Episode description as stored

Ronny Chieng plunges into America's evolving war with Iran, how global fuel shortages are making Thai news anchors sweaty, whether Iran's AI video of Jesus casting Trump into hell falls under Hegseth’s “patriotic” label, and how all this chaos is somehow improving the U.S. stock market. Plus, Iran’s stream of “slopaganda” is inspiring Michael Kosta to do his part in the emerging meme war. Grace Kuhlenschmidt breaks down the hottest tech news, including the rise of "tech neck" from chronic phone use, marathon runners racing against robots in China, and an AI avatar that could finally give the world a lifelike Mark Zuckerberg, in the latest edition of Tech Yeah! From a PowerPoint pitch to a hit series, writer and director Lee Sung Jin joins Ronny and breaks down how the new season of his award-winning Netflix series ”Beef” came together through honest collaboration and real-life inspirations. Jin explores generational divides and relates them to why this season takes place at a country club. Plus, he tells the story of returning to Korea after 20 years to film parts of Season 2 with legendary actors Youn Yuh-jung and Song Kang-ho, and getting a surprise set visit from “Parasite” director Bong Joon-ho.
