In this reflective episode of Ponderland, David returns after a short break to unpack a whirlwind of world events — from Donald Trump’s surprising role in Middle East peace talks and FIFA’s strange new “World Peace Prize,” to the jaw-dropping announcement of Elon Musk’s $1 trillion pay award. David questions what a “trillionaire” really means for society, inequality, and the future of ordinary people.

He also muses on 3I/Atlas, the mysterious interstellar object sparking extraterrestrial speculation, and finds a heart-warming moment in Alan Carr’s victory on Celebrity Traitors, where charity triumphs and the memory of Wee Oscar Knox reminds us what truly matters.
