After a week's hiatus due to Pat and Mike veritably speechless after the US election result, the team finally peel themselves off the floor and try to find some kind of solace in making sense of it all. Pat discusses the affect of the media and the pitfalls of capitalism, while makes looks inwards and blames himself, and everyone else like him. The pair also discuss whether definition the term "foreign" should be expanded.

It's a doozie.

This week's episode is a mixed bag. Pat and Mike talk about how the Danish political party, Liberal Alliance wants to test whether you think like a Dane before you can become a Danish citizen. They believe being vetted by the Danish intelligence services PET is a possible solution. Then the pair go on to vilify The Royal Family after the revelation that they profit from the British National Health Service, schools and the military adding yet more fuel to the fire of just how much good does The Royal Family do for Britain? Finally, the American election and the racist, incendiary remarks at Trump's NYC rally last weekend are touched on.

Oh, and Mike sticks the boot into Joe Rogan after he publicly endorsed Trump, four years after endorsing Bernie Sanders.

Enjoy!
