This week focuses heavily on classic Dom's testimony at the select committee. Was he telling the truth? Should Hancock go? Does anyone need to show that much chest hair?
I also look at the Friends Reunion show and the crucial issue of context when appreciating a joke.

0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 91 of what most people think, how, how are you, man? Did you watch it? Did you watch the second Cummings? |
0:23.0 | I mean, I haven't checked the tabloid press yet, but I'm pretty sure everyone must have gone with that title. I'm going with that title for this episode. |
0:30.0 | And there we have it. We have it. It's the most 2021 reaction to Dominic Cummings. We are going to take, as a gold democratic standard, the stuff one man said about stuff other people said. |
0:43.0 | That's how functioning democracy should work, isn't it? While a pandemic is still happening, we get some jilted lover on the stand who says a bunch of stuff and we all, we'll follow it. We'll swallow it whole. |
0:57.0 | What was we, we will get onto this, obviously, to be a big part of today's show and part of the reason this is a solo show because there's a lot of politics here. |
1:04.0 | What if you've just, I've got a lot of new follows recently. This is, this is a good episode to join because, you know, a lot of the, the patrons think this is the purest version of the show is just me wanging on and I'll be wanging on about the Cummings thing, but we will get to that. |
1:18.0 | I just want to say that it is very strange to have people that have been saying for several years that Dominic Cummings is the inveterate liar anti-Christ, suddenly with their mouths wide open and him just spoon feeding shit straight directly into their faces. |
1:32.0 | It's been quite a grift equally. I mean, people that were given it the old classic Dom who've now decided that he can't be trusted. So I think it's quite an interesting thing. |
1:41.0 | I saw moving over the other side, you know, it's a bit like, I don't know if you've been to a non-league game where half time because there isn't that much crowd trouble. |
1:49.0 | Everyone goes down the other end. You say, you're right. You see the Cummings fans going one way, you know, you see the remainers going the other way. |
1:56.0 | People that moaned about numbers on the side of a bus are now fully swallowing Dominic's numbers in a select committee meeting, but we're going to get to that. |
2:05.0 | I just want to say with the weather, I know I'm recording this Thursday morning, but the weather. |
2:09.0 | I'm starting to think that maybe God wants me to go abroad because you know, like Noah, he took a sign from the skies and it has been pissing down for ages. |
2:18.0 | So I'm really sorry, uh, Graham. I'm really sorry, Graham. I think that the Lord God and Jesus in heaven want me to get on a giant carbon emitting plane and fuck off to Ibiza. |
2:29.0 | I feel that's my truth. You've got your truth. Let's move on to new patrons. We've got to new VIP patrons and the VIP patrons get a shout out at the very top of the show. |
2:40.0 | Mac Gillespie. Mac Gillespie. Sounds sporty in Mac Gillespie. Son of what's the cricketer? Keith Gillespie. Jason Gillespie. That was it. Dizzy Gillespie. Do you remember that tour? |
2:52.0 | Yeah, this is very early for a cricket reference. Remember that tour though? A good bowler got absolutely fucking taken apart, didn't he? |
2:58.0 | Well, there's nothing English cricket fans like more than to take a very good fast bowler and bit by bit sort of dismantle their personality. |
3:05.0 | We did it with Mitchell, Mitchell Johnson. Of course, Mitchell Johnson had that comeback into God Jeff. If you've got new listeners, this is a good way of losing them, isn't it? |
3:14.0 | Doing a bit of cricket chat right at the top, but suffice stay Mitchell Johnson did have this comeback in 2013. Was it, but people forget when he come back in 2015, we got, we got into his head again at Etchbiston. |
3:24.0 | And that is really, you know, if somebody that's a proponent of mental health, I probably shouldn't be saying that I enjoyed watching him capitulate, but I did. |
3:31.0 | I did shout out also to Cassick Layton, who's doing a charity run and got in touch with me. I don't know where you'll be in your charity run now. |
