The buckleys are back with a bang the last few weeks, the vlogs are always a highlight of the week, and with the podcast now in video form too it’s next level.
I hope next week the Christmas decorations are going up. I can't wait to see james looking for the gloves for the tree. It's the same every year from the 1st episode. lol I can't wait
Bit of a weird random comment but if theres ever a remake of On the Buses i think James would be the perfect casting for Jack the bus conducter.....can anyone elts see this or just me haha 🤣🤣
There’s a slight problem with that. Todays buses are nothing like they was when it was made and the life my grandparents lived back then as well and truly gone.
Love that you put so much effort into your Xmas ham. Try scoring the ham and dotting with cloves, then all the maple stuff, gives a lovely flavour. Big kisses to Cosmo.
I love that chair in the background, it looks like the one in the Adam's Family. You guys should take a picture and dress up like them. I bet it would look cool 😊. Love your vlogs, take care stay safe sending love and hugs from across the pond. Now I want ham ❤ it looked delicious
I love the ham debarcle..last year the one you thought was going to be crap tasted the best even though it didn't look it..I love the little pup..but I do miss the rottweiler bounce.xx✅💯🇬🇧
James just to throw a spanner into your Christmas ham recipe. Substitute the water for coca cola. Not pepsi or any other store home brand cola's. Has to be original coca cola. Let it steep in the coke an hour or so before putting on the gas burner to simmer. Then when it's ready, let it rest in the cooked cola juices for half an hour or longer. Then lift out, glaze away and roast. Add a wee bit of Thai five spice with your honey glaze and everything else. Gives it like a cola fizz effect when it's done. Just my way of perfecting it after 15 or more years of doing "The Ham!" I do mine Christmas Eve night. A few drinks while everything basically cooks itself.
James, I also did a ham trial run at the weekend. I soaked my ham for 24 hours before boiling it. I changed the water with fresh every 8 hours. It ensures the ham isn't salty. The boiling does alot of that, and it may be unnecessary, but guarantees a not too salty ham. #HamFriends
Loved this episode. Really made me laugh. I can relate alot with James when it comes to cooking food. Why not just watch last years vlog for the ham recipe?
mustard, spices, dry rub, traeger, then in the last last half hour glaze so it doesnt burn :) but if you want to boil it first 50/50 water and cider pre heat traeger with bricks covered in foil then when you open to put the ham in the bricks retain the heat and your cooking again at temp in no time with no stall :)
Awesome video guys! Just awesome power couple! What’s James secret on his grass, I’ve watched all your videos now and he’s nailing keeping it looking awesome and struggling with mind 🤦🏼♂️❤
Canadian here. I personally haven't heard of that particular brand of maple syrup, but anything that says 100% pure maple syrup is usually a good go to. Ham looked amazing 🤤. Stay scummy Buckleys. Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦
Who’s still waiting for James to release a Christmas single, he started singing one off the cuff during one of the very early vlogs.. if ladbaby can do it, so can James.
Clair, I agree with the whole Stanley Tucci thing. If you haven’t already, watch The Lovely Bones…although be warned you may not see him in the same light afterwards
How have i only just realised the intro theme graphic colours are giving The Shining carpet vibes! Now i've got an image of James and Claire standing in matching frocks saying "come play with us Danny!"
Maple syrup is bonkers expensive here in the UK. When I went to Toronto back in 2012 I couldn't believe how cheap it was. I wish I'd brought some back with me.
That is the darkest syrup I've ever seen. We usually lean toward Amber colour thick Maple syrup. Maybe try the one that is sold In a Maple shaped bottle, next time you have pancakes eh. Just Kidding, we don't say Eh all the time but seriously try the amber one. Yum
Nice to see Cosmos fitting in SO WELL! What's your shirt of from the beginning of the VLog, Clair? "The Buckley kids take on the Christmas dessert" Would probably be a better fight than Paul V Tyson. (And where did James buy the ingredients for a sentient Christmas dessert?)
Did those baubles look the size of footballs to anyone else? I was shocked when Clair said 10 for £20 I was expecting to be much more expensive cos I thought they were massive!
Save the time go to the butchers over to the hot food counter ask for one that’s all cooked up. And just pretend you cooked it. Ah yea spent hours on this 😂 get some steamed vegetables while you are in as well.
Cosmo is just adorable. Get him microchipped ASAP. That ham looked pucker.. Is it just me but does James remind anyone of Justin Beiber??? serious when I say that. Can James deal with criticixm ? Great video guys as always. R.I.P PAISLEY.
Absolutely creased at James’ rant at the end and Jude coming in with the ‘’maybe just less maple syrup” classic 😂
The buckleys are back with a bang the last few weeks, the vlogs are always a highlight of the week, and with the podcast now in video form too it’s next level.
Feels like it was only a couple of months ago when James bought THAT t-shirt and you were putting up the decorations. This year has flown by.
Cosmo is so cute 🥰
Another great video has always James and clair and jude and Harrison and Cosmo 👍
Peanut butter and slices of strawberries on toast. Yum 😋 Thanks guys
OMG hahaha! Clair 'HEY not the Uggs' ..wee Cosmo...'I'm gonny kid oan I was going for a wee drink o' water` Soooo cute 🤩🥰
"would you like ME..." in a Scottish accent gave me flashbacks to George Galloway on Big Brother. I need a drink and a valium 😂😂😂
OMG I'm in love 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 that wee man is so precious and adorable, I could cuddle him all day 😍😘😍😘
The after dinner skit was hilarious.. comedy gold.. howling 😂😂😂
I hope next week the Christmas decorations are going up. I can't wait to see james looking for the gloves for the tree. It's the same every year from the 1st episode. lol I can't wait
Bit of a weird random comment but if theres ever a remake of On the Buses i think James would be the perfect casting for Jack the bus conducter.....can anyone elts see this or just me haha 🤣🤣
Spot on 😂
Ha! Yeah!
Is it the teeth pmsl.🫣🤣🤣 ( Joke) 🇬🇧🚌
There’s a slight problem with that. Todays buses are nothing like they was when it was made and the life my grandparents lived back then as well and truly gone.
@@RJAH355 could be set back when the original was made, doesn't have to be modern day.
The irony of james being grossed out by thinking the dog farted is not lost
Dont lose heart James. Your ham was made with love ❤ xx
Roast potatoes, gamechanger. Thanks Aunt Bessie.
the incident with cosmo and the uggs had me in stitches the most guilty walk to the water
ALL that work then aunt Bessie spuds absolutely broke my soul 😮 can’t believe you let that slide James
Such a cute puppy love all ur work it hilarious thank you both best too kids & obviously you 2 + cosmo
Love that you put so much effort into your Xmas ham. Try scoring the ham and dotting with cloves, then all the maple stuff, gives a lovely flavour. Big kisses to Cosmo.
I love that chair in the background, it looks like the one in the Adam's Family. You guys should take a picture and dress up like them. I bet it would look cool 😊. Love your vlogs, take care stay safe sending love and hugs from across the pond. Now I want ham ❤ it looked delicious
Master chef here we come,😊👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Crying with laughter! So good!

Great video guys....James was very funny. 😂😂
James is right a lot does go down in the maple syrup industry. "Dirty Money" The Maple Syrup Heist is a very good documentary.
Clair’s face trying Harrison’s dessert was a picture 😂
When he was talking about maple syrup his eyes looked like it was 3am in some randoms kitchen and he was having that chat 🤣
James, I also did a ham trial run at the weekend. I soaked my ham for 24 hours before boiling it. I changed the water with fresh every 8 hours. It ensures the ham isn't salty. The boiling does alot of that, and it may be unnecessary, but guarantees a not too salty ham. #HamFriends
Brilliant that ham looks bang on
Loved this episode. Really made me laugh. I can relate alot with James when it comes to cooking food. Why not just watch last years vlog for the ham recipe?
The ham looks banging 😍
I love to have a stellar wellar and dinner around the Buckleys
Adorable that dog 🥰
The puppy is so cute! ❤
James has deffo watched the documentary go on lad 💪
Stanley Tucci is in "The Lovely Bones"...cracking film, I'm sure Clair will have watched that one before!
Whenever I watch 'The Lovely Bones' - I completely forget that is Stanley Tucci. Outstanding performance.
So glad you’re back !!!!
Love your vlogs
Forget the water
Bath it in coke a cola
X

James you need to score that rind/fat on the ham after you boiled it.... Cosmo looking great 💙

Who’s still waiting for James to release a Christmas single, he started singing one off the cuff during one of the very early vlogs.. if ladbaby can do it, so can James.
I always end up wanting to eat something after watching these vlogs.
That ham looks delicious ….
Clair, I agree with the whole Stanley Tucci thing. If you haven’t already, watch The Lovely Bones…although be warned you may not see him in the same light afterwards
You have the patience of a Saint James lad. I'm from Scotland and would struggle..............
Such a cute dog!
You gotta do the ham in the Coke recipe! It’s phenomenal ❤
I just spent the last 25 minutes of my life watching a ham getting cooked in 3 different positions
How have i only just realised the intro theme graphic colours are giving The Shining carpet vibes! Now i've got an image of James and Claire standing in matching frocks saying "come play with us Danny!"
Oh I’ve not been on this for a bit…..NEW PUP is fab….is PAISLEY still with us ? Truly hope so ! Xxx
Majes my wednesday this vlog love it😊
I would love it all, but I have old taste buds. Changes 😊
Maple syrup is almost classed as a currency in Canada, especially Quebec. It's heavily guarded and there are secured reserves.
James!!! Pabloescasyrup 😂
❤looks good I always cook meat day or 2 before Xmas less stress xx
My fave kind of episode. Thanks for having us along!x
Cmon mate by the time you scoop potatoes into that contraption then clean out the excess potatoes from the contraption you can just mash them 😁
Maple syrup is bonkers expensive here in the UK. When I went to Toronto back in 2012 I couldn't believe how cheap it was. I wish I'd brought some back with me.
Classic Vlog Mr & Mrs B. James please tell me you're getting "mates rates" from your Butcher.... 😄
He's Cosmo Buckley, the Assman!
That is the darkest syrup I've ever seen. We usually lean toward Amber colour thick Maple syrup. Maybe try the one that is sold In a Maple shaped bottle, next time you have pancakes eh. Just Kidding, we don't say Eh all the time but seriously try the amber one. Yum
I’M Here Now Guys 0:57
I thought you turned into Sean Paul "Duty Duty" leaf 🤣
@9:51 why did I genuinely feel like James was asking me who was at the door…. I was looking at the screen like “I don’t know mate I’m not even there”
I’m in love with the pans! Where are they from? 😊
Nice to see Cosmos fitting in SO WELL!
What's your shirt of from the beginning of the VLog, Clair?
"The Buckley kids take on the Christmas dessert" Would probably be a better fight than Paul V Tyson. (And where did James buy the ingredients for a sentient Christmas dessert?)
Love the podcast, just wondering where you got your dark green pot from? It's gorgeous. 😊
Gimme some of that lovely ham eh
Do a ham every week !!
Buy Christmas 2025 you will have cracked it 😉
Don't worry James. At least aunt Bessie didn't do your ham. Unlike the potatoes 😉
'kin hilarious!
James, you don’t need approval of your ham flavours to feel validated. It was clearly shit. Better luck at Christmas mate 😉 🤣
Claire your t-shirt could be a size bigger
Never said this to another man but...fuckin loving the hoodie mate
Did those baubles look the size of footballs to anyone else? I was shocked when Clair said 10 for £20 I was expecting to be much more expensive cos I thought they were massive!
Are,you sure you used a tablespoon? It looked like a dessert spoon.
😊
Looks like Malteser wall lights
Like the green kitchen pot and oven dish. Where are they from ?
Love the Vlogs guys! i would like to recommend This Series if you haven't already watched it but its amazing its called "FROM" incredible series
I know James’ pain of not hearing the wife immediately declare that you are in fact the best chef in the world. Hurts bro.
Save the time go to the butchers over to the hot food counter ask for one that’s all cooked up. And just pretend you cooked it. Ah yea spent hours on this 😂 get some steamed vegetables while you are in as well.
Gravy needs to be like tar. That watery stuff needs to go in the bin. Lol
You may have been asked this already but was naming him Cosmo a Seinfeld reference? Cosmo Kramer
Do you not soak your gammon ham to get rid of the salt before you cook ????
I was today years old when I realised it was Choco-lonely and not Choco-loney. Must be a blind spot in most people!
Who was at the door? Amazon delivery? Wind ring the bell?
Cosmo is just adorable. Get him microchipped ASAP. That ham looked pucker.. Is it just me but does James remind anyone of Justin Beiber??? serious when I say that. Can James deal with criticixm ? Great video guys as always. R.I.P PAISLEY.
James, why didn't you use the maple syrup as a binder first to allow the rub to bind to the ham, school boy error....
Cant beat some wash your sister sauce. 😂
Surely James should have glazed the ham then the rub after. Just saying 😜
Cola ham with maple & mustard glaze
Just need to point out that if you doing boil the joint it’s not a ham. It would just be a glazed roasted pork joint.
I think it’s better to have one item on the plate that is sweet. More than one can get a bit much.
love the cooking vlogs. what recipe did you guys follow i would like to try it also
Nice.
What is the exact name of Jambo's Adidas hoodie? I've googled it but see different options and the colours don't quite match. Would love to get one!
Hi is that a Staff ?
