This week, we investigate the happiest nations on Earth and ask: How?! Finland is officially joyful, the UK is redefining disability, and the bizarre love-hate triangle of Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy—does anyone in that mess feel happy? Meanwhile, in Dublin, Molly Malone is getting groped… but why?

Plus, we take a trip back in time to when a British Prime Minister found himself in an actual duel (yes, with real guns), and Andy treats us to his latest, highly scientific, bear impressions.

This week, Andy and Alice tackle the big (and weird) stories of the moment—Ukraine, Trump, Starmer, and, of course, some truly terrible meetings. In health news, there’s actual cancer research progress (for once!), but we’re also forced to confront the true power of avocados. Meanwhile, the Pope is unwell, AI continues its quest for world domination, and we opt in—begrudgingly or otherwise.

Would you befriend the guy rocking a dangling George Michael crucifix earring and a beret? Today we’re talking all about what it’s like to work with your friends with the one and only Jo Lo Truglio. Mel, Steph and Joe reminisce about the good old Brooklyn Nine-Nine days and the magic that comes from working with your buds. Spoiler alert: The guy with the earring? That was Joe circa 1988.
