Because News

Trump's 'extraordinary' health, self-driving Ubers, and Italians won't have babies.

Comedians Scott Thompson, Candy Palmater, and author Tom Howell take this week's news quiz.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared this week on The Dr. Oz Show to brag about his 'astonishingly excellent' health. Our hilarious panel is playing the quiz game - Who Said It: Dr. Oz or Dr. Seuss?

It's that time of the year when the Oxford English Dictionary is updated. Listen to our first ever spelling bee, where we test our panellists on words like 'yogalates' and 'fuhggedaboudit.'
