In this episode we consider things that society just accepts as real but are possible scams. We're thinking seriously normal things - is it culture that has just accepted things as real or is there a potential ulterior motive behind accepted behaviour?
This is just a bit of fun - we promise you we're not veering into conspiracy theories; there are enough of those already.

We all gotta eat. When the bills have got to be paid and the work's just not coming in, perhaps it's time to consider alternative options.
So, in this episode, we look at different ways to make money, increasing in their extremism.
Which would you consider?

Apparently they are eating the cats, eating the dogs. Which, at first, seems funny, but when you look at where this racist trope comes from, it's a constant theme in the American immigration story. We look into where this comes from and what it says about the US election.
Humans Exhaust Me moments this week feature the grifting from the paranormal. And we talk exploding pagers, after Phylecia explains what a pager is.

Does your refrigerator look like a maximalist menagerie of your life's work? No? Well your fridge is wrong. We discuss a really odd trend that says everything about humans in 2024.
We also discuss yet another school shooting in the US and charges brought against parents and the new health update video from Kensington Palace.

Paul's been on vacation and he's come back full of the bros. Both his and Phylecia's Human's Exhaust Me moment come from bros so we dedicate this episode to them because they are precious.

The UK is on fire with far-right rioting in many towns and cities. All stoked by misinformation relating to the Southport attacks. Fuelled by Elon Musk and social media commentary, there are many with questions to answer. We discuss what's going on.
Plus, there's an Olympics update from Paris.

A bit of a chaotic episode as we discuss the Paris 2024 Olympic Games™ which kind of reflects the start of the games themselves. No, we did not make it to Tahiti.

Well, it happened. Biden decides not to seek reelection and it looks like VP Kamala Harris has the support she needs to be the Democratic candidate against Trump.
Another week full of drama and, this time, genuine excitement. In this episode we discuss the reaction and the bed wetting.

Just when you think the US can't get any weirder, let's throw in an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Paul has entered the TikTok analysis and shares with Phylecia, who has avoided it at all costs. Nonetheless, she has some interesting thoughts.
We also discuss the RNC - a new experience for Paul who tries to work out why each state feels the need to flex as they announce their votes (very Eurovision).

There is a new dawn in the UK as the Labour party win a landslide victory. We discuss how election night panned out, Paul gives his personal highlights and looks at what it means for the UK and beyond.
But, BUT, we found some particularly exhausting humans this week and we start with two key examples of why this podcast is appropriate for this world in which we live.

We're back after a few weeks hiatus (because, you know, life), which was probably at the wrong time given the amount of election stuff happening.
Paul is worried about the increasingly mainstream right-wing populist noise and the potential for it to turn in to votes. As the campaign starts to reach its climax, events are starting to get wild.
Even though Phylecia is playing with wild animals in Canada, she's still got her finger on the pulse of the US political shifting plates, again towards the right, as views and legislation starts to really get heretical.

Rishi Sunak has called a general election for the UK on 4 July 2024.
Join us on this special episode, as we start to cover the first UK general election since this show started.
We look at the optics of the announcement and discuss the process of UK elections. This is just a lay person's interpretation of what's about to happen, but Paul is excited nonetheless.

Paul made Phylecia watch Finland's Eurovision entry before the show. She was not prepared.
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nidDtyS0Wo
The 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest turned out to be a bit of a Euroshambles in the end with boycotts, disqualification, booing and a suggestion of dodgy televoting.
This modern day propaganda technique is having an impact on culture and audiences across the divide. Can we escape it? Probably not. We discuss what's happening in the Republic of Georgia and many examples of governments wanting to prevent 'foreign' involvement of their media. What are they scared of?
In other interesting journalism, a woman received a fecal transfer from her brother to solve her IBS symptoms and how has acne like him. What makes someone do this? How does that conversation go? Why are there so many unanswered questions in the article?
https://www.businessinsider.com/woman-diy-poop-transplants-got-brother-acne-fecal-microbiota-transplant-2024-5
Would Paul be prepared to donate his poop to Phylecia and what would she start to suffer from as a result? These are the important questions.

UK Labour's victory in the local elections pretty much guarantees there's no general election any time soon.
We get a HEM bookclub update from Phylecia on the new cold wars at play and learn more about what's happening that we don't know about. We also worry that Phylecia is being sucked into a deep hole from which she will not emerge.
What's this got to do with rap? Again, it's down to Phylecia to explain.

Phylecia is a bookworm and is scaring herself with knowledge about official secrets and what we're not being told - step away from the conspiracy theories!
What are nefarious state actors doing to sow seeds of discontent? What has this got to do with elections and is the Biden campaign really getting OnlyFans creators to endorse the President?
