Today, Luke and Pete dive into the UK’s sugar tax and discover why Mexican Coke is far superior. Luke confesses he can’t stomach the punch of full-fat drinks anymore, unlike Pete, who’s mesmerised by the sheer amount of sugar he could consume — enough to make his liver beautifully sweet!

Elsewhere, they reflect on how acting has improved since the 80s, with Pete arguing that we’re expecting way too much from actors these days. Plus, he’s got some choice words for the kid from Adolescence, who, it turns out, actually did go to drama school…

And, how upset should you really be if your popcorn shrimp still has the poo sack inside?
