After a three week break, Paul & Phylecia are back. What did we miss? Well, almost the entire Liz Truss era. Was she set up to fail? Phylecia has a theory. In this episode, Paul gives a summary of what's happened in the UK. Hold on for the ride - it's fast. What does having a British Asian prime minister mean for the UK? Does it open the door to the racists? Of course it does. Phlyecia offers some advice for how to handle those that feel compelled to tell you their views at this point. We talk Kanye West/Ye's viewpoint (spoiler: it ain't pretty) and how he's able to spout his garbage on TV opinion shows. What is a fact? What is not? Are viewers able to tell anymore? We went away, but humans still exhaust us.
The UK Government (OK, so Liz Truss mainly) is in chaos and people are calling for yet another General Election. Do we want one? Perhaps we need one to prepare for the end of the world, which didn't happen again. We talk a few conspiracy theories and find out which is Paul's favourite. Phylecia becomes obsessed with 'The Elite'. And we also have an update on the situation in Ukraine. This is key as we're climbing the Russian podcast charts and it's up to us to spread the truth now. We'll be on a break for a couple of weeks after this episode - our schedules don't allow recording.

NEW PRIME MINISTER SPECIAL The wait is finally over. Liz Truss has been elected by her party to lead the Conservatives and will become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom. Not heard of her? You're not alone, apparently. In this episode we talk through the process of how someone not directly voted in to the position can get the top job in UK politics and what leverage she has over the electorate in choosing the fate of her and the UK population.

Feel free to message the Department of Corrections and Amendments.
Paul was on vacay last week so no show thanks for 40 degree heat and lack of infrastructure in the UK. Yep, the world is burning with no water. A quick update on the news while we were on a break: climate, disease, the usual. In this episode we discuss how people listen to music. Paul is shocked to learn through his research that people do not listen to whole albums from start to finish, instead just taking the big tracks and leaving the smaller B-side type tracks to wallow in the background. We talk playlists and the different use of them. Phylecia is building them based on time, Paul seems to create random lists reflecting moods, places, memories.
** RECORDED BEFORE BORIS JOHNSON'S RESIGNATION ** When you have a current affairs show, you never know what's going to happen. In this episode, Paul tries to explain to Phylecia how the British political system works and why Boris Johnson is in as much trouble as he is. We also touch on the price of fuel and why that's an issue and how all of this instability could actually just be a power grab by the Royal Family.
Paul has been out out and is a different person now. Phylecia is also out, in Kansas City, MO. In the US it's time to legislate vaginas so they are the are the property of men. Hot off the heels of the possible ban on abortion, we now have miscarriage as possible murder and the banning of contraception. Strangely, no ban on pornography. Why is that? Have you seen The Handmaid's Tale?
