  • Trump Delivered on His Campaign Promises, But Only to Himself | Alexandria Stapleton

    Trump Delivered on His Campaign Promises, But Only to Himself | Alexandria Stapleton
    Jan 23 2026
    Josh Johnson gives a progress report on Trump’s first year in office based on his campaign pledges to generate more jobs, make Americans rich, improve healthcare, and protect free speech. Naturally, the only person to benefit from these promises is Trump, who now has everything but a normal-looking hand. Lewis Black takes on Gen Z’s nostalgic penchant for the past and the ridiculous “throwback” fads the younger generation is reviving, including cigarette smoking, “dumb phones” to help them think thoughts, tramp stamps, and the mall. Emmy award-winning documentarian Alexandria Stapleton talks to Josh Johnson about producing and directing the Netflix docuseries, “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” including her shared concern with producing partner Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson not to indict the entire Hip-Hop culture along with the music mogul and how the sense of trepidation among the documentary crew and interview participants has shifted since the release of the series and the arrest of Sean Combs. They also share their personal theories of how Combs, a master of reinvention, might try to rebrand himself upon his release and how Stapleton hopes the series will lead to more conversations that can help push Hip-Hop, society, and justice systems forward.

  • Trump Demands Greenland at Davos & Literally Trashes First-Year “Accomplishments” | Simu Liu

    Trump Demands Greenland at Davos & Literally Trashes First-Year “Accomplishments” | Simu Liu
    Jan 22 2026
    Trump closes out his first year as president (again) with a finger-crushing book of accomplishments while he leans into his goal for Year 2: acquiring Greenland. Josh Johnson tracks how Trump’s mumbling about his need to own “Iceland” in Davos morphed into a vague "concept of a deal" with the president who never hears the word “no.” In another edition of Everything Is Stupid, Ronny Chieng details the rise and fall of an alleged scam that anyone with a sane mind could’ve seen coming: former New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s risky and unregulated crypto token, which he compared to Betsy Ross before it crashed spectacularly. “The Copenhagen Test” star Simu Liu sits down with Josh Johnson to discuss his new series on Peacock and his upcoming Broadway debut in “Oh, Mary!” He shares what it’s like to portray Mary’s Teacher on stage, the similarities and differences between acting on film and for a live audience, and his experience in stunt performance, inspired by the greats like Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

  • Nobel Prize Snub Fuels Trump's Greenland Threats & Macron Pushes Back at Davos | Artis Stevens - Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

    Nobel Prize Snub Fuels Trump's Greenland Threats & Macron Pushes Back at Davos | Artis Stevens - Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
    Jan 21 2026
    After receiving a secondhand Nobel Peace Prize from the real winner, Maria Corina Machado, Trump decides peace is for chumps and doubles down on his plans to take over Greenland, angering both Emmanuel Macron and Emmanuel Macron's eye. Plus, while Josh Johnson thinks the president's plan to extort Greenland out of Europe's hands through tariffs will only hurt Americans, Michael Kosta demonstrates how kicking one's own ass is the ultimate fighting strategy. Trump still wants Greenland and is threatening our European allies if they don’t go along with his plan, but this story has been brewing for a while. As Jordan Klepper’s recent trip to Norway showed us, the president’s anti-peace reputation has long been the talk of the town. President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Artis Stevens, sits down with Josh Johnson to discuss the power of mentorship. They talk about overcoming the barriers of time and perfection by being present, building social infrastructure to change communities, and the correlation between mentorship and educational, financial, and social success.
