The Variety Show

It finally happened. One innocent snack chat. One unfortunate Freudian slip. And suddenly Rob has offered the nation a Choc Dick. In Episode 72 of The Variety Show, Tom and Rob return for another round of nostalgic nonsense, snack-based investigations and passionate rants that spiral wildly out of control. There’s a new season taste test format, a deep dive into modern Lego ruining childhoods, questionable chocolate scoring systems, a Journey Through Middle-Earth fitness challenge, and a snack so good it accidentally gets renamed forever. Expect: 🍫 A legendary Choc Dip slip-up 🧱 A furious Lego rant 🏃 FitQuest step challenges and VR workouts 🎶 Retro chart nonsense from the year 2000 🎄 Christmas aftermath chaos 😏 And far too many things being dipped into sacks It’s chaotic. It’s nostalgic. It’s filthy. And it’s absolutely on brand. Listen now and find out why Choc Dip will never be called Choc Dip again. #TheVarietyShow #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #SnackTest #Nostalgia FitQuest You can join FitQuest for free (and minimal data) here: https://fitquest.support-me.co.uk.

WARNING - We tested out a walkabout recorder rather than the Lavaliers. I know it's not as bad as I think but I still want you to know, this isn't the normal quality!! We are working on it, I promise! For the final episode of the year, Tom and Rob leave the studio behind and take a festive wander through two familiar towns to answer one important question: which one actually feels like Christmas? Armed with nostalgia, sharp opinions, and a suspicious number of LED complaints, the boys walk through Hemel Hempstead and St Albans, judging Christmas lights, trees, town centres, and the general festive “vibe” — while discovering that colour appears to be illegal in modern Christmas decorating. Along the way there are disappointing trees, baffling design choices, Instagram-bait decorations, knitted postbox toppers, and one genuinely Christmassy saviour hidden away in the Maltings. There’s also a gloriously retro detour into 90s Nokia ringtone culture, as Rob attempts to identify classic Christmas songs recreated using a vintage Nokia composer emulator. Add Liebkuchen taste-testing, childhood memories, mild outrage, and the slow realisation that it’s far too late at night for Christmas lights to still be on — and you’ve got the perfect cosy, chaotic send-off for 2025. Merry Christmas from The Variety Show, and we’ll see you in 2026 🎄 #WalkingHomeForChristmas #ChristmasPodcast #UKNostalgia #Channel84 #FestiveChaos Social Details Now open - Reddit!!

Welcome to 25 Days of Advent: The Christmas Number Ones Edition — our festive countdown where Tom and Rob celebrate the holiday season by digging through the #1 box office films from every December between 1984 and 2008. Each day, we pull one film at random and decide where it belongs on our growing festive leaderboard — from “so Christmassy it jingles” all the way down to “absolutely no tinsel in sight.” Expect nostalgia, chaos, questionable logic, movie memories, and two grown men aggressively debating whether something “counts as Christmas.” 🎅🎬 In every episode you’ll get: ✨ A fresh daily pick from the 1984–2008 December #1 films ✨ Tom & Rob arguing the true meaning of “Christmassy” ✨ Surprising festive hot takes ✨ Running jokes, callbacks, and the slow collapse of the leaderboard ✨ Daily holiday cheer (or despair) Whether you’re watching along, shouting at your phone, or creating your own festive ranking at home — welcome to our weird little Christmas tradition. 🔔 New Advent episode every day until Christmas! Like, subscribe, and stick around for the full 25-day chaos. Social Details Now open - Reddit!!
