Summary

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.
