Podcast favourite Dom Frisby rejoins this week as we ponder Starmer selling out for far too little money. We also react to another botched attempt on Donald Trump and ask how someone with blue hair could possibly own a gun. In the Patreon only I go on a bit of a rant about how Huw Edwards could escape jail time.

Sep 18, 2024•45 min•Transcript available on Metacast Had to do another episode this week, following the US Presidential Debate and Donald Trump emerging as the guardian of canines and felines. But I ask whether American voters will be swayed by the nonsense? I also look at Labour's junk food ban and wonder why we can't hold people to account for eating too much.

Sep 13, 2024•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Marcus returns this week (and there's a bombshell reveal at the end as to his current position on Brexit). We talk about Labour's terrible handling of the Winter Fuel allowance changes and whether Ed Davey (Ed Samey anyone?) provides meaningful opposition. We also discuss the revolutionary idea that parents are responsible for d**khead kids.

Sep 11, 2024•52 min•Transcript available on Metacast Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me this week as we bicker (flirt?) our way through a torrid week for Labour. We ask whether the public are buying all of Starmer's 'black holes'. We also discuss the Oasis ticket debacle and conclude that old people are tired and young people don't like music. Francis also informs me of dark forces within the comedy industry trying to cancel his gigs...

Sep 04, 2024•47 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tom Walker returns this week and I gleefully enjoyed putting questions to him about recent cronyism in the Labour government. We also explored how left-wing comics like him are adapting to Labour being in charge and I got very upset about the price of poppadoms with pickle.

Aug 28, 2024•45 min•Transcript available on Metacast I'm up at the Edinburgh Fringe but felt like I had to respond to the glitzy luvvie fest that was the US Democratic Committee. Lots of rappers and jokes and about Donald Trump's penis, but did Kamala deliver the goods or just more stuff for people to meme in years to come? Also I tear into a hilariously woke announcement from the head of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Aug 23, 2024•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast Simon Evans re-joins this week on brilliant comic & analytical form. We discuss the worrying authoritarian tendencies being show by Labour (and whether you can impersonate Angela Rayner just by singing Oasis lyrics). We also consider the news that Gen Z are reverting back to old hobbies like weaving and knitting (maybe to save money?). In the Patreon only we discuss the case of a woman arrested for silently praying (you can't think anything these days). Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: ht...
Aug 20, 2024•49 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week Ian Stone joins me from the Fringe. We talk about everything from the riots to the Tory leadership race (someone has to) and whether Trump's dentures will last the pace. There's also some men's mental health chat, where me and Stoney realise despite all our big talk we never 'check in' on eachother. In the Patreon only section we put our battlefield knowledge to the test and decide that Ukraine's incursion into Russia might be good or bad. Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https:...
Aug 15, 2024•56 min•Transcript available on Metacast With the Edinburgh Fringe in full swing I finally got one of my comedy heroes on the show. Tom Stade has been giving zero F's for as long as I remember. He doesn't set out to offend but he'll never apologise when he does.

Jul 23, 2024•44 min•Transcript available on Metacast There's been a collective spaff of news since Tuesday so here I focus on Labour's first King's Speech and ask if all it will amount to is a few quid off your leccy.

Jul 18, 2024•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week comedian & novelist Ian Moore joins me to discuss just how close America came to civil war and why people being unpopular at school should preclude them from owning guns.

Jul 16, 2024•42 min•Transcript available on Metacast Matt Forde returns this week and we clash in a reasonably good-natured manner about the incoming Labour govt.

Jul 10, 2024•54 min•Transcript available on Metacast So Keir Starmer is Prime Minister. A new yawn has broken, but there were so many sub-plots on a mad night. Tories down but not entirely out? Lib Dems needing a coach rather than people carrier for all their MPs. Reform beating expectations and the SNP doing a 'Scotland in the group stage'.

Jul 06, 2024•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's a bumper episode this week as Mark Steel joins me to chew over the lows and also the lows of this campaign. We then move on to predicting everything from the size of the Labour majority and whether the Tory campaign is the worst thing that's ever happened anywhere to what kind of lectern ole slippery Starmer will go for once he's PM.

Jul 02, 2024•49 min•Transcript available on Metacast Two big debates to respond to in the this episode. In the first caffeine Rishi had probably his best outing while slippery Starmer looked like he'd over-slept. In the US debate Joe Biden looked like he'd had a nap which started in the late Seventies.

Jun 28, 2024•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Leo Kearse returns to WMPT in characteristically uncompromising form. We talk about Gamblegate dragging on and Starmer facing no tougher question than why he went to watch Taylor Swift. Meanwhile naughty Nigel Farage is on the back foot after being accused of apologism for Putin. I also somehow manage to tease out Leo's softer side when we talk about pregnancy from the male perspective.

Jun 26, 2024•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast In this episode I dive into the big leader's debate on Question Time. What did it teach us?

Jun 21, 2024•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week I had a chat with Scott Bennett who is funny and Northern. At the half-way mark in the election we reflected on the stand-out moments - from Rishi in the rain to the mystery of Keir's dad's profession. We also wonder again why journos can't deal with Farage. In the Patreon only we discuss the Euros, not least why Lineker was so badly dressed.

From Rishi's Sky Dishi to Slippery Stamer's Corbyn karma & Nigel's one man political blunderbuss.

Jun 14, 2024•54 min•Transcript available on Metacast Another BREAKING NEWS episode. I do a deep dive on the big debate. Why was Starmer blinking so much? How much coffee had Rishi had? Why was Julie Etchingham acting like their step-mum? And will Nigel Farage ruin it for both of them?

Jun 04, 2024•47 min•Transcript available on Metacast I climb into slippery Starmer's cloak & dagger purge of the Left and end up defending Diane Abbott (??). I also question whether Ed Davey is looking at a career and theatre - and of course we had to break down the landmark ruling in the Trump case. If he goes to jail it could be an HBO show.

May 31, 2024•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast This episode I discuss the Tory's announcement on national service and wonder if they've gone full GILF.

May 29, 2024•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast This is the first of many Breaking News Election specials to come. I talk about why Rishi was man enough to announce it in the rain.

May 23, 2024•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Had a very funny chat with my good friend Ian Stone. We discussed the strategic significance of Starmer's Salmon Tandoori. What kind of kid's book Liz Truss would write. Why topical comedy is harder now there are more lawyers. And whether kids should be taught to call it a 'dinkle' or a 'penis'.

May 22, 2024•48 min•Transcript available on Metacast I review Labour's launch of their 'first steps' strategy to win the next election. There's some praise for Keir seeming less like a mortgage salesman, but also questions remain over how bad he is at answering questions.
