What Most Impulse. Hello and welcome to episode 153 of what most people think and I hope you are enjoying the frills and spills of the Tory

0:22.4

leadership race. Just anybody who listened to the bonus Boris resignation special that I put

0:28.1

out of the weekend. Two predictions already come true. Ben Wallace, I said that he'd pull out for

0:32.9

reasons I couldn't possibly discuss because what most people think legal team are a bit,

0:38.5

a bit edgy in and around that. And then Penny Morden, who I said, you might see

0:42.6

start to adapt her fairly woke views on trans rights, certainly within the conservative context.

0:48.2

And lo and behold, Penny, Penny's views are transitioning too. So keep an eye on that as we go.

0:54.3

We do have a special guest this week, very special guests.

0:56.9

We normally see him for the Christmas shows,

0:59.1

but I thought we'd bring him in for the half-year show.

1:02.5

It is Ramesh Ranganafam.

1:04.0

Welcome back to the show.

1:06.0

Jeff, thank you so much for having me, man.

1:07.9

You know, last time I came on the show, you gave me my trophy. What's the official title? The CusCamp, that's it. The CusCamp trophy that's got prior to place in my office. I thank you very much for that. Well, you know, after that it was retired. Yeah, because you didn't think it could be beaten. It couldn't be being. And then also there was a really dismal period where I tried to have another idea because I thought it was a winner, you know, having a returning feature. And I come up with something that long-term listeners remember briefly called the erm curve, which was let's just track how many times people say, um. And it wasn't as entertaining, I have to say. And also, there was a slight feel from a couple of guests that it was sort of trying to trip them up and put pressure on them. Yeah, you know, you don't want to come on to, you don't want to come to your podcast to play just a minute, do you? You know what, do you think about swearing because like I do I do the will for now of

2:03.5

Big Tom, Tom Davis and we swear a lot on that because the problem is and I think it's a similar

2:09.6

problem with you is that we're both swearers and so what happens is if you're a swearer and you're

2:16.8

talking to a non-swearer what happens is just naturally you're a swearer and you're talking to a non-swearer, what happens

2:18.7

is just naturally you kind of bring it down a little bit. But when you're with somebody that you

2:23.4

feel comfortable about swearing around, what happens is you both kind of seem to, you both

2:27.8

seem to kind of subconsciously egg each other on. Yeah. So I don't know how, I don't find

2:33.8

swearing offensive in the slightest, but we have, we've had complaints on our podcast about him a number of F-bombs we drop on that. Well, I think, I think it's the nature of the way that it's said, isn't it? Like there's the invective behind it. If it fuck is used as a, as a comma, people generally tend not to notice it. you know if you're trying to remember something you go what's that fucking thing you know there's a very different to go

2:34.2

you know, there's a way that people swear in British gangster films where they go, don't be so fucking stupid. Even then, that would annoy people hearing that. Yeah. Because there's invective behind it. So it's... Yeah, my problem is that I use...
