Summary
It's tough consuming the news at the moment, which is why positive news stories should be celebrated - like Tommy Robinson being sentenced to 18 months in prison. Wahey!
But all is not so joyous over in The US, in fact, it's pretty terrifying following Trump's latest rally in Madison Square Garden which included a speech so grotesque, that it convinced Ricky Martin and JLo to publicly endorse the opposition, and could cost the Trump campaign dearly.
Jemma and Marina discuss what it is that billionaires like Musk are searching for and how others, specifically Bezos, are choosing to protect their own vested interests as opposed to doing what is right.
Still on the US, Marina shares an anecdote from a discussion with her brother-in-law that got her triggered and then it's onto a clip from pro-Trump agitator Tucker Carlson that will likely trigger you all - apologies in advance.
With too much US drama dominating the episode, Jemma goes rogue with some off-piste underrated tweets to make you smile topped off with pudding from The Marsh Family: their very own US-election inspired song named, Bohemiam Trumpsody.
