Summary

First up it's a big deep dive on another mental week for Liz Truss.

Then I speak to my fantastic guest Richard Herring about his book 'Can I Have My Ball Back'. It's not just about his experience of testicular cancer but a jumping off point into discussion of masculinity, comedy and why we both love TV quizzes.

Hello and welcome to episode 168 of All Might's People Things. And listen, I did an episode

0:20.0

of this show last Thursday and so much has happened in the meantime. I mean, I just don't

0:26.3

like how I could have done a podcast every fucking day. What is what is going on? What is

0:31.1

going? Well, that's the job. That's the job of this podcast. It's called what most people

0:34.8

think and it is trying to get to the heart of ordinary political views. And you know, there

0:39.7

was a time when this podcast was, you know, sort of defending the conservative government

0:43.7

and going after labor. Well, you know, I would be a liar if I didn't have lots of criticisms

0:48.8

about what's going on at the heart of government. Now, what's also still shining the light

0:53.2

on the opposition, asking what the fuck they would do. And if you talk about the mood

0:56.6

of the country, I did a Times Radio event on Saturday. I mean, this was a funny thing.

1:00.2

It was, I thought it was just me, Hugo Rifkin and Jess Phillips just talking in a studio.

So I did, I had no idea what I was in Cheltenham. I thought there might be a small audience.

of Jess. She's one of those labor people who doesn't hate Tories. And I think in the

1:16.3

age of Nicholas Sturge and Detest in the Tories, I guess what's that? I think we need

1:21.8

more of that. I think that's important for labor is, you know, I mean, they're trying

1:24.4

to win back Tories to not fucking demonize people that have voted for them before. And there

1:29.7

was 600 people at least recorded. And I was saying, they looked like, I mean, if you

1:34.3

literally had, like, what does a Tory vote look like? You go, well, maybe over the age

1:37.9

of 65, silver hair up and about early on a Saturday, you know, those people, you know,

1:43.4

when you see them at 10 a.m. and they go, don't just have in some lunch. You know, that
