Ben and Luke talk about the hate crime Jussie Smollett allegedly faked and the girl who joined a terrorist group and now wants to come home. They also discuss the films of the Coen brothers, Yul Brynner's weird beyond-the-grave anti-smoking ad, and Donald Trump's alleged kinky dealings with a Russian hooker. (Disclaimer: Ben incorrectly names Michael Avenatti as Smollett's lawyer. Avenatti has been linked to the R. Kelly case, another recent celebrity scandal, so Ben simply got confused. Also, Ben and Luke mistake the girl in Syria who wants to come back to the UK and the 10-year-old girl who got pregnant as being the same person when they're two separate people. Ben and Luke were very tired on the day of the recording.) FUNNY TALKS WITH BEN AND LUKE. Hosted by Ben Sherlock and Luke Jamieson. Shot and Edited by Spencer Cammayo.

Ben and Luke get morbid as they discuss the celebrity deaths of 2018 and deliver some candid truths about themselves along the way. Bear in mind that this was recorded before the tragic passing of Stan Lee, so that's why he doesn't get a mention.
