About this episode
The Scummy Mummies Christmas Special features humorous discussions, traditions, and confessions.
Oh God. Time for some loud swearing, heavy drinking, and ludicrous conversations about nothing of any note - it's the Scummy Mummies Christmas Special! This year we have an argument about bodily fluids, and Steve shares his novel alternative to having a vasectomy. We talk about our favourite and least favourite shows of the year. There's a world exclusive book announcement, and Ellie reveals a secret she's been keeping from Jessie since August. Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without our stupid traditions - Linda Chat, gifts no one wants, and we find out if Jessie has a new job. Then it's time for the most controversial Ham Review of all time. Here's the recipe that won this year (or did it?): @gidsgids We finish with a bumper crop of Scummy Mummy Confessions, and share our hopes and dreams for 2026. Thank you so much for listening, especially if you're one of those people who's listened to these nonsensical Christmas specials for over a decade now. This one's for you. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! Love E&H x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
