Our Take: Nicki Minaj's road to MAGA, Albo's $6m golf club & dancing dogs

Welcome to this weekend’s Our Take brought to you by Chris Spyrou and Tessa Randello!

We kick things off with that Trump rally in Michigan, where Nicki Minaj flew in on Air Force One, “auditioned” to be the next White House Press Secretary, and copped a comment from the President about her “beautiful ass.”

We dig into how Nicki went from rapping about Trump wanting to send her home to calling herself his number one fan.

Then we crack open the inbox for the story hundreds of you couldn’t stop commenting on: Albo and that $6 million golf club grant.

Plus, listener Adam, a firie, sends in a voice note with his take on Elon Musk’s flying car.

Returning fan favourite Curtis Figon from Triple M is back for the Weekend Quiz, chasing a personal best of 4 out of 5... bless him.

And we wrap it all up with The Weekend List!
