"To offer a counterbalance to the ever-hardening society make Lebbis and Jansen this year once a very different New Year's Eve ... no hard jokes, no insults, no shouting together, and certainly no links to all these terrible events of 2004. Lebbis Jansen and choose this year for poetry, for the warmth of the fireplace fire, for the touching story and especially to respect. "And this is absolute nonsense. Bullshit. Bullshit. Blah Blah Blah. A vergaderig of the LPF. A tactical discussion with the county. The setlist Gerard Joling Lebbis and Jansen go to this New Year's Eve DVD over everything that you can go over it. Now even harder! Now even higher! Now even funnier! Now oudejaarser, of course, but also a timeless document of two men in a turbulent time, two stand up comedians respects absolutely nothing and nobody, two well-built men who bear politically correct wristband as a cock ring. Because they can!
De cabaretiers Hans Sibbel (Lebbis) en Dolf Jansen maken al jarenlang oudejaarsconferences waarin persoonlijke en maatschappelijke gebeurtenissen uit dat jaar de revue passeren. De persoonlijke rode draden in de oudejaarsconference van 2006 zijn Lebbis' reis door Nieuw-Zeeland en Australië en Jansens zes maanden durende reis door de Verenigde Staten en Canada (mèt vrouw en kinderen). Naast anekdotes over die reizen, al dan niet begeleid door Lebbis' spel op de banjo, bood 2006 meer dan genoeg boeiende gespreksstof. Een greep hieruit: de angst voor islamisering, de wederopbouw/oorlog in Afghanistan, de kwestie Ayaan Hirsi Ali, het sullige imago van Balkenende, de hardvochtige Rita Verdonk, de Schipholbrand, de geheime CIA-vluchten, het gifschip, Lingo en de zielige paarden van Marrum. Met als uitgebreide extra's: Fotopraat, Dolf Leest Voor, Lebbis En Jansen Voorspellen en een Try-Out Audio.
