Yes, the internet can be an absolute cesspit at times, but it can also be a source of pure (Trawl) gold, as indeed it was thanks to the hilarious takes from the craziness going on stateside. You've got musical renditions of "they're eating the cats", a dramatic monologe and even a clip of The Simpsons, Chief Wiggum himself.
Jemma and Marina discuss the move from cats and dogs...to geese, and the impact that has been had on the community in Springfield, Ohio since Trump's running mate, JD Vance admitted he will "create stories" if needs be. WOW.
Then it's onto Trump publicly declaring his hate for pop star, Taylor Swift (as you do) and the dumbing down of our now global gutter politics and Trump's second assassination attempt - or was it?
Musk makes an appearance too, given he appeared to incite violence on his own platform and the ladies discuss Kamala's favourite swear word, as well as their own.
Finally, onto some underrated tweets of the week, including a howler in response to Tommy Robinson's new book, before finishing with a Trump flavoured pudding by The Kiffness that took the internet by storm.

The Trawl ladies are in a romantic mood at the top of this episode. 83 year old, Nan Schiff's dating life has inspired Jemma and Marina is very much enjoying excerpts from Diane Abbott's book which details her relationship with Jeremy Corbyn. Where did they go for their first date? The cinema? For dinner? Casual trip to a graveyard?
Then Marina and Jemma are compelled to discuss at length the horrifying Gisele Pelicot case which is currently going through the courts in France. There is a trigger warning on this part of the pod as it's a very harrowing and distressing case.
What should happen going forward? What needs to change in order to prevent this type of depraved criminality?
After that very serious topic, there's a bit of a gear change as the latest bit of Daily Mail outrage is looked at and it's time for under rated tweets

Jovan stood against Nigel Farage in the last election as the candidate for Labour and sadly lost. At twenty seven years old he's the antithesis of Farage in every way and would certainly have gone about things differently had he won. He would have spent lots of his time in Clacton for instance. But, it wasn't to be and, as Jemma points out, the whole episode will be difficult for right minded voters in Clacton to listen to because the man is an inspiration, a force for good and passionate about affecting change for all the right reasons.
Find out what happened on doorsteps as he campaigned, what his encounters with Farage were like and where he buys his clothes which have even caught the eye of GQ.
Plus, Marina has a prediction. You heard it here first!
Enjoy!

The Mail are OUTRAGED... again. They're outraged about something so mild (vegan cafes), Jemma and Marina decide to bring up somethings which are actually enraging. For instance, Vance thinks staying in abusive relationships is the right thing to do... the Trawl ladies don't agree.
They spend some time discussing Labour's decision to take away the winter fuel allowance against a backdrop of never ending revelations regarding Covid corruption which simply keep on coming. The public have been fleeced - but why should pensioners suffer? Or anyone else for that matter, as energy companies and water companies keep raking in huge profits.
And then it's onto THE debate - Trump v Harris gleaned plenty of Trawl gold. Migrants eating pets anyone?
How did they do? Has Taylor Swift's endorsement made a difference? Which were the best soundbites? It's all in this packed Trawl.
-
Summer's over and the Trawl ladies start this pod with some inspiring chat about how to cope with the shorter days. Let's get fat and sassy everybody!
Then they hop over to the States because there's a lot of pre Trump Harris debate to cover which frankly is Trawl gold. Though one of the revelations about Trump's washing habits is pretty stinky - oh dear, or should that be odour.
The Donald is lashing out all over the shop, his tweets are all in CAPS and apparently Harris is an illegal alien. Okaaaa. Still, has he finally admitted that he did lose the election?
Meanwhile, Fox are also on the brink. They've got a lot to say about the fact Tim Walz once drunk a milkshake with a straw which apparently is not masculine. Jemma and Marina wonder what is a masculine way to drink a shake. The mind boggles.
In the pre election build up, Trump and Vance are light on policy but heavy on waffle. For instance, Vance thinks the answer to childcare being so unaffordable is to just get your family to do it.... so that's that solved.
There's a lot of stuff to plough through, much of it toe curling, all of it Trawl worthy.

Did you get tickets for Oasis? No, nor did Jemma. And at over £350 a pop, she's gone right off the idea. The ladies open on the dynamic pricing uproar surrounding the ticket sales and find a tweet from Liam Gallagher that aged like milk.
Then it's onto the outrage that was reported by the Daily Mail after Starmer removed Thatcher's portrait from his new home - quite who was outraged, perhaps we'll never know, and Larry the Cat's milk appears to have gone missing.
Next, King Charles is getting a pay rise - good for him! (if you're a deferential serf that think's it's totally cool for one person to own the entire seabed) The ladies discuss rising inequality and what would happen if aliens were to stumble on the rather odd way we've ended up arranging our planet's finances.

Labour are considering a ban on smoking outdoors which the hospitality industry are understandably concerned about. Esther McVey however, posted a response which managed to be, not just incredibly stupid and disproportionate and offensive too. Well done, you've won gold in the wally Olympics. Dorries has been in the running too because Johnson's biggest cheerleader is not happy that Rayner...danced...on holiday.
Marina and Jemma unpack the outrage, dissect the responses but talk seriously too about the partial ban on arms to Israel which is far higher on their list of things to be concerned about.
There are underrated tweets as ever and pudding is by Larry and Paul

Oasis are back! The nation are mad for it. Jemma and Marina discuss the frenzy of excitement around the announced Oasis reunion and there are clips galore including the iconic one starring Kathy Burke.
Then its to the Rose Garden where Keir Starmer has made a speech. Is it a little bit thorny or are we smelling of roses? The jury is out until the October budget, but it's not looking massively optimistic.
We then pay tribute to football manager Sven Goran Eriksson followed byEp 176 a multitude of wonderful underrated tweets before finishing off with a triumphant pudding by Munya Chawawa.

The Trawl is back! The Trawl ladies are full of energy and ready to dissect all the latest bellendery - and there’s a lot….
Footballer and presenter, Jermaine Jenas, has been inspiring limericks with his online behaviour and Andrew Tate is in Romania on charges for multiple horrific crimes.
Talking of felons, we then cross over to the States where Trump is falling apart before our eyes and in our ears. Hear the shoutiest, weirdest soundbite so far.
Marina and Jemma are so happy to be back. There are under rated tweets, laughs, a smattering of despair and a moment which requires us to imagine what Queen Elizabeth would have made of ‘the Donald’. Spoiler - Jemma and Marina are pretty convinced she’d have found him awful.
Enjoy!

Jemma is away on holiday this week, so The Trawl is taking a well earned break until she gets back, refreshed and sporting a lovely suntan. Although, we couldn't just leave you high and dry this week! So we've compiled some of the best bits from our Trawl Meets series for your delectation.
Please enjoy this medley of some of our favourite moments from our chats with Gary Lineker, Carol Vorderman, James O'Brien and Jess Phillips.
We'll be back to our regularly scheduled Trawling very soon!

This week's pod opens with a chuffed and excited Marina, who realised that she has what it takes to be an Olympian - or more specifically, an Australian breakdancing Olympian.
Marina and Jemma lament what X has become under Musk, who has been taking aim at the UK in his new self-appointed role of free speech hero of the people. Though, as the ladies discuss, Musk doesn't always practice what he preaches...
Liz Truss has been out-lettuced once again thanks to Led By Donkeys, and Musk is displaying all the maturity of a 10-year-old in his meme response to the EU's Digital Enforcer, who wrote an open letter reminding him that with a great platform, comes great responsibility.
Then it's over to the US for some Trawl gold, courtesy of Donald Trump who appears bigly confused, before an underrated clip of the week that will leaving you feeling all exotic and maybe even bilingual...

The fallout from the riots continues, with Met Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley responding badly to a question on two-tier policing. Marina and Jemma discuss how this term came about and why the hell Elon Musk is adding to its use with his inevitably viral tweet: #TwoTierKier. Give the state of his X platform and what does/doesn't constitute a violation, he may want to look closer to home...
Then it's onto Tommy Robinson, who has been unable to understand the lack of sympathy after his hotel location was doxxed by the Daily Mail. Worry not, some wonderful people on social were very quick to let him know...
Jemma and Marina touch upon the heartbreaking turned heartwarming stories of Mohammad and Brendan who had their business and car destroyed, and the incredible power of the human spirit.
Speaking of which, the Olympics continues to dazzle, with a certain pole vaulter capturing the attention of many, and Kamala Harris may have picked herself the most fabulous running mate with an impressive track record and a sense of humour to boot...

It's been a tough old week for the country after days of violence on our streets by rioters - and no, they aren't pro-Britain marches or anti-immigration protests – they are rioters. End of.
Jemma and Marina discuss the road that got us here, and the pied pipers at the helm who are now trying their best to distance themselves from the so called 'Farage riots' - yeah, good luck with that.
Then to the rioters themselves - who are stealing crocs, smashing up Greggs and chucking Lush bath bombs, all in the name of protecting our children, of course.
Elon Musk gets a mention given he now has a deep interest in UK politics and is seemingly happy to stir the pot and sow disinformation.
Jemma and Marina wrap up with some pertinent and powerful underrated tweets including one from Dr Gabor Matte, but the cherry on the cake is pudding, when Darren called into LBC and stole our hearts. Everyone. Be more Darren.

Warning - this episode was recorded remotely and there are moments when George sounds like he’s in space. We apologise for the poor sound quality in those moments but he’s so worth listening to hopefully substance makes up for style
George Monbiot is a journalist, author, and environmental and political activist. He writes a regular column for The Guardian and has written several books.
In 2023 he went viral on Question Time having finally been asked back after a long hiatus. Jemma and Marina kick the episode off with that barnstorming clip when George let us know what he really thought about the Rwanda policy. Spoiler alert - he wasn’t keen.
The Trawl ladies are fascinated to learn about his time at Oxford university and why the culture wasn’t for him. He was there at the same time as some of the most infamous members of the Bullingdon Club…. say no more.
It goes without saying there’s climate conversation, politics chat and clips with a man Marina and Jemma could listen to all day.

With riots kicking off and more planned for the weekend, Jemma and Marina open with a chat about those who appear more than happy to stoke the flames and the media platforms that do nothing to put out the fires. Speaking of which, Elon Musk has been having online beef with his estranged child, and when he's not doing that he's sharing deepfake videos of Kamala Harris that threaten US democracy.
And US democracy is indeed at threat, especially given Trump's tacit admission that if people vote for him now, they won't have to vote again - red flag, anyone?! After a few clips of Trump managing to come across even weirder and more dense than usual, it's onto JD Vance and that couch rumour...
Then, brace yourself for one of the most bizarre underrated clips ever from Nick Ferrari's show on LBC. You might never look at Nutella the same way again...

Jemma and Marina felt they couldn't start this episode without mentioning the tragic events in Southport. Three little girls have been murdered and many more children, carers and police officers have been injured. Yet, as Southport grieves and tries to process the atrocity, certain people on the far right have deemed it appropriate to incite violence based on circulated misinformation - a dark day indeed.
Then the Trawl ladies look at the £22 billion black hole left by the Tories. Jeremy Hunt is neither prepared to apologise nor take any accountability - so whose fault is it and how can Labour claw back money for spending.
Then to Paris we go for Celine, drag queens, slow boats and drizzly weather. Was it a phenomenal success? Or a washout? Either way, Starmer was prepared. No plastic cagoule for him!
Pudding is from The Marsh Family and is a nod to the next episode which will be popping Stateside once more.

And the Republicans go after Kamala's...laugh?!
Kamala, Kahmaala, Kohmohla - Jemma and Marina open with a little lesson in how best to pronounce the name of the woman who is getting Republicans all hot under the collar over in the US.
But first, domestic issues - with a focus on the Labour rebellion that saw seven Labour MPs lose the whip after voting against the Government in regards to the much loathed two-child benefit cap. Might this fallout not be as black and white as it first seemed? Owen Jones certainly didn't seem to think so...
Then we cross state-side, where the VP-pick, JD Vance (or JD Sports as Jemma likes to call him as "he' a massive mug") has decided to insult swathes of the population by being insulting to "childless cat ladies". Then Jemma and Marina pour over our very own UK homegrown Trumpsters, like Russell Brand and Nigel Farage - thank goodness we have national treasures like Kathy Burke to tell it like it is!

Biden has stood down! But, before the Trawl ladies get to that, they want to discuss the Crowdstrike bug which hit Microsoft hard. People in offices were crossing their fingers Teams would go down too so they could leave early, some poor souls had their flights cancelled or experienced other huge inconveniences, others didn't even notice.
Then, it's off to the States where it's all happening. Or, not happening in Biden's case. President Biden will not be running against Trump and for the good of the party is endorsing Kamala Harris. There's plenty of reaction to trawl plus the embarrassment of Farage and Truss trying to be relevant and pretending they're part of the inner circle. Hilarious clips prove otherwise. Liz who?
Emily Maitlis gives an interviewing masterclass and you won't believe what someone who owns 19 air rifles does for a living.
Stuffed with clips galore this is a digest which will make you concur with one of the Under Rated Tweets by Labour MP Chris Bryant who said There are many flaws in the UK constitution but the fact that we can change the party of government in the twinkling of an eye with minimal fuss and without preposterous claims of a stolen election is a pearl of great price. Some countries take months, we take hours
Pudding is wonderful - it's imported from the U S of A and is by Emmy and Grammy Nominated Comedian, Actor and Singer Randy Rainbow

This episode starts with a sobering chat about the recent murder of Carol, Louise and Hannah Hunt. The three women were killed brutally leaving a sister and father behind. Marina and Jemma ponder the fact that a woman is killed by a man, in her own home, every three days. A shocking statistic which surely requires immediate attention.
Then the talk turns to Labour and the good and bad things they’ve been up to this week. Wes Streeting banning puberty blockers provokes a discussion as does the picture of Lammy shaking hands with Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, Farage is selling himself on Cameo which leads to a clip Jemma insists on playing for context, despite the fact Marina has serious reservations about its suitability!
Pudding is incredibly moving.

Football isn’t coming home - again. So where are we on Southgate? Is he a legend? Or a roaring disappointment?
And then, where were you when you found out that someone tried to assassinate Trump?
Marina and Jemma delve into what this shocking news might mean. Does it mean the election is in the bag for the Republican Party?
And who is JD Vance and why is his appointment as Vice President so depressing if not surprising?
Then it’s under rated tweets. Cilla’s gone international!
And pudding is related to the Trump news.
Poignant.
