This week on Two Guys, What's Up?, Iain dives into one of the internet's biggest mysteries: where did the term "conspiracy theorist" come from? Was it really popularised after the JFK assassination to silence people who asked too many questions, or has its history become muddied over time? We trace the origins of the phrase, examine the genuine 1967 CIA document at the centre of the debate, and separate historical fact from fiction.

Meanwhile, Jordan flies the flag of the White Rose with a collection of classic Yorkshire jokes, from legendary penny-pinching to proper Yorkshire misunderstandings, sayings and stereotypes. Whether you're from Yorkshire or just enjoy a good laugh, there's plenty to get stuck into.
