You're in for a treat as we kick off the third season of our podcast, where humour and randomness spice up your commute. This time around, we’re all about less waffle and more laughs, with two bite-sized episodes each month. 

Our growing international audience has us dreaming big—outer space, anyone? Between chuckles over kids’ jokes and classic planetary jests, we’re bringing back the fan-favourite "Thirsty First" segment to reveal our unconventional beverage choice, setting the tone for an exhilarating season ahead.

Relive the magic of wedding day blunders and heartwarming holiday chaos with us. From the thrill of pre-ceremony antics to the warmth of cherished audio snippets from loved ones, our trip down memory lane is both nostalgic and side-splitting.

Whether you're strategising on sneaking gifts past Santa sleuths or simply in need of a good laugh, this season promises to keep the camaraderie and cheer alive.

Speaker 2 0:38

Welcome back, mr Walliams. Good to be here. How are you doing? I am doing as well as any person is doing. I guess that's probably the problem. I am absolutely fine in the grand scheme of things. Are you feeling good? I am feeling better. Now I'm back in front of a microphone talking with you, recording our conversations, having a bit of a laugh, happy to be here. How?

Speaker 1 1:06

about yourself. How are you? Yeah, good, good, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling good. New format alert you'll be getting two episodes a month, two episodes a month.

Speaker 2 1:26

Double nom image. Yes, there is a slight change, isn't there, to the amount of first looks we'll be doing? This is true?

Speaker 1 1:32

um so we're just going to do a couple, so one each per episode and some other, the usual stuff.

Speaker 2 1:36

What I was, basically what we've done in a nutshell shorter and sharper less waffle and instead of having one big episode, we're going to try.

Speaker 2 1:47

We had some feedback that a lot of people like to listen to this podcast on the drive to work and it's usually about half an hour, so sometimes they don't get to listen to a whole episode and we want to try and accommodate, so we thought we'd cut them in half but do twice as many and hopefully that way we can help your commute be full of joy and nonsense but the important bit is, mr Ostrich, is the point that is, make sure you follow, subscribe, listen, visit the website, download, visit the website and the update website is it's under development, still under development.

Speaker 2 2:23

the website is still in development, but we did renew the domain name.

Speaker 3 2:28

So you know.

Speaker 2 2:29

Which I was busy for. Yeah, we're busy, we're busy, men, it's hard to be able to.

Speaker 1 2:37

It's hard to do all these things. If you do want to go to a website, we do have a temporary website, do we? Yeah, we do. Firstlittle little namesbuzzsproutcom. Wow. Recommend that you download, subscribe, follow, ask your smart speaker yeah, do it.

Speaker 2 2:54

Listen, Tell people. Oh no, we hit that one last year. I was going to say tell people in Africa.

Speaker 1 2:59

We've got African listeners last year. We're international, across the continents, ready for season three, the big one. Here we go, better, better better bigger, better bigger batter.

Speaker 2 3:11

Oh, got fish and chips offering oh, we're bigger and better I wonder what we should say, our ambitions, what?

Speaker 1 3:19

are we doing?

Speaker 2 3:20

we've we should set our ambitions higher.

Speaker 3 3:22

What are?

Speaker 2 3:23

we doing Higher? Well, we've done the continents. Now I just said better instead of better.

Speaker 1 3:28

Well, yeah, that's because you're not drunk, it's because you're sober, you don't speak as well when you're sober. Yeah, let's set our sights lower, but now let's set them higher.

Speaker 2 3:37

We want this podcast to be heard in outer space, all right, so we've done. I don't know if I can record that, oh well, you can, but you can email in. You can email in. Where can you mail in if you're at the space station? Yeah, yeah, you could email in to um first look, gnomes at outlookcom. Can you imagine somebody? I am listening from space.

Speaker 1 3:57

Brilliant, we'll take it, yeah so that's our new target of season three. Is someone from the moon or just space in general out of space you? Is someone from the moon or just space in general Out of space you know someone from another planet would just be among which planet? Any planet. Yeah, Please write in to this.

Speaker 2 4:11

My son would particularly like it if somebody came from Uranus. Uh, because that's his favorite thing to talk about at the minute. Can I tell you about the planets? Yes, what do you want to talk about, uranus?

Speaker 1 4:24

It is a classic.

Speaker 2 4:25

It is a classic, it does make me laugh. He tells me it's Uranus and he tells me it's a gas giant. Classic kids jokes.

Speaker 1 4:36

Anyway, it's generational that one isn't it.

Speaker 2 4:38

It is, it is. Anyway, welcome back to season three. Bigger and better, bigger and better. Shall we get to the first subject, wiles. First subject, first to first.

Speaker 1 4:50

Yay, so I've not quite sorted out my setup. So the firsty first fridge is in the way of various cables, so I'm struggling through Bigger and batter.

Speaker 2 5:08

Ladies and gentlemen, he's knocking his lunch phone all over the place trying to get to his fridge as always thirsty fridge.

Speaker 1 5:16

Here we go, how are we bigger and batter and more professional this season.

Speaker 2 5:27

The amount of background noise and of you trying to get into the fridge. All I could hear was clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk clunk.

Speaker 1 5:37

Bigger and better, bigger and better. I think that's going to be the slogan for season three, isn't it? Firsty, first fridge. What have we?

Speaker 2 5:46

got Firsty first. That's what we've got. What do you think it's going to be, mr Archie? So, knowing you, it's probably going to be some kind of strawberry meringue stout with chocolate notes and honey drizzle Something ridiculous or a muffin, something to do with muffins.

Speaker 1 6:02

Something to do with muffins. This is called a St Ives Pud.

Speaker 2 6:07

A Pud, a Puddle, a cake puddle.

Speaker 1 6:09

A little tin, this one A little tin which is good for a Sunday night Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout.

Speaker 2 6:16

So I wasn't that far away, you weren't that far.

Speaker 1 6:19

Strawberry, and this is from St Ives Brewery, it's a 6.5%, which is, I think, quite Quite reasonable for you, quite reasonable for you, quite reasonable for me. Brood, where do you think it's brood?

Speaker 2 6:31

Well, he said it was St Ives, so probably I'm going to guess. This is OK, this is a trick question. This is going to be where he got married. We went to the. Now, what was it called? Why can't I remember this? Driftwood Spas, st Ives.

Speaker 1 6:46

So yeah, St Ives, so it contains barley, wheat, oats, oats.

Speaker 2 6:52

I can't speak to that. Have you already had some of these pods?

Speaker 1 6:55

Dates and mixed spices. Oh, very nice. Pops of chinook, mandarina and bavaria suitable for vegans. There we go. Good to know there we go. Should we give it a go?

Speaker 2 7:06

Give it a go. Wiles Give it a go. Wiles, give it a go you deserve it, after you've spent half an hour trying to get out of the bloody fridge.

Speaker 1 7:14

Yeah, yeah. I need to change the setup, which will probably take me as long as the website, I'd imagine. The shop is on a slant as well, so I need to do something about it. It's got subsidence. It's collapsing, which is a worry because I am above a mineshaft.

Speaker 2 7:37

Listeners, we're not even joking. I'm not joking. His shop is situated above a mineshaft and it's currently sinking into the ground. Cheers Wals.

Speaker 1 7:52

Nice that the smells. What's that smell like? What's the it's?

Speaker 2 8:01

not a sticky toffee.

Speaker 1 8:05

It says sticky toffee pudding but the Because it says it's got mixed spices and dates and oats, it's like a Christmas pud rather than a sticky toffee pudding. But the Because it says it's got mixed spices and dates and oats, it's got a Christmas pud rather than a sticky toffee pud.

Speaker 2 8:14

Okay, so it's got a. You're getting Christmas notes and a bit of a.

Speaker 1 8:19

I'm getting a Christmas pudding Christmas. Nice, I bet you, they repackaged that as a Christmas special.

Speaker 2 8:26

So how many gnome fingers are you going to give it, William?

Speaker 1 8:29

How many gnome fingers got? There's a new bit for the new season.

Wedding Memories and Audio Clips

Speaker 2 8:32

You've got it you. There's no point in fingers. You've got to.

Speaker 1 8:35

You've got to um what's top marks we're going 10 fingers or five fingers for a hand 10, 10 fingers or is it? Or as a thumb, so four fingers and a thumb, or what we're doing just out of 10, I think.

Speaker 2 8:45

think Wells Classic. That's good. I'll do a little sip. We don't want to overcomplicate the marking system.

Speaker 1 8:55

That's a good one. That's an 8 out of 10. 8 out of 10. I think, because the time of year I think we're getting to, that Christmassy part 8 out of 10.

Speaker 2 9:03

Okay. Well, I reckon by the end of Season 3, all the thirsty thirst should be collated and a winner should be announced to get the first ever First Look. Gnomes, beer of the Year Award. Cheers. There you go, thirsty first Beer of the Year Award coming this time next year, pud gets itself an eight. What a good start. Shall we crack on to some first looks.

Speaker 1 9:26

Sure, the first look of the season. I'll get cracking if you want.

Speaker 2 9:33

Go ahead, you work away, dude. Looking forward to it, we've had a little break.

Speaker 1 9:37

We've had a little break Mainly because I actually saw Mr Hodgkiss in the flesh. Not too much flesh.

Speaker 2 9:47

I was pretty naked.

Speaker 1 9:51

We were celebrating our marriage, our marriage to the wifey wife, which long-term listeners will have heard from before, used to be known as fiancée fiancée and this week we had our first look at the wedding celebration photos.

Speaker 2 10:12

Oh, very nice. Yes, we had a nice. We received one, Williams we received one from you, did you.

Speaker 3 10:19

A group shot on a thank you card.

Speaker 2 10:21

Thank you for sending that it was lovely. It's currently on our mirror in the front room.

Speaker 1 10:24

You did, and apologies to Rachel's mum if she's listening, because we noticed afterwards that because there was a special pattern border around the edge, it actually wiped her out, so it deleted her from it. Aw, poor Rachel's mum. But everyone else made it to the cards. The night before I had a couple, a few, a few, too many shots, um and the um can we just clarify?

Speaker 2 10:56

the night before the wedding, everyone was a bit drunk.

Speaker 1 10:59

Not photo shots as well. No, no proper shots. I was being bought. I was being bought shots by various people and pints by various people Perhaps had a few too many, but obviously long story. But I actually was married already, so it was a blessing and a celebration. So I think I perhaps would have got away a bit less if it was the actual wedding perhaps. But yeah, on the day of the blessing we're up there looking at my beautiful wife walks down and you know we're there at the altar and we're looking into each other's eyes, saying, you know, beautiful words, beautiful words. And she looks at my eyes and she sees my eyes get all teary and she's like, ah. And then she goes oh, he's just hammered, isn't?

Speaker 1 11:52

he true story. See my eyes go like washing bloodshot. I just didn't get emotional this, this is.

Speaker 2 12:01

These tears are 98% sambuca from last night but, um, you can, because you know.

Speaker 1 12:07

so, looking back at the photos, and there's, there's lots of lovely ones in there, but the, the ones towards the start of the day. So me and the, me and the best man and my dad putting ties on and things. There's pictures of Mr Hodgkiss and my friend Granto, big smiles on, and I'm just and the, and the embarrassing thing was I had a bit of a poorly belly and um, yes, and when, when you have a bit of a poorly belly, um, the, uh, the smell was a bit more, bit more potent. Um, so, yeah, I had to, I had to go and, um, use the facilities, use the facilities. And then about two minutes later, bless her, our optographer, kelly, turns up, so the windows open, door opens, oh dear, oh dear. So she was obviously very professional and didn't mention anything, but I'm surprised her eyes weren't watering.

Speaker 1 13:07

But yeah, there's a few shots that we've got, some um, but uh, yeah, there's a few shots that we've got. So we've got some good ones, but there's a few shots from earlier in the day that um, probably won't make. So we're making a gonna have like a wedding wall. So from february on we're gonna have, you know, loads of different pictures, um, but um, yeah, there'll be some that I don't think will will make it. I might crop me out and sort of just put you and Grant up on the wall. You get everyone together that you've not seen for ages and some people we don't see again for ages, and you know it's an emotional day. What we had, as well as well as the photos, we had a red phone, an old school dial-a-phone thing, because we thought it would be nice to save down some audio files, because it's lovely to look back at photos, but also to actually hear someone's voice as well.

Speaker 1 14:02

That means a lot of love was shown. So if I just show a couple of the audio files, okay, oh, dear ones that I'm allowed to share. So you know, the people left us loads of, you know, really sweet, sweet words for us to listen back to in years times I love boobs, boobs.

Speaker 1 14:35

Boobs. So beautiful, beautiful memories to look back on Of a lovely day. So you know when you want to listen back to some people. We've got these lovely audio clips of a romantic day Boobs, boobs. Let's see if I've got any more. Have I got any more? Wifey here, you're drunk too much. Love you, but it's. Yeah, it was a lovely day.

Speaker 2 15:14

The phone was a great addition. I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty sure we left you some more horrendous ones than that as well. Some lovely ones, I'm sure. What else have we got? What's up, walliams? All I can hear is you talking, walliams, why are you still talking? Shut up, walliams, love you. All I can hear is you talking, williams. Why are you still talking? Shut up, williams, love you yeah lovely.

Speaker 2 15:37

I mean you put a telephone on and you put loads of booze in front of it and I think potentially one more as well.

Speaker 1 15:46

Here we go. Hello, this is a no to a gnome.

Speaker 3 15:49

I popped in for a bit of Potentially one more as well. Oh yeah, here we go. Hello, this is the Know-It-All Gnome. I popped in for a bit of fun for the wedding, and I just want to say how proud I am of you both today. And here's my advice for the day when you think you've had enough look at each other in the eye and remember you were here once. You'll be here again. We love each other and marriage is for life, not just for Christmas. Respect each other. We love you, Love the know-it-all gnome. We, we, we.

Speaker 2 16:33

I didn't see him at the wedding.

Speaker 1 16:34

He's a tiny guy, zero recollection of him saying that to you.

Speaker 2 16:43

That was a bit of a shock for me.

Speaker 1 16:44

I remember going boobs he's a tiny little guy. Bless him he was. I mean, we didn't have a chair for him, so actually he's under the table and we just fed him under the table, gave him some.

Speaker 2 16:57

Best way to be really.

Speaker 1 17:00

He had some on my main course because I was too nervous for the speech, so I gave him some bits of it. Yeah, beautiful day and beautiful memories. And if the memory isn't quite as good as it used to be, when I'm 80, I've got these lovely audio clips. And that's not just me, it's my wife as well. So my wife will get to you know.

Speaker 2 17:23

Listen back to these beautiful I try and um, I'd make sure you label who they are because you may just forget over time. Who thinks that From our win? So we're about to celebrate 12 years of marriage and we were looking back over photos and there was genuinely people there. I'm like, who was that? Yeah there were people that went. I have no idea who they were, so might be a good idea to label them while you've still got a fresh memory, wells, while these people are still there like mr hodge hodge hodge something wasn't it something like that greg, greg, greg, hodge, grant, grant hodgekiss.

Speaker 2 18:01

Yeah, grant hodgekiss. Yeah, no, it was. It was a lovely day, wells, and it was. It was a lovely day, wals. And yeah, thank you for inviting us to be there as part of it.

Christmas Preparations and Mouse Troubles

Speaker 1 18:10

Oh, an absolute pleasure. Lovely weekend. It was Lovely weekend. Do it all over again? Well, wouldn't pay for it all over again.

Speaker 2 18:18

Well, like the old gnome said, it's for life, not just for Christmas. So said it's for life, not just for Christmas. So you can't just do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 18:24

It's true. And on Christmas, a couple little looks which you might spoil. Your first look, I don't know, but we had a first look at the Asda Christmas advert.

Speaker 2 18:36

Ah the sons of buns. They are, they must be, listening to this podcast.

Speaker 1 18:43

Yeah, I don't know if anyone sounds familiar, but it's. It's basically got. It's got gnomes and bad puns.

Speaker 2 18:50

That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 18:52

It sounds familiar.

Speaker 2 18:54

They've basically listened to our podcast. I thought, oh, those two obviously know their Christmas, we will, we'll just rip them off. Basically, ripped them off, basically is what they've done. I think they're probably claiming it well to be honest.

Speaker 1 19:04

Yes, look at that. I mean, if it's just gnomes, maybe, if it's just bad puns, maybe, but gnomes if they're a know-it-all gnome.

Speaker 2 19:10

Is there a know-it-all gnome? Is there a wise old gnome in that?

Speaker 1 19:16

advert. I don't know I might need to him unbelievable. Yeah, we'll look back at that. And then also, um, I saw um, which I think is quite clever, but uh, a little, a little got a freeway cola, um lorry doing the old truck lorry, whatever you want to call it doing the rounds around the country. Um so, uh, yeah so talking about they're just ripping off coke, aren't they?

Speaker 2 19:44

yeah, a bit like asda with, really so yeah, I mean that is outrageous, like they're just the whole coke van thing is such a big part of christmas for that company to then have an absolute ripoff of it yeah, freeway cola tips for dads tips for dads tips for dads.

Speaker 1 20:11

Get your tips for dads we are.

Speaker 2 20:13

We're making tips for dad a more regular feature, right? Well, every other episode we're going to do tips for dad and the theme this this week is getting, because we're in november now. The christmas adverts are on, the little lorries are out there, along with the Coca-Cola lorries and tips for dads around preparing for Christmas. Walliams I've only got a small tip, hey, and she's still married him.

Speaker 1 20:38

No, but we're mean parents, mr Archicus, oh dear're mean parents. Mr Hodgkiss, oh dear Mean parents. So Logan's first Christmas, we didn't get him anything. We did not get him anything for his first Christmas, ouch. So my tip for dads is don't feel any pressure for the first Christmas, or any. Christmas really Well, what's the first one? The first one in particular they don't really know what's going on.

Speaker 1 21:06

They're little, they don't know what's going on, and also they're going to get a load of stuff from the grandparents and various of the members of the family anyway. So don't worry, don't have any pressure for the first Christmas, don't worry.

Speaker 2 21:18

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. It's already a really ridiculously expensive time. It's already a really ridiculously expensive time, and when the child's under one, they, they, you know they can't crawl or they can't walk generally, and you know they don't really know what's going on, do they? So, yeah, save your money and put it towards their college education.

Speaker 1 21:36

If you can, great. If you don't, don't worry absolutely I'd agree with that.

Speaker 2 21:40

no pressure, um, my one miles is actually based on something that we've had this week, so we are my tip for dad. It's all about hiding spots. So we are a family who likes hiding spots, so we all like to. We we try as much as possible to get all the presents and all the nonsense done ahead of December. So, in December we can focus more on just actually having a fun time. Um, but we are now at the age where my son Spoiler alert.

Speaker 1 22:12

Those with children switch off now.

Speaker 3 22:15

Spoiler alert those with children that may be listening also switch off now.

Speaker 2 22:23

Cover your ears For those, anyone listening with children who are young and if there's any kids listening, turn off for the next 10 seconds, because our son has found out the truth about santa claus. Yes, he asked, he asked and he asked and he asked and he pressured and he got the answer. So he knows that the presents come from mom and dad. And one of his first questions was like about I can guess where you hide them. And I was like I bet you probably can. So this year I'm like, okay, I'm on alert. Yeah, so it's.

Speaker 2 23:00

My tip is to get familiar with your hiding spots now. Get security cameras, get security cameras. Think about where you're going to hide these presents. Are you going to hide them around someone's house? And I would also say use your phone to write down where you're hidden stuff, because I can imagine you'd forget where you put some of these presents on Christmas morning. The kid's like, oh, I was really hoping to have such and such. Like, oh crap. Oh, I was really hoping to have such and such. Like, oh crap, we bought that. Where is it? I'm into the loft on christmas morning and get it down, because you're behind I don't know, behind a portrait of the queen or something that you've got stashed up there. So yeah, get familiar with your hiding spots, write them down, maybe even tell your wife and try as much as you can to get stuff done early. This will be the first year for us without Santa, but um yeah, we're going to be very much.

Speaker 1 23:47

If you don't believe in the magic, then help make the magic.

Speaker 2 23:51

Oh, absolutely. Well, that's why we want to get everything done as well. So in December we've got lots of fun stuff planned, so it'll still be magical.

Speaker 1 23:57

Yeah, tips for dance. Tips for dance. That's good. Should it be for the dance First look, mr Oshkiss.

Speaker 2 24:04

First look. So yes, my first look is something I hope many of our listeners have not encountered, but I'm guessing a few of our listeners will. We have had visitors, Visitors.

Speaker 1 24:21

Visitors, visitors.

Speaker 2 24:23

So that sounds Furry, furry, furry visitors very, very little visitors who like to climb under you. Get under your kickboards and get in the walls.

Speaker 2 24:34

We have had our first experience mice little boogers door mice, that thing, or little little mice in the kitchen coming in and we found some mouse droppings so we have had to uh yeah, to sort their mice out. Um, so we first had an inclination that there was a mouse in the house. When the mother-in-law said I saw a mouse in your kitchen, we we're like, oh okay, did you Okay? And we're like she could just be nuts. Maybe she just saw something out of the corner of her eye. And then the good wife thought she saw a mouse and then I was like, oh, maybe she's crazy.

Speaker 2 25:21

Because she said, oh, actually, no, there's a cat out there in the window. I think it might be the cat. I just saw the cat moving across the garden. But then, about two days later, in our little conservatory area, we came to the kitchen and I was like, oh, there, he is, old as brass in the conservatory, in the middle of the floor just chilling out, having the time of his life. And I was like, yep, that's a mouse. And yep, that's a mouse. And I was like is it a mouse or is it a small rat? I was like, no, definitely a mouse.

Speaker 2 25:48

So we sprung into action, no pun intended, went to B&Q, bought all the mousetraps you could buy, got all the peanut butter, set the mousetraps night one. No more mouse, it was just one mouse. Was it a family of mice? Well, so when we saw the mouse, we were like, oh, he's quite, he's actually fairly dark, he looks quite dark. Um, and then the mouse we caught it was about the same size, it was a fully grown mouse. Um, was, it looks slightly lighter. So we're like so we, we actually bought six traps and we bought some. So I was like, I did a bit of reading and I was like okay, I don't really want to kill the mice, what's the best thing to do? And they said, if you use the humane traps, you have to kind of take them like at least two or three miles away. And I thought, if we've got a few, we probably just want to. Yeah.

Speaker 2 26:42

Unfortunately we bought the kind of the snap traps. Yeah, so we, and this is this is where this is where the mystery continues. So we, we set one court, one the others didn't move. The next day, one of the traps had gone off, but there was no mouse. Oh, it's a ninja. What's happened here? No mouse, oh, it's a ninja mouse.

Speaker 2 27:06

What's happened here. I was like is it a ninja mouse? What's going on? And then we've set them ever since. And I was like, okay, we set six. Then we did buy some humane ones as well. We thought, okay, we need to try and get rid of the problem, but if there are going to be more, come let's try and get rid of it. But since then we haven't had any. So we've been rebating the traps, we've put them around. There's been no signs of them.

Speaker 3 27:31

We've there's been no new droppings or everything so we actually think we may have just had the one yeah, but uh, yeah, it wasn't a nice experience because you don't really want to kill.

Speaker 2 27:39

I don't want to kill anything. We caught the first mouse on a sunday. It's like a Craig David song Cut the mouse on a Sunday. Then we had visitors coming over on a Friday, wanted to kill the mouse before they arrived because can you imagine yeah, welcome, come and stay in our lovely home, just mind for the mouse traps please. Yeah, when you wake up in the morning, see if there's any dead mice, would you Check under the kickboards? So yeah, problem solved, touchwood, but mice Tips for dads as well, with mice. So we did again. You know what's the best thing to use to catch mice? Is it peanut butter? Is it bacon? Is it kibble? We ended up buying.

Speaker 1 28:27

I don't know if they don't like them, but it's not.

Speaker 2 28:30

I don't, I honestly don't know, but the um, we bought some. It was kind of like the company who sells the mouse traps. They're all kind of like some of the graphics and stuff they use. It's like a mouse with a target and it's like as if you're gonna snipe for the mouse or something. Yeah, it is a bit like that. So we bought this, this, this bait. That was, you know, very expensive and we're like oh it's meant to work.

Speaker 2 28:56

but it did catch a mouse first time. Um, so if there were and then after that we tried it didn't catch any then try peanut butter, try nutella. And we, we watched somewhere that American stuff called Fluff it's like marshmallow fluff. Yeah, we would say, just go with the stuff you get in the shop. It seemed to work.
