Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor, activist, and the host of the Smartless Media Podcast Bad Dates. Please welcome Jamila Jamil. The fashion alone. I knew you'd be bringing the fashion. I knew it. I knew you'd be bringing the fashion. I knew it. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And I brought my little bag. This is some... It's weird that I bring my handbag on television. You don't trust anybody. No, it is. I think it's specifically like a woman of color thing where we're just always ready for some sort of shit to go down. Well, I want to be prepared. Don't trust anyone.
Starting point is 00:00:50 No, don't trust anyone. Least of all you, babe. Yeah, well, you're doing so wonderfully. I'm loving you. I am a huge fan of yours. You're such a brilliant comedic actress. I loved you on the Good Place. And and but I have to say I think one of the things that I adore most about you is how outspoken you are on social media standing up for for things that you believe in and you're one whoop everyone else is very upset. We love it. We love it. You are so vocal and and it's so important it means so much th. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It th. It th. It th. It th. It means th. It means th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi thi to thi. thi. to tho to the the the the the the the the good the good the the the the th. the 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. thi. thi. to to to to to to thi. to to to to to to theea to to to to to to to thiii to to to thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. love it. You are so vocal and it's so important. It means so much. So do you ever get nervous about that? Like I overthink what emogees I use on group texts.
Starting point is 00:01:34 No, I think the problem is that I don't get nervous about it. I think that's where we've gone wrong. And I accept that. But I also think that I have started to occupy a very important but rare space for a woman in media, which is f'up representation. It's like, fine, I'm South Asian representation, I get that, but we don't have enough representation of women who make mistakes, who falter, who get back up, who learn, who grow and decide to do better. So many of us cancel ourselves and we remove ourselves from society because we've been bred to believe that we're supposed to always be so approved of and I'm not always approved of and sometimes I do make mistakes and I am fallible and I have had a messy life and I'm a messy
Starting point is 00:02:15 person and we have to be able to see that in the public eye so that we all know that we reserve the right to make mistakes to come back and to grow to grow and to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th and tho and the tho and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the to to to the the the the to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the throe.e.eck.eck.eck.ecklea.eck.eck. Imoomecklea. Imoomecklea'ecklea'ecklea'ecklea'e. Ie. I will will. I will the. I to make mistakes, to come back and to grow and do better. I think. Welcome to the club. I am also a woman that f*** up, so I think we're all women that fuck up, you know? No one's perfect. I didn't have those role models. I just saw only perfect people who always looked perfect who always said the perfect thing and I think that was kind of damaging. There you go I've found a way thaker thage that was kind of damaging. So there you go, I've found a way to pretend it's valuable.
Starting point is 00:02:46 You have a new podcast out, bad dates. It is so funny, you get the best guests, and they come on and they tell these horrendous, worst date stories. Yeah, it's so disgusting. It's unbelievable. Never listen to it with any of your children. Oh, no, that's a bad idea. to it with any of your children, all your parents, or your parents. It's so
Starting point is 00:03:05 filthy, it's so funny, and it's not about like traumatic bad dates, it's just about the silliest things we've ever done on the road to love or shagging or both. And I think that we can all, we can all relate, you know, you know, oh yeah. We've all had terrible dates and or sometimes we are the bad dates. Yeah. 100% 100% that's my wheelhouse. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What is your worst? You told a horrible date story. The one that I almost gave Alroka a heart attack. Yeah. Yeah. For the second time. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know about the first onerucks? No, I don't know, I just made that up. I totally made that up. No, you did, but it was a great, it was a great story.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And I'm, has that guy ever come back? No, but everyone's looking for him. Well, tell them the story. He's a famous man. Basically there was an incident with he, oh God, he took three steps into my apartment, passed out and had a seizure and all of his front teeth broke and flew across my apartment and I had to call 911 which was actually really exciting if you're English and you've seen it done in the movies. But I did that, the police come in and the ambulance and the fire brigade and everyone's trying to resuscitate him, they bring him back to and they're
Starting point is 00:04:30 like, sir, have you taken anything? He's like, yeah, I've had a little bit of cocaine but I always take cocaine and I was like, oh, red black. And they were like, have you taken anything else? And he was like, and they they start pulling the blanket over his body. And as they go past his penis, he gets rock hard. He looks at me, like, bleeding with such regret and goes, I might have had some Viagra. Toothless and disgrace. Such a beautiful first-date story. Yeah, thank you. They, this is, this is James. It's not my boyfriend, James.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah, and now they're together. They're in a healthy relationship. This is, this is reason alone why they should start regulating erectile dysfunction medications as much as they regulate the abortion pill. But he won't say who it is. It was an actor. Is it Chris Evans? It's not Chris Evans? Is it Chris Pine?
Starting point is 00:05:37 But he has had a beard ever since because he split his chin open that day and had loads of stitches. So just look under the chins of all of your next few guests and you know you'll maybe find it. Oh my god. It's such a funny. Santa honey, is it? Do you, so you hear all these horrible bad date stories. Yeah. What if you could give a piece of advice to people who are out there dating right now? Having heard all these stories, what would you say? Anything's a dildo if you could give a piece of advice to people who are out there dating right now having heard all these stories, what would you say? Anything's a Dildo if you're brave enough? I love that. Cheers. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Cheers. Fearless I tell you. Fearless. This is the problem. My publicist is that literally ready to like, jump me. Oh please, this is late night TV. You can literally say anything. Anything. You started this movement called EyeWate, which started as a social media post, but now it's blown up into this huge movement.
Starting point is 00:06:40 What is it? So it started off as a kind of conversation and a movement around eating disorders and the ways in which we value. Specifically women around their body weight. We use a weighing scale to decide someone's value. But it is now grown into more of a mental health movement and a social advocacy space where you know including on the left we don't always make it a very welcoming space for people to come and to learn and to ask difficult questions or to unpack their old bullshit or was that a fart? Oh excuse me. I'm so sorry I didn't think anyone would hear that. And so, pretend like that didn't happen. I think we can sometimes
Starting point is 00:07:17 overpunish people for what they just don't already know and we can't separate ignorance from evil and so what we created at I weigh as a safe space where, you know wherever you're still laughing at the bar part part part part part part part part part part part part. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I. I I I I I I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. I'm so. I'm so I'm so I'm so. I'm so. I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so. I'm so. I'm th. I I'm. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm. I'm. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so th. I'm so th. I'm so th. I'm so th. I'm so th. I'm so th. I'm so th. th. I'm so th. th. I'm so th. I'm-Way is a safe space where you know wherever you're from whatever. I'm still laughing at the far part I'm so sorry you're like giving this very meaningful. No but anyway look wherever you're from wherever you're at in your knowledge you're welcome with me because I don't know shit about anything and so if I can learn from these wonderful people on the I-way podcast which is separate to the Bad Dates podcast they are very different then you can join me in what I've been learning and there's a there's a movement coming around it so it is a whole movement in general
Starting point is 00:07:52 and we work with social media sites to make them less toxic but now I'm going after the you know I've I've made a big deal about the diet industry and I don't know if anyone heard but now I'm take I'm 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 th I'm to to to to to theck I'm to to theck is the theck. theck. the. I'm the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. 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 th. the th. th. the is the is. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean. theyy. they. they. they. they. they. thea. thea. thea. the deal about the diet industry, and I don't know if anyone heard, but now I'm taking on the exercise industry because it's become intertwined. I feel like it's shagging the diet industry, right? They're now in a close and personal relationship. And it is- And they're both shagging the rest of us. We're just getting shagged from behind. Exactly. But not in the nice way. And so I'm I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly the the the the thi. I'm incredibly. I'm incredibly concerned at how much people only ever associate exercise with weight loss and with looking a certain way or with hyper fitness.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And that's been reinforced by everything we see. All the campaigns are always like the slimmest, most often whitest and the fittest and fastest people in the world. And actually, because I had an eating disorder for 20 years, like I never used to exercise unless it was to punish myself for what I'd eaten the day before. And I think a lot of us have that cycle, especially if you were born in the 90s,
Starting point is 00:08:52 or if you're a teenager who's growing up now. And so I would like of the exercise world and we make you feel like by the time you join a gym, you have to look like you've already been going to a gym for 10 years. And I'm so done with that because the mental health benefits of exercise don't take six months to achieve. They're immediate and you change the way that you sleep and they change the way you feel. And now that I have finally understood that, I'm no longer exercising so that I am appropriate to look at for someone else.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I'm exercising for myself for the immediate benefits and you don't have to have perfect form and you don't have to have abs and you don't have to wear the bloody crop top and the bra and the leggings that are lemon so you can see your actual asshole through them. Like you can wear loose clothes, you can dress like M&M, you know, you can do what you want. And so, you know, it's like you can, you can snack while you're exercising within reason, like be careful about throwing up down yourself. But I just want to reclaim it.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I want to make sure that this isn't this club that we get left out. Exclusive shouldn't be a good word anymore. It's a terrible word. It means leaving people out deliberately and pricing them out. It's becoming a wealth gap situation. So I'm trying to bring people back to exercise. We're trying to democratize exercise. And in May you can join me on my social media as I'm going to try to do some to do do do to become increasingly ridiculous as you can imagine every single day in May. And then we're going to start putting on events that are a safe space for exercise where there aren't mirrors and there aren't tight clothes and there is fun food and where we are not going to make you feel as though there is a physical standard you're supposed
Starting point is 00:10:40 to meet. We just want you to feel happy. Thank you. Thank you for the work that you do. It's so appreciated, you guys. Bad dates. We're holding hums together. We're going to read this together. Bad dates is available on Amazon Music and Wonderry Plus. Jamila Jamil, everybody. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor you may know from bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect. She's here to talk about the new dating app she recently launched called Fluid.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Please welcome Rebel Wilson. Please welcome Rebel Wilson! Yes, I'm spreading fluid across America. They love you, Rebel. Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Wow. You should do a guest host week. Oh, I don't know whether I could do what you do.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Hi, guys. Hi, this is amazing. You should, you should do a guest host week. Oh, I don't know whether I could do what you do. Sometimes I've done hosting gigs and they terrify me. Like, because I hosted the British Academy Awards, the Bafters, and it was terrifying. Is it because like British actors take themselves very seriously? Yeah, yeah, like I made a joke about a male actor and then his wife came up to me and he's like, you know he's married right? And I'm like, yeah, I wasn't like trying to get with him or
Starting point is 00:12:12 anything. Yeah, so it's very hard to host. Well, yeah, I'm glad you're hosting. Thank you. Thank you. Speaking of getting with people, you recently got engaged? Yes, I did. Yeah. Congratulations. You got engaged at Disneyland. Yes, I got engaged in Disneyland. Yes, I got engaged in Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:12:39 The happiest proposal place on earth. Yeah, so basically like, it's not like I'm obsessed with Disneyland. It's just, I go there every weekend. Oh my God. Like every important holiday and every important life event. So I did actually get to sleep inside Disneyland for my 40th birthday. So I got to sleep overnight. And I got those little like disability scooters and went around just just by myself. Why? I was like cruising around. Why sleep in an empty theme? That's like a horror movie.
Starting point is 00:13:09 It was really fun. It was really fun. And then I tried to break into the Churos thing and then I couldn't get that many, but it was fun. Yeah. You know, but were the rides open overnight? No. They shut they shut them eventually yeah there's this whole thing with Disney adults you know this maybe I'm one of them no did you know this son there's actually gangs at Disneyland there are like these gangs of
Starting point is 00:13:34 adults they have like cool names like the White Rabbit or children of Fannos coco Locos like yeah they have all these gangs and sometimes they wear matching vests and they walk around and like do gang stuff inside this plant. Wait, there's like an initiation where you have to like stab Goofy or something? It was actually one of the initiations was you had to steal the apple from the snow white ride, and the apple kept getting stolen so many times that they had to make it a hologram. Not a physical apple anymore. But don't ask me how I know about Disneyland gangs because I will not see.
Starting point is 00:14:14 It's not like you're wearing gang colors right now at all. No. But I will say I did get banned from Disneyland for 30 days Because I took a photo in a secret bathroom inside Disneyland when which is illegal at Disneyland And I got officially banned for 30 days But they called me up and said rebel what 30 days do you not want to come to Disneyland because you're away filming a movie or something and I said oh June would be fine So it's how I know you're a celebrity. Like, Disneyland has met gala rules where there are like no photos here.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And then you break it and then they're like, look, we have to punish you. But looking at your Google calendar, yeah. What month works for you? Yeah. Do you as a Disney adult, do you have beef with quidditch adults? Because there's adults that play in quittitch leagues. Do they? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You're laughing at them? No, I mean, I like Harry Potter as well. You're like, do you? Yeah, oh my god. Hot dogs. No, I don't have beef with everyone. I'm just like spreading love and you know, yeah. That's... You're something. Can I ask you a question? I always wanted to...
Starting point is 00:15:27 I haven't done it yet. But I heard there is this like... Disney Illuminati. It's called Club 33. Yeah, I know about this. So... Because I'm in it, I'm in it, okay. So what, you're not... This is a private conversation. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I, yeah, I, yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm, I always, I always, I always, I always, I always, I always, I always, I always, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,? So what, you're not, this is a private conversation.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah. I mean, yeah, you're not supposed to say you're in it. Not supposed to reveal other celebrities who are in it, or other members, but yeah, I am in it. And we do secret calls shit together. Like, sometimes we go into Disney and at 5 a.m. Just run around. Do so.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Oh my god. Yeah. I have a secret gathering this weekend. In Palm Springs. Because Walt Disney used to go there to find inspiration. I don't know if you're fucking me right now. Sometimes I say things. It sounds like jokes, but it's totally real. But it's totally real?
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah. I'll go on a Reddit deep dive and confirm it. I want to talk to you about this amazing dating app you have called Fluid. Thank you. It's new. Like none of the other dating apps have thought of this. And I was like, well, I thought of it, so trademarked that shit, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, thatemark that shit. Yeah, it's called Fluid. And basically, when I was, I wasn't so lucky in love, I was kind of like a late bloomer.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And when you joined a dating out, which I did this one called Raya, and you had to like tick, you had to label yourself and then label what you were interested in. And to me, I kind of, like, it felt really weird to like, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, the, th.................... to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, like, to, to, to it felt really weird to like tick a box and say, yes, I'm that. And so I wanted to create a dating app where you don't have to label yourself, so it's love without labels. And to me, it's really important because I think sexuality is, yeah, so much more nuanced
Starting point is 00:17:15 and complex than just like labeling yourself and like your can of food or something. And so I wish that fluidid was an app that was available like five years ago because that would have really helped me a lot. And I was I was pre-dating apps. Okay so you'd never been on one? Never been I'm MSDOS. I'm like Windows 95. Old school chivalry. My move was in college with my wife. I basically just went to the registrar's office and then took all the classes she was taking. Until she broke up with her boyfriend. And yeah, I was laying back in the cut.
Starting point is 00:17:54 You have to respect how long I held my plank. Because I was pre-med for two years. OK? And I should not be pre-med. I should not. Just wait, when you say plank, what do you mean? I'm like, like, you know, like, like, like when you're like exercising, they're like, hold the plank.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Okay, oh yeah, maybe that's just a Barry's boot camp that I got to. Yeah, okay. Okay. Yeah. But the question. the question. the question. the question. the question. the question. the question. the question. the question. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that. that. that. 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. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. had was, how do you initiate conversation on an- question? Yeah, because people are going to be going on fluid, they're going to be matching, and then they're like, ah, what do I do? What do I say? How do you, how do you start?
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah, introduction. How do you, how do you do? Acoa-emo-moge. Like, you match with someone? It could mean multiple things. I mean, maybe it particularly worked for me because I'm Australian. Yeah. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I mean, it's interesting what some people just do like a wave emoji or something? Like not even just a sentence, just an emote. Well, I mean, it's interesting. What are you supposed to write back when someone does the hay? The hang is kind of just like, do you, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, like, th, like, th, like, th, 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, 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, th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. I. th. th. I. th. I. Like, like, what are you supposed to write back when someone does the hay? I have no idea. Yeah, I mean, it's hard. The hang is kind of just like, do you take it as, is that too much? Uh, no, like, what would be too much? What would be too much is like calling you babe in like the first message? Okay. You know, you don't get to babe until like, you've been on 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, like, the, like, they, like, they, they, like, they, they, they, they, they, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they, they, they, like, they're, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, they're, like, like, they're, like,. Like, you know, you know, like, what's wrong with that? Because you wouldn't walk up to somebody in a bar.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I love, I would love, I would love it. But that wouldn't be your opening line. You've got to have a bit of banter. So, yeah, okay. So what I recommend to people is, yeah, to do a little bit of ban. to. to. to, to do, to do, to do, to, to, to do, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, 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 th... the the the the th.. the the the the th the the the th the tho.. to, what, what, what, what always. Right. I did one experiment called the Year of Love in 2019 where I went out with everybody who asked me out as an experiment. So I got real good dating. It should be. Yeah, yeah I think I'm like... Yes and it's like the craziest improv class. Yeah everybody he said yes unless they were in a federal prison. I went out with that was the one caveat and like and so I got I did get really good at dating

Starting point is 00:21:07 Maybe it's because I'm a law school graduate. Yeah, me too. But I didn't know, I didn't know that's corny now. Like now, it's all ironic detachment. I think that's a sign of good education. Yeah. Okay, thank you. Thank. I don't want to get bad about that. I wanted to ask you, what is an instant red flag for a dating profile? Okay, there's some things. A man holding a fish.

But it is, it is like a civilization built into a mountain, but they'll be like at the top of it and they're just like, I'm Mike, you know, and it's just like sungrass.

I think it was more like I'm like well traveled and I'm interesting. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, you can read lots of things. I mean, I definitely when I was on the apps, I would look at people's foot and try to like work out things about them and you know if I thought they were like cool. Really? Yeah, yeah. But sometimes you can never 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 th the the the the the the the the the that that thate. Well, the. Well, the. Well, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're that. Well, well that. Well, that. Well, that. Well, that. Well, thate. Well, that. Well, thate. Well, well, that that. Well, well, they of them do have a criminal record. How many criminals have you dated?
Starting point is 00:22:47 A couple of ones. Oh my God. I do have the number of the FBI. What? Because they volunteer to check people out for me. Yeah. Okay, we're putting fluid the app here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I don't know whether they do this for all actors. But they're like, oh, you know, if if if if if if if if if if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.a.a.a.a. th. th. th. the, the, they.a. the, the, the, the, but they're like, you know, if you ever want to background check somebody, you let us know their name and their number, and so I did. Turns out that guy had an assault charge from Chicago. Yeah, and then I said, how bad is that? Because he was quite hot. And then they go, I wouldn't let my daughter date him. So I said, OK, and I ended it. So the FBI has really helped me. OK. I can't believe it. I do love the FBI.
Starting point is 00:23:34 The peaks and valleys of that story is kind of like Machu Picchu. OK. OK. Obviously, you like Machu Picchu. Okay. Okay. Obviously you founded this amazing app and... Not many females in tech. Yeah. So I was like, let me get in. It's an amazing, yeah, okay. It's an amazing practice.
Starting point is 00:23:56 How do you think this app would have changed your life five years ago? I think it would have, I was someone who like I didn't, I was kind of dating guys but I didn't think I was 100% straight, but I just, I grew up in a very conservative Christian background and so I never quite explored that area. Whereas the cool thing with fluid is like, you know, maybe a woman would have popped up and I would have been like, oh yeah, and there's no judgments to like chat to someone on fluid and so you could, and you would have just chatted to them and maybe I would have like got to know somebody quicker. Yeah, so I kind of wish it was around earlier and that's why I wanted to totally straight on it you could be gay you could be like in any of like the intersectional queerness that's out there and and find love on this and it actually just it widens the dating pool and sure some people you
Starting point is 00:24:53 won't be interested in and then the algorithm will learn not to send you too many of those people but they might show you a wild card it the they they might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might they might might they might they might might they might they might the their their their their their their their their their. but their.

It's like when you're shopping for like a cheesecake, and you might not know what flavor you want until you see it in front of you. Right. And then, yeah, and then you see like, hi, yeah. That's amazing. That's tasty. Everyone, please be sure to check out the fluid dating app. Rebel Wilson, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you really great. Let's take a moment, let's take a moment to talk about dating apps. The quickest and most convenient way to meet a few dozen psychopaths. These days, practically every single person in the world is on an app, like Tinder or Bumble. But apparently, not everyone feels like those apps are serving their needs. We are back with some headlines.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Calling all conservatives, a new dating app called The Right Stuff, just might give you a chance to meet your true match. It was funded by Peter Teal, but founded by former officials in the Trump administration, who had a hard time finding like-minded people to date on the existing dating app that often made them feel 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi. thi. thi. thi. the the 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. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to, to, to to to theeeeean. toauu. thean. thean. thean. theeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. had a hard time finding like-minded people to date on the existing dating apps that often made them feel unwelcome. But yeah, some of my friends would try to use the apps. They'd, the minute they became, it became known that they were working for Trump, the date immediately ended. That happened several times to my friend. Yeah, girls girls would just get up and leave or you know abruptly try to end the date.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Okay, well, now, to be fair, to be fair, you can't assume these women left the date because of your politics. You can't assume that. I mean, let's be honest, Trump's staff has got fired like every week, right? Every single week they were getting fired. Maybe they just didn't want to date someone who was about to be broke. You don't know? It's like, where do you work? I work for Trump. Oh, not for long. And also, I call bullshit on this whole story. When does anyone go on a date and not know what the person does ahead of time?
Starting point is 00:26:56 It's 202. to the restaurant, you know their job, their friends, their dating history. If they're taking a picture on a beach off the year 2005, you've seen it. But either way, none of this will be an issue anymore, thanks to the right stuff. A new dating app, just for conservatives that launched over the weekend. And once people started signing up, it was immediately clear that this isn't like other dating apps, because there are prompts for things like favorite Bible verse. Well, that's fine. Favorite conservative pundit. And January 6th was blank.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah, so good luck out there, all you conservatives hoping to match with that special FBI agent monitoring the site. And look, there's nothing wrong with having a conservative dating site. Nothing wrong at all. There are plenty of apps where you can meet people with like the same religious beliefs, apps where you can meet fellow farmers. There's even an app where you can connect with other die-hard star trac fans, which I think is super cool. It's great being able to avoid that awkward conversation about still being because now you can just assume, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, th, th, and th, and tho, and tho, and tho, tho, and 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, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,'s great being able to avoid that awkward conversation about still being a virgin because now you can just assume you
Starting point is 00:28:06 know. He's like you you you yeah. But if you ask me, you ask me, these apps are just one more way that people are retreating further and further into their own little bubbles where you spend all your time with other people who are just like you and in my opinion that's a little sad. Which is why I'm glad. Thanks to the Daily Show, there is another new dating app that's coming out soon that takes a much different approach.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Are you tired of going on dates with someone who's just like you? So you also support, also support gun control? Yeah. Boring. Why not try a dating app that's guaranteed to create a spark? Introducing hate f-feeh-feehate. At hate f-fee, we'll help you find someone you absolutely despise so you can bang out your differences. That's why to me, January 6th is one of the worst days in American history. you absolutely despise so you can bang out your differences.
Starting point is 00:29:05 That's why to me, January 6th was one of the worst days in American history. Really? Yeah. I was there on January 6th. I thought it was a blast. People like you make me sick. People like you make me sick. People like you make me sick.
Starting point is 00:29:21 My place is fun somewhere. Yeah, let's go. With America more divided than ever, hate has become the defining emotion of our times. And hate f-fix is here to make the most of it. Here's how it works. When you sign up, you fill out a detailed survey about your most impassioned political beliefs. Then hate f-fix will use a proprietary algorithm to find someone who
Starting point is 00:29:45 thinks those beliefs ain't shit. Because you can't see red or blue when the lights are out. I want to write in. Sorry, that's gonna affect that title. Oh my god, you're such a pissing. Hey, F-fixing., helping America come together. Explore more shows from the Daily Show podcast universe by searching the Daily Show, wherever you get your podcasts.
