Maybe you shouldn’t record a podcast hungover but I think I said some bad stuff this week. We discuss the last week of Covid politics, including shambolic Boris, forensic Keir Starmer and Rishi Lifehack. We then decide whether teachers are taking liberties before I pop off about Lockdown adverts. The show ends with a discussion of which of the main science nerds would win in a fight.

0:26.0 | What does stay alert me? I'm so confused. All these journalists, all the grown-ups in the room suddenly the moment that they were offered the chance to be treated like actual grown-ups well they lost their fucking minds. |
0:39.0 | But I know that the sensible people who listen to this podcast are probably taking a more balanced view of the last week and at first up big up all the people on the furlough scheme but you had a couple of drinks this week didn't you eh? |
0:51.0 | Up till October Jesus Christ they have this is this is very left wing isn't it you you know you know that the furlough scheme is popular when both the Lib Dems and Labor suddenly tried to claim it was their idea we are we are through the looking glass people with this conservative government are doing things so left wing that the left wing want to pretend that they came up with them. |
1:16.0 | Welcome one more all to the show of your your left ring right wing or or Lib Dem even unlikely let's be honest but this show is is coming out politics and social issues from from a slightly right of center point of view I promise you won't only talk about politics this week because but it last week I really went off from one. |
1:36.0 | And you know I only did the last podcast on Sunday and I was sort of thinking I want to get it back to to doing it on Fridays and I didn't think I'd have enough to talk about. |
1:45.0 | And look look at everything that's happened in the last week I mean last five days it's insane it's insane I also keep a cuss count because you know I see us kind of working class types we can't be trusted not to use industrial language so my man David Domain who listens to the show he keeps a weekly cuss count. |
2:04.0 | I'm all the swear words I've been using and last week it was as follows there were two piss two pisses twelve fucking one fucker I don't normally use the word fucker that's that's a new one one our soul four fucks three shits one twattie and no pricks no pretty that's two weeks running no pricks there thank you very much of David Domain for that if anybody wants to I don't know start doing like maybe graphs like the government got a slideshow you could get a Chris Whittie and Patrick for land. |
2:33.0 | There's a guy and as you can see here as we just move to slide four but the pricks have fallen off the curve there I mean that is a zero our rate for the word prick. |
2:47.0 | I want to say big up thank you to all the Patreon people Patreon people funding this show like the taxpayer is funding my people on the furlough scheme this a beautiful thing you know this is this is the big society at work this is what David Cameron was actually talking about. |
3:02.0 | I had I had to back off from Twitter for a couple of days I think it was on Tuesday could just because like and obviously I'll get on to the political side of what's happened this week later in the show but there was just so much nonsense being spoken and so much like people so many people pretending not to understand what rather wise relatively simple things I just had to step back a little bit. |
3:23.0 | I got my I got my news in the old school way I don't know if you've got any millennials listening but a way used to get it right was used to listen to a bit news in the in the morning yeah but breakfast news then a little bit lunchtime news. |
3:38.0 | If you if you treat news like meals or antibiotics you won't go far wrong it does give you does give you a bit more clarity on everything that's happening not having this like a hysterical paranoid conspiracy theory laid and left wing DVD commentary that happens on Twitter day in day fucking out. |
3:57.0 | I just want to say for we crack into the main body of the show thank you and I fuck you we do this every week and thank you I had to favor fried chicken. |
4:06.0 | In Reigns Park I went down to see some some old family friends with my new liberties hashtag thank you Boris and I just something notes that there was a chicken shop open I've missed chicken obviously ideally I would have been wanting or would have been wanting you know the 11 herbs and spices but you know favorite chicken will do and it was it was good it was nasty but it was just you know when you get fried chicken you can handle it being nasty up to a point and then it's like |
4:35.0 | so you know when you have it with a like a film that's so bad it's good and then it there's another level it can go beyond that which is so bad it is just bad this was so bad it was good and I enjoyed every bite of that I'm an absolute animal when I get into the into the fried chicken you know when you sort of like you do it and then you leave the bones in the box and then you get back in your car and drive and then your brains thinking still a bit of skin on those bones actually a little bit of flesh and mind the only one thinking it so I was going to know Jeff you're disgusting absolutely nobody. |
5:04.0 | I'm just saying I'm just saying I may or may not have double dips on the bones. I was not gonna say I fuck you to this old guy anywhere I live so there's this alleyway where I live not in any way such as like a narrow pathway that goes along where the river is and goes up to this nature walk. |
5:24.0 | It was really nice you know there's always a lot of people there this is this is a tractive place and but there's a quite a lot of old guys are walk down there and they'll see old guys. |
5:33.0 | old guys, they're the demograph that this virus has been, you know, most damaging too. |
