Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show,
coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls.
What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about
ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as
podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday.
Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.
You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news.
This is the Daily Show with your host
Ronnie King! Welcome to a daily show.
We've got so much to talk about tonight.
Republicans are out for revenge.
Caitlin Cloud is getting bullied and we found an inspiring story about how Elon
Musk introduced a remote tribe to hardcore porn.
Okay, so let's get into the headlines. Let's kick things off with the only presidential candidate with an ankle monitor, Donald
Trump. Last week, the corrupt and woke DEI justice system found him guilty of 34 felonies.
And now he's saying if he gets backs into power, he's going to get his revenge on the people
who had nothing to do with it.
Donald Trump is again suggesting his political opponents could be jailed if he wins re-election,
including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Does that mean the next president does it to them? That's really the question.
Wouldn't it be terrible to throw the president's wife and the former Secretary State into jail? It's very possible that it's going to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have their their their pa? their pa? their peckiia? their peckia peckiol- their peckiiol-a p. their p. their p. their p. their p. their p. the president's wife and the former secretary state into jail. It's very
possible that it's going to have to happen to them. You're going to jail
Hillary Clinton? Haven't you done enough to this woman?
Yo, if you're going to get revenge at least get it on the people who did
the thing to you. This is like the Russian mob killing John Wick's dog and John Wick is like, you know who's going to pay for this?
Hillary Clinton.
I mean, can Donald Trump get some new beefs already?
You don't see Britney Spears still getting to fights with Christina Aguilera, do you?
No. Brittany's at home, dancing with knives like a normal person.
But Trump isn't in this fight alone, okay?
He's got a whole crew of brain-damaged friends standing up for him.
Like Marjorie Taylor Green, who's so mad at what the courts did that she wants to defund New York.
Screw New York.
New York doesn't deserve a damn penny.
We shouldn't fund them one single dime, not a dime.
They don't deserve a penny from the federal government.
Whoa. Take it easy on New York. They don't deserve a penny from the federal government. Wow.
Take it easy on New York.
Marjorie, you remember that space laser that you're worried about?
The people who run it live here, okay?
It's kind of sad to watch a person slam New York when they clearly would make an amazing
New Yorker, okay?
MTG's whole speech is going to be repeated word for word by a homeless guy on
the sea train at 3 a.m. tonight.
But, let's talk about a different Trump ally who's saying unhinged things.
Right now, his name is Byron Donald's.
And if you didn't know him before, well, he's a cool guy with smart opinions. Republican Congressman Byron Donald's, tru VP pick for Donald Trump, is facing backlash from Democrats today
after saying that black families were stronger during Jim Crow before they
were influenced by Democratic policies. During Jim Crow, the back family was
together. During Jim Crow, more black people voted conservatively. Why are all Trump's potential VP picks insane?
I never thought I say this, but this might be a good time to take a second look at the dog murderer.
Okay?
And I know what you're thinking.
How could a congressman think the Jim Crow era was good for black families?
But, to be fair, he's a congressman from Florida, and that's literally the title of the U.S.
history textbooks.
Okay? So let's move on to some cultural news because it's not just congressmen who have
crazy opinions, it's also everyone. And now to a grocery cart controversy gaining a lot of traction online. A video posted by a woman. theologetically says she never returns her shopping cart. I'm not returning my shopping cart and
you can judge me all you want. California mom Leslie Dobson says she's afraid
her children will be abducted while she's busy returning her cart. I'm not getting
my groceries into my car, getting my children into the car and then
leaving them in the car to go return the cart. So if you're gonna give me a a dirty a dirty to to to to to to the dirty to to to to the dirty to to the dirty to to the dirty the dirty to to the dirty the dirty the dirty to the dirty the dirty the dirty to the dirty the d to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their. I return return return return return return their their their their their. their. their. I return. their. I return their. I I return their. I return their. I I I return their. I. I. I. I's. their.

I'm the, and then leaving them in the car to go return the cart. So if you're gonna give me a dirty look, fuck off.
What I mean, fuck off. Fuck you, all right? I, I'd even want your kids, but now I
feel like I gotta take them because they're talking so much shit.
Look, lady, if you want to be lazy and not return your shopping car, you don't have to use
your kids as an excuse, okay?
Just say you don't know what, six feet.
This is America, nobody walks six feet, okay?
If you're really that worried about your kids getting abducted, just take them
with you to return the car or leave them in the car and lock the door. Your kids are safe. If you want to be extra sure, just th, you, just th, just the, just the, just the, just the, just the the to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to be their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thea thea thea toda toda today today today today today today today tooea too the car or leave them in the car and lock the door. Just bit, bip, bip, ba, bip there, your kids are safe.
If you want to be extra sure, just give them bad haircuts, okay?
Nobody wants your weird-looking kids.
And by the way, who are these kids that are so abductable that you can't walk
ten steps without every predator in America descending upon them? If it's the th abduct kids in a parking lot, then what's a big
deal? Okay, if your kids get stolen, just take the ones from the car next door, okay?
Just a problem's all. But let's move on to some international news, okay?
Because there are places deep in the Amazon jungle where primitive tribes are untouched by the modern world. But luckily Elon Elon Musk is taken to the to'c-oom. th. to to the to to to the to the the to be. the the the to be. the the the. the the, the the to be. the the the the to be. the the to bea. the the toe. the the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the o' the o' the o' the one one. the one one. the one one. the one one one one. the one one one. the one one one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. I I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. Ia. Ia. Ia. Ia. I'm. Ia. I'm. Ia. I'm today. I'm today. I'm today. I'm today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tod reclusive tribe in the Amazon finally got connected to the internet, only to wind
up hooked on social media and porn.
Nine months ago, the Marubo tribe got internet service for the first time thanks Elon
Musk's starling service.
But young men have been sharing porn videos on group chats while others have fallen
victim to internet scams.
People hunched over on their phones, typing away, sending voice notes,
watching, you know, video clips. I saw two very young boys just, you know, swiping through
video after video of Neymar Jr. Okay, haters. I think this is great, okay, the internet opens up
all of human knowledge to these people. They go online and they were like, wow, there's so much going on in the world.
Do you see this lady of the shopping car?
She doesn't want to walk six feet, okay?
Let's go get her kids.
By the way, I'm so happy that people
in the middle of the Amazon
get better internet than I get with Spectrum.
But, of course, there's one there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's one there's one there's one. That's right. An untouched Amazon civilization
is now touching itself. For more on this remote tribe getting internet access, we go live
to the Amazon rainforest with Troy Iwada.
All right, Troy. Troy, Troy. Hey, what's the situation over there?
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of all the dengue fever.
Why do you keep sending me to these places? You told me I was going to Amazon.
This is a rainforest. How am I supposed to return this slapchop?
I checked this at the gate, Ronnie.
Okay, Troy, can you just shut up for a second? Okay, how has the internet impacted this remote tribe?
It's an absolute tragedy.
This was once a wonderful people with proud customs and traditions.
Now everyone is glued to their phones.
They're falling for scams.
The men have stopped hunting wild boars and are just hunting milfs and... You can't feed your family with milf meat, okay?
It's too stringy.
So we have to take the internet away.
I mean, can you imagine living in a society
obsessed with their phones like this?
Yeah, that's our society.
So what, you're saying we should take the internet away from ourselves?
Fee-you, Ronnie, I'll kill you.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, it's the dengue.
It's just that I, we, we need the internet, okay?
Where else can I get a slap chop same day?
A store?
No.
It's too late for us, Ronnie. We have no culture left to save.
All we do is trade crypto and use chat GBT to write our birthday cards, you know?
I love you, grandma. How does it do that? As humanity, we need one place untouched by the internet
besides every single god-dam elevator. this tribe is pure and
OG human.
We have to protect them because they'll be the ones repopulating the world when the rest
of us go to nuclear war over some bitch shopping cart.
Okay. Yeah, but there are sudden declines should be a lesson to all of us, right?
That the internet can take something pure and immediately corrupted.
I mean, maybe this tribe is a mirror of our own society and maybe we should all unplug for the good
of humanity. Okay, you first, you give up the internet. Not a fuck you try, I'll kill you. All right,
sorry, sorry, I just hit a million followers on that. Yeah, half of those are, you know. I rest my case my case. We're a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thathea. th. th. th. All, th. All, th.

So I'm going to get the hell out of the Amazon
before we ruin these people too. I just ordered an Uber. It's five weeks away.
There is an Uber pool and it's three minutes away, but like, well, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, wait for the Uber. Troy Wada, everybody.
Hey, when we come back, Jordan Clapper will declare sports war, so don't go away. the weekly show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election.
Earnings calls.
What are they talking about on these earnings calls?
We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches.
I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go,
but how many of them come out on Thursday?
Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome back to our daily show. We've been a lot of sports news recently. So for some
thoughtful nuance debate, we turn to sports war.
Get ready, go back. It's time for sports war. Brought you by gambling. Gambling. Gambling.
God wants you to do.
What's up, morons.
I'm Ronnie Chang.
And I'm Jordan Clepper.
This is Sports War, the show where we are legally not allowed to agree with each other.
For example, if I say Ronnie Chang doesn't suck.
Oh, well, then I have to disagree with you on that, Jordan.
Everybody knows I'm a bad son and a selfish lover.
Yes.
You left out that you're also rude to service workers.
Let's start with the biggest story in sports.
The shove, her, round the world.
This physical moment involving the WNBA's high-profile rookie, raising questions. Unnecessary.
Chicago's Kennedy Carter shoulder-checking the fevers Caitlin Clark, knocking her to the ground.
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Throw the flag, Senator the hang! Come on!
Caitlin Clark is clearly getting bullied. I'm sick of it.
You can't just push people in sports,
unless it's football, hockey, dude basketball,
the Little League World Series,
or being drunk, Dad at the Little League World Series.
Well, I hope one of those dad shoves you into traffic, Jordan,
because you couldn't be more wrong.
As a lifelong WMBA fan, since Caitlin Clark joined league a few weeks ago, I can say with absolute
certainty that that shove was barely a foul.
Hey, WMBA needs to get harder if they want me, they're target demographic to keep watching.
Okay? You hear that WMBA? Just because you don't have a penis doesn't mean you can't
get hard. Just ask Jordan. Are you saying my penis is soft or non-existent?
Whichever hurt your feelings more.
Uh-huh.
Shokes at you, Ronnie, I'm dead inside.
Look, I relate to Caitlin Clark.
A superstar at the top of her game, surrounded by jealous peers.
Caitlin, I see you.
I am you.
And we're not going to let bottom feeders like Ronnie Chang push us around.
Which brings us to tonight's J. Cleps can't lose better the week. What's the source of
Ronnie Chang's crippling inferiority complex?
Brought to you by gambling. Gambling, you can only lose if you stop. Okay, moving on
from the greatest women's basketball player to the greatest men's basketball
player's son.
Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James will remain in the NBA draft.
His agent confirmed his decision today.
James will forego his college eligibility after playing one season with USC.
LeBron and Brony James could be the first father and son do it to play at the same time
in the NBA.
He's projected to be a second round pick primarily because his father is LeBron James.
Yo, Brony should not enter the NBA at all, okay?
There's zero chance he can live up to a legacy of his father.
Go do something else like being a tall dentist or a medium-sized-tallest man.
Quit while you're not ahead.
That's good advice, Ronnie. You should take it.
Of course, Brani should join the NBA.
The children of great people are always great themselves.
Don, Jr. R.F.K.J.
Carl's, Jr. All great men.
The only pressure here is on LeBron.
If his sperm can't produce a 12-time NBA All-Star
who reinvigorates the Space Jam franchise,
LeBron is overrated.
Overrated?
That's just what your mom said to me last night.
So you made love to my mother poorly?
Like I said, Jordan, I'm a selfish lover, which brings us to Ronnie's sland-dung bed of
the night. Who will be a greater disappointment to their father, Ronnie James or Jordan
Clepper? As always brought to you by gambling. Gambling, it's like taking candy from a baby,
but the candy is money. Finally, we turn to the shocking retirement of a sports legend.
Well, he has won the Nathan's hot dog eating contest six times, but Takiru Kowayashi is retiring
from competitive eating. He says he has health concerns now he needs to tend to. He's 46 years
old and says decades of overeating has left him with no appetite or sensation of fullness.
Holy shit!
This guy can't tell when he's hungry or full.
It sounds like his stomach just pulled a Jerry Maguire on him.
Just grabbed the goldfish, said adios to the kidney and walked right out.
Does not sound like it was worth it.
This one is absolutely worth it, okay, Jordan.
He got to eat tons of hot dogs and now he has no appetite.
It's like free o'zempic. Okay. Does. Does. to eat tons of hot dogs and now he has no appetite. It's like Frio Zempik.
Okay? Kobayashi's a legend, not to mention he's Asian.
Shout out Asian.
Asian athletes.
That's right.
I've only gotten to use that like four times in my life.
And shame on you, Jordan for not supporting the work of one of our greatest Asian athletes. Hey, and you are wrong, Ron. I fully support his decision to step away from the game,
which brings us to our double down better than night.
Which Asian that hosts this program will retire next?
Brought to you by gambling.
Have you lost the ability to experience sensation?
Try gambling and see how worse it can get.
Well, we are out of time.
Well, I'm not retired. It's too too too too too too too the next the next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next next the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ti ti the the the ti. ti. ti. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thi. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. tia. tia. tia. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t, I'm not retired. Well, it's too late the fans have spoken Roddy.
Join us next time on sports war.
We'll be debating pickleball.
Better with guns?
No, there thin.
I do.
Are you kidding?
Look.
Did it?
Look.
Did it?
It's a lot of it. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly
Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings
calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about
ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as
podcasts go, but how many of them
come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your
podcast.
Hey, welcome back to your daily show. My guest tonight is an Emmy-nominated writer, actor,
comedian, who is in the new Netflix
documentary, Outstanding, A Comedy Revolution.
Please welcome Joe Kim Booster. First the mandatory Asians on TV in moment.
Alright, okay, let's get into it. Yeah, thanks for coming to a show man.
Thanks for having me, man. Dude, I've known you, you know, because you were in New York before I got here.
And we were both comics run around New York, but we were never like
I feel like we never really we were orbiting, but we never like smash
Yeah, yeah, and and technically still haven't
But yeah, but yeah, but you were in New York before me right? Yeah, yeah, I mean, I thrown. they tour Yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but you were in New York before me right. Yeah, yeah, I thrown. the th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they.

And then I came to this show and realized
you hired a different gay Asian person
to be a correspondent.
Who the fuck is Troy and Wada?
OK?
Well, someone younger and pretty than me.
That, believe it to be.
That, uh, believe it learning, I'm learning. I'm learning. No, it was, I remember meeting you in San Francisco too when you did my show.
And you, um, I was so intimidated because you have this like, rotted personality.
Um, and you ended up being the nicest person on the set, and you were always so welcoming
and like, the stuff I was talking about in that clip, you gave me like actual good advice which you were like be funny. So wait I told you that yeah yeah yeah.
That's so condescending from yesterday I mean you said it you said it pre the set
and then you were if you said it after the set it would have been insulting but
yeah oh what was the context of that I don't know we were just shooting the shit about
and then right well I mean this documentary well that's the thing you know comics we love talk about the the the the the the the the the c the c. the c. the c. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I the the th. I th. I th. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

Well, I mean, this documentary, well, that's the thing, you know, comics, we love talking
about comedy.
We talk about all day.
And in this documentary Outstanding on Netflix, it's kind of like a who's who of American,
not even only American, but gay, gay, gay, comic.
And I will say I am like such a small part of that tapestry. The documentary is so cool because it really shows you like people who's name,
who should be household names, who were actually trailblazing and breaking down barriers and
stuff like that, so I could go out on stage and talk about Dixing and stuff like that,
without losing my career, you know?
In fact, I've made pretty lucrative.
Yeah, so it's, it's cool meeting cool meeting your heroes, I guess, when you are.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I was, we, part of the documentary is we did a huge show at the Hollywood Bowl.
There were like 30 comics of like truly every generation there.
And it's great because I think, like, especially when I was coming up,
there would always be like, one queer comic on the the the the the would be like that's that's too much as it is and so we rarely got to like
hang out on the same show and so it was really nice it was like a nice little
like homecoming to just all be together on the to' sa'e'n'lwe the show
it's great yeah it was something oh yeah it's cool it was cool it was cool it's cool That's kind of how I feel whenever I see you on the lineup.
And if I'm on the show as well, I'm always like, oh yeah, it's Joel.
It's always like we don't need to explain there's a shorthand.
And just for a record, I mean, the comics who are in that documentary, who are on that show.
So the documentary is about this big show they did at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. And some of those comics comics thics thics thics th comics thics thics thics thics thics thics th comics thics thics tho comics tho comics thi comics thi comics thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho thi that's thi thi that we don't that we don't that we don't that we don't that we don't that we don't that we don't that we don't that we that we don't that we that that we that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th.

I mean, we could go on all night. Oh, Margaret Cho.
The OG, Margaret Cho.
The OG, Margaret Cho, who talk about Trailblazer,
like, she is the reason I do what I do now today,
like bar none.
Like, she was the, I said in the clip,
like, I wanted to to do that. Yeah. And so, yeah, she really is the person who opened the door for me.
Yeah, I feel like comics, we always like,
like to tip of the cap to the, I don't know,
we just always like heritage.
Yeah, like our comedy heroes.
Like we almost, I don't know about you, but I almost feel more beholden to them than audience in some ways. Like I just want to, you know? Right, no, it's so funny, like I could be crushing in a room,
but like I'm paying attention to the people standing
at the back of the room who I'm like,
oh my God, Ronnie's seeing this joke 5, thousand times.
Like, always funny.
No, always funny.
And this is not. No, you are. No, no, no, you really are for a lot of us. You are. I mean this sincerely, you made me sound like a piece of shit when you
said I gave you advice? That doesn't sound like, guys, I'm not going on to people's show
and going like, hey, here's some advice from this comedy, genius. It wasn't so much, it wasn't so much advice. I think I was probably complaining and being like I'm, I'm to to to to to to the the to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm, th. I'm, I'm, I'm thi. I'm thi. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm, I mean, I'm, I'm, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean. I think I was probably complaining and being like, oh, I'm always getting told what to say
and what not to say.
And I think for you, your reaction to that as a comic was just like,
it doesn't matter, like the subject matter.
It doesn't matter, you know, if you're gay, straight,
by whatever it is.
As the end of the closest thing to a meritocracy in our industry. Yeah, I think so. With all the politics and everything of people
saying like oh I only got here because I'm a diversity hire whatever. When I'm
out on stage, that's my whole career. Yeah, no, but when we're out on stage and
people are either laughing or they're not laughing. You can't you don't laugh because of woke, okay, that's not how it works. thr I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thee. I the. I the. I thi. I th. I th. I th. I th. I only only only only only only th. I only only only only th. I only th's not how it works. Like, it's just like no matter how progressive you want to seem, if the joke isn't funny, then you're not laughing.
And that's why, like, stand up feels so good.
Because I'm like, nobody can tell me shit because these people are laughing.
Yeah, yes.
And so, yeah, I agree. Totally agree. And for all its flaws, and I totally, and for all all, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand... the the the the the the the the the the th.. th. th. th. th. th. Stand, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. Stand. th. Stand. th. th. th. th.

I mean I quote you in a recent Esquire article, oh no sorry Hollywood
reporter article, I read all your press. I do so I read all your press. You said
like the mission can't come first. It has to be comedy first. Yeah, absolutely.
And sometimes it's hard to explain that to people and so that's why what did you find it difficult in this documentary to talk? to... to to to to to to to to to to to the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I read the, I'm, I'm, I'm, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I they, I they, I they, I the, I I the, I I I I I I I I the, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I their, I their, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, I read, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the when you're in a dock and you're sitting behind the camera and you're
being interviewed like that, it's not comedy.
But like I think the biggest peep and the thing is is like people of all political stripes
of across the political spectrum do this.
When a stand-up show turns into a TED Talk, I'm out. You know, like I do, like where are the jokes? You thak. You're, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and sometimes you get it, but it's, it's, applause is not laughter.
You know, so you can't be mission first, you always have to be thinking at the end of the
day, is it funny?
Yes.
Yes, I think that's, I think that's also how I feel so much kinship with you, not just the Asians on whatever, but like as comedians, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th, the, th, the, th, the, the, th, the, the, th, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thousand, thousand, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th... is, that, the, the, the, the, applause, the, the, applause, the, applause is, the, the, the, applause is, that, that, and, and, the, thousand, and, the, is, is, applause is, is, is not, is, is not, is not, is not, is not, is not, kinship with you, not just the Asians on whatever,
but like as comedians, you know?
Because sometimes we're both out there
and we're both trying to make it happen in weird bars
and like in New York City.
And oftentimes, you know, I never really played this card a lot,
but oftentimes on a lineup and there's no other Asians on that line up. You know, it doesn't doesn't you you you you you just th isn't th isn't th isn't th isn't th isn't th isn't thian it doesn't that that that that that that that that's that, you're that, you're that, you're both that, you're both that, you're both that, you're both that, you're both tho tho tho the the the the the the the thi. And we're both thi. And we're both that. And we're both that. And we're both that. And we're both that. And we're both th. And we're both th. And we're both that, we're both that, we're both that, we're both that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thatea. thatea. thea. thea I think there's this weird assumption that because we tick some of the same demographic
check boxes that all of our material will be the same.
But it's like, you and I will never talk about the same.
It's like, we cannot be more different.
We cannot be more different.
Yeah, we's just different, just totally different. But anyway, Joe, hey, you're my brother in many ways and one.
Thank you for being so cool.
Me when I first came to America, you're killing it right now.
I love everything you do.
Everything you do, I always watch it.
And you're the best.
Joe Kimbus,. We'll go to a quick break and we'll be right back after this.
