Hello and welcome to this week's episode.

0:18.2

And well, since we last spoke, there's a cheeky, cheeky little war broken up.

0:23.0

Cheeky little war broken up? No, it hasn't broken up yet. I don't know. I should probably

0:26.2

timestamp it here because it's one of those weeks. It's Monday the 2nd of March at 11am and

Operation Epic Fury is breaking out in the Middle East. It's very serious, but obviously this is a topical

0:37.2

comedy podcast. My job is to try and make jokes where possible. I hope you understand that. And Davina Bentley making a debut. What a week to make your debut on the podcast. Yeah, I thought I'd come when there was not much to talk about. You got lots of jokes about war? Well, my comedy club gold about World War III.

0:55.5

So it's all like locked and loaded, ready to go.

1:01.0

I mean, just with the name of the operation, Epic Fury,

When I told my son that was what he called, I could see his eyes slightly get bigger. He kind of thought that was very cool that was called Operation Epic Fury. I mean, it is weird. I mean, obviously, it would be one of the big subjects of this week, but it is weird with Trump.

Like, you know, when they talk about, you know, we are limited military strike in certain areas. And when he just says, yeah, we're going to fucking get out there, we're going to bomb

2:04.9

It's a refreshingly honest take.

2:07.9

There is a like directness and a no bullshit to the things he says.

2:11.9
