Hello, hello, welcome to the show.

I hope you're doing well.

I'm your host, Peter McCormack.

I've got your co-host, the radical, Mr. Connor McCormack here.

How are you, boy?

Doing well.

Actually, no, I'm not.

I just read probably one of the most beautiful and devastating things I think I have in a long time.

Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. So this is our final show of the year and there was a lot to talk about. And we've been planning this show for a week or so.

We were thinking like it's final show of the year.

What do we do? We could do a review of the year, talk about the biggest things. And we kind of

planned it around that. And then we've been sat in a hotel for the last two hours, just doing a bit of

work, a bit of planning that goes into it. And Connor sent me a tweet. He's going to bring it up.

And with this tweet, we, we realize we need to talk about something else. It's not, it's not the big stories of the year.

I think it's what is the most important topic we need to talk about. I've been ranting about this

on Twitter a lot recently. It's about inflation. And so this was, there was a tweet that went with it, but it's a post from 4chan. And I'll read it out because some of you are going to be listening. And it's a bit long, but bear with me. There will be no collapse. The way some of these people think of it, it's not going to be like the movie Dawn of the Dead

or whatever when one day suddenly shit hits the fan and the prices skyrocket and everyone

begins to riot and the SS comes marching down the street to kill everyone. There will be no happening.

It's far more insidious than that. Read the poem, The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot and you'll understand. You'll just notice that

every day simple things will become a little bit more expensive. Everyone's homes and apartments

will start to get smaller. Your work hours will get longer, but your pay will decrease.

You'll see your family and friends less and find that in time you care less about them.
