Show Notes

• For drink-of-the-week, Matt was drinking something boring and I was continuing with the peanut butter whiskey from last week…

Then he cried out “A Merry Christmas! Long live the true King!” and cracked his whip and he and the reindeer and the sledge and all were out of sight before anyone realised that they had started.”
