Hello everybody, welcome to the Alexl podcast number 17.

And kind of like maybe after a rich meal, you would have a digestif just to settle things down.

After the excitement of our old Jeremy Corbyn special,

we're just, it's just me and Talal today.

And we're going to talk about my night with Jeremy.

And then maybe do some podcasts and catch up on business.

I think over the year or so that we've been doing this,

I've promised people various things that probably never delivered.

I'm not sure really.

So, Talal, anyway, how was, how was it for you?

Oh, Jeremy, I, oh, it was, it was quite a magical day.

Yeah, exhilarating.

And, yeah, upon a reflection, you do have moments of like, oh, man, why didn't I ask him this?

Or, you know, there are so many people who were wondering this one thing and they, they would kill for the opportunity to ask him this

And, you know, a man who, you know, you go around his constituency and everybody,

or if you go around with him or you go around, the people, everybody's got stories of

kindness. And I think it, you know, it also speaks to what a lie our media is and, you know, that that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, is, is, is, is, is, and that's, also, I mean, and that's, you know, the, that, the, the, that, the, the, you know, the, that, the, the, you know, the, that, you know, the, that, you know, the, you know, I've talked to a few, you know, talked on this podcast a few times is one of the things I struggle to understand is why, you know, why so many people got so angry with him, really.

And, you know, we talked about with Carrie and with him is that that he, I think, made people realize, you know, I think probably as Jesus did, that he made people look
