The War On Helium

October 29, 2026 · 15 min

Show notes

The Trump Administration has designated helium as a critical material, given recent shortages caused by (pause for breath of helium) geopolitical tensions following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. But will Albo join the president's fight to protect childrens' fundamental right to fun balloons at parties? Plus, Charles reveals the hilarious joke he's been doing for more than thirty years.
