Trump Sells UFC Coins as Iran Strikes & Melania Pushes AI in a Speech Worthy of AI | Nina Dobrev
6/11/202632 min
Melania ushers in the age of AI while sounding like a robot, tensions rise again in Iran as the U.S. and Tehran trade blows, and Desi Lydic wonders when Trump will stop futzing with UFC coins and end the war. Plus, Jordan Klepper gets on the Trump administration’s commemorative coin train to fix inflation, stop wars, and celebrate America’s 250th. Troy Iwata takes a break from America's problems by taking aim at OTHER countries' problems, like the steady sinking of Mexico City, France's drunken deer hazard, Hong Kong's claw machine addiction crisis, and the rise of bread made from mummy yeast, in another round of "So Not Our Problem!" Actor and producer Nina Dobrev sits down with Desi to discuss starring in the crime thriller, “The Get Out.” They talk about the joy of playing a buttoned-up bank teller who’s totally unhinged, awkward make-out scenes with her co-star and longtime friend Aaron Paul, and channeling her wild side swimming with sharks, skydiving, and dirt biking. She also discusses the short film she stars in and produces, “General Admission,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, her production company’s mission to tell stories “for women, by women,” and her advice for women advocating for equal pay in the workplace.

[gentle music] Getting to a great idea is hard in college. Nonsensical essays, cringe-inducing presentations, and seemingly unsolvable problem sets. But then, a first thought becomes a final thesis. Jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote. And that midterm assignment gets a lot less mid. Because the road to great ideas is littered with bad ones. You just have to keep going until something clicks. Great ideas start on Mac. Find out more on apple.com/college.
