Did you ever imagine what the last couple of years would be like? Yeah, so did we. Was it what we envisioned? Er, nope. Whether it's Covid-19, war, systemic racism, politics, celebrities or the general public, there's a lot of disappointment in our veins. Come and share in our woe - it'll be therapeutic. But be warned, this is not an objective show. We have views. A LikeMind Media production

We're back after a few weeks hiatus (because, you know, life), which was probably at the wrong time given the amount of election stuff happening.

Paul made Phylecia watch Finland's Eurovision entry before the show. She was not prepared.

UK Labour's victory in the local elections pretty much guarantees there's no general election any time soon.

Because no one is a responsible adult anymore, everyone is blaming others for what's going on. Russia blames a combination of Ukraine, the US and the UK for the Moscow terrorist attack.

Phylecia does not open the news so it's up to Paul to relay what's happening. There's a new virus around, an old one rebranded, just like Gen Z and the nineties.

In our bravest attempt at discussing Israel/Hamas/Gaza yet, we discuss the wider observations of what's happening in the world as a consequence of the war and how it has been used to effectively normalize antisemitism.

Schools are falling down in the UK, but it's not Rishi's fault, he's just the prime minister.
