure that I'm not going to
ruin everyone's Christmases and I finally got them right.
Basically, when you parboil the potatoes, if you put two teaspoons of Marmite into the water and
Yeah, I know.
I saw it on Poppy Cook.
She's amazing.
She does those potato recipes.
And parboil them.
Yeah, love her so much.
So parboil them.
She didn't add with Marmite and I'm basically doing this ad for free because I'm
telling everyone about it.
But, yeah, like so you put it in and then you, like, so you, out, so you, sorry, baby's
kicking me in the organs.
So, yeah, you parboil it in Marmite and then, so they're super, like, obviously they
absorb all of that.
And then if you're like, that's enough.
my opinion and then you can just roast them as normal in like oil and salt but if you're like
super into it i did this on sunday and it's so good you then put additional when you put it in the
roasting tin you put additional marmite like in the oil and mix it all up to all the potatoes
they then covered in a second layer of marmite wow they cook a bit faster be warned and i'm gonna
so i'm going back to my mom's house tomorrow and i'm going to make them on christmas eve eve which is
yeah when i get home and i'm going to make on christmas eve eve eve and i'm going to make on christmas eve
Eve and I'm going to make two batches and I'm going to make them just in the marmite water
and with the marmite on the roasting and see what everyone prefers because I don't want to ruin
Christmas fully. You know what I mean? I give it too much because I like marmite and my mum
likes marmite and my sister likes marmite but I'm not sure when my brother's at with marmite
so I don't want to put marmite in his life if he doesn't want to. So we're going to do a taste
test see where everyone's out but it's an incredible situation. Try if you're going to do it
try it with the parboiling first because that's enough and then the next time you do it go up
and not. I appreciate you not wanting to
give your brother and solicited marmite. I appreciate that.
Because I don't like when people do that to me.
It's famously, love it or you hate it. You know what I mean?
Exactly.
Perversely, I don't mind it. I don't love it.
And I don't hate it.
You know what? It's all right. It's pretty nice.
Like, yeah, it's pretty nice. I like it a bit.
Like, yeah, I like it. I like it.
It's salty, right? I like salt. It's so salty.
Yeah. I'm going to make this potatoes for you.
They are going to blow it. I can't wait to see you now.
I'm going to make some potatoes for you. It's going to do it.
Well, I was going to say for three weeks you've been doing potatoes,
and I've tasted not one.
I've not had any.
Three weeks, are you drinking?
I do it every Sunday.
You know, me and now, we're going to, my out, we're going to go to the pub.
And then it's just like, no one, like, we've checked every pub out around here
and there's a lot of pubs.
And no one comes close to my roast potatoes.
So we've just stopped even try.
We just come home so I can make them.
Love that.
What fat do you cut them in?
What oil?
Well, I just use olive oil because my mum would use goose fat,
but obviously this is a no meat household.
So we just use olive oil.
So I parboil them and then, yeah, and then put them in hot oil with salt and garlic if you like garlic, but not everyone likes garlic, so not necessarily.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Like garlic cloves?
Well, I use lazy garlic because I'm a lazy gal.
What's that?
Oh, my God, it's great. It's a jar of just chopped garlic.
Oh, wow.
You just get it in Zainsbury. It's fucking amazing.
It's so good. Oh, I need that.
Yeah, yeah, you totally do.
I need that for all my cooking.
I know, literally. Yeah, lo.
No. I can't believe people don't like.
roast dinners. What a fucking
sadness. I know. I know. That is
sad. I can't relate. I guess
what I don't understand is like it's not
it's like made up of so many
individual parts. Like you can't
hate all the parts of a roast dinner.
Okay, some might not
tickle your pickle. Oh, I'll never say that again.
No, please.
But
you know, it's not like it's like you have
to eat one
thing. No.
And you can't like separate out of the individual.
bread sauce, like, fucking stunning.
Turkey, I get, I don't have, but I make, um, I make a chestnut,
BBC Good Foods, Chestnut, no, Walnut, Chestnut.
It's like a, it's a BBC Good Foods Fest is nut roast, basically, and it's like chestnuts and walnuts are fucking great.
Carrots and broccoli, like, great.
Yep.
What else do you have?
Rose potatoes, stunning roast parsonate.
It's not for me, but good for, good if you can get it.
I like honey and mustard ones.
Yeah.
I like them when they're honey mustard.
Gravy?
I love gravy.
Yeah.
Love.
Colisal cheese.
Yeah.
We don't do that but I'm with you.
Yeah.
And I'm vegan but also with you.
Pigs and blankets.
Again, I don't have them but they do,
they seem to be a firm favorite among the meat eaters.
Yeah.
Stuffing.
Oh, stuffing.
Again, even vegan stuffing, fucking great.
Oh, God, I'm excited.
I am excited.
Yeah, it's so good.
Yeah, well, you know what?
More for me, guys, if you don't like them.
Weirdos.
the smell of me.
Okay, and we're just going to finish off with this short, embarrassing story that just really,
just, I don't know, so short, but just absolutely cut through to the bone.
I wore high heels to church one day, in brackets, it was a snowy day.
After church, there's so many habits that I can already think of.
Oh, no.
I know.
After church, I fell and slipped underneath a parked car.
Underneath a cold car.
No, two guys pulled me out with half of my hometown watching.
No, that's so bad.
What a landing place.
Underneath the car.
So perfect.
You know what, like, there's so much.
I mean, I would never wear high heels to church, A, because it's just the Lord.
and he's, you know, not interested.
And B, because of the grate, like, you know, when you walk down the aisle,
because, like, if you ever wore a stiletto into a church, which I've done want,
and I am never doing it again, but the simple reason that stiletto are just the wrong size
to go in the grate.
And then I picked my foot up and the whole grate came with it.
Ah, so loud, it's so loud.
What's horrific.
It's so bad.
Just drag it away with you.
No, like, sometimes they're like, trying to, like,
like, have her it back in.
I'm like, don't look at me.
I haven't been to jet since part from my wedding.
And then I was like, chunky, chunky heels for the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God, and then high heels on snow.
I mean, what a woman.
But it's not the fact that she fell.
It's just the fact that she just fell under, underneath the park car.
She's lucky it was like a high car.
Because, I mean, how embarrassing to start going under a car and then get stuck.
Like, if you were going underneath, like, a little, like,
a little Porsche or, like, some little sports.
car and it's like there's nothing for your shins and thighs and then it gets to your
ass and it's like oh I block it so good well Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas oh guys what I mean like yeah I hope you're all alright and I hope you're
having a good time and if you're not it's yeah it's nearly over you know hang in there
life is nearly back to all normal my god I've never heard you say nearly before you say nearly
again nearly no you definitely didn't just say nearly you said say it again
Nearly, nearly, I don't know now.
It's in the other one.
Nearly, nearly.
Nearly, nerly.
Nerly.
How do you say it?
Nearly.
Nerly, nearly, nearly here.
I'm nearly there, nearly, yeah, nerly.
Nearly.
Oh my God, now I've said it way too much, and it sounds so weird.
Nerly, nerly, nerly, no, I like it.
What do you say again?
Nearly.
Nearly?
Yeah, and the same way that you say that dearly.
Derely.
Yeah, because it's like it's written like deer.
Or nerly there.
Yeah, I say nerly, yeah.
That is weird.
Yeah, that is weird.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Maybe it's Dave.
You might have picked it out from Dave because Dave is from like the Midlands.
So maybe it's like, yeah.
Maybe it's from Lancashire, isn't he?
It's not a Midlands.
Lincolnshire.
That's the Midlands, isn't it?
Anyway, that's his accent.
Maybe he says, that sounds like a Midlands thing.
Maybe it's just Dave thing.
Well, there you go.
That's two minutes you can never get back.
guys.
Sorry.
There you go.
Yeah.
Apologies.
Oh guys, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
I hope wherever you go for your New Year's Eve.
Oh, just a quick thing to say on New Year's Eve.
If you fucking hate it, fine.
If you don't have plans, fine.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, you just want to go to bed at 11 o'clock and not acknowledge it.
Fucking fine.
That's the other massive area of pressure.
This year, I'm going to be like a heifer.
I am not doing shit.
It'll be my first year I've actually not doing anything.
I've got no plans.
Watch me make a plan because I'll get terrible photo.
But also, as of, yeah, I have no plans.
But, yeah, there's just so much pressure on New Year's Eve.
So honestly, like, just don't worry.
Don't worry about what everyone's doing on social media
because everyone makes it look more fun than it is.
And if you want to wake up on January the first of that a hangover,
good for you.
Good for you.
Totally.
And 12 a.m. is a long time to stay awake till.
So get yourself to bed.
Yeah, unless it's you sitting.
until like three watching TikTok.
Yeah.
Just normal day life.
Well, happy Christmas,
happy new year.
