  • It is not the one thing…

    I’ve been a fan since sometime last year, as this show is the best source for this Yank to keep up with what’s going on with my English cousins.

    I forgot who dropped the line from No Country for Old Men — it’s the dismal tide — you cemented me as a fan for life.0

  • Best political podcast by far

    Even coming from an American this show is the only right leaning political podcast that’s well considered, funny, sincere, and for a younger audience and not corrupted by ZOG worshipping RINOs (US) or Tories (UK). FYI - the Nigel Farage Cameo segment had me almost peeing my pants. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe while I was driving. BIG CHUNGUS SENDS HIS REGARDS!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breakfast With Beau | Monday 12th October 2026
Q: What would you do if a bird the size of a car crashed through your roof while the podcast was live and grabbed first before flying away?
Benjamin says he would be surprised and stunned, then jokes that he would need to find another Lebanese commentator knowledgeable about geopolitics.
Breakfast With Beau | Monday 12th October 2026
Q: Other than Jesus returning with divine judgment, what do we do? How do we stop the invasion? The rape, the murders, the theft, the assault? How do we stop the tyranny?
Benjamin says people should vote and endorses Restore Britain, which he believes is willing to represent their interests.
PREVIEW: Brokenomics | The Traits of a Female Genius with Ed Dutton
Q: What if the data cuts off at 1950, and many female geniuses had children and never got the opportunity to express their genius?
Dutton agrees that restricted education and social opportunities could mean historical data undercounts women. He says that even after accounting for such changes, he would still expect fewer female geniuses per capita and lower average influence.
PREVIEW: Brokenomics | The Traits of a Female Genius with Ed Dutton
Q: Is there such thing as a female genius?
Dutton says women do appear among recognized geniuses, but he expects fewer than men and a lower average level of influence, citing differences in intelligence distributions and personality traits.
PREVIEW: Book Club #67 | Bothelford's Gone with Edward McLaren
Q: I was surprised that you gave what is really one of the only moments of heroism or relief, a good deed done selflessly, to the character of Fauna.
McLaren says Fauna's action reflects his sympathy for people who transition and later regret it, and describes the character's eventual suicide as connected to hopelessness and a final impulse to do something charitable.
