Benari and Kevin give in to the rhythm and go to Rio! That's right, the boys are in BRAZIL! Beaches! Bikinis! Carnivale! The World Cup! Protests! Riots! Economic Inequality! And what do Martians, Nazis, and Steven Seagal have to do with it? Plus, no trip to the Amazon would be complete without Kevin's favorite fish detective, Jeremy Wade! What're we waiting for...let's go to BRAZIL!
What do Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yushchenko, Mila Kunis, Charlie Rose, Bill O'Reilly, Steven Seagal, Jeremy Wade, Joseph Stalin, and Jackée all have to do with the crisis in Ukraine? And why is it bad for the Jews? The boys go digging for answers and this time, not even Kevin is safe from Benari's wild conspiracy theories!
While investigating the Malaysian government's bungled handling of Flight 370, Kevin and Benari find themselves caught up in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder. And sodomy. And Spaceballs. And Zoolander. And two Malaysian prime ministers -- not including the one from Zoolander. And what does Christiane Amanpour have to do with all of this? It’s Malaysia, She Wrote!
Putin's at it again. And this time, he's after Crimea. All of your favorite WTFAW action stars are back: John Kerry, John McCain, John Rambo, Rocky, Steven Seagal, and The Mongols! With music by The Russian Police Choir and Iron Maiden. It's Crisis in Crimea!
Sochi. With its subtropical climates and beautiful beaches, it's one of the warmest places in Russia. So it's the perfect place to hold the WINTER Olympics, right? Did we mention it's also right next door to some of the most dangerous and violent areas in the world? And what does Steven Seagal think about all this? Kevin and Benari talk Putin, Chechens, the Sopranos, LGBT issues, and even Bob Costas's pink eye. All this and a creepy wax figure of Joseph Stalin, too!
Oh, look. Benghazi is back in the news! It really is the Newman to Obama's Seinfeld. And it was only a matter of time before Kevin and Benari would be forced to address it. Can we trust anyone's account of what happened? Listen to find out! Plus, what's weird and creepy and had a crush on Condi? Muammar Gaddafi was a weird guy. A very weird and creepy guy...
The War on Christmas heats up as Kevin's homeland of Canada makes a bold land grab for Santa's home, the North Pole! Which country can legitimately claim the jolly fat man and the North Pole as their own? Benari and Kevin do some digging to find out if anyone really knows what the hell is going on up there. Break out the snowmobiles and bundle up; WTFAW is going to the North Pole!
What do Rambo, Rob Ford, and The Voice have to do with Afghanistan?

And Kevin finds himself still defending his hometown of Toronto. For some reason. Tune in!
In this episode, Kevin and Benari discuss Iran, its new leader Hassan Rouhani, and what this has to do with you. Listen as they manage to cover 4,000 years of Persian history in three minutes, tackle Rouhani’s budding bromance with President Obama, and talk about some things you may not know about, like Iran’s nuclear weapons capability.

Also, Kevin reveals his true feelings about the film “Argo” & Batfleck.

In this episode, Kevin and Benari turn their attention to the north - The Great White North - as they try to figure out what the hell is going on in Kevin’s hometown of Toronto.
