Everyone welcomes this week's upset, a fish, very special episode. It is our twenty twenty Christmas spectacular recorded, live at king, place in London to an audience of zero. Literally, no one sitting in the room with us in this giant whole nor, of course, people live streaming. It and a huge. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the night from whatever bit of the world we live in. It was a really fun night. We had a lot of fun with Chris miss crackers and presents, and we did Q and At the end of the show fact, if you want to watch the fullest attended version of the showed that you're about to hear you can get Q. I dont come slash fish and buy a ticket to the stream and it's already happened, but you can watch the show and I'll be up there until the end of the year.

I love and we look what signal in the new year hopefully live and in person, but if not well, we'll still be here every.

On the internet, telling our favorite facts to each other and to you are right doors. We lobby merry Christmas and enjoy the shop. yeah and welcome to another and deserted no such thing as a fish. A weekly blood mass coming to you live from kings blaze in London. Already the chairs, and later about my native Dad Schreiber. I am sitting here with an addition, Ski Andrew Hunter, Murray and James Hardy. Once again, you have gathered round the microphone with our for payment facts from the last seven days and in no particular order. Here we go starting with

number one and that's my fact this week, my factors that every year in the UK, a joke committee gets together, to wit, down a shortlist of jokes that they think are unfair. the enough to put in Christmas crackers, Maison yeah, there's a company called Robin Read, which was set up by Guy called Julian Reed and every year, they get together a group of them, they sit in a room and they, each read out jokes and if it gets a laugh Julian reject It is a nice has not that's not going in, and is this big theory which I think a lot of people now, which is that the idea of cracker jokes is that they're not meant to be funny demand to be grown worthy because you don't want to. I select anyone at the dinner table of wanting to tell a joke if they know that they might

liver and it worked at a laugh and also, if you one of those kind of people who doesn't really understand, jokes, very well, your belt failing, but because you're not laughing, I have one else is laughing you. I don't understand why my think wedged weizman. They arise this didn't he whose, like a very great psychologist tools, it shows what Christmas crackers, but the idea is that you are supposed to blame YO tools No one is about workman. You dont humiliate anyone round the dinner table that they can deliver. Good jokes, so is all the jokes! Well, what is going on ass? The scapegoat escape check a guy who do thing last most a crack drugs who laughs most wish profession.

member last most attractive comedians. Don't laugh at any joke, so today, safer say that was good. Retort needs work, don't open whether there was a survey. They found a thousand people from ten professions. Ok to take part also, a hundred from each job right got ten kinds of job and the reactions are rated into a laugh, smile or nothing. Ok, and then they Robin Red, released the results of this study, and so the profession that laughed most was funeral directors. Then doctors than accountants, the vicars, with at least likely to live I company they got a hundred vicars at a hundred funeral directors seriously got them to do this research. That's a fund set, come surely that science loud they all get locks in orange and regular. In order to put these workers by the way you're Y know, We need all the while. I know why not cause was allowed to touch each other or even get close to each other. We can pull our own crackers

Let me pull out. I'm gonna tell you something about our main awkward silence. Now Ah, that lovely smell that is not really nice! Well off. I've got there. I've gotta go Jack, you ok, What did Adam say on the day before Christmas? I was born many many thousands of years before Jesus, so this really doesn't have any application to me don't touch my fucking apple instead, happy Christmas eve. I like nevertheless creation variation. You got it it's Christmas eve. Well done. I've got one who played it's his hands in the movie of the same name? Was it Christie, bail, Edward Norton, shown PAN or Johnny Depp? I dont get it now

one of those that you're not supposed to go. I think that we all know the way given facts as well, these trivial all right. Ok, if we ve known about these crackers years ago, we could go a lot of information. I've got one. I've saved that once the fact that before you got your records, are you really ok, here's joke remains a juggler exactly. Why did the oyster leave? The party early is either a shocking bout time? That's really good, though his existing ready shellfish jar. These are so much better than the lightly sexist one I've got left is the oil is one of the OECD. The body are yes, because he wanted to get up early night, early still here he pulled a muscle. Ah older must always stay so you say sexy as both a sexy I shouldn't sexy. Suddenly I have the world how I had the world record for pulling crackers on your own for free

short amount of time earlier this year, Guinness World Record this world record, as in the guy from getting. Was there a watch me too and counts it? How many I pull that I beat the welter of only for it to be beaten. Out three hours later by our Davis, now so we did it in a cue I rehearsal- and I was pretending to be Alan for the show, and they gave me two bucks the crackers and saw how many I could pull in the minutes and I actually smashed. And then because I did so many they gave island that extra box, and then he could be. My record said how many you get caught. I was too, full boxes must be twenty four: did he managed to make a call back to h Q, say log hearken down, or did you just made by altogether? I might have got really lucky that when they were printing the Guinness Book of records, I thought I'd see. I was just in that to our slots, wondering you kept changing the recording schedule. Did not I've got another to retract presentable.

Died within a day of each other in December. Twenty sixty this, our genuinely at a cracker, is carry Fisher and send to every Reynolds Ebby Reynolds. That's right, but to be honest, the funeral directives would pass them selves and curses is gone you're buying on time for them to be a Christmas. What have you got? A Johnny Depp I've had people dying within a day of each other. You just haven't got a joke out was a slightly different format and you can't tell that it was in fact in a joke. This is what has been holding back. We play the role of Nelson Mandela. Two thousand and nine film and victor is this. Roma people, I've got another. I've got another rob joke from Christmas crackers area. That is what kind of medicine does Dracula: take blood at the so you get this inquiry love your crackers issue. Club people will get this in the crackers issue. The answer is called in the medicine C, o n medicine doesn't make any.

that's right. So, according to my Parker, who is our friend, whose mathematician and all round goodbye according to him when computers right down the letters, F F, I ok, the F, F denial, kind of kind of squish together so, instead of putting them down as such, will letters on the road they have just an f f, I character. So it's just one code that they put in just four the F f. I now not all computers can read them, Not all computers know that when they see that code they're supposed to put ef, I saw some of them just miss it out, and so it's I to be coffin medicine, but Odin loads. Cracker companies have this particular computer system, MRS Out, the F F. I for years and years and years you'll see on the internet. Every people see this and the light. I don't get this joke all. What's it mean? That's so good you don't you mind. You allege that yours was excess. Even I wasn't. I must say it wasn't really, as I think it was sexy ex article. I decided, I think, I'm sorry. I was

nearer the muscle, well be listen, runs Tom TOMS mess, cracker company, so Tom Smith was allegedly the person invented crackers hundred fifty years ago, and his company became companies today, which still sells a hell of love crackers. supposedly runs. It said in two thousand and five that the only changes they've made any of the joke, since one thousand nine hundred and fifty is going to ever get to take out the offensive ones, That's why they seem quite day said: yeah she's. That is mainly things attacking the scottish and women attacking sorry charging and potentially events of way about scottish people and women, and they go for extracting that means for years they were looking at the top and Dracula joke going, that's good! That's it

it's not about zero learns if we should give a shoutout repeat attempted who literally wrote the book on crackers, not written a book with a history of Christmas crackers, and I think he used to work for the terms with companies. Well right, so he went. I think he went through the company archives, because these two crackers for everything it wasn't just a christmas- or rather, I think their release of Christmas, but they were themed every year. So, for example, in eighteen, eighty two, the crackers were featured round the battle of tell Elk appear in the anglo egyptian war, while nineteen afford had transmits Roscoe, japanese war crackers, I dont want evidence, but had a lot of these very themed runs around suffragette ones had spinster ones, specifically for spinsters, which included a wedding ring some faded five was in make up while robbing it and what it can do at the wedding ring. It's you, your rights,

It is our view that yet I even think of your husband's finally get lucky Christmas manages to almost a Jew. Someone then says: well I happen to have this wedding ring from a Christmas crack down might be what puts the martyr they also had, one for the discovery of the tumor, treating commune in nineteen twenty, but I was and in the same year, one that celebrated the prince Edward swell tall and it was advertised with you. Ve met the prince, now pull the cracker Africa such good, I'm so this time, Psmith Guy, is that its alleged that he invented it. and he got the idea when it was in Paris and he had seen that was in but get shops and get shots exclusively. They solve the guts only and that it was sweets, wrapped in one of those being sorted book, shelves that this is a tiny little again you ve got. This is going to feed the hold backs up. They were. They were next to the

gets they want in the begets, but he saw dinosaurs Alex really interesting. When I try to apply that back to my shot back in England, he did that it was inspired by the beget too, because often you get the tug of war tat no, but he its there's a lot of biology around that right. We don't. We don't know what the true story is and it sort of evolve over time, so the crackling that was supposedly he was at his house asleep by the fire and a blog cracks, and he woke up and when my goodness Barnes of Expectation and suppose it which is what they were called for ages. I've tried to find that tub bangs expectation I can't find it before but my sixty yes, I do, I mean it seems like mythology right is brought us appears eying. They were originally called pangs of expectation, but I dont think its true because they were definite gold cossacks for a while when they reach was panic. As the crack sounds like a cossacks whip and need to see that for those interests there, actually the the exact wording,

according to the myth of him waking up by the fire. Is he yelled bangs of bone bonds as soon as he woke up? That's that So while that would be great inside my weird but get thing, and then evolved into the cracking down from other bakeries. Now this is his mythology. Wasn't it wasn't a Smith? Yes and he he said the cracker, I'm genius, here's how I did it and he claimed to be the inventor, and I think I did it for me. We'd alien deadly did envenom. There was someone else around the time who was interviewed, by whom we may hear the journalists and eighteen fifty just before Thomas both came along and he was old gout Dente spot on the upon Nay grids, lovely I won't into than to them because of that name, and so even an italian migrant- and he came over here that he invented them any actually in the interview by whom we may hear he gives them an italian action which I won't, but he said where Rights Dome Utopia, yeah so is DE either its damn them right. It's pretty cool.

It. He said. Yes, I make doesn't aging crackers and I'm the only man in England skilful enough to make them. It lives in my breast alone, the full entire secret, and then he said what they use Before and he said what happens is up, policies. The pretty lady pull sudden bang and the like, he goes. While this is amazing that he kind of talking about the lady going on all that is both these dossiers will really prominent suffragettes. What made them become prominence, projects. We may never know the booking Ladys. One of them was marred enclave Senate and she was once imprisoned in Holloway for breaking the windows of the offices of the daily mail because they haven't reported a rally that happened in fairness. Newspaper paid her fine in the end than she came out

and while she was part of a group called women's social and political union, but she left them in nineteen o eight. She resigned because she really she thought of the people who are in charge really worth doing the job properly. And then I found separately that in nineteen o nine they made them step suffragette Christmas crackers the year after she left. That was that with such a slot that is a real slam, round. She took over the company's Burundi upon his company and run it and I've got a suspicion. I don't like costs aspersions on a tree feminist, but I think she might have just pretended to be suffragette to sell crackers facilities to put thus for the crack accompanying old suffragette newspapers? All it's a good. I mean it's a good idea because who goes when they see a cracker women, My lots of women suffragette rallies. It's up. Yes, knocking! Do not imagine if you love a cracker suffragette rally the uproar, the riot that what a broker but actually isn't that true about the bank that I read somewhere,

That's. It was on the Hum Psmith website that they used to put them altogether. Pull them, make massive bank to train soldiers what it would be like it was thought that website I mean that's amazing. the mobile. It was worth getting abused as a book of fire You can only imagine how unprepared you would be for D day fooling around the beat looking be a paper ground. Wait for the joke. Wait for the joke played we gotta move on shortly, Sal guards anybody a giant crack, a very quick. A man! Oh man. I think it's around the turn of the century, so the Burundian hundred that this myth factory they made an eight foot cracker, which was to be pulled by a group of towns led by the famous Harry pain at the jury like pantomime. It contains various things it that's so the sources all differ because it was meant to be reused overnight, but it contained a costume changed for the whole cast inside the cracker, several hundred smaller crackers, which were then handed out to them

the audience and then I must also say that was just a person inside the crackdown sort of child you just burst out of the cracker started, doing something flower but that's very dangerous, desirous nothing the child right and have been useful if you're spinster, because you have a child without having to say about spits disability. Does Native Drury Lane I've actually GO go one last thing before we move on, which is that the crackers I was talking about this joke committee was run by Julian, read so jewel,

red started this in nineteen: seventy five when he was a young schoolboy, he was obsessed over you gotta two pounds, fifty cracker kits and he made his own crackers and he started making them himself and he started selling them to local shops, built up and built up and he's become this guy. Who forty christmases later is still making crackers for the country over ten million over. So I actually emailed him to say, can you give me any extra facts about crackers? Some of this stuff? I've ready says about the committee in rejecting, but what is also done. Is he has read out to me some of the jobs aid through the committee this year that will be appearing in this year's Christmas crackers. If you get a a Robin red, you're gonna hear wait a minute, so this goes out actually the day before Christmas. So spoiler alerts, Yahoo, larger yeah, yeah, so yeah apologize. I really hope you resolve a calm medicine, one fifty thousand because

forget it plays Edward, says a house, so we ve become we become what's our bodies and he's been sending me voice, memos sizing here here, a few of the jobs that will be a pair. in this year's crackers busy Julian Red Sandro. Robbing me crackers: why did the donor seller retire? It was fed up with the whole business. What is the best thing about deadly snakes. They ve got boys in reality. What you call a man with a single on his head, cliff. got. It is annoying that from the voice of the jokes of crackers, right amazing, I do I'd like you to do

in for that, and we need to move on to our next fact. So it is time for fact, number two, and that is Anna right. This week is the in the eighteen aces to defend against attacks on the tv scenes. One priest issued knuckle dusters his congregation One thinks girl pretty easily round about this time. So this was there are a lot of riots going on around by this time in the UK from anti papers. So basically lotta people felt like the anglican church was creeping back towards Catholicism and the Pope doing also to things like putting decorations, doing with blessings and worshipping angels, and you know all that fun frivolous stuff that the protestant church didn't really and so when, for instance, people put on activity scenes and did this big ceremony called the blessing of the crib. They were often vandalized and ways to get quite violent and so there was a priest who, issued knuckle. Does it?

I we see them. If you go to cleaved in court, which is in Somerset, I think one of them The doses is on display that he issued to the people of this daily home to say: look if they start trying to TED annual activity. You have my blessing and gods blessing to correct them. in the South Maison Y yeah, I mean he must have been about a source loads of knuckle dusters, which is quite impressive. He had a love knuckle dusters around. In those days there were, but more common, whether she used to make them out of claims. I used to like make holes in coins and then put them together and be able to give someone a bunch of fives and so do we know if were used in a big battle. I don't have any idea was a big battle. Without the fear. So one of the main offenders of people who stop all these perceptions and stuff was a guy called Sb Andrew, whose at Manchester- and I was written in

story about him in the british newspaper archives, and this was in the sun in Thursday, the fifth of January eighteen, seventy one- and apparently there was a session going round and he tried to stop them from walking around. With this cross, a need to start them is seldom saw them and eventually they went round and then The next day they ve been try to put decorations up, and then he take the decorations down, and then he put the decorations up again and then take them down and they put them up again any take them down, and eventually there was a massive brawl between all these kind of church people and they called the police and the police came

Although the police came, but they said that they have no authority inside the church, so they all they could do was sits outside the church. While everyone was having a massive scrap and eventually no one came out, so they just left, but this guy did get arrested and fine five pounds yet so nativity thats, modern data, too busy thefts ends. Anyone trying to tamper with it is a big deal in America has got to the point where churches have been fitting baby Jesus would GPS tracking systems because people come in and they steal the baby Jesus whom they wonder. and a lot of people. I find it upset that baby Jesus is missing, but some of them are really expensive. So there was one church which is in Florida, which had life size, ceramic Jesus, which was a thousand three hundred five hundred sorry, a thousand three hundred and fifty pounds, hung operating of itself. It was it was very expensive and they wandered off with it, but it was a gps tracking system

which is the sooner this movement and Jesus itself, and it starts going Oh, you can silently follow without the people, knowing that this, the gps and thereby- and he was found- face down on the carpet of a woman, so they they find her sorry swiftly. That's engines that, faced out in the carpets of a war, so he was found it a near my house leg, face down a carpet, not tat, he Ceramic it's just something. I sang in the camp. Every Sunday said he He forgot. The joint, I think, has been a gandia no benefit. Companies such as first role was in a school nativity play like love, people yeah apparently pushed. every stage, because she was talking too long while it has told us that this video, outtakes for Sherlock are the same and the first news. If he ever running revenge but it was made by friend of the forecasts and Francis of Assisi.

guess who also have a friend of the package you gotta be. Oh, I wouldn't know: you'd have guessed now, never Digby erotic so Saudi, William how's it look. I gotta go. Volume has lit German Red Cross profession Much very whether people say. What's your ideal did a party, I would almost say definitely really of has let ever outdated, mainly Julia, that of cracker fame the conversation spicy. He can go up another what at any time, if any one loves Julian bands. No, it wasn't Francis front friends the book us and he's The first Zan little italian town and twelve twenty three he made this major anti God, dull that he cradle does. He gave mass and apparently the dull, so this was meant, haven't antiquities. The dull arose from its tunnel sleep as does easily in on cried real tears of joy.

Which was it didn't happen. Unplanned not sounds like Pinocchio tolls on in an eternal sleep, it's just not alive, then ruined I mean the Monday kits watching is now. let us hope, not great sputtering, all of religion, which is thus a different kettle of fish. I think that's too big. dull woke up with that. Imagine if you're a darling you wake up in your face down in the woman's carpet surprising thing: this is private quite dramatic the dollar, as well as what do with attractive making their way to the areas secure the asset and you gotta, Messiah complex Sorry you're saying I will say Francis of Assisi like I was mostly done, but it is the case. I think, is more true that apparently Francis himself was so moved by the mass that he himself was giving the ass. He spoke the word Bethlehem. During it. His voice sounded like the bleak

of alarm, which I didn't do. That was what happened when you're very moved by some lab earthly. Let him go We want to record we'd. Like me details a record of his diary. Did he say I was so good in the mass today that I said that, like us I don't know, I think his mate right. The diary direction, nativity, sheep facts come others did nativity sheep, and dolls actually so really works as a story from twenty eighteen. The sourcing is impeccable. Metro urges Amazon, has pulled a sheep sex stole from its website after a mom, actually they bought it for her sons nativity play. It was so ok, I don't really know much about sheep sex tells, but I reckon you could get away with it. Can you will? I know it's a joke gag gift right, it's fast, it's it's called. It was called a stag night,

bank in sheep and it has exerted she'd not realise. Where does she was? Actually? I think it was record, I think it was that of those customers also bought things. Joseph outweigh its basic with Kosovo, so anyway she says she's innocent to school, with the dull blown up, but they had a really big hole at the back end, and it was you know anyway, that I'm surprised the teachers new, but it was really, but they refuse to use it. They said the boy home and M cheat the woman at it said the boy who kept the sheep just so those harsh because they could have said if this isn't young light. It was a young boy. a seven year old boy, you right and you send them home because they ve done something wrong. You can't say the reason I'm sending you hold. It is because this inflatable sheep is doubly had sex with by people. You know what that kid doesn't know. What's happening low.

Although she she added her son had become really attached to it really likes. You said inferred of its right now she said he's probably in his room right now, stuffing Lego in the whole, I'm so sorry it runs ass. You do you do Mr Labour the highbrow my browser lowbrow here. Do you know who is very pro christian Christmas? The merry Christmas questions, the Pope, yet the old correct. I should I should have a place in the field of better willingness from your cracker trivia someone you and expect Richard Dawkins, ok, Richard Dawkins, very pro Christmas. We found this out in an article that he right was a letter actually in the new statesmen that was published, written as an open letter to David Cameron in which he wishes him merry Christmas, adding that he would not accept substitutes too, that no happy holidays,

no nothing. He said all that happy holiday season, stuff with holiday cards and holiday presence is a tiresome import from the United States, where it has long been fostered more by rival religions than atheists as a cultural Anglican. So he kind of puts himself is that he says I recoil from such second carols as White Christmas, rid of the Red Nose reindeer and the loathsome dingle bells. But I am happy to see real carols and, in the unlikely event that anyone wants me to read a lesson o gladly oblige only from the king James Version, of course, This crisis was they recover? My didn't even invite you may now he's non. Anyone can a bottomless pit Cameron Dawkins I'd, be fun, Having enjoyed. Did you listen said the crow? They just read his pro his pro classic I'm no, I'm modern. What am I talking about yeah? I love it off, so. You know people are always said other that Christmas. You know it's is not quite as religious as it should be.

Those someone who said this possible teaches even the little children, artless and simple to be greedy tend the minds of the young begins to be impressed with that. She's commercial and sordid that was written by carpet Dochart, Bishop Asterius of Amazon and four hundred eighty. Why maize in saying all just in as well? Is it that later than that, but not much? He was saying the stop giving people guess she needs good people alms. Instead, you know, gets charity stop giving get so that was right at the start, as at the start, they didn't really celebrate Christmas Christians because I'm like an early christianity, you wouldn't celebrate birthdays, cause it's kind of a pagan thing and such celebrate Jesus. His birthday was just ridiculous, so it was late when they did it and even then they were already say, and this is to commercial what whether any shops ride like one of those is four hundred eighty shops, though it is that of what you would give someone that wasn't wrapping. There will have been like

get shops and, of course, their voice through an exclusive begets. We gotta me, on Swine extract guys. Can I give you another just quick justice people who don't like Christmas with what it is about, the use of does not a survey of people and their skills Missy questions, so that was severe recently and they set of matched people who don't like Christmas with all the other attributes that they know about all the people on the database. So people don't like Christmas, more likely to say there is no point in getting married over half of my, just ended divorce anyway, but that that the more likely to say I think the Olympics is more financial trouble to a city than its word, and that also more likely to say I dont understand what many emerges mean: did they? only to be Richard Dawkins, K, it is time for fact number three, and that is Andy by factors that when asked this year, twenty one percent of people said they didn't want

Christmas Carol thing is visiting their home because of growing virus? Another fifty five percent said they didn't want Carol singers, regardless of corona virus. maybe just maybe those twenty one percent was slightly using the covert as an excuse, but it seems that people just don't want crossing allows. I hate them. I I mean I'd really like the sound of Can I get? Would you guys they didn't want? I would say I do want to hear it. I would say that this year I haven't really open my daughter of the numbers of delivery side, but we were that you if he was singing at the same time if he was in human capital closed. You have actually become quite good friends of that I was a deliberate guy now another blow up. MR knew. Only thirteen percent of people's obeyed actively did carers must have got out of eleven percent. Brenda, don't know camp but indecisive. While there is a bit of a whipping of if you're, the only audience standing there

are you for adults all analysing? It is awkward outcome. you ve done at a machine like that, were literally trigger, so we don't want any hundreds. What I wouldn't give one audience men the right now there is a thing. Let me well, don't like them, and there was kind of approach in two thousand and nine those this thing it was in place just opposite Preston where neighbourhood watch distributed. These cause they put into people's letter boxes and they gave mine cafes and progress and stuff, and they can't you can put your window saying carelessly We're not welcome that house. If there is one person I stay called Carol Signal feel awful. She lives with the bill because I believe that the text I actually was looking out Carl figures in the newspaper, aka bridges over archive and the only one I could find with Carl Sagan, who was brutally murdered about a hundred years ago, ready ruined myself well to be first the word the retreat, separate additions. If you do searched newspaper archive full curls,

Inga, shot the wood twice that that did happen in history. Thirty years apart, one was in nineteen. Sixteen in Newcastle there was a guy called John Next, who shot someone who was Karl singing outside this house. Apparently they were kind of friends and they might have been, I think he might have on the poor boy. You don't look somewhere near a pub they'd been drinking earlier that they then they decided to Carl Sagan. Then he decided to shoot the weight so that what they say together no, he was that they were singing out his property gotta, then another one in eighteen. Eighty six there was the rising sun in Clayton was a pub and again the landlord shot someone because they were crossing in so it's very dangerous, dangerous thing you're in the turn of the night. Once that, while the weight of the Higgs goes back a long way so if you let them, they were in nineteen o six. The leading article across the papers of his big thing about whether causing was a very annoying and they should be bound altogether- and there was a pause

written, luckily the peace in in, like the best Ceylon, see newspaper or something things, we love curls, and this is really unfair and publish the less physical enrichment and they with furious. So all these letters in response to publishing this thing saying let crossings the Han the surely one of them said. I dont think the right kind of experienced first hand the bands of Carol sing, as so called the visited this town, the past few christmases another, this is nineteen o six said most of us have parents. That would be inclined to call it not Carol singing but Carol, howling or Carol, murdering wow. I was only twenty years after they had been a carol. Murder says pretty in sensitive areas, eighteen, eighty seven and the Essex newsman summit said the singers unsuccessful little better than rowdy burlesque, drunken or half drunken orgies

that is quite good suddenly to open doors. Spikes excited singing worshippers. What's while you told us that it so, it seems we think about Christmas, music is learnt, nothing, people really don't like what is too early. So another survey. Do you enjoy hearing Christmas music a month before Christmas, so November? Twenty fifth r? U up red four percent said: yes, I'm up for it, the other. Ninety six percent were not up for it or maybe they were donors. But five percent of people surveyed didn't want here Christmas music until the twenty fourth of disability that five percent surveyed more than were happy to hear in the end of November. I nothing until the day before Remember when you guys run a stray Leah with me for the tour fish and we went to my parents house- and it was, I think, may something like that. The only thing my dad played was Christmas: music.

Is that what you know remember I remember that I I remember that is a day. It was a lovely day is a lovely day and is probably made better because of the Christmas carols, but for some reason the only playlists that was coming up, Genoa Ivan but why they did the while I remembered wiring apparent, is my birthday. We when those special birth, a treat to celebrate that they must do quite me with the Messiah, make one all before you where they stand, why don't they? the reputation of being brought. You, though they were banned by the church multiple times and medieval christmases were generally really that role curse and it was the twelve. days- were basically or one big pagan drunken mess, and a lot of the criminals at Holly and the ivy was actually a pagan fertility, dance they think or late, so it so. It would be accompanied by dance moves and I've read things say, maybe the wholly in the idea quite with male in feed

I'll genesis and- and if you read the lyrics with that in mind, things like the big thorn, that's mentioned in Bonn, verse three, Do suddenly sound quite wrong. She and you can imagine the congregation dancing and a bit of a so beyond, say way. That may be a tenth century priest. My objective one I think, that's why they do to Carol singing round two houses rikers. It was banned from churches and I can kind of sea if they're all doing sexy, as a great one in Sri Lanka and twenty sixteen, the church accidently printed the wrong lyrics for Ale Mary. They excellently prince it to Pox version of Hail Mary, so they all had the lyrics and it When I think where, when you, when you read the lyrics, have got them here, there's a few bits word like it says this blows like a twelve gauge, Shorty or shot a rather than so again, but twelve days, kind of Amelia thinking. Ok, as it's Christmas Eve, the sense Christmassy fail me

and God said he should send his one begotten son. I mean he's fail me, like you, feel Jesus yeah, exactly spirit and eulogy. So imagine they got in quite a few versus entered before realizing Tupac was behind the limits the song silent night, usually written by two people, the lyrics written. By a guy called, shows. If more, who was a priest in Salzburg and the music was run by an organ is called friends Gruber whose from a village called on Darth became very popular. Of course they both diet, as people do in nineteen twelve over spoiler too soon to talk about is that was just another one. For the funeral directors in nineteen twelve, the Austrian the tourist office decided that they wanted a memorial for these two writers.

loads of paintings of this guy called Gruber would know paintings of mark, as he hated having this painting them, and so to get this to get this sculpture, they dig up his grave take out his skull so that they can make a sculpture of him as a sculpture still? Were they reinterred the skull in the chapel? Whether sculpture is but that's going along? Why isn't it subsidies interpreting the woods sculpture? it's insane modal did they just sculpture of then this How did they put fresh over it? I think they must have got the skull and gum. Well, he's gotta, you know he's got Jake Bobo had has, while not liking, having a portrait done in life and then imagine if he could have known that after that it would dig up his body to do the thing he didn't want done. Probably would have acquiesce to one in his life's ivy. Feeding Gruber such good neighbours is almost exactly

villain of dying. I, though, how this theory, but when went because I've never seen die hard by. Do you know about that, and when I saw this guy was called friends Gruber. I genuinely thought I was heaven I was like this is the best silent. Night was written by HANS Group of eroding the MECCA, Toby Plaza, building the guy rose, I lanai apparently did it because the organ was broken and he needed an emergency to come up with the tune in time for Christmas, and neither is the EU, it New Salzburg, and so he was a thicker. Wasn't me or a break they went to this charter is working as judge, and the old man was quite quite crap. Didn't work, and so he was very good at the guitar and instead of a supposed be accompanied by the get saw in its early days and then more capella bought, and it was so popular within thirty years It was a version along Labrador Coast where was translated into enough to it, as in like a new language on thirty years, my God,

And you know why they went said the organ, so they were playing on. The top of the guitar was banned from churches. It wasn't seen as a church instrument. She could only allows place certain instruments in church. He rose on the guitar, they won't. Let him play its. We played outside of men. That's why he s got the organist in the you know, those guys I didn't carols used before all occasions. Much like crackers. They were just theme differently, so that were Easter. Carols there were new. Carols is the one for the anglo egyptian war of eighteen. Whatever it was. Ok, there was that there was a of adding parallel. There was a carol that was written after the battle of Africa in fourteen fifteen, not for it when was running out there with a guitar those I think they waited till the result was in before they commemorated. Song is otherwise us cocky in Second World war crossing is kept going, but they were bit restricted and so to be saved during the blackout in Britain and Well Butter in London specifically,

they want allowed carry lanterns around with them when it kind of light. So they could not. She read the hymn sheet said old and new, see them. obviously the open the door. They also issue with a government warning that they mustn't warble air raid sirens bad thing they give. You can't tell it develops through the current thinking that I write silent people flocking to the underground to strike at the door. I suppose I bet that goes blood. That's suddenly like Athens earlier and we ve got to move on a guy solve our final fags. While I was searching for Colonel Single shot These paper I gave across an art in the sun from Thursday, the fifth of January eighteen, seventy one and they had a Christmas cracker jokes we're here, just as we did before what ancient author is supposed to

Britain, a treatise on plum pudding, I've gotta viewing is its Tony its sue, it's only as long as it does in the sun in eighteen, haven't seen lots changed that many sick and just for for anyone it watching. He doesn't get that. We explain what that means. because I think that our society is a type of pastry bits, Meda of animals in its. So it's only has visited rights. I must go right. You're welcome here, in the same article by the way said, a noticeable feature of Liverpool police sheets on Monday was the fact that only sixty six persons had been books for being drunk and disorderly. good others, so lecture is occasionally move onto our final faggot all rights. It is time for our final factor the Show- and that is James. Ok, my father. week is that's. Jim carries make up for the Grinch was so

onerous to apply the studio, brought it one of the CIA is experts are enduring torture to help him get through it. So yeah this is about Jim, carry the making of the Grinch, and he- had so much make upon. You said it was like being buried alive. The main guy who is in charge of it was run. Howard, the director and he had upon whose producer called Brian Grazer, o Brien grace. I had a friend who was from the CIA and he was a specialised in the kind of helping people get three torture and he spent the weekend which him carry saying. This is the way that you have to sit through hours and hours. Now is eight and a half hours they had to sit there have in this make upon thats a law. He got taught how to do it and carries out at first that he thought it was quite hilarious in the end. You know it did the job in and they made the fell because he said that he wasn't gonna do the film here. He said this is too much. He said he had to sort of become Zen master. He had to train himself to just be at peace.

The guy, the CIA guy, had to teach him a lot of things. One of the main things was distraction. He was saying and there's a clip of Jim carry talk about this in the Graham Norton Show. Where really goes into it, re says you just have to punch herself at times, just random discover it take yourself in lag before somebody just get up to check something. Do something very different He did a lot of smoking while he was doing it. This is not describing the Zen monk that I, The stress of it with the smoking was just to get through. The stress with the problem was, is that he was wearing this really think Grinch suit, which was made of yak hair, and so he I too have a really long extended pipe, so he was sitting, but what sort of going on so that so Doktor Ccs? I visited yeah yeah, but then, of course the movie did go once when the Oscar for best make up. So is our wealth at me and is it? Is it would have been happy about the best make up Oscar because it feels like it's a bit of a slap in the face. Literally, the saying all the stuff around your body is award a new knowledge yeah, but out beyond

I don't think that his some bombers in a grudge probably was gonna win best acts. yes, the I started I started watching. It has reserved for this fact, as you and I can say that I see the first six minutes at the foam. Would you just gotta make up is observing the best act. Around edible make up is incredible. Yeah yeah, regardless of the moon, got so the guy you did, it could cause you. He rode synergy and he's an amazingly legend of the make up world and he said that the car it was a bit of nightmare to work with the term sounds horrible being, as my colleagues have already ready restrictive, but carry apparently sometimes said, you're painting a different color to the color. You paid me yesterday and synergy. Obviously but wanted to say. Why would I do that? Why, on this big budget, only would give you a different color illustrative used I'd watch it wait. A minute, sweat for green seems to agree a caricature that you're gonna fix it. You gonna fix,

This says, and he said in an interview, so I fixed it- I kept at the United States, I fittingly. Actually. I think he only check that job in exchange for a green card. So if anyone you by the collar green, it was this guy who really really really acts, not quite that actually, no, no, no, I got not been decisively later is not why he took the job. He took the job because he was offered it, and this would be great. He was doing the job, but the stress that Jim carry put him under during this job was so intense tat. He had to quit. Me actually had to get a bit of therapy, because Jim carry with kicking his foot through This is before he was then monk like and had a CIA guy come, and I think he really the guy this Make a party says he was a real dec on the set he was. He was rude to every one he was and Jim He goes very method is hard to know if he thought he was the Grinch and he was embodying that character,

bigger scale. While we does a very famous documentary which are mentioned in second, but just to finish that he basically sent the sky off the movie cause, he was so traumatized by Jim, carry how we spoke to him and everyone else. So he was off for a couple of weeks and Jim Carry called him up himself and so did RON Howard and said. Please come back. I've worked on my temper, I'm send like now. Please come back and do it and he said: okay well, his friends said to him. Why did you do it for more money? Is everyone asks for more money, but anyone, ok I'll, tell you whether older. a green card and that's how does it work in America? Gotta? Yes, yes, but though I think they didn't even given the green card until he got, the master is one thing the batter or the Oscar knows Basta weirdly, but it was the fact what it said. He was quite big deal once the factors in America. then, in that one year, oh I'm, so you come out of the make up and they gave my green cards, for that are the high, but have to have to pass.

Stressful, so they are the maybe a talking about why he goes method is skull. Jim and Andy is that while the movie was man on the marriage or he plays Andy Kaufman but yeah, there was a document, they did a document. You always live out, but he got the job while he was working on mountain the band and he and all three. Guys all who was docked suit? His wife went to visit him while he was doing that movie and try to decide if he was gonna. Who's gonna get the job. Well now he was doing this movie pretending to be under Calvin and was so method that he wouldn't respond to Jim carry. You would only respond to Anti Calvin and he would just pretend to be him completely. Basically, for the whole making this movie, he was Andy Kaufman, and so, when Audrey Guises Keynes winds of you him and said: do you want to do the Grinch? The only wait she could find out what he would be like

as if Andy Kaufman did an impression of Jim Terry, who is doing an impression of being the Grinch. Yes, while yes, there's a dog in the Grinch Grinch has a dog at its looks pretty normal, certainly the first six minutes. There are some interactions between the groups and his dog I found out later. The dog is voiced by human, didn't use dogs, that's discuss, arcs, its putting dogs are business. Women's gap is gonna called Frank welter of Frank Walker, yeah, ok, Zito loved Frank work is probably not more. Hollywood box office hits behind him than any actor alive. What you re age claim, each swell

So this is the thing he does have forward like dogs, because he also played Scooby. Do again, maybe that's the thing. Can I go to Frank workers? I am deeply. He is the most successful actor on earth. I can't believe this is surely we have heard of it more focus. He does voices it's like Anti circus before we found out his name, and he was galling king, Kong and yeah. What this is about, the original grin try, the Raven scoffed was the voice of the Grinch, he was turning the tiger and lots of other people, but people didn't know that because sort he suddenly Grinch songs but Boris call of was the grudges normal voice circle which what that will call that he was frankly time: I'd, let the mummy it very cool, but then he got all the credit, so is reported as him being the grins where's, the main song was sung by Tony the Tiger. it was great I'm can I give you another joke from our crackers earlier on Yo Yo, you saving one. Yes, this one! What is the name of the game

She's dug a ban be MAX. see some of the body is it your notes? I literally what's the film and I have a note about the dog, and that is the one. Who knows I'm sorry, I'm going from MAX. Oh I'll say We done those the uncertainty, but I will go to something else. If you like, I say body has been at all, but everything on buddy. It's max. I think that the current wasn't green regionally. He was black and white with think eyes. Yeah, I'm not that's with pink eyes with pink I the medical condition. I doubted that wasn't one of us about that night. No, certainly not those who do not color green. He is what shade of green is. There are particular Grinch Green, stopped, disuse, demanded kind of its ugly car, and that's not a specific green, obviously, but the director of that film, Chuck Jones was inspired to use that color green because he had this ugly car that he rented. That was this horrible shade of green

and he went actually. That would look amazing on my Grinch than that of any pick that exact color and put it on the grand should actually speaking of Grinch related Cause, Audrey guys who we're talking about. Suddenly, she died of couple years go by the age of ninety six, and she ran all of the doctors Zeus Estate for quite a long time. She had a cadillac that she would drive around with with the number plate that red Grinch Togo is grins, post is sort of reformation of current told free is well. I don't know, I think. No, I think deep down the Grinch is a good guy who is misunderstood the star right, because there are two kids too little boys called Bobbin David Grinch from New Jersey. They won't let it adopts a soothsaying ever make fun of them all the time because they called the french brothers and he robots

some say: no, the Grinch is a hero, a changed man tell the other kids, it's not what you start its work. You end up that's a hard message when your head is being flushed, our materials articulate looked into some make up a little bit of my movie. Make up some fear, so traumatized make of experiences in films, and I think the price goes to the person you played the tin man and was a divorce originally, who was body Epson that so that tomorrow is a divorce? Was, extremely intends as one of those took five hours, but that make upon every morning than five hours? Take it off again and you don't know when they even got the acting in and eventually he got really ill from these elements are empowered to fumes. He was an ingesting inhaling and he was up in the middle of the night screaming and had violent grumpy all over his body and it was brought to hospital? It was in this oxygen ten four weeks and the point he didn't have a heart.

you, the terrible thing is Andy's. Euler alert did have a hard all along. I think on it. Oh God has been a ten mile zone. Does he got ten We know that terrorism ones, how do they had the film is better whilst its I'd say that I'd be really surprised FED with that. I think that lesson as he doesn't need hearts. I think, does he get like a medal of a hot or that the courage for the lie? Houses of people become a discreet right now. Guy, sorry, sound well he's didn't need, hardly didn't eat the use of his lungs, which did not for awhile and his skin turn blue and the sea it wouldn't believe it so the studio will. I know this is rubbish to dismiss come back in and they actually sent someone to the hospital. I think what is home on issues of emerging from this coma to say you ve got come back and do the axing one said no, no, he really is in a bad way and

they replace him and not only do they replace them with this guy Jack hailing replied the tin man, but they never told Jack Kelly. Why the love of God, who make up facts about the Grinch, missed a great Mr Rynch make up, because here too, so he's done if you think that he did man in black, you know when the guy's, a sort of a cockroach turned human twitchy. Others get Dying he desired. The silicon live twitching silicon and it was, I think, silicon gel silicone implants gel on, because I suggested that it Benjamin Butter is also stuff, but he also came out of retirement. Do Churchill? Does Gary Old man was playing Churchill in a few years ago and if uncle anarchist our, and so he did a wig forget yeoman, which has a very specific thinkers. Churchill was

its use of mid sixties and the more I think I can you guess, what used for Churchill's very fine half that vessels life well, it wasn't piazza and keeps on come on, So of course it was worth it your minds eyes. What is it because it what does it somewhat less good than that, but it was. It was babies, right to mimic. Only so he was the bodies that babies here is the most expensive you can buy in the world, because this very fine, a very thin and his head, he was quoted. No one is killed alarming way. To start talking about this, smells like those protesting way to wait. Two sides, though it is guilty, No one over the age of two new is careful to baby grows, and sometimes they decide to cut it

but his boots sofa and it's for the headlights for the headlines of New Harry headline is final and three so fragile here to make a new wig every ten days, because children the aftershave we ve gotta, we gotta wrap up guys we ve gone. We ve gone way further than I should have been alive. Stream so mark just more Christmas, maybe someday quickly. They, I am be top hundred Christmas movies by rating is If a life, how the grids stole Christmas, which I I was gonna, be the one that we were talking about is actually the noisy sixty six. While the other was talking about Charlie Brown This message then die hard, which is a controversial one right, because some people think it's Christmas. Some people think it isn't that the villain did right silent night, so tax that's. Why is it that way? So I read an article, a scientific article by us, a deer car called every stay in a story. The many dirty undershirts of John Mc Lane and die hard. He says this article six,

of the thirty four under shirts one by one. swell. I said his stuntman in the night eighty eight actually build diehard. Ok, they all of these things and they tell you exactly what they mean and all that kind of stuff, so the dirty undershirts according to us aid they occur, is a symbol for injustice and class in other films such a street car they desire Rocky and Rambo its further tightened male sexuality of violence and film, such as body and Clyde Cruising and White House down, and they said that all these from shirts. They were all stained in a slightly different way, so that you know which ones where all the different parts of the movie right had some that are really unstained Sunday and they were old numbered on rail and he would like I'm gonna, have number twelve today

right and all the stains where specific to things that happened and according to the article was applying design process in which no state was accidental, thought is really cool. The unknown wasn't meant by a crazed that was written by someone that that's like the US is written by an academic year. So friends one of the shots in the Smithsonian, now sign kind of look ass. Well, these doubts over the most diverse to carry out these absolutely mullet and dna, but Odin you'd. Never consider that. I assume. That was why how long was I really wrong? Ok, that is if that is all of our back. Thank you so much for listening. If you would like to get in contact with any of us about the things that we have set up, the horses ass, we can be found on our twitter and hounds I'm on dry land. the under hundred James James Hearken and Anna. You can email program that Kyoto come up or you can go to our group account, which is that no such thing or a website, no such thing as a fish dot com with all of our previous episodes up there, as well as a bunch of other stuff, we'll see
