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 see the Joyanne Reed story? Do you see that from MSNBC? That was a crazy one as well. She had statements from old blog posts where she wrote stuff that was really disparaging to gay people and she actually apologized about it. I think it was like six months ago she came out and said, hey I'm really sorry, I believe these things and I've changed, and I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for having these views. And people seemed like they were over it, and then it came back again. And I thought she was just going to say, yeah, as I'm sorry, to say, to say, to say, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And, I'm, I'm sorry. And, I'm, I'm sorry. And, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm sorry. And, I'm sorry. And, I'm sorry. And, I'm sorry. And, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, over it and then it came back again and I thought she was just going to say yeah as I said I'm sorry but then this time she was like no no I got hacked and people like what and she's like yeah I got hacked someone hacked into my blogs from 2010 and wrote these things I'm like okay wait but you

already said sorry for the other things these ones I'm I got hacked it's like it's a bit weird because then they they'd the journalists the journalists the journalists the journalists the journalists 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 they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they they they they they they they they they were they they they they were they they they they they they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they they were they they were they're they're they. they're they. they're they. they're they're they. they're they're they're they're like like like like like like like like liked. I they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they for the other things, these ones I got hacked. It's like it's a bit weird because then the journalists did their research and they were like, no, there's no sign of hacking here. Nothing has been hacked. And she was like, oh I thought I was hacked. It's like, so did you write it or not? She's like, and then she made a statement on TV? And I love joy. That's the thiiii's th th th th th thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's 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 journalist, their their journalist, their their journalist, their their journalist, their their their their their their their journalist, their their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. I's, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thou. I's journalist, th. I's, th. th. their-s. their-s. their-s. their-I. their-I did, their-s. their- That's the thing that killed me. I genuinely love Joy. I think she does a great show. She's one of the smartest people on TV. And she was like, oh, I don't believe that I wrote those things. I don't believe that I wrote that. Well, you don't believe that I wrote that. You don't believe that you wrote it? I was hacked. Now here's a thing, anyone can be hacked. I mean, people hack Twitter all the time and they write like horrible things or links to like porn sites and whatever.

I just think it's weird for a hacker to hack you and then write an essay. That's a dedicated ass hacker. Hacker. Like, I get a hacker who's just like, yeah, I'll kill everyone. But if someone logs and then like, thogogogog hacking right there. I've been hacked who was it? It was the articulate hacker again Part of it is just like it's bust culture. That's what it is like people are so afraid of being busted for not being perfect in the past and not being given the opportunity to evolve that you would rather lie and say you were never that person before because we're afraid of like deleted. You know if we were afraid of everyone being deleted you said what ten years ago no that there wasn't there wasn't me it's like it but

it was you but it was you the only issue with it is. Joy is one of those people who has been doing a really great job of reporting on what's happening the Trump campaign and I go you can't use the tactics that tru the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th the th th tru tru tru tru tru tru is tru is tru is tru is tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tha tha. tru. tha tha was tha was tha was tha was tha tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. te. te.

And then when Trump says that, he's going to be like, I never, I never said shit-hole actually. It's like, but people heard you. Oh, maybe my mouth was hacked. I'm just going to be like, yeah man. I messed up, you know, that was me a long time ago and that's not me today. And today. And today. And today. And I today, and I tho tho that's that's that's like, I that's like, tho, tho, thi that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, tho-I's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, I'm that's like, I'm not, I'm not, I'm that's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's, I's, I's like, I's, I's, I's, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I's like, I'm, I'm, I'm not, they. they. they. they-I's like, thr-I'm not, they me me, tho' thr-a'er's like, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I And I feel like that's what you commend, is growth in people. If you're perfect, then kudos to you. You know, live your life, do your thing. I think most of us are not perfect. And that's, I'm willing to accept that. All the people I know in my life are not perfect and we move from there. The Daily Show with Trevor No at the Daily Show.com and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and
