## Resource

Ronny Chieng covers America’s 250th birthday festivities, which included Trump rattling off a list of U.S. inventions and a skydiver crashing to the music of "God Bless the U.S.A." Plus, the president couldn’t help but meddle in the FIFA World Cup, where he personally intervened to challenge a red card against the U.S., accidentally defended birthright citizenship in the process, and got mocked by Belgian players doing his infamous "YMCA" dance. Grace Kuhlenschmidt plugs into the biggest headlines in tech: A robotic dog comes equipped with a flamethrower, a self-scooting robo toilet lets you go while on the go, a new delivery app delivers nothing but dopamine, and "actor" Tilly Norwood lands a feature role in an AI coming-of-age film. Author Ann M. Martin sits down with “The Baby-sitters Club” superfan, Ronny, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her iconic series and the new book, “The Baby-Sitters Club Fan Edition: Baby-Sitter Summer.” Ronny shares how his older sister would read him the books as a kid, and finally asks his most anticipated questions about the series that were left unanswered. They also discuss her secret to getting kids to read, and the “Baby-sitter’s Club” musical in the works with music by KPop Demon Hunters’ Mark Sonnenblick. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit ⁠https://Hims.com/dailyshow⁠ --Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -- Head to ⁠https://Superpower.com⁠ and use code TDS at checkout for $20 off your membership.
