What is the WORST Christmas gift you could receive? (2025 Recap + Christmas Eve Talk)

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi December 23, 2025 Duration: 25:04

Merry Christmas! We wind down the year with a look back at our best moments of the year, and some achievements!


We're also asking the big festive question, what’s the worst food based Christmas gift you can receive? We also talk foods we look forward to most on Christmas Day and the leftovers we’re shamelessly reaching for on Boxing Day.


Before diving into the Christmas eats, we take a moment to recap a massive year for The Food Guys. Somehow, we hit our 100th episode, welcomed 27 incredible guests, hosted multiple live podcasts, travelled to Sydney almost monthly, and were part of some huge food moments across Australia.

From iconic guests and surprise sponsors, to live shows, grand openings, and unforgettable food experiences, it’s been a year we’re incredibly grateful for.

We finish the episode by saying a huge Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, supported, and backed the pod this year. None of it happens without you.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when people who are genuinely obsessed with food get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on The Food Guys Podcast. Hosts Dub and Nectorious Papi don't just review meals; they dive headfirst into the entire universe of what we eat. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the topics range from breaking down the latest fast-food menu item to heated debates about beloved or despised ingredients. The discussion is always grounded in a real passion-they love to talk about food just as much as they love to eat it. You'll hear more than just their opinions, though. They regularly bring other voices into the mix, from well-known names in the food industry to local business owners and fellow food lovers. These conversations are packed with the hosts' natural chemistry, which means plenty of laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional good-natured argument. Tuning into this podcast is like getting an insider's look at food culture, served with a side of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s a show for anyone who thinks about their next meal while they’re still eating the current one.
