Trump Makes BBLs More Pricey, Crushes on a Reporter & Shields His Belly From Iran | Youngmi Mayer
Ronny Chieng weighs in on Trump’s international affairs: a hike in tariffs to help his Brazilian doppleganger stay out of prison, an Iranian threat to his sunbathed bellybutton, and a light refresher on the pause in aid to Ukraine. Plus, Josh Johnson reflects on Trump’s understanding of African culture, from their languages to their love languages.
Troy Iwata finds one job that AI can't do: human carpet. Performance artist and professional human carpet Georgio shares examples of his work and gives Troy a crash course in letting people walk all over you.
Writer and comedian Youngmi Mayer sits down with Ronny to discuss her memoir “I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying.” They talk about growing up in Korea under the influence of pro-American propaganda, learning her Korean family history from her “certified yapper” mom, getting bullied for being biracial in Korea, and how she embodied the Korean practice of laughing through trauma in the book.

Elon’s Grok Chatbot Turns Hitler & Marco Rubio Gets an AI Imposter | Lauren Greenfield
Ronny Chieng dives into the expanding world of AI: Elon Musk's de-wokified Grok goes Nazi, a Marco Rubio imposter fools government officials, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt appreciates the mediocre world of AI-generated music.
Don’t worry about Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passing, because Michael Kosta is cracking the code on how you can exploit Medicaid cuts, gambling taxes, and even Alaskan tax breaks to make some sweet dough.
Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lauren Greenfield and Ronny dive into the effects of social media on teens, which she explores firsthand in her latest docu-series, “Social Studies.” She shares how she built up enough trust with the teenage documentary subjects to record their phone activities and how their discussion group highlighted kids’ hunger for in-person conversation and connection with their peers. Greenfield also discusses the unique duality of technology as both a “lifeline and a loaded gun” and how parents, companies, and governments need to do more to protect young people from the harms of social media by regulating the algorithm, withholding phones until kids are older, and implementing time limits on apps.

DOJ Erases Epstein & Netanyahu Kisses Trump's Ass With Peace Prize Nom | Author Michael Luo
The Department of Justice (and Michael Kosta) try to gaslight Ronny Chieng about a suddenly "nonexistent" Jeffrey Epstein client list, Trump lists Benjamin Netanyahu as a reference on his Nobel Peace Prize application, and the TSA ends their foot fetish. Ronny checks in on the status of Trump's trade war, including the president's half-firm decision on another tariff delay and his new international trade pen pal, "Mr. Japan." Michael Luo, author of "Strangers in the Land: Exclusion, Belonging, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America" and executive editor at The New Yorker, joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the untold stories of Asian American persistence and resilience in the face of bigotry. They talk about one of the worst mass lynchings in America involving Chinese immigrants, Wong Kim Ark’s Supreme Court fight for birthright citizenship, the pertinence of chronicling 19th-century expulsion during the Trump administration, and how this book became a 160,000-word response to a racial abuse incident on the Upper East Side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
