Here we are - the Christmas Special edition and (maybe) final episode of The Virtual Pub.

It's been a while since you've heard from us! We've been busy with life in this sh*tshow we call 2020, and rather than be overwhelmed by overcommitting ourselves to too much, we're calling it a day and going out with a bang - an episode with no pricks, just good times and a bumper quiz.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for listening to this show - something that started as a way to distract ourselves from the world on fire.

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Love,

The Virtual Pub team xo

Well butter my balls! It feels good to be back (that is a reference to something we say in the show - I'm not just being deliberately gross). Welcome back to The Virtual Pub. It's been a while, hasn't it!

Got a lot to catch up on, both in our own lives and in the news - here's what we've got coming up.

• Since this is the first time we've all spoken in a while, we spend the first half hour catching up - going over the highs and lows of life throughout October, including Jason turning into a single Mum and the pub staff returning to the podcast after the tier 3 closures in Nottingham!
• After this, it's time to pick a prick - Jason's choice of Mansfield MP Ben Bradley evolves into a wider discussion about the whole Free School Meals debacle. Primarily, why is it even a debate to begin with? And what needs to happen? We go long, but it's really important we go into this!
• Now for some good news, including water on the moon and Scooter with their Christmas Number One attempt!
• And finally, the pub quiz and final thoughts.

Welcome back to The Virtual Pub, where we ask the hard-hitting questions like should our quizmaster Dan setup his own Only Fans page and call it "Only Dans"?

On this week's episode, we're not falling for the Chinese Ambassador's obvious cover-up for looking at porn when he blames twitter and asks for an urgent investigation after liking a sexually graphic tweet, we catch up with Dan after his long break from the show, where he gives us an exclusive inside scoop on the whole Robin Hood Energy fiasco, we explain why Mark Dolan is an anti-mask prick, Moody pulls out a triple of good news and we round things off with a movie quote pub quiz.
