The Truth (In My Opinion)

'Non-political Ed Sheeran got it wrong with Macklemore'. Cody and Becky are discussing the biggest news of the week which sees an unlikely trifecta of some of our biggest musicians. But how wrong did Ed Sheeran really get it? Answer - very wrong. Plus a story about a library book 116 years overdue and some dodgy Australian farmers freezing dead bodies.

Comedian and satirist Tom Walker is our correspondent this week. He brings, in classic Jonathan Pie style, a righteous fury about Nigel Farage's apparent inability to listen to important conversations about accepting illegal money for his party, Reform. There are pills being popped but not the fun kind, as OAPs are finding their over prescription of over the counter drugs being responsible for sending them to A&E. And Trump is at it again, this time in the form of dodging taxes. And an especially excellent headline for our subscribers, join us on Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

'I do not give a s*** about Elon Musk!' Producer Becky's buttons get pushed this week as Cody wants to talk about how trauma might *possibly* have had something to do with Elon Musk being insane. WE KNOW! A new documentary looking into the life of Elon has been premiered at Venice Film Festival and we apparently learn that he is planning for a Civil War in America. Becky want's to talk again about the public sector being coopted by private interests, with a new focus this week on child care providers. Cody outlines what colonialism for clicks is.

Comedian Gianmarco Soresi is our correspondent this week bringing us some headlines from the USA! The brand new SILENT Fast & Furious ride at Universal Studios has proven to not be so silent, with thrillseekers bringing the noise as they ride and boy is it upsetting some neighbours. Cody and Gianmarco get into the landmark Meta settlement over the mental heath of children, that really won't make even a tiny dent in their profits.

'I do think this is a case of woke gone mad!' A commentmaxxer has struck gold with a headline about a Titanic themed slide being forced to change it's branding after people were furious at the idea of any fun being associated with the disaster. But what happened when they did ultimately change the name of their slide? Shock and horror, AI fraud detection might not always work! And which.co.uk have proved it in a No.10 Downing Street Hotel hoax. Plus more is being done to remember the lives and history of Henry VIII's 6 wives!

Comedian Kiran Saggu is our correspondent this week bringing some incredibly important headlines. In a podcast first, we have a Vogue headline and it's a strong one. Was Love Island star Jasmine Gaziza Müller vilified for being a confident brown girl? We also discuss a rise in domestic violence directly linked to the World Cup in our second headline which might be triggering for some listeners, so do skip that story if so. Finally we try and stuff 250 years of American history into a single story. Plus an especially excellent headline for our Patreon listeners. Kiran is on all socials as @kswaggu, give her a follow!

'Donald Trump is selling Truth Social posts?!' Yup, you read that right! Donald Trump is selling his 'market moving' Truth Social posts to anyone willing to pay the $100,000 price tag. Which as you can imagine has attracted some really ethical customers! Andy Burnham has announced 70,000 new social and affordable houses will be built in the next 10 years. But is this good enough when 1.3 million people are currently on a waiting list for social housing? Plus Whetherspoons are expanding into the European airport market!

'Have the media learnt nothing?.' Last week professor Jason Arday was found dead after resigning from his post at Cambridge University. He'd been at the centre of a plagarism row which built into an unnecessary media pile on. Cody and Becky reflect on the media's role in this and their disbelief that it felt like a homogeneous, unnuanced response. And Darwin is right again, this time about tickling. Plus Mark Zuckerberg had achieved the impossible and become even more unlikeable as sales of his Meta glasses go through the roof.

'Scrapping human rights is Reform UK's flagship policy.' With the imminent incoming result of the Clacton by-election, Cody outlines one of the main right wing hot policies of the moment - scrapping the Human Rights Act. Kissing is back, baby! And you should be doing it in public! According to a new study that suggests couples who kiss outside are more emotionally connected. Plus the protection of Dobby's (fictional) grave causes real potential Bronze Age grave.

Presenter Harriet Rose is our correspondent this week, bringing the horrifying news of an adult doing an poo at a gig in New Zealand.

'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.

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.

'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?

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.

'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.

'Do you know the real reason robots haven't taken over the world?' It's a difficult question and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode. Donald Trump is back to doing what he does best... being Donald Trump. With the war in Iran back on, Greenland back on his agenda and tarrif drama taking over the headlines, it seems Trump 2.0 is here. Also there is one reason why robots haven't taken over the world and Cody is keen to fill us in. Plus RyanAir flights from hell are preoccupying producer Becky's thoughts.
