Saddam Hussein's Cheesecake Factory (with Nish Kumar)
Nish Kumar joins Armando to look at some at the petulance of politics. The name calling, the focus on the fringes of politics, and why politicians throw hissy fits.
Armando is joined by comedian Nish Kumar to talk about petulance in politics.
With Flavio Bolsonaro flouncing off, Trump accolytes baulking at Obama's joke, and Elon Musk creating his own 'historically accurate' Odyssey, are we seeing political language and action become infected by greivance?
Elsewhere, there are Sean Connery impressions, Nish rails against paperclips, we discover Armando's role in creating a heartthrob.
