Paul and Scott have just ordered a Burger King delivery from Just Eat and are aiming to have the podcast recorded before it arrives. Like supermarket shopping while hungry, this probably isn’t the ideal time to record a podcast, as all they can think about is food.
Plus: Scott is planning vengeance on a seagull; pillows are turning yellow; and Paul hasn’t seen any Alfred Hitchcock films.

Paul is turning passive aggressive to anyone who doesn’t say “thank you” when he holds a door open for them; Scott is hanging out in LA and Vegas and hoping to buy a hotdog at a baseball game
Plus: hiccups…why?
(Please note that while Scott has hiccups at the start of this episode, they go away within the first couple of minutes, and this particular episode is saved from being an absolute editing nightmare...)

Paul can’t work out the connection between his chronic leukaemia and reigniting an interest in wrestling; Scott needs to stop living vicariously through other people on YouTube

To quote Noddy Holder: "It's Christmas!" Paul is at the stage of life where he's looking forward to watching Call the Midwife on Christmas Day; Scott's only Christmas joy seems to be a fleeting festive feeling in Greggs
