1:30
You're listening
1:33
to Comedy
1:35
Central. My
2:00
name is John Stewart.
2:02
We got us a
2:04
show for you tonight.
2:06
The great comedian Rami
2:09
Yusuf will be joining
2:11
me a little bit
2:13
later. And then afterwards,
2:15
we will head to
2:17
space on Blue Origin,
2:20
where I will sing
2:22
something delightful from the
2:24
Katie Perry Oovera. But
2:26
first quick update. As
2:29
you know, we've been
2:31
following the case of
2:33
Kilmar Abrago Garcia. undocumented
2:35
migrant from El Salvador,
2:37
married an American woman,
2:40
has a kid living
2:42
the American dream. Until
2:44
the Trump administration sent
2:46
him to an El
2:48
Salvadorian mega prison by,
2:51
and I'm quoting the
2:53
Justice Department here, if
2:55
I may, is an
2:57
administrative error. If only
3:00
there was a convenient
3:02
and timely way that
3:04
the prisoner could be
3:06
brought back to the
3:08
United States, that wouldn't
3:11
really inconvenience either nation.
3:13
President Buchelli at the
3:15
moment flying from El
3:17
Salvador to Washington DC.
3:19
What? have to give
3:22
Garcia the middle seat. I'm sure Garcia
3:24
would just grab the wing and Tom
3:26
cruise it over here if he had
3:28
to. But sadly, McCally arrived at the
3:30
White House with just the Miami club
3:33
promoter clothes on his back and a
3:35
pocket full of excuses. Can President Buchaley
3:37
weigh in on this? Do you plan
3:39
to return him? How can I, this
3:41
model of terroristic today in the United
3:44
States? I don't have the power to
3:46
return him to the United States. Can
3:53
I honestly tell you like this
3:55
isn't even really... The thing that's...
3:57
Like they're fucking enjoying this. Like
3:59
the... Two of them, our president,
4:02
their president, well, good, I guess
4:04
we'll just have to let him
4:06
rot in a f-hmm prison, even
4:09
though he didn't deserve to be
4:11
there. I don't, you guys don't
4:13
care about this guy, I'm talking
4:15
about these two, but somebody else
4:18
cares about this person. And you
4:20
just randomly with no evidence that
4:22
you'll show anybody, called him a
4:25
terrorist. And one of the weirder
4:27
parts about this is the thing,
4:29
the only thing that seems to
4:32
upset Trump about the entire situation,
4:34
about it. You said that if
4:36
the Supreme Court said someone needed
4:38
to be returned, that you would
4:41
abide by that. You said that
4:43
on Air Force One just a
4:45
few days ago. And they said
4:48
that it must be facilitated. Why
4:50
don't you just say, isn't it
4:52
wonderful that we're keeping criminals out
4:54
of our country? Why can't you
4:57
just say that? Why do you
4:59
go over and over? And that's
5:01
why nobody watches you anymore. time
5:04
a lame stream media journalist gets
5:06
shunned and Ask Kissy One gets
5:08
its wings. Do you have a
5:11
question? Please. Thank you so much.
5:13
Can you score another major investment
5:15
win this morning when India pledged
5:17
to build its AI supercomputer? The
5:20
first time ever right here in
5:22
the United States. That's a question
5:24
I like. That's true. Yeah, that's
5:27
not a question. But
5:29
rest of these, the Americans,
5:31
if there's one thing we
5:33
all know, it's that first
5:35
they come for the undocumented
5:37
migrants. And as long as
5:39
nobody speaks out, they stop.
5:41
You mentioned that you're open
5:43
to deporting individuals that aren't
5:45
foreign aliens, brought criminals to
5:47
El Salvador? Does that include
5:49
potentially US citizens, fully naturalizing?
5:51
If it's a home-grown criminal,
5:53
I have no problem. I'm
5:55
talking about really bad people.
5:57
He's going to do that
5:59
to US citizens. I think
6:01
the hosts of the view
6:03
are about to get administratively
6:05
erred. I gotta tell you,
6:07
I did not think he
6:09
would get this authoritarian this fast.
6:11
I really didn't. I'm sorry. Who
6:14
could have known? Maybe if somebody
6:16
out there had yelled at me
6:18
on Blue Sky about this, I
6:20
would have known. But no one
6:22
did. Except every day. In all
6:25
caps. So I guess the question
6:27
is, how authoritarian is we?
6:46
I don't accept your pity
6:49
applause. Now luckily for
6:51
us, the world is full
6:53
of authoritarian leaders that we
6:56
can measure Trump against. Your
6:58
putons, your geez, your and
7:00
a wind torch. So, so
7:02
if Trump can put up
7:05
a monster authoritarian score, you
7:07
know what, let's do this Dave
7:09
Portnor, Salah. One clip, everybody knows
7:11
the rules, by the way. the
7:13
greatest pizza reviews in the history
7:15
of pizza. If you guys like
7:17
pizza, for me, it's like watching
7:19
porn. We already know. Trump's done
7:21
a lot of the standard fair.
7:23
He's attacked the free press, pulled
7:25
random people off the streets, made
7:27
law firms in universities, bent the
7:30
knee, announced Department of Justice investigations
7:32
into an individual whose sole crime
7:34
was suggesting that the 2020 election
7:36
had been safe and well administered.
7:38
You know, the bad, bad people. But
7:40
authoritarianism isn't just policies. It's
7:42
an aesthetic. the opulence of
7:45
medieval kings, the excesses of
7:47
Middle Eastern autocrats. It's a
7:49
Pinterest vibe that speaks to the
7:51
power of one's position, the riches
7:53
that are the privilege of the
7:55
office. Does Trump measure up? Does he
7:57
have the lack of available walls?
7:59
You have the mantle
8:02
and you have the
8:04
cherubs. Is that from
8:06
Marlaga? Yeah, that's actually
8:09
their gold, all gold.
8:11
Look, and you know,
8:14
it's angels. They're angels.
8:16
They visited me in
8:18
the night and asked me
8:20
to change my ways. So I
8:22
held them down and dipped
8:25
them in gold. I
8:29
drowned them in gold, liquid
8:32
gold. Have you ever heard
8:34
an angel scream? It is
8:36
just... It is erotic. By
8:39
the way, if any of you
8:41
are wondering if the
8:43
cherubs that are now in
8:45
the Oval Office are real
8:47
gold, and I know many
8:50
of you are wondering that.
8:52
It is real gold. And
8:54
there's a very good reason
8:57
for that. Throughout the
8:59
years people have tried to
9:01
come up with a gold
9:03
paint that would look like
9:05
gold and they've never been
9:07
able to do it You've
9:09
never been able to look
9:11
you've never been able to
9:13
match gold with gold paint.
9:15
That's why it's gold That's
9:18
why it's gold That dude
9:20
is so blue collar going
9:23
down at the factory with the boys,
9:25
why can't they make a gold paint
9:27
that looks like gold that's not illegal?
9:29
I don't mind them canceling pediatric cancer
9:32
research, but I hope by the end
9:34
of the term, we can come up
9:36
with a good gold paint substitute because...
9:38
But you know, rooms filled with real
9:40
gold cherubs are nothing. If those rooms
9:42
aren't also filled with the echoes of
9:45
the most embarrassingly, sycophantic
9:47
hosanas. One clip, everybody
9:49
knows the rules. Thank you for your leadership
9:51
and thank you for everything you're doing. I
9:53
want to thank you for standing up to
9:55
the Chinese Communist Party. I want to think
9:57
as well for the shipbuilding. Your vision is a...
10:00
turning point in an inflection point
10:02
in American history. Your leadership at
10:04
the border is absolutely remarkable.
10:07
What you're doing now, I
10:09
think, is a great service to our country,
10:11
but ultimately to the world. You are overwhelmingly
10:14
elected by the biggest majority. You know
10:16
what? I swear to God. Guys, what
10:18
does she know? She's the attorney general.
10:20
She doesn't have the fucking. When
10:22
I watch those cabinet meetings, I
10:24
actually think, are they making fun
10:27
of him? It's so over the
10:29
time, Mr. President, oh, thank you
10:31
so much, your dick is so
10:34
big. So, your dick is
10:36
so big, we can barely
10:38
lift it because it's covered
10:41
in real gold, not the
10:43
paint, real gold. But you
10:45
know, any... run-of-the-mill
10:52
authoritarian can
10:54
get the
10:56
praises from
10:59
those that fear him.
11:01
The OGs, the real
11:03
autocrats, extract
11:06
something much,
11:08
much weirder and
11:11
humiliating. The
11:13
forced, uncomfortable
11:16
laughter. But
11:20
still That's on the
11:22
North Korean website funny
11:24
or you die And as
11:27
America's dear leader Donald
11:29
Trump also has a
11:31
tight five We're pulling
11:34
all that out and
11:37
putting the money toward
11:39
the infrastructure not the
11:42
the social movement from
11:45
the last administration Green
11:47
paper
11:50
mache
12:00
That made no fucking sense, right? Right,
12:03
right, yeah. Nothing, right? Did that make
12:05
any sense to me? Did that make
12:07
any sense to me? Are you going to laugh
12:09
though, right? Oh, oh, put a hat on. It's
12:11
just so fucking weird. But the key
12:13
to the authoritarian regime is
12:16
the suspension of the normal
12:18
processes by which you understand
12:20
the world. The matter by which
12:22
data and your experiences paint
12:24
a cohesive grounded picture of
12:26
reality, the calling card of
12:28
an authoritarian regime, is that
12:30
you must suspend that reality,
12:32
that rationality. And then you test people
12:35
by pushing the limits of that
12:37
absurdity. The White House released the
12:39
results of President Trump's
12:41
physical exam. His doctors
12:44
say President Trump exhibits
12:46
excellent physical health. The report says
12:48
he's six foot three, 224 pounds.
12:58
No. I'm going to say
13:00
no to either of those
13:03
numbers. I don't want
13:05
to be that guy,
13:07
but he has a
13:09
front butt. I mean,
13:12
we all get there.
13:14
It's fine. You can
13:16
have it. But what's
13:18
what? He is forged
13:20
by Hepestus. No. And by
13:22
the way, that medical exam
13:25
did not only confirm that
13:27
Trump is physically perfect, his
13:29
brain is also totally jacked. I
13:31
took a cognitive test, and I don't
13:34
know. One to tell you one and then
13:36
I got every answer, right? Can you tell
13:38
us about the talking of test? Is that
13:40
bad? You need a person, camera, TV. It's
13:43
a, uh... I think it's a pretty well-known
13:45
test. Whatever it is, I got everyone, I
13:47
got it all right. I
13:51
think we all know what cognitive
13:53
tests we're talking about. But I
13:56
would like to know, do you
13:58
know what cognitive tests? I took
14:00
a cognitive test about my
14:03
memory. What was it? He's
14:05
testing. Trump is such
14:07
a medical marvel. What's
14:09
the secret to his
14:12
good health and youthful
14:14
appearance? Sense of humor
14:16
decreases stress that he
14:18
has. Everyone that knows
14:21
the president knows how
14:23
funny he is. That decreases
14:25
stress. Keeps you young looking.
14:28
Is that what I hear?
14:30
you say? May I, if
14:32
I may, just for Shnicks,
14:34
offer the counter argument? Do
14:36
I look less stress? No, don't
14:38
look, I'm hideous. But you
14:40
know what? He's got a good
14:43
sense of humor and he's
14:45
in pretty good shape. May
14:47
work for your run-of-the-mill
14:50
authoritarians, your
14:52
Lukashenko's, your
14:54
Maduro's. Surely Trump
14:56
is above that C-tier. Donald
14:59
Trump is a genius. Very
15:01
different in the best possible
15:03
way. The president has an
15:06
athlete's mindset. Accessible. Free-wheeling. Refreshing.
15:08
It is like Christmas every
15:10
day with President Trump. He's
15:12
like that Marvel superhero. A
15:15
mythic figure almost like the
15:17
various Scandinavian Bayou Wolfs. I'm
15:28
obviously not a scholar in Viking
15:30
lore. I don't remember there being
15:33
Bea wolves. One Bea, wouldn't it
15:35
also then be Bea wolves? But
15:37
those are still just reaching for
15:40
superlatives. Is there anyone else who
15:42
wants to place him not on
15:44
Mount Rushmore, but maybe Mount Sinai?
15:47
Can Trump be the biblical Moses?
15:49
No! I'm not the most observant
15:51
Jew. I mean this weekend I
15:53
think I celebrated for him. Isn't
16:00
Moses the biblical Moses? And by
16:02
the way, if you were Moses,
16:04
I do think there were some thou
16:07
shalt knots that he might want to
16:09
take a look at. By the way,
16:11
Moses, 64218, 48-inch article. But you
16:13
know what? Even a superhero or
16:16
a Viking or a mythic
16:18
figure or a biblical prophet
16:20
pales in comparison to the
16:22
genius that we are witnessing.
16:24
He's a Lenski's playing
16:27
checkers and Trump is
16:29
playing chess. Trump's 3D
16:31
chess move. He's actually
16:33
playing 4D chess. President
16:35
Trump's 5D chess.
16:38
That's not a dimension.
16:40
The length with depth,
16:42
depth, 4 is time. There's no
16:44
fucking 5. There's no 5.
16:47
He is a God who
16:49
has created a whole other
16:51
dimension. Through which
16:54
he plays board
16:56
games, let me
16:58
even see how
17:00
do you play
17:02
five-dimensional Trump chess?
17:04
Let me see
17:06
how we do this.
17:08
So here's how he
17:11
would probably do it
17:13
We lose them for DEI,
17:16
okay? You know, for an authoritarian
17:18
that awesome, I guess words are
17:20
not enough. Tributes to a great
17:22
leader must show, not tell. A new
17:24
proposal by House Republicans to
17:26
rename Washington Dulles International Airport
17:28
after Donald Trump. Brendan Carr,
17:30
the FCC chairman, was seeing
17:32
throwing a gold pin of
17:34
Trump's face. A congresswoman introduced
17:36
a bill to add President
17:38
Trump to Mount Rushmore. That
17:40
would make President Trump's birthday
17:42
a national holiday. Put President
17:45
Trump's likeness. on the $100
17:47
bill, a brand new
17:49
$250 bill featuring Donald
17:51
Trump's face. He's gonna
17:53
be on all our money and
17:55
all our fucking mountains? So
17:58
Trump's got it all. authoritarian-wise,
18:01
the looks, the attitude, the relentless
18:04
dissent crushing, all the ingredients to
18:06
be a top-tier authoritarian. All he
18:08
needs now is to bring it home with
18:10
his ruthless competence. Chaos and
18:12
confusion from Wall Street. The
18:14
markets lost more than six and a half
18:17
trillion dollars. They've wiped out 11
18:19
trillion dollars. Turning now to yet
18:21
another plane crash. The worst measles
18:23
outbreak of this century. 100,000 federal
18:25
workers have been fired. The
18:27
Trump administration unfiring some of
18:30
the federal workers. President Trump's
18:32
tariff train escalates the global
18:34
trade war. The president hits pause
18:36
on his global trade war. The
18:39
president made it clear yesterday. This
18:41
is not a negotiation. Exempted smartphones,
18:43
computers, and other devices from his
18:46
new reciprocal tariffs. The president later
18:48
posting, there was no tariff exception
18:50
announced on Friday. So close. So
18:53
frustrating to see someone just on
18:55
the precipice of illiberal leadership. But
18:57
he just can't put it all
18:59
together. Is Trump, or gee? Not yet.
19:02
But there's no question that he's a
19:04
young upstart. It was a lot of
19:06
potential. But if he
19:09
can't bump his
19:11
numbers in the getting-shit-done
19:16
category, he's
19:19
going to hit
19:21
the ceiling pretty
19:23
quick. You know what?
19:26
Let me, let me
19:28
have a word. Great
19:35
Moses. I don't know
19:37
what your advisors have
19:39
told you about the
19:41
authoritarian bargain. The basic
19:43
deal is this. The
19:46
American people look the
19:48
other way while you
19:50
disappear, undesirables, knuckle under
19:53
the elites, ban all
19:55
seven trans athletes from
19:57
our nation's beloved NCD.
20:00
double A fencing tournament. You
20:02
know, all the people that are
20:04
holding us back. And then you
20:06
in turn make shit work. You want
20:08
to ignore the Supreme Court and
20:11
all the other courts and
20:13
take away people's licenses
20:15
to broadcast? Fine. But when
20:17
the planes go up, I'm going
20:19
to go. I'm not on fire.
20:22
You don't even have to have
20:24
them be on time. You can
20:26
take over Greenland, demonize Canada,
20:28
dominate the golfing pro-circuit,
20:31
but in return, our
20:33
children should be somewhat
20:36
safe from most Victorian-era
20:39
diseases. We love our
20:41
children. We love them.
20:43
We love our children,
20:46
especially the Rizzler.
20:54
You want to destroy NPR and PBS,
20:56
the Voice of America, sell the naming
20:58
rights of the Washington Monument, to hymns.com,
21:00
use the R word, the P word,
21:02
make up your own slurs, have the
21:04
United States Naval Academy, remove Maya Angelou
21:06
from its bookshelves, but for some reason
21:08
keep mine comf, which is a real
21:11
fucking thing that they did. We'll be
21:13
fine. We weren't that crazy about this
21:15
system of government in the first place.
21:17
But you keep fucking this up. And some
21:19
of these lawyers and universities and
21:21
universities. And corporate leaders are
21:23
gonna start. to think about,
21:26
about, suggesting respectfully to each
21:28
other in a very tightly
21:30
controlled text chat, that someone
21:33
should reach out to someone
21:35
who knows someone in
21:37
your administration to express
21:39
mild dissatisfaction. Because injustice
21:41
anywhere is not something
21:44
we mostly think about.
21:46
And remember, you don't have
21:48
that much time to get it right.
21:50
Because it's not like your vice
21:52
authoritarian butter fingers is inspiring any
21:55
confidence Look at the size of
21:57
that trophy next to JD Vance.
21:59
I know those are some Some big young
22:01
gentleman and a big trophy
22:03
is one. Big dudes, yeah. Oh,
22:05
and it looks like a trophy
22:07
fell. That's unfortunate. Oopsie!

animated series number one happy family
24:10
USA Hey Dad, I think this jersey
24:12
might be too big. Yes Roomey, it
24:14
would fit you forever. We didn't come
24:17
to this country to buy new clothes
24:19
every year. You guys see Roomey's
24:21
boobs? You gotta get his hormones
24:23
checked. No, no money for
24:25
hormone checks. Everybody checks. Everybody
24:27
checks their own hormones. Maybe
24:29
we could return it for
24:31
something smaller. Uncle Jamal doesn't
24:34
do returns, he's very under
24:36
the table. And no more
24:38
new stuff. Bossayawed, here, terrible,
24:40
terrible, Energy usage isn't. Look
24:42
where you are on the
24:44
cousin leaderboard. Your cousins are
24:46
beating you in every category.
24:49
Be more like karem. I'm
25:11
so happy to be here with
25:13
you. I'm so happy to have
25:15
you here with me. I'm so
25:17
happy You know the show they
25:19
send me the screeners. Yeah, I
25:21
get them in advance Yeah, of
25:23
course, you've got that kind of
25:25
connection. Yeah, I get I don't
25:27
even have to log in I just
25:29
I touch my computer I
25:31
didn't know what it animated
25:34
series. I'm watching it I'm trying
25:36
to think here. Wait what's happening?
25:39
What's happening? And
25:41
it did and you made it hilarious.
25:44
The show's hilarious. Thank you. No, I
25:46
you know it was something that we
25:48
felt was only possible to do in
25:50
animation. It's actually it's really wild too
25:53
because we've been making the show for
25:55
so many years and I don't think
25:57
there's ever been a week in a
26:00
America's history where immigrants feel the
26:02
need to say hey we are
26:04
number one happy family USA right
26:06
and that is what this family
26:08
feels compelled to do in 2001
26:10
and we kind of have this
26:12
show coming out in this moment
26:14
where it's all colliding in this
26:16
wild weather oh is there something
26:18
going on in the in the
26:20
government yeah how many years you
26:22
said you've been making this for
26:24
many years before 9-11 were you
26:26
making it? What
26:28
did you know Romney?
26:30
We started making
26:33
it during we pitched
26:35
it during Trump
26:37
won And then it's
26:39
coming out now in the sequel.
26:41
Yeah. Isn't it wild that we're
26:44
in errors now? Yeah. Trump won.
26:46
I remember Trump won. Yeah. It's
26:48
so, it was so quaint and
26:51
simple back then. You know, this
26:53
is going to sound crazy. He
26:55
seemed happier back then, yeah? He
26:58
did. He did. He was like
27:00
smiling more. Like he seems really
27:02
stressed now. Like all the clips
27:05
you were showing. I've ever heard.
27:08
I mean
27:11
do you
27:13
think
27:17
when
27:20
you're
27:23
surrounded
27:26
by that
27:30
like
27:32
With comp like imagine being in
27:34
a room with all your cabinet
27:36
secretaries and they're kissing your ass
27:38
so hard That it does seem
27:40
sarcastic Like do you think he goes back
27:43
into like the bathroom afterwards and
27:45
be like do they really think I'm bringing
27:47
the new error? I think he might
27:49
I mean they're kissing his ass and he
27:51
obviously has like body image issues. He's
27:53
lying about the way and not like
28:00
You know, John Stewart's over here talking about
28:02
a front button stuff. I mean, the guy,
28:04
the guy is, the guy is, no, I
28:06
don't think he did, and he's going through,
28:08
I believe he's going through something physical, and
28:10
he happens to be the president of the
28:12
United States, and I think we gotta just
28:14
kind of look at it from, every angle.
28:16
Can I ask you a question? Do you
28:19
think Instagram is with this self-image,
28:21
with this self-image, and that's why?
28:23
Like, because he looks at all
28:25
these Instagram shots of all these
28:27
other leaders, he's like, they look
28:29
ripped. Dude, I think, I mean,
28:31
that Putin shot, it's got to
28:33
hurt. I think there's a reason
28:36
he got off X and created
28:38
his own social media platform. Right.
28:40
Where he could, you know, control
28:43
how people are seeing. Just say, are
28:45
you, are you on? Truth? Yeah,
28:47
yeah, I got at Romney from
28:49
the beginning. And you actually any
28:51
Arab name you can just get
28:54
on truth. It's really easy. It's
28:56
available. Like you can. Oh, cheap.
28:58
They get them cheap. You could
29:00
get at Mohammed right now. 100%.
29:03
Every spelling is available on
29:05
truth. Yeah. It's pretty. It's
29:07
a very limited audience base
29:09
that's on there. Yeah. I
29:11
am hoping that our audience
29:13
at home right now. is rushing
29:15
out. You can sign up today to
29:17
register those domain names. Do you do
29:19
any of that? Do you do you
29:21
social media? Do you? Very sparingly. Yeah,
29:23
I mean it's really hard. I mean
29:25
you know like being creative and we've
29:27
talked about this with like stand up
29:29
and stuff. It's like I love being
29:31
in rooms with people and so being
29:33
online can feel yeah really crazy and
29:35
so no I like I go on
29:37
to look at like sports stuff like
29:39
LeBron stuff but that's pretty much
29:41
it. That's where I'm used to. Like we've
29:43
all this experience as stand-ups, you'll like you'll
29:45
do a room and like they'll always be like
29:47
a table or like a couple of tables
29:49
who like aren't digging it. Yeah. And you're like,
29:52
okay. And sometimes you'll register it and like maybe
29:54
don't get on your nerves a little bit or
29:56
whatever, but then you go home. Yeah. Social media
29:58
is like those people that thought you. sucked, you
30:00
have to ride in the cab with them
30:02
home. And like the whole time, they're just
30:05
like, you suck? Yeah. And you're a Jew?
30:07
You know what's crazy is that I get
30:09
called the Jew? Do you really? Yeah. Like
30:12
I put, I had this like New York
30:14
Times thing and like, it was like the
30:16
thing and there's stuff where people like, oh,
30:18
why do you have them? And then someone
30:21
just writes, another Jew. And I was like,
30:23
whoa. That's
30:27
how much Jews control
30:29
showbiz. Yeah, he's like
30:31
an undercut. Yeah, yeah,
30:34
yeah, yeah, and now
30:36
I'm here with you. But
30:38
if that isn't a
30:40
sign that I'm a
30:42
CIA agent, it is
30:44
so wild though, you
30:46
know, there's all these
30:49
things and Islamophobia
30:51
and anti-Semitism are such brethren
30:53
in like different moments, you know? Yeah,
30:55
but we got like a really bad
30:58
end with our like Islamophobia is so
31:00
weak. Like it just sounds like... Well
31:02
yeah, because it's like arachnophobia, like
31:04
it just sounds like, oh yeah,
31:06
you had a weird Islamic experience
31:08
as a kid, huh? You
31:10
got a little Islamophobia. Oh man. Oh, no,
31:13
no, but no, you can get over it.
31:15
Just like try some halalmi. And then like
31:17
you'll get over, like, you know, Islamophobia. It's
31:19
like a shellfish allergy. He's like, oh, yeah.
31:22
No, he doesn't want any. He has Islamophobia.
31:24
Like it sounds so benign. Antisemitism is like,
31:26
whoa, like, what, what do you want about?
31:28
You know, so I think even from just
31:31
on a, on a, on a, on
31:33
a real word language level language
31:35
level, language level, we're, we're at
31:37
an incredible disadvantage. I never thought
31:39
of it that way. Yeah. And
31:41
that's because you're Islamophobic.
31:44
And that's, and that's like wild.
31:46
That's wild. It's wild because it's
31:49
just wild because we know each
31:51
other. Yeah, I know we're both
31:53
from Jersey. He is. I'm going
31:55
to have to go through our text
31:57
chains and find out how subtle. my
32:00
Islamophobia has been here. It's there. Yeah.
32:02
But they'll hit me. I generally, no
32:04
matter what I'll put on the web,
32:07
and I try not to do it
32:09
much. Third comment, as always, you changed
32:11
your name, Jew. And you're always like,
32:13
really, I'm fooling people, is that? Look
32:16
at this fate. Like, you see this
32:18
maybe on a yental poster. That's you
32:20
know? Who am I kidding? For all
32:23
these things. Now, are you still, you
32:25
still, the clubs are still your favorite.
32:27
Yeah, I mean, go ahead and the
32:29
clock. Yeah, yeah, going out to, I
32:32
mean, it's the best. It's so fun.
32:34
And then it becomes, you know, we
32:36
made this animated show that's like filled
32:39
with, you know, those like thoughts you
32:41
have in a notebook when you're going
32:43
to do stand up and you're like,
32:45
maybe this will work, maybe it won't.
32:48
And then we get to make this
32:50
incredible show with so many characters that
32:52
get to say all this stuff that,
32:55
you know, like, like the rate is
32:57
so fast. Can I tell you my
32:59
favorite? This is going to sound like
33:01
a crazy thing. Yeah. So the show's
33:04
great, and it's just layered with so
33:06
many jokes, and yet, and the subject
33:08
matter can get dark, but it's really
33:11
clever, it's not clowing, like it's really
33:13
good. Yeah. But there's a pool scene
33:15
where you go, I don't want to
33:17
say you, it's roomy, but it's like
33:20
a kid your age in 2001 dealing
33:22
with his, you know, you know, friends
33:24
in a town in New Jersey, after
33:27
9-9-11-11-11. and there's a pool party. Yeah.
33:29
And my favorite part of it is,
33:31
it's like a peanuts thing as they're
33:33
doing a pan across the pool and
33:36
there's one blonde dude in the pool
33:38
with floaty's on and he's just doing
33:40
this. And it's the every peanuts character
33:43
dance to music that it's just anime
33:45
dancing. How about? It's such a great
33:47
detail. It's like loaded with so many
33:49
little details and music and kind of
33:52
the ability to like, you know, do
33:54
things that, you know, when I grew
33:56
up, my grandmother was always watching TV.
33:59
Like you try to talk to her
34:01
and she's just at the TV watching
34:03
her shows and then you go to.
34:06
an animated show and it's like okay
34:08
so the grandmother is always going to
34:10
have her TV with her everywhere yeah
34:12
and and we build this show where
34:15
everywhere she goes she's dragging this cart
34:17
that has her television like she's out
34:19
of funeral she's she and she's watching
34:22
her shows yeah and that's the kind
34:24
of stuff you can't do in live
34:26
action I love that the Halal cart
34:28
turned into a piano oh yeah I
34:31
mean like I always had this fascination
34:33
my dad grew up in the city
34:35
It was so funny to me when
34:38
you go through Midtown and you see
34:40
the news ticker on the Fox News
34:42
building and it's saying all these horrible
34:44
headlines about... Muslim countries and Muslim people
34:47
and then you kind of look right
34:49
down and there's the halal cart right
34:51
on the corner and you see all
34:54
the guys with the fox badges buying
34:56
food from the halal cart guy and
34:58
I was like man this guy's got
35:00
the best hustle because he knows like
35:03
they're in there and they're saying all
35:05
the stuff about Muslim people but then
35:07
there's that like guilty part of them
35:10
on their lunch break that's like let
35:12
me try a little halal you know
35:14
and he's right there to make the
35:16
buck. I'm fascinated by that guy there
35:19
and that becomes the dad in the
35:21
show. He is the guy who's selling
35:23
Halal. And you're the dad too. I
35:26
play the dad as well. Yeah, yeah.
35:28
And the music, do you, do you,
35:30
do you? Yeah, I write them, yeah,
35:32
I write these like songs. When did
35:35
the music, have you been, are you
35:37
music? I, I am music. Are you
35:39
music? Yeah. And I play drums, man.
35:42
Kiki, we would be crazy. We could
35:44
call it kosher halal. We could do
35:46
it. We could do that. Why don't
35:48
we do this? I'm open. We could
35:51
do it. Listen, I have a van.
35:53
Yeah. I'm a terrible drummer, but I
35:55
can bring our shit to wherever we
35:58
play. I do not sing. I've never.
36:00
and but the singing and the music
36:02
is great there's some really funny songs
36:04
in it it's really it was so
36:07
much fun yeah it is like one
36:09
of my favorite parts of the show
36:11
and what else is now what's coming
36:14
what's next we got the show coming
36:16
out this week I got to do
36:18

36:32
Karel is in it and he's like
36:34
honestly such a joy. Yeah, he really
36:36
he told me like so many stories
36:39
about you that. Oh, yeah. Did any
36:41
of the mention Mountain Head? Terrible. I
36:43
don't know. No, that was really good.
36:46
No, thank you very much. I appreciate
36:48
that. Yeah, I went immediately to that.
36:50
No, I loved it. How much fun
36:52

37:02
he's he's like the way he kind
37:04
of picks up a character and he's
37:06

37:11
off him and it's just unbelievable. I
