0:21.1	Okay, I thought I'd get the book plug out of the way early this week. The British bloke decoded is finally out now. By the time you listen to this, it will be available to buy online. Not just order. Buy it. It'll get delivered. And listen, if you like the tone of this podcast and the way that we talk about stuff, I think you're going to enjoy this book. So please go online and order it and I'll shut up now and we'll get into the podcast. Oh, and another thing, evidently, I'm not going to shut up. If you buy the book, however you buy it, whether you buy it at the gigs, or if you buy it and bring it with you to the gigs, I'll be coming out after every show, and if there's people there that want me to sign their books, I will do it. All right, let's get on the show.
0:54.9	Hello and welcome to episode 216 of what most people think. There was a no fear in my voice. I don't know if it definitely episode 216 of what most people think.
0:56.3	There was a no fear in my voice.
0:59.0	I don't know if it definitely is 216 of what most people think.

1:08.1	But it was during the heat wave. So what was nice is there was a lot of women fanning themselves.
1:12.1	And I just imagined for a moment that that was because of my presence,
1:15.6	but it was just because they had middle-aged women,
1:17.4	and it was fucking hot.
1:19.1	And a man who might have had a similar experience, as you can hear,
1:22.5	they're joining us this week is Mark Steele.
1:24.9	Have you gigged in the heat of women fan themselves in your presence? I think it must have been your presence, Jeff. Was it a sort of, was it a bit like if there was a stand-up scene in the 1820s in rural Hampshire and Jane Austen was writing about it? Coquettishly. Yeah, because no, I'm not a big fan of Jane Austen,
1:44.6	but one thing I did learn from reading Pride and Prejudice,
1:47.3	I think it was that,
1:48.4	is that they had all these different ways of using a fan
1:53.3	that signified something different.
1:56.2	So if a lady in a ball used the fan from left to right, shall we say.
2:03.0	I don't know exactly what it was.
2:04.5	Then that would be a come on to the sort of gentleman to come and dance.
2:09.3	And if it was sort of right to left, then that would be, don't you fucking come near me?
2:14.8	That'd be like that.
