Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, Night of the Living Pigs. Aaron Rogers, Tripp, and a manned less then birds. This is the Daily show with Trevor Noah. Welcome to the Dairy Show. I'm trying to know it. Thank you so much for shooting it. Thank you for coming out in person. Thank you for being here. Thank you so much. Thank you everybody. Take a seat. Let's do this thing. We have got a great show for you tonight. The Choco Taco is coming back from the dead. Scientists are bringing pigs back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:01:00 And Aaron Rogers is more alive than ever. Plus, here to talk about her brand new horror movie. Amanda Stenberg is joining us on the show, everybody. So let's do this, people, let's go straight into today's headlines. All right, people, I'm going to be honest, with all the news that happened today. I don't think we have enough space in today's show. I've looked at it from every angle. I. I. I. I've th. I've th. I've th.

I've looked at it from every angle. I haven't tried those vacuum-sealed bags to compress everything, and still, we just don't have enough time to cover old the news. Fortunately, not enough time is just enough time for a segment we call, and nobody got time for that. All right, let's get straight into it.
Starting point is 00:01:48 As you know, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown no signs of letting up. Why? Because Vladimir Putin clearly believes all of those dumb Instagram quotes about never giving up on your dreams. God damn it, Vlad, we need more memes about realizing you suck and quitting. Anyway, because of that, the European Union is preparing all of its countries for a winter without Russian gas, which means, 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're th. th. th. th. th. As th. As th. As th. As, as th. As, as th. As, as th. As, as their. As, as their. As, as their. As, as their, as their, as th. th. th. th, as th. th. th, as we, as we, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. All, th. All, the, the, the, that, that, that, that, that, that, the. And, thee. And, the. And, as we the. And, as we that, the European Union is preparing all of its countries for a winter without Russian gas, which means they're going to have to make some really drastic changes to life. And in World News this morning, Spain is heated over an air conditioning van.
Starting point is 00:02:16 The government there says certain shops and bars they can't set air conditioning below 27 degrees Celsius. It's to limit dependence on Russian gas. Wow! Public buildings in Spain have 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 winter their winter their winter their winter th. th. Wea their winter th. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. They's th. They's th. They's th. They's they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they's they's they's they's they's they's they's their winter their winter their winter their their their their their their their th. Wea. Wea. I?? th. I? th. I? I'm th. I'm th. I'm going theeean. I'm going theean. thea. thean. thea. thea. thea. to limit dependence on Russian gas. Wow, public buildings in Spain have to keep their air conditioning above 27 degrees Celsius. And I know right now, all the Americans are watching it like, oh my God, that's so hot or so cold? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I don't know, but I'm with you, Trevor, I don't know. Well, it's hot. It's 80.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah, now you're with me. Yeah. And if you have to set your AC to that temperature, then what is even the point of having an AC? You may as well just hire some guy to breathe on you. Ha! Thank you, Jared. That's so refreshing. Were you eating Chipotle?
Starting point is 00:03:04 And you know, I feel really bad for the Spanish people. They need air conditioning, probably more than anyone else, especially because of how naturally hot Spanish people are. Yeah, just being Spanish. Raises any temperature in the room by like 10 degrees. No, even in like a boring meeting, it's like, excuse me, Janice. But do you have the TPS reports from accounting? We need it for the fiscal quarters. Like, oh my God! Now if we had more time, we could talk about how Russia is showing the
Starting point is 00:03:33 world why it's so necessary to move away from fossil fuels, especially because of the countries the fossil fuels are connected to and because of climate change, but we don't have the time for that because of another shitty thing that Russia is doing. WNBA star Brittany Griner today found guilty and sentence inside of a Russian courtroom. Nine years behind bars for smuggling cannabis oil. The Biden administration calling the trial a sham and saying the sentence is unacceptable. This is some bullshits. We all know Russia doesn't care about what Brittany Griner did. Well, this is the same country that's breaking every human rights law on the planet, but
Starting point is 00:04:08 they're like, oh, that woman has vap cartridge. Oh, she's real criminal. Get the fuck out of here, man. That's bullshit. We all know it. We all know it. And the one piece of good news, it looks like, the one piece, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, is, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, thi, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one,. All right, Russia's like, oh we have prisoner for nine years, you give us a prisoner who is in America for for nine years, you know? And you know what I think they should just do it? Yeah, whoever America has in prison, send them to
Starting point is 00:04:33 Russia. Yeah, it seems like they win, but don't forget that person now that person now has to live in Russia. Yeah, they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll. Yeah. Yeah. they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll th. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. thi. Yeah. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. Yeah, th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll th. I'll th. th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. th. I'll th. I'll theee. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. th. I'll th. th. th. th. th. th. this whole country is prison. I miss food in Alcatraz, no. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how this whole thing could have been avoided if the WNBA paid their stars enough that they didn't have to go and play in Russia in the offseason to make money. But unfortunately, we don't have the time to talk about that because there's another sports story about a male male male male male male male male male male the male the male prison, the prison of the mind. Erin Rogers recently revealing on a podcast that he used psychedelic drugs to improve his outlook on playing football. The 38-year-old said, quote, I really feel like that experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career. He opened up about his experience on Iowaska and a retreat in Peru. Iowaska is a plant-based psychedelic drug used to treat physical, mental, and spiritual issues in South American countries.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Wow, okay. Do you understand how big this is, people? Aaron Rogers just said, yo, I took drugs and that's part of the reason I crush the game. Yeah, that shows you how much times have changed. Because you remember back back, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii???? their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, to, th. It, to, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It's, th. It's, toed. It's, toed. It's, toed. It's, to. It's just just just just just just just just just just. It's to. It's toea. It's toea. It's th. It's th. It's th you how much times have changed. Because you remember back in the 90s, that brings someone like shack on TV to be like, remember kids, I'd rather kill myself than get high on marijuana. Don't do drugs. But now this is accepted.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And please, don't get a twisted. He wasn't playing while he was on Ayahuasca. Although I kind of wish he was. No, because I'd love to see what kind to play to play to play to play to to to to to to to to to to the kind kind kind kind kind kind to to to to to to to to the kind the kind the kind to to the kind to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their 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 the.. the. too. to. to. to. to. to. too. too. too. too. too. toe. toe. I toe. I to, because I'd love to see what kind of plays a quarterback would think of while they're on the journey, you know? All right, everybody, huddle up. It's fourth and one. So, Johnson, you're going to look deep in your soul, buddy. All right, and rediscover your inner child. All right, Debowski, I'm going to hug that rainbow, man. You just hug it real hard. All right, Coleman, stop floating.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Come on, everybody, let's do this! Now, if we have more time, we could talk about how great it is to see people like Aaron Rogers, normalizing conversations around whether we can use psychedelics to improve people's mental health and cure them from addiction. But unfortunately, we don't have the time, speaking of addiction, the Chaco Taco is back. Okay, call this a comeback, Klondike hinting that it might bring back the Chaco Taco after a huge reaction
Starting point is 00:06:56 to the news that it was gonna be discontinued. The company says it's reflecting on the outpouring of support and demand and figuring out what the next step should be. This is amazing! What? This is amazing! Klondike ended the Choco taco, and the fans brought it back.
Starting point is 00:07:16 This is the kind of passion you normally only see in the beehive or the B. The B.T.S. Army. Yeah, in fact, they should get their own name, know, the Choco, the Chaco, or like a, like, the Klondike Klux Klan. Maybe not that one, but, but you get my point. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just riffing here. I'm just riffing. Like, if we had more time, we could have you know, to talk about any of that.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I was just thinking of burrito, because you want to talk about something coming back from the dead, then this could be the biggest story of our lives or deaths. A stunning medical breakthrough has raised questions about the line between life and death. Researchers at Yale University pumped a custom-made solution into the bodies of pigs that had been dead for over an hour. Incredibly, the chemical
Starting point is 00:08:09 revived cells in the pig's liver, kidney, and brain, and their hearts even began to beat again. Scientists say this could lead to saving more human organs for transplant. Sweet Jesus in heaven. Scientists have found a way to bring dead cells back to life. Whole organs, people, hearts beating again. Do you understand how mind-blowing this is? Do you understand how mind-blowing this is? Do you understand how mind-blowing this discovery could be? I feel like you guys are fucking around right now.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Pigs are coming back to life, people. You realize it's not a long way off, but this could mean we're going to be in a world soon where you could revive people who already died. We could make a Jurassic park but with people. Yeah. How dope would that be bringing your grandma back to life and visiting her in the park? Oh no, the grandmas are escaping! Ah!
Starting point is 00:09:13 Everybody, cover your cheeks. Ah, they got me. I'm too cute. Ah! I feel like this should be the only story in the news right now. Do you understand how big they, they made, the pigs, the pigs, the pigs, the pigs, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, their, their, tho, tho, their, tho, their, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, pigs they made the cells come back to life they were dead they made it come you guys don't even understand right now I don't even think you people understand right now you understand how huge yeah there's always people like who would you like
Starting point is 00:09:37 to have dinner with alive or dead now that shit could happen and all those those dumb people like I would love love to have made Hitler. And then it's like, hello? No! I don't even know why we're doing a TV. We shouldn't even be doing TV anymore. Everyone's talking about other things. They might have found a way to bring dead people back to life. You guys still want to know about what? Joe Biden? I'm gonna fuck Joe Biden right now. They use the things thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing things things things things things things things things things things things things things think think think, think, think, tho, I the the thi, I'm tho, I'm th. I'm 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 th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, thin. I'm th th thin, th thin, th. I don't tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I don't th. I don't th put it inside. They've tried this with bypass machines. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:10:05 The organs die, but then they pumped these pigs with like a thing called organ X. And now the pigs came... You people don't even understand what I'm... They have to make the pigs sleep. They gave it a nerve blocker, and then when they gave the pig a dye injection to see what the brain was the the the brain the brain the brain the brain. This ethically is the craziest, we don't even, we're not ready for this. This could redefine death. What is death? Who is death? How is death? How is death?
Starting point is 00:10:32 It could be like an option now. You could die and then do my funeral and then come back and watch. It'd be like, oh, that's what you said about me when I was going? Okay. This is wild. This is wild. th wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi wi th wild. thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi the one thi thi the one thi thi the one thi the one thi the one thi, like the one the one tho thi.

We theea. We thea. th wild. And I know it's scary. The one piece of good news is though, it could lead us to a better world because someone has to bring you back. Yeah. So you'll be like, you guys are bringing back, right? And people are like, yeah, we'll bring you back, yeah. I'll teach you to be an asshole. All right, that's all the time we got for the headlines.

All right, that's all the time we got for the headlines. Before we go, let's check another traffic with our very own. Onewood Junior, everybody.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You're a crazy world, crazy, crazy, crazy world. My man, what's up? It's supposed to stay dead, right? Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. The choc, taco, ta-a. I, right. the, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. the, right, right. the, right. the, what, what, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, 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, don't want to talk about the Choco Taco. What do you want to talk about? I want to talk about the traffic? You want to talk about traffic? I want to talk about Chaco Taco. No, no Choco Taco.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Why? Chauca, c'c. Cars, man. They lied. That was an election. We had an election. We voted with our wallets. And we voted the Chaco Taco out of the freezer. And now Klondike is trying to change the results of the election.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And I will not stand for that. You cannot change the results of an election after the election has been verified and solidified. Let me talk to you right now, I have to talk to the people like that. Listen, listen, we cannot let them steal the chaco taco election. Join me at the choco taco factory and we will march there January 6. It's too hot right now. And we will stop the steal. I don't think you want that that the the to stop the to stop the the to stop the to stop the to stop the the to stop the the to stop the to stop the to stop the to stop the hot right now. And we will stop the steel. I don't think you want that. We are going to stop the steel.
Starting point is 00:12:27 The taco-tacos should be dead. You can't bring it back to life. When people are happy, it's coming back. It's not coming. They said it might come back for a little while. They don't want that. You don't. Can't be having you coming and going. These people happy but these people don't know what's going to happen. They're happy

Starting point is 00:13:48 All right. We'll be right back, so the Daily Show. You know, here at the show, we pay a lot of attention to what's going on in the news. But how much are other people outside our studio following along? Well we sent Michael Costa to find out for another edition of Fill Me In. Welcome to Fill Me In. Welcome to Fill Me In, the game where you put blank in my... I put words in your...
Starting point is 00:14:29 Keep going. In your... Hi? Hi. Hi. Hi. Let's get started. Marco Rubio, who's that?
Starting point is 00:14:43 I honestly don't know. Is't know? Is it a singer? It's probably a singer. Marco Rubio is a... Ashole. All right, to be nice about it, he's a senator down to Florida, and he's an idiot. Marco Rubio was recently quoted as saying, I know plenty of blank in Florida that are pissed about gas prices. Well it's Florida, so there's probably plenty of gas in us?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Hicks. Hicks. Old people? Rednecks. Rednecks. Why would he say that? It's Florida, man. Hint, it's what Mike Pence doesn't want to be in a locker room with. Hold on, wait.

There are a lot of rumors about President Putin's blank. Well, I want to say penis, but that wouldn't work. I guess his health.
Starting point is 00:16:14 His health, why did you say that? Because I heard that people think he may have some type of disease and he's not being shown anywhere. Where did you dig up this? Correct answer! There's been a lot of rumors about President Putin's health, but as far as we can tell, he's entirely too healthy. That's what the CIA is saying.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Does this guy look entirely too healthy to you? Why not? Why not? He have titties. Let'stoo healthy to you? I don't know. Why not? Let's move on to our celebrity round.

You could use the same description for dog treats, which unfortunately I learned. Poisonous. Poisonous poisonous. Pozenous! Posen for human consumption!

Starting point is 00:19:07 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's great to see you in person again. It's great. Wellbaugh, wa.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It's great to see you in person again, you know, in real life. Last time, it was. It was. It was. But other people just got to witness. Yes. And now they're here in person. We can touch each other, we can hear each other. Yay.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Congratulations on the new film. It is certified fresh. I think it's like 90-something percent on tomatoes. The people are loving it. And I've seen horror movies. I've seen comedies. I've seen movies that are commentaries on society as a whole. I don't think I've ever seen a horror movie that comments on society as a whole while being funny at the same time and dealing with people's sexuality. How did you do it? Congratulations. It's phenomenal. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Thanks. Yeah, it's definitely a mixed bag of a film, and we were nervous about the tone at moments, but we just want people to have fun. I feel like the easiest way to deal with the ugliest parts of ourselves is to have fun while dealing with those things. I like that. We tried to approach it like we were just making a purely dramatic film. I love that.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Like nothing was funny about the situation. The thing is that we were playing terrible people who don't know that they're terrible and that is hilarious. It really is. And so that was what we were going for. We had to authentically be the worst people ever. And the result was hopefully some comedy. You know what makes that that that thia thiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. We's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii is thi is thi is thi is thi was hopefully some comedy. You know what makes it funny is you're watching a horror movie, most horror movies you watch and you're like,
Starting point is 00:20:48 no don't kill that person, here you're like, no don't kill, well, okay. Yeah. No, because all the characters like you say, and then here's the thing. Well, I think we say you know social media the way we see ourselves even our friend groups What I like is it's not judgey, you know, it's something we all do as human beings and and it's it's fun It's like a cool commentary on on what we all do. Yeah. Yeah, well, I love horror films so much because I feel like it's one of those mediums that for some reason It's it's the easiest to make social commentary through th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho-c-soea. tho-m. thr-m-mea' theou-m-m-a' the. the. the. the. 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. thi thi thi thi thi-I thi-I thi-I thi. thi. theeeeea. thea' thea' theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea. thi of those mediums that for some reason, it's the easiest to make social commentary through horror films.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Maybe because human beings are so driven by, you know, like fear and love. And so, horror, it makes sense. And so, I feel like in this movie, we were trying to make commentary about themes that have existed for a very long time. But this is a hyper-contemporary film because it's about how all of that is just exacerbated by social media. And so now we have this literal cut out of ourselves that's online that we like prune and we pick
Starting point is 00:22:03 and we update and we show to the world. And so we're kind of trying to make fun of how ridiculous that is. And you're one of the few people I've known who for as long as social media has been around, you've always commented on this. You're barely on social media, you post now and again. But one of my favorite posts you ever created was it's you wearing a really, like media, you post now and again, but one of my favorite posts you ever created was it's you wearing like a really like revealing outfit and you're playing like a really sexy song and this is when they were taking you know women's posts down, they're like you can't have that post, you
Starting point is 00:22:34 can't have that post. And then your post was, I've read that if you if you type hashtag ad in the caption, they don't pull of th. thagh. thagh. thagh. Oh, thaghirt, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. th. th. th. th th th that, that, that, that, that, I, that, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th the, 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 th the, th the, the, the, the. theeee to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the. the. the. the. the caption, they don't pull it down, and they still haven't pulled it down. Yeah, I've actually had a couple videos of mine banned on social media. I primarily use TikTok now because I was just, you know, posing in an outfit and it said that the content was sexually explicit. Right. Even though there was no part of my body that was actually showing in the video. But I think the reason that that happened and why I used hashtag ad in order to keep the video up is because of algorithmic bias. So, I don't know. I actually got to do an audio book about this. It's called Sex Face and Robots, and it's about this.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's about algorithmic bias and how that's something that we have to be really aware of right now. You've been aware before a lot of people and I think that's why you're successful, not just in what you make, not just in what you do, but in who you are. Amanda, thank you so much th.
