We're back with a brand new episode of PODIMISTIC, and this week Ali is scoring offside goals for the working class, questioning why everyone hates their job and tackling one of comedy's biggest talking points: misogyny.

First up, Ali relives his charity football match in support of a wealth tax, where his dodgy knee, questionable footballing ability and a rather unexpected team transfer make for an unlikely sporting triumph! Then it's off to Valencia for an annual lads' trip disguised as a stag do, where Ali catches up with old school friends and discovers that, despite their impressive academic credentials, absolutely everyone seems to hate their job.

There's also a trip to Madrid with his dad, featuring questionable restaurant choices, a 73-year-old's approach to ordering food abroad and the sort of made-up foreign accent that only a British dad could get away with.

Ali then gets into the debate around misogyny in comedy, why comedians need to step outside their own echo chambers, and the dangers of mistaking a carefully constructed online persona for the real person.

Plus, Dad Tony is back with some advice on what to do when someone disagrees with your beliefs.
