Ep 182: I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT & other stateside craziness...

Yes, the internet can be an absolute cesspit at times, but it can also be a source of pure (Trawl) gold, as indeed it was thanks to the hilarious takes from the craziness going on stateside. You've got musical renditions of "they're eating the cats", a dramatic monologe and even a clip of The Simpsons, Chief Wiggum himself. Jemma and Marina discuss the move from cats and dogs...to geese, and the impact that has been had on the community in Springfield, Ohio since Trump's running mate, JD Vance admitted he will "create stories" if needs be. WOW. Then it's onto Trump publicly declaring his hate for pop star, Taylor Swift (as you do) and the dumbing down of our now global gutter politics and Trump's second assassination attempt - or was it?Musk makes an appearance too, given he appeared to incite violence on his own platform and the ladies discuss Kamala's favourite swear word, as well as their own. Finally, onto some underrated tweets of the week, including a howler in response to Tommy Robinson's new book, before finishing with a Trump flavoured pudding by The Kiffness that took the internet by storm.
