Trump’s Jet Envy, World Peace via Soccer, and the $1,200 Candy Heist in London

from Ballot with Patrick Gutfield - Where Politics Meets Pop Culture · host Political Humor Today's News / Caloroga Shark Media

From Trump drooling over Qatar’s marble palaces and begging for a new plane, to his latest peace proposal—letting Russia play in the World Cup if they stop the whole “war” thing—it’s been another week of global diplomacy, Trump-style. Meanwhile, we check in on “ChiefsAholic,” the NFL superfan turned bank robber, and head to London, where American candy stores are charging $1,200 for two packs of sweets and hiding behind secret Scooby-Doo panels. No, really. All that plus gold accents in the Oval, jet-size jealousy, and why British police are confiscating bootleg cereal.Come for the sass, stay for the sanity—and blame the A.I. for the jokes that don’t land.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!
