'One day, maybe, I'll be advertising de-tox tea on YouTube.'

Following the Love Island suicides, Ruth and Dad ask if enjoyment of the show makes you complicit in the tragedies; and Ruth gets a tiny taste of what public disapproval feels like with her second hate mail in two weeks. Also, conspiracy theories - whether it's Princess Diana, Madeleine McCann, or the moon landing, they remain irresistible to young people. It might have something to do with the teenage brain, which Ruth and Dad also discuss, and musically, Kenny Rogers takes on Subculture Sage.
