This is a Hatchet Podcast. Oh,

0:35

an offlet. Hello

0:39

and welcome to In the News This Week, the podcast from

0:41

some of the team behind Have I Got News For You,

0:43

where we take you through our picks of the news this

0:45

week when the TV show can't. We'll be looking at both

0:47

the serious and not so serious news items and trying to

0:49

convince each other of which story we think would have been

0:52

perfect for the show if it was on air. Which

0:54

it isn't. But let's introduce ourselves anyway. I'm

0:56

Emerald Paston. I write on Have I Got News

0:58

For You. I'm Jack Harris, sometimes producer

1:00

of the show. I'm Mike Raymond, sometimes serious

1:02

producer of the show. And I'm Queenie

1:04

Miller, the picture researcher for the show, which is

1:07

obviously essential for a podcast. Absolutely key. Hello,

1:09

everyone. Hello. Hi.

1:12

Hope you're all doing well this week. Jack,

1:15

how is your first week working on Have I Got

1:17

News For You US going? Yeah,

1:20

good. For any listeners that missed the big announcement, Have

1:22

I Got News For You is being remade in the

1:24

States and I'm over here meeting all the team. Other

1:27

team just like carbon copies of us, but American. That'd

1:29

be awful. No, I'm trying to

1:31

assign people to different roles, Queenie. No

1:33

one's quite as misanthropic yet. It'll

1:36

be very hard to be. That's a

1:38

compliment. And I know you'll take it

1:40

as such, Queenie. I'm taking it as

1:42

a compliment. My one big takeaway, antiperspirant

1:45

is just insanely expensive.

1:47

I've told so many Americans this.

1:50

Guess how much a can of antiperspirant costs? Let's see

1:52

if I can mark it. So this is your opening

1:54

chat when you meet people. Eight dollars. This is what

1:56

I go for. This would engage me, Mike.

1:58

This is a great way to. make friends with me.

2:00

Have you met the weird British guy who talks about the aideron?

2:04

And calls it anti-perspirate. It's honestly, it's ten

2:06

dollars plus. Ten dollars is the cheapest. Like

2:08

I paid eight quid for anti-perspirate. I feel

2:10

that's a very British thing to do to

2:12

come in and go. It's very cool to

2:14

be in New York other than

2:16

the absolutely extortionate prices for anti-perspirate. What an

2:19

incredible takeaway. Yeah, you seem to be learning

2:21

a lot. Yeah. I just quickly say, as

2:23

an aside, Love Island UK has made it

2:25

across to the US. They're obsessed. They keep

2:27

on talking to me about it. They do

2:29

have to have subtitles on, but

2:31

they like the word buzzing and stuff like that. And

2:35

I'm a bit worried that that's our representation of the

2:37

UK in the US, if I'm honest. It's better than

2:39

any of our politicians to be fair. Why

2:41

don't we get started on round one, where we usually

2:44

discuss the big topic of the week, but nothing is

2:46

standing out loads this week, is it? It's a tricky

2:48

one. Between have I got a need for you series,

2:50

you get a lot of people online or emailing in

2:52

saying, when's the series back? Why isn't have I got

2:54

a need for you on air? And

2:57

I think this is probably a good way

2:59

of explaining why isn't on area of the

3:01

summer, because you've got parliaments in recess, so

3:03

everyone gets to go on holiday. Even though

3:05

Keir Starman's actually canceled his holiday. God bless

3:07

him. I think he's stung by those accusations

3:09

from Rishi Sunak when they said half a

3:11

day Keir. But the rest of

3:13

parliaments not around. I think a lot of

3:15

journalists are on holiday. I think historically the

3:17

show was started in the autumn because parliament's

3:19

bedded in and then you come in just

3:21

in time for the political party conferences, which

3:24

we cover anyway, mostly just to show how shit

3:26

they are. And then I think

3:28

the summer series or the spring series was

3:30

always where the election was. I mean, obviously

3:32

you do sometimes miss stuff like unfortunately we

3:34

missed the election this time around. So whilst

3:36

there's not one huge story this week, it

3:38

does feel like the Tory leadership race is

3:41

hotting up a bit. It's tepid. It's luke

3:43

warming up at the moment. Yeah.

3:46

So I wanted to talk a little bit about

3:48

the Tory leadership race. It's sort of happening now.

3:50

They've decided who the six are going to be.

3:53

So it's between Kemi Badenok, James

3:55

Cleverley, Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel, Tom

3:57

Tugendat and Mel Stride. Which, you

3:59

know, what I really enjoyed is

4:02

there was a survey which said

4:04

that three in five Britons don't

4:07

care who becomes the next Tory leader, which

4:09

you think is pretty sad for

4:11

them. I think you could ask that about any

4:14

political party and you'd get similar. Yeah, true. I

4:16

would even say five of five. Five of five.

4:18

Five of five Britons don't care. They also asked

4:20

people who they thought would be a good leader

4:23

and a bad leader. Pretty

4:25

Brittle. I guess you could say it's a

4:27

form of winning. She got a minus 27. She

4:30

got 17 percent thought she would

4:32

be good. Forty four percent said

4:34

she'd be bad. She got the

4:36

worst score, basically. Wow. But then

4:38

Pretty Brittle, Kemi Badenok, James Cleverley,

4:40

Robert Jenrick and Mel Stride were

4:42

all beaten in their net scores

4:44

by Stuart Lewis, who got

4:47

a plus two rating. Who

4:49

is he? He's a made up politician. They

4:51

just put Stuart Lewis in the poll. I

4:53

could say it's like. The placebo got better

4:56

than five out of the six politicians. And

4:58

the only one who actually did anything was

5:00

Tom Tugenda. He was also really showing off

5:02

with a plus one. And

5:04

he put that on his thing. Didn't little

5:07

Tommy Tugenda clap back at Elon

5:09

Musk and Starmer for their response to the

5:11

riots? He was like Elon Musk is delusional.

5:13

That's the first bit of news I've heard

5:16

about him for quite a long time. So

5:18

I was just surprised he's back. I think

5:20

he realised he had to have an original

5:22

thought. So he had to say something different

5:24

from everyone else. And that was his stance.

5:26

The only thing I'd heard about him previously that

5:29

in this leadership race is that he had to

5:31

change his like slogan. Do you see this? No.

5:33

So he had a slogan which was together we

5:35

can unite the party, rebuild

5:38

trust, defeat labor, which he then

5:40

had to change because it's spelled

5:42

out turd as

5:44

the first letters. This is going

5:46

to run and run, isn't it? They're going to

5:48

unveil them at the party conference. Yeah, they'll get

5:50

down to four by the conference and then two

5:53

by mid October. Is it like a fight

5:55

to the death type of situation? Because you

5:57

get down to four and then two. It'll

5:59

be an Olympic. breakdancing situation, right? Oh, God.

6:02

Who would be the best at breakdancing out of those? Well,

6:04

it's quite hard because none of them have a backbone. So

6:08

it's kind of weird because you do all this, you've got

6:10

a shit mouth, all your opponents, and

6:12

then the prize at the end is you

6:14

get unveiled at the Tory Party Conference. It

6:16

has got very big apprentice winners treat energy.

6:18

I say this to somebody who used to

6:20

work on the apprentice. A couple of weeks

6:22

ago, there was the news story about the

6:24

yellow card scheme that they're bringing in for

6:27

this Tory leadership race. So if

6:29

they diss each other too much, then the party chairman

6:31

will show them the yellow card and they'll get rebuked.

6:33

I don't even really know what that means. I think

6:35

it means anything. So you can use a finger or

6:37

something. That feels like something

6:39

fun we'd do on the show. Yeah. You've

6:42

all got yellow and red cards. Do you remember

6:44

Charlie Brooker's blue cards? Yes. What

6:46

were the blue cards? Yeah, explain it.

6:48

But basically, the week before, we had

6:50

been accused of calling Boris Johnson a

6:52

cunt, which wasn't us. We

6:55

put up a quote from a cabinet member who

6:57

called him a cunt. He gives the full quote.

6:59

He called him a cosmic cunt. A cosmic cunt,

7:01

yes. But it was a quote. And that is

7:03

justified under BBC Editor because you are quoting what

7:05

someone else has said. We made the front pages

7:07

of the mail on Sunday, which was quite fun.

7:10

And then Charlie Brooker said, oh, well, in

7:12

the interests of balance, I've also got these

7:14

blue Tory cards, which say

7:17

something bad about the

7:19

other side of the party. So

7:22

they'd say stuff like Ed Miliband

7:24

is a dot-eyed punt. Yeah, Charlie just

7:26

wrote those himself. Elsewhere in Toryland, Queenie,

7:29

you have something on Liz Truss, is

7:31

that right? Oh, boy,

7:33

do I have something on Liz Truss. Yes,

7:35

please. I talked last week a little bit about how

7:37

she came up to Edinburgh and that really like kind

7:39

of did something to my brain. I've just

7:42

checked the chip that I've put in her arm. She

7:47

stormed off stage when

7:49

a banner unfilled behind her that

7:51

said, I crashed the economy with

7:53

a lettuce graphic with googly eyes.

7:56

Oh, wow. She

7:58

kind of turned around and went. That's not funny.

8:01

And then she tweeted that that's not funny, which

8:03

is really funny. I noticed also in the picture

8:05

where the banner has been unveiled, she's also wearing

8:07

like a bright green dress as well. So I

8:09

don't know. It just somehow goes with the very

8:12

letter and also, but

8:14

say, Brat, she is

8:16

having a bright summer

8:18

storming off stage is Brat. There's a

8:21

poll around where people said which politician

8:23

fits the description of Brat. I saw

8:25

this and I wasn't even going to

8:27

mention it. I know you guys are

8:30

going to talk about it.

8:33

The one detail I really, really enjoyed

8:35

is that they said we asked people

8:37

on the internet who said they knew

8:39

what Brat meant aged

8:42

between 18 and 75. And the most amazing thing is,

8:47

is of all the people they polled, they still

8:49

had 4% of people who said, I don't know

8:52

what Brat is. Oh, no. I just love how

8:54

sad Mike is of this. But

8:57

Mike, do you have a story that's been

8:59

suggested to us? Is that right? Yeah. So

9:01

Laura wrote in this week and gave us

9:03

a story, which I always really

9:05

love. We get a lot of emails sent through

9:07

of varying degrees of quality. This is a great

9:10

one, but as Jack will know, we get stories

9:12

sent through to Hatchet Reception. Some of them quite

9:14

unmentionable or just bizarre. Sometimes some really good ones.

9:16

Someone will spot a really funny clip or a

9:18

funny quote and we will actually include it. But

9:21

yeah, Laura got in touch to bring to our

9:23

attention Baroness Jenkin. Now I don't know if you

9:25

guys are familiar with her. She's a conservative party

9:27

pair and she's been, well, there's

9:29

nothing conservative about the question she's been

9:31

asking. She asked the government a few weeks

9:34

ago, what is the policy

9:36

on civil servants wearing fetish clothes

9:38

in the workplace? This

9:40

is Brat. Is she talking about the

9:43

guide dog in its brace or something?

9:45

Is that what she's

9:47

talking about? The guide dog in its brace with its ball gag. No,

9:50

she's talking about fetish clothes in the workplace. And

9:52

she did get a response. The government said the

9:54

civil servants are required to dress appropriately for work

9:56

and this would not include fetish clothes. And then

9:58

as if that were a wasn't enough. A

10:01

week later, Baroness Jenkins was at

10:03

it again and she asked another question, whether

10:06

they considered bondage, domination, sadism and masochism

10:08

to be a protected characteristic within the

10:10

Equality Act. This is incredible. She's sort

10:12

of doing it to poke the bear

10:14

of like the transgender stuff, right? They're

10:16

kind of like culture stuff. I take

10:18

it back, it's not incredible. It just

10:20

sounds like she's asking after herself, like

10:22

me. Yeah. That's where I'm

10:24

taking it. Well that's what's fun about, isn't it? Well we should.

10:28

Yeah. If I

10:30

ask this question, it will open up this question

10:32

about other issues. It's like, nah, people just think

10:34

you're an idiot. And obviously the government have tried to

10:37

restore the whip, but unfortunately they just all like

10:39

that. Very good. Did

10:43

you do that whole thing just for that part? I

10:45

did, thanks Laura. I respect it. Just to say, in

10:47

true, in true, he and the feast are what would

10:49

happen is we bring the star up and I think

10:51

we wouldn't just give her the benefit of some free

10:54

publicity. And I think it's fair to

10:56

say she's had a bit of a past and I'm

10:58

sure Ian would be very quick to bring this up

11:00

with his encyclopedic knowledge of politicians and wrong ends. But

11:02

yeah, in 2014 she was criticised for saying poor people

11:05

had to use food banks because they didn't know how

11:07

to cook. Oh, she's that one. But

11:09

she's also another interesting fact I learnt. I went down

11:11

a bit of a rabbit hole. Her husband is Bernard

11:14

Jenkins and he's a conservative MP. And

11:16

on his Wikipedia page, because I use all the

11:19

best sources, he said

11:21

he's also an occasional naturist.

11:23

Really? Yeah. We had a

11:25

guest pub from the Naturist Association and I learnt a lot. That's

11:28

what that is. Now,

11:57

wherever you get your podcasts. It's

12:04

that time of the year. Your

12:06

vacation is coming up. You

12:08

can already hear the beach waves,

12:10

feel the warm breeze, Lacks.

12:13

Think about work. You really really

12:15

wanted all the work out while

12:17

you're away. monday.com gives you an

12:19

the team that peace of mind

12:21

when all work is on one

12:23

platform and every once. In a think

12:26

things just flow wherever you are. Tapped

12:28

the banner to go to monday.com. My

12:34

dad works in B2B marketing. He came

12:36

by my school for career day and

12:38

said he was a big ROAS man.

12:40

Then he told everyone how much he

12:42

loved calculating his return on ad spend.

12:45

My friend's still laughing me to this day. Not

12:48

LinkedIn, the place to be, to be. Welcome

13:11

back to In the News this week. It's round two,

13:13

where we each bring a new story from the past

13:15

week that we think would be perfect to use for

13:17

round two of the TV show. So

13:19

Queenie, what story have you brought this week?

13:23

Hello? Jack does this

13:25

whenever I enter a room. So

13:28

this came to me.

13:31

Someone sent something in. It's a

13:33

classic Have I Got News For

13:35

You sign tampering situation. There

13:37

are a couple people who have been

13:39

sneakily changing signs around pool to say

13:42

poo instead. I

13:45

wanted to say this without the actual reason

13:47

because the reason makes it politically poignant. But

13:50

it's just to show the effect that sewage

13:52

is having on the tourism industry of beaches

13:54

in the UK. But they sent me like

13:56

a little Google Drive of pictures. It's like

13:58

a sign saying poo. saying, welcome to the

14:01

historic borough of Poo and

14:03

welcome to Poo Harbor. And

14:06

just the train station sign that

14:08

just says poo instead of pool. I'm

14:12

liking all the multimedia protests at the moment.

14:14

Banksy's about- Is that a protest or is

14:16

that a man just making money? I

14:19

think that's a protest. What's he protesting? People

14:21

who don't like pictures of animals. What

14:24

do you mean? What do you mean? Mike's

14:26

absolute cynicism. What? He just answered

14:28

this. Banksy's a political artist. Did

14:30

he say that he's trying to bring fun into

14:32

the world? Oh, okay. Well, I respect that. And obviously

14:34

he enhances bank balance. Also Mike's acting all cynical, but

14:36

Mike, you went and took a picture with one of

14:39

them. Yeah, exactly. You sent us

14:41

a picture with the one- Yeah, my voice pretending it's kind of

14:43

a loop and critical, but actually

14:45

really like- Yeah, Banks is too mainstream for me.

14:48

Well, I'll get a photo of that. I'll get a photo. I'll

14:50

get a quick photo. I'm feeling really attacked right now. Yeah, well,

14:52

you know, that was my local fish bar. Shout

14:54

out Bonner's Chip Shop. The owners were actually gonna go

14:56

on holiday for a month. And then he did that

14:58

and they had to rush back to open up. That's

15:01

bad. Wow. They missed their holiday.

15:03

If he's doing it to put a smile on people's faces,

15:05

I think that's really nice. Cool. That was

15:07

my story. I think fun stories. It's

15:09

actually especially good because I didn't have to do

15:11

any work to find it. So thank you, Gags

15:13

and Joe Creative, who sent it to me. Double

15:16

whammy. Jack, what is your round two story for

15:18

the week? So mine is like still

15:20

a little bit of a wrap up of

15:22

something from the Olympics. And it's

15:25

this Filipino gymnast. His name is

15:27

Carlos Yulo. And he

15:29

won two gold medals, which is

15:31

pretty big for the Philippines

15:33

anyway. But then to win it in the

15:36

same thing, and especially in gymnastics, is huge.

15:38

But the reason he's been getting lots of press is

15:41

because when he won his first

15:43

gold medal, they were so

15:45

happy as a country that he got

15:47

a free house and loads

15:49

of money. And he sort of arrived back

15:51

in the Philippines, you know, big parade and

15:53

stuff and loads of people coming out. And

15:56

he's just like the most relaxed guy. He's like,

15:58

no, I just want to keep quite a quiet

16:00

life. But I will take my lifetime

16:02

supply of colonoscopies, please,

16:05

because that's also something he got for

16:08

winning a gold. Wow. Which I

16:10

think, would I prefer a house

16:13

or a lifetime supply of colonoscopies?

16:15

I think I'd prefer the

16:17

house. I mean, I'd prefer the house. I'd

16:19

obviously prefer the house. How much is a lifetime supply? Are you

16:22

not getting a colonoscopy every week, Mike? I'm long overdue. Related

16:24

to this Olympian story, I saw

16:26

a graphic of which sports

16:29

for the UK are the best value for money

16:31

in the Olympics. A sport like hockey, they had

16:33

£13.7 million

16:35

of funding, but didn't

16:37

get on any podiums. Really? Whereas

16:40

artistic swimming only got £400,000 or so, and they

16:43

won silver. That

16:45

was really sweet. The girl who won the artistic silver, she

16:47

was like, in tears, she could barely speak. And she was

16:49

just saying how hard it had been, because basically they hadn't

16:51

had any support, and they'd had to sort of do it

16:53

themselves, and they'd nearly quit. Yeah. It

16:55

was really nice. Britain's one of only four countries that doesn't

16:58

pay its Olympians bonuses for winning

17:00

medals. Really? Really?

17:03

Yeah. But I think it's Hong Kong

17:05

who pays its athletes a whopping $750,000 per gold medal. Wow.

17:09

And they're the top payers. But how many colonoscopies are

17:11

there? My story's also

17:13

Olympics related. Oh, okay. Go

17:16

for it, Mike. Mine was

17:18

also survey related. So it's a

17:20

YouGov survey. One

17:22

in four Brits thinks they could

17:24

qualify for the 2028 Olympics if

17:26

they started training today. I

17:29

am one of those Brits. Oh, really, Queenie? I love

17:31

this. So good. Do you

17:33

know what? Actually, the data backs up your statement

17:35

because of the age groups who said they could.

17:37

It was 18 to 24 year olds. Yeah.

17:40

With the most confident on 39%. I have unbridled self esteem. That's

17:42

what's happening here. If you

17:44

have to pick an Olympics sport and they're like, you're

17:47

going out there in four years, whether you like it or not. I'm

17:49

just way overconfident in my table tennis skills. I love

17:51

that. I can't even put spin on the ball. But

17:53

I really do think I can do it. I

17:56

really do think I can do it. That's great. Do

17:58

you know what? Yeah, so good. It's in the

18:01

top four. It's nine percent of people Thought

18:03

they could qualify which is ridiculous. Have

18:06

you seen I actually went see Olympic

18:08

table tennis. They're standing so far

18:10

back They're like at the exit and

18:12

you can't even see the ball hammering this ball I

18:14

think I think based on what I've seen I

18:16

think if you gave me four years, I'd give

18:18

breakdance I

18:23

pay your bonus if you got on these limbs Don't

18:26

know if you saw this as well. We definitely talk about this. So

18:29

Rachel Gunn the Australian

18:31

breakdancer, okay ray gun It's

18:33

sort of gone from a joke into

18:35

sort of kicking off slightly because her

18:38

husband Samuel free It is

18:40

emerged is on the committee that decided

18:42

who got to represent Australia at breakdancing

18:44

at the Olympics to her husband Put

18:47

her through and then she did that

18:49

and in quite a lot of people have come out said Actually,

18:52

here's some videos of people who were up

18:54

for it Who could have represented Australia and

18:56

you start where you can see that

18:58

they can actually break dance. That would have been an

19:00

amazing Clip to have at the

19:02

start of the episode I don't know what Joker would

19:04

have written for it But Queenie don't you think that

19:06

would have been a funny in the news this week

19:08

at the start of the episode one of her weird

19:10

Moves like the kangaroo one that she was doing or

19:13

the So

19:16

the sport people most thought they could

19:18

do was air rifle shooting see I

19:20

think that's After they saw that

19:23

guy of the casual guy had no equipment

19:25

Turkish guy and whose pose actually is like

19:27

detrimental to shooting well like hand in

19:29

one pocket What was the list Mike's it shooting

19:31

our troop having some easier sport in the

19:33

world are we kidding? What the thing is

19:36

so like the thing moves so slowly easy

19:38

you have to pick up commentary from the

19:40

other week I Find

19:45

it interesting that just below these on 6% is

19:48

a 100 meter sprint Which

19:51

just has how insane people are I think

19:54

people have missed the trick because I don't you saw but

19:56

there's is actually There's competitive

19:58

walking And I can't

20:00

believe more people haven't picked out. Mate, they

20:03

are so good. Have you seen them? They're

20:05

so fast. They are so insanely fast. I

20:07

thought this as well. I

20:09

once met an Irish... He was in the

20:11

Irish team in the kind

20:13

of development squad for walking. And he

20:15

was so quick. I was

20:18

exactly the same. I thought it was such

20:21

a bullshit sport. But my God, can they

20:23

walk fast? Emerald, what's your story this week?

20:25

My story this week is maybe

20:28

another silly sciencey story. Fun. The

20:30

question is, do you have

20:32

a bumper sticker that is kind of rude? If

20:35

so, you might have psychopathic

20:38

tendencies, according to one

20:40

study. Basically, scientists have found

20:42

that those who like to mock political differences

20:44

in public on their car

20:46

or with their T-shirts... Or on

20:48

a podcast. Or a podcast. They're

20:51

associated with dark personality traits. They

20:54

describe it as ideological poking. So

20:56

it's displaying political symbols designed

20:58

to mock their opponents. And

21:00

they score highly for psychopathic traits. So

21:03

these bumper stickers, who are they made

21:05

by? Is it like people on Etsy? Because I

21:07

think people who Jones Etsy for like a kick are

21:09

probably psychopaths. It's

21:12

people that are trying to deliberately rile

21:15

up someone with something they're wearing or they're

21:17

posting. So they had 500 US

21:20

residents. They all completed a

21:22

questionnaire assessing their tendency towards

21:24

dark personality traits. And

21:26

then he presented them with a range of political

21:28

slogans and bumper stickers tailored

21:30

to whether they were Democratic or Republican.

21:32

And then some of them were just

21:34

supportive, like vote Harris. But

21:37

others were attacks on the other side,

21:39

such as confuse a Republican, use facts

21:41

and logic. That's so Ben Shapiro on

21:44

Twitter. It's amazing. I better

21:46

take off my Davey bumper sticker.

21:49

What would you a Davey bumper sticker say? It

21:51

would be Mr Bump, but it'd be his face. My

21:53

other car's a walkster. Oh, yes, please. You'll

21:55

find me on the teacups. You

21:59

guys are great at this. I actually have a game for

22:01

you, which is, it's an odd

22:03

one out, but basically which one of these

22:05

slogans did I not find on sale on

22:07

a bumper sticker? Okay. So

22:10

number one is a Trump bumper

22:12

sticker that says, finally, someone with

22:15

balls. A Trump sticker. A Trump

22:17

sticker. Very good Queenie. Number

22:19

two is a Brexit bumper

22:21

sticker. Leave means leave. We voted.

22:24

We used our voice to be heard. So listen, Brexit.

22:27

How big is the car? One

22:30

of them is a pro EU sticker

22:33

for balance saying, if this van's a

22:35

rockin, don't bother asking for a derogation.

22:39

And the final one is Biden

22:41

is not a socialist. It'd

22:43

be cool if he was though. So what

22:45

are you guys thinking? Which one

22:47

of those did I not find on sale?

22:49

I want to shout out that the last one is the

22:51

lame is a fake. What was

22:53

the first one again? The first one

22:55

was finally someone with balls on a Trump

22:57

bumper sticker. They've all had balls. They've all

23:00

been men. Right. So one of

23:02

them is fake. One of them is fake. Yeah. Do

23:04

any of them especially appeal to you as well? I like the pro

23:07

EU one. I hope the remain one is fake.

23:09

Yeah. I hope the pro EU one is too

23:11

mental. I actually hope it's real because it doesn't rhyme and it

23:13

doesn't do anything. I think the

23:15

leave one is fake. It's too long.

23:17

Well, you're wrong. That leave one has

23:19

two purchases on Amazon. It's got five

23:22

stars. That's my parents. The fake one

23:24

is if this fans are

23:26

rocking, don't bother asking for a derogation, which

23:28

was I think Politico made it up as

23:31

a slogan. But as far as

23:33

I'm aware, no one has used it on a bumper sticker. It's

23:35

made up. Wow. It was

23:37

so lame. I really believed it. That was good.

23:40

Well, maybe since you guys believed it's real, maybe you guys need to make it

23:42

and start selling it. Pay for

23:44

that Deodran. OK,

23:48

so it's time to vote on which story

23:50

we think would have been the best for

23:52

round two if I got news for you.

23:55

So Mike, what story do you think should win

23:57

this week? I'm definitely going with Queenie Signs.

24:00

I think it's really fun. I love the visual

24:02

reference. It's got everything. It's got a bit of pure onus.

24:04

It's got some nice reveals, some great stills, but

24:07

then you can also get into the actual story

24:09

about the sewage. And I think, you know, fun

24:11

facts about what water company

24:13

CEOs are paying themselves. So yeah,

24:16

Queenie gets my vote. Thanks. Queenie,

24:18

what about you? I also want to vote

24:20

for me cause I think it's perfect, but

24:23

I will actually have to go for Mike because I

24:25

got to into the kind

24:27

of imagining myself as an Olympian,

24:31

the kind of 18 to 24 headstrong. I

24:34

could do that really easily kind of thing when you're

24:36

watching the Olympics. So I think it's a fun discussion.

24:39

What about you, Jack? Yeah, good

24:41

question. I guess I do like

24:43

Mike's story. Olympics wise, it's very

24:45

fun. And it's the sort of thing where we

24:47

would get some good questions out as to what people thought they

24:50

were actually good at and would give us an

24:52

excuse to sort of mop up some of the Olympic

24:54

stuff we've had previously. And Emerald,

24:56

what about you? Who are you going for? So I think

24:58

I am going for yours as well,

25:00

Mike, because I just think it would be so fun

25:02

to see what the panel are saying about which sports

25:04

they would like to do. Yeah. So

25:07

I think it has to be this and it's

25:09

the last of our Olympic stories. So let's enjoy

25:11

it. Farewell the Olympics. So congratulations, Mike,

25:13

26:23

or a piece of writing that was written over 2000

26:26

years ago by the ancient Greeks or

by the Romans and show you just

26:30

how relevant it is in this very

26:32

day. So does Carpe Diem really mean

26:34
