This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Hari Kondabolu and Anuvab Pal for a turbo-charged tour through history, politics, and questionable phone etiquette.


🍁 In Canada, Trump somehow manages to swing the election against him—was trying to make just one extra state the fatal flaw? We dig into North America's weirdest geopolitical fantasy.


📱 Pete Hegseth’s phone game is all over the place—so naturally, we guess what might explain his behaviour. We're probably wrong.


🧵 The Bayeux Tapestry—beautiful, historic, and possibly the result of an 11th-century frat house? We count the danglers (yes, actual danglers), and ask: was this the first ever meme thread?


🔔 Hit LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for your weekly dose of international satire, ancient art mockery, and unfiltered Bugle nonsense.


Produced by Chris Skinner and Laura Turner.
