Trump Can’t Negotiate for S**t, and the Iran Peace Talks Prove It | Jason Bateman Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Trump claims a peace deal with Iran is coming any second, but he's been saying that for months. Jon Stewart takes a look at Trump's unimpressive track record as a negotiator, despite being the self-proclaimed best negotiator in the world, and pulls back the curtain on the president's "Art of the Deal" as merely the art of trolling. Plus, the Freedom 250 concert is falling apart as more and more headliners pull out, and TDS News Team alum Olivia Munn stops by to offer Jon Stewart a heartfelt tribute that was definitely not meant for Stephen Colbert.

Jason Bateman sits down with Jon to discuss his latest projects, the Netflix series “Black Rabbit” and the HBO series “DTF St. Louis.” Bateman admits he didn’t know what “DTF” stood for until his daughter told him a week into shooting the series. “DTF St. Louis” is what Bateman calls “sneaky funny," and shares how creator & writer Steve Conrad gave the show a voice unlike anything on TV. Plus, the two old friends catch up on life and reflect on aging, fatherhood, and how lonely you become when your children leave for college.

$1.8 Billion Slush Fund Has J6ers Playing Victim & Trump Creeps on Coast Guard Grad | “Weird Al” Yankovic May 22, 2026

Show notes

Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for his allies is here, and the line is already forming: the Proud Boys, the MyPillow guy, George Santos, and even the lectern guy! The Department of Justice insists $1.8 billion is an appropriate amount for the fund, and Ronny Chieng does the math to figure out how much money each eligible American will get. Plus, Trump couldn't stop gawking at hot, muscular men at the Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony, and the president broke the news that he'll probably be a little too busy to attend Don Jr.'s wedding.

American history is complicated, filled with milestones eroded by backlash and triumphs marred by moral failure. But there's still one moment in this nation's 250-year history that brings all of us together: the 1992 Olympic Basketball Dream Team! Boom-shaka-laka!

“Weird Al” Yankovic, Grammy and Emmy-award winning comedy music legend, talks to Ronny before heading out on his “Bigger and Weirder 2026” tour. The two look back on Yankovic’s decades-spanning career, from learning the accordion at his parents behest, to becoming the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with a discography that functions as a time capsule of pop culture. He also discusses his songwriting process for parodies and pastiches of musical style, why he likes to get permission before parodying an artist’s song, the challenges of parodying in 2026, and his personal quest to make polka sexy again.

Thomas Massie in retaliation for spearheading the release of the Epstein files, and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry trying to win over Greenlanders with cookies and friendship. Plus, Jordan Klepper weighs in on former Cuban President Raúl Castro's indictment and America’s obsession with gerontocracy.

Gen Z's "maxxing" trend has gotten way out of hand. As looksmaxxers like Clavicular hype the benefits of smashing your face with a hammer, and self-described nothing-maxxers achieve new levels of doing jack s**t, Lewis Black can't help but wonder: What the f**k is happening?!

Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, actor, and writer Jonnie Park, aka Dumbfoundead, joins Ronny to discuss his new memoir "SPIT: A Life in Battles." They talk about getting his start in battle rapping at 14 years old in Los Angeles, evolving from freestyle battles to prepared matchups, developing a thick skin as the only Asian in the rap battle arena, dabbling in other mediums like acting in“Nemesis” and writing for season 2 of “Beef,” both on Netflix, and chronicling his story through the different family, immigration, and career battles he’s faced.

Show notes

Michael Kosta serves up the latest headlines to help you make fat stacks of stinky cash: Ube-flavored coffee drinks put purple yams in high demand, horse piss contaminates a counterfeit perfume, and an aggrieved billionaire says "tax the rich" is hate speech.

Actor Brendan Fraser sits down with Ronny to discuss his new film “Pressure” and what it really means to take a creative risk. Fraser opens up about why projects that scare him a little are usually the ones that are worth doing and what it took for him to rebuild his career. Fraser and Ronny go into how the film raises uncomfortable questions about human arrogance, the cost of poor leadership, and what happens when ego overrides judgment in the highest stakes. Plus, Fraser teases the possibility of another Mummy movie!

Trump Gushes Over Xi & Jon Helps 2026 Graduates Land a Job the Trump Way May 19, 2026

Show notes

Trump supposedly went to China to get tough on trade, collect rare earth minerals, and maybe solve the Iran War, but instead he spent his trip telling President Xi what a tall, handsome, and strong leader he is. Plus, it's graduation season, and Jon Stewart gives the Class of 2026 the ultimate guide on how to nail that big job interview the Donald Trump way.

Financial Times columnist Soumaya Keynes and Chad P. Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics sit down with Jon to discuss their forthcoming book, "How to Win a Trade War." They talk about Trump’s disregard of the most basic military strategy by starting a trade war on all fronts, how this administration's imposed tariffs revealed U.S. trade vulnerabilities, the debate over whether corporations are the soldiers or mercenaries of trade wars, and how wage insurance could transform job security for domestic workers.
