This week the two guys that you're already listening to discuss the power of #social #media #experts, their routine mistakes, one PARTICULARLY bad mistake, the war between the internet jokemen and their possible but not remotely confirmed or researched connections to known terror groups, and which inflight magazines Ed reads. Also, what's a Brexit, and why should you care? Felix also performs a good deed. Congratulations Felix.

Ed and Felix are back to discuss the internet's reaction to tragedy, to death, to the terrible world we live in; by using social media to find their own personal take on the story.

Hear Ed lose his temper about Emoji, Emojis, or whatever their plural is. Hear Felix talk about his budding relationship with Zoe Deschanel. Hear them both have a worryingly intelligent discussion about the way in which people discuss tragedy on Twitter, Facebook and other places. Welcome to the third episode of The Scumbag, where dreams never come true, and we're sorry.

On this week's podcast, Felix and Ed discuss the important issue of the important issues; when those despite their ability to discuss anything discuss everything, regardless of what knowledge they have on the subject. Tweetstorms, celebrity pieces on current events and basically anyone who should be shutting up on a subject.

The internet's favorite game, thanks to Twitter and Facebook, is pontificating pointlessly about subjects that are important in the news and then accusing random parties as best they can.

We also delve into the gun debate, and why it's so polarized, confusing and unproductive.

A weirder, hornier form.

From the internet of sweeties to Jokemen With Intent, join Felix Biederman and Ed Zitron on their first jaunt into the hell of the internet. This is Scumbag.
