Trump Invites Jesus to the Workplace & GOP Prays for a Tariff Rebate | Jenny Slate
Desi Lydic covers Trump opening a new golf course in Scotland before tending to his side hustle of president of the United States to strike a new trade deal with the E.U., which will finally bring product prices to... another all-time high? Plus, Michael Kosta and Grace Kuhlenschmidt take advantage of the government's latest workplace policy: Take Your God to Work Day.
Ever wonder what happens when 911 calls YOU? In this edition of “Everything Is Stupid,” Ronny Chieng roasts the 911 dispatcher who messed with a real-life Karen by awarding her a Booby Prize for incessant calling, and suffered the consequences.
Actor Jenny Slate joins Desi Lydic to discuss her Emmy-nominated role in “Dying for Sex.” They talk about the show’s powerful story, based on a podcast about a woman going through Stage 4 breast cancer (portrayed by Michelle Williams), and her experiences playing the woman’s best friend, Nikki. She shares what it was like working with an “icon” like Williams, why telling a story about female friendship was so meaningful, and how the story changed the way she views both death and caretaking.
