  • Summary

  • Al and John grew up together in the 1990s but now live on opposite sides of the world. Each week, they get together through the magic of the Internet to catch up, make each other laugh and try to make sense of it all.


    The result is a funny, surreal and thought-provoking excursion through the arcane recesses of pop culture and technology, and the mysteries of everyday life. What’s it like to have a virtual companion? Did Hilaria Baldwin really pretend to be Spanish? Why did movies used to have a rap in the credits to explain their own plot?

    Our Aussie breakdancing "icon" is back in the headlines after shutting down a comedy musical about her iconic kangaroo dance.


    Did Ray Gun's lawyers really trademark the silhouette of a kangaroo pose? You bet they did!


    Join us as we unpack Ray Gun's cringey attempts at damage control, her bizarre insistence that she's not in it for the money, and the Streisand Effect in all its glory.


    Plus, we'll explore the internet's strange fascination with hot criminals and the fine line between anti-hero and straight-up bad guy.
