It's great. You admit it. You thought I wouldn't live this long. Here I am. 26 still to go. I'm not making any

predictions for my health at the end of this year, but I've got this far and that's delightful. Look, there's a few things going on. There's some live Rahaluskimos coming up, as you probably know. I'm in Leicester on the 8th of February with Fatsy El-Gori is one of my guests. She is fantastic. Don't miss that. We're up against Stephen Fry, but he's sold out out so hopefully you'll be forced to come and see us now

gigs in the 23rd of february in less square theatre 16th of marked at the square

theatre with david mitchell 20th of april hitler's birthday we be celebrating. Lester Square Theater. Do come along

if you can. Richard Herring.com slash Rahalesterpur for all those things. And do remember,

write bollocks. Autobiography, 5,000 words long, is available to pre-order at go fasterstripe.com.

All the money from that will go to make more podcasts as well.

Do become a badge at Gofastestripe.com slash badges if you want loads of benefits and

You know the drill by now.

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Thanks for your effort.

Now listen to a podcast.

Hello, my finest of friends. I hope you're having a lovely December, or whenever you're

listening to this really. As it's the end of 2025, as we record, we are doing our traditional best of 2025

compilations, along with a lot of other cool stuff coming up over the Christmas period.

Some old, some new, some borrowed, all of it pretty blue.

I think we can all agree.

But there's hopefully going to be some stone clearing, some snooker and some puppetry,

but also we're going to be putting out a few best-offs and other emergency questions compilation
