Summary

This was  one of those weeks where I had to do a breaking news. From Rishi's handshake to Labour's U-turn and the advent of the PopCons (?!?) I felt like needed a catch-up / therapy. This one might reflect exactly how you feel. Or I might end up upsetting everyone.

What Must Impulse?

0:04.1

Hello and welcome to a breaking news edition of what most people think.

0:19.6

Now normally when I do these episodes it's because

0:21.5

one big thing has broken since the main episode i would say that everything broke this week politics

0:27.2

broke it was all going on it was sort of like they released all the big storylines in one go not just

0:32.5

like oppenheimer and barbie in the same week but also an avengers film a Star Wars film, fucking Blade Runner 3, it was all out there.

0:41.4

So I wanted to kind of literally almost go through the week to kind of make sense for it myself.

0:45.5

And maybe together we just sort of use this as a way of remembering what the fuck happened?

0:50.0

Because right from Rishi's handshake with Pia to Labor's U-turned, Stama had a tricky interview

0:55.9

with Times Radio, Rishy's commons, the pop-cons, if you missed all of it, which you're going to take

1:02.7

five and go over all of it together and make sure we didn't miss anything. A new Patreon,

1:07.7

we'd have one new Patreon since the main show, and that is Matt Smith.

1:11.7

I think that that is the guy that was Doctor Who. So it's great to have you on Doctor. I'd like maybe to go back to last week, actually. You know, I don't know if you can use your fucking Sonic Screwdriver. Is that what it's called? I've never watched that show, you know? Sonic Screwdriver does sound like, you know, you know, on the Sex Toys websites,

1:31.3

you know the really, the really funky end of Dildos.

1:34.1

The new Sonic Screwdriver, it will transport you to another dimension.

1:38.2

That'll be my sales pitch.

1:39.5

Anyway, I'm going to keep the opening of today's show very brief because I just want to get as much into the politics as possible.

1:46.4

But a quick thank you to the tour show. I did it last night, i.e. Thursday, in Stroud. I never really been at Stroud before. It's a very sort of surprising place. It was sort of part hipsterish. But on the high street, they had like two or three greasy spooncafs next to each other on on the high street so i don't really know what's going on there it's sort of like some weird culture clash but i mean look i had an all-day breakfast at six p m so i'm not complaining it was incredible that people came out with the weather being as bad as it is there's one thing as a touring comic where you just sort of go well i know I know how many tickets are sold and, you know, in that room, the floor was completely full. Will people show up? Because you sort of look at the weather, you look at the fact it's cold, you know, it's early February. You just think personally, the truth is, I would fuck it off in a heartbeat. And then I got there and there was loads of people, so I can only presume that they've got nothing else going on you know maybe they've all retired but they were a genuinely brilliant audience

2:38.3

and just to remind obviously the tour goes on I've got said the last tour date in Leeds sold out so

2:44.0

I've got another one coming up in March if you missed that and the only London date of this

2:49.5

leg of the tour is April at the end of April in Wimbledon,
