Guest Host Simu Liu on Insane Trump Portraits, Celebrity Water Scandal & Stunts with Guillermo

Simu Liu steps in as guest host and talks about never meeting Jimmy, a new water scandal rocking Hollywood right now, President Biden announcing a plan that would eliminate up to $20,000 in student loan debt for many Americans, Trump’s political action committee paying $650,000 to commission paintings of the former first couple, a New York dentist and his wife allegedly mocking Juneteenth and doing more racist stuff, and since Guillermo has no martial arts experience whatsoever Simu called up a friend from the Shang-Chi team to teach him a few things.
