About
Russell Hicks and Zahra Barri are two comedians in a relationship, who have been locked in an apartment together for an entire year. They argue about nearly everything. They have decided to record those arguments and share them with the world. Every episode they will select a range of topics from the world of popular culture, or from inside their neurotic minds, to debate on air. At the end they either 'Agree' or 'Agree to Disagree', but they always find 'Something We Can All Agree On'. Feel free to continue the argument at home with your own partner! Spreading love. It's what they do....
