Cheats and Cheeses: Are They Ever Justified?

Back once again by semi-popular demand, it's Button Boys, one of the top alliterative gaming shows of 2026. This week it's all about cheats and cheeses. Ever been stuck on a level and typed in a quick console command? Taken advantage of a game glitch to take out a hard boss? Ever felt bad, even once? In this episode, the Boys discuss the ins and outs of cheating and cheesing their way through games, work out whether it can ever be justified and hark back to the good old days of cheat codes.

We also catch up with the gang's latest gaming fancies, with Glenn stuck in culinary purgatory, Pierre turning his troops into popsicles and Sarah getting physical this week as they step away from the screen.
