Aid Thompsin & Other Disappointments

News EN ↓ 456 episodes

My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End. Between parenthood and the pandemic, I'm finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast).Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I'm not even recording them, i'm just incredibly lonely.

Episode 204 is here and covers the weird fact that China appear to have hacked the PM's car AND James Cleverley is powerless to do anything about it.

An American Father buys his 15 year-old child a gun for his birthday. The kid, Ethan Crumbley, is subsequently caught trying to buy rounds for it - and is sent home from school.

#200 // 2-for-1s At Lucifer's Liquor Store 04.08.2023
