As I'm off being a sad middle aged to**er in Ibiza, I've share a third and final chapter from my audiobook - this time on Brexit.
But there's still plenty of the usual stuff, including thank you & f*ck you!

0:00.0 | What most impulse. Hello and welcome to episode 157 of what most people think. Now, I hope you're having a good week. To be honest, I have no idea what's happening in the news right now because I am away on holiday. I am away, I'm in a bifa, mate. I'm in a bifa. And you're going to ask, Jeff, are you doing the tragic fucking middle-aged thing of going, yes, I am going. I'm going to go to a club. I'm going to go to a daytime club, though, because I'm not, I'm not an idiot. Few sambukas, that'll be me. You know, probably need to take out a fucking mortgage to get vodka and diet coat. But yeah, you know, the thing about people often think about old people like me being in nightclubs is they think, oh, the young people must hate it. You got to be joking. When the young people see old people, they're like, I can still do this for another 30 years, right? So, anyway, that sounded desperate, didn't it? Like, I sort of needed to believe that. But what I thought was is I don't want to leave, look, first up, the Patreon exists. And let's, |
1:12.8 | let's not forget of all the other benefits and stuff, which I will be talking about shortly |
1:16.7 | for a change, is the purpose of the Patreon initially was to keep the podcast weekly and ad free. |
1:23.1 | Those are the two founding principles of the patron. Now, it does strike me that a lot of the rest of you are listening to this, you're benefiting from that. I don't know if they're, but the Patreon, they're good people. Do you know what I mean? They're benevolent people. They're like those people that just send fucking loads of money to an old school. They don't know if the kids in school sheds or drug dealers, but they send scholarship money. |
1:43.9 | Does that still exist? Old boys, clubs? It all sounds a bit non-sy these days, that sort of thing, doesn't it? But yeah, I just wanted to make sure there's a podcast up. And I'll tell you one of the reasons why is that I have a lot of podcasts I love. And they're part of our routine, aren't they? You go, right, I listen to that on either a Wednesday or Thursday when I walk the dog, |
2:18.1 | or I'm going to go to, got a drive coming up, I'll listen to that. And I'm fucking furious when it's not there. So primarily, this is to uphold my contract with the patrons, but also is that, I don't know, I think I'm a bit obsessed. My wife will tell you about this podcast, right? |
2:14.6 | I have this weird thing where once it gets around the time I've got to do the podcast, I can't relax until it's out. A lot of people, they just record them, they leave them hanging around, they edit in a couple of weeks. I literally, until it's done. Do you know what I mean? I just can't I can't relax |
2:15.4 | It feels like there's a fire |
2:16.4 | In my mind |
2:16.8 | I've got to put it out |
2:17.7 | But yeah |
2:18.7 | So what I mean? I just can't, I can't relax. It feels like |
2:35.1 | there's a fire in my mind. I've got to put it out. But yeah, so what I've done this week is I don't know what Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak have done at this point. Do you know what I mean? Rishi, he was getting stick for wearing a three and a half grand suit. Is he now wearing one from Matalan to try and be a man of the people. We know what he's like. Or has he gone |
2:34.1 | the other way? I would say go the other way. Double down. Double down. Go seven grand suit. In your face trusts. Have some of that. Yeah. Just lean into it, Rishi. That would be my advice. These people are never going to stop attacking you for your wealth. And I am not someone that has a problem with somebody |
3:07.6 | having done well for themselves. I don't give a shit in the same way. I don't give a shit. If you were poor, I just want people that are good at their job. So, you know, and Liz Truss, she might have gone the other way. She was getting heat for her £4.50 earrings from Claire's accessories. right she might have gone fucking all blinged out now uh i don't even know this is a problem |
3:08.0 | i'm gone i've got no references what who from Claire's accessories, right? She might have gone fucking all blinged out now. |
3:24.9 | I don't even know. This is a problem. I'm gone. I've got no references. Who makes |
3:28.6 | expensive earrings? You know? I'll tell you, it's my wife's birthday coming up. So I'm probably |
3:33.5 | going to find out that is a great, that is a great default gift, isn't it? Like, how many women |
3:38.9 | just get really, like, jewelry that's a lot |
3:42.0 | more expensive than it would have otherwise been because their bloke simply wasn't fucking |
3:46.4 | organized enough? Okay, so because I'm doing this ahead of time, I don't know who the new |
