Summary
<p>It’s another wild week online including yet another internet meltdown involving a CEO. This episode begins with a new 'caught on camera' scandal at the US Open, where a paving CEO grabbed a signed cap meant for a child, sparking memes, fury, and tanked reviews for his company. </p><br /><p>Then the Trawl ladies head over to the White House Rose Garden, where Donald Trump raged about a scratch in his limestone path with more passion than he could muster for a tragic school shooting in Minneapolis. Marina and Jemma unpack the hypocrisy, America’s gun crisis, and the empty ritual of 'thoughts and prayers.' </p><br /><p>And finally, there’s the jaw-dropping plan to turn Gaza into a luxury resort — with Trump, Jared Kushner and yes, Tony Blair in the mix. The hosts trawl the takes, from biting satire to righteous outrage. </p><br /><p>The Under rated section is jam packed with people's takes on what Trump's brief break from Truth Social might have meant. </p><br /><p>From tennis courts to mass graves, the internet has feelings, and The Trawl is here to dredge them up.</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p> </p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p> </p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><p> </p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:</p><br /><p>• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on</p><p>• Early access to The Trawl Meets…</p><p>• Glorious ad-free episodes</p><br /><p>Plus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.</p><br /><p>And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
