Desi Lydic: 我认为特朗普对乌克兰战争的评论与事实严重不符，他错误地指责乌克兰是战争的始作俑者。他的言论不仅让美国国内的保守派人士感到担忧，也让整个欧洲都感到震惊。欧洲试图通过马克龙来影响特朗普，而马克龙利用其迷人的法国口音试图纠正特朗普的错误言论。特朗普对性感的口音很敏感，这使得马克龙能够相对轻松地与他沟通。然而，特朗普对其他口音，例如印度口音，则显得难以理解。马斯克向200万联邦雇员发送邮件，要求他们列出上周的五项工作成就，否则视为辞职，这一举动引发了联邦雇员的不满。一个AI生成的视频显示特朗普亲吻马斯克的脚，并在住房和城市发展办公室的电视上播放，这一事件也引发了广泛关注。 Michael Kosta: 我认为马斯克处理裁员的方式过于粗暴，他应该采取更加温和的方式，循序渐进地进行裁员，而不是一蹴而就。裁员应该考虑政府各个部门，而不是只关注高层部门。 Wendi McLendon-Covey: 我在《圣丹尼斯医疗》中扮演的角色让我对医护人员更加尊重，这部剧是对医护人员的致敬。医护人员的工作非常辛苦，他们应该得到更多的尊重和理解。

Shownotes Transcript

Desi Lydic tackles Trump's continued defense of Russia to Fox News's dismay and his captivation with Emmanuel Macron's accent, despite the French president's attempts to sway him. She dives into the recent failures of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, including the “DOGE ultimatum” issued to federal workers via email. Plus, as government workers protest, Michael Kosta unpacks the symbolism in an AI-generated video circulating of Trump and, uh, Musk’s toes.

Actor Wendi McLendon-Covey joins Desi Lydic to discuss how her improv background prepared her for a career in comedy and the improvised sitcom pilot they worked on together years ago that led to a misguided boat purchase. McLendon-Covey also talks about the increased appreciation for healthcare workers she’s gained from playing a hospital administrator on the new NBC show “St. Denis Medical,” and the next fake profession she'd like to play.
