On episode 68 of the show we are joined by Vladimir Kuznetsov and Aleksei Stolyarov, jointly known as Vovan and Lexus, the Russian comedians noted for their prank telephone calls to prominent individuals. Their biggest pranks included Polish President Andrzej Duda, former US President George W. Bush, and of course most notable were calls with Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and ex-President of France Francois Hollande where it was revealed that France and Germany were never intending to uphold the Minsk Agreements. Most recently Thomas Bach (Head of the International Olympic Committee) fell prey to a prank telephone call amid rising tensions with Russia over restrictions on its athletes competing at the Paris Games.
