The hosts dive into the absurdities of the real estate market and the Prime Minister’s purchases, all amidst a cost of living crisis. They discuss the manipulative use of taxpayer money and the role of lobbyists in obfuscating information.

The conversation also touches on a fun approach to political donations through new merchandise and the challenges of advocating for government accountability while fighting against secrecy.
