Oh there it is, the animalistic scream of the mighty Slug Daddy. We're back baby

Classic intro

Day 12 of asking for a production team microphone. Fucking crying at the intro. Well played

Ollie screaming about a general elction gave more serotonin than ive had in months

Ava looking slightly embarrassed during the intro makes it

GE let’s fucking GOOOOOO

Rishi says in his Drowning St statement this is most difficult time since the Second World War. I was born 1942 and if this time is difficult it is because of this Tory Government kicking off with the insane and disproven austerity that is now recognised as setting our economy backwards. The higher energy prices came from the Tories running down our gas and energy reserves not taxing the obscene profits of the energy companies to offset such prices. Covid was mishandled by the Tories who cancelled the department set up by Blair to handle plagues when we were hit by Ebola. I have Long Covid that cut 80% of my energy and strength after Johnson took down the mild safety measures we had so a young woman came up and breathed into my face in a shopping queue in May 2022 giving me Covid. (See Laurie Garrett's 'The Coming Plague' published 1994.) The Tories destroyed our economy and standing in the world by Brexit that costs us £100billion a year with the destruction of the majority of our small businesses. Then the corruption the incompetence the sadism the lying of our Tory Governments has destroyed the UK in every possible fashion. Vote these lying bastards out of office forever.

RIP to the person that forgets to plug in or connect earbuds in public

The yelling is back, all is right with the world!

The way Ava dropped her phone as he said the intro is sending me 😂

There are screaming gibbons in the jungles of south east asia, that just stopped calling during that intro and thought "what the hell was that awful noise?" only for some Komodo dragon to explain it was just Ollie wetting himself like a nervous puppy.

I'm so glad I had my headphones in before I clicked on the video. The cafe I'm in may have been a bit confused

I think Ollie's coke had some coke in it.

About fucking time we got that Old School Oli Thugmore intro!

Steve Bray: bloody legend.

I'm not a sportsman, but if I were, that intro would absolutely be what I use to find 'the zone'

Ava's much-warranted rant at 25:30 is the only therapy I need. More please!

LOVE PODCASTS HATE NONCES IT'S THE POLITICS JOE PODCAST LADIES AND GENTLEMEN 🎉 I've NEEDED the return of this intro 😂

THATS THE ENERGY WE NEED! Nice little shock to the system.

10 mins into the election special and discussing kisstory. Please never change

Ava’s Freudian slip referring to the country as a company 😭 Ticey would be proud!

They thought it would be him being tough versus the climate and rain...why they couldn't use the inside? He seemed like a sad man at the end of a sad romance film pleading to be loved!

When I saw the thumb nail, I knew Ollie was going balls to the walls.

I cannot tell you how hyped that intro got me. Incredible work!

My favourite part of this (as a geriatric millennial) is absolutely Oli trying to explain Kisstory and 90s hiphop to these two whippersnappers! 😆

Oli auditioning for a part in deadpool & wolverine LFG

Microphones notoriously harbour bacteria. Interestingly....it tends to be the bacteria from the mouth of the user. 🤷

I lowkey suspect the 4th of July is a nod to the US being that american financial and corporate interests and getting their hooks in the UK more and more by the day.

How I've missed that intro

Prediction: Everyone in Downing St. refused to give Sunak an umbrella because they thought he'd never be dumb enough to do it in a torrential downpour. Then they could put it off to the next day and spend the next 24 hours talking him out of it.

that was an entertaining way to discover my laptop was on FULL volume.

THE SHOUTY INTRO IS BACK AND I LOVE IT ❤❤❤ ZERO SEATS MOTHAFUCKERS!!! Also, met George Sampson once at Manchester Airport in 2009 after his BGT win. He was very nice.

...morning. [After excitedly screaming his lungs out]. I love it!

Politics Joe, sponsored by Pret

The best opening 90 seconds of this to date

This intro is the sonic equivalent of a near death experience in a highland waterfall. Marvellous.

I love how three letters describe the vibe for both the general election and the deadpool wolverine movie... LFG.

I'm beginning to think this should be called the "Good chap theory podcast"! 😂

Need to ensure everyone can vote. Be very poor in deed if people are blocked and a government is elected on a low turnout.

CLASSIC ! I hope we get that intro until at least 5th July !

now add the drink. maybe some smoke.

I told you all one day he's gonna bring back the scream 😂

the screaming single handedly cured my hangover legendary

Now if only we had a leftwing alternative to vote for...

Side note. What’s up with that green light? I’ve seen it in so many podcast studios. Is it an Irish nod or is it trending because so many podcasters started out in front of a green screen which cast a sheen around people’s edges that it became “the look”?

Such a good intro 😂 had to rewatch a couple of times

Absolutely bring back the wild intros 😂

I literally laughed out loud at the start!

That intensity was exactly what i needed after the announcement of the election lmfao

Daily Podcasts? Well, I guess I have to Subscribe now. Also, how many shots of coffee were in those Pret cups? Or was it something stronger like vodka or Tiger Blood?

The minute I saw the moustache I went "that wouldn't fly in Glasgow, you're getting called a nonce" then Ava piped up. Good stuff.

I would have thought there would be beers for this monumental occasion given the OG intro

That intro was the calmest I’ve ever seen Oli.

Bring it on and well done to Steve Bray.

“Wasn’t ready” - 😂😂😂

Finally!!! Old is gold people

When youtube auto plays and your not ready for that epic intro! ... Let's GOOOOOO

Thanks Ollie. - Pret à Manger.

That intro might be my new alarm clock

oli screeching at the start makes me feel seen

YAS! The intro we all need in our day 😂😂

I actually sh@t it when he started screaming.

The intro we deserve

Rewatching that intro over n over 😂😂 brilliant 👏

I could imagine Rishi having the same intro with his party

Giggling at everyone sniffing Ava's microphone

Thats how it's done! Bring back the intro. It's on like Donkey Kong!

Steve's posse is called the Bray Bunch

I didn't realise how much I needed that opening until I heard it. Let's fucking go

I had to come back and watch the intro again. If this isn't meme worthy and entered into the annals of momentous podcast/internet events, justice will not have been done.

The energy we all needed

Oli with the return to form into LETSGO

Oh lord, there were some dark days, but the light has finally cometh. My prayers have been answered, my unwavering faith has been rewarded. I knew that only the calling of an election would restore the PolJoe podcast to it's former glory. Scream on, comrades

Steve Bray’s finest hour so far! Might still need him if Kid Starver and Co prove to be another bag of 💩

Best intro to a podcast ever, also that is how I fee now. So great

I'm so glad Oli is as stoked as I am about this!!

Finally a proper intro

FUCK YES THAT INTRO! Let that man do a coked up intro every week.

intro gave me goosebumps. The beacons are lit.

I'm so ready for daily pods. 6 seasons and a movie!!

Mason not getting onto Islington north made me laugh our loud....

I got used to the golf clap intro. This one hit like a sack of bricks...

I've never been so glad to have turned my volume down 😂

We are back on form!!!

Think ava shat herself when oli started that amazing intro 🤣

😂😂😂😂😂best intro ever!!!!

Fucking love this, best intro ever. Let's fucking GOOOO!!

It's Ollie's enthusiasm which will carry me through the GE.

BIG INTRO LET'S GOOOO

Astute political commentary and has me in f*****g stitches every time without fail. Another fantastic show!

I just want to let you guys know as a politics grad, this is the only channel that has been able to get my partner to be engaged in politics. I wish you all the success in the world, keep the 6th form vibes rolling, we love it ❤

its happening

Very demure. The intro we've been waiting for.

That was the welcome I wanted… no, what I needed.

FUCK YES THAT INTRO IS THE ENERGY WE LIKE TO SEE

I hope the greens do jolly well.

Always been a listener but my mate roped me in for the intro. Strong. No going back.

19:42 Worst-case scenario. Keir Starmer's leadership crumbles in the scrutiny of the election campaign. The voters remember about those 10 pledges and 5 missions and all that. Hung parliament, Labour is the largest party but short of a majority. LibDem progress but still less than what they had in 2010. Labour gain a handful of seats in Scotland, but on the whole SNP is more resilient than many pundits predicted or Labour hoped. It turned out that wrapping yourself in the Union Jack didn't really help with getting SNP voters to switch to you. Negotiations break down with the SNP because they won't budge on #indyref2, and also with the LibDems over PR or they just don't have the numbers. In a shock move, Keir Starmer announces a coalition with the Tories.

Take the fluffy bit off, you're indoors

Oh please, hold nothing back… 😜
