You're listening to Comedy Central.
1:28
If you're gonna talk about Arizona,
1:30
you have to talk about
1:32
old people, because they are
1:34
everywhere here. See? Which brings
1:36
me to death. No, not
1:39
yours. Obviously, you still have
1:41
a long road ahead of you. And
1:43
here in Arizona, people thinking
1:46
about the afterlife are
1:48
choosing something new. Whole
1:50
body donation. More and more
1:52
people are choosing to forego a
1:54
traditional burial and just donate their
1:56
bodies to science. There was a
1:59
20% increase. in the number of
2:01
people donating their body right here
2:03
in Arizona. That's about 47,000 people.
2:05
To investigate, I hit up a
2:07
popular spot for the old folks
2:09
to see if body donation really
2:12
was all the rage. What do
2:14
you want to happen to your
2:16
body after you die? I'd consider
2:18
whole body donation. Have you considered
2:20
whole body donation? Yes, I have
2:23
it all ready set up. So
2:25
you seem pretty old and close
2:27
to death. What do you want
2:29
to happen to happen to you
2:31
after you die? I'm donating it
2:33
to science. What made you think
2:36
of doing that? I have no
2:38
living relatives. Who's going to bury
2:40
me? Any friends? Uh, yeah, they
2:42
don't care about my body? Well,
2:44
maybe they should care, because when
2:46
I turn on the news, I
2:49
discovered this. Scandal involving a body
2:51
donation business in Phoenix. The owner
2:53
accused of selling bodies and body
2:55
parts. Essentially running a chop shop
2:57
for human body parts. A human
2:59
chop shop? These were people. Not
3:02
cars you stripped down for parts.
3:04
I turned to a team of
3:06
lawyers trying to end this horror.
3:08
So what the fuck is happening
3:10
in Arizona? People are getting people
3:13
to donate their bodies and telling
3:15
them that they're going to treat
3:17
the bodies with dignity and respect.
3:19
And they were sold off like
3:21
you would sell off the parts
3:23
of a cow. And then ultimately
3:26
the FBI raided this organization here
3:28
in Arizona. So what did the
3:30
FBI find? There were coolers and
3:32
freezers of disarticulated body parts. You
3:34
know, a cooler of... arms, a
3:36
cooler of legs. They found heads.
3:39
They found the torso of a
3:41
large human male with the head
3:43
of a small female sewn on
3:45
the... All right, okay, we get
3:47
it. Enough already. Jesus. Anyone here
3:49
have a puppy I can pet
3:52
for 10 seconds just to clear
3:54
my head? And they found a
3:56
giant bag of penises. They found
3:58
a bag of... Yes, it was
4:00
referred to as a large bag
4:03
of male genitalia. So it was
4:05
a large bag of dicks? Yes.
4:07
I'm scared to even ask, but
4:09
what are they going to do
4:11
with this large bag of dicks?
4:13
Well, we really can only speculate.
4:16
We know that some of it
4:18
may have gone to the black
4:20
market in Southeast Asia for something
4:22
like penis wine. Okay. I'm from
4:24
Southeast Asia. I've never heard of
4:26
penis wine. What is it? I
4:29
think it's wine that has a
4:31
penis in it that's supposed to
4:33
make people more virile. That is
4:35
disgusting. I thought so. Is it
4:37
red or white? I mean, you
4:40
can go push them up to
4:42
it. What kind of flavor profile
4:44
is it? Is it nutty? I
4:46
didn't taste it. I have notes
4:48
of foreskin. Can we move on?
4:50
This is a serious case. Oh,
4:53
yeah. That's right, Holly. We're just
4:55
going to mention penis wine and
4:57
not talk about it. This case
4:59
is about... the harm that was
5:01
done to people and families. Not
5:03
about penis one. She's right. People
5:06
thought they were donating their bodies
5:08
for research to find cures for
5:10
diseases, but instead it was real-life
5:12
invasion of the body snatchers. How
5:14
are they going to fix this?
5:16
We need regulations. Licenses, for example.
5:19
You don't need a license to
5:21
deal with dead bodies. Correct. You
5:23
need a license to do nails.
5:25
You need a license to fish.
5:27
To drive a fork to drive
5:30
a forklift. Pay your money, fill
5:32
out a form, and you're a
5:34
medical director. That has to change.
5:36
This is f- horrific. This is
5:38
not just an Arizona problem, it's
5:40
a nationwide problem. And if you
5:43
think it's not happening in your
5:45
backyard, you're mistaken. Okay, sorry, can
5:47
we just go back to the
5:49
penis wine for a second? Do
5:51
they stomp on dicks the way
5:53
they stomp on grapes? Are they
5:56
squeezing out the penis? Are they
5:58
just fermenting out dead body violated?
6:00
or that genitals turn into a
6:02
tasty beverage. If people are going
6:04
to donate, they should at least
6:06
know exactly what they're getting themselves.
6:09
They need to know the truth.
6:11
Until Arizona puts regulations in place,
6:13
all we can do is offer
6:15
competing services. Introducing, give runny-your-body.com. Just
6:17
give me your body, and we'll
6:20
take care of the rest. With
6:22
us, you'll know exactly what you're
6:24
getting. We provide services such as...
6:26
Be turning to a human ventriloquist
6:28
dummy. Be useful at Bernie's sequence.
6:30
Litter body pillow pillow. G if
6:33
you feel like the Oscars. But
6:35
it's also perfectly legal until Arizona
6:37
changes its laws. Give Ronnie your
6:39
body.com. Give me your body. I
6:41
want your body. Ronnie Chang is
6:43
unlicensed and has no experience in
6:46
this field, which is not a
6:48
problem in the state of Arizona.
6:50
So avoid the service altogether and
6:52
do your research or donate to
6:54
medical centers. Here in America, we
6:56
use straws for everything. Drinking, snorting
6:59
cocaine. Okay, just those two things.
7:01
But still, that's not nothing. Yet
7:03
recently, local governments across the nation
7:05
have been challenging our God-given right
7:07
to bear straws. Straws represent only
7:10
0.02% of the 9 million tons
7:12
of plastic waste that is estimated.
7:14
People would like to keep the
7:16
plastic straw, just saying. Conservative Big
7:18
Bird actually has a point here.
7:20
So I headed to Washington DC,
7:23
the latest city to ban straws,
7:25
to meet Lillian, an environmental inspector.
7:27
Her actual job is to going
7:29
to local businesses and make sure
7:31
they're not using plastic. straws. That's
7:33
right, she's a straw cop. So
7:36
what you hope to accomplish by
7:38
banning something that's like 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 1%
7:40
about trash? You know, that's a
7:42
good question. It's a perfect symbol
7:44
for our overuse independence on single
7:47
use plastics, right? So am I
7:49
supposed to do. If I don't
7:51
use straws, what you want me
7:53
to do? You want me to
7:55
do? You want me to do
7:57
this? Lillian explained that over 40%
8:00
of all plastic menu is single-use.
8:02
Throw away items that will take
8:04
somewhere between 450 years and forever
8:06
to disappear. But still, why are
8:08
people suddenly so angry about straws?
8:10
Why do you hate straws? When
8:13
did straws ever do you? I
8:15
think that really started with the
8:17
straw video. The plastic straw getting
8:19
stuck up the Sea Turtles nose.
8:21
It has over 35 million views
8:23
on YouTube. Wait, this is all
8:26
because of a dumb viral video.
8:28
Look, I've seen a lot of
8:30
shit on YouTube. Turns out back
8:32
to this be. Turns out, really
8:34
f- Oh man, it's a freaking
8:37
straw. Okay, okay, I'm done. No
8:39
more straws. But the video did
8:41
leave me with one burning question.
8:43
If I stick a straw of
8:45
my nose, I could get 35
8:47
million views on YouTube. This
12:32
is Lavar Ayrington from Two

26:05
44% of Americans did not vote.
26:07
That put you in 26th position
26:09
among developed countries. That's pathetic. You
26:12
should be ashamed of yourself. That's
26:14
garbage. It's so garbage that in
26:16
2016, Trump got elected voting a
26:18
quarter of eligible voters supporting him.
26:20
That is a broken system. Some
26:23
politics nerds are proposing a solution.
26:25
Jury duty and taxes are mandatory,
26:27
so why not voting. But America
26:29
is the land of the free.
26:31
Where the whole point is to
26:34
do anything you want. Even dress
26:36
up as fat Iron Man in
26:38
Times Square on a Tuesday afternoon.
26:40
So can you really force Americans
26:42
to vote? Do you think in
26:45
America voting should be compulsory? I
26:47
think it should, but it's not
26:49
going to happen because people won't
26:51
even wear masks. If we were
26:53
told to do something, at this
26:56
point, we exactly, we wouldn't do
26:58
it. Do you think America would
27:00
ever accept mandatory voting? Definitely not.
27:02
Because Americans are lazy. in general.
27:04
America is the land of the
27:07
free. People come here because it's
27:09
a free place. And that includes
27:11
the freedom to not participate? Yeah,
27:13
pretty much. Do you think mandatory
27:15
voting can happen in America? No.
27:18
I do not. I think that
27:20
American values are like a toxic
27:22
version of what freedom is. Isn't
27:24
that what makes America great? It's
27:26
not so great at the moment.
27:29
Maybe Americans think it's impossible. But
27:31
mandatory voting does exist in 22
27:33
countries, including one that's even drunker,
27:35
crazier, and whiter than the US.
27:37
I'm talking about Australia, where they've
27:40
had it since 1922. It was
27:42
quite a small step for Australians
27:44
to think, well, we want the
27:46
majority of people to be selecting
27:48
our government, and that gives a
27:50
greater legitimacy. So basically in Australia,
27:53
you force people to exercise their
27:55
democratic rights. That's right. Yes, that's
27:57
right. I don't think people in
27:59
Australia regarded as a particular... big
28:01
deal you've got to turn up
28:04
on election day which is a
28:06
Saturday you know it might take
28:08
you like 15 minutes and the
28:10
Parents and Teachers Association will be
28:12
there selling sausages and that's where
28:15
we get the term democracy sausage.
28:17
Okay, for Americans the term democracy
28:19
sausage has had a bad taste
28:21
since the Clinton administration. But for
28:23
Australians, consuming child intestine meat on
28:26
bread has been a voting tradition
28:28
since the 1940s. But what about
28:30
the people who don't think a
28:32
sausage sizzle is enough incentive to
28:34
vote? What kind of punishment do
28:37
you have to enforce? to make
28:39
it so that over 90% of
28:41
people go and vote. What, jail
28:43
time, public spanking? You have to
28:45
wear, I didn't vote sticker? It's
28:48
a $20 fine. That's it? That's
28:50
a bargain, I think. Look, there's
28:52
big advantages in our system because
28:54
the political parties don't have to
28:56
get the vote out. And that
28:59
means... they don't have to appeal
29:01
to the base. So you don't
29:03
get the same sort of extreme
29:05
ideological appeals. And so it makes
29:07
our democracy, I think, more moderate.
29:10
Doesn't that make your election process
29:12
very boring? Well, I don't know.
29:14
It doesn't make it boring. Look,
29:16
I don't know that that's a
29:18
problem. For me, what democracy means
29:21
is that the majority of people
29:23
participate, and I find the extent
29:25
of voter suppression in the United
29:27
States. Surely shocking. I don't understand
29:29
how the Americans can call themselves
29:32
a democracy at all. Damn, political
29:34
science world star is going to
29:36
love this. But how do everyday
29:38
Australians see it? I took a
29:40
25-hour flight and spent two weeks
29:43
in quarantine just so I could
29:45
talk to them myself in sunny
29:47
Brisbane, Australia. What do you feel
29:49
about the fact that voting is
29:51
compulsory in Australia? I feel very
29:53
proud that it is and for
29:56
people who don't want to vote,
29:58
they should go and live somewhere
30:00
else. Everybody has to decide and
30:02
it's mandatory to vote, so if
30:04
the result... Doesn't go your way,
30:07
you can't complain if we lose,
30:09
oh we're sad, but at least
30:11
we've had a chance to vote.
30:13
And that's it, brother. Done. Did
30:15
you just do it? It takes
30:18
five minutes, you just go in
30:20
there, vote, and get out. No
30:22
time, no everything. Just shut the
30:24
fuck up and vote. What do
30:26
you just shut the fuck up
30:29
and vote? What do you guys
30:31
think about mandatory voting in Australia?
30:33
No, I think it's drunk right
30:35
now? Yeah, we had a few
30:37
big points, a couple shots, a
30:40
couple shots, a couple shots, three
30:42
with Brecky, you know. Man, that
30:44
is fucking Australia. Why do you
30:46
think voting isn't mandatory in America?
30:48
Oh, maybe, I mean... Yeah, now
30:51
I already think, yeah, actually. Maybe
30:53
there's a purpose for it. America,
30:55
Australia, which one's doing better? I
30:57
feel like I'm a witness to
30:59
keep men discovering fire right now.
31:02
Yeah, that's fair enough, actually, yeah.
31:04
Even, yeah. Even, yeah. Even drunk
31:06
Australian, even, even, But for America,
31:08
the good news is that voter
31:10
turnout in 2020 is on track
31:13
to hit record levels. All we
31:15
needed to get people to vote
31:17
was to elect Donald Trump. And
31:19
then guess what? People turn up.
31:21
We don't need to force people
31:24
to vote. Well that's a pretty
31:26
big price to pay. I'd rather
31:28
pay a $20 fine than have
31:30
to put up with President Trump
31:32
for four years. Tush-shah, Judith. But
31:35
hopefully one day Americans will also
31:37
learn to enjoy the sweet sweet
31:39
taste of democracy sausage as much
31:41
as our drunk vote-loving mates down
31:43
under. How
