Ukraine’s president addressed the U.S. Congress on Thursday and closed his speech with a direct appeal to President Biden for a no-fly zone and more weapons.

Meanwhile, fans of big potatoes may be bummed to hear about a ruling from the folks who track world-record size tubers, and Stephen imagines how Parisians might have reacted to watching their iconic Eiffel Tower grow by 20 feet this week. Next, Michael Bublé had the experience of a lifetime when he got to work with Paul McCartney, who produced Michael’s cover of “My Valentine” on his new album, “Higher,” which is available everywhere on March 25th. And in this Pod Show exclusive extended interview, Rose Matafeo finds common ground with Stephen Colbert as the two discuss their bungee jumping experiences in New Zealand.

With Russia’s military bogged down in Ukraine, there is hope that the conflict could be over in a matter of weeks, especially if the Russian leader accepts Elon Musk’s challenge.

Catch Anne starring in the new AppleTV+ series, “We Crashed,” about the rise and fall of WeWork. And “The Lost City” star Da’Vine Joy Randolph tells Stephen how much she enjoyed working with Sandra Bullock, and confides that she kept a close eye on her neighbor Brad Pitt’s casita as they lived bubble-style in the Dominican Republic while filming.

Evidence is mounting that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is not going as smoothly as he’d planned, with Russian troops undersupplied and looting groceries for food. In Ukraine, the postal service is honoring the brave soldiers of Snake Island with a stamp commemorating their infamous retort to a Russian warship. Meanwhile, there’s a cursed painting available for only $50 on eBay, and a man in Florida did one of the most Florida things imaginable: called the police because his meth wasn’t working. Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock returns to The Late Show with stories from the set of her new film, “The Lost City,” in which she spends a significant amount of time acting in front of a naked Channing Tatum.
