Aid Thompsin & Other Disappointments

My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End. Between parenthood and the pandemic, I'm finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast). Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I'm not even recording them, i'm just incredibly lonely.

    #381 // Ballymeda Riots

    Israel's gone mad(der), Trump has gone mad(der still). Ballymena's gone bally mental. And Darren Grimes is trying to persuade everyone he's getting suspended for not attending non-existent HR training modules. ALSO: beatboxing nuns obviously.

    #380 // Conspiracy Theory Ground Zero

    HOORAY! The latest Right Wing conspiracy theory has just dropped, guys. And on this episode we follow it from Andrew Bridgen of "the vaccines don't work!" fame direct to Dan Wootton and out into the YouTube, Tiktok and Twitter-spheres. ALSO: Trump's Tourism Timebomb: would you honestly visit America now? AND: In a tumultuous world where Israel, Russia, probably China and America are just ploughing through borders they're not supposed to - we take a moment to, ya know, egg-on Mexico to just take Cuba. Because honestly why TF not.

    #379 // Multi-Hyphenate-Failing-Dredge-Lord

    Musk and Trump have fallen out. Some guy in Florida had the run of his life. And death. Laurence Fox is back in the news - AND: JP Morgan appear to be on a campaign to disrespect their staff as much as possible. Just another weird week in the run-up to the apocalypse.

    #378 // Our Own Personal Propofol

    A slightly briefer mid-week show this week as i gear up for SXSW festival tonight, the live show on Friday AND the Patreon meetup on Saturday (7/6/25) on East London. On tonight's show though: is the reason the world is getting crazier, that we are getting crazier - is that we're all becoming our very own entitled, amped up celebrities? ALSO: Fan-Favourite LEE ANDERSON makes a comeback to the show. He appears confused and forgetful. So we're obviously here to help.

    #377 // Maybe Not Marjorie

    Musk has left the White House. Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting into arguments with bots. We ask the question: at what point do we stop trying to debate people who obv live in a conspiracy-theory, fantasy unreality? AND: the world's worst Nationalist Rock Song erupts onto Instagram.

    #376 // Draw The Line At Joe

    Putin has "gone crazy!", while Joe Rogan has gone Christian. Farage and Tice have reverted to advertising taxcuts they'd never be able to deliver. And what is the most ridiculous idea for an art exhibit you can think of? DOUBLE IT and feed it steroids. I've got something absolutely MORONIC and it'll make you want to blow your brains out I promise you.

    #375 // Airbagless Slow-Mo Car-Crash

    It's Friday night, it's half-past seven which means it's time for a friday night show. Tonight we're taking a look back at the polls since Starmer went all ENOCH. Was the prediction right? ALSO: Trump and South Africa WTF. And why is Nethanayahu blaming Starmer for his own ridiculousness? And has The Onion's satire simply become the real world?

    #374 // The Dead Petal Crying Club

    Monorail’s Richard Tice set the internet ablaze by demanding we do not lose our Brexit Benefits in the new EU/UK trade “reset”. Billionaire David Geffen has SHOCKINGLY not found love in all the wrong places again. And friend of the show LIZ TRUSS BREAKS SILENCE on Minibudget (again) to declare it was all the fault of the evil Bank of England for doing their bloody WOKE MATHS BLACK MAGIC ON HER. This AND the internalised misogyny of Coveteur. ENJOY!
