This week, Neil Channing is locked in and doling out the Christmas cheer on a special holiday season episode.

Joining our hosts Dara and David, Neil explains why poker’s premiere raconteur doesn’t have a podcast of his own. He reminisces about Christmases past when he used to play poker with the other Vic regulars and tells the lads a hilarious story about some bohemian shoplifting.

Dara and David remember some of their own Christmas parties from back when they had ‘The Firm’ stable. Dara takes the piss out of David’s inappropriately arty gifts that he used to buy the lads that they staked and there’s a tale about a drunken late night marathon walk home.

The lads also reflect on how poker has changed down the years before wrapping up with some thoughts on what a strange year 2020 has been.
