Summary

In the week of the budget there was no better guest than comedian and financial oracle Dominic Frisby. We make predictions, but also consider bizarre forfeits for leaking to the press. With a deal in Ukraine looming, we apply our limited knowledge to developments and wonder why Trump gets golf clubs out of these deals while our guy only gets free glasses. In the Patron only section it's more DEATH STORIES as we trade mortifying failures on stage.

What most people.

Hello and welcome to what most people think and it is finally budget week.

0:17.6

We made it a bit like the buildup to the ashes, although probably, well, I would

0:21.4

say I hope for a less disastrous outcome, but I'm not sure how it could be worse than England

0:26.1

losing in two days. But look, we'll try and move on for that. We try and be positive. And in the

0:30.9

sign that I don't just throw this show together, I've got this week, comedian and financial

0:35.6

Oracle, Dominic Frisbee. Dominic, are you psyched up for the

0:39.4

for the budget? I'm massively psyched. There's been a lot of hype and this is this is the big

0:45.4

week. I've never known hype. Are you having the lads round? Are you doing a bit of a watch party? Get

0:49.6

some stimulants in, some beer? I should really. I've got Sky, especially to watch it. I've bought Sky.

0:56.7

Paperview. I mean, it does feel like the way it's been previewed. There is a certain kind of

1:01.0

political and financial nerd where I am sort of excited about it, but in the way that, well, it sort

1:06.8

feels like being excited for a root canal in that I kind of want to be on the other side of

1:12.2

the root canal. I know it's going to be terrible, but I just want to know how terrible.

1:16.2

I do think pay-per-view for political speeches could be one way of solving the budget deficit.

1:24.1

I think the people that would get people paying to watch them would be the Farages and

1:29.2

the Zach Polanskys. I don't think, I can't think of anyone from the two main parties that's

1:33.2

absolute fucking box office. Well, no, that's one of the problems that they have. But this one,

1:37.8

because of the, this one is all about the information rather than the star. It's about the writer,

1:43.5

not the, not the actor. Yeah, no, there's very few

1:47.2

stars at the moment. So we're going to preview the budget, the leaks, the effect of the delays
