Rishi Sunak has called a general election for the UK on 4 July 2024.
Join us on this special episode, as we start to cover the first UK general election since this show started.
We look at the optics of the announcement and discuss the process of UK elections. This is just a lay person's interpretation of what's about to happen, but Paul is excited nonetheless.

Paul made Phylecia watch Finland's Eurovision entry before the show. She was not prepared.
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nidDtyS0Wo
The 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest turned out to be a bit of a Euroshambles in the end with boycotts, disqualification, booing and a suggestion of dodgy televoting.
This modern day propaganda technique is having an impact on culture and audiences across the divide. Can we escape it? Probably not. We discuss what's happening in the Republic of Georgia and many examples of governments wanting to prevent 'foreign' involvement of their media. What are they scared of?
In other interesting journalism, a woman received a fecal transfer from her brother to solve her IBS symptoms and how has acne like him. What makes someone do this? How does that conversation go? Why are there so many unanswered questions in the article?

Would Paul be prepared to donate his poop to Phylecia and what would she start to suffer from as a result? These are the important questions.

UK Labour's victory in the local elections pretty much guarantees there's no general election any time soon.
We get a HEM bookclub update from Phylecia on the new cold wars at play and learn more about what's happening that we don't know about. We also worry that Phylecia is being sucked into a deep hole from which she will not emerge.
What's this got to do with rap? Again, it's down to Phylecia to explain.

The Irish are trying to send migrants back to the UK. Rishi is playing games with the electorate: will he or won't he call an election for July? Hurry up, Rishi, Paul is waiting!
Phylecia is a bookworm and is scaring herself with knowledge about official secrets and what we're not being told - step away from the conspiracy theories!
What are nefarious state actors doing to sow seeds of discontent? What has this got to do with elections and is the Biden campaign really getting OnlyFans creators to endorse the President?

Hair update: Paul is definitely going to buy a silk bonnet, but shock news from Phylecia.
And, with an impending ban on TikTok in the US, we discuss the impact on people's lives and livelihoods.

This may be Paul's last episode as his health app suggests he may die soon.
Iran fires drones and missiles at Israel and the world watches live as it unfolds. Except Phylecia who was unaware. We comments on Iran's strategy.
Phylecia was at a travel conference and learned much about travel influencers and whether they are able to generate the income they need for their lifestyle. We ask: what is enough?

North America experiences a total solar eclipse. What was your experience and why was it underwhelming. Does this mean the new world order is now commencing and why did it not commence at the last solar eclipse.
Paul travels by bus and experiences feral kids.
Plus, we discuss whether AI is living up to the claim that it will make us all more productive.

We discuss Die With Zero by Bill Perkins, a book about spending your wealth while you're alive.
Our main topic of this episode is family IT support. Are you the member of the family (or friendship group) that is always called upon to provide IT support no matter what you do for a living. Are you relatives confused by what your profession is, but because you use email, you're the go to person?
Why is that? How do you deal with it? We'd love to know your stories. Send us a DM on Instagram.

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. The UK blames China for cyber-everything and, of course, DEI is the cause of everything (side-eye).

The Kate conundrum is over with a 'video' purporting to be from the farm shop Will and Kate frequent when they want a tiger loaf. Like it will stop the speculation. Paul is annoyed that it's killed the vibe.
In an exemplary demonstration of how democracy could work, Putin has been re-elected for another six-year term. The IOC are not happy that he's relaunching the Friendly Games. Don't know what that is? We discuss.
There's a bit at the end of this episode about cyber-flashing. Join in the conversation.

Sorry, y'all, Paul went to see Phylecia in Arizona and we didn't record a show - we were having too much fun! We hadn't seen each other in four years.
While over in the US, Paul forced Phylecia and her husband to watch the State of the Union address and the Republican rebuttal - quite the experience for all concerned.
Katie Britt, the chosen rebutter, used all her acting skills from her kitchen table - it's not gone down well. She's possibly going to disappear.
Talking of disappearing Kates, the Princess of Wales conspiracy stories just will not die. The UK needs an intervention.

Content Warning: we briefly discuss Aaron Bushnell's self immolation and reaction to it.
Do you need to know what racism is? You're in luck, '30p Lee' Anderson has helped us define it. Trump is doing the same.
Trad wives are getting divorced and they don't know what to do, except post about it on TikTok.
We also discuss the phenomenon that is Reesa Teesa.

King Charles has cancer. We wish him well, but the media coverage is insane. Was it Meghan? Did Baba Vanga predict this? Hmm.
In this episode, we talk tattoos. Do you have one? Would you get one? Where? Let's discuss.

By the time you see this, retaliation for the attack on a US military base may have happened. We don't know what's going on either, so we're waiting to see what happens next.
Meanwhile, we talk through Northern Ireland's government, and the prospect of a republican First Minister. It seems crazy to think that a few decades earlier the UK population wasn't allowed to hear the voices of Sinn Fein - that's how much the government at the time thought they posed a risk.
Taylor Swift is the subject of a conspiracy about socialism. And there's wild speculation about the Princess of Wales' "abdominal surgery", proving just how exhausting humans really are when they can't stay out of people's medical business.
This leads to a discussion about medical privacy and maternity leave the the UK versus the US.
A punchy episode.

Trump is a dead cert for the GOP nomination - but what happens if the other candidates drop out and he then goes to jail?
The British are being told to get ready for war, and they need to find 45,000 people to sign up to fight.
The British are timing their fights with the Houthis to coincide with bad news from the UK Government.

Well that escalated quickly.
Following last episode's predictions, we already have one checked off. With the US and UK missile strikes against the Houthi (who are hard AF), the region for conflict has definitely grown.
The UK Ministry of Defence is telling its citizens to prepare for war within the next five years. Get ready, folks.
With Trump's economic policy of child labour, de-unionising and mining, it's the 1930s.

Happy New Year dear listener/viewer!
In the last episode, we reviewed our 2023 bingo card. Now we're looking ahead to 2024 (with trepidation) and give our predictions on what this year will bring.
It's not all doom and gloom - a bit of fun! Tell us your predictions!
