And you know what I'm loving most?

I'm going to be able to put it in the bin at the end of Christmas.

I'm going to be able to carry it to the place where it goes in the bin.

It's going to be amazing.

It's the first Christmas in my life.

I'm not thinking about dragging it away.

Is it recyclable?

It's something like if you drag it to the park before a date, the council will turn in disorders.

But I never drag it to the park before that day and it just sits in my garden, rotting.

Anyway, the point is, I'm dragging Christmasing, kicking and screaming.

And I think perhaps it's funny and nice to tell the listeners that this is in fact our second go at recording the Christmas special because the first time we were both so unfestive and shit.

I had flu, which was not ideal.

I just kept sneezing.

And so I was just like, you know that stage of flu where you're like crying softly a lot of the time.

And when people are like, what's wrong?

You're like, nothing.

I'm just weeping for my lost humanity.

And so I had that and you had moving to Dublin and having not packed.

And so we were counting the plots of these Friends episodes to each other in this incredibly, like, both fake academic and totally joyless way.

And of course, at Christmas, the friends gather together and they are often joined by Jack Geller, the father of several of the other characters.
