This is a global player original podcast. I know you're keen on Frinton on C, but they give you doggy cocks. You know that he was gay. I think he probably was gay. Probably.

I don't know.

I hadn't said to him, are you homosexual?

Don't give Corey a quick and. Neither do I, incidentally.

I would dare.

Cut back, Corey. You have made a fantastic choice in choosing to listen to The Where Politics Meets History Podcast with Tessa Dunlop and Ian Dale.

That's an incredibly tail-up introduction.

Well, my dander's up today.

Very good. Yes, please spread the word. We're here twice a week.

And fresh as a daisy on a Monday, I feel like a splat in.

I feel a bit like, no, I don't feel anything like Rachel Reeves. That's just a total lie.

Just really digging into the weeds of the budget. Which we will be doing later.

Yeah, indeed. Historic and contemporary. I think the historic might be slightly less depressing, just reading the news now. But I was, if I may, just not a big name to drop, but I was on the Jeremy Vine show this morning. And the conversation veered on. When are you not on the Jeremy Vine show? I've got to make a living. Anyway, in the ad break, has Rachel Reeves had Botox? She looks remarkably smooth for someone who's had such chopubby waters. No, she's got very good skin. Has she? Good like myself. Okay, you and Rach. I always forget she's your charm, that everyone, no matter what side of the political line, is your chum. Oh, that's very far from the truth. Don't trust a word, Ian says. He's compromised. Now, I know you like to talk about weekends. And I have, like, I thought I'd like to bring to the table. I was, you know, I was always, you know, the first month of doing this podcast way back when about eight, seven or eight months ago, oh, we're growing, by the way, nicely. If you could let friends and family know. But just to drop in that I was often criticized for mentioning Romania too much. It was at the time of the Romanian election.

And you're going to do it again, aren't you?

I'm going to do it again, yeah, just to prove that, you know, fall back on old habits, why not? But I hosted the Romanian community's ball this weekend. Was Lachshima there? Isn't he Romanian? No. No. I think there is a very famous Romanian in London called Radu Dragushan, who I hope I've got his name right, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. But he wasn't there. But we did give away in the auction. Well, he wouldn't be because he would have been playing against Arsenal the next day. Well, some signed memorabilia. Losing 4-1. Ha-ha. Okay, poor him. Yes, that's not very auspicious and Romania's not at the moment. It looks like it won't qualify for the World Cup, which I did mention when hosting the ball and it didn't go down very well. Anyway, I was doing an auction and the auctioneer was Romanian. He was a hairdresser and he came up And the first thing is that he spoke to me in English,

which is fine. I just said, could you speak to me in Romanian? Because, you know, I've made a big
