Desi Lydic rounds up the latest vomit-inducing news from Trump's cabinet, including Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s shirtless sauna workout/milk-chugging video with Kid Rock, JD Vance's hot ranch crescent roll recipe that apparently food-poisoned Usha into marrying him, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's taxpayer-funded deportation f**k plane. Plus, after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr urged TV networks to air more pro-America content for the country's 250th birthday, Jordan Klepper keeps The Daily Show from getting too critical of the government with some patriotic public domain bangers. As climate change and nuclear war pose existential threats to humanity, space travel offers an increasingly plausible solution, but there's one big piece of the puzzle that still needs solving: space sex. Michael Kosta talks to scientists Simon Dubé and Maria Santaguida about their research on making space sex possible, and tests if he's got what it takes to join the thousand-mile-high club. Padma Lakshmi, Emmy-nominated TV host, Executive Producer, and Creator of the new CBS series “America’s Culinary Kitchen,” sits down with Desi to discuss her return to the reality cooking competition genre. She describes the freedom she had to create this show from the ground up and how each choice was done with the mission of supporting chefs and bringing together the best culinary talent in the world. Lakshmi also expresses how the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants threatens the bedrock of the entire country, especially in the food sector, and roasts JD Vance’s cooking skills (or lack thereof).
