Speaking as someone who has chosen not to consume alcohol. I do not want to drink fizzy drinks, nor do I want to drink pure fruit juice. Non alcoholic drinks provide an alternative.

I'm glad the podcast has responded to feedback about the lack of politics discussion by talking at length about Ava's friend's pee fetish.

A snake bite is just half cider and half lager. Sometimes to add some punch there might be some vodka in it (unlikely from a bar), and blackcurrant on occasion. But a snakebite is literally just lager and cider. A good snakebite has white lightning (or frosty jacks etc etc) and a mega strong lager. Back in the olden days (before my day) Guinness and cider was considered a ladies drink. Sometimes people believe the hype or urban myths too much on drinks. I mix drinks all the time, zero effects. Drinking too much however, lots of effects.

[@andrewcoley6029]

The horror, the horror

[@fomoran]

Dash of blackcurrant makes it 'diesel' or snakebite and black A pint glass with a 440ml can of dry cider topped up with Ruby port is called a 'cider and blackout' The last one was created because of canned cider deal at Tesco and too much port was opened for a formal meal nobody was in the college bar to help get rid of the open port... A drink was born

[@TSINIproductions]

Also as someone who has tasted a drip tray, (we made a really long straw) they’re usually soapy from the line cleaner, so you’d know if your drink was made from it.

That moment where you realise that a good game of Dungeons & Dragons is just an elaborate solution to the question of whether a hogtied Ed or a full-grown atlantic blue lobster would win in a fight. "Ed, you awake in the merman's lair, hogtied and prone. His menacing pet lobster approaches you, claws clacking...roll initiative."

[@Dnky27]

As an ex McDonalds first assistant I am now having nightmares that I come downstairs at 9 pm to count the walk-in only to find the contents of the freezer lining the walls of the corridor as Ollie conducts sessions of gladiatorial lobster combat in the emptied walk-in. The weird thing is that as other listeners that have worked at Maccies can vouch for such a scenario is not all that far fetched especially on a close!

That snakebite thing is Bollix - you make snakebite in front of people. No one’s pouring trays into a pint glass

[@IanMcMonagle57]

Come on Kids! "Snakebite" is half a pint of bitter mixed with half a pint of cider. Take it from a Scotsman that did Uni 77/80 in Leeds!

[@stevanbankier707]

Lager and cider m8 . Heavy has never been used as a snakebite . I worked in Scottish bars before it was banned

Snakebite is just 1/2 lager 1/2 cider. Also common is snakebite and black which just has blackcurrant too. Also known as Diesel in the North East (and probably other areas!)

As a white, cis, entitled Boomer I can confirm I have no opinion on immigration because I moved to Spain when BREXIT was voted for. Never did I realize that Politics Joe would validate my decision. See you all on Ibiza later this year 👍

[@arkenmint9030]

Re snakebite, def a joke - snakebite is 1/2 larger 1/2 cider, sometimes with blackcurrant (snakebite and black) normally the cheapest possible (I remember fosters and strongbow being the best), but def not dregs - unless the bar person hated you...!

[@misterpwood]

Snakebite and black is always called Diesel round here. But yeah, anyone serving up what's in a driptray needs looked into. Lol

[@fomoran]

​@@misterpwoodfunny that the term diesel seems to run through the rural and those who know jobs in construction Good folk think diesel only comes in 'clear' A fried of a friend offering a few gallons of red syphoned from off a building site or lifted from a farmer...

Happy new year everyone, can't wait to send the next year with you all learning what a dumpster fire we live in lol

The talk about Oli Vs Dog just gave a whole new meaning to the Pavlovian bell

[@mystic_mimi21]

Please do a highlights video on the Tory’s worst moments if one can call them that, over the last 10 years, if not just this gov. There will no doubt be many voters who have forgotten (given there are so many it’s hard to remember them all) but it is important so that we get rid of the awful people in charge. The same can be applied to labour as well but given they haven’t ruin this country in the last 13 years and I think most labour voters/supports are self aware. But Tory voters seem to really forget the awful things or not have an awareness of them.

[@Dnky27]

Totally with Ava on how irritating it is when people think dry January is a reason to deify them.

I had no idea but heard the other day you mentioning it to someone (a not-very-decent person) about this channel and thought, 1) I'm half-asleep and wrong and/or 2) why didn't I know about this YT channel. Brilliant. May I ask, @PoliticsJoe (Oli) - first did you study philosophy as you have sounded so learned on it and secondly please please please are you still going to be with @LBC? - and of course Happy New Year.

What was The Times article you're referring to 32 minutes in, did they slag off Pol Joe?

[@19Allan91]

I think it was the story from Dec 23 about Reform UK. I believe Ava is saying that the Times used information from the video that they had made with Richard Tice and didn't credit or say that they were the source of the information. But I haven't actually read the article so I may have misunderstood.

To much waffling get to the point sooner.

[@DmGray]

"I don't hear these big take downs written about men" Erm... what world does Ava live in? Men literally can't enjoy anything without it being a problem to somebody. Typically about how misogynist it is, or how it excludes marginalised people, or how it's all about preserving the patriarchy. I don't disagree with the underlying point... that women can just enjoy things... but how the hell did that pass muster. It's about as far from a true statement as it is possible to make. Men get "taken down" for different reasons, but we ABSOLUTELY get taken down over everything. ANd I'd say it's actually substantially more common than for women. I don't remember much stir about 50 shades or Twilight, despite how problematic those particular things are if you want to be all absurd with over analysing rather than just letting people enjoy what they want. (which is obviously the best options) The Barbie movie SHOULD have been an expression of feminine joy, for sure. But it absolutely did contain a feminist message (probably the only bad part of the movie?) and I think without that it would have gotten heaps of hate from certain people, rather than the half a dozen conservative talking heads that everyone made fun of for caring so much. Hell, it got plenty of criticism because men enjoyed it too much (particularly because the movie did seem to recognise that men shouldn't just be disposable accessories, as Ken has historically been without complaint :P) I certainly remember "I'm Kenough" being hated by the fun police because "Barbie isn't for men!" ;)

[@alphasword5541]

You have cauliflower for a brain

[@DmGray]

@@alphasword5541 Nope. I apply principles universally. Can you HONESTLY say that things men enjoy are not criticised routinely? Ava did it literally minutes later (demeaning football fans. Same happens with fishing. Two passtimes I personally do not enjoy... but I don't resent others for doing so) Dishonesty to score political points is always wrong. Sometimes it's simply through lack of thinking. I'm sure it simply never occurred to her to compare what is said about "men's media" vs women's media. Note how your only response was insult. That is who you are.
