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.

    #459 // Pair Of Ears In A Rainbow T-Shirt

    It's another week of barrell scraping lows and god awful sh*tness. This time everything from flea infestations and the wild expectations of boomer parents to boot. One of Farage's Disciples wins the Tap Dancing Tosser award. And a teacher wins some jailtime for doing literally the worst things you can imagine a teacher doing. Here are some links i really hope you click: Patreon -- if you want episodes 2 days earlier than ev1 else, Discord chat, London meetups, end of show credit, 121-chat with me Write Me A Review -- on Apple Podcasts, would be amaaaaazing Say "Hullo!" or give me a shout out on one of the usual: Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok

    #458 // Child Star At The Wrap Party

    Makerfield has HAPPENED. Keir Starmer is REVIEWING HIS OPTIONS. Trump's Peace Deal Is HILARIOUS. Tampa Bay dude went on a joyride and crashed into A POND. Capital Letters Are FUN! It's another week of lowlights and spiralling despair, as we take a wee look at the usual array of crushing disappointments: this time actually weirdly it's not so bad. We've seen the World Cup kick off, which has been surprisingly positive for England. We've seen Andy Burnham (widely seen as a figure from the Labour Left) make a successful return to Parliament. Still not sure what that will actually shake out as for UK politics (for reasons i'll go into on the show). And Farage Fatigue CONTINUES! As Britain's Fash-Ribbeter In Chief suffers his third byelection failure in a row. What might this mean for his leadership and aspirations for No.10?

    #457 // Lighten The Mooooooood

    What a week. Where to even start with this? We've got Donald Trump going back over Groundhog Day once again. Ghana are making illegal to be gay?! Israel are in trouble for building into places that they shouldnt (I KNOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT). And disinformation runs riot with people mocking up deep fakes of Nigel Farage throwing fists at BoE Governor Andrew Bailey. Just another INSANE week on normal island.

    #456 // Tornado Of Tumult

    On tonight's Friday night live show, we're taking a look at Andrew MOUNTY-B's latest nonsense (his daughters are getting a right cushy deal). David Lammy is taking absolutely no action to curb the rise of the Far Right and Disinformation.

    #454 // Heterosexual Cisgender Mountbatten Bus

    PRINCE ANDREW is royally f****d. Labour have done everything the Right-wingers wanted and they're still not happy. TRANS WOMEN are attacked (again). Oh, AND, the Reform party have an absolute SHOCKER of a week.

    #453 // Jupiter Storm

    It's Friday Night which means it's time to once again try to make sense of the Tory, Labour, Reform and Green senselessness with me, as i - against the advice of my friends, family and therapist - delve into more dystopia and despair. Prep yourselve for NEWS, POLITICS, AWFULNESS because it's all here with my usual Tap-Dancing T0sser award ready to go, to punctuate the depression and shtness. Oh, and ALSO: you'll never guess who's going to Make Prnhub Ethical Again!

    The Local Elections have landed with all the expected disaster that basically everyone predicted. Even idiots. Even certifiable MORONS could see this coming from a mile off. And yet? Labour could not. or could but refused to switch-tac. Tonight we talk about the resignation of Labour's first minister, what this means for Democracy - and of course... your dad's balls.
