This week we decide to invade a country of our choosing, doesn't matter which, just pick one and lets go already! The ultimate American road trip, now including subjugation.

Also in this edition: can you get more out of your bank? What is going on in Theasius' basement? Why is that man putting lettuce down his trousers?

We were joined by Thomas Woodhams who is a tech recruiter, content creater and podcast host who can be found at:
