Hi, this is Jeff just before the show starts. We recorded this on Monday and obviously with news happening so far

0:06.4

So I just thought it's worth letting you know hopefully this will go up on Wednesday morning

0:10.2

But obviously the big events have happened since then that we haven't addressed then that'll be what it is

0:14.4

Welcome to episode 163 for what most people think and you know what I mean there's been times recently where the idea of being in line with public opinion

0:38.4

You know it's drifting a bit economics have become a bit more left-wing but if you get off social media

0:43.4

I do think that you know feeling you know sad about the Queen a bit a bit sad and you know the end of an area and you know sort of just something that would be near in your whole life

0:52.4

I would imagine would be an incredibly common feeling so I'm really glad that this week I've got with me

1:47.4

And sort of nasty barbs about gloting about the death of an old woman. It's been really really odd actually

1:53.4

I think you know the phrase Twitter isn't Britain

1:55.4

I feel like this week more than any because in last week's episode it was a very Twitter centric episode

2:01.4
