Summary

THIS IS A TRAILER! SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE OR PATREON TO HEAR THE FULL EPISODE We have heard your pleas. The news has made them even more urgent. We're going to do a whole main feed Peter Mandelson episode in Season 10: but for now, here's a taste of our legally-bounded musings on his arrest and what it says about UK political culture. We also talk about a Wired article about a supposed gay mafia in the tech world that doesn't deliver on its promises, and take Gaggony Guncles questions from an enby worried about their relationships with their cis family and a cis woman wondering what to call her enby coparent. Plus, we descend into madness imagining Liza Minnelli hosting a floor mop infomercial.

0:56.6	joke during the cartel violence in Puerto Vallata. The answer is yes. Yes, that is what that was a
1:01.6	picture of. Our expectations are very low and consistently fail to be met. I have to...
1:08.0	It's really unbelievable. Constantly lowering the bar for everyone.
1:12.7	I have to say, Ben, I do regard you as morally responsible for your own algorithm.
1:16.5	I've never seen such a thing on Instagram.
1:23.9	So, Ben, let's get on with the show.
1:27.3	I think today we want to talk about a very important sort of ongoing news scandal.
