Humans Exhaust Me

The UK is ending the pandemic in two weeks. It is now the world's experiment, but world-beating on COVID. May the odds be forever in their favo(u)r.

As if the Delta variant wasn't enough, the sea is on fire in the Gulf of Mexico AND the Caspian Sea.

In this episode, we investigate the many signs that we are at the end of days and rate the likelihood of each scenario.

What on Earth is this show about? We're not entirely sure ourselves but, loosely, Humans Exhaust Me is a show about 2020 and the people that inhabit our world.

It's an outlet for frustration and a place to air our views - of which we have a lot. Don't expect us to hold back, but it's a fun place.

Come with us as we laugh TOGETHER with our species.

There are new restrictions in the UK - are you keeping up?

Meanwhile, in the US, we're not entirely sure how many presidents there are right now.

In this episode, Paul is asking questions about Thanksgiving. What is it about? Is it still the same now as it was originally? What about Canada?

Just like Christmas, there are routines at Thanksgiving - mainly centred around food, and lots of it. For days.

Of course, there are alternatives this year, if you're choosing to not get together in person. Not sure how you get all the food via Zoom, though. At least you won't serve a big dose of COVID with your corn dressing.

A political COVID sex scandal in the UK rocks the establishment and forces the Health Secretary - the guy who wrote the social distancing rules - to resign. It's a free for all now in the UK, and the infection stats reflect that.

Who isn't free? Britney Spears.

We discuss Britney's deposition at the court case about her conservatorship. Can it be right to force someone to keep an IUD in place? When do women stop having the right to control their own reproductive health. Is Britney enslaved?

Can you separate the art from the artist? We briefly ask whether it's possible thanks to JK Rowling trending (again). Do we all have wands in the UK? Is Hogwarts basically Scotland?

Why can kids go into a pub in Britain when they can't go to a bar in the US? Paul tries to justify what are clearly insane rules made in the middle ages.

Never mind pubs, what about restaurants? Phylecia recalls her first experience of visiting a restaurant since lockdown. Spoiler: she didn't exactly enjoy it.
