What Must Impulse.

0:04.1

Hello and welcome to this breaking news episode of what most people think.

0:18.7

And of course, there will be a roundup as usual from

0:21.5

some of the big stories that are built up in the week from rachel reeves blaming everything but

0:25.7

herself and our first pmqs back after conference season starma was under pressure there and then

0:31.7

we got some more late night spired developments to catch up on but but you join us in the white

0:37.0

heat of jeff getting cancelled i'm in the white heat of Jeff getting cancelled

0:38.6

I'm in the process of being cancelled on TikTok by the town of Aldershot right so as you

0:44.4

know it's one of the bigger rooms on the tour it's sold all right I just want more people to be

0:47.9

there so I made a video of what I thought was quite clearly a tongue-in-cheek call-out of the people of Aldershot, which didn't exactly go down that well. Let me just play you, I might play you all of it now. People are of Aldershot. Seriously, man, I was good enough to bring my show to your squalid little town this Saturday, and I just just found out there's only 65% sold.

1:11.3

I'm not, what's going on? What is going on? What else is there to do in order shot on a Saturday night? Have takeaway or watch squatties beat up somebody outside Yates is. I don't know. You're probably last town in Britain to even have a Yates is. And you know what really gets me is I could have gone Guilford. I could have told sold out another show in Guildford, Easy. Farnham, nicer restaurants, you know. But no, I said, you know, people have orders up, they don't have much in their lives and this will be, this will be a nice treat for them. But as we stand, unless this show, unless it gets up to 75%, that is it, we're done. Okay, so maybe you listen to the podcast and you will have a head start on realizing that I was taking the piss, right?

1:49.4

I would have thought even starting anything with people of Aldershot, calling it a squalid little town.

1:56.2

I mean, moaning about it being two-thirds sold, which isn't even that bad, and then claiming that I wasn't going to come unless it sold 75%,

2:03.4

which isn't even that much more, making jokes about, Yates's, why not, anyway, right? This did not go down well. I did this video last night. By the way, if you came to the show in Swindon last night, thanks, that was a great crowd. And then I woke up and Jesus Christ, some of the comment, I mean, 90% of them were like, who are you? You're a prick. Our soul, your shit of PR. Don't come here. I mean, really, most of them are, who are you? A lot of spelling errors. I'm going to say it. There's one guy that said, what do you say? I was almost offended, Jeff, but then it dawned on me. I haven't a clue who you are. You just said, Jeff, all right? Secondly, why would whether or not you know who I am determine, anyway, so I've had to, the promoter got a bit spooks. I've had to do an apology to the people of all the shot. And basically basically all I did was repeat the same things that I said

2:52.3

and also just do a little drive-by comment on Godalman as well.

2:57.2

So, you know, this is a lesson.

3:00.2

You know what pisses me off?

3:01.1

And I mention this in the video.

3:02.4

It's on TikTok.

3:03.4

I haven't been able to get anything to go viral or even do like a thousand views.

3:08.3

I do some stupid tongue-in-cheek video about Aldershot.

3:11.7

Suddenly, I've got some restraining order and I can't go any closer than Farnum.
