Summary

Trump closes out his first year as president (again) with a finger-crushing book of accomplishments while he leans into his goal for Year 2: acquiring Greenland. Josh Johnson tracks how Trump’s mumbling about his need to own “Iceland” in Davos morphed into a vague "concept of a deal" with the president who never hears the word “no.” In another edition of Everything Is Stupid, Ronny Chieng details the rise and fall of an alleged scam that anyone with a sane mind could’ve seen coming: former New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s risky and unregulated crypto token, which he compared to Betsy Ross before it crashed spectacularly. “The Copenhagen Test” star Simu Liu sits down with Josh Johnson to discuss his new series on Peacock and his upcoming Broadway debut in “Oh, Mary!” He shares what it’s like to portray Mary’s Teacher on stage, the similarities and differences between acting on film and for a live audience, and his experience in stunt performance, inspired by the greats like Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
