You're listening to Comedy Central.
Desi Lydic
From the.
Ronny Chieng
Most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only source for news. This is the Daily Show. Your host, Desi Lining.
Desi Lydic
Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Desi Lynek. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The government is starting a take your Jesus to work day. Ronny Cheng calls 911 on me. And Donald Trump is in Scotland, I assume to visit the ancestral home of McDonald's. So let's find out more in our ongoing segment. Trump meets world.
Ronny Chieng
International humiliation one after another.
Desi Lydic
As we said, Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut. When a president travels overseas, it's important for them to project strength and dignity. Although an uninvited insect made that a little harder for President Trump. Damn, girl, you got moved. What is this? Is he voguing? Shoo, fly, sashay away. Feels like Trump's accidental dance moves are way more impressive than his intentional ones. Very weird. Anyway, I do understand why he was so frantic. That mosquito was also asking Trump about Jeffrey Epstein. Now, to be clear, Trump was not just wasting time playing golf. He was also wasting time profiting off golf.
Ronny Chieng
The President capping off his trip by officially opening his latest golf course today in Scotland. Let's go.
Michael Kosta
One, two, three.
Desi Lydic
Just a reminder, this man is still the President of the United States. There's a lot going on in the world, and he's at a ribbon cutting ceremony to promote his golf course. Is this his side hustle or is America his side hustle? Who knows? I have no idea. The point is, we're just used to this now. But imagine if when Obama was in office, he kept flying on Air Force One to open up Pizza Hut Taco Bell franchises. I want to announce we killed Bin Laden. And the new chalupa is half price at 3pm Liv Moss, not you, Bin Laden. But don't worry. While Trump was in Scotland, his administration was busy with the hard work of making things weird at home.
Ronny Chieng
Looks like the Trump administration is encouraging federal workers to talk about their religion in the workplace. A memo from the Office of Personnel Management cites the guidance as being protected.
Michael Kosta
By the First Amendment.
Ronny Chieng
Says employees can tell others to rethink.
Desi Lydic
Their beliefs, but they must stop if.
Their co workers tell them to. No. No. Absolutely not. If you're gonna approach me at work and ask, have you heard the good news? It better mean there are donuts in the break room. Otherwise, keep it moving. Zachariah, can you imagine how humiliating it would be to have your fundamental worldview changed by Susan from accounting? And who would have the balls to convert a co? I don't even feel comfortable telling my coworker she should get bangs. She should, though. Stacey, you should get bangs. We need bangs. But Trump's biggest achievement this week was the trade deal he announced with the European Union. And since we all know Trump is so good at deals, it means everything is now going to be cheaper.
The US will impose a 15% tariff on most European products we import. American businesses will pay those tariffs and pass the costs along to consumers by raising prices. It is amazing what individual products we could see impacted here, from autos to Botox, as a result of these tariffs.
Wow. Oh, my God, that's wild. Everything from automobiles to Botox. Am I pronouncing that right? Is that right? I don't know. I'm not there yet. Just not there yet. Don't Google it, but okay. The trade deal is going to make things more expensive. Which makes you wonder, what are we getting out of these tariffs anyway?
Ronny Chieng
We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate. A little rebate for people of a.
Desi Lydic
Certain income level might be Very nice. Okay, now this is the art of the deal. Everyone pays more for everything. And then a few of us maybe get a little bit of our money back. Man, this guy is always playing 5D, hitting yourself in the balls. Keep in mind, Trump also also promised rebate checks from Doge, but all we got out of that was Trump calling Elon Musk a drug addict and Elon saying Trump was a pedophile. You know what? Nevermind. That actually is better than a rebate. So, yeah, yeah, the whole thing is just a mess. And you know who I feel worse for? Those poor penguins who we tariffed who now have to suck for rent money. So sad. For more on the trade deal and its fallout, we go live to the White House with Michael Kosta. Michael, what's the latest?
Ronny Chieng
Desi, this trade deal has a lot of moving parts and words that I don't understand. But you know what I do understand? The healing light of Christ our Savior. And so can you, Desi.
Desi Lydic
No, no, no, no, no. Michael, please, just do your job. Don't promote your religion at work, please.
Ronny Chieng
Well, the Trump administration says I can, so you can kiss my ass. And you can also kiss the ass of our sweet Lord Jesus. Or Jesus, if you're an Espanol. He's inside me, Desi. And he wants to be inside you, too.
Desi Lydic
No, don't make it gross. You know what? You have to stop if I tell you to stop. You have to. And I'm commanding you to stop.
Ronny Chieng
That's true. You have that right. So I'll stop.
Desi Lydic
Thank you.
Ronny Chieng
So, back to the trade deal. Although critics call it an unnecessary tax, Trump is hailing it as a success. And speaking of hailing, hail Satan. Desi, have you let the dark Lord Lucifer into your heart? He's inside me. And he can also be inside you.
Desi Lydic
No, Michael. I told you to stop preaching religion.
Ronny Chieng
And I stopped preaching that religion. This is another religion.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Stop.
Desi Lydic
Stop doing that. Why are you preaching? Jesus and Satan. They can't both be right.
Ronny Chieng
Yeah, but one of them is okay. And it's called hedging your bets. And if you ask God, I think he or she would approve.
Desi Lydic
All right, you know what? I've had enough of this. Forget your report, Michael. I'm going to someone who actually wants to do their job. Let's go to Grace Kuhlenschmidt. Grace, come. No. Goddammit. Let me guess. You want me to join your convent. What? I would never.
I want you to join me in.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
The Nation of Islam.
Desi Lydic
The Nation of Islam. Grace, you joined A black nationalist group.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
First of all, it's Grace X.
Desi Lydic
And second of all, technically, I'm not in, but I feel like I'm on the wait list.
So. Why are you dressed like a nun?
Oh, it's laundry day.
The point is, Brother Desi, black nationalism is inside me.
And it can be inside you, too.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Stop it. Stop it. I command everyone to stop. Get out of here. Grace Coolenschmitt and Michael Costa, everyone. When we come back, Ronnie Chain Hell does something stupid. So don't go away.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. When it comes to the news, some stories are serious, some stories are inspiring, and some stories are just stupid. And for those, we turn to Ronny Chieng in a segment we call everything is stup.
Michael Kosta
911 dispatchers. All day long, they have to deal with people's problems. My house is on fire. I don't know where my daughter is. Shut up. So I understand why 911 might get annoyed by people, but one police department was really stupid with their response.
Ronny Chieng
This granny got quite the shock when her phone rang. It was the cops.
Desi Lydic
It's the police department calling. Do I have your full attention?
Ronny Chieng
Karen Clinton says she imagined the worst.
Desi Lydic
What's wrong? Oh, no, wait. Do I need to sit down?
Ronny Chieng
Then came the jolt out of nowhere.
Desi Lydic
I just want to let you know congratulations. You've won the prize at a contest, and it's called the Booby Prize. You are the dumbest person to call this police department on a repeated basis.
Michael Kosta
Wow. This is how I find out I wasn't nominated for the booby prize. I mean, it is so political. I know this granny is literally a Karen, but that dispatcher was horrifically mean and went way too far. Okay, you see, I'm from a culture where we respect our elders. Not like in America, where you can leave an old person on the side of the road like a soiled mattress. Then someone will eventually pick them up, or a family of raccoons will use them as a house. What I'm saying is this granny doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Okay, I Mean, what are we talking about here? How many times could she have possibly called 911?
Desi Lydic
Dispatcher Loretta Nash continued going into detail. Since 2010, you've made 183 phone calls.
Michael Kosta
Holy shit. 183 calls? Goddamn. Stop hogging the line, lady, all right? Give the other Karens a chance too. I mean, this lady makes me feel less bad that they're trying to cut Social Security. But you know what? Hey, I'm sure she had a good reason to call, okay? Maybe she lives in the TV show the Wire, all right? Just murders every day.
Ronny Chieng
Karen Clinton says she's somewhat of a neighborhood watchdog in her hometown outside Cleveland. And over the years, she has called the non emergency number of the police department a lot over such issues as road construction, safety, car horns blasting at night, drinking and drug use and so on.
Michael Kosta
Okay, you know what? I'm on the dispatcher side now, okay? Really, Granny? You're ratting people out for drinking and doing drugs? It's Cleveland. What else are they supposed to do there? There's only so many times you can visit a Rock and Roll hall of Fame before you're like, hey, should we do heroin? That. That being said, why do the police have a non emergency line at all? You're just asking for a bunch of Karens to call about stupid shit, right? It's like, hey, hello. Hello, police? This is a non emergency line. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw a black guy outside. He's not doing anything wrong, but he's not doing anything right. But you know what? The grandma made a lot of annoying calls. The dispatcher kind of roasted her. You know what? No harm, no foul. Everybody wins.
Desi Lydic
That's when Karen decided to file a formal complaint against Loretta and eventually criminal charges. She came into my home via telecommunications and she terrorized me in my own home.
Michael Kosta
Okay, come on, Granny, you can't come into somebody's home via telecommunications. Okay? What? You're telling me every time this woman gets a text, she's like, how. How did this emoji get my living room at.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
At.
Michael Kosta
At the same time? The police should have expected this. Okay? Do you. Do you think the 911 lady wasn't gonna call 911 on 91 1? She's been waiting for this moment her whole life. But clearly this does not need to go to trial, okay? Just give both of them the death penalty and let them work it out. Let them work it out in hell. And now that there's a job opening, I know the perfect candidate for a 911 dispatcher. In Ohio. Me. 911. What's your emergency? Oh, your cat's stuck in a tree. Okay, follow my instructions very closely. You live in Cleveland, so kill yourself. And that's how you win a booby prize. Back to you, Desi.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a talented writer, comedian, and actor who's currently nominated for an Emmy for her role in FX's Dying for Sex. Please welcome Jenny Slate. Real penetration Patty over here.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Real penetration Patty. Yeah.
Desi Lydic
I just have to say, I am so grateful for this show. Thank you for establishing once and for all that the female orgasm is, in fact, real. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Answered our questions.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah. It can happen.
Desi Lydic
It can. It really can. And it does eventually happen for Molly. Sorry to spoil.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
The show's been out.
Desi Lydic
The show has been out.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
This is true. Yeah.
Desi Lydic
Congratulations on your Emmy nomination. Thank you very much. It is so well deserved. The show is fantastic. You should be so proud of it. It's such a beautiful show. It's based on a true story.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah.
Desi Lydic
It started as a podcast. For those who haven't seen it, describe what Dying for Sex is about.
Sure.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Okay, fine. Yes, I will. But if I was like, no, I don't wanna.
Desi Lydic
You're like, no, thanks.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yes.
Desi Lydic
Dying for Sex is based off a.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Podcast that these two real life best friends, Nikki and Molly, made. While Molly was dying of breast cancer, she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. She left her husband. She asked her best friend to really, like, be her. Be her Companion, be her partner as she went towards the end of her life. But she also took that moment to try to work out some, like, real blocks and limits that were on her because of some, like, childhood sexual trauma that she went through. She really had some huge intimacy issues. She had never had an orgasm with another person. And while that sounds sort of simple, like, the objective is, like, to do it, that, in fact, it really is a story about what intimacy is, what we tell ourselves, about how far our life can go, how far our experience can go. And. Yeah, and it's a beautiful story. I was. I was so pleased to be on a show that is about two women who are soulmates, who are in a friendship and who are together in a way that is like. Is primary, is the most most important.
Desi Lydic
It's such an interesting look at caretaking, too, from such an honest perspective, because Nikki is a person on the surface who, like, kind of doesn't seem to have her stuff together. Nothing is perfectly in place. She can never find anything in her bag. So she's not necessarily the first person you would think of as taking on this duty. But the way that she shows up for her friend, she knows when she needs to laugh, she knows what her needs are, and she listens to her.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah.
Desi Lydic
I think it's so inspiring for caretakers out there in the world to see, because a lot of people are going through this right now. And it's really a beautiful way that your character goes on that journey.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
I'm glad you think so. Yeah, I mean, I guess, like, in becoming a parent and I have a four and a half year old, like, if you are to think that you must be perfect in order to be the central caregiver, then nobody's gonna get anything in this world. Because obviously, we're all trying our best just to, like, keep it together. I know I am. And that doesn't make me less able to, like, watch my daughter as she grows and changes. And I brought some of that in with me because Molly changes as she's trying to open herself up and sort of, like, meet this sexual and personal goal, this liberation. But Nikki, my character, changes as well. And the experience is something for both of them. It's not that Nikki is like a crutch or a prop, and part of caregiving is that flexibility to understand that the situation is generally serious, but so is the situation of being alive. We only get this one. Whether you're at the start of your life or your end, and that there is plenty of room for variety, and that is is part of the care that Nikki gives Molly. And I think she does, you know, eventually get pretty good at the boring stuff.
Desi Lydic
The thing. It's interesting that you say the thing about wanting to live differently. My feeling coming out of the show, and it's easy to feel resistant in watching some of this because it bravely confronts death and grief and loss and trauma. Really hard topics. But I came out of it feeling less afraid of death and looking at death in a different way, like a transition to celebrate. Did this show change the way that you view death, caretaking grief?
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah, completely. I think one thing is that Molly's character, the sexual abuse she went through as a kid, really stopped a big part of her, and that in itself is sort of a death. But she and Nikki are powerful enough in their friendship and their love to, like, truly create, like, to resuscitate something to help her live again. And I exited the show being like, oh, right. I want to make sure that every moment of my life is as alive as possible, that there are very few dead ends, and that every experience that I have, even if it was hard or, like, totally bad, can be repurposed as a resource eventually for, you know, just, like, how to be more alive, how to make progress. And I also stole a lot of the sweatpants that my character wears.
Desi Lydic
As you should. That wardrobe, they were really good.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
They were like, the good ones.
Desi Lydic
Yeah. And I was like, do you think.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
We have reshoots or what's, like, happening with these? Cause they were like.
Desi Lydic
They were good. In the spirit of Molly and Dying for Sex, do you have anything on your bucket list or your list?
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
I don't know how to make a croissant.
Desi Lydic
Oh, well, you know how to pronounce it. Yeah, big time. Honestly. Yeah. Merci beaucoup on that.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah. I would to like to learn how to do that. And I've never been to Japan.
Desi Lydic
Oh.
Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Yeah. And I. You know, I've always wanted to switch to the Diva cup, but I've been doing tampons for a long time.
Desi Lydic
Let me tell you, I am with you on this. I am with you on this. It is a brave expedition, let me tell you. I mean, if I die with a tampon, I up there. What a waste. Oh, God. What a story to tell, though. Here's to the Diva Cup. Here's to the Diva Cup. All episodes of Dying for Sex are streaming now on Hulu Jenny Slay. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back after this.

Episode: Trump Invites Jesus to the Workplace & GOP Prays for a Tariff Rebate | Jenny Slate
Release Date: July 30, 2025
Host: Desi Lydic
Guest: Jenny Slate
Host Desi Lydic kicks off the episode with a lively introduction, highlighting the major topics of the night:
Desi delves into Donald Trump’s recent trip to Scotland, humorously noting his attempts to project strength and dignity amidst unexpected interruptions:
[02:19] Desi Lydic: "Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut."
A memorable moment occurs when an uninvited mosquito disrupts Trump’s demeanor, leading to impromptu dance moves:
[02:19] Desi Lydic: "Damn, girl, you got moved. What is this? Is he voguing?"
The segment continues with Trump inaugurating his latest golf course in Scotland, juxtaposing presidential duties with personal business interests:
[03:48] Michael Kosta: "This man is still the President of the United States. ... Is this his side hustle or is America his side hustle?"
Desi transitions to discussing the Trump administration’s recent memo encouraging federal employees to discuss their religious beliefs at work, emphasizing First Amendment protections:
[04:58] Michael Kosta: "By the First Amendment."
She humorously critiques the potential awkwardness of such initiatives:
[05:05] Desi Lydic: "If you're gonna approach me at work and ask, have you heard the good news? It better mean there are donuts in the break room."
The conversation shifts to Trump’s trade deal with the European Union, highlighting the imposition of 15% tariffs on European imports and the subsequent impact on American consumers:
[05:50] Desi Lydic: "The US will impose a 15% tariff on most European products we import. ... from autos to Botox."
Desi sarcastically questions the benefits of these tariffs, leading to a comedic exchange about rebate checks and unforeseen consequences:
[06:40] Ronny Chieng: "We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate."
During a live report from the White House, Michael Kosta veers off-topic, delivering a confusing rant intertwining religious elements with political commentary. Desi attempts to steer the conversation back:
[08:03] Desi Lydic: "No, no, no, no, no. Michael, please, just do your job. Don't promote your religion at work, please."
The segment ends with chaotic exchanges about religion, culminating in Grace Kuhlenschmidt’s abrupt interruptions and humorous declarations.
Ronny Chieng presents a segment titled “Everything is Stup,” focusing on a granny commonly referred to as a "Karen" who has made an excessive number of 911 calls, disrupting police operations.
The segment highlights Karen Clinton's 183 calls to the non-emergency police line since 2010, covering minor issues like road construction and noise complaints:
[13:40] Ronny Chieng: "Karen Clinton says she's somewhat of a neighborhood watchdog in her hometown outside Cleveland."
Dispatcher Loretta Nash reprimands Karen, offering her the dubious honor of the “Booby Prize” for being the "dumbest person to call this police department on a repeated basis":
[12:14] Desi Lydic: "You've won the prize at a contest, and it's called the Booby Prize."
Michael Kosta empathizes with the frustrations from the dispatcher's perspective while satirizing the futile responses given to Karen’s calls:
[15:12] Michael Kosta: "Okay, come on, Granny, you can't come into somebody's home via telecommunications."
The segment concludes with Ronny humorously suggesting the duo should receive the death penalty, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation.
Desi Lydic welcomes Jenny Slate, a talented writer, comedian, and actor, to discuss her Emmy-nominated show "Dying for Sex."

The conversation delves into themes of intimacy, the complexities of caretaking, and the profound impact of confronting mortality. Jenny emphasizes the authenticity of the characters’ experiences and the transformative power of their bond:
[20:16] Grace Kuhlenschmidt (Jenny Slate): "Whether you're at the start of your life or your end, there is plenty of room for variety, and that is part of the care that Nikki gives Molly."
Jenny shares how portraying Molly's struggles and the deep friendship altered her own perspectives on death and existential fears:
[22:08] Grace Kuhlenschmidt (Jenny Slate): "I exited the show being like, oh, right. I want to make sure that every moment of my life is as alive as possible."
The interview lightens with discussions about wardrobe choices and bucket list aspirations, showcasing Jenny’s humor and relatability:
[24:02] Grace Kuhlenschmidt (Jenny Slate): "I would like to learn how to make a croissant."
