S2E4 - Winter v TVs in Restaurants

from Discussing Nothing · host YouMore

If you were Prime Minister, what would you make illegal? For team YouMore, the topics up for discussion were seasonal weather, and sports-watching pub-goers... Who said we don't talk about the big issues? Yes, that's right. Emma wants to make WINTER illegal. That doesn't mean simply renaming the winter months, or just pretending it isn't cold outside. She means actually making the abstract concept of the season of winter, as well as its physical form that manifests itself as biting winds and perennial darkness, ILLEGAL. Winter is abolished. But has Emma even considered the polar bears? What will they do when what little ice they have left in their Arctic home melts for the final time, just so Emma doesn't have to wear an oodie for a few short months? And then we have Aalyn's proposal. Ban sports from being shown in pubs, and other public institutions. For a large chunk of the populace that calls ole Albion its home, the pub is a sacred place. And, some would say, gathering there to watch "the match" is a significant part of British culture. But can that excuse the rudeness? The sheer insistence of ignoring the conversation at hand, just to watch another 0-0 draw? And have you even thought about the health and safety? Have you? The number of people we see tumbling to their deaths because they got distracted by the TV in a pub is endless. When will we learn? No wonder the NHS is getting overwhelmed... See what Ross, faced with another life-altering decision to make, decides will be illegal. Will Emma turn Scotland into a tropical paradise 365 days of the year, or will Aalyn manage to bring down a British institution as sacred as tea and crumpets? Listen to find out!
