In this episode, Marina and Jemma dive headfirst into the week’s online chaos, starting with a very British debate about kids and iPads at the dinner table. Kirstie Allsopp has thoughts, and so do they. From there, it’s a whirlwind tour through cultural clashes, viral romances, and the latest Trumpian monstrosity: a golden ballroom and a concrete patio. They unpack the U.S. employment nosedive and subsequent firing, Trump’s bizarre tariff spree (69 countries, really?), and the tourism crisis hitting even Las Vegas. Epstein’s legacy rears its ugly head again, with updates on Ghislaine Maxwell’s cushy prison transfer, plus theirs an update on White House Press Speaker Karoline Leavitt’s soul-selling antics and Trump's admiration for...her lips.
