That Clint Eastwood / Stan Laurel thing must have been doing the rounds years ago. Because I remember hearing that also. Probably as far back as about 1980.
A shame that the hugely gifted and clever JF has to stoop to liberal-left establishment virtue-signalling. The same with his straw-man RNLI sketch. I guess he has to keep in with his BBC audience.

One thing that bugs me about this novel. Is that roald says his grandfather was born in 1820 but peoples family trees say his grandfather was born in 1834. I dont understand why roald would say his grandfather was born in 1820
Compare this brilliantly funny show with what passes as the News Quiz today. The current offering is all about Andy Zaltman who's humour I find very contrived and actually most of the time not at all funny. Bring back Miles Jupp and the news cuttings. The BBC have destroyed a national treasure.
Aw bless the metropolitan champagne socialists, trying to redirect their internal anger onto the the elderly and the working class. Happy memories of voting for Brexit. 😊
We cause ourself so much suffering and heartache by forgetting we’re still animals biological machines that can sometimes go wrong or work in wonky ways. I can’t imagine how scary and traumatizing an experience like that could be.
Tried finding this in my downcast app… couldn’t find it. Thank you very much for the upload. A total classic episode. The glory days of Radiolab if you ask me.
This was a brilliant programme which I didn't appreciate enough at the time - prescient, is how I should describe it now; we could not know, back then, how utterly dreadful Brexit would be. Mind you, we did know, the moment Andy Zaltzman took over as the programme host, that the whole thing would tumble humourlessly downhill. Not his fault. Lovely man. But as funny, in delivery and content, as the Speaking Clock. I wish it were not so, but one has to be honest - or where lies the point in comment? Eh? Answer me that: can't, can you? Sad decline, though ... I try to avoid it now; another avenue of pleasure denied me, to add to all the others.
I am an ICE (Internet Child Exploitation) detective in Edmonton Canada. I listened to this podcast years before becoming a police officer. Your insights and impartial story telling here really helped shape my mind when it comes to criminal intent. Theres always a story behind a bad deed.
I think it's important to remember that accountability is not absolved by a lack of control. We maintain the ability to seek help, inform medical professionals of behavioral changes, and communicate with others. If we fail to do so in times like what was presented, there is an equal accountability to those who commit the crime with a level head.
