That's right, your eyes do not deceive you, Ben and Aron are back!They hit the ground running with a divisive take on the new album VULTURES by Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, which leaves them questioning is KANYE WEST washed?

To avoid being boxed in as a music podcast, they also discuss the latest rumours relating to XBOX releasing a selection of their exclusives on the PS5, as well as the CALL OF DUTY rumours.

The two then settle, once and for all, whether BACARDI or CAPTAIN MORGAN'S make the better rum, before closing out with a quick discussion on the teasers for the third part of the new trilogy from THE WEEKND.

There's then a final discussion on the CLOVERFIELD franchise and the month's most important award shows.
