From the fog of a hangover I can confidently say this is the best sound I've ever produced on the podcast. The chat was ok too. Brexit, Covid & some KFC conspiracy theories. Also my favourite letter for sometime from a man who clearly needs to grow a pair. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Having been told RW comics would never criticise the Govt, I've got plenty of beef with the Tories over the re-introduction of Lockdown measures. We then look at why racially segregated cafes in the US might not possibly, maybe, be a great way to fight racism. There's a hall of fame letter, a fight between Kay Burlesconi and Julia Hartley Brewer too.

After we catch up on some of the more mental reactions to the idea of balance in political comedy, I talk to Andrew Doyle, brilliant comic and creator of Titania Mcgrath. We look across the political spectrum at some very hard stuff to fathom. From reactions to Lockdown, to BLM, Trans matters and why Trump might win. Basically all the stuff that could get you cancelled. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
So much woke nonsense this week I didn't know where to start. From the Proms to the LGBT express it's been a mad one. We also talk about why Nicola Sturgeon is clearly pitching her own daytime TV chat show. In the letters section English Breakfasts become my red-line cultural issue. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode I talk fast, but promise I was not on hard drugs (sadly). Somewhere among this I look at the 'Exams fiasco' (which for me started the moment kids didn't sit them). We also have a chat about satirical social media accounts like Titania Mcgrath getting frozen before a little bit of men's mental health. ps - I have now ordered a pop shield.

We have a round up on all things Covid and hysterical. From the people who think it's a choice between pubs and schools to those who want to live their lives in giant hamster balls.

This week we're reacting to Wiley's anti-Semitic rant and wondering if the far-left and far-right fancy each other. We then look at govt's pussy footing around the issue of obesity.

Me and Marcus Brigstocke have had a couple of Twitter skirmishes over the years. So after the most recent one I thought 'why not take it to a podcast' like real men. We ask challenging questions. It's political, sometimes intense, sometimes a laugh. I'm really glad we had this chat. There's also the usual bollocks at the beginning an end, from why Henry Cavil is a d**k and who would've won in a fight between Eric Pickles and John Major. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we're looking at face mask coverings and why some people are a bit too comfortable with the government telling them what to do. We also discuss the 12 year old boy taken into actual police custody for racist tweets. Then I propose that future generations might look back on this time and think we should've all manned up.

Been looking forward to this chat for months. We got into identity issues on the Left, the recent cancel culture letter, what it's like to fall out with your own side and so much more. I also do a couple of dodgy accents as usual and we remember a dodgy scene from American Beauty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week we're talking about headteachers trying to tell parents how to talk about race. We then look at the pond-life who leave litter in parks....and ponds. Finally it's a look at predatory males in entertainment and an appeal for advice on how to speak to our sons. However, most importantly, in the letters section I suggest that petrol stations who don't stock tea should be shut down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
After we catch up about the increasingly cause based loony Left, I chat to the very funny and very smart Pierre Novellie. He's that rare thing these days, a left-wing comic who doesn't preach or moralise. We look at a bunch of things, including the lack of consent for Twitter movements and why Brits shouldn't say 'ass'. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

So much to discuss this week. Comedy cancellation, Rowling cancellation, Statue removalation. Quite simply, this was the week when the culture war went truly mental. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
After some reflections on the recent race protests I look back at the 2015 General Election and challenge some of the cliched views we now hold.

We close by wondering who would win a fight between Miriam Margolyes and Anne Widdecombe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
After a brief catch-up on the Cummings & Goings (Banter!) I have a chat with top Bloke psychologist Kenny Mammarella-d'cruz (aka 'Man Whisperer'). A must listen for any men who are sceptical about counselling, Kenny has some interesting and incredibly frank strategies for sorting out your swede. I of course am immature and can't resist childish knob gags. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
One for the Lefties this week as I start off by climbing into the government a bit for recent incompetence. However, I quickly revert to type and take the Micky out of Starmtroopers who can't handle the fact Keir didn't do so well at PMQs. We then talk about the UN's ridiculous attempts to moderate people's language. There is also discussion of which gender you'd prefer to recuse you in a house-fire. Learn more about your ad choices.

Maybe you shouldn’t record a podcast hungover but I think I said some bad stuff this week. We discuss the last week of Covid politics, including shambolic Boris, forensic Keir Starmer and Rishi Lifehack. We then decide whether teachers are taking liberties before I pop off about Lockdown adverts. The show ends with a discussion of which of the main science nerds would win in a fight.

Happy VE celebrations. We look at the Left showing their tendencies to get way too upset about words. I also try and provide an explanation for why plebs like me haven't turned on the government yet. For anyone astonished by the 'Lean on Me' story from last week we have another instalment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
After a catch up about why the podcast is late and why I couldn't just sack it off and why many on the Left lose their minds when it comes to Boris, we chat once again to Konstantin. KK had a tweet which got under the skin of liberal journalists, so I invited him to give his side of it. We end with letters and an example of NHS applause mission creep that flabbergasted me.

In this episode I'm fully back on the attack. Against the numpties who always make the same point about St George. Against the journalists who seem to be more keen on gotchas than playing a constructive role in a crisis. And against a disturbing new trend in modern bingo. Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a guest! I managed to bodge together a WhatsApp interview with the brilliant Stephen Grant. After a brief catch-up with us guys, myself and Stephen discuss his filthy Blairite view on the crisis, and how he was in the unusual position of having to lay himself off.

Well, it was going to be a pandemic to make me up my output. In the first lockdown episode, we look at the immediate impact of recent measures, from the serious political dimensions to getting elbowed by pensioners in Iceland.

I take a keep calm & carry on view on the old Billy Ray Coronavirus. We also look at how the Tory’s Blairite budget pissed on Labour’s parade.

The hard left reach peak nuttiness with the trolling of the Yorkshire Tea account. We also discuss what an abject failure the #BeKind week ended up being.

Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - ht...
So I had the rug pulled by the surprise resignation of the Saj! We also talk about the Oscars and those luvvie luvvies speeches. We get it into why it might not be ok to wear off the shoulder dresses in the House of Commons and why Phillip Schofield's revelation isn't as clear cut as people in the media make out.
