15.08.2025 pt 2 In this episode, Gareth and Ben dive into the complex debate around multiculturalism, arguing that while Europe’s model has eroded cultural identity, South Africa’s unique mix of traditions thrives without forced assimilation. They slam the homogenisation of culture into bland commercialism and champion cultural pride. The conversation shifts to Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad controversy, poking fun at the small but loud group of critics and exploring modern attitudes toward beauty and body image. From there, we share the story of Chloe Walker, who underwent forehead reduction surgery to boost her confidence, sparking a discussion on cosmetic surgery, self-improvement, and moving beyond childhood insecurities. In a bizarre turn, they dissect reports of Vladimir Putin traveling with a bulletproof suitcase containing his own bodily waste to avoid espionage, noting the paranoia and ego such measures reveal. The show wraps with a listener poll on the new three-hour format, with most respondents disliking it — though the gents vow to push ahead regardless.
