Crazy New Years Eve with James Buckley and family

So, what's everybody doing for New Year? What's wrong babe? Swap sides or no? Let freak people out, we're like Ant and Dec now. Get off. Move up. What do you mean move up? You can't keep pushing yourself in the middle and pushing me out of the frame. Here we go again! It's another vlog. Well, it's December 31st. It's New Year's Eve. We picked the worst time in the world to decide to do a vlog, a YouTube vlogging channel. But tonight it is New Year's Eve. Are we doing something interesting? No, of course not. Of course we're not. I don't even think I'm going to start until midnight. Are you? I don't know. I'm fed up. Come on, but you can't do that. We're doing a vlog. I mean, yes! Midnight! This will be Harrison now, because we were talking. I don't know if anyone else's kids are like this, but Harrison is the nosiest kid in the world. I'm just going to the kitchen just to get some water or something like that. Because if he hears you, if he hears you, if you go past the door, if you talk or something, what was that? Huh? He opens the door. Where are you going? I'm just going to the kitchen. Everything takes about twice as long. You know who he takes after? Davey? Yeah. Oh yeah. My dad's like that. Where are you going? Who's that at the door? What are you doing? Are you talking to me? Do you want to actually tell them what I did? Oh yeah. So James got me two pairs of earrings for Christmas, right? But I only had one um hole. What are you laughing about? I don't know. So I pierced my own ear. Which is probably a silly thing to do. So now you've got two holes. So now I've got two. But the second hole is a lot more difficult to get it in, isn't it? You were saying? Yeah. You were telling them? No, yeah. How many Bailey's have you had? Not even one. I kicked it over. Do you want it over? Yeah, I might as well finish that. If you wanted to make me another one that would always... I don't know. We've been sat here on New Year's Eve watching some um well, she's been making me watch Real Wives of Jersey. My guilty pleasure definitely is the Real Housewives in New Jersey is my favourite. I suppose we'll throw on another Housewives then if that's what you want. But it's also his guilty pleasure. I can't stand it. I just like... I like seeing you watch it because you enjoy it. He's such a liar. He came down today and I was watching it and it was kicking off a little bit and he was like Oh, what's happened? What's happened? Why is she so annoyed? I didn't say it like that. I just went Oh, what's happened? This is the reunion. We're about to go straight into the reunion. What happened? Why didn't they talk to each other for a year? What was Theresa's involvement in this? There's some children having fun outside. They'll be no fun. So, what's everybody doing for New Year? Oh dear. I'm going to stay up until midnight because I want to shoot your clock changing year. Now you calm down. Alright, you chill out. That's something I'm excited about. I can't even look back. I cannot recap the year. Nothing happened. And 2021, I've not made any plans because I invested quite a lot in 2020. You started 2020 in America which was looking to be positive. You did a show in America. In 2018, I was in a sitcom in the States which most people in the UK won't know. Most people in America won't know. Yes, of course. Won't be doing that next year. Left at the end of January and I was going to go out there for a couple of months. You were back, what? I was back mid-March. Just after my birthday, weren't you? You had to quarantine in the spare room. I was there for a couple of months. I had three meetings. For a long time, I didn't think I was going to get home. But you did. That was the highlight of last year for me. Apart from coronavirus, there'll be nothing to report. We did do something. We started a vlog. Which was really clever. It will be easier once we're allowed to do stuff but I don't know when that's going to be. Sorry, chicken nuggets. No, it is going to be crinkled. S***. I hope we get to do some stuff in 2021. I hope it's soon. I hope we get to take the camera with us. 2021 is hopefully going to be a year where I say yes to more things. New Year's Eve 2017 was when you guys had magnums. Is that what they're called? Magnums of red wine. We ended up drinking so much. I did drink a lot. I think that my body ran out of space. I think that's exactly what it was. As soon as I got home, I had to go into the little bathroom. I opened the door and my hand was like this. Because my hand was like that. It went everywhere. It looked like a murder scene. Well, that's the biggest lie you've told of 2020. When did you actually repaint the murder scene? I think that was this year. Yeah, that was this year. I did clean it. I cleaned it as much as I possibly could but there was still a remnant. It was like someone was killed with a brick in a tiny room. Yeah, so that was gross. As soon as all this stuff stops, there'll be some exciting vlogs over at John and Claire's. I can't wait to get you back to Barbican. I don't know, you guys are professionals. You're supposed to be seen as professionals in your jobs. We document what we get up to. How did John lose his job? That's vlog number six. Right, we're a minute away from the new year. The kids are still up, we're still up. I'm knackered. A little bit after it does turn new year the clock's going to change and I want to get that on. It's floating to my eye. What do you want to call it? Are you ready? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year! I want to try and get this it's going to switch over in a second. Do you want to kiss your wife first? I'll get this synced up. Oh, the clock's behind. Yeah, the clock's like a minute behind. When this clock officially changes that's when our... It didn't change! No! I hope it does! Does it just say 2020 the whole time? You might have to change that a bit manually. Happy new year! That's the first thing that's gone wrong! Start as you mean to go on. Alright, well, anyway, that was our new year's eve. January 1st. Alton BBQ is one of my favourite places in the world. They're coming to pick up my smoker and my BBQ today to give them a service. There's a lot of furry stuff growing on my smoker. So I had to wake up early to dig them out of the garage. But yeah, I'm hoping that the BBQ's come back in a couple of days and even though it's cold I want to start getting some of that meat BBQ'd. If it doesn't rain I don't think I'll be able to do any smoking at this temperature. Definitely get some steaks on the go and stuff. I'm wearing the same jumper as I wore yesterday. And the same hat. We ordered a little Starbucks. Watching a little bit of Only Fools and Horses. We're going to have some steak pie for dinner today, or lunch. Like an early dinner. Another steak pie from Scotland. Then we're going to watch a little film together I think, as a family. Got any ideas of what we could watch? No. No? Good. And then we're going to play some, which is my new favourite game. I love it. Harrison got Kids vs Parents Family Fortunes board game and it is I really enjoy playing it. It's really good. There's some weird questions. There is some weird questions and some weird answers. We're going to take the boys to the skate park but it's minus one degrees outside. Quite slippery as well, a little bit icy. Jude said now it's too cold but Harrison's having a little bit of a strop. He's walked out there. It's too cold, mate. He's not there, he's gone. He's like a teenager. Like a nine year old, fifteen year old. You look like a thirty year old, fifteen year old. Hey, that's whack. Shave me, put me in a school uniform I'll be able to do Inbetweeners again. You wish. I love that you think that about yourself. It's true. James, you look like a thirty odd year old man. No, you only think I do. Right. We need to put the Christmas decorations down at some point as well. It's slightly funner putting them up. Taking them down. Come here. I'm going to take you down. Stop! Taking them down. You're f***ing disgusting. We'll get some DIY bits we need to do. What needs to be done? Well, I've got some new picture frames coming for the new picture you got me. I mean, I've got a couple of new pictures that I like. Once all the Christmas stuff's away we'll get a little bit of home improvement done. Alright, it's New Year's Day. We're back in the kitchen. This is where the magic happens. We've got this really nice steak pie. It's a six to eight person. Steak and Link. Honestly, I'm dribbling thinking about it. Right. Yeah, my brother and my sister-in-law sent me this. Well, I say brother. Louise would have done it. I thought you were going to say something really weird then. What? Well, I say brother. He's no brother of mine. Oh mate, look at that. Check that out. That is full. Right, we've got to get that cooked. What are we having with this? We don't... Just potatoes, really? Yeah, it's just potatoes. I thought I had carrots, but I don't. You've got plenty of Brussels sprouts. Oh yeah, I'll be having some sprouts. All we've done in these vlogs is drink and eat. It's Christmas. Yeah. That's impressed you, isn't it? What are you doing with these spuds? Just going to mash them. What are we going to do gravy-wise? I think a lot of gravy will come out of that. Yeah, but that's for that. I don't want to be dipping into that gravy reserve. I'm going to have to put on a better shirt. Get me a chopping board. Grab a chair and bring it over. He wants to help and I said he could. Jude, you come over this side. Get Jude a chopping board. This is a new one for me, steak and link. I've never had that before. Are you talking to the food? Like Bob's burgers? Hey Mr Brussels sprout. Hi Bob. You can't hear them, but they're screaming in pain. So what did you guys think of our big New Year's Eve party last night? It wasn't the best. Why wasn't it the best? Because we did what? We did nothing. I paid them to say that. We actually had a party here of over 40 people. We were going mental. Are you going to have some Brussels? Only an idiot would eat Brussels sprouts. Jude, how many bits of sausage do you have in a minute? Ten. Might take up a new hobby. Go on. Tarot cards reading. You might as well just fully go down that road. What do you mean? What, I'm teetering? Yeah, you're on the edge. Can I give that a go? You can do it now if you want. I don't have any tarot cards. Get some tarot cards. In the book it'll tell you. Right, let's put the steak pie in. How long does the steak pie... One, one, shut up. How long does the steak pie... How long does the steak pie take Claire? Well James, I'm glad you asked. It's time to put the pie in the oven. What? I knew you were going to say something. Right, open the oven door. Oven door open. Do you want to see back when Claire used to be in love with me? Little framed picture of us dancing. Before we had kids. Before Claire grew to just absolutely hate everything about me. Not everything. Well, the main things. How did you open that? We should remember to take that down. The gingerbread street, yeah. I did buy... Hold on, the ice machine's just making some ice. Here's another one to add to the list. We bought a big f***ing fancy fridge that's supposed to make ice. It hasn't worked for years. It doesn't make any ice. We try and... We buy the stuff. We try and do it. We spend the money. We try and be those people like, oh, they've got a nice fridge and underfloor. It just doesn't f***ing work. That smells so good. Oh, that does smell good, doesn't it? Yeah. Okay. I knew you were going to eat that. What? It tastes so good. Oh, I thought you were going to say it was bad. No. No, there's nothing bad about that. Alright, how are we doing, Claire? We just pulled it up. It's looking good. Now add a little bit of Bisto. Give it a little bit more gravy. You've got a lot of potats. What? I don't know. You managed to make that sound like a rude one. How much longer do you think, Claire? Another ten minutes, maybe. I haven't eaten a thing all day. No, me neither. I'm starving. Alright, thanks for beating that. It's so cool, isn't it? Pretty and popular. How do you fit that whole can in there? It'll probably come right to the top. Yeah, that's what you want. I'm not comfortable with that. Why? I'll spill it down myself. Oh, James, I've not done the gravy yet. Sugar. Give me the Bisto. Start. Grab me a whisky. Any one's fine. I just need a little splash of whisky. Have you got this whisky, though? No, you haven't. No, you haven't. What's wrong? Five minutes, mate. You starving? Alright. Ketchup and brown sauce, please. Pepper. Oh, my God. I like butter. Don't put it back in. That's fine. I didn't touch the spoon. It's great. It's really good. Crust from the steak pie. Whatever it is, it's good. I was worried you were going to drop it. Thank you. Yeah, mum nearly dropped the pie. It's not bad. Yeah, it's nice, eh? Really nice. Want to try a bit? Yeah. Yeah, you like that? Yeah. James, you'll need to move that big middle thing. Harrison! Ready? Yeah, please. So, I'm going to have a bit of meat and then a bit of pastry on top of it. That is just so thick full of meat. Little update from the Buckmeister. I really like this hat. I'm wearing it all the time these days. It is January the 2nd. It's a Saturday. The football's on. Today, all we've done is we got rid of the Christmas decorations and got the house sort of, well, we're in the middle of getting the house back to normal. It's boring. Really boring. Claire doesn't think she's camera ready at the moment as well, so she won't go on camera. Say hello to the public. Your public. Yeah, we'll play some Family Fortunes. We're going to play some Family Fortunes now. And then we'll cut that. Yeah, I get what you're saying. But you've got to make sure you leave this bit out, otherwise I'll look like an idiot. A portion of onion barges, garlic naan, and five poppadoms, please. Yeah. Cheers. Bye. Exciting. It's exciting stuff. Just ordered a curry, but this is my happiest day of the week. How long has it been since we've had a curry? Oh, God. Last year? Stop doing that joke. No joke this morning. We try... We try not to. We try and have just one curry a week nowadays, but the last ten years of our lives, it wouldn't be a weird week if we had three curries. We used to be really bad. When we stayed in our flat, we were really bad. I never had to order. I'd ring up, I'd tell them my address, and they'd go, our usual, and I'd go, yeah, and then they'd bring us our usual that we wanted. You blew my mind the first time you phoned up when I was your girlfriend and you asked. I went, watch this, I don't have to order. But then you had another order, and they were like, oh, Buckley's got a girl. Don't pretend it didn't impress you. And we're going to play Family Fortunes now. We didn't play it last time, did we? Curry? Yeah, they delivered it to our neighbour. You excited? I'm so excited. Still don't have anything to watch. Just stick housewives on. Check out what I've got going on here. Chicken tikka vindaloo, poured over chips. But listen, before you start rice-shaming me, there's nothing you can say. This is just my favourite meal in the world. Hey, this is the first Monday of the year, I believe. And it's my first day back streaming today. For the first time in two weeks, I'm going to be live on Twitch for a few hours, which is going to be fun. If you're interested, this is where I do my streams. This is where I make the magic happen. Oh yeah, if you're interested, they're games from the NES right up to PS4. Little Lego collection. Some bits have been made by me, some bits have been made by the kids for me. You can tell which bits have been made by me, they're the good bits. So yeah, next sort of four or five hours, I'm going to be streaming. I think we'll actually play some Family Fortunes this evening. Not sure what Claire will be getting up to while I'm streaming. The boys start school at some point this week as well. And by start school, I mean log on to Zoom or whatever it is. It usually means that while I'm streaming, Claire basically is teaching the kids. The only problem is, is when the kids don't go to school, is that you can't get the little things done throughout the day. Things like washing, like things like that. Two boys running around at home all the time. It just becomes almost impossible to get anything done. Right, that's Monday's stream done. It was well good. We ended up having a band called The Long Johns come in and perform for us live on the stream. We were playing a bit of Sea of Thieves and they do sort of those, sort of sailor shanty type songs and it was incredible. And it was a really, really great start. Yeah, I'm buzzing. Absolutely great fun. Go check out Completed It Mate on the old, on Twitch if you fancy it. How have you been? I'm alright, mate. I'm alright. How are you? I haven't seen you all day, have I? I've been streaming. I saw you briefly when we got a little Greggs delivered. What are you up to? It looks like you might, there's a chance you might be doing something interesting. I've been editing all morning, right, and I've got one thing to say to you. Go on. If you are zoomed right into my face, please unzoom it because every f***ing bit of filming that I'm in you're right in my face. You can see the muck in my pores. Please try and not do that as much. Okay. I'm serious about that. Alright, listen, I'm gonna do you a favour. Hang on, come back here. No, but seriously! I just want to tell you something. Stop! I don't have any makeup on! Alright. So what have we got going on then? Some pictures came which I've already, I did vlog a little bit but I'm not very good at vlogging. That's gonna be a bit of a problem. Misery loves company, which is true which is also a shame. You're misery and I'm the company. What are you on about? I'm happy-go-lucky. Do you like that? Yeah, I like that. So you gonna help me? Yeah. Yeah? I wanna get your little, um... Careful. I wanna get your little Jurassic Park picture up. Do you see that picture of us dancing? Just, it's like, sitting on the thing. So where do you want it? You want it just, uh... Just gonna go up a teeny tiny teeny bit. You know that was given to us on our wedding day? Yeah. Perfect. I'm doing that thing that you hate. I'm being really impatient because I do actually have new frames coming. Oh, and you just do it, you're just going ahead and doing stuff again, innit? You do this all the time. You like buy stuff before we've got, like, furniture and things like that. And then it ends up that the furniture that we've ordered doesn't fit with any of the stuff that you've bought because you don't just be patient and wait for something. It's so creepy. It's what Harrison drew a couple of years ago now. It's called Family Forever. That's right. That's what you called it, didn't you? Yeah. It creeps me out when kids do stuff like that. I'm telling you, buy the stuff first. I've got stuff! Yeah, we'll have it all here, and then you can decide where you wanna put it. It's just so boring waiting. I know, yeah, but you gotta wait. She's just drilling. She's gonna drill. She's just drilling anyway. She doesn't know what other pictures she's gonna get. I'm just making my mark. Skid mark. I know I want this here. Exactly. Alright? Did you do the little stud finder thing? Yeah. Make sure there's no pipes or anything behind it. Yeah, I did, yeah. Such a lie. There's no pipes here! Yeah, but... What pipes connected between this one and the back of the... You don't know how houses are made. There's pipes and things going all over the place. There's no pipes here. Boris Johnson to make a televised address at 8pm to outline further steps to tackle rising coronavirus cases in England. I know exactly what I'm doing now. Yes. Does that look straight to you? Sure. So how does this look? I'd say it's up to you. Push it. I was pushing it! Did you check to see if that would come through the other side before you put the other one on? Yeah, I did. Oh, wind's everywhere. Now that looks cool. Yeah, that looks good. I like it. You win. You win. Get it straight. You're a piece of s***! Oh, is it straight, yeah? If you touch it again, I'm going to punch you. I don't care if you're filming it. Big change. That was a lot of effort, wasn't it? Just to put the same things right back. What are you going to do? Get some more? Get some more? I've got loads coming. Not loads, but I've got a few coming. I vlogged this morning that we'd taken down all the Christmas decorations. Yeah. Gingerbread street. Oh, you're joking! That's going to be up there for another year! Get it out of my face. I haven't done one of those. I don't think I've farted once during this vlog. Yes, you have. Oh, have I?
