A sitcom about a wildly disruptive video podcast, featuring a cast of top comedians portraying the rogue's gallery of unhinged interviewees. Each episode, hosts Robin (the stupid man's Louis Theroux) and Leo (the even more stupid man's Logan Paul) delve deep into everything from masculine identity to political activism, as they grill a special guest on a pressing contemporary issue with the help (but hindrance) of their conspiracy theorist techie Maz. The 'enlightening conversation' is inevitably derailed by Robin and Leo's personal foibles, when discursive debate quickly spirals into farcical narrative.

The guest stars are Rufus Sewell, Natasia Demetriou, Seb Cardinal, Ellie White and Paul Chahidi.
