What is the greatest chocolate bar, movie villain, kitchen appliance or anything else humanity has produced?
Each episode, friends Matt and Mat bring three contenders apiece, argue their cases and attempt to destroy each other’s choices with facts, passion and highly questionable logic.
But they do not choose the winner. You do.
After every episode, listeners vote on social media to decide which contender deserves to be crowned the GOAT.
Six contenders. Two opinionated hosts. One impossible question.
What’s the GOAT?
The Hall of Shame | Ep 1: The Worst Invention of All Time
Humanity has given us the wheel, electricity, space travel... and a $700 machine that squeezes bags of juice.
Welcome to The Hall of Shame, the brand-new solo spin-off from What's the GOAT?, where we stop celebrating the greatest and start honouring the gloriously terrible.
In our inaugural episode, Matt investigates three spectacular examples of human ingenuity gone horribly wrong.
With bizarre facts, questionable decisions, ridiculous commentary and the completely unscientific Shame-O-Meter, only one invention can receive the inaugural Golden Lemon and earn a permanent place in The Hall of Shame.
Three inventions. One prestigious dishonour. Absolutely no quality control.
🎙️ What's the GOAT? celebrates greatness. The Hall of Shame celebrates everything else.

An special message
Bad news: there’s no new episode of What’s the GOAT? this week.
Good news: we haven’t been cancelled.
As far as we know.
Mat and Matt are taking a one-week breather to rest, recover, and continue the important scientific work of arguing about things that absolutely do not matter.
We’ll be back next week with a brand-new episode and another completely unnecessary battle to decide the GREATEST of something.
