This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.

Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between-songs banter.
Unknown 0:23
Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.
Saagar Enjeti 0:28
Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Diana Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be?, I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to fupas to scheduling sex. Wait, what sex?
Unknown 0:50
Is it just me, or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? Ha ha ha!

American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. I'm Tab Ramos. I'm Tom Boak. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines, the biggest decisions, and the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals.

Krystal Ball 2:22
Indeed we do. We've got breaking news this morning on Trump's big trip to China. We've got statements from both him and President Xi, the competing readouts, what we can read into what, if anything, is coming out of this meeting. We're also going to take a look at what it all means for the war in Iran, which obviously very significant topic there as well. Another key inflation rating came in very hot as signs of trouble in the economy continue to mount. American test scores of American children at the third grade level have significantly fallen over the past decade. Very troubling trend. We'll take a look at what is going on there. Maha is in shambles after Trump makes a corrupt deal with Big Tobacco that I'm kind of low key on the side of Big Tobacco on this one.
Saagar Enjeti 3:06
I think we're all on the tobacco side.
Krystal Ball 3:08
We'll explain.
Saagar Enjeti 3:08
For this one.
Krystal Ball 3:09
Yeah, and it was very corrupt and disgusting, the way it was done.
Saagar Enjeti 3:13
It was a good outcome, bad way that it went down, but it is revealed. What you were saying about Maha is the most important thing, is Maha has just taken L after L. Yeah, completely.
Krystal Ball 3:22
Completely irrelevant at this point. And we've got a great guest on to talk about AI, who was a former aide to AOC and has really made developing some sort of a new AI consensus a major part of his thinking. And we're going to get him to react to this clip of Tucker Carlson versus Kevin O'Leary on data centers that you guys are going to really enjoy. At least I really enjoyed it.
Saagar Enjeti 3:41
