Summary

The brilliant Alun Cochrane joins me to join over Trump taking over Venezuela while we were all nursing hangovers. We start however by digesting Keir Starmer's New Year interview with Laura Kuennsburg and wonder whether any of his mates are telling him the truth about his popularity (or lack of). In the Patron only section Alun has a particularly stinging death story to share, the moral of it being 'don't go on after a guy who juggles guitars'.

There's a lot to what most We've also had a Keir Stama's New Year interview to inspire and motivate, there you go, that's the earliest, earliest appearance of the impression of Keir Stama this year. And it's a good point to bring in Alan Cochran. We were just speculating how long it would take me to shamelessly bring out my Keir Starm and there it was within 30 seconds. It wasn't very long, actually, was it? Too short in some ways. I've been listening to a few of those, watching a few of those old Adam Curtis, BBC documentary things. Have you seen those? He's got an element of the Kea Stama about his voice.

0:54.3

So he's kind of up here like it's the same.

0:57.0

There's just a slightly restraint,

0:58.9

as though talking itself is something that you're not naturally disposed to.

1:03.3

It's very, very English, isn't it?

1:05.6

Like, a Scottish person never would use that register or even a Welsh.

1:29.8

But the big question as we start the year, I think, is Alan, when did your tree come down?

1:34.7

Has it come down? No, it's down already. I think it's something like January the 1st.

1:40.7

My wife is not one of those that says, oh, we must wait until what's the tradition is it the

1:46.5

fifth or the third i think it's today i think it's today yeah the feast of fools the epiphany

1:50.4

something like that yeah i mean she does not play by those rules there's a point where she just

1:54.9

2:00.4
