You'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsessed me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on

Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Went to the MetGala last night, always insane. Always insane. You know what's crazy about the Medgala is that every single time I go to the Medgala, I'll get more hate in my Twitter feed and stuff about fashion than about regular politics. Like with politics, I'll say whatever I say on the show and people would be like,

you know what, I don't like your point of view and blah blah and whatever but I guess But with fashion people are just like how dare you? How dare you? Because my look like so the theme of the event this year was camp, okay? And I guess everyone has a different interpretation of camp, but from what I understand Camp doesn't mean gay necessarily even though Especially black queer people in America were the ones who move the the the the the the the the the the the th th, th, th, th th, th th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people thi people thi people the people are the, thu thu thu- people people people people people people are thu, thu, thu, thu people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people th, th, th, th, th, th, th, people people people th, people th, people th, people th, people th, people thi people thi people thi people thi people thi people who thi people who thi people who thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiiiiiiii's they are they're they're they're they're thiii thi people are thi people though, especially black, queer people in America were the ones who move the idea of camp forward. But like people have this idea, like camp means drag, camp means gay only. Do you get what I'm saying?

So camp was the theme. Everyone was like, what is camp mean? And so I was dressed by off white, Virgil Abelablo, right? And so he was like, we're going to do the, the, the, the, to, to, the, to, the, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, to, to, the, the, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the, the, the, the, the, the idea, the idea, the idea, the the the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea, move, the idea, move, the idea, move, the idea, the idea, the idea, the the the the the tape, tooomk, tooombs, tooombs, theymea, theymea, theymea, theyme, the the the the the the idea, we're going to do this thing for you. It's like, like, playing off the whole like political statements back in the day and camp, we're going to go, our interpretation of camp. And so you get to the, get to the event. And so now everyone, because this is my favorite thing about the Metcala, is no one, because this is my favorite thing. Like, this is a thi is a thi is a thi is a thi, the thi, the thi, the the thing is a thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, the thing, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, 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, 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, their, their like we're here for the event and the theme. But like imagine if everyone, imagine if everyone got invited to an event and got a different dress code. That's what happens at the Medcarler. We all think we came with the right thing.

And then when you get there, everyone looks around like, oh, I'm not at the right event. Not at the right event. Like, Zach Pozen, he's a designer and he's friendly to me and you know he wasn't like so as a joke he looked and then he was like oh my God Trevor a t-shirt and then I was like yeah that is part of it then he's like mm-hmm and I was like what and then I felt bad I was like oh geez did I I do this wrong I ever got? Then I turned and Katie Perry was a hamburger. Then I was like, no, I don't know how this fashion thing works, but I'm pretty certain a hamburger is not better than a t-shirt. I'm just going to put my money on it. And so then I was like, I'm just going to go in and I'm going to have fun.

And then you went in and people like, who's dressed like what their dress, to what I'm dressed like what? People think that the Metgall is just people walking up a carpet note. It's a beautiful exhibition where they raise money for the Metropolitan Museum, you know, so that they can keep the prices low so they can get greater exhibitions. People in New York can go and see the space. So you go through the exhibition, which is really cool. And then there's dinner. And you know what, isn't easy to sit down as a hamburger? t-shirts. That's right. Functional fashion. The Daily Show with Covernoa, Ears Edition. Watch the Daily Show Weekn, the Daily Show weeknights at 11, 10 Central on Comedy Central and the Comedy Central app.
