Summary

It's a game of two halves this week. I respond to the news around the cancellation of Graham Linehan's gig and general issues at the Edinburgh Fringe. Then it's some bloke chat as myself and the Man Whisperer ponder whether society dislikes blokes.

Hello and welcome to episode 213 of what most people think. I'm coming to you live from

0:21.8

the fridge. Live from the fridge. I would say live from the fridge, don't I? That's

0:24.9

somehow, even though you're going to be listening to this after I've recorded it, just being

0:28.9

alive at the Edinburgh Fringe. It is a world, listen, I mean, not all people. Not everybody

0:34.1

thinks that that is a cool thing these days. Just to update you, I'm back, it's on my

0:38.1

wife and summer up for a few days. That was very nice to see them, but I'm now, it's

0:42.5

made it worse really, because I've had to go back to my shitty student accommodation,

0:46.1

and I went for lunch yesterday with a friend of the podcast, Ian Stone, who's living in

0:50.4

a very nice flat. He paid a few quid for it, and he was good enough. This is what I love

0:54.7

about being a bloke. Instead of sort of empathising with me, he called me a twat for

to everybody who's been coming to the show at the fringe. I'm recording this on the Sunday,

1:18.2

it should be up on the Monday. The late show is the biggest venue I've ever sold out

1:22.0

at the fringe. It was 200 people at 10pm. We sold it out. I've been doing my show at 520,

1:27.2

and my god, I've forgotten how easy it is to swear at 10pm, and it isn't 520. At 520,

1:34.9

that's C-word. It just hangs on the air. Do you know what I mean? At 10pm, I'll spray

1:39.2

in the C-word, left right and center. But the other thing that happens is that a lot of

1:44.9

men have had more beer by then, so there was a lot of men in that room that had bladders

1:50.2

about the size of a walnut. We should say as well, the lionesses, I'm recording this
