Had to do another episode ahead of going away until next Friday, not least because Ole Slippery Starmer's Palestine plan seems to be unravelling quickly - even for him. Not just that, Peter Kyle has been out calling other politicians nonces while young people seem to be breaking for Jeremy and Nigel. I ask 'why are young women so easily seduced by the far Left?'

In this explosive episode, Jewish anti-Zionist comedian Michael Schirtzer unpacks the realities of Zionism, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and media censorship. He shares personal stories of backlash—from a viral stand-up clip that sparked walkouts to having his Instagram deleted after being viewed by Meta's Israel policy chief. A former AEPi member, Schirtzer also exposes hazing abuse and efforts to blacklist him from LA comedy clubs. With references to Canary Mission, Hasbara propaganda, and Meta's censorship of Palestinian content, this episode highlights growing resistance to Zionist narratives—especially among younger Americans.

Delighted to have Francis Foster back on the show as we consider the impact of the online safety act for for expression (porn, basically). We react also to the super tense press conference with Trump & Starmer looking like a man waiting for an elderly relative to say something dodgy. We then look at the issue of two Jewish comics cancelled by their Edinburgh venues despite their shows not being political. I guess it's Fringe cancellation season!

Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list?

The brilliant Simon Evans returns to discuss a bit of family friction between Labour and the Unions (we also reflect on how it might sound hearing Angela say 'silly stunts').

A brilliant new guest this week as Scott Capurro makes his WMPT. For my money, Scott is one of the most genuinely controversial comics i've worked with and it was great to get his uncompromising takes on everything from a recent Labour poll on Starmer to the fact London Pride marches aren't what they were.

Gil's Arena Reacts To The 1st Round Of The NBA Draft as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down the storylines of the opening night of the NBA Draft and tell their stories of how it felt to hear their name called and enter the NBA. They kick things off with the #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg who landed with the Dallas Mavericks and discuss how the NBA's next rookie phenom will impact the team still reeling from the Luka Doncic trade. They also react to LeBron James' high praise for the former Duke Blue Devil and discuss how much the Mavs' strong supporting cast of Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving will impact Flagg in his rookie season. They then react to the San Antonio Spurs adding 2 lottery picks in this year's draft including #2 overall pick Dylan Harper and break down how close this Spurs team is to contending as Victor Wembanyama enters his 3rd season with a roster loaded with young talent. Next, they continue their discussion on Ace Bailey who intentionally plummeted his draft stock only to end up with the Utah Jazz, sparking a debate on if the Rutgers superstar played himself throughout the draft process before giving a breakdown on the current state of the Philadelphia 76ers who passed on Bailey to pair VJ Edgecombe with their impressive core of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Jared McCain. They then welcome comedian, actor and entertainer CP into the Arena to discuss his upcoming special Sunday After Six and virtually sit down with Award Winning Journalist Henry Abbot to discuss his new book "Ballistic" and give his take on the injury issues tearing through the NBA. Finally, Gil takes on more heat for his take on Ring Culture and offers a hostile response to Draymond Green who called out Gil & The Arena for having a take on championship culture despite never sniffing the Larry O'Brien during his playing days.

Comedian Josh Gondelman discuses his new comedy special, "Positive Reinforcement," which debuts on YouTube on June 27.

Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Bit of a smorgasbord this week as I pick up some political loose ends, including 'Big Ange' looking good at PMQS and problems with the Tory 'talent' pool. I also suggest the changes in reproductive rights might be a surprise to most people. Then I get into  correspondence from actual policeman on why coppers ain't what they were.

ABOUT SYDNEY KANE AND WIFE MATERIALThe talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes. Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table. Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)https://www.sydneymorgankane.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

It's a hilarious and heartfelt Chit Chat Wednesday as Jared Freid sits down with comedian Eric Neumann, fresh off the release of his brand-new YouTube special, Almost Engaged. Together, they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and the comedy that comes from it all.Eric opens up about his not-quite engagement and the real-life relationship that inspired the special, including his brother's chaotic divorce and the now-infamous couch painting that came with it. The two comics explore the tricky process of turning personal pain into punchlines, the healing power of yoga, and why post-breakup dating is its own kind of trauma response. Jared shares his experiences with joke-building after a breakup, the moments that still make him cringe (including the coffee bit that got him on The Tonight Show), and how to know when it's time to let go of material and people.From the origin story of “Napkin Neumann” at the Comedy Cellar to a deep discussion on vulnerability, timing, and growing past heartbreak, this episode is packed with honesty, laughter, and insight into how comedians turn real-life chaos into cathartic comedy.Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Get 10% off your Hero Bread order with the code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co
