This week the lads meet Professor Siobhan Matteson, who works with the Mosuo people of Yunnan Province, China.
In their matrilineal society, the resources are passed down the maternal line and they traditionally had no institutionalized form of marriage.
Turns out this might be a whole lot better for everyone's health.
There's also the small matter of Dave having meltdown and calling out a physicist for a fight in a car park.
Enjoy!
