Season 30 Episode 109: October 1, 2025 - Benny Safdie

With a government shutdown fully in effect, Ronny Chieng takes a look at Trump's confusingly racist AI videos of Democratic leaders and braces for how the shutdown will impact everything from the TSA to national parks. Plus, Josh Johnson reports live from the Grand Canyon, which is already turning into a literal shithole. Michael Kosta has the hottest moolah-making tips for how to capitalize on recent economic headlines, like adults ordering from the kids' menu, the tooth fairy short-changing kids, and a recall on exploding Prosecco bottles from Costco, in the latest installment of "Ko$ta Doing Business". Writer and director Benny Safdie talks to Ronny Chieng about the inspiration and creative process behind his new film, "The Smashing Machine", which is based on the life of MMA fighter Mark Kerr.
