And okay, give me one more comparison point. You touched public transportation.

Give me one more sense of humor maybe or aesthetics because there's always like the two stereotypes, you know, but they're kind of the laziest you know all Americans

the fat all you British have fucked up teeth etc etc but I think you can go deeper

than that I think you can give me something spicier. Come on. Fight for your country,

goddamn it. I got two leftist to be patriots. I love it. How about this? How about this? Our

cultural dominance. I think the United States wins on that one. We got Coca-Cola. We got blue jeans. We've got you

guys I will admit you guys have peaky blinders. That is the closest we've come to being dethroned in terms of media.

But other than that...

Oh God, it's so good.

I feel like I occasionally see stuff from the US where there's sort of fears of kind of declining empire and the sort of cultural stuff being of empire in decline and I feel like we are maybe a hundred years or at least 50 years sort of further down the line to you in that where a lot of our kind of political conversation is clearly comes from a place of feeling like we were once really

quite important and that maybe now no one cares actually and but wanting to

still feel as though we're like this big world power that everyone needs to take seriously

and therefore we need to have nuclear weapons and we need to be going to all the big conferences and in reality I think no one gives a shit.

So you might have you might have that to come.

Maybe you're big enough to still carry some weight even if a more

multi-polar world does emerge.

I can imagine like in Netanyahu like after this ethnic cleansing which is going on in Gaza began

was like sitting sitting in front of the TV waiting to see what, you know, the world leaders are

going to say and all of a sudden Joe Biden stumblingly comes out on stage and he says,

we support Israel etc, and then the the British PM like pops up on screen like three seconds afterwards and he goes out with his accent and he's like and we also and at the yach who just

changes the channel yeah yeah we know bro like we nobody gives the fuck yeah he's

there so Rishi Sunak is is as we're recording has like landed in Israel to sort of I don't know I don't know what
