- Oli returns this week to bring the Pubcast crew back to the full compliment. Aside from stag and hen talk, we've a packed episode for you today.
Ed, Ava and Oli try to work out who is better craic on a night out, after polling suggested Brits would prefer Keir Starmer to Rishi Sunak. They then break down the relentless PR machine behind Starmer vying to get the public to believe he's normal because he supports Arsenal.
Then, a brief dip into the world of Cybersmith, the online guy becoming the face of the campaign to normalise keeping human pets.
Finally a look into Kemi Badenoch's war on bathrooms, after she launched a plan to abolish gender neutral toilets over the weekend.

"I'm actually a bit of a sapiosexual, I don't mind when women speak" 😂😂😂😂
I’m not sure a political podcast has ever made me laugh out loud before. This comment broke that seal for me.
Hell yeah I get to speak??? 😅😅😅😅
“Ah sick! I don’t mind women who pee, either.”
Ed was on fire this episode holy shit
I come here for information and leave with a HUGE smile on my face nearly every time! May this podcast go on forever ❤
The pubcast's relationship to rails is that it's best when it's off them 😂
I love the pubcasts. And the thumbnails are always a joy. This was an exceptional one.
As a trans lassie I found it great hearing you all talk about toilets because that's what we've all been fucking saying forever now but nobody listens to us. can I also say its fucked that all of these debates are over trans women specifically, by that I mean we should be talking equally about how to help trans men as much as trans women. loved the podcast as always.
You're wrong Ed, this was top quality three people with microphones content!
It’s great to see Ed become more confident, funny and sexy literally every episode.
Has nobody ever thought to tell Kemi Badenoch that women can use gender neutral toilets as well? It’s not just us non binary people using it, everyone can. Hence gender neutral.
Also thank you for pointing out how dysphoric it can be as a nb, we don’t see enough people in media mention it and it sucks.
Yeah, clearly not - also a study was just released earlier today where it's cis men pushing the anti trans agenda over cis women. cis women are fine with it hence why they typically don't push the anti trans messages, they're more in favour of support for trans siblings - who also realise it goes both ways for women's rights add on the fact of recent transphobic rhetoric is so extreme it's attacking cis people (I know how many people say "stop attaching cis to me I'm not cis I'm just a woman/man" It's there in order to differentiate between the two.
Undo your programming bro, goverment wants you to think you are non binary, they want to destroy the family unit and men to be weak, submissive. You're basically a slave to your lust a this point.
Most women don't want to use gender neutral toilets if there is a women-only toilet, and there is no queue. Women just need more toilets, full stop, it's just biology. Note, trans women biologically are male, so they don't need this. Just another difference with real women
Ed is on fire this week.
Why no discussion about the obvious elephant in the room... has Ed turned to contacts, had laser surgery, or just happy to have blurvision???
Considering Sunak doesnt know how a card reader works, he wont be getting the rounds in. His butler might help you out however.
This descended into madness quite early on and then stayed there - easily my favourite episode. Can you please all he hungover for the next one?
Awesome! I’ve missed Oli. I too enjoy yelling about my hate for nonces and love of politics! 💜
Rishi and his ilk already have human ‘pets’, it’s called the proletariat
Tbf Rishi is the rights human pet
Ed was on fucking form this episode
People need to talk about the safe routes more, as well as the reality of how ineffective and expensive these so-called deterrents are, as well as the giant scandal of why these claims are not being processed in our many, many embassies around the world like you'd imagine they should be. Exposing who's receiving the money for them would also help, because we know full well there are some hoteliers making absolute bank from this, and I imagine this barge has some oligarch or prison corporation collecting giant payments in the background too.
Massively pisses me off that this self-made crisis continues to dominate headlines. Another thing people need to do is stop acting like processing is automatic acceptance. Part of the con in the immigration debate is that these asylum seekers are economic migrants. If that's the case, processing them means you reject them, and at that point they know where they stand and we have the legal right to deport, which is exactly what should happen. This really isn't hard, yet for some reason both sides turn this fiasco into a battle of all or nothing extremes where we either accept all or reject all. Politics seems to have lost all nuance in these times.
"....the angle of her leg didn't improve access". Don't recall Jo ever saying that on Daily Politics. Ava, you have gained an elderly follower....
Thank you Ed for even Acknowledging non-binary folk. X
Ed Campbell doing his best trainspotting impression
Greatest. Opening. EVER.
Such a funny episode! Good job everyone.
Glad to see someone is able to come out as a fan of unfashionable Blues - as a fellow Blue nose I its nice to hear someone talk seriously-ish about what's been going on/has gone on at the club.
I've got a better use for the barge - park it on the Thames and fill it with MPs, all the MPs that have second homes, job jobbed... the conditions and facilities on the barge would improve so fast it'd make your head spin, I guarantee it.
To be fair, Rishi strikes me as a lightweight. Don't think it would take much at all to get him black-out drunk enough to sellotape him naked to a lamp post.
"Not improving access" made me spit my drink out 😂
Brilliant pod as usual. Thanks for acknowledging non-binary people's existence!
Ed!!! Nearly spat out my Yorkie, good job
I loved the conversation on gender neutral toilets. As a trans woman I have got the point of just not using toilet in public in general because my choices are go into the men's (presenting as a woman) which feels very unsafe as I don't "pass" or I can go into the women's and get yelled at and degraded by some Karen who is upset I need to pee. Gender neutral toilets defuse the culture war and that is entirely why the tories don't like them. Everybody pees ffs. A sign on a door is not gonna stop someone from stalking a women OR ME! I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN! Which is not surprising when "ONS figures show 28% of trans people experienced crime compared with 14% of cis people". I'm so done with both our major political parties because neither seem to offer a shred of understanding for what it is like living as a trans person.
Yeah. at this point they aren't hiding that they're rejecting solid evidence shown to them at what needs to happen to make things better. Oh, I forgot. The Tories don't like making things better. Look at the NHS. The failed migrant week last week as examples.
@@alice1374it's a power grab. They've run to the right after they saw shifting right on brexit got them an 80 seat majority. Doubling down on being more right wing isn't the answer. If being hella right wing was popular organizations like the nat con would be very popular no? It's not hard to work out 😅
Edit: I do a dyslexia 😅😅
@@tbrooke3016 The nat con has to of been one of the most laughable organisations to take place this time to be honest. The amount of disruption caused was so fun to see - unfortunately thousands upon thousands vote against their interests even though the right-wing isn't popular.
I couldn't agree more. I feel like you gotta know your a fringe section of the party when even your own fellow mps aren't in support of you (in relation to the mps who turned up at natcon Cruella Braverman ect)
Why not just accept your body the way it is? Being male brings a lot of benefits. Dressing as a tramp brings benefits to men or women only in a very limited number of circumstances. Most women nowadays don't wear makeup, skirt or heels.
I've done the 2 days of drinking ( to my surprise when we went for breakfast on the 2nd morning, everyone had pints. I thought we'd have a symbolic one with breakfast, and then go and do something in the good weather. We stayed the entire day until 5pm drinking. Then quick shower, and out to pub crawl the small town we were in and on to the local nightclub. What a great weekend. Wouldn't manage it now mind you. 3 pints and the hangover is near suicide inducing ha ha
He may have a season ticket but he’s got all these hospitality packages for emirates on the expenses report for him and his missus
Having worked hospitality for 15 odd years I can definitely concur that Hen parties were far more outrageously/obscenely behaved than Stag parties...
I used to run pub crawls in shordeitch. We had a few stag anda few hen dos. Hens were always worse. Getting lost, far too drunk, blaming us for their drunkness, orderign brand new drinks on last orders. Even had one where one of the bars on route already had a hen do in it when we arrived with a hen do. "Our" hen do ended up getting in a fight and throwing a drink over the others. "Ours" were kicked out and then complained to us about it.
Yep, women are definitely different from men. Some news for those PC people!
I think Oli should come to the podcast hungover once every couple of months or so.
Oli: so hungover at work he can barely string a sentence together
Me: finally, a relatable journalist!
Great ep as always!
I love the lack of response to bottle job 🤣
didn't think i'd be hearing about human pet guy in 2023 but time is a flat circle i guess
Chaotic. Love it
best ep ever
S tier thumbnail. Well played.
Sunak is too up himself he wouldn't pay for a round. He would still charge you...there is a reason why the rich are rich and its because they are tight!
really enjoyed this episode. it felt more honest perhaps because ollie was hungover and didn't care or appear to. just felt like everything that needed to be said was said even if it might not what they felt was right
Hope you feel better Oli. On the toilet issue it thought it was interesting to say that it's not worth engaging with sincerely because of the motives behind it. Made me wonder what other things would also fit that response, and when not engaging with something is more effective than sincerely engaging with it.
thanks for the pod
That's actually a very practical question. Practical questions do deserve to be engaged in. It's everyday life. Sports are another practical thing. The definition of "woman" or when a person starts to have a gender are not practical, but completely theoretical. So not worth engaging in
I thought Olli was going to say he was going to say he had watched the Womens Worldcup and was cheering for the three Roses.😅
2:58 WELL AKSHUALLY, it's Frankenstein's monster.. 🤓
Ed looks well different without glasses haha
My god Ava, "it wasn't improving access!" slayed me
Is the human pet guy the one that thinks that trans women should be given free HRT, but that we should also be strapped into milking machines to provide breast milk for those who want it?
lmao that's crazy
While accessible, not disabled, toilets might not be "gendered", they can only be used by one person at a time. Whereas those that are gendered allow more than one person at a time. So the chances of women being confronted by a weirdo with a hard on are greater.
I'd however suggest the chances of being "confronted by a weirdo with a hard on" are far higher in the gender neutral areas outside toilets, ie. the rest of the world.
A guy isn't going to dress as a woman to molest her, he'll just follow her into the toilet and do it anyway.
Opposite of 'disingenuous' is surely 'genuine'??
No one drinking pints… you call this a pub cast.
Love the story about the phone. Top jokes
From Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Thesaurus:
ingenuous
Function: adjective
Synonyms: NATURAL 5, artless, naive, simple, unaffected, unartful, unartificial, unschooled, unsophisticated, unstudied

Antonyms: disingenuous
Ive noticed for ages but definately today, that Oli only ever looks at Ed when he is talking. Even when he is answerin Ava.
He's always appeard noticably dismissive towards her since they started the PubCast. The thing about it is, it dooesnt seem to be deliberate either.
Dont get me wrong, this isnt a dig. I like Oli and share very similarr views, and think he is dynomight on things like Laura Keunberg however its just somethinh ive picked up on over time. It seems very 'Lads Club'. They need another female, or better, campish gay guy to balence out the dinamic. I like Ava a lot but she needs someone to bounce off of too.
The antonym of disingenuous is ingenuous
Best intro ever
I can’t hear what he says
@@mojojojo9128 exactly
Brilliant.
Interestingly the average ratio of prisoners to prison cells is roughly similar to the 200/500 barge ratio
If I was in politics I'd have to be shilling for Coventry united 😅
19:25 I heard "ok sweet" in a patronising 70s office environment style
Adam. His name was Adam.
This lady chose Rishi over Keir? This says a lot about her. Everything one needs to know about her.
A bit of history...Ancient Romans had intersex toilets without the privacy cubes. Whether one peed or defecated, men and women were in it together.
love podcasts hating answers [Laughter]
Cool whip
I miss Ed’s curtains
Arsenal!!!!! Arsenal!!!!
The fact that underneath the table has a grid like a cage isn't helping Oli not look like he has human pets
COYG
Tbf Sunak also doesn’t drink
10:40 definitely not under duress 🤣
The opposite of disingenuous must be genuine 🙃🧐
Ahh the Manchester nativity thumbnail lol
'how do people know these things?!'
You should take turns having a hangover.
Modern stag issues by people with more money than sense. Upper middle class vibes about a week in Prague drinking all day, when there's a cost of living crisis on...
Why would anyone go to a stag do. Why would especially anyone go to Prague and waste their time stag doing... it's like going to a nice restaurant and ordering a piece of toast...
I am not sure everyone should have a podcast.....
Wekll tou cant have legionares with out boilrd water.
I've never heard such a vile, offensive & bigoted podcast... and that was just the on topic stuff about the Tories! 😂
Not everyone should have a podcast.
Ok we get it. You have a hangover. Might have been amusing if it was fresher week
"Sapiosexual" is a sexual attraction to intelligence... not what was described here and implies attraction beyond gender. It's also cringey af, as it reeks of snobbery.
Guy probably thought he was doing his research and then ends up being made to feel a mug on the Internet. Poor lad 😂
Awful
The rise of gender nuetral toilets 😮😮 its Skynet one minute its toilets the next it will be Cyborgs taking over the world.
Are they going to propose male/female toilets in every home.
Get a grip mate.
This podcast just sounds like people who just never left Uni
No beer??!?!
Rename this podcast Caf Cast or lose all credibility.
Too much laughing it’s irritating.
Are you okay?
Thanks for that Ebeneezer....
