The woke mind virus has been replaced by the Tate small-piece, snowflake syndrome. Seemingly all over MAGA and Reform.

[@jeff__w]

Merry Christmas, everyone! And congratulations on your new flat, Laura!

[@evildude951]

Hear me out Ava, most Christmas traditions are nicked from European pagan holidays that the church nicked for their own purposes. Without the story we'd be celebrating Yule.

[@1pauljs]

Feelings don’t care about your facts 😜

[@Space_Plays6259]

Merry Christmas to all those who work at PoliticsJOE💙

[@reverendroar]

28:16 Christmas at PolJoe everyone! This image frozen is as beautiful as a Renaissance painting! Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!

[@reverendroar]

13:16 I think PolJoe should interview Santa next December about his political views and immigration policy

[@wyles965]

Merry Christmas Poljoe!

[@jameswarland9710]

Ollie taking cover when Ava spilt the Madri, good job he didn’t have to go to the Somme UWN

[@tommakesthings6249]

This episode is desperate. Related, really enjoy what you do I think it's excellent.

[@Yakkahboo]

i cant believe Ava spilt her Madri all over the greenscreen. Shocking.

[@Stuboy]

Merry Christmas to you all 🎅🎄

[@reverendroar]

I’ve only watched the first 7 mins and I can’t believe that a school wouldn’t teach RE festivities like Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah and Diwali. I’m in my mid-20s, not religious and I went to a C of E primary school in the middle of rural midlands England - we celebrated all festivities including Eid and we were taught about all mainstream religions by local worshippers (dependant on which religion we were learning about) and our RE teacher. Like sure we had creative nativities where we’d sing and Joseph and Mary get monologues but like we didn’t have shrimps and that. I get they’re children but we’re teaching them people’s beliefs and human values you get out of faith. Like - let’s celebrate our diversity not hide from it. Also that C of E school had only one Sikh, one Muslim and two Hindu students out of 300 students. Like - our teachers could have just focused on C of E festivities but if anything they showed how committed our teachers were to educating us about our society and about how we should embrace each other as a community. Let’s embrace one another through the fables of faith not through fictional adaptations with unnecessary characters

I’ve been watching this podcast for over a year and this is the first time any of you have name dropped music I’ve heard of, shout out to Black Pumas tho

[@KingpinFox]

Madri and Pringles. This will be a good one

[@petemarchetto4998]

Can I recommend fellow punters play back The Can Incident at 0.25 speed? Quite the most delightful experience I've had this Christmas Day.

[@benadams6019]

Day 85 of asking for a production team microphone.

[@veganbarnsley15]

Have you tried asking nicely?

[@teabagtowers3823]

He's got his lipstick out

[@Tgilbsuk]

Three narrators makes so much sense.

[@reverendroar]

Although I love Good King Wenceslas - you should have done ‘We Three Kings of PolJoe are…’

[@tersecwalsingham5778]

Not the Madris 🤣 Merry Joemas everyone.

[@GrowYourOwnLife]

Ed, after one Madri is a lad, isn't he! I presume the ban on whisky & vodka was an executive decision... 😂

[@CaersethVarax]

Myrrh is an embalming fluid. The three gifts represent three stages of Jesus' life; Gold for the working carpenter, Frankincense for the preacher and Myrrh for his death and preservation.

[@reverendroar]

Who is ‘who must not be named’?

[@Newsbro89]

Ollie and Ed are so good looking. Cheers from your friends in America!

[@sfshinz]

Ava left Oli hanging for one minute, ten seconds, which has to some sort of record.

[@IndaloMan]

Back in 1964 in Leeds, I was Joseph and Jane Vardy was Mary. I didn't believe in it then and haven't changed my mind.

[@nomoreheroes93]

Ava opening that can was pure ASMR - Audio Sensory Madri-dian Response

[@PapaMasivo]

Christmas Wrapping is peak

[@TheBustedFlush1998]

Why was Ollie not invited to the housewarming? Am I missing something

[@MrCallumDennis]

HR

[@Jasperyeahhh]

At the end of the day, Oli is Laura's boss. Employment contracts from HR at an organisation like PolJoe will likely have a clause for expected conduct outside of the workplace. If you're having a party that is likely to get a bit messy, there's no harm in inviting your colleagues that have no authority over you, namely Ed and Ava in this circumstance. However, inviting your boss, namely Oli, is ill advised. If Oli sees behaviour that doesn't fit in with conduct, he will be expected to do something about it after the fact, and if he doesn't, he himself can get in shit. It just makes more sense, given Oli's relationship to the others, that he isn't there. Of course, its possible that the reason has nothing to do with HR and conduct at all, and I'm just chatting pure shite. I'd say HR concerns is the most likely answer though.

[@TheBustedFlush1998]

@@Jasperyeahhh thanks for the explanation. I forget that Oli is the boss and the implications that that has because they sort of just seem like a group of mates.

[@Jasperyeahhh]

​@@TheBustedFlush1998 I getcha. It's very easy to forget, because they *do* just come across as a group of mates, which I would argue is a part of what makes watching them so appealing. If anything, it's a good thing we forget that Oli is the boss.

[@smilezor]

i think that mullet is having an effect on Ed.

[@Safinitzine]

You've mellowed.

[@FONASDeadlock]

When did Ed start cutting his own hair?

[@Prawnsly]

yeah why doesn't he have a sIcK fAdE like 99% of other men >:(

[@ketongu]

the tom bombadil chapter is honestly a slog. i wanna be a blue wizard

[@GoldnDusty]

My instant gut response was my brain throwing "And Radagast was high as a kite" at me, so I don't think I can claim elsewise

[@TheOrms]

How much for the shameless marketing? I thought you had to declare that stuff?

[@GoldnDusty]

Oli really gonna have to resign the "LOTR-head" title after pronouncing the username Imladris like that.

[@tobypettit6417]

PRODUCTION TEAM MIC

[@BUFUmic]

I'm disappointed no one said, #notalldogs.... talk about a missed opportunity!

[@zzhughesd]

Not more Hells than Madri on the Joe pod

[@tolhumexy6706]

Ed means Duarte not Marcos.

[@snorlaxsleeps9700]

I know it's only recently become a "trend" but we've been "splitting the G" or underlining the name (depending on who calls it) since they started printing the name of the pint on the glass, that redditor needs to keep their opinions to themselves or get out more

[@zacharyrichard2764]

I’m watching a xl bully rn over Christmas he’s cute but insane XD

[@Serpsss]

Sounds like some viewers are just green with envy.

[@1dkappe]

Nonsense somewhat over. 9:27

[@john-s3w6c]

Your not invited. Laura 'n' Order SVU...........

Ahhh the king paid thanks to the NHS… from whom he charges millions of pounds to park their ambulances on “his” land…. This country 🤦‍♂️

Product Placement?

[@katejackson7432]

we have xm@s coz the northern hemisphere needs jol, so the christianised it

[@jonsmith5058]

Regarding nativity. I find it inconsistent to be fine with folklore like Santa Claus being fine to change without us teaching kids about the stories it was originally based on like Sinterklaas or that he’s red cause of Coca Cola, yet you insist the nativity story should be treated as some static, dare I say historical accurate fact, to recount… Why draw the line there too and act like it was an original story, its not. It borrowed elements from various different older folklore stories from other cultures and the only reason its celebrated in December is because of the pagan traditions. This clearly reeks of ‘its my religion so do it my way’. I say its just how the folklore is evolving, let their be prawns there.

[@Drudgen]

Cringe. Tradition rules, loser

[@ramboshamone9888]

Ava going off about nativity pissed me right off. Sorry but keep telling the story that is the origin on the holiday. Christ wasn't the original story of the holiday, Christians have already erased the actual history of the holiday. Yule. It's Yule, the rebirth of the son god and the end of the darkest part of the year.

[@john-s3w6c]

What's a Republican's favorite dog?...............

[@raylder6339]

Skip to 28 mins if you want to die of cringe.

[@cameirusisu1024]

put ava in charge of finding parts for 100kids in a nativity play. then you'll see why prawns are involved....also, the prawns are just as authentic as the rest of it. its all a load of...also, stories evolve, the christmas story is a plagarisation of a lot of previous stories it was adapted from, what an odd position to take on this.

[@AndyRossism]

Jesus could be a Prawn, as you say, it's all made up anyway.

A Christian complaining about kids not learning about the stolen festival....

Why are commies celebrating Christmas😂

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

Bro has never heard of Jesus before

[@sSteppingStones]

I remember when PoliticsJOE was great satire, now it is left wing properganda 😢

[@scallamander4899]

Funny people are far more likely to be leftwing than rightwing. Same with creative and more intelligent folks in general

[@sSteppingStones]

@scallamander4899 it's young people that make up the majority of KZbin creators and young people tend to lean left. Most of us have not seen what happens when a Labour government gets into power (it's not good)

[@scallamander4899]

@ Would have preferred the Tories to win again?

[@sSteppingStones]

@@scallamander4899 I would rather libdem or ideally Reform because the Tories in fight to much. But Rishi did actually leave the economy in a good state! Sadly people were too angry about previous performance and voted for labour instead just to say f u to the Tories

[@rainbowevil]

@@sSteppingStones sorry, is this honestly your idea of an economy in a good state? It’s better than when he started, but that’s a bloody low bar.

[@mystic_mimi21]

5:21 It’s the Virgin Mary’s birth that is the immaculate conception. Not Jesus!
