Summary
Leo Kearse is Scotland's Comedian of the Year from 2018, and might well be the only conservative Scottish joke monger. He's presently performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he's reprised his standup comedy show "Transgressive." (A show which got Leo banned from Australian comedy venues for being too transgressive, despite the fact he was dating a transgender woman when he wrote it.) He joins Heaton to discuss comedy, Scottish politics, Brexit, wokeness, whether Scotland will go independent or not, Donald Trump, and Boris Johnson.

| 1:07.6 | whiz down the super fun 60 foot high fallopian tubes. Why not grab the whole family? Hop on the log ride and |
| 1:14.6 | plunge into the critically acclaimed and very educational birth canal. If you |
