Steed and Jrad center this week's Chubstep around the ways maps have strangely caused problems throughout time including now. First Jrad starts with how he felt justified gaming the system to get a new Stanley mug until his memory deceived him before getting to the main topic. The guys cover how terrible the first map was, how very short women are at the center of certain ideological maps, arbitrary lines on a map that led to conflicts hundreds of years later, disappearing islands, the lie your classroom maps told, when a watermark turned into a real town, the most expensive map ever purchased, and finally google maps leading to deaths and war crime. Finally Steed ends with a 'This Day in History' about the Amboyna 'Misunderstanding'
