In this episode I call my friend, Matt, and I tell him a joke. 100% on board for Matt and his lichen/moss related joke, what a champ. Matt is Harley's dad, so that means he got a new puppy today. I have heard it said that it's more stressful to have a new puppy than it is to have a new baby, so let's all keep Matt (and Shar and Harley) in our thoughts.

In this episode I call my friend, Leanne, and I tell her a joke. Normally I see Leanne for Boxing Day lunch, but we can't do it this year, which is pretty sad actually. Instead I will watch all 6 episodes of the BBC Pride and Prejudice mini series, which was our tradition when we lived together. Nothing says Christmas like Mr Darcy walking (sexily) out of a lake.

I've worked with Jason for several years, and even though I know some things about him - like that he's an excellent camera operator, and that he's funny, and that genuinely everyone thinks he's great - we've never actually spent enough time together to be proper friend friends. So, Jason, let's be actual friends in 2021, ok? Ok. The Snoop Dogg joke is courtesy of Allanah, a listener from Germany. Thanks Allanah! Support this s...

In this episode I call my friend, Pete, and I tell him a joke. I just finished a job where Pete is normally there except this time he couldn't be, and everyone (including me) was ridiculously sad and complained about it the whole time. Must be very nice to be so loved that when you're not there all people do is talk about great it was when you WERE there. And hopefully Pete doesn't read this, because his ego does not need this kind of boost. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcall...

So full of whimsy, I love it so much. And how good are Harley's Christmas jokes? The actual best, she should start a podcast. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke .

If you remember the flossing joke I told Arty last week then you are aware of Simon's work.
