Guðni Th. Jóhannesson was at a school when he was asked if he liked pineapple on pizza. He jokingly said no and that it should be banned. The local tabloid press made it out that he said he was going to ban it. Afterwards he did say that he could not ban it and that he was glad that he couldn't. A free press is a wonderful thing, sort of.
Please allow me to second that from my little corner of Japan. Over the past couple of years I've discovered these great shows, plus The Big Fat Quiz Of Everything, 8 Out Of Ten Cats, 8 Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Would I Lie To You?, etc...I haven't seen American TV in a long time, but I'm pretty sure the only shows worth watching are some of the late-night shows, with John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah, etc...Thank you ViVaHD and UA-cam!!
That pizza issue is another example of the media taking things way out of proportion. The president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked about his opinion about pineapple as a topping on pizza and he simply claimed he didn't like it and if he could he would ban it. Basically, trying to score a few points with the youngsters because we here in Iceland know the president doesn't have that power - and even if he did, we would ignore it ...and he has also stated that even if he did have such power to ban toppings on pizzas he wouldn't do so. As ludicrous as it sounds, he even apologized in a Canadian radio talk show for his joking comment ...but still, I'm just glad we don't have a moron for President (as the USA has - and we here in Iceland could have, because a self-proclaimed Trump fan ran against our President and only got 8% of the vote).
The sculptures all include ovaries. Someone did mention "ears", and the ovaries did look a bit like the ears on a jug. But you're right, any sensible person would describe these as sculptures of uteruses. Unless it's the ovaries that are objectionable for some cultural reason?
"Men have ruined politics"... As a woman I can tell you we've been quite good at cocking it up too! Edit. P.s. I liked Deborah but I did think some of her comments were OTT.
Interesting she didn't object to the BBC presuming a woman ought not be able to show as much cleavage as they want. Funny how many feminist positions seem to deprive women of any individual agency. She was singularly unfunny for the majority of the show; can't imagine why she's not been on more often, lol.
Same story whenever they have a feminist on any panel show. They constantly try to shoehorn their sophomoric politics into the parlor game their meant to be playing and it's always death.
Had to check what a Mars bar was, just to be sure. Here in the U.S. it is known as the Milky Way bar, I thought I remembered there being a difference. You know, like Boot vs Trunk, Pants (underwear) vs. Pants (called trousers over there), jelly vs Jell-O, aluminium vs aluminum, that kind of thing.
I was imagining an entire museum of past and present world leaders you could kick in the fork. Of course the lower body would have to be made out of something more durable than wax, but you could still maintain the integrity of the trademark with waxwork heads and torsos. You could also rent out steel toed shoes to augment the experience. or even sell them as mementos.
you know what I like best? the slide on the play-bar on the bottom of the screen, you can skip what you don't want to watch and even hit the mute button, too!
I often use the left arrow to skip back 5 or 10 seconds to hear some witticism again or to check I heard right etc. I use the right arrow to skip forward past people I don't want to hear (none in this episode).
To be fair, the president was visiting a high school in February 2017 when he was asked what his opinion was on pineapple as a topping on pizza. He said he was totally against pineapples on pizzas (basically, just stating his personal preference like we all have) and if he could he would ban it (jokingly, because the president of Iceland doesn't have such power). Many tabloids totally took it out of context; so much so the president said even if he would have the power to ban it he would not do so. Sadly, yet another case of the media blowing things way out of proportion.
35:37 Merton applies Mitchell-like analysis to trash a silly story about a gecko. Mitchell's not sure whether to join in or defend the newspaper which printed it.
Deborah Frances-White really blew he chance of being a recurring guest by using her time to show she had an axe to grind against men. It might be her act, but there were so many other ways she could have tackled it; with sharp wit, like Steph McGovern, roll with the punches, like Victoria Coren Mitchell, or be extremely elegant in making the point like Jo Brand. Deborah sadly, just came off as preachy and whiny. She will not be missed.

You obviously fart while throwing the dart. Therefore making your opponent stand still taking their shot within the epicentre of the guff. Also is ham and pineapple not a pizza in the UK?

I kept pressing the right arrow until I could see they were not talking about these matters any more. It took far too many presses to get past it, far too many...
What a SAD woman is that Deborah Frances-White! A jokey question about darts turns into a diatribe against men in politics.That was both weird and unintelligent.Noticed who the PM is yet Ms Deborah? One podcast to be avoided like the plague.
@@Koreviking funny how you keep shoving your lack of comprehension. Funny how you keep asking 'Triggered?', when you are obviously triggered by people writing their opinions. But you are portraying the feminist stance very well.
33:10 how does a feminist not know the difference between an ovary and a uterus? In fact I cannot see any ovaries, I see fallopian tubes but no ovaries. It begs to wonder if the pregnancy was a result of IVF as there's no other way a woman would become pregnant without them.
If you knew anything about anatomy, you would know that those sculptures show the uterus, the fallopian tubes, AND the ovaries. Don't speak on subjects about which you are ignorant.

I love David Mitchell's work, but this and the Now Show both need to gracefully bow out or bring in some truly new perspectives. The hosts are wasted, they're just reading other people's jokes. The "diversity" is just wealthy and connected white women offering second wave feminist commentary straight out of the 70s. It's boring and regressive on multiple levels.
Ken Hymes may I ask why did you watch then? You don't care for this show you say. Or did you randomly come across it and clicked because David Mitchel was on? If so, I agree that he is definitely worth clicking for. I like the show, myself, and hope it keeps on for a long time.

That Sheila was raised in Australia, and when she dropped the facade she sounded like an Australian. So that accent as an English toff is just crap.

Not an ovary, that's a uterus. Most would recognise it when shown the picture even as anyone could forget the particulars of the story
