Have you ever stolen anything? In this episode, Sam and Anna talk all about crime, starting with Anna's guilty childhood confession and moving on to why shoplifting has exploded in the UK, how Poland's fully automated shops work, and what really makes someone commit a crime in the first place.
Along the way we talk about security-tagged cheese, Amazon's "AI" stores that turned out to be people watching cameras, Sam's stolen bikes, why Dubai is so safe, the last public hanging in the UK, and whether some people are just born bad (plus a surprising tangent about evil hamsters).

Who should pay on a first date? In this episode, Sam and Anna dig into one of the most debated questions about dating, and find that the "right" answer changes a lot depending on where you're from. They compare traditional Eastern European expectations with how dating works in the UK, and get into the politics, psychology, and awkwardness of who reaches for the bill.
Along the way, we talk about Fifty Cent's famous answer, what a first date in the UK is actually like, a student's feminist argument for why men should pay, age gaps and wealth, and the ex-girlfriend in Spain who refused to let Sam pay a single euro.

Can you stop buying things you don't need? In this episode (part two of two on consumerism), Sam and Anna answer a set of questions about shopping, from whether they prefer buying in-store or online to the real problems consumerism causes and how to fight it.
Along the way, we talk about online grocery shopping, funny product reviews, why fast fashion is such a problem, buying your way to an identity, why people document everything on social media, and Anna's simple "delay buying" trick that stops most impulse purchases.
