Ep 51: 2025 Christmas Special (Pt. 1) | GOAT Xmas Songs/Movies & Quiz! · Let's Kick It Off!

0:00
Secret Santa. Yeah, it's Christmas.
0:01
Got to start with presents. We haven't even kicked it off
0:04
yet. Nope, straight in.
0:05
Straight into presents, right? Let's have a look.
0:09
Very nice, nice nice packaging there.
0:12
Lovely, very colourful. What's the did you do?
0:14
This yourself? Or was that Amazon who did that
0:16
for you? Can't.
0:17
Can't confirm that it's the thought that counts.
0:23
I love it. Right.
0:23
Let's let's get this open. Is this is this from you?
0:27
You're reading the. You're reading the note.
0:28
You. You're reading the note first.
0:30
Is there a note? Yeah.
0:31
OK. Let's have a look.
0:32
Let's have a look. What It's.
0:33
No, that's just a receipt, I think.
0:35
OK. Or does the note maybe the note
0:37
there maybe from Secret Santa? Is that the one?
0:39
OK. Yeah.
0:40
What does it say? Your job is to prepare for the
0:44
future From Secret Santa, that is.
0:49
That is mysterious, very mysterious.
0:53
Is that my job? I tell you what, that is
0:56
magnificent. Absolutely magnificent.
1:01
I am actually chuffed at getting that.
1:04
Steve. Yeah.
1:06
For the, for the. Steve has purchased me Gareth
1:09
Southgate's Lessons in Leadership, which I have to say,
1:14
I think will be a magnificent read.
1:16
And at the end of this, I can imagine my leadership skills
1:20
being 10 out of 10. Yeah, definitely a better work
1:24
culture in the office. I'll shotgun them second read of
1:29
that once you're done. Definitely.
1:34
I'm actually absolutely knackered today but I'm going to
1:37
start this tomorrow. Nice.
1:39
You get into his head, you get into Southgate's head.
1:42
Let us know if there's anything we don't know about.
1:45
It'd be fun, be funny. If I read this, I'm like, oh,
1:47
Guy Southgate, he's an absolute fraud.
1:50
Yeah, forget it. Forget this is tactics for the
1:54
Ashes. Yeah, exactly.
1:57
Knows nothing about preparation. I think actually a good question
2:01
actually. Do you think Gareth Southgate
2:04
would be a better cricket coach than Brendan McCallum?
2:08
Because it is all about culture at the end of the day, right?
2:10
Or director. Better director than Rob Key.
2:13
I like Rob Key, I like Rob Key is a director of cricket, but
2:16
just in terms of, you know, like Southgate would get the
2:19
specialists in right the the the batting coach, the bowling
2:22
coach, fielding coach, it just set the template.
2:25
I think we'd be all right. Was Dan Ashworth a picture some
2:29
Cricket County club doing some consultancy work this summer.
2:33
I'm pretty sure that. Was Yeah, I think he might be.
2:36
I think he might be right, Ash. Warwickshire.
2:39
Warwickshire. Correct.
2:41
OK, as a as a is there any quotes from anyone who's
2:44
reviewed the Southgate book by any chance?
2:47
Clearly yes. Nothing mates or something.
2:49
He's done to give us loads of loads of podcasts he's done
2:52
recently. Has he OK?
2:55
Yeah, he's been underoath. You'll have to give us your
2:57
quote after. Yeah, he must have done one with
3:00
Steve's best mate, Jake. He's done one there, but he's
3:04
done the rest is politics as well.
3:06
Wow, Interesting. Yeah, it'd be more fun to.
3:08
I watched it. Yeah, it was decent.
3:11
Over to you, Ash. Yeah, lovely packaging.
3:15
Looks familiar. Yeah.
3:18
I wonder how Steve did it. What's your say?
3:21
Of the tag, It's your job to prepare for the future from
3:26
Secret Santa. Same job as us.
3:29
Wow. Wow, what's going on?
3:31
Is is it Marcus Silva's autobiography?
3:35
You can only hope. I did look for one, I'm not
3:39
going to lie. Very so gutted.
3:44
That would have been amazing if it was.
3:46
Hopefully you won't be disappointed with this.
3:49
Oh yeah, one winners, the next manager in the summer Strong.
3:58
The big man. AJ Next, manager of Manchester
4:01
United. We can't attract him, can we?
4:04
Apparently not, but that is beautiful and that is called the
4:08
dream for the listeners. But yeah, can't wait to read
4:12
that over Christmas. So I've got my book sorted and
4:16
just as an incentive, in a few years time we'll be lifting that
4:21
again, the European Cup or the Champions League.
4:24
So yeah, thank you, Secret Santa.
4:29
Is it? Oh, is that?
4:30
I'll go in excellent. I think you're you're OK Next.
4:32
Oh God, save the best to last kiss save the best to last.
4:35
So this one very nice. Vanessa.
4:36
Gifted Vanessa Williams Is it kiss?
4:39
It's been nicely wrapped, this one.
4:41
I don't know that reference Ash, I must say.
4:43
You must. You need to sharpen up on your
4:46
music skills then. I will see that in a moment.
4:49
Looks like another book. Looks like we need to do some
4:51
more reading in 2020. Yeah, Secret Santa is just like
4:55
we need to read more books. Here it is God, God, God.
5:00
How to win the Premier League? Finally, he can embrace some
5:04
stats. Shout out here it I've not read
5:07
it yet, Who's it by Ian Graham? He's the Ian.
5:12
Graham Yeah, yeah, it's good. And I'd love to get your
5:16
thoughts on some of the YEAH. Data sets.
5:18
I've been wanting to read this so.
5:19
What does your What does your tag say from Secret Santa?
5:23
Good point. Did you buy this for yourself by
5:25
the way? No, our sponsors.
5:28
Our sponsors sorted it out. Which is you, isn't it?
5:32
No. Sounds since you're so obsessed
5:35
with winning the league, you should read this.
5:38
That's what the note says for me.
5:39
I love it. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm looking
5:43
forward to reading this. It's been out a few years,
5:44
hasn't it? But I've not got round to to
5:47
reading it yet. I think Kieran McGuire plugged
5:50
this. I think he's.
5:50
Yeah, he did. He's in the book, isn't he?
5:53
So yeah, should be a good read. Right?
5:56
Here's Meister over to me. So, Tag says time to make us
6:00
absolutely massive from Secret Santa.
6:04
All right, sponsored by Pele. Let's have a look.
6:12
Do you know I think Gary Lineker was offered that gig 1st and he
6:15
said no that's and then Pele did it.
6:18
It's called this like piece of string kiss like Google.
6:22
It's like a knot GPT. It's this thing called a knot
6:25
and then you unknot. The guide going viral.
6:30
This is it. By bread and the love.
6:34
The art of the art and Science of succeeding on social media.
6:37
Hey, this one might be a good read.
6:40
Yeah, interesting. At least we can do book swaps.
6:58
All right, so let's kick it off. Special episode today, little
7:02
Christmas episode, right? The agenda.
7:04
Well, I'm Co hosting with you Steve, right?
7:06
Yeah, yeah, we can bounce off each other.
7:08
We can bounce off each other. So we're what's on the agenda,
7:10
Steve. So I think I I quite like the
7:14
idea. No particular order, but within
7:17
this part I'd like to do a a Mount Rushmore of Christmas
7:20
songs. A Mount Rushmore of Christmas
7:23
movies. That's two categories I want to
7:26
cover. Yeah.
7:27
Apart from that, though, I'm easy.
7:29
Any any thoughts? Mount Rushmore of Christmas
7:32
songs. So 4 best Christmas songs?
7:34
I tell you what, my #1 without OK, the obvious in in the true
7:40
Mount Rushmore, George Michael lost Christmas, right?
7:43
Everyone knows that if you're going to go random.
7:45
You mean a Wham? OK, well, well, again,
7:49
technical, isn't it? Wham.
7:52
Which was the original. Technical.
7:53
Yeah, You know. George, which was the original?
7:55
Which was the original. How do you mean?
7:58
Like last last Christmas, I gave you my heart, right?
8:00
Yeah, just last Christmas. Who sung the original?
8:04
George Michael. George.
8:05
Michael OK. Oh, so Wham is the cover?
8:06
Yeah. No, George Michael was part of
8:09
the band called Wham. That was his original singer.
8:11
I see, I see, I see, I see. Well.
8:13
It's two people, right? Yeah, but that's he done this
8:17
thing then. Yeah, I mean, he, I think he
8:19
probably wrote it as well. He did.
8:22
No, but let's, let's, let's not go boring.
8:26
Forget Mount Rushmore. Let's go.
8:28
And Mount Rushmore has four presidents, right?
8:31
So we get one pick each. Yeah.
8:33
And let's let's just go a bit left field your random pick for
8:36
the Mount Rushmore. That's pretty.
8:38
Nice. Yeah, I'm going to put in.
8:40
I'm going to put in #1 for me, E 17 stay another.
8:45
Day because you got beaten. Absolutely love it.
8:48
And the video as well. I think it was 94 maybe.
8:52
So it just brings back a lot of memories.
8:54
Ashley, you're the man with the dates.
8:56
What was it? Night?
8:56
What was he? Yeah, it was 9094.
8:59
Absolute classic. Every time I watch that video,
9:02
it just. Yeah.
9:04
So you want to know? Some interesting facts as about
9:07
this I'd. Love some, love some.
9:09
So first one is the song was obviously written by Tony
9:14
Mortimer, who's part of E 17. So it was actually written for
9:19
his brother passing away and it wasn't actually supposed to be
9:22
released as a Christmas single. So you know the end of the song
9:26
where the Christmas bells chime in?
9:29
They added that on to have it for the December and Christmas.
9:34
So as are we, are we doing one each?
9:36
Did you say? I feel like we have our top
9:38
three and then a wild card. Yeah, well, let's let's, let's
9:42
do the let's discuss it. Let's throw some of the.
9:44
Mix I want to I just want to have a word out there for E 17
9:47
because. Nice.
9:48
No, I would have said E 17, but since we've mentioned 2 in my
9:52
top three already, I'll go The Pogues fairy tale New York.
9:56
Yeah, a classic. Absolute classic, that is.
9:59
I've got a topical one for this week, I think.
10:02
Is it Chris, Chris Ray, who sings Driving Home for
10:04
Christmas? Yeah.
10:05
Is it Ria? Yeah.
10:06
Sadly passed away this week. But what a tune, right?
10:09
Driving Home for Christmas. That's got to be.
10:11
It's got to be in the mix, surely?
10:13
It reminds me of Britain from Gavin and Station.
10:16
Great. Shout Ash over to you.
10:18
I wasn't really prepared. Even better, you know, One of my
10:22
favourites, actually, I like listening to this song,
10:25
actually, at the end of Christmas, Christmas Day is Paul
10:29
McCartney's wonderful Christmas. Like I like listening to that as
10:34
the night draws in and like, yeah, yeah, you know, got your
10:39
cheese board in front of you and watching a bit of EastEnders
10:42
even though you've not watched in the last 25 years.
10:45
Tiffany's back again. I've got one.
10:48
What Christmas song would you put in room 101?
10:51
So you're not a fan? Oh, that's a good.
10:54
One, I've got one, I've got one that's Leona Lewis.
10:56
I don't even know what the song is called, but I hear it on, you
11:00
know, the Christmas radio. It's a bit of a filler.
11:04
I don't even know what it's called, but the the only 10 days
11:07
of Christmas or something, that's it I think.
11:09
Yeah, I think that's the one. Yeah, I've actually got a a
11:11
random one as in let's start listening to this one more in
11:15
the last few years this Christmas, you know, obviously
11:18
loads of different artists have have done their own version, but
11:20
it was done by Donny Hathaway. It's like a really cool version.
11:25
So yeah, listen to that if you get a chance.
11:30
I like. On a bit of a tangent, I like
11:33
run DMCS version. Was it cool?
11:37
What's that? What is it?
11:38
Run DMCS Christmas tune, you know it.
11:44
This is Ding it, wrap it. A car because of copyright
11:48
issues, but one second it's called it's you've heard it,
11:52
you've heard it. A lot of light trailers.
11:55
It's called Christmas in Hollies or Hollies Christmas in Hollies.
11:59
I was going to say one that, as might remember, like by Queen,
12:02
thank God it's Christmas. Freddy classics, right?
12:06
Yeah, there's Queen. Elton John has a good one.
12:08
Right. Walking.
12:09
Yeah, John Lennon's obviously. That's what that's what I'm
12:14
saying. There's the classic ones, but I
12:15
just. Yeah, that's what he's your
12:17
favourite player, like your favourite player of all time.
12:22
Felicia Navidad. Felicia.
12:24
Navidad. Great player, terrific skill.
12:27
Do you know which one I like as well?
12:28
It's on the last episode or the Christmas episode of The Office.
12:32
Boney M's. What's it called?
12:36
Mary had a. Like Matt?
12:40
Oh yeah. Yeah.
12:41
I don't know. Which one?
12:42
Lyrics. Yeah.
12:43
You know, each other, I mean. But shall we go to movies?
12:45
Then Steve, yeah, obviously shout out to Mariah.
12:47
Just honourable mention. I won't lie.
12:50
Oh, would you read 101? Yeah, a bit of unpopular, like,
12:55
I get it. Your room 101 in Mariah.
12:58
Yeah, I think I get it fine, Cool.
13:01
But it's just wet. It's just rinsed out too much
13:04
and I'm just a bit like, yeah. It's the issue, like there's
13:08
some songs where I think that's a great song.
13:11
Yeah, it is a good song as a. Standalone Christmas song.
13:13
It's a great song but it and it's ended up being played so
13:17
much so you just don't want to hear it again.
13:19
I agree. That's it.
13:20
I. Agree.
13:22
And I think that's the thing. But yeah, on to movies.
13:26
Sorry, I got to hijack the floor on movies.
13:27
I'm I'm putting Home alone one and home alone two straight in
13:30
there, no questions asked. If you say no, get out of here.
13:34
Strong. Strong.
13:35
That was very Eddie Hearn. Not really keen.
13:40
No questions asked Home Alone 2. Job Kevin Home Alone is the best
13:46
Christmas movie for me. I like it.
13:48
Yeah, I have to say controversial.
13:51
I mean, I'm wary of the jumper, but the Nakatomi Plaza Die hard.
13:55
Not controversial. A lot of people say Die Hard.
13:58
Well, people say, is it a Christmas movie?
14:00
I think that's the years. That's the bigger debate that's
14:04
out there in the world. But yeah.
14:06
Was it released at Christmas? Yeah, that's what I mean.
14:08
For me it's fine. But all, all about it.
14:11
In the movie, it's Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
14:13
They always bang on. About it.
14:14
Yeah, exactly. Even the jumper of the.
14:17
OK, OK, here. Here's here's here's the issue.
14:20
I've just looked it up. Die Hard was a summer movie was
14:23
released in July 19, 8888. Blimey.
14:27
Was it set in Christmas though? Like the only set in Christmas?
14:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but I mean most people, it's
14:35
like most people acknowledge is it will call keep it as a
14:38
Christmas movie. I think they do.
14:39
It closes with a Christmas song, I think.
14:41
Tell you what, like the other two spots that might be a bit
14:44
more tricky because I'm with Steve like I'm happy with.
14:48
I'm like 1 and 2 being in there. Little wild card shout out.
14:53
Not a great film, but I enjoyed it Is Scrooge to Bill Murray.
14:58
Well, I haven't seen that one, you know.
15:00
Watch it. That's good.
15:03
Yeah, this is. This gets tough now because it's
15:07
like, because you could say like classics, right?
15:11
Is it? Yeah, it's a.
15:13
It's a One life is the classic. Yeah, it's the.
15:15
I like ELF. Yeah, elf is good.
15:19
Like elf, Elf is good. The Santa Claus another shower
15:23
to the 90s It's. One of my favourites?
15:25
Tim Allen. Love Actually and the holiday
15:27
obviously if you like your ROM com.
15:30
Those are going in 101. I used to, I used to think Love
15:35
Actually was a great film and I'll rewatch them like, oh,
15:37
there's so much wrong with this film.
15:39
There's so many dodgy things going on.
15:41
By the way, Keira Knightley was I think 1617 when it was filmed
15:44
as well, which is a bit I think. I saw that meme one or two years
15:48
ago and it was like, yeah. Yeah, and then and then the
15:51
whole thing of her best mate liking her and then they end up
15:55
she ends up kissing him at the end.
15:56
Just. I mean, it's just a bit
15:58
unacceptable, really. The the guy who's the author
16:01
with this sort of helper that they never communicate at all,
16:05
but they're going to get married.
16:06
A bit weird. Is it?
16:07
Jeremy Irons has an affair? Yeah.
16:11
There's all sorts of so many bad things going on in this film.
16:14
So if we're thinking like more fun, here's again, Jingle all
16:19
the way. Bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
16:23
Strong, strong pick. Then if that's good enough for
16:26
Mount Rushmore, but. That's Is Trading Places a
16:29
Christmas movie? Yes, great show.
16:31
I would. I love that film.
16:33
Oh, that's. Great.
16:34
Yeah. Such a good film.
16:35
Steve, have you watched Trading Places?
16:37
Don't. Think so.
16:38
Oh my God, you need to got to watch.
16:40
That do it. Amazon I think.
16:41
Along with your book. You have to watch that.
16:45
OK. That's that's my birthday
16:47
present to you, that recommendation.
16:49
All right, cool. Christmas Day, get it on.
16:52
You've got a miracle on 34th St. Yeah.
16:56
Classic. Kind of, yeah.
16:58
Yeah, Laura likes that one. Trying to think I mean The Polar
17:03
Express for a bit of animation that's a good.
17:07
One, yeah, nothing comes on the level of Home Alone there, does
17:10
it? Yeah, I agree.
17:13
Actually true. Isn't it like?
17:15
Got all elements of greatness. For you guys, give up or you're
17:18
thirsty for more. Feel like home Alone.
17:22
Mount Rushmore is not the right thing.
17:23
It deserves its own statue almost universe.
17:27
Do. You know what I mean?
17:29
It's like the GOAT of Christmas movies.
17:31
It shouldn't be out there with sitting alongside three others.
17:35
I'm surprised you guys agreed so easily.
17:37
I didn't know if that was. Home alone to Brilliant, yeah.
17:39
Yeah, yeah, As kids like that was amazing.
17:43
Serendipity as a random like one off show, I think that was sex
17:47
Christmas. I think it was set at Christmas.
17:50
It's a ROM com but it's like set at Christmas.
17:53
Well, I'm interested, Steve, though you went home alone too
17:56
as well. Yeah.
17:58
Now my question is, is which one's the better of the?
18:01
Yeah, it's gotta be 111's the original, but really, No, it's
18:06
one. I think it's one.
18:08
I think it's one. There's no debate because what
18:11
he does in the House, with all the tricks and traps, you can't
18:14
beat that. But the same formula is done in
18:17
2 though. Like if you think about all the
18:19
elements it's exactly the same. Same with other films like
18:22
Hangover, they the exact same things.
18:25
Leaves them alone, has a has a House of traps.
18:28
Like all the traps are amazing. I mean they're obviously they're
18:31
really good in in two, but they're amazing in one, right,
18:34
because it's like micro machine toy cars.
18:37
And that's like, you know, for me and us, like that's our
18:39
generation and like blowtorch and all these random funny. 2 is
18:44
cool though, like being in New York in the Plaza Hotel.
18:47
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Trump in there.
18:49
And the credit card like say I, I don't voice.
18:52
Recorder. That's cool.
18:53
Yeah, I think they're both of them.
18:55
They're they're right out there. But I would pick the original I
18:58
think. And where would Home Alone sit
19:00
for you in your greatest movie franchises of all time?
19:03
Is it in there? Is it in the top ten at least?
19:06
It's got to be a top 10 surely? You'd think so.
19:09
Top 10. Yeah.
19:11
Would you put Home alone above Back to the Future?
19:15
Oh no, not a chance. I'm asking Steve because he he's
19:19
all over it. I do love Home Alone.
19:22
I think Ashley you got me you and has got me the boxer when I
19:25
was quite young. Yeah.
19:27
So you're not going to have Home Alone free in there?
19:30
No, no. Goes downhill after that.
19:33
Very, Yeah. I think, I think we're on about
19:35
Home Alone 18 now, aren't we? Well, that's what happens when
19:38
Macaulay Mcculkin's Not in Home Alone Free.
19:42
There are three great 3rd movies I can think of of all time.
19:48
Go on. I've gone yeah 2 already.
19:50
No one, definitely. Oh really?
19:52
OK, yeah. What are you go first, then
19:54
kissing. Dark Knight Rises.
19:56
That's a great cool. I hadn't even thought of that.
19:58
That's a great. Night and Dark Knight Rises as a
20:01
sequel. As is, yeah.
20:02
Yeah, strong. Great.
20:05
So I was thinking more. Yeah, but no, that's a great.
20:09
I was thinking Indiana Jones. The third film is my favourite.
20:13
The Last Crusade I think is unbelievable as a third film.
20:16
I think that Return of the Jedi is a great third film in the
20:19
Star Wars trilogy and I like I actually do think Rocky 3 is a
20:24
good film. I thought you were going to say
20:26
Rocky 3. Remind me is free USSR?
20:30
No, that's four, which is all four.
20:32
Which is probably the greatest. Fourth film of all time, Yeah.
20:35
That's I agree. That is the best Rocky for me.
20:38
For me that is 3's Mr. T isn't it?
20:41
Clubbing hang. Yeah, maybe the.
20:43
Hulk Hogan. That's it.
20:45
You've got, you've got Lang, you've got Hogan, you've got
20:47
Apollo, you got Rocky. It's brilliant.
20:51
He's got a lot, 4 for me is the greatest.
20:55
Plus if he dies he dies. But also that went a bit to
20:59
Arnie as well. But also the soundtrack.
21:02
What's his name? Eric Tapper, No easy way out.
21:05
That's very strong. Yeah, guys, yeah.
21:10
There's some great films in terms of soundtracks, right?
21:14
Nothing beats, obviously, the Transformers cartoon movie from
21:17
1986, which the greatest soundtrack of all time.
21:20
Yeah, so Stan Bush the touch. I mean, come on.
21:23
Even I've heard that track. I actually haven't.
21:25
Who's it? Who's it, Stan?
21:27
Bush yes, you have. You just don't know it.
21:29
Yeah, I must have played it at least.

First, transform a. Billion times.

So look, Christmas tradition wise often is a little quiz.
22:04
I'll be guys up for a bit of a quiz.
22:07
There's anything to do with Christmas?
22:08
Ash is the only one who can answer these questions.
22:10
No, I think it's a bit of miscellaneous, a bit of
22:13
football, a bit of GK general knowledge, a bit of Christmas.
22:17
I've never heard general knowledge called GK.
22:20
It's called GK mate. I think it Gypsy Kings like CBA
22:24
can't be. Asked.
22:25
Yeah, that's like what's? G if you're up, if you're up for
22:28
it, we could do a little bit of a little bit of a quiz.
22:31
I've got enough questions. It'll be 1 football versus so
22:35
starter is a football question Premier League of last year and
22:39
and then it goes to general knowledge slash random.
22:42
OK, let's play with it, see how it goes.
22:44
I'll come to you as first. Go to me and then if I can't get
22:48
it they can steal. Great stuff, I love the format
22:51
already. Then they have the first one
22:53
that comes in steal. And then they get 2 points.
22:56
Yeah, they get 2. Points.
22:58
Steal. There's ATV show to be great at
23:01
Air TV quiz. Bradley Walsh watch.
23:04
ITV we're coming for you, or BBC, whoever wants to sponsor.
23:09
Right as you ready. With a bit of GK or a bit of
23:12
football, what we got first. We're we're going football
23:14
first, football first. Start around hands on buzzers.
23:17
Let's go. What's the football question?
23:20
So who? Was the first Premier League
23:22
manager to be sacked in 2025. Absolutely no idea.
23:27
I've got four options for you. We've got, oh, thank God for
23:29
that options, OK. Juan Lopetegui.
23:34
Yeah, yeah, he. Went Sean Daish, Daish, Sean
23:37
Daish, Russell Martin or Gary O'Neill.
23:42
You've got 10 seconds to answer. I'll go with Daish.
23:49
He's going for Daish. No, you're wrong.
23:51
It was actually. Laportegra was sacked on January
23:54
8th. Diet was sacked the following
23:55
day one. Yeah, it was a double shit.
23:58
I mean, I would have got it wrong anyway.
24:00
Steve teenager Esteval has been an early sensation this season,
24:04
but who did Chelsea Chelsea sign him from IS?
24:08
It you don't need options for this.
24:10
Surely they do. BPSGC Corinthians or D
24:16
Strasburg. Shocking.
24:17
What are these options as? Well, these options Strasburg.
24:24
That rules out one option. Yeah, Nice guys, guys.
24:27
That's what's the for again O'mara's PSG Corinthians or
24:32
Strasburg Palmeras Almeras, who went Final answer, Final answer
24:38
wrecked. So for Chelsea in July 24th.
24:41
Steve, you can't be proud of that.
24:43
You should be able to get it without the options.
24:46
OK, well, all right, all right. It's a real game.
24:49
The real game. I mean Daish and Lapa Twenky one
24:52
day away kid and you give him Palmeras with Strasbourg as an
24:57
option? Honestly, PSG.
25:02
Over to you, who won the goal of 2425 season for their belting a
25:06
30 yard strike into the top left corner at home to Bournemouth?
25:10
Was it a Declan Rice, B Liam Delap at C Morgan Rogers, or D
25:15
Omar Marmouge? It's obvious that one.
25:18
That's an easy one. Is that guy Morgan Rogers?
25:22
Morgan Rogers final answer incorrect.
25:26
Marmouche only joined Man City. Right in.
25:28
January, but still had time to win the goal of the season.
25:32
Yeah, I don't even remember that goal, to be honest.
25:35
Yeah. So, so everyone's.
25:38
So I think I don't even know the scores.
25:40
Steve, Steve, Steve one. Steve got 1 Steve.
25:42
The rest of us are on 0. All right, here's a real game
25:45
you can try to. Start now.
25:47
We can start properly now. You can bring in the real host,
25:51
Bradley. Right, you're right.
25:54
Here we go. Oh, his.
25:55
Brother. What's his brother's name?
25:58
You mean his son? No, only kids and his brother
26:00
knows the answer. You're thinking.
26:02
You're thinking. It's Jonathan Ross and Paul
26:05
Ross. Jesus.
26:06
Jesus. Hey Sue, did you know Alan
26:09
Carr's dad is Steve Carr of scouting fame?
26:13
Newcastle. Yeah, back in the days, yeah,
26:16
yeah. And he managed.
26:16
Yeah, I've heard that before, Yeah.
26:18
He managed someone. Yeah, but he's mainly known as a
26:22
scout, so anyway, yeah. All right, back to you, as Man
26:26
City scored the most Premier League goals.
26:28
Yeah, 81 in 25, but who had the highest?
26:32
You'd love this XG. Was it a Man City, B Arsenal, C
26:37
Liverpool or D Crystal Palace? No conferring.
26:42
Last season. Man City scored the most Premier
26:45
League goals, 81 in 25, but who had the highest XG?
26:49
I'm surprised Liverpool didn't have more goals, so I'm going to
26:54
say Liverpool is my answer. Final answer, you are correct,
26:59
Liv will have the best XG of 68.5.
27:02
Wow, surprised city had more. Goals.
27:04
What were the others? OK, just quickly.
27:06
Oh, I don't know. No, OK, fine.
27:09
Right for a So, because you got that right in this round.
27:13
Yeah, if you get a bonus chance to win another point.
27:16
OK, a little Brucey bonus. Little Brucey bonus or Kizzy
27:20
Killer, we call it. All right, so the lion mascot of
27:24
the 1966 FIFA World Cup. World Cup, Willy.
27:28
Was World Cup? Was World Cup?
27:30
Who? A Winston, B Willy, or C Wilf?
27:34
Well cut, Willy. He didn't even have to wait.
27:36
Yes, you got 2 points there. Well done.
27:38
There you go. That's how you do it, Steve.
27:41
Yeah. I have to wait for this.
27:42
The stupid. Right.
27:45
OK. Is it?
27:46
Oh, gosh, Steve. All right, Steve, you ready?
27:50
No options on this one. How many days was and Posta
27:52
Koglu in charge of Nottingham Forest?
27:57
We deserve some options to be honest.
27:59
I've got no options here, no. No, make them up.
28:02
Just make them up the, you know, like just say some options.
28:05
Well, let me just tell you my thinking. 1st I'm going to say
28:08
in the region there's around a month, but I may it could be
28:12
like 40I reckon in the region of about 40 days is what I'm
28:15
thinking, 40 days. But no, that's not my final
28:19
answer. OK.
28:19
Just just testing, did he? Do more days than Liz?
28:22
What was Liz? Anyone remember tea something?
28:27
Badly. So Steve's guessing the period
28:31
that Jesus was fasting at Lent. Yeah.
28:36
There's a target show I'd give you a chance to steal on this.
28:38
I could give options so whoever got the gets the closest.
28:42
Right, So what can we? Still now or he has to.
28:45
Answer no. Steve has to answer Steve so
28:47
less. Trust less trust for you.
28:49
Just to give you a clue. Yeah.
28:51
Not like any clue at all but if that's your thinking, 45 days
28:55
she was prime. Minister, I reckon it's close.
28:58
I was going to say 44. Lewis Anderson's number.
29:02
Yeah, checking the kisses like eye movements as I say.
29:06
Look at you, you're sure to get clues.
29:07
You're just going to say all the numbers and then see what the
29:09
kisses do. I was.
29:10
Going to he's trying to look in the kids eye the reflection of
29:13
the number you. Can't to be, to be fair,
29:15
transparency. I mean, I don't know until you
29:17
add to it. OK, so this is like he wants to
29:21
be a millionaire. All right, we'll go, We'll go
29:24
44. 44 So let me write this down.
29:27
So Steve said. 44 Ash. I was actually going to go 43,
29:31
so I'm going to stick with that. And.
29:35
Aza, this is just like the what's it?
29:36
What's the kind of mean with Bruce Bruce Forte?
29:39
IRA Lower. IRA, Lower.
29:41
Yeah, high, higher than an 8, lower than 88. 843 I'm going to.
29:46
Go lower than 43. I'm going to say 42. 42 you
29:50
you're. Going to get.
29:51
Very smart. You guys are all playing very
29:53
smart. All right, I'm going to lock it
29:55
in Steve's answer first. The answer is 39 days.
30:00
So as you were right. I should have said that.
30:02
Ash, you need to score. You need to get on the.
30:06
Board. Yeah, get on the board.
30:08
Give me an easy one. Right.
30:10
Not bad actually. I think you get this.
30:12
Who was the oldest player to make a Premier League appearance
30:15
of this year? Was it a?
30:17
This year, OK. James Milner, right?
30:20
B Lucas Fabianski, C Ashley Young or D Johnny Evans Lati
30:25
Hell. Right.
30:27
Ashley Young is older than Johnny Evans.
30:32
Great, great. James.
30:33
James Milner. Yeah, James Milner could be the
30:39
what was Who was the other guy? Milner Fabian, Ashley Young and
30:43
Johnny Evans. I'm going to go James Milner.
30:47
Final answer, Final answer. He's locked it in, guys.
30:51
Oh, incorrect. Oh shit.
30:53
Fabianski, turned 14 April, made 14 appearance for West Ham.
30:57
Oh, he was 40. This.
30:58
Year oh that mean oh mil OK fine.
31:03
So you don't get Brucey bonus I'm afraid.
31:05
Back to you as off. So here we go.
31:10
And who is the youngest? Was it Rio no Gumois and.
31:16
Guma, Eli. Croupy.
31:20
Creepy. OK, creepy.
31:21
Junior Matt Stoneman or Josh King, who was the youngest this
31:26
year. To score or just play.
31:29
To appear, yeah, just appear this year.
31:31
I think. I think Max Dahlman hadn't even
31:37
hit his 16th birthday when he start for Arsenal.
31:40
Brio. I think's just past 16 going
31:44
going to be 17, yeah. So I'm going to go Max Dahlman.
31:48
I think he's like 15 years, 200 and something days.
31:53
Max Dahlman final answer, correct.
31:56
Well done. So you're absolutely right.
31:59
Oh, not bad with this facts as well. 15 years, 35 days when he
32:03
came off the bench against Leeds.
32:05
Yeah, he was 15. Which means you know what it
32:08
means. You got Brucey, Magnus.
32:10
The old Brucey I love. The Brucey here we go.
32:13
So this is a bit. Of a cuddly toy, if I get it
32:15
right. I'll give you I'll give you the
32:17
toy myself. The cuddly toy with the money
32:19
inside. Right, this is a bit of a random
32:23
general knowledge as I say in bread making.
32:28
Fuck, you know this is actually his set specialist.
32:31
He makes pizzas. Yeah, I know.
32:32
Because he's a pizza guy. In bread making, what name is
32:36
given to the process of allowing the dough to rise before bacon?
32:40
Is it a proving BA testing easy? Verifying, Proving the dough I
32:45
love. Proving the dough he got the he
32:47
got he got the answer. So you're on five.
32:50
OK, OK. I think we need to like raise.
32:52
He's not impressed. To raise it up.
32:55
All right, so Steve, over to you.
32:58
Which new which newly promoted club stadium is bigger, Stadium
33:03
of Light, Sunderland or Ellen Rd, Leeds?
33:05
Oh, good question. I'm going to steal this.
33:09
I'm in there. Yeah, steal.
33:11
I know Stadium of Light is pretty big.
33:12
I think it's 40,000 odd. Ellen Rd I reckon is probably
33:19
just on the phone. I'm going to go Stadium of
33:20
Light, Sunderland. Is Go Stadium of Light?
33:23
I like that and he is correct. 48.707 compared to Ellen's 37
33:29
eight. 09, just under 40, OK. 30, it's under 40.
33:32
No, it used to be 45 back in the day.
33:35
Ellen Rd Yeah. Is that when it was full of
33:37
sheep? Yeah.
33:39
So you know what that means, Steve?
33:41
Yes. You're about bonus, right?
33:45
In the 2018 video game Tetris Effect, how many lines must be
33:51
cleared at once in order to score a Decker?
33:54
He a Decker Hexatris? Is it a 10B60 or C-16 citrus?
34:05
K is 10, Hex is 6, so could it be 16?
34:09
But how does he get fucking proven of dough?
34:12
And I get this question. Should know about 2018 video
34:16
games, Steve. So is one of the answers 16?
34:19
One of the answers is 1610. I'm going to go 16 on the basis
34:23
of deck is 10 and hex is 6 so it could be a trick you.
34:26
Scored it, I'll give you that. It's, you know, well, it does.
34:29
Steve, that is quality, logical reasoning.
34:33
Love that, Right. That's actually good.
34:35
Yeah. That's very good.
34:36
All right. No bonus bonus.
34:38
No bonus Bonus. God, how many bonuses?
34:42
Right? Here we go.
34:43
Oh, ash. Which manager predicted his side
34:46
would improve their form due to the sound of training sessions?
34:50
Was it a Pep Guardiola, B Michael Arteta, C Ruben Amarim
34:55
or D Graham Potter? Glad I could get one point for
34:59
this quiz. Anyway, going to go with Michael
35:02
Arteta. Thank God, Amazon.
35:06
Final answer. Final answer.
35:09
Final answer. You're absolutely wrong, Graham.
35:13
Potter it was Ruben Amarim. Ruben Amarim.
35:17
Wow, really? Powerful.
35:19
Amazing. Is that right?
35:21
I thought he did Anfield. Yeah, doesn't sound right.
35:25
Hang on. The manager predicted his side
35:26
would improve their form due to the sound of training sessions.
35:31
Interesting. I mean, I got screwed there
35:33
because he he definitely played. You never walk alone.
35:36
Yeah, yeah. That's what I.
35:37
Did, but I mean, you know. But how have we not heard this
35:40
story about Reuben? We've heard everything.
35:42
I don't believe that story because it's not.
35:45
Hey, don't, don't, don't question the question, Percy.
35:49
The kids master can't even confirm right answers so I'm not
35:52
sure. 5 to as zero to Ash and Steve's got three AS Which
35:58
player took the most shots this year, A Erling Harland, B Bruno
36:02
Fernandez, Brian Ambemo, C or Matt Matthias Cunha?
36:06
D Oh, that is a great question, but he knows the answer because
36:10
he looks like every day. I wish I did no.
36:13
He's got the stats, he's got the stats up there.
36:15
Harlan takes a lot of shots, but they're high quality shots.
36:19
The others take a lot of shots, lower quality shots.
36:24
So Harlan scores a lot of goals, but it could be any of them.
36:28
They've all take and this is 2025 basically, right?
36:31
This year, yes. Yeah, 2025 taken a lot of shots
36:35
in 2025. I tell you what, I think you're
36:39
going to steal this one, Steve. Yeah, I'm ready to steal
36:43
whatsoever. Who are you going for?
36:45
Who's your answer? I am going to go for the obvious
36:49
one. I'm going to say Harlan.
36:53
Final answer that's incorrect. I'm going.
36:56
To I'll steal. But Ashley's come in with Bruno.
37:01
Ashley's come in with Bruno and Steve.
37:03
I'm not going to take Bruno because I think Bruno is a more
37:05
of a chance chances created man. So I'm going to go I feel like
37:09
and Boom has had a lot of shots even at United, a lot over the
37:12
bar, like the Villa game, which we'll touch on.
37:15
But yeah, even at even at Brentford, obviously before
37:17
United. So I'll go and Boomo get me back
37:19
in the quiz. Come on.
37:20
You're all incorrect. It was actually.
37:22
Kuno Yeah, it's hilarious. Holland.
37:26
Highlander scored the most goals, but Kuno's it took 103
37:30
and shots. That's fine, I've still got a
37:32
chance there on my question if I if I get to.
37:34
All right, over to you. Which of these players didn't
37:38
score a Premier League hat trick in 25?
37:41
Nice 20. 25 So it was a Dango Utara, Yeah B Chris Wood Yeah C
37:49
Jean Philippe Matet Mateta Mateta or D Cole Palmer.
37:55
So did didn't score a hat trick in 25.
37:58
So give it, give the names again.
38:01
Dango or Tara, Chris Wood, Jean Philippe Mateta or Cole Palmer.
38:05
So Mateta feels like he scored a hat trick, Palmer feels like he
38:11
scored a hat trick, Chris Wood feels like he scored a hat trick
38:16
from FPL. So I'll go option a option.
38:21
A or Tara or Tara chance to steal.
38:26
I went with Chris Wood, I think he scored a lot of double SI
38:29
can't remember a hat trick. Don't know if this is the same
38:32
with Palmer Ash Go. Ash Squad.
38:35
Yeah, I'm going wood as well. Well, the answer is Cole Palmer.
38:42
OK, no fair. It could be Cole Palmer, didn't
38:44
he? When he came on.
38:47
Are you saying as in like 2025? Yeah.
38:50
Yeah, 25. Yeah, no, that's right.
38:52
Now I think he scored a. Lot of doubles.
38:54
Didn't Cole Palmer? Oh, you know what?
38:56
Maybe Cole Palmer scored four goals, 2024. 24 No.
39:01
Yeah. Yeah.
39:01
Because he went on a dry spell at the end of last season.
39:04
Yeah. And and beginning of this
39:06
season. Yeah.
39:06
So in 2025. I wouldn't have got that right
39:10
because I I would have said A anyway because I'm sure we'd got
39:13
a hat trick because I had him for so much of 2025.
39:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is over to Ash, right Is.
39:21
It me, yeah, yeah. Which game saw the Premier
39:24
League's longest ever VAR check, in which it took over 6 minutes
39:28
to confirm a goal was at West Ham, Nottingham Forest, B Man
39:32
City, Brighton, C Aston Villa, Leeds or D Arsenal, Liverpool.
39:37
Do not have a clue. So Arsenal, Liverpool.
39:41
Yeah, that was a game. Aston Villa, Leeds, Man City,
39:45
Brighton or West Ham, Nottingham Forest.
39:48
I I really don't know gut feel Man City Brighton gut feel.
39:56
Gut feel, Arsenal, Liverpool, I just remember that them having
40:00
waiting around forever on something and I.
40:02
Don't think West Ham Forest for me.
40:04
I. Don't know if it was 6 minutes
40:05
so that sounds ridiculous. I wouldn't even know even if
40:08
that was the case. That's the problem.
40:10
So Ash man. City.
40:11
None of us know this. This is a random random one.
40:14
As you said, Arsenal, Liverpool and.
40:18
I said West Ham Forest. And Steve, you're correct.
40:23
West Ham Forest. It is, don't get a bonus.
40:26
On this occasion, you don't I'm. Afraid no.
40:29
This was a Steals 554 now, right?
40:33
You it's 50. Four.
40:35
Yeah, we got to keep it going. Keep it.
40:37
Going we got. To keep it going, catch us.
40:41
This is over to AS, right? Right?
40:43
Some players haven't featured so much this year due to injuries
40:46
or otherwise. But which of these players
40:49
played the fewest minutes in 2025, right?
40:52
Is it a Ben White, B Rico Lewis, E Kai Haverts or D Kobe Minu?
41:00
I'm going to say probably, probably Ben White, not a.
41:08
Good guess or steel if it's available.
41:11
Steel is available. Ash going with Kobe.
41:15
You're going Kobe, Ash. OK, what's the other two?
41:18
Rico, Lewis or Kai have it. Lewis, I'm going to go have it.
41:22
Yeah, that's a sensible 1. And Steve is correct.
41:26
So you're 55, so you're. You're you're ahead of the game
41:29
mate. You get this.
41:30
You won. Got another another question
41:33
haven't. I yeah, yeah, get this to win
41:35
it. So this is Steve, all right?
41:38
Nick Walter made has multiple nicknames.
41:41
Which is? Which of these is not one?
41:44
Oh, that's tough. 1 Walter Messy B Picnic C The Angel of the
41:49
North or D Golter made. That's brilliant, Big Nick.
41:57
Just repeat them one more time, please, Walter.
41:59
Messy. Just for the J Nick, Big Nick,
42:02
the Angel of the North or golter made.
42:05
Go to maid. OK, Go to maid.
42:10
Yeah. Go to Maid.
42:11
Sounds like the worst one. Surely it's Gol Tomade as well.
42:15
Gol Tomade? Yeah, because his name's
42:17
Voltamade. That is Voltamade.
42:19
That is incorrect. Definitely a chance to see.
42:22
I can't remember. The answers I'm going to, I'm
42:25
going to say because I mean, I know he's massive.
42:29
I know he's absolutely massive. I'm going to say Angel of the
42:32
North. OK.
42:33
Yeah, yeah. And Ash, yeah, I'd say the same.
42:36
Do you know what? You're both right.
42:38
I'll give you a point each for that.
42:41
Steve, you were. You were there, and you had to
42:44
mind again. So Ash, this is you've got one
42:47
point and this is your last question.
42:49
Oh, I've got another question. This is.
42:51
The last This is the last question I suppose.
42:53
So Liverpool won the Premier League in 25 but who has more
42:57
top flight league titles? Manuel Liverpool or neither?
43:03
Manu B Liverpool or C Neither. He knows it.
43:08
It's the easiest. Question that all quiz if you
43:10
get this wrong it. Gets me on the board now.
43:12
United, Man United. Really.
43:17
Yeah, I know. It's like the fucking really?
43:19
No question. Really.
43:21
That's incorrect. It's neither. 20 * 20 times.
43:26
I was thinking Liverpool had 19. Still see I live I.
43:29
Live in the past as they were me.
43:31
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
43:33
But as are you got that right? As are you got that right?
43:36
Yeah, so, so see. I live in the past, Jesus.
43:40

43:44
No. I'd I'd love the final scores,
43:47
Steve. Steve would have got that as
43:49
well, I'm sure. So, you know, Yeah, yeah.
43:51
In last place it's Ash with one Steve on five and today's winner
43:56
and this year's winner is As on 7.
44:00

44:02

44:15

But we should the real quiz. This is a real quiz.
44:46
If you get this the hunter right, all or nothing.
44:49
OK, we should have a really good question.
44:51
No, no, let me have where's one really good question?
44:54
One second, do you? Remember when we pulled out the
44:56
Oasis net worth dates like as part of the quiz?
44:59
That was I'm Real. I can't believe I thought we
45:03
were still. We had the mostly titles.
45:06
Yeah. I love that he was so confident
45:10
as well. It just, it just shows you how
45:13
much I don't care about Liverpool.
45:15
That's what. It just doesn't enter my
45:17
airspace honestly. It would have been right six
45:20
months ago, yeah. Ironic, isn't it?
45:24
We're still ahead post war, that's all.
45:28
I'm Premier League. Jeez, Premier League, of course.
45:32
Yeah, football only started in 92, so exactly.
45:36
Right. OK.
45:37
Do you want a last question for Christmas?
45:39
Christmas. For the win for the.
45:41
Win, win the real one, right? Go on, this is a Christmas
45:43
question and you'll have some time here and everyone could
45:46
only. Mariah Carey.
45:51
Right in the song. Wham.
45:54
Including Rudolph, how many legs in total do Santa's reindeers
45:59
have A 36B32 or C-40? So how many reindeers are there?
46:08
You have to give one answer. So what are the?
46:10
What are the? What were the options 30?
46:12
Give the numbers again. Yeah. 30 to 40 in the song,
46:17
including Rudolph. How many legs in total do
46:20
Santa's Rangers have? So there's nine reindeers, I
46:22
think. Are there?
46:24
See, I was, I was going to say, I was thinking with the with
46:27
aren't they 2 by 2? Yeah, that's what I was
46:30
thinking. So there'd be 8 and then maybe
46:33
Rudolph comes in as the ninth. Yeah, that must be the case
46:36
then. And therefore there's 36, unless
46:40
Rudolph only has two legs. And it's a trick question.
46:44
I'm going to say you've. Got 2 amputees.
46:46
Wait, wait, wait. It's the Santa's legs count.
46:49
No, I think it's specifically. The song including Rudolph.
46:52
How many legs in total do Santa's reindeers?
46:55
Let's go 36 nine times 4. Yeah, we'll go with the eight
46:59
reindeer plus reader. Yeah, plus reader.
47:02
They say a collective answer. You have to give an answer each.
47:05
But that's what. No, it won't be a team.
47:07
That's what it means when we're. Doing this one is all.
47:09
Right. On this occasion, you're all
47:12
correct. It is well done.
47:14
All right, cool. That's it for today for my part.
47:17
Christmas is over. Christmas is cancelled.
47:20
Merry Christmas you filthy animals.
