Hello and welcome to another episode of page 94.
My name is Andrew Hunter Murray, and I'm here in the private eye offices with Helen Lewis, Adam McQueen, and Ian Hyslop.
We are here to discuss the minor little obscure stories of the week's news.
Just, you know, a few things you might have missed.
So we thought we'd start off with number one, America.
The number of very, very aged men standing for the presidency has halved in the last 24 hours at time of recording.
This is very exciting.
Yes.
When you say America.
Since we were last here, an enormous amount has happened in America.
We are now recording this after the attempted assassination attempt on Donald Trump after the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, in which everybody in the republican party was very, very happy about the fact that they were running against extremely old Joe Biden.
And then the Sunday night pivot into update.
Extremely old Joe Biden has finally conceded he's too old.
And now the Republican Party is sad and say Donald Trump did an amazing, true social post where he said, I should get all my money back that I spent campaigning against Biden because it's not going to be him.
Now, essentially.
She's very hopeful.
Yeah, good luck to him.
I enjoyed the fact that it was the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who's even older than Biden, who apparently eventually told him, you're too old, even by old standards.
Is that fair?
