Summary

Was delighted to have super-sub Ian Stone to come off the bench for absolute blowout merchant Francis Foster (who apparently is involved with a much bigger podcast). Me and Stoney evaluate Kemi's proposal to ban social media for under 16's and find ourselves on unusual sides of the political fence. That continues into our chat about Trump, where we realise that if he sorts out Iran he might be a massive Feminist. In the Patreon only I reveal why I ended up in A & E and why I'm a massive hypocrite. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

What most impulse?

Hello and welcome to this week's main episode of what most people think.

0:17.4

Now, I should say that this episode was going to be with Francis Foster right up until the last minute. And he, because he's a part of a podcast, which you might have heard of, called Trigonometry. Apparently, it does a bit better than this one. I've yet to see the stats, frankly. He'd already moved it once, and me and the producer moved, and then he ran me at last minute to say he couldn't do it. So I'm so pleased to report that Ian Stone, Ian Stone has stepped in at last minute. You're a better bloke. I like you more. I feel like I've won here. I mean, I said to Francis Stoney, don't worry about it, but I'm never going to forget it. And I'm going to slag you off throughout this episode. That feels fair. And I thought I could join in. You should join in. Yeah,

0:55.3

okay. I mean, the interesting thing about this is that quite a lot of people, when I put clips

1:00.0

up online, they go, is that Francis Foster's dad? Well, they could have said granddad, mate,

1:05.6

do you know what? That's true. I had someone come out to me at a gig, say, my grandma loves you

1:10.8

the other day. And I thought, oh my God. Yeah, I get a lot of dads these days, but I don't mind that because dad's taking their son to comedy. I'm happy to be that special John Lewis advert moment in their lives. But instead of exchanging vinyl, it's just a bloke who looks like an electrician saying fuck. One of the reasons, I mean, one of the things about Francis being on this week is that he's, well, he's part of Venezuelan. So we will be talking about the new Trump world order in the second section of the show. So in that bit, I'm just going to need you sort of speculate on what it feels like to be Venezan. To be Venezuelan. I've always wanted to be Venezuelan, to be honest with you. It's like it's been an aspiration of mine for a long time. But other people say it's crackers. You see, this is why you're the best of what you do. And also, did you see that when they said Trump was going to issue visas to only fans models

2:02.1

and social media in the way that it often excels started looking at Venezuelan women and

2:07.9

said well I think you should fast track these ladies and that that's I think that's what social

2:12.2

media's for it's the sentiments like that obviously this is a UK facing podcast so the thing that

2:16.6

we're going to be reacted to in the first section of show is

2:19.1

Kemmy's Instaband, right? Instaband. I'm thinking like a tabloid caption writer. She suggested a social media ban for under 16th. But also, a bit of breaking news, Stony. I don't know if you're aware. We're recording this at midday or Monday the 12th of Jan. Nadine Zahawi has gone on a Bosman to reform.

2:34.7

Did you know that?

2:35.7

Nadine Zahari has gone on a Bosman to reform.

2:34.8

Did you know that? Nadine Zaharwe. There's a name. Former Chancellor. Former Chancellor who opened an offshore bank account by accident. We've all done it, right? We've all done it. I was doodling about on Blue Sky the other day, and I turned around and I had 45 grand in the Cayman Islands. I mean, look, it's a natural thing.

2:51.7

People, the youngsters now,

2:52.8

they don't know what it was like

2:53.6

when we kept paper records of things. You'd lose that stuff, that kind of thing in an afternoon. He was also instrumental in the setting up of you, Gov, so let's keep an eye on those numbers from here on in. So mainly we're going to talk about the social media ban that's being proposed by the Tories.

3:12.3

Also, in the Patreon only, I'm supposed to be teasing stuff more on my podcast.

3:15.8

I, on Saturday morning, ended up in A&E, right?

3:20.8

And if you want to know why, you can, well, the patrons will find out why.

3:22.4

But I'm not going to be that cynical.
