In our most educational episode yet, we discuss... education. With the help of pop/punk singer Bronnie, we breakdown the school system of the US and the UK (surprisingly one of the first questions Americans are asked overseas). We have college; they have university. We have the common app; they have UCAS. We have schoolbus; they do not have schoolbus. The songs featured in this episode are the newly released "Closure" by Sola, and Bronnie's lastest single "Lost and Found".

Starjumps vs. Jumping Jacks, Queue vs. Line, Hair Tie vs. Bobble vs. Bauble vs. Christmas Ornament. If that last one makes no sense to you, ya better click that play button! Shout the f&#k out to Tanya, Scoochi Verucci and AJ's bag of c%*ts. The songs featured in this episode are "The Switch" by AJ Marks and "Ride" by The Post Romantics.
