April 16, 2026 - Lee Sung Jin

16th April 2026 37 mins Season 31 Episode 46

Ronny Chieng dives into America’s escalating clash with Iran, from global fuel shortages that leave Thai news anchors visibly sweating to Iran’s AI generated video of Jesus condemning Trump—and whether it qualifies as “patriotic” by Pete Hegseth’s standards. Somehow, the chaos is also buoying the American stock market. Iran’s surge of online “slopaganda” even inspires Michael Kosta to join the meme war. Grace Kuhlenschmidt rounds up the latest tech absurdities in Tech Yeah!, covering “tech neck”, marathon runners racing robots in China, and an AI avatar that might finally make Mark Zuckerberg seem lifelike. Writer director Lee Sung Jin joins Ronny to unpack how "Beef" evolved from a PowerPoint pitch into an award winning Netflix hit, exploring its real life inspirations, generational tensions, and a return to Korea to film with legends Youn Yuh jung and Song Kang ho—complete with a surprise visit from Parasite director Bong Joon ho.

April 20, 2026 - Annalena Baerbock

Jon Stewart unpacks Trump’s Iran “Art of the Deal”, tracing threats, consequences, and concessions that add up to winning nothing. Republicans hail a self-declared victory as “a brilliant day for the world”, while Trump signs a bill to fast-track the psychedelic ibogaine, boasting, “You think Biden could do that?”. Stewart also sits down with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock, who breaks down the growing challenges facing the United Nations — from tensions in the Strait of Hormuz to the limits of the Security Council veto — arguing diplomacy is both harder and more necessary than ever. She also discusses selecting the next UN Secretary-General, and whether member states will finally choose a woman to lead the body in its 80-year history.
