We take the week's money news, the internet's worst money moments and a few hot takes, and turn them into rounds: The Big 3, Guess The Number, Agree to Disagree, Hall of Shame and a Quick-fire finale. Expect rip-offs, a few arguments and a lot of laughing.

✅ The £73,645 ringside seat for Fury v Joshua, and whether anyone actually paid it
✅ Why I think airport drop-off charges are the biggest scam going
✅ Netflix putting its cheapest plan up from £5.99 to £7.99, and paying for a subscription that still shows you ads
✅ Guess The Number: Steven Bartlett's $52m, Harry Styles' £24.7m tax bill and a £408 Glastonbury ticket
✅ Is legal tax avoidance actually wrong? The lads don't agree
✅ A £20k wedding or a house deposit, and is investing £10 a month pointless?
✅ The bride who invoiced her friend £1,790 after a Bali wedding
