Ladies and gentlemen, two men from opposite ends of the physical, cultural and emotional spectrums, flats and shanks.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest episode of our podcast.

I am David Flatman. You are, right. I am Tom Shanklin. Hi Tom. All right mate.

And happy Christmas and New Year to you mate. Happy New Year to everyone.

That's what I make great mate. Yeah, everyone. Yeah, because they're all we make.

We're all friends on here. We hope you had a nice Christmas New Year. What did you get up to?

That's right. You can't tell us. Did you get some absolute rubbish presents like a shirt that you've got to wear on Christmas day and pretend you really love?

I'm not sure anyone gets good presents anymore. Like because people have so much more leisure and choice these days.

I think as a rule people have more disposable income now than they did a generational two ago.

And you go out and kind of get the stuff you want. And then when you got kids and you're grown up, you can't justify asking your misses or your mister to go and buy something really expensive.

So I think sort of think pretty shy present to the way it works now.

Did you get anything good? Yeah. I got a lamp in the shape of a white porcelain monkey holding a bulb.

Nice. I like that though. Yeah, that's all right. I like anal lamps.

I'm going to put that. That's in my sitting room. Oh, is that your thing? You collect animal lamps. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One of them.

I like the guy with the names at 400 knowns in his house and cuddly toy. And I got a subscription to an annual subscription to all day.

And only read us read us husbands. And your subscription to all the old, you know, all the air books and books.

Yeah. Which I like. You do love them. A lot of time on the road. Like a bit like David Brent, bit like you. You get anything good? I know I saw on social media. You got a lot of shower gel and socks.

I don't know what you're trying to say. But socks are good though, because you know, I put a different pair on for different services in the house.

Yeah, but it's like you got me a Christmas present. I can just go on my iPhone, click white sports socks, size 11, Amazon Prime, next day. Come on.

Think I sent you a written on you know. Well, don't blame me now. I didn't get them. I got some. Yeah. I got a little. You can't go wrong. Get a toy for a man. I don't think.

I would like just one of these little drones. Oh, yeah. When I say little, I mean like very small. Just goes up and down basically. So useless. It's from boots. Put it that way. So it wasn't like the proper drone.

Right. It wasn't okay. It copped out. Yeah. It wasn't from like Smith's toy superstar. I think it's like everyone's mind. Mrs. like my mum and stuff. Like who really hard to buy for. Okay. What I want is really, really simple. What I want is really nice shoes.
