Summary

Desi Lydic recaps Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, where they had an unsurprisingly fruitless discussion about tariffs. Then, after Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out the GOP's lackluster response to the government shutdown and demands the release of the Epstein files, Desi is haunted by the question: Does she (gulp) agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene? Ronny Chieng takes a look at Neo, the new robot maid designed to help with everyday tasks, such as cracking walnuts, loading the dishwasher like a drunk person, and giving a remote human operator a glimpse into your home. Justine Lupe sits down with Desi to discuss her role in the hit Netflix series, "Nobody Wants This." Lupe dives into playing codependent sisters with Kristen Bell, navigating her character’s ambiguous dynamics with Timothy Simons, being adored by her partners on and off screen, and what her girlfriends have taught her about love and strength.
