“The Yes Men"
Anti-corporate activists travel from conference to conference, impersonating members of the World Trade Organisation and are trying to change the world one prank at a time.
This Episode was selected by fan of the show Dale who subscribed to the Patreon and helps to support the Podcast.
He's picked a peach as our hosts disagree once again, could this be the one that breaks them up as a professional couple or can they learn to get along with very opposing views?
We also hear how Mat ruined Christmas and how Ric watches football with his mum which weirds Mat out a bit but not as much as Mat's research leading him to say "Don't Yuk on someone else's Yum".

Tech tycoon John McAfee made millions from his antivirus software. Now, he may be best known his bizarre and scandalous lifestyle.
This episode is worth it for the weirdest reveal Mat's ever heard & did Mat make a Scheisse movie with Eric Cartmans mum?
Our hosts are very easily distracted, and really get into bastard CEO's and all things related and not related to the doc. The generation gap shows here and Rics finger on the pulse of humanity is on fine form here, his jokes are top notch as well!

On this episode Ric & Mat discuss;
“The Dissident"
This chilling documentary directed by the Oscar winning Bryan Fogel covers the Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi who disappeared in Istanbul. His fiancée and dissidents around the world piece together the clues to a murder and expose a global cover up.
