news where. now it's time for headliners . headliners. i'm simon evans. welcome to headliners. joining me to fight through wednesday's newspapers tonight comedy leo kearse and ben both suffering from ptsd. it says i have no idea why . presumably from idea why. presumably from working on the on the comedy circuit, i'm easy to work for. 20 minutes a night. yeah never had a more relaxing show of my life. now you'll know somebody to psychological damage on you just for a quick buck anyway let's have a quick look at recapping of wednesday's front pages the daily we kick off with 2.5 trillion reasons uk must go for growth and why i've to go on

love island for the middle aged says somebody . the telegraph has says somebody. the telegraph has hammer for putin as gets tanks and a picture of bill nighy there , who is our best hope of there, who is our best hope of oscar this year. the garden in has berlin agrees to send tanks to ukraine in an historic move and another are dominating the front pictorially the next that we have is the times and economy is failing to bounce back fast enough. is failing to bounce back fast enough . there again is bill enough. there again is bill nighy then the daily express being increase our pension at our pension at your peril and the star finally is there a chinese spy in your fridge? those the front pages. we will have a little look at them in some depth. now . so there we're

some depth. now. so there we're going to kick off with the daily with the hammer blow for putin the bill nighy. there's some other stories we're going to cover in germany's fine leigh decided after being bullied all the other countries, it's finally decided to give tanks to ukraine. but the story is we're going to cover that in the guardian in a bit. the stories we're going to cover on are the households paying extr a £821 a households paying extra £821 a year more tax under the current tory government? if you voted conservative to hoping for maybe some fiscal and lower taxes , some fiscal and lower taxes, good luck with that. you're your paying good luck with that. you're your paying more tax than ever. it's going to go up across the board so obviously income tax national insurance that's the surged but also inherited tax so bereaved families have paid out also inherited tax so bereaved families have paid out £5.3 billion so far this this year. i mean, i'm assuming that's the financial year. so maybe the excess is a deliberate policy and maybe the running of running

the nhs , running the nhs into the nhs, running the nhs into the nhs, running the nhs into the ground so they can then reap the ground so they can then reap the rewards . all these houses the rewards. all these houses that have to be sold, it must had some impact during during covid. the amount of deaths, the surge death toll they must surge in death toll they must have lot of inheritance have lost a lot of inheritance tax not putting up in tax by not putting it up in 2020. yeah, they paid for this wrong and also they missed the chance to actually, you know, let covid thing. you say let covid its thing. you say you're more tax under the tories and ironically, tories and yet ironically, some tories are trying to pay no tax. if you're actually in the government. yes, yes you've got millions of pounds then. i mean , the super rich are always going to be okay. they're always going to be okay. they're always going to be okay. they're always going to avoid going to find ways to avoid paying going to find ways to avoid paying but you know, paying tax. but you know, it's the guy right here the little guy like right here who ends up paying. well, probably not the inheritance tax, got to tax, but you know i've got to people would see people who can't accountant can't afford an accountant basically point, basically that's the point, isn't that becomes isn't it, that it all becomes largely academic suppose the largely academic i suppose the other isn't other big thing and this isn't exactly but in a kind exactly tied in, but in a kind of inheritance tax that is effectively that is the social care thing that proceeds inheritance well now. inheritance as well now. yeah, you they're fiddling you know and they're fiddling with well but

with that as well now. but i don't know whether that's that's up air moment the up in the air at moment the amount you'll be expected amount that you'll be expected to towards last years of to pay towards the last years of life. a lot of rumblings life. there's a lot of rumblings about, you know, wealth, tax about, you know, a wealth, tax and this kind of thing. but and all this kind of thing. but my issue a wealth tax, my issue with a wealth tax, where in, so many where you go in, you're so many super they've got, super rich, they've got, you know, of pounds. so you know, billions of pounds. so you see some of that money sounds like those like a good idea, but those billionaires tend to be much better than the better allocate than the caphal better allocate than the capital. that became money capital. so that became money in the goose. the government is essentially just wasted. you might bury a hole in might as well you bury a hole in the ground. i mean, you them the ground. i mean, you see them running the running all the public, the waste on equality diversity and inclusion. there's actually a good example of that. the nhs have bought some robots. yes, the is finally, has finally the nhs is finally, has finally decided try and clear decided to try to try and clear some the backlog . i mean other some the backlog. i mean other other industries have been this for about 200 years. we've you know, since the invention of the spinning journey but you know we're finally to see some automation. i'll tell you what i don't my backlog cleared by road ball yeah oh sharp . yeah well i ball yeah oh sharp. yeah well i mean there's quite sinister isn't it. mean there's quite sinister isntit.the mean there's quite sinister isn't it. the nhs deploying

robots to clear the backlog . i robots to clear the backlog. i mean innuendo aside, there's fairly obvious straightforward way that a robot might decide to clear the backlog with this first automated fire. this one's called the shipman. yeah what about the chimps with a with the inbuilt like humans have an inbuilt like humans have an inbuilt to communicate with chimps apparently . yeah. did you chimps apparently. yeah. did you nofice chimps apparently. yeah. did you notice that one way or vice sprung on me. they do apparently the chimp so got to avoid eye contact them they're like drunk george these you've got to avoid eye contact because they'll see that as aggression and then they're going mandible upper body they will rip body strength and they will rip your off and fingers your buttocks off and fingers off those arms. and how do you communicate anything whilst communicate with anything whilst avoiding eye contact quite avoiding eye contact it's quite easy if you want to look at they actually have to look at chimpanzees gorillas where you know this fix you put on and it looks like you're looking. yeah, right that's sort of what german is doing with these tanks now i suppose to some you might. oh no

. us. well you it's weird to say it isn't it. but it is. isn't it great to see german moving across europe into . and it's across europe into. and it's always been that case so they're the to leopard six battle tank does that mean a great deal to you? yes, apparently this is the tank that never changes its spots. that's it . i don't know spots. that's it. i don't know much about if i'm honest i don't know. but this is, isn't it? i mean, joking aside, some people have said it is obviously going to have emotional for some people , not all the people are people, not all the people are 120 years old. i mean, some of germany's a totally different country than it was 1939. we're doing it from the guardian now and oh, yes, this is this is your your your paper will go. yeah mean it's just well, it's it says it's a historic move and it says it's a historic move and it isn't historic move, isn't it. there has been lot of reluctance for germany to get involved i don't know whether they are more likely to

they are any more likely to actually provoke russian aggression. well, i guess importantly going be importantly aren't going to be germans german tanks. all germans in the german tanks. all they that makes the they know that makes the difference. so big difference . difference. so big difference. but the russians have been claiming this basically claiming that this is basically a operation to weed out a military operation to weed out neo influences in ukraine. so i suppose they will be able to spin way want to. spin that way if they want to. well, there are of in well, i mean, there are of in ukraine. see, you know, ukraine. great to see, you know, left people. and we'll walk left wing people. and we'll walk people really rallying round to support . no. i mean, like, you support. no. i mean, like, you know, i'm appropriately so. what's been happening with the with russia the strategy the strategy towards russia has been pretty disgusting. we've been teasing this war to sort of deplete russia militarily and. i mean while we do we're actually depleting ukraine. obviously russian men don't deserve to die ehhen russian men don't deserve to die either. they're living under a dictatorship so it's disgusting discussion. we haven't we haven't ukraine the haven't just given ukraine the tools it needs to finish the job decisively so it's good the germany's finally given these tanks but it's a real shame that it took so much cajoling to

finally do it and america also needs to give those the long—range. 880 icbms the missiles that can they've got 300 kilometre range and if you say so apparently the head of vladimir zelenskyy's presidential administration in me ever thought that was volodymyr zelenskyy but anyway the head of his administration hailed the german reports he this is what is going to become real punching fist of democracy against the autocracy from the bug. so there's some fairly steady stuff. what else have we got on the front page of the guardian? ben wallace says biden renews for assault weapons ban because they to be . well, it's because they to be. well, it's sort of very regular kind of mass shootings . and apparently mass shootings. and apparently there's been more than one shooting per day. right in the last year. well, the one shooting, mass shooting, i you would think i think sort of mass more than one shooting. they have like but i think, you know,

where a number of people are shot the same time. i think i think that's so common that it doesn't even always get on the news. no, no. that's certainly been the case for. well, what the times and the economy to bounce back fast . that seems bounce back fast. that seems fairly familiar as well. yeah. and also there's the story there, which i think would only get in the times they're worried about a ski lift in france that's really going to hit the ordinary person like when the ski lift starts next if they're trying to go out. graham the factory is going to go on strike. i mean, anyone who's skiing holiday is already been terminated by lack of snow as well. i think it's a fairly it's probably the probably the worst time could pick to go on time they could pick to go on a ski lift strike. well, josh headliners cool present panellists, whatever it panellists, whatever you call it , went skiing . he wasn't , he he went skiing. he wasn't expecting any snow. he he he a hiking holiday. there's loads of snow raking all this stuff . you snow raking all this stuff. you know, there would be no snow is, is overblown unlike the snow which sitting right where it which is sitting right where it should yes. so ski lift

should be. but yes. so ski lift operators are going to go on strike month over, pension strike next month over, pension reforms. you if you reforms. so, you know, if you want to you're going have to want to get you're going have to walk top of the hill walk to the top of the hill about the ferrari, which is going its engine with going to replace its engine with with speakers this so with a set speakers this is so you can it coming right i you can hear it coming right i should this supercar should imagine this is supercar is it. yeah because electric cars make very little noise so you need able to hear you need to be able to hear them. yeah, i'm much like them. yeah, i'm very much like that. you need a speaker. right and finally, we have the daily star band or. yes face off with the sun, the hard here. so says is there a chinese in your fridge. and then it's this sneaky chinese spooks , which in sneaky chinese spooks, which in a sneak chinese spooks is the beginning of a sentence. it doesn't sound it's going to go anywhere. i'm just glad that it's a limerick. and so they say they could be microchips in our fridges . would, you know the fridges. would, you know the chinese keep an eye on what the average brit is in their fridge

don't know why they would want to sow dissent among families amongst archie naing, who's at the last of the cheese by you change it once for all. china has has a love used to love lot of subtle weapons against the west like tick tock for example this you know it's not actually available in china. you can't get tick tock in china. but over we don't ludin is just is tweaked and tuned to just so maxim the generals and keepers in dictator who wouldn't be fair but this is this was a major story in the broadsheets yesterday which has now made it onto the front of the stuff. but we did cover this yesterday that there is a genuine suspicion that there are there is a capacity building into a lot of internet enabled , you know, the internet enabled, you know, the internet of things as , they call internet of things as, they call it where your fridge now can order your milk for you automatically if you if you set it in mine kind of thing like no you're fridge i imagine it's sort of some 1960s pop out sort of farrago is it well it's been selected for it's aesthetic the

effect you're right about the fridge that my wife has but my fridge that my wife has but my fridge and my flat less so . oh fridge and my flat less so. oh okay. we'll talk about that later . okay that's a fridge. later. okay that's a fridge. microwave dog stuff , shoe microwave dog stuff, shoe storage facility. yeah well, if things have to be slightly modernised. okay, we will. come on that in the break. that's the front pages of this record . join front pages of this record. join us in a couple of minutes. we'll discuss why it's better to be a woman in saudi arabia. it is in the uk. it's as regards how tough the menopause is for men see in a .

couple of welcome back to headline is i simon evans in the company of sergeant cass and corporal norris my rank a mystery obviously first up let's go to when dailymail here finally a

story women aren't . yes story women aren't. yes a transgender woman in scotland has been found guilty of two rapes raping women . her penis. rapes raping women. her penis. so women women need to do better . remember when it was men doing this kind thing? but no, no, it's so this this was to be clear. what was she ? well, to be clear. what was she? well, to be careful , you transphobic bigot. careful, you transphobic bigot. was she a woman when she'd done the rapes. no, she was identifying as a man then. but now she identifies as a woman so isla brazen she actually transitioned after she got caught charged. so she transitioned after first court appearance which place? the month after committing the rape. now she has been found guilty they're all be in that now and i just transition well this this is the thing the warnings in scones broke through this gender recognition reform bill whatever it's called and they voted down the snp voted down amendments that would stop people in this meals biological meals that

there's the system transitioning and then getting sent to a women's prison. she's not based on a b just wandering there's obvious. well there's all it. no i mean, wouldn't you think that's going to be you see, there's no issue with being sent to a women's prison. i mean just regardless, what do they have to wear a tag or what is in solitary confinement? i think i say i i share your say i mean, i share your irritation with the whole thing but clear but people but just to be clear but people said who were warned said people who were warned about thing were about this kind of thing were said, you're transphobic said, oh, you're transphobic bigots ridiculous. bigots and it's ridiculous. there's for there's clear incentives for somebody like to somebody like this to transition. so as well as getting a female prison getting sent a female prison where your your you also where you can your your you also get given a new so anybody searching your searching your name on google or wherever your crimes be committed under an old name so there'll be completely expunged from from history . so expunged from from history. so yes, it's ridiculous. what do feel, ben? i suspect you're probably more. well, i'm not as angry about it as you, because i suspect these stories being

deliberately weaponised and shown with these facts and the facts. yes, but deliberately. how many people do you think thatis how many people do you think that is actually referring to? i mean, out of a out of every thousand cases . this how many? thousand cases. this how many? well, there's actually not that many. there's not that many transgender or every thousand transgender or every thousand trans . every every trans rapists. every every thousand rapists. right. yeah. well but how many do you think are going to transgender are just. yes. trans transgendered . just. yes. trans transgendered. yeah. like the women there's going to be quite lot mean. yeah, yeah, yeah so this is the beginning of a sort of tidal wave of we were told, we were told, oh, will never happen told, oh, this will never happen . keeps happening. it . then it keeps happening. it keeps you keeps happening and you know, this happening in the globe, it's a small amount . how it's just a small amount. how many this go to ? how many people has this go to? how many people has this go to? how many got to is it many times it got to be is it going to happen? people are like, wait a minute maybe, this is this, this probably is bad. this this, this probably is bad. this this, this probably is i just probably is bad. but i just probably i suspect that it's being weaponised to say weaponised deliberately to say whatever. i just don't get this thing where, you know, people and hear this a lot, you know,

any right wing point is shouted down. people say, oh, this has been weaponized. it's like, no, we're not trying use as we're not trying to use it as a weapon. we're just pointing out the said happen the thing we said would happen is happening. and that's an actual the grooming actual there's the grooming gangs, . oh, you're gangs, people. oh, you're weaponizing the grooming. no, we we'd didn't happen. we we'd rather it didn't happen. we it with this britney it to stop with this britney want it to stop but nobody power will do anything about it because you know the people this happening what would incredibly vulnerable a voice vulnerable in front of a voice the in cornwall prison the women in cornwall prison don't right all don't have a voice all right all right would what would be right what would what would be your preferred response to this to just say this is nonsense so you can't do it or to have their own facility trans rapists own facility for trans rapists fire them of a cannon towards the isle of wight . the next the isle of wight. the next story ben cardin first the rather delicate matter of in the work he says dawson used so this is about something called protected characteristic legislation so they were going

to the proposal was that it could be made unlawful to discourage unite against women who were going through the change as suppose and it's been decided that that happen because it could it could discriminate discriminate against men. what it is essentially is that it would be too taken potentially to somebody to misuse . is that to somebody to misuse. is that is that the. i think so. i mean, i've read it several times and i still don't really. it's not just me. yeah don't really understand it. i wondered if maybe the legislation that maybe they didn't really understand and they thought that it wouldn't be great to have less hot women in the workplace. i don't know that that's yeah. maybe the raid that tonight. yeah we need more hot women in the workplace . the point is the workplace. the point is i mean, just to try and understand it, the point is that women going through the menopause, which is maybe like five years or something, when experience a

lot of temperature flashes and so on, fluctuations, fluctuations and swings and broken sleep the night before . broken sleep the night before. yes, it can be very disruptive to, your ability to work. yeah. but if they were to say any woman experiencing the menopause can simply time off work can simply take time off work and allowed to prove and you're not allowed to prove it. that's what the protected. that's the protected nature that's what the protected nature of think it's something of this i think it's something where you're not allowed say where you're not allowed to say come, see some evidence. come, let's see some evidence. so , the post menopause. i so yes, the post menopause. i want see i want to see your want to see i want to see your sweaty brow. yeah she says go to re jumpers on and that's the point they're saying that so men are going to be left sitting the workplace without the without the colleagues that they would be expected work is be expected to work with. is thatis be expected to work with. is that is that the point? i that is that the point? well, i think just the creep of think this is just the creep of sort of equality, diversity, inclusion into areas where it's not needed. nobody's not really needed. nobody's nobody's firing women because going menopause, going through the menopause, if anything, they're getting promoted. they're in promoted. you know, they're in pefiod promoted. you know, they're in period of their life when they're probably the most productive think, productive at work. and i think, you knows that, you know, everybody knows that, you know, everybody knows that, you need to take you know, everybody knows that, y(day need to take you know, everybody knows that, y(day off. need to take you know, everybody knows that, y(day off. sometimes need to take you know, everybody knows that, y(day off. sometimes meni to take you know, everybody knows that,

y(day off. sometimes men need|ke you know, everybody knows that, y(day off. sometimes men need to a day off. sometimes men need to take day off. we don't need to make a fuss about or make some, you rule that can you know, weird rule that can then exploited staying with then be exploited staying with women's have women's troubles. we have in wednesdays and wednesdays male we're neck and neck with and kosovo when it comes health care comes to women's health care i suppose not good enough suppose that's not good enough though is it is going to be the cw though is it is going to be the cry is probably not good enough . a poll i don't . so we've done a poll i don't know how poll is actually know how this poll is actually is done, but women's is actually done, but women's health uk is worse health care in the uk is worse than some countries with poor than in some countries with poor records including records on equality, including saudi , kazakhstan. i saudi arabia, kazakhstan. i mean, genuinely than the mean, we're genuinely than the country gave us. borat yeah. so you know, if borat is getting borat, his wife is getting better medical better means she died in a field . so but we died in a field. so but we scored just out of one. but given that this is a poll, i don't know if this is just people's perception levels satisfaction because yeah if you're in kazakhstan might think, oh my god, i've got an eyelash the last of the government. this is amazing. this progress. whereas, this is such progress. whereas, you want you know, over here we want everything the look . yeah everything is the look. yeah women who suffer with pain need to doctor. times to see a doctor. 4.3 times on average before , the course was

average before, the course was diagnosed. it doesn't how many times men had to do. yeah it's kind of hard to see why that's a women's issue . i don't know. women's issue. i don't know. what do you think then? yeah. again, they're having a pop up as men aren't they. well i mean i'm joking. i mean yeah i think this one is quite tricky i don't know. how did they do the survey ? do we know? i have no idea. it's simply asking women what their experience has been. are they happy suppose. i'm they happy? it, i suppose. i'm not sure . it's even necessarily not sure. it's even necessarily paradoxical that saudi arabia might do well because although is patriarchal and misogynist , is patriarchal and misogynist, you know, they might very well look their women in the same way that we look our children. you know, this doesn't necessarily mean you don't mean just because you don't allow to run 3100 allow them to run 3100 companies. they stone them in companies. so they stone them in the face. but then give them some surveillance. added quote, a hospital, they're always wrapped up very well anyway . so wrapped up very well anyway. so not to get sunburned . not going to get sunburned. staying with amal, it sounds like one rather tiresome. swedes are exactly the reaction he was hoping for ben. yes. so so this

is quite weird . just remind us is quite weird. just remind us of what's happened . so this guy of what's happened. so this guy , sweden, actually is quite incredible. he applied for a permit to burn the koran right . permit to burn the koran right. and then went ahead and burned the koran and the pyramids. and then went ahead and burned the koran and the pyramids . so, the koran and the pyramids. so, you know, he's gone. i've got my fishing, i've got my building last but not i've got my koran burning licence. so this is triggered worldwide reprisals as well. it does it i mean, i think i think one of the reasons the main reasons burn korans is to get the people jumping up and down, or at least i hope that's not the koran , that's the not the koran, that's the swedish flag. or isn't that less a type of law pack. they don't burn nearly . well, i did see one burn nearly. well, i did see one thing where he was chucking it around in a car about the koran. it was extraordinarily petulant, but i mean, i don't know. these things just does it matter the

bit turkey is threatening that it won't allow sweden to join nato's will sweden does seem a bit off. sweden and finland have been, you know, basically implicitly okayed to join nato . implicitly okayed to join nato. but turkey's a nato member and can veto it and turkey's no becoming it's becoming more islamic but it's also a dictatorship . erdogan so yeah , dictatorship. erdogan so yeah, he's he's some beef with sweden because they took a kurdish refugees i think and obviously you know he he's been at war with the kurds. yeah. effectively so yeah there's beef between sweden turkey and this hasn't helped at all. now turkey saying going block saying they're going to block sweden's attempt to join nato's to join nato. that just like that's wrong somehow me my gut feeling is that wrong now that turkey can stop sweden joining nato i don't know why i think i think every member nato has to agree. i'm not totally sure, but i think every member has to show he's not what was designed for. was deliberate was this a deliberate oh, i don't think i don't think that the tubby in car was

the tubby lad in the car was attempting to keep sweden at a nato. i think he wants to demonstrate that muslims are hotheads . think wants to he hotheads. i think he wants to he wants sweden completely wants sweden to be completely what think swedish muslims . what i think swedish muslims. they could, you know , they could they could, you know, they could do something about this by printing the koran on non—flammable paper. make him look a fool. church news to finish off this section in the telegraph . the battle of the telegraph. the battle of the justin's gay sex. i do not mean justin's gay sex. i do not mean justin's as in the under in doubt, but know justin is a is a word for somebody under indo it is just another. i've just learned some justin just all of them . oh, wow . take these them. oh, wow. take these lessons. passive means so. yeah. so the archbishop of canterbury is risking break—up of the anglican communion, which is a sort worldwide extension of the church of england over, over gay marriage. there's been the recently held some sort of the synod had some debate and a vote on whether could allow gay marriage and he voted to not it but they can bless once they've

got their civil partnership. i don't know it's dead boring don't know it's all dead boring and know there i'll probably and you know there i'll probably get anywhere but this is get anywhere but yeah this is obviously the wider church and the communion anglican communion includes you know a lot of countries with quite traditional values. you old fashioned approaches to homosexuality and stuff. so a new way and the ones in england are going we have to because we're not even a church anymore we're just a walk organisation. sorry i say it again, but i don't know if people are saying, oh, it's just meaning stupid. nothing is meaning stupid. nothing is meaning stupid. not to allow people to have marriages in churches, religion isn't churches, but religion isn't supposed to be nice or make sense. no you know, it's meant to be absurd . we agree on that. to be absurd. we agree on that. yeah. yeah. the whole point of having a bible is that it stops you doing certain things you want yeah, but hardline want to do. yeah, but hardline christians by they've christians, one by one, they've been rolled yeah hardline been rolled back. yeah hardline christians said , you christians have always said, you know, it's adam and eve, not adam steve. you know , you adam and steve. you know, you kind think about adam and kind of think about adam and steve wouldn't have got steve probably wouldn't have got caught woods because

caught in the woods because they're better at adam and they're much better at adam and steve getting caught. steve and satan, don't you would satan, i don't think you would have called they have have been called they would have been jeremiah, steve. been called jeremiah, not steve. these not a very these two steve. not a very biblical name. no, it's biblical name. yeah, no, it's true . that's it for part two. in true. that's it for part two. in part three, we've got the is the plot from armageddon and found some food that the scots won't eat for money that's in a couple of seconds. find out .

what the headline is. let's get into it now, leo. no surprises here. scots like to see the saltire their food. scots like to see the saltire theirfood. ideally scots like to see the saltire their food. ideally saltire and sauce, i would imagine. yeah as you get your chips and in but yeah but yeah so they've done a poll and scots prefer to see the scottish flag on their scottish food products instead of the

union. jack this survey was was done by the national which is this isn't a reputable newspaper it's not a real newspaper. this is the sort of the snp propaganda . the rogue is propaganda. the rogue is scotland's answer to pravda is completely in the pocket . the completely in the pocket. the issue itself is concerned . is issue itself is concerned. is that really an option? i haven't even do we get food with union on it and it's going to bring pork pies or something. yeah. no you do . if you go and look at you do. if you go and look at your pork and stuff and actually in the uk we've got really high standards food so standards of food welfare so really nicely. animals are marginally before marginally to animals before we slap the with a brick or slap them in the with a brick or whatever. so is actually worth looking for that union jack yeah, absolutely. mean yeah, absolutely. i mean compared mean apparently in compared to i mean apparently in america of beef america have two grades of beef below our agrees that we use for dog food and the you know fighting so this country fighting them so this country you eat dog food and still you can eat dog food and still eat better than an american. i mean i must admit i don't much you bend to look for you know to bend to look for flags you when you buy flags when you when you buy scottish beating scottish no beating your vegetable yeah so that vegetable yeah yeah yeah so that doesn't so you don't

doesn't matter so you don't care however flags on a however you don't get flags on a beetroot. probably beetroot. well probably do. i don't maybe we shouldn't don't know. maybe we shouldn't get country of origin, but have noficed get country of origin, but have noticed of vegetables noticed some of the vegetables come places. i come from strange places. i don't know . well, end up in don't know. well, they end up in strange for true. strange places. for that's true. yeah, cycling through yeah, they're cycling through them anyway, so that's the them. but anyway, so that's the point. so you having to point. is it? so you having to understand animal understand whether the animal welfare is rather the welfare issue is rather the nationalistic determination to keep money within economy? well, this i mean, the national you can guess from the i mean, the scottish nationalists it's and you know for some reason you know the british national party british nationalists are seen as as evil and nationalists. oh, they're so wonderful because they're so wonderful because they're fighting against england. get it england. i just don't get it england. i just don't get it england. let st man of england. let the st white man of countries but the national countries but but the national isn't it's not it's not peop it's not when we invaded little kick off that trivialising dodgy challenge just now we continue a favourite with the papers apparently . all we need to do is apparently. all we need to do is give up three biscuits day to give up three biscuits a day to turn country around. yes, turn this country around. yes, another bit alley . yes, another bit in a tie alley. yes, yes. and not a bit of

breakthrough is discovered. we a bit less will less weight . i bit less will less weight. i don't know why we didn't work out before, but biscuits . what out before, but biscuits. what is the charity ness says it's the snacking that we right and a lot of snacking we do they've worked out roughly adds up to about 216 calories so a couple of biscuits yeah or a glass of wine last two biscuits and a scoop ice cream. yeah. i mean my problem is when i have a glass of wine, i like a snack with it. so it's bit of a double whammy. and once you've had the snack, you need something to wash that down well, exactly. down with. well, exactly. another wine we another glass of wine until we go. yeah, i'm to my mix of go. it's yeah, i'm to my mix of almost the kind of fat at the moment for me but if you work out then you're burning more and also you don't get as hungry and also you don't get as hungry and also some of noughties do as they eat when they're not hungry. if you just until you're hungry. if you just until you're hungry. it seems but so hungry. it seems simple, but so many because they're many people eat because they're bored they want the bored because they want the taste so just wait taste of it. so i just wait until have a theory about until you have a theory about it. there are loads of

it. i mean, there are loads of theories about obesity the most interesting map i've ever seen is the water is the one against the water table america so table in america mapped so closely it's closely to altitude. it's unbelievable . like how low you unbelievable. like how low you live to the more basic write down new where down in new orleans where they're actually below the they're actually like below the below we're behind below sea level, we're behind the the most obese and i'm the is the most obese and i'm bill colorado the least it's so accurate even at county level let states up because let alone states up because you've to walk the way you've got to walk all the way up it might be something up those it might be something to do with actually literally walking it might walking hills but it might equally to do with chemicals equally be to do with chemicals getting water table getting stuck in the water table and so it's up. but anyway and less so it's up. but anyway , things that i think , of all the things that i think it easily i think we it might easily be, i think we are eating when we board, we are as a nation, a civilisation, as a nation, as a civilisation, becoming it becoming totally like is it a pan adhd type behaviour? i'm pan of adhd type behaviour? i'm not minimising actually. it's not minimising actually. it's not like ocd or whatever . but not like ocd or whatever. but you're mean like you're just distracted all the time and you know, with a smartphone this is what what it's just like what it is. what it's just like constantly eating little snack things in same way that you things in the same way that you flick phone and flick through your phone and also in our culture also are media in our culture glorifies know we've got glorifies obesity know we've got all these plus—size models and

all these plus—size models and all can be healthy at any size it's like can't you can only be healthy that fat. healthy if you're not that fat. there's to be some of there's got to be some sort of happy medium between not fat shaming and a happy medium, as i said, a plus size model, said, of a plus size model, having medium, sexy having a happy medium, sexy male. we all remember male. now, we all remember gamergate and now we have a gs apparently old age gamers. so new research is showing that 85% of people over 65 play video games at least once week. one third of all, 36% of them play every day. so apparently this started during the covid 19 lockdowns because computer they're not just there's not just some of the way of boredom. now, it's that social scene. stay in touch with your family. younger members of your family. younger members of your family. you touch your friends. you stay in touch your friends. you stay in touch your friends. you talk over you can talk to them over headset while you're shooting each of cult and each other. the head of cult and call some of have call of duty and some of have got military experiences got actual military experiences . i was in hollywood. . of course, i was in hollywood. iused . of course, i was in hollywood. i used to back ten years ago. i was playing and i got a headset so i could actually speak to people shooting me. people and assume shooting me. so get destroyed so i always get destroyed i assume that, they must just assume that, oh, they must just be from. afghanistan.

be back from. afghanistan. well, no, nine year old no, i was only nine year old girls but these girls and stuff, but yes, these studies have that games studies have shown that games can boost the brain power of the elderly, stave off dementia all yeah elderly, stave off dementia all year. be crushing, year. that can be crushing, really saving, you know, saving you. it you. i think we should treat it as as an you just the as well as an don't you just the idea that you're doing things to stop getting dementia stop myself getting dementia sorry i was sorry already going so i was going say we should going to say i think we should create more video games specifically at specifically aimed at pensioners. know pensioners. yeah so you know exclusively post office exclusively on xbox post office queue was going say mario queue i was going to say mario you mobility scooter grandpa theft auto i think we sports where i was in incontinence. well yeah it's slightly going to say world warcraft there's loads of them every . yeah. and it may of them every. yeah. and it may maybe you could have some virtual grandkids that pop around to see you occasionally as well that would be nice. wouldn't that would nice. but wouldn't that would be nice. but then they do right. they then is what they do right. they don't just team with other pensioners, do meet their pensioners, they do meet their grandchildren that's grandchildren in because that's son lockdown. son did during lockdown. i'm sure them they do go in

sure a lot of them they do go in these they meet their these places and they meet their mates minecraft is not mates yeah minecraft is not necessarily a war zone. some of it is more like a playground where just out and where they just hang out and mean minecraft. yeah. mean created minecraft. yeah. yeah. headset that yeah. get a little headset. that would be children. children would be an children. children just be back there in the just want be back there in the mines the mines those with those all the best apparently best and yeah apparently terrorist we're using terrorist cells we're using world meet and say yeah we world of to meet and say yeah we had that one last night yeah very sinister well i suppose if they start recruiting our apis that will certainly. yeah like boost their , their mental boost their, their mental capacity . yep. on that of their capacity. yep. on that of their toast to have video games this next from the times will not be news to anyone who grew up playing asteroids in the eighties, then. oh, right. yes this is the idea that if the world happen. yeah as it has in many great films , a huge many great films, a huge asteroid is seen to be sort of coming at us. yeah. that we might be to blow up a sort of nuclear bomb near it and sort of pushit nuclear bomb near it and sort of push it away . apparently this is push it away. apparently this is the what looked like asteroids

from a distance or actually just loose sort piles. they're like rubble . they're they're held rubble. they're they're held together by nothing than gravity. well, loose piles can be a really bad problem as we have here. you don't want to go for the nuclear option every time, but when we can. i wouldn't be ironic if a nuclear ended up saving the world. yeah so that what we would expect, that is, could could be that is, could do, could be outcome, would . were aware outcome, would. were you aware of these things are of this that these things are more like clusters. yeah oh, yeah. because mean , you can yeah. because i mean, you can see the trail of comets . i mean, see the trail of comets. i mean, some of them, they can land things on other ones. yeah. they're not solid saturn's rings as well, you know, a cluster of rocks as well. but yeah, i mean, this is this isn't really news. this is what we've been told in every every film about an asteroid heading towards the earth. worried if we do earth. i'm just worried if we do it. what if makes the it. and what if it makes the asteroid angrier? well, that possibly aspect is possibly is the aspect that is news not so that we could news is not so that we could blow up with a i mean, blow it up with with a i mean, yes, bruce willis did that all those years ago. it's that they may be fractures may already be just fractures that have to sort of,

that you just have to sort of, you know, explode near them and they will disperse, right? yeah. you know, explode near them and thethey'relisperse, right? yeah. you know, explode near them and thethey're noterse, right? yeah. you know, explode near them and thethey're not quite ght? yeah. you know, explode near them and thethey're not quite but? yeah. you know, explode near them and thethey're not quite but to aah. you know, explode near them and thethey're not quite but to be. so they're not quite but to be honest, most heavenly bodies are all really, know. all that really, you know. i know the britain, britain, the earth of an earth has got a bit of an i think a little bit of a superiority to the inferiority is that that's well yeah. but you're right. yeah, we're concerned jupiter is massive and they're all just gas right. yeah. these asteroids are flying around. i think we're going to do damage. no, it's just. they're we're definitely they're dust. we're definitely of my absolute. we of the best of my absolute. we want to have the best smear, leo, of life, you know, of the surface . oh, with the times and surface. oh, with the times and one of the many new technologies, i personally feel breathing uncomfortably close over my shoulder this is the. the capacity of technology you to talk and write and stuff. yeah microsoft has invested $10 billion in open air, which is which is behind gpt , which i which is behind gpt, which i don't know if you've used to. i've just used it to basically you take anything in and, you create it as a, as a you can

create it as a, as a you can create an ac, it can give you it can do research, it can write, you know, advertising copy. you can also create daily mail headunes. can also create daily mail headlines . yeah, it can it can headlines. yeah, it can it can wet nice trans wrap solution then. yeah. although microsoft going to integrate the technology into its bing engine so it'll disappear without traffic. still going, it's still going be bing. traffic. still going, it's still going be bing . yeah. have you going be bing. yeah. have you know when i went on the other day and searched for it and it's still there wow yeah. amazing yeah. and of course is that like ask jeeves. yeah, yeah. okay and does that go? which is just what you do if you don't want anyone to know where gone. oh, that's anonymous. but i'm good. i'm good used gpt quite good to see i've used gpt quite a lot and it's, i mean it looks very convincing this stuff it writes very convincing but writes looks very convincing but it's know me turning it's like, you know me turning up interview convincing up to a job interview convincing actually talking nonsense actually just talking nonsense because that why did because i asked that why why did robert support scottish independence? all independence? and it gave me all these reasons. and then it's robert burns. robert burns , the robert burns. robert burns, the poet. poet. yeah. and it poet. the poet. yeah. and it said yes, he supported it. give

me reasons. then i me all these reasons. then i said, know, did robert said, you know, did robert support the union between and scotland? he said, yes, he supported nea . well that's supported the nea. well that's actually is pretty intelligent, isn't that's the kind isn't it? i mean that's the kind of behaviour that actually of behaviour that will actually you you know if you the job. yeah. you know if you the job. yeah. you know if you instil chatbot in your brain and just i mean in a lot of and just get i mean in a lot of ways the worry is that things like students are going to use this to answer they this to do to answer they already but did already are. yeah yeah. but did you there's a for it you think there's a room for it in stand comedy? ben i don't in stand up comedy? ben i don't think so. i mean, i think i saw a story a couple of days ago that they managed to to that they managed to get to write nick cave song. i was in write a nick cave song. i was in the of nick cave and cave the style of nick cave and cave got really upset, because even though to you and i, you read the one by side, the other one, you think i don't know which one is nick cave, but he he knew and he some he's got maybe years ago there was a competition in australia the sydney opera house and the audiences went along and heard three pieces of music, one of which was by a modern composer. one was a lesser known

piece by. j.s. bach, obviously one of the great composers, and one of the great composers, and one had been written by an artificial intelligence program, and were just asked to and then they were just asked to rank them. which was your rank them. which which was your favourite, and the artificial came first, right? and bach came second. and the modern composer was a distant third. right. wow. so you people just didn't get him anyway . let's go to a quick him anyway. let's go to a quick break join us for final break now. join us for the final session in moment with which session in a moment with which whale vending machines and whale meat vending machines and why a nation . sherlock why we're a nation. sherlock holmes at hope. we'll see animals .

and welcome back to the final part of headliners we finally get into some silliness , spend get into some silliness, spend delusion news. now armchair detectives have convinced their experience watching nordic noir and yorkshire go could have real world application yeah this is he says one in three brits think

they could solve real murder thanks to watching crime tv. thatis thanks to watching crime tv. that is the intention of crime tv and it is to flat you absolutely . one of the things absolutely. one of the things that caught my eye, they said when considering how a killer gives themselves away. 25% believe accidental living dna at the scene is most likely to be their undoing and. also being found with a souvenir from a victim's body that's. mr. bell, isn't it ? he always used to come isn't it? he always used to come back with a souvenir with a souvenir. yeah, i suppose the word souvenir is a bit of a throw there it but possibly some sort of some sort of i mean something they may have nicked. yeah you just, just a very yeah you know, just, just a very mr. ban episode started , the end mr. ban episode started, the end of festive road. oh look a knife yeah. with a finger , a ring yeah. with a finger, a ring still on it or something like that. but i don't know i have idea this the thing. we will idea this is the thing. we will talk , these things go well. it's talk, these things go well. it's not realistically. it's realistic. assume who realistic. i assume people who write dramas do actually do write tv dramas do actually do a bit research. maybe these bit of research. maybe these things. former criminal things. but as a former criminal intelligence ahead. intelligence analyst, go ahead. i've if it's the or

i've got no idea if it's the or not either. but i mean, i do know i'm not trading from like professor canter did. the professor david canter did. the dragnet created dragnet software and the mapping the soho neil bomber . okay. so there is and the mapping the soho neil bomber. okay. so there is a and the mapping the soho neil bomber . okay. so there is a lot bomber. okay. so there is a lot more geospatial analysis and you know and also temporal analysis and stuff like that. and when victim profiling, you know, you're the gender, ethnicity , you're the gender, ethnicity, all that kind of stuff, the age you can really, you know, narrow, narrow it down to the subset based on you even very little information . but the little information. but the whole i mean, i'd never did anything around actual sort of you know scene but the question is i suppose how much is used nowadays. remember this nowadays. i remember we put this was called spooks few was the show called spooks few years which was it was kind years ago, which was it was kind of exactly what it was of hard see exactly what it was somewhere between and c.i.d. somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or you always interpol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of you always interpol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of thing.’ou always interpol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of thing. butalways interpol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of thing. but theys interpol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of thing. but they seem'pol somewhere between m15 and c.i.d. or of thing. but they seem tol kind of thing. but they seem to have cameras everywhere. the implication that they could implication was that they could follow not the follow somebody not just up the road, but through buildings, shops. cctv shops. so all the cctv interlocked. i think they can do that. interlocked. i think they can do that . if they do that, that. if they can do that, that's fantastic . but you that's fantastic. but you wouldn't. was sort

wouldn't. that was the sort thing. it almost like it thing. it felt almost like it was bond adjacent, but was james bond adjacent, but actually probably quite actually it was probably quite you know what, you can follow them all the way and then them all the way home and then get chinese involved . hello get the chinese involved. hello i would bram choi in hampshire now our kind of crime. so i'm going to run a dead cat up a flagpole to see if anyone salutes . be safe. this might salutes. be safe. this might just be a mixed metaphor. yes. so a gruesome find , an ancient so a gruesome find, an ancient church fuels which craft fear. so this is this is a headline from the 1700s? yes, it's a myth then it's wheatley. so. yeah, yeah. so a cat was found hanging by members. that's some people it wasn't actually there. not that true. yeah. and also there's a dead fox in the doorstep , the church. i'm doorstep, the church. i'm starting to wonder if this actually just someone's cat is things to tail leaving the doorstep. that's what cats seem to be. people are worried we very clever cat to get it off a flagpole okay so yeah it's an animal if any animal is so sad

about what he had done to fox fox reprisal we're seeing with the void. the christianity and morality left and western culture. we're seeing we're seeing more of this satanism and what it is probably actually i mean, these things very often false flag it might very be somebody who is a cat is a false flag. that's a false flag, isn't it? as go a cat . but it could be it? as go a cat. but it could be from people who are against gay marriage, could be from people who identify stern as christians . yeah. then the christians who are running church generally mean. so they use in these kind of ways to demonstrate that god is them. really. more is angry them. oh really. more likely satanism. i don't likely that satanism. i don't know. what do you could be know. what do you think could be good himself? it could be. good god himself? it could be. good. for one. yes good. except for this one. yes on no , no. you've covered it. on no, no. you've covered it. you've covered it. i do miss the dentist weekly youtube ride out devil rise above that and a nice pentagram and a big gothic house

and a bit of crunch. we used to be great. those kinds of films, didn't we? yeah always. we should get somebody would end up being sacked especially although in time that could in this time i'm sure that could all back. it could start all come back. it could start here. protesters here. the guardian protesters are japan is are angry that japan is celebrating temporarily for its new machines. ban. yes campaigners criticise japan firms whale meat from vending machines nasty it's weird i think what's happened is from what i gather been a massive decline in the consumption of whale meat in japan. it used to be quite a traditional thing . be quite a traditional thing. the younger people are less interested and so the people behind the whole whale meat industry free and some kind of conservative politicians as well are trying to boost interest in whale meat. so they're putting vending machines all over the country and it's not not sure it's been that successful because people aren't expecting to find whale in a vending machine in japan. they're expecting to find used ladies underwear . expecting to find used ladies underwear. they're going to open it's been they've opened a third

store already and they're going to machines operating in 100 locations and whale meat , locations and whale meat, actually, much more ethical is the ethical meat because the most ethical meat because whales so big we need to whales are so big we need to kill one of them. for lloyd's people, if you kill a chicken, you've kill a chicken for you've got to kill a chicken for people are missed by their children in a way that the chickens are you know, they'll know that you can't talk to chicken here. this song all there the mail it . there over to the mail it. sounds they discover one of sounds like they discover one of my marital revenge strategies. leo so dentist , your leo so a dentist, your toothbrush may be covered in poop toothbrush may be covered in poop particles because he came round to your house and put it in his bottom. not the this dentist from florida is on tik tok contributing to the degenerative sea collapse of the west . he says lots of west. he says lots of toothbrushes are covered. tiny bits of faecal apparently. the problem is the aerosol is. so these particles come out of aerosols go and they bounce off the toilet . toothbrush, is this the toilet. toothbrush, is this an enabled toothbrush, this feeding this information back to

has actually happened behind cordyceps fungus at root of tv shows pandemic . this is the idea shows pandemic. this is the idea that maybe one day a parasitic fungus might infect us us over and turn the whole human population into zombies . and population into zombies. and then you think it may have happened? they already the tories it in power since two thousand and seven, but these fungus , they really do exist, fungus, they really do exist, right? they there's a there's ants and so on. yes it impacted by this. all they've done is scale it up these days. there are funguses that into its brains mess with their their self their free will. what extent have free will to begin with and turn the chickens chickens already chickens moment ago you didn't feel any pain . ago you didn't feel any pain. whatever the change in know this year the end said they climb to the top of a tree. the fungus makes climb to the top of the tree and then bite a leaf. and then the fungus so it can spread spores. far as passes as spores. as far as passes as possible. going to take possible. it was going to take it and documentary is it out and more documentary is going on youtube it is going to see on youtube it is absolutely terrifying is just

it's stop frame or it's like the stop frame or whatever call it like sped whatever you call it like a sped up plant , just stop up like just plant, just stop bursting out of its head. i won't eye sockets and stuff. won't go eye sockets and stuff. it's really disturbing. yeah, i don't know. first of all, there's tv show is about, but i think something like as a vegetarian, would be vegetarian, that would be ironic. me, you just ironic. and for me, you just coming out love plants around your fellow . yeah. oh, that is your fellow. yeah. oh, that is all for tonight's show. but quickly, take another look at when front page is the daily kicked off with two and a half trillion reasons. the uk must go for growth. i imagine those reasons are still rolling. the telegraph has hammer for putin as ukraine gets tanks. the guardian same story berlin agrees to send tanks to ukraine in an historic the times economy is failing to bounce back fast enough. urgent measures are required. the daily star is there a chinese spy in your fridge or indeed your internet toothbrush that ? is it for this toothbrush that? is it for this evening? thanks to my brilliant guest leo kearse. and that nofice guest leo kearse. and that notice takes the belgian comment
