156: I'll cut that out so you don't sound so cloth-eared
Lee and Simon ensure they talk about something and end up deep in the land of world politics.
A list of things they cover: Susan's concern about lack of content, fist bumps, clearing throat sounds in middle-aged men, slowing down, elderly neighbours, still being above ground, far right victory in the Netherlands, Christopher Isherwood's The Berlin Diaries, Lee singing, how and why something is important, requels, Scream 7 (and other horror movies), Melissa Barrera being fired, riots in Dublin, UK's Secretary of State calling a place in the north a shithole, things feeling febbrile, and not-so-long-ago anxiety about WWII.
