Desi Lydic dives into the major cuts airlines are making to compensate for rising fuel prices, from beverage services on Delta Airlines to all services on the now-defunct Spirit Airlines. And while President Trump boasted his ability to tell the difference between an alligator and a squirrel on his cognitive test, his rant about rigged elections and nuclear war before an audience of children proves he can't tell the difference between minors and adults.
Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta face off in another round of Sports War: Horse trainer Cherie DeVaux clops through the gender barrier at the Kentucky Derby, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel takes heat for his alleged affair with NFL reporter Dianna Russini, and NBA Playoff tickets for the 76ers vs. the Knicks are restricted to fans in Philly.
Award-winning writer, actor, and co-creator of the HBO Max comedy series “Hacks,” Paul W. Downs joins Desi to discuss the hit show’s fifth and final season. They get into the magic behind the dynamic duo of Jimmy and Kayla, and Downs reveals who inspired Deborah’s late-night host storyline in the show’s fourth season: Joan Rivers, Debbie Reynolds, and maybe even Desi Lydic. He also discusses his concerns about AI, why it was important to cover the topic in the show, and the pressure of delivering a finale that satisfies both fans and creators.
