Summary
Ronny Chieng tackles the president of South Africa's uncomfortable White House visit and a MAGA couple shortchanged by a "RUMP" watch. Plus, Trump sets his heart on a $542 billion "golden dome" to protect America from hypothetical attacks, including those provoked by international roast comic Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
Charlamagne Tha God looks at Republicans' obsession with Trump as a father figure and reminds them that not only is Trump a bad dad to his own kids, he's an abusive dad to Americans.
Screenwriter, comedian, and actor Simon Pegg joins Ronny to discuss the final installment of the legendary franchise, “Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.” They talk about Pegg’s humble beginnings doing standup with his goldfish, how “Mission: Impossible” Director Christopher McQuarrie weaved earlier films into the franchise’s ending, the power of movie theaters to unite people in experiences, and Tom Cruise’s comedic timing while performing epic live-action stunts.
