What Most People Think

Hello and welcome to the fourth ever episode of what most people think.

Thank you first up to all the positive feedback we had for our first guest episode with Andrew Doyle, the evil patriarch behind Titania McGrath. Everyone said how nice it was for me to be speaking to somebody else, how positive it was to hear another voice on the podcast. To the point where I started to think this is a bit hurtful, okay? I put in the hard yards on the first two episodes and in the moment someone

comes up, oh, Andrew, Andrew is great. Get more guests on. Fuck you. I don't be really selective. I mean, the point is I won't be able to do guests every time, but we will do maybe every third, fourth episode. But I just want to bring you people that will be, I think will be interesting to you, not the sort of standard political voices, not necessarily voices that I even agree with, but contrarian, a bit interesting. Off the back of that, actually, I did have a few people asking me. I get this question every once in a while, which is, Geoff, are you a character? Is it, are you a spoof? Are you a spoof, Jeffrey? You're a parody?

That's how, that's how their minds work. Everything's like some fucking parlour game for them.

Yeah, okay. If you know, if you want to think of me as a character, fine, I'm a character.

I just, the only caveat is that I managed to, or I chose to keep the same name, my same voice, same way addressing,

talking, political beliefs. But other than that, if thinking I'm a character is what allows

you to come to my shows or download my podcast, then knock yourself out. So just a quick thank

you. Thank yous and fuck you is thank you to people buying tickets.

There's been a real surge of that for the tour, taking liberties, which is going around the UK in the autumn. But fuck you to the people of Aberdeen, Belfast and Glasgow. Now, obviously I don't really mean fuck you. But I really thought, though, this tour, I always get that criticism or you call it a UK tour, but you don't really get out on a bell. I've decided to go as far as I can, Aberdeen, Belfast. And I'm not saying we haven't sold any tickets. I'm saying we didn't sold many, all right? And the worst thing about this is that I was the one that really pushed for this with my agent, with my promoter. I was like, no, we've got to do this, man. we've got to get to Belfast. I've had literally seven tweets telling me I need to come to Belfast

and it turns out

don't promoter. I was like, no, we've got to do this, man. We've got to get to Belfast. I've had literally seven tweets telling me I need to come to Belfast. And it turns out that seven fucking tweets was the only seven people that wanted to come. I'd like to say thank you also to my son, who's learned the words to Uptown Funk. And the main reason I like this, because one is cute seeing a toddler singing,

but also the bit he likes singing most is up town, funk you up, see up, up town, funk you up.

And it sounds like he's saying fuck.

That's how immature I am.

I get to laugh at my son swearing.

I get to laugh at a toddler swearing, which we'll all agree is one of the greatest thing you'll ever encounter, but under the guise of kind of like toddler tainment.

And toddler tainment, that's a creepy word I've just invented. Toddler tainment. Jesus,

that sounds like something you'd look up on the dark web. Anyway, also I fuck you to a woman

at a gig recently who asked me to swear less, right? Swearless, listen, love, okay? She was on her hendo, because you know what women are liking their hendoo? They feel like there's this kind of like this sort of regal powers that bestowed on them for the evening. I said the word, I said the word, gum, and she went, oh, I don't like that word.

And so somewhat childishly, I proceeded to say that word 25 more times in the next 10 seconds.
