Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Loadsitas episode 1,344 Monday, the 26th of January, 2026. So happy Australia Day to our Australian viewers in the audience. Today I'm joined by Firas and Josh.

Hello. Hello. Hello. And we're going to be talking all about today the absolute chaos in Minneapolis.

We're going to be also talking about who benefits from war with Iran.

And then we're going to be talking about the humiliation ritual that is the Chegos Islands deal.

So, obviously, just to remind you, once again, if you haven't heard,

if you've been stranded

in the Gobi Desert for the past three weeks with no signal, we have Islander out now,

it's £15 basically, rounded up on the main website, go and get it, wonderful aesthetics

by Rory, fantastic articles, meditations on power and heroism.

It's a terrific one, so do go and check that out.

I liked your Aragon piece a lot, by the way.

Oh, thank you very much.

Yeah, yeah.

Aragon's in there as well, ladies and gentlemen.

Do you?

Josh, anything been happening in Minneapolis recently?

What was that, Samson?

He said, don't forget to plug real politics.

Okay.
