Episode 26 - Advent Calenders

On the first day of Christmas, your true loves give to thee…. A new pod from Dave & Kelly

Dave & Kel get us in the Christmas vibe with the start of December Special Xmas podcasts - this is Advent Calenders - your Best your Worst and your Ultimate Advent Calender - like if you could open a door a day what would be in it? Dave & Kel gives us their What We Learnt This Week before getting down to their Best and Ultimate Xmas calenders.

This Podcast also featured questions and insights from the following listeners:

BOB

Advent calendars for your dogs, should you do it. Personally I think its a must.

If I could have an advent calendar it would have an airline ticket and accommodation information for 31 different destinations. I really need a holiday 

ADAM

I had an sealey tools advent calendar once. Different piece of the tool kit each day. I now use it in the camper 

ISOBEL

I don’t mean to brag! But me and Harry bought each other a hawkstone larger calendar this year. Comes equipped with 13 beers, 6 ciders, mixtures of their vodka and gin, and of course some suprise merch. 

Safe to say, we’ll be drinking our way to Christmas this year!

JOHN from CLACTON

Growing up in the early 80’s, I remember my advent calendars just being 24 pictures of nativity scenes and the anticipation and wonder of each picture as they got bigger every day was something else. No chocolate or toys….just a bloody picture!! 

These days, my wonderful wife buys me 24 bottles of various mystery beers that are clad in wrapping paper and I pick one each day.  I know which calendar I prefer 

KERRY

Christmas has started when you start opening your calendars. 

They have definitely gone up in the world since I was a kid. I was well happy to get one with a tiny piece of plastic moulded into something rubbish. Half the time you couldn’t even tell what it was supposed to be but it beat a picture behind a door. 

In recent years crispy (her husband) has got me cheese, and pork scratchings (both winners) but has smashed it with the calendar for the ultimate coffee wanker. 

A packet of beans for my coffee machine every morning and a little guide with where its is from, what flavours it contains and a little marks out of 10 chart (which I will be doing) what better way to start the day! 

I loved getting milo the Lego Star Wars calenders. Although I think I mostly made the Lego and he was just excited about the figures. But then who could blame him, who doesn’t want a c3po figure dressed as Santa or r2d2 with antlers.

I think if I could have any calender I’d have a jewellery one. Imagine if Tiffany’s made a calender where you got something sparkly every day 

Chris Muzztree 

Create a life-sized Advent calendar this Christmas by knocking on a different door each day and asking for chocolate

Ep25. Small Wins. What are the small joys you enjoy in life and why? This weeks questions:

What did we learn this week?

If you yawn in a room and there's someone who doen't yawn too they may well be either a

Sociapath

or

a Psychopath? Discuss...

Getting out and meeting people - talking is good for your mental health 

Check your emails - turned up for a booking at the local tip only to find that you booked for a week later

Small wins

“That you both enjoy” - So this became a mix of what Dave & Kel both enjoy and their own personal small wins.

When someone values your worth

Having a shit day and something happens to change it

Finding a nice person 

Pull of a yoga move you didn’t think you could do

When your favourite yoga guru turns up unexpected 

Little things in life that give you pleasure

Finding foodstuff you thought you’d run out of

Like bread or milk

Public toilets are clean and smell okay

When the tall person in front of you moves before the show starts

Realising you didn’t send the angry email

Find some cash in a pocket you forgot about

Find a lyric or melody or plot twist or a line of dialogue

Get a royalty thru 

When you’re not looking your best and someone says you look good 

Clean sheets have been procured without your knowing

You beat someone who really wants to beat you

Find a tool for a job and it helps do the job straightaway 

Find a parking spot straightaway at the hospital

When you find your way out of a tricky situation quickly 

When someone thinks they are right and you prove them wrong

Find an answer to a question from nowhere

Questions for the listeners....

Isobel Parsons: Sock situation - pair all the socks in the clean washing - never happens, but when it does... and Dave said ones that go missing in the wash - then you find it!

Joe Cooper: Finding money in clothes you havent worn for a while

Wendy Parrot: When you get a chewy malteaser

Next week on D K & Why? Xmas Calenders - best ones - ones you'd like to have - Ultimate Xmas Calender

BOB

If you hadn't taken the career path you have what would you have liked to do? 

ISOBEL

If you could instantly master one skill, what would it be and why?

What’s your favourite childhood memory ?

TERRY FYING

Would you rather have your entire life broadcast live on TV, or live alone in a cave, up a mountain, never visited by anyone? (Can’t block the camera, cave would have plenty of food and internet access but could be dodgy in windy weather) 

HARRIET

If you could change one thing about this country what would it be? x

LEE TETT

Dave-would you rather be Prince William or Prince Harry?

Kelly-would you rather be Kate or Meghan? 

MEGAN AND RORY

From Rory- if you could live in another country what would it be and why?

TREVOR READY

Would you rather eat better or sleep better? 

CHRIS FROM CLACTON

For Kelly…..”i hear you’re the snooker correspondent on the pod? I was playing snooker last week and I potted the yellow…..however there was another ball covering its spot so couldn’t put it back there…..where should it have gone? 

SALLY BARBER

Would you rather do the right thing and lose, or the wrong thing and win? 

DANNY MAGNET 

Would you rather confess all your sins and be forgiven, but have everyone know what you’d done? Or have to do all your sins again but have no one find out? 

Dave asked Kelly what she would do if she won alot of money?
