Hello everybody and welcome to episode 46 of the Alexyself podcast.

Now, just before we began recording, me and Talal just had one of those conversations

as if you're a left winger, the hoops that you have to go through and you have to monitor and police each other for thought crime.

Because I saw that he was swinging out of kind of anonymous looking fizzy water bottle.

And I thought, is he using soda stream?

Because, of course, we don't.

We boycott soda stream because I think they had factories in illegal

settlements in the West Bank. Other firms, by the way, that you should be boycotting,

obviously McDonald's, Pressamonje, Starbucks, and JCB, if you're for your construction

equipment, if you were buying a backhoe, don't

buy a JCP one or a Volvo one.

Or don't caterpillar as well, or their clothing or their construction equipment because they're

involved in illegal Israeli out demolitions.

But Talal said that he actually,

although he has a soda stream machine,

which he'd be bought before.

I think they were in the West.

I don't want to cleanse myself of any guilt.

You bought it?

You didn't know.

I did know. I'm a fucker. You knew. Oh, you bastard. It was fucking years ago. But look, I'm not talking to you. A crate of soda water every fucking week and go through it because I'm a, I love fizzy water so much. Yeah. I was just throwing so many plastic bottles in the...

That doesn't absolve you, Comrade, I think.
