| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all, the first thing that we're gonna talk about today is, you know, we make a big deal about cancel culture here in the U.S., |
| 0:04.6 | but the UK takes it to a whole other fucking level. |
| 0:07.4 | Right, so this news story goes back to the start of the pandemic when Captain Sir Tom Moore, British Army officer walked 100 laps around his garden before his 100 birthday. |
| 0:14.6 | Or we talked about it on the show, he ended up raising 33 million pounds for NHS charities, becoming a national inspiration, even getting knighted by the queen. |

| 1:07.1 | having been prosecuted under the law over the past two decades. Like with a czar Ahmed who got community service |
