We learn about the real Saint Stephen and his pretty grim end.

Darren is amazed to learn there is mass on Christmas day and Joe tells us about how he once considered a life in the priesthood.

One listener wants to know how much of Joe’s time is lost to complaining.

We find ourselves exploring the history of capes, assessing our own cape tolerance, and discovering Darren wants to wear a cape.

Joe finds unmitigated joe in the segue of a lifetime, before he reverts to form as Christmas cheer gets on his nerve.

Darren resolves to double down on nicotine and Joe is inspired to join him, and there’s a moment of appreciation for the magic of sliced ham.

One listener hopes Joe finds no cheer in Christmas, but presume he doesn’t want it anyway and Joe, of course, goes on about the many miseries of the festive season, from the anxiety of the overflowing green bin to the stress of dressing.

We're joined once again by Terence Power of The Talking Bollox Podcast, as Darren continues his recuperation.

It doesn't take long for Terry to get into the Stall It mindset, as we discuss a fear of interstellar jinxes, time capsules designed to cruelly fool humans of the 23rd century, unlucky numbers around the world, the science of that feeling someone is watching you, and the desire to discover another plane of existence - if only just for something to do on a dull evening.
