Summary

This episode of Landline, we flipped the script with a slightly chaotic, barely organized game show: Ring Ring Revolution. Hosted by myself (Inga Headland) and two pint-sized cohosts (ages 5 and 8), this episode dove into the hilarious chaos of kid logic, impromptu history lessons, and the art of getting every trivia question wrong.

We called up brave volunteers for a high-stakes game where wrong answers mean instant deportation to Canada – or at least a lot of playful ribbing. Expect debates about whale eggs, the smell of America, and why Trump just needs some friends.

Highlights

* Vera's art project reveal (pineapples and barns, naturally)

* 5-year-old Rosa’s hot takes on Trump, friendship, and America’s smell (spoiler: farts)

* The surprisingly hard game of U.S. state trivia – including why it’s illegal to get a fish drunk in Ohio

* The chaos of live kid cohosts and a poolside swing night announcement at Dive Motel
