S30·E137 December 3, 2025 - Asi Wind

Josh Johnson tracks Trump's flimsy war on narco-terrorism, from threatening more war-crimey attacks on suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers to pardoning the Honduran ex-president who smuggled enough cocaine to get the whole world high, and Troy Iwata just wants a clear answer: drugs good or drugs bad? Is the AI bubble at risk of popping? Ronny Chieng sits down with Peter Wildeford of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy to investigate the risks of AI taking our jobs and tanking our economy as the "circle jerk" of AI companies goes all-in on robots. "People have a desire to see magic, I'm only there to help them." Award-winning magician and mentalist Asi Wind talks to Josh Johnson about his "More Than Magic" U.S. and Australia tour, the trick that (literally) sparked his passion for the craft, and why he sees magic as a collaboration with his audience. Plus, Wind treats Josh Johnson to a few mind-blowing tricks.
