In the Extra Time Christmas Special, Dan and Jim discuss:

Ronaldo's bedsheets, sharing a bed with a squirming child, Christmas traditions, what marks you out as posh at Christmas, fun at the panto, the question of Santa's realness, the diminishing returns of the Die Hard films, Christmas school admin, parenting whilst ill over the festive period, liking music made by a murderer and queuing for the sales and much more.

Music from Mariah Carey mashed up with Queen, and the Ronettes

In this week's show, Dan and Jim discuss:

When Nativity plays go wrong, being a good samaritan, adult falls and unsympathetic family members: Tech Gremlins, Hi-De-Hi campers, Scarfaces and scarred bums.

Today on the show, we discuss Panorama, end-of-term-itis and how to survive a sleepover with seven 10-year-old girls.

PLUS:

Following on from the news on Open AI's sacking of their CEO, we discuss how to get sacked from jobs for doing nothing wrong, the worst/best jobs we have been sacked from, surviving the House of Lords and swanky awards dos

This week, Dan and Jim talk Christmas adverts, prop-buying for the telly and being propositioned by Michael Buble in the shower,

And how to turn down a generous offer to work for 1p.

Dan and Jim swap tales of Blackpool, whilst Jim explains why his dad's view of Belgium is tainted. They discuss missing gigs with Covid, seasonal affective disorder, Dad La Soulies on kids TV and whether or not you should do the school run in a wet suit.

You also need to hear the tale of Dan invading an art legend's dressing room.

Find out who they helped get to number one, why Jim is the Suge Knight of Ilkley and why 80s films aren't quite how we remember them.

Dan and Jim come up with a new political slogan that may or may not need some work, whilst chatting about what high school was like back in the day, the cost of school today, bunsen burner tricks, why Timmy Mallett is just like Ray Winstone, what a posh pit is, why you can't cancel Les Dennis, who would be in the UK Expendables and what life was like for Grange Hill Baddies.

Dan and Jim talk initiations for the parents of child footballers, when you become 'one of those people', the delights of Budapest, whether kids want to be social media stars, the 'truth' behind Jimmy Nail's name, the struggles of watching TV and listening to the radio in the 1980s, parents dating and flirting and knowing other parents' names (or not).

In addition, Jim has a new toy to show off, Dan learns the perils of leaving too long a gap and they both discuss the time they really angered a brand who were trying to plug their product.

Irreverent chat topics to take to the pub with you, funky tunes and the wins and challenges of the week.

Jim is flustered by the loss of something VERY important to the family holiday. Plus, how we used to do the school holidays in the 1980s, jumping over kids on a BMX, what had Dan in buckets of tears (and was it really related to Take That?), annoying Facebook felicitations, the first and second rules of Pool Club, not knowing other parents' names, computers in 80s films, the excitement of proper boardgames and why it's important to win against your kids. For now.

And Dan drops Jim in it with the Dad Joke.
