Hello and welcome to episode 168 of All Might's People Things. And listen, I did an episode

0:20.0

of this show last Thursday and so much has happened in the meantime. I mean, I just don't

0:26.3

like how I could have done a podcast every fucking day. What is what is going on? What is

0:31.1

0:39.7

was a time when this podcast was, you know, sort of defending the conservative government

1:29.7

was 600 people at least recorded. And I was saying, they looked like, I mean, if you

1:34.3

1:37.9

of 65, silver hair up and about early on a Saturday, you know, those people, you know,
