Summary

Having been told RW comics would never criticise the Govt, I've got plenty of beef with the Tories over the re-introduction of Lockdown measures. We then look at why racially segregated cafes in the US might not possibly, maybe, be a great way to fight racism. There's a hall of fame letter, a fight between Kay Burlesconi and Julia Hartley Brewer too.

What Most People Think

0:07.0

Hello and welcome to episode 54 of What Most People Think.

0:17.8

Now can you hear that?

0:20.0

And by what can you hear that, And by, can you hear that?

0:21.2

I mean, can you not hear that? And by not hear that, I mean, echoes. I bought a little bit of soundproofing people. That's thanks to the Patreon. I've got a pop shield now. I've got soundproofing. So do you remember last week, when everyone was saying, oh, you know, the problem with having right wing comedians on is the Tories are in power

0:18.4

and all they would want to do

0:19.9

is just continually high-five and bum-kiss the Tory administration. But let me tell you, with these new restrictions, I've got plenty of beef. I've got plenty of beef to get off my chest. And, you know, it's funny, really, that a lot of left-wing comics don't have much to say.

1:10.8

You know, they criticise the toys all the time. And when it comes to an absolute assault on our civil liberties, and Matt Hancock, someone needs to tell him, right, in interviews, we've got into this early and I thought it would, but he stopped, you know when they say to you, Matt, or will you be canceling Christmas?

1:31.8

And he goes, well, I don't want to. Yeah, Matt, you don't have the power to cancel Christmas. Stop answering the question, you dickhead. Yeah, it makes you look like the bad guy in a 90s family film, doesn't it? It makes you just, it's not your call, Matt. So, yeah, this is what most people think. This is a show that tries to represent normal views that perhaps aren't so common at the moment in comedy.

1:33.0

Though, as I say that, as I say that, I just read a story that this Fox, this nightly news channel,

1:39.9

this right-wing news vehicle in the UK might be having a nightly comedy show.

1:43.2

So let me tell you, there will be a little prediction from what most people think is that there will be, well, what most comedians think might change a bit when there's money on the table. You're going to be seeing a lot more comedians discovering their libertarian streak. And on that note, on that note, now, you know, I'm supposed to be right with him. It's supposed to be all about the money, right? This week, because of the Patreon, right? And because it's built up and because I'm still growing it, a big podcast platform came in for me, the biggest. And we're talking about sponsorship and advertising. And I said no. And you're probably something you're thinking, you fucking idiot, Jeff. But look look here's the point right is that these things come and go I think the podcast thing is

2:22.6

it's my thing it's our thing right and they ask questions they ask questions about

2:27.8

material and you think in this climber I just don't think it's safe you want to have

2:32.4

your own point of view out there,

2:34.4

it only takes one question, doesn't it? Yeah, Jeff, you know, like these guys, they're willing to pay like big bucks, yeah. So they just want to know whether or not you're going to go with, you know, around the trans thing or the Black Lives Matter thing. And I would rather just add for this one thing in my life, complete creative freedom. And on that note, right, 10 pound patrons, there's been a few this week, which helps me. It helps me knock these people back. By the way, if these people are listening, I'm not knocking you back forever. If the patrons all fuck off, then you could be damn sure I'll be on the phone. Will Puttergill. Will Puttergill. What a brilliant name. You sound like a fucking role-dial character. A welcome return of Graham Barnett. Now, Graham got in touch with me and said that Patreon had just cancelled his subscription. Now, if you have a double check, see if it's come out, and if you still want to be a part of it. Because there were a few Patients that like i had a drop off about 10 in a week and i thought what i said but but yeah just have a check and if it's still something you want to be involved in just get it reset up because there's lots of stuff coming soon which i'll talk about later in the show uh graham barnet's back uh david forb is now part of the Patreon thing. Welcome to David and Martin

3:42.5

Harriet. What brilliant name. Martin Heriot. You sound like the fucking poet laureate, Martin.

3:48.3

So if you're new to this, one thing we do is a cuss count. We're just like the daily briefings

3:53.5

where we're keeping track of the curve of the swelling here. And last week's work, but bear i had the guest andrew doyle by the way thanks so much for the feedback from that it really it was really interesting most people loved it a few people sort of divide gotten divided because i think that because i'd had marcus briggs stock and david bedil they sort of thought oh this is what jeff's going to do he's going to have people and disagree with him then I get to hear you know my views out no I will go anywhere for a guest I don't care is what is what

4:19.7

being a liberal means to me anyway this will give myself a massive pat on the back there did you hear

4:25.3

that could I should just grow another arm so I can literally pat myself on the back last week's

4:30.4

cuss count was as follows.
