2025 Ep 315 - Bonjour, You Copied Us!

Segment Sleuth puts a French podcast under the microscope after it went viral internationally for outright copying one of our segments! After being blown away by China’s next-level efficiency on his annual golf trip, Andy grills their fast-and-loose mate Horgs about the dumb stuff he got up to on the trip. Hamish needs you to know that he's STILL playing the parking game, and the boys’ favourite human actor Jeremy Irvine leaves the show a shocking voicemail.
