FREE SUBS TASTER: A Pap Walk & A Pub Lunch: An Unhinged Royal Wrap

0:08 You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.

0:14 Holly and I have been on the record complaining about the joint birthday and Christmas present, right? We don't like it. Our birthdays are too close to Christmas.

0:22 For those who don't know, Jessie and I are both born within one day of each other within five days of Christmas.

0:27 Exactly. But finally a gift has come along. Bloody Sagittarius. That does the job for both.

0:33 Right?

0:33 It is expensive enough. It is special enough. It is great enough. It is the, as ever, advent holiday calendar.

0:39 God bless her.

0:40 It retails for $ 212 Australian dollars. Brent, if you're listening, that's what Holly would like. And it is just chocolates.

0:48 It is just chocolates. And I think that is a lot of money for Jessica's chocolates. Aren't they chocolates? They're artisanal chocolates, Jessie, but also aren't they in all the windows of her Montecito house?

0:58 Is it their house? Yeah.

0:59 So it says on the website, don't think I haven't been looking, don't think I haven't added it to cart, created in collaboration with the celebrated Los Angeles Chocolatier, blah, blah, blah. This limited edition advent calendar reveals 24 handcrafted chocolates. That's the point of an advent calendar, right? Something for every day.

1:14 In a keepsake design inspired by Meghan's Montecito home and gardens. Am I missing the Advent calendar chip? I've never understood them. Oh, I love them. I think they're dumb. I have them every year and a half since I was a kid.

1:26 Holly's family is a big Advent.

1:29 I always thought Advent was a brand. No. See? So you start on December 1 and you go to Christmas Eve, right, just 24th. So it's a type of calendar. It's a calendar with little doors in it. And these days people get beauty ones that cost thousands of dollars and you open it and it's like, oh, moisturiser. When I was a kid it was like here's a picture of a donkey and you were like, oh.

1:51 A chocolate donkey. By Christmas the chocolate always tasted a bit odd.

1:56 Yeah, and chocolates are the ones like I'll buy my kids and stuff is chocolate ones. But yeah, when I was a kid, they didn't have chocolates. It was just pictures and it was exciting. You're like, a bell, a candy cane. What will it be? But I want one of these.

2:10 You do?

2:11 I want an as ever advent calendar. I want Meghan's chocolates. The thing is, is they still don't ship here and they also don't ship in the UK. This is what. What boggles my mind is why when they came here in April this year, we all thought, well, I thought, this is like a PR stunt to say we're going to start. Australia, we're here. I need to buy them, ship them to an American, and then the American ships them to me, by which time the chocolates will definitely be white. Yes.

2:36 Look, the out loud is someone is sending you an advent calendar. We know the out loud is like the out louder who sent you the dinner.

2:43 They have your back.
