WMPT favourite Dom Frisby was back on the show to discuss Starmer's big talk on defence. Do the policies match up? And should we show our kids rubbish war films? We also talk about whether the Left teasing Trump led to a rise in steel tariffs (and why we love the way he says 'nasty'). In the Patreon only section we ask if the French are losing their cool as they ban smoking on beaches. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

I get into some of the murmurings of discontent around the Labour Party (including some gossip I heard about the chancellor!) We also look at Farage's big speech and wonder how he ended up pro-benefits. Then there's the decline of Doctor Who: is it another scalp for woke or something else?

Following the historic trade deal with the US that isn't a trade deal, I look into the facts and weirdness of the announcement. From Keir constantly calling him 'Donald' to whether it'll mean anything good for Britain. I also ask why Trump seems to be surprised that Britain has anything good going for it and why they did the whole thing on a Sky call from 2002.

Francis Foster returns this week for more sibling bickering (we almost had a punch up over films). We talk about Lucy Powell's horribly flippant remarks about a C4 doc on grooming gangs, plus how Labour were considering fudging their winter fuel snafu. In Donald world there are movie tariffs which threaten global production but I also get angry thinking about Harry Potter being made in Latvia.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Bit of a change this week as I'm actually in a studio with Tom Walker (we definitely get a bit giddy at times as it's easier to interrupt one another in person). We talk about the upcoming local elections, including Labour's rubbishness, impending Tory doom, gains for Reform and no-one caring about the Lib Dems. There's also analysis of Trump's first 100 days in office, but mainly from the point of view of 'content'. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Part 1 Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman SummaryTitle: Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine Author: Gail Honeyman Summary: Eleanor Oliphant is a socially awkward and solitary woman in her thirties who lives in Glasgow. She works in an office doing a routine and mundane job. Eleanor leads a very regimented life and follows strict habits, which include eating the same meals every day and spending weekends alone, often drinking copious amounts of whiskey.Despite her odd behavior and lack of social skills, Eleanor is content in her solitude, believing her life is completely fine. However, her world begins to change when she develops a crush on a musician after a chance encounter at a concert. This infatuation leads her to spark interest in opening up and attempting to reform herself.One day, while on her lunchtime walk, Eleanor witnesses a man named Sammy collapse on the street. She and a colleague named Raymond come to his aid, and through this act of kindness, Eleanor's life starts to intertwine with Raymond's. Together, they develop an unexpected friendship, which becomes a vital support system for Eleanor.As the story unfolds, Eleanor's dark past begins to surface. It is revealed that she has endured severe trauma, including an abusive childhood and the aftermath of an unnamed, tragic event. These revelations are pivotal in understanding her current isolation and emotional struggles.Raymond helps Eleanor explore her feelings and encourages her to confront her past. With his support, Eleanor begins to change—starting to engage more with the world around her and slowly breaking down the walls she had built around her heart.The novel touches on themes of loneliness, the importance of human connections, trauma, and the journey towards self-acceptance. Eleanor ultimately learns to confront her past and embrace the possibility of a future filled with companionship and hope.

Following the success of Adolescence, there's been a long overdue discussion of the challenges facing boys and young men. Sadly, most mainstream discussion sees it as a drinking game where you mention Andrew Tate. I discuss the real problems and why they're so fearful to go near them (I also chat about Starmer being irritated at PMQS & why Putin might be mugging off Trump).

Such a busy week I had to crank out another episode. I try to return to more UK based issues, with Labour claiming the 'world's changed' and Reform having their first lover's tiff with Nigel & Rupert.

*this was recorded BEFORE Trump paused military aid, if you're wondering why we don't mention it* This week Pierre Novellie joins me to ask if the Oval Office bust-up is a 'I remember where I was when' moment. We discuss the micro-fibres of the exchange and wonder if it's only natural that the guy defending his country might be a little defensive. Then we discuss whether this is Keir Starmer's moment and if so, can he only do it away from home.  In the Patreon only section we react to the news young women now earn considerably more than young men - do we need DEI for young blokes?!?!

So much to pick on from little Keir's trip to see big Donald. Broadly speaking a success, but is it more because of what didn't go wrong than what went right?

Simon Evans joins me one week late but full of interesting take on whether the nickname 'Rachel from accounts' is sexist & whether Starmer is the man to lead the charge on AI.

Mental week so here's another episode. I start by analysing one of the best PMQs for a while, but deciding that Kemi shaded it with her 'Leader not a lawyer'. Then, with the economy sliding, we ask which room have the grown ups gone into? Because it might be the panic room.

First proper episode of the New Year and there's plenty to react to. Legitimate calls for an inquiry into rape gangs alongside Elon taking a 'keen interest' in UK politics and straying outside the boundaries of truth.

In the traditional end of year episode I reflect on my predictions for 2024 (shockingly bad) but have no hesitation making a bunch of terrible new ones.

A busy week which fully warranted an extra episode.

Was delighted to have the very funny Alun Cochrane back on the show. As well some talk about horror-show Christmas gigs we reflected on the assisted dying debate, the transport secretary getting thrown under a bus and whether being a bit 'Gregg Wallace' is now officially a thing.

A rare in-person record this week as myself and Jacob Hawley boshed a coffee each and probably spoke too fast. We discussed the frivolous e-petition, but also the hypocrisy of some Remoaners. We also got annoyed with Elon for his constant obsession with Britain and reflected on whether 'Bert' is a weird name for a storm.

Had to crack out another episode this week to deal with the Farmer protests, and an interesting clash at PMQs. Then - in the week of International Men's Day - The Man Whisperer rejoins us to chat about the big issues facing blokes and young men in particular (I also make some immature jokes about porn).  Order the PAPERBACK EDITION of my book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Bloke-Decoded-Everything-explained/dp/1800961308/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= JOIN the Podcast Patreon and receive each episode early, AD-FREE & with bonus content https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true  Join my MAILING LIST for priority Tour booking & special offers https://signup.ymlp.com/xgyueuwbgmgb Watch my COMEDY SPECIAL on YouTube https://youtu.be/YaxhuZGtDLs  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Simon Evans joins us to ask if Labour have turned the economy around....and are now steering it into a wall at high speed. We also look at Trump's picks and compare the glitzy nature of US politics versus our 'Colin from Accounts' era. Then there's the assisted dying bill, where we assess the nuances while also making cheap jokes.
