Phil and Cooper have an update on this week's Iranian elections, as well as an important race being overshadowed by the presidential election. They also discuss the Notorious R.T.E. (Recep Tayyip Erdogan), who traveled to the US this week, and his decade-long diss track against Fethullah "Makaveli" Gulen. Also, Egypt's own Punk'd is a real rabble-rouser during Ramadan.
