The Truth (In My Opinion)

'I'd vote for anything if I was drunk!' It's a fair statement from Producer Becky but perhaps not one you'd want to be related to the issue of MPs voting on laws that affect real people.

An investigation into the drinking culture of MPs whilst on the job leaves Cody and Becky wondering why the f*** MPs are allowed to drink on the bloody job if literally no one else is! We learn that Charli XCX's new album Music, Fashion, Film could actually hold some secret code for failure fearing millenials. Plus commentmaxxers continue to bring the goods, with an excellent story about Clicky Ponting - a cricket scandal that's rocked the cricketing world.

Here are the headlines discussed in this episode:

Comedian Kemah Bob is our correspondent this week, bringing the story of blatant and targeted racism by a literal neo-nazi in a powerlifting competition. But will there be consequences? She also revisited a headline that whilst not currently in the news cycle, is a difficult one for Kemah to forget now she's been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. Will Nigel Farage's Reform actually strip people of their right to remain if they get into No.10? And can rats really drive and more importantly, do they actually love it?

Plus an especially excellent headline for our Patreon listeners.

Kemah's show Love Child is on at 18:50PM Upstairs at the Pleasance Courtyard at the Edinburgh Fringe, get your tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/kemah-bob-love-child

'If AI is here, at least let it do some nice things!' It's a difficult statement and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.

The number of data centres in the UK is increasing, with the threat of some being built in some beautiful rural areas like Devon. But what would this actually mean for the local environments and how do we make companies responsible for their own sustainability? Plus a story that could shine a positive light on what is predominantly a grey cloud - AI. Did it really manage to reunite a family?

Thank you to our wonderful commentmaxxers for your input every week!

Comedian Chris Cantrill is our correspondent this week, bringing us the story of an Airbnb guest experience that is either the result of next-level hosting or just plain creepy behaviour.

He also brought us news of a brand new monkey with bright orange lips that has been discovered, plus research suggesting that humans prefer walking anticlockwise. But is that only true in the Northern Hemisphere? Plus an especially excellent headline for our Patreon listeners.

Chris's show 'Rewilding' is on at 12.10pm at O'Neills (The Tron) at the Edinburgh Fringe, get your tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/chris-cantrill-rewilding

'Have white supremacists gone woke?' It's a difficult question and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.

The right wing nutters have stepped it up a level and have started letting girls in on their weird shenanigans, but the real question is does this make them woke? We also can't ignore the chasm in salaries at the BBC, spotlighted by new information that before he was sacked Scott Mills had received a £400,000 pay rise. As ex-BBC employees, Cody and Producer Becky dig into what they think this means for the creative giants. Plus someone has made a life size scuplture of Charlie Kirk, and no we don't know why either!

Our wonderful commentmaxxers also sparked conversation around Cody's inability to shut up, the data centres sprining up around the UK (more on that next week) and AI that could actually be taking over the world.
