It's not going to be in the free preview as they don't start on Carlz until about 24mins in.
I'm listening now and will update shortly.

Ok from about 24 mins
They talk about the cost of living in the UK and US. They explain that Carlz is unable to work due to illness but can garden. Jesse reads out the original go fund me info (initially in a British accent) about raising money for food parcels and growing veg so people can heat their homes. They talk about her then gaining an allotment and then food distribution from supermarkets. They describe her as making herself the middle man for food distribution apps.
Then they cut to her tiktok...she is not articulate, about when a woman cried when she got a food parcel and why has the government let this happen. Carlyz then said she is the kind of person who volunteers to help.
Jesse questions what does "feeding 1600 people mean, is it one potato each". Katie states that it is unclear exactly what this means and what her "single handedly feeding means" but that it is promoted as being a community effort.
Then the tiktok of Carly crying about the saltening of the land and nothing will grow. The hours and hours of work are dead and the salt is every where.
Jesse and Katie discuss if they can see the salt in the video and Jesses points out salt is very small but that he can see some white bits but not a lot.
Katie explains the story goes viral and Gary Linekar donates ££££ and that the go fund me went wild and raised £250k. They banter about another go fund me and that it might be a scam
Katie talks about the police being involved, Jesse questions if there is a salt police and also that the police statement is very editorial not like a police statement
Cut to Carly talking about the 300 families who won't get any onions or potatoes now and that she could taste the salt and that she had to keep having a drink. She is very heartbroken especially for the children and that it must have been another grower as who else would know that salt kills plants and it was over 5kg of salt so it can't be a kid.
Jesse starts laughing at the idea that nobody knows salt will stop things growing and can't tell if people are joking. They also question the salty air claim. Katie is disappointed that Monty Don didn't come to fix the soil and Jesses wishes Gordon Ramsey had told them there was too much salt.
They talk about the awards Carly got (FOR FREE) and that she is still feeding people but that there are questions over the saltening. They talk about how much salt would be needed to destroy the soil. It's about 18,000lb or salt per square acre. To contaminate Carlyz plot would need somewhere between 180 and 900lb of salt. Or basically a tractor load of salt.

Continued
katie then explains the lengthy saga of her opening a bank account and the drivers licence. Katie notes that Carly is sitting in the driver's seat of a car in one video. Both question why she doesn't get another ID.
Katie reads out and then they talk about the statement from Harlow Council published on YourHarlow. They note that the council tested the land and the salt levels are normal (Katie suggests the salt levels are from Carlyz tears). Katie goes over the end of food parcels and the fail schools projects. They then talk about the distribution of funds to other charities and the shortfall from money given out versus money raised plus that some organisations refused the money.
Katie notes that none of the media that covered the the original story have followed up. Jesse does an impression of Jack Monroe "if you're too poor to buy tinned spaghetti then buy a bushel of wheat and launch it at the wall". Jesse describes Monroe as a pathological scammer and liar. They also talk about another scammer Rebekah Jones
Katie questions why no media organisation had any level of scepticism about the salt and asks that if anyone is in Harlow and knows
