Rob's back from his long march across the Devonshire countryside, and as is his wont he has brought terrible gifts. But before we get to that, Alasdair has an update from the international desk. It's all happening in Yemen! Humvees and high tech maritime radar for everyone; a generous present from the Saudis and Yanks as an offering to Ansar Allah asking them to kindly please leave the international shipping lane through the Red Sea open. And that gift from Rob? Well, he checked in with the Blade Runners (the anti-ULEZ ones), and would you believe that your local pedestrian crossing is blasting you with murderous rays? Yeah, us neither.

We're west bound and down for our 450th episode cultural committee extravaganza, as we correct an unfathomable oversight: only one member of the podcast had seen 1977's greatest film, Smokey and the Bandit.

It's time to put one last boot into the fetid corpse of Keir Starmer's political career before he swans off into some freebie goldmine in the mountains of Davos. Once that loser is seen off, we also talked about the London Rental Opportunity of the Week (Richie Rich Edition) as reported in the FT with excellent tips on how to make the most of the local amenities, such as "add your hinge date to your rental agreement". To round off today's episode, Rob inflicts another piece from the Telegraph on us, this time begging for squaddies not to be prosecuted under the Geneva Convention for practising Gunkata.

Join in and nod along sagely as another homebuilding plan that'll definitely happen and make a meaningful difference comes up for the twentieth time in as many prime ministers. Keep nodding as Rob explains the middle of the beginning of the beginning of the end of the dollar because confidence is fake. Stop nodding because the episode is over, you're done now, free at last.

In today's episode we issue a slight corrective on the previous episode; by all accounts Jason Arday was as much of an incredible person as he would have had us believe. In more irritating news, have you ever wondered what it looks like when a pair of far right "journalists" realise that they might have bitten off more than they can chew? Well it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type affair but it's very whiny. We also talk about the woke 1 craze or whatever it's very silly. To wrap up, Rob has gone and found an even whinier bit of text from a hated Yank of an insectoid nature. He's mad that you're still not allowed to say the N-word in TYOOL 2026.

Note: we apologise again for the noise you can hear in the background of Rob's audio - he's taken up playing soothing tinnitus noises to keep him calm during recordings.

This was meant to be a lighter episode. But unfortunately our hand was forced by the behaviour of the British Press once again as we felt compelled to give them a kicking after their disgusting campaign against the late Dr. Jason Arday. The back half of the episode, however, has all of your faves: Failures in logistics by the US DOD, hellspawned robots, a Turkish grifter, and new possibilities for AI in the defence industry (farcical).

Note: we apologise for the noise you can hear in the background of Rob's audio - he is being tormented by some kind of banshee or siren.

We're here to give you an update on how the Americans are destroying the world for their own gain. But first you need to hear about how the rich are destroying the countryside, Harry Potter fans are destroying the concept of dignity, and badgers are destroying the game of golf. So it's not all bad news at least.

Note: we apologise for the Swiss power tools you can hear in the background of Rob's audio - they were building a functioning society or something

After a brief round up of the latest news - car is on fire, no driver behind the wheel, more at 11 - it's time to explore the greatest crisis gripping the Second Worst Nation On Earth this week: neurodivergent people refusing to buck their ideas up and get on with it like the boomers did in 1976. Tune in to find out how bad your chances of getting a diagnosis are, even before the clowns at Channel 4 expose "the great ADHD myth".
