Andy's Random News Balls

This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Josh Gondelman and Anuvab Pal for an episode bursting with chaos, tangents, and stories so random they feel algorithmically generated.

As Andy prepares to fly to Australia for The Ashes, the big question is: is he even slightly focused? The evidence suggests no.

🎯 TOP STORY – RANDOM NEWS ROUND-UP:

🏆 Cheating Pub Quiz News — Move over Louvre heist! The latest great intellectual crime spree takes place in a British pub, and it involves phones, trivia, and moral collapse.
🪙 American Coin News — The US Mint has been busy. Or weird. Or both. We examine America’s ongoing attempt to turn currency into a stand-up routine.
🤖 Russian Robot News — Russia unveils a robot. Or a “robot.” Or a man in a tinfoil box. The details are, frankly, inconclusive.
🇺🇸 Trump News — Because of course there is.

A dizzying tour of the world’s oddest headlines — just another day at The Bugle.
