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.

Introducing “Butt McGee” | Working with Friends with Joe Lo Truglio from More Better with Stephanie & Melissa.

Follow the show: More Better with Stephanie & Melissa

Would you go into business with your friend? Is calling someone your “work wife” cringe? How do you make friends at work? What’s it like to have your actual spouse as your boss? 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.

Tiff Stevenson and Anuvab Pal join Andy Zaltzman for more of your finest bullshit bookended satire.

This week, the team report on Germany's tentative shift to the right, Trump wondering why 'dictator' Zelenskyy, Starmer and Macron have done nothing to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Liz Truss urging 'Elon's nerd army' to examine Britain's 'deep state' and - in comparatively normal news - Amazon buying James Bond.

Meanwhile, Anuvab's yoga teacher imparts some wisdom to apply to all of the above.

Listen in for top-tier satire, incisive analysis, and the usual dose of nonsense.
