Ep. 189: Cummings At The Discoteque

In this episode Jazza and Jimmy extensively review the BBC interview with Dom Cummings and inevitably descend into 2016-style Brexit head banging.

Finally, two ageing millennials swap weary notes on the government’s plan to only allow access to clubs with confirmation of vaccination.

Joining us are Jimmy’s memories of the dance floor, sticky and full of shame.

Joining us are the future job applications of GB News employees.

Ep. 186: Football without the Lads
