Settle down, it’s just society.

Ever felt like an outcast? Have problems picking up on the most basic of social cues? Feel as though people look straight through you? What about that sinking feeling of saying something and being unsure if it was received as intended? Yeah, well here’s a place that will almost certainly make you feel better. Join myself Joel Karpin, and a range of others as we discuss societies labyrinthine workings and how badly things can go wrong.

The world has come to an unfortunate end, Keatsy has received a call directly from D. Trump and his catfish skinned sidekick Elon. He's won a one way ticket to Mars to restart civilisation. What's he do? The answer will surprise some, others not so much. 

There's also trains, buskers and some absolute rubbish about cricket.

We discuss Keats beatz sales strategies and give a shout out to some prospective investors.

On a serious note........

Ranto and Joel makes a very serious artistic mistake. Our golden girls are really propping up the Australian olympic team while my dog had testicles that are worth 318 grams of 24 carat gold.

I reckon the Kremlin is listening in, which is more than Aussie icon, Jack Karlson will be doing since he's now eating a succulent chinese meal from the great takeaway in the sky.

He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.
