Why is Elon Musk smearing Haitian refugees?

Episode 201: Drug Olympics

This week we imagine what would happen if the idle rich listened to too much FM radio sports bant and decided to finance an Olympics where everyone was juiced to the gills. Wait, we didn't imagine it, it's really happening? Fantastic!

Episode 200: Taylor Swift

Episode 197: Some Humans Just Like You Discuss The Human News

This week we're looking at some news: Alex Jones is back on Twitter and his uncle is a cyborg. A bloke in New Zealand leaked a bunch of confidential health data - and raises some important questions about: a) LinkedIn etiquette, and b) New Zealand taking the piss generally.

Episode 196: Dun Dun

Well folks, if Law & Order is going to pivot into conspiracy theories, we will pivot into Law & Order. And if we have to watch huge amounts of copaganda to do this, so be it.

Episode 195: You Know What They Say About Bigfoot

Folks, it seems decidedly NQR that we did 194 of these things before we got around to the BIGFOOT. In fact it may not even be the case at all. Yet we uncovered new (to us) facts about Bigsfeet that surely we would have known if we'd done this already. To that end, Luke "Robbo" Robertson and Cam "Cammo" Smith are discussing Bigfoots, how to murder them, and which is the worst branch of the US Military.

It goes: Space Force (obvs), Air Force (Top Gun), Army, Marine Corps (too enigmatic, are you of the land or the ocean?), Navy (too many tall tales), Coast Guard (almighty Poseidon's waves crashing down upon essentially billions of tiny boulders? the coast guards itself). This is being uploaded at 1:37am and guess what Cam did at 4pm yesterday. Listen to the episode to find out.

Episode 194: A Peruvian Alien In Mexico

This week we're talking about UAP disclosure and Peruvian aliens. Plus some news (including immediately outdated news about the Sound Of Freedom guy which we will update in the next ep)
