It's the final episode of 2016 in a week devoid of any news whatsoever. So what do your intrepid hosts get up to? We'll leave that as a mystery best unwrapped by you, the listener.

As annoying as they are, there probably is some once in a lifetime opportunities to be had interacting with those crazy peeps.
