Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. 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 obsess 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. You're listening to Comedy Central.

I just want to jump in real quick because you're going to correct the record.

I'm sorry to be that guy, but I saw you yesterday. I was also going to say that. Yes. Yes. Yeah. the last time. . Yeah. It was yesterday, it was like probably around eight. That's so true, but I was checked out so thoroughly.

Oh, is that true? So I thought, since February? Since February? He's been checked out since February. Like severance, I only exist in this room. I only exist in this room. I walk out, I don't know. You know, when I only in this room. Okay, well, we know that for next time. Yeah, so, if we need to tell you something, we'll bring you down here.

Bring it back here, and I'll know, and then podcast you and we'll know. Right. It's been about, what, four months, a fiscal quarter, roughly? Yes. Time of to be going to the conventions. We are. What? In the summer, that's right. We've got to tell you. Yes. What are we spending Mondays at a convention? That seems weird. It's crazy.

Are you going to fly all the way over there just for a Monday? Yes. Although I think we'll probably just stick around for the week. No, no, no, no, no. We do a whole different show. It's different. It's a different thing. We all separately. How fair are you? You all separately come to the building. We separately come to the building to do a different show. A different show, yeah.

Oh, it's just like, you know, when you're at a bar and you're like, well, you're no, you're coming. Yeah, yeah, is that, we have a pet tricks, all sorts of stuff. Oh, all right. Acceptable. Yeah, we're going to the conventions. Precise, Milwaukee. Sorry to break it to you here and now, John, but you're coming with us. I don't, I mean, I didn't, I was in Milwaukee anyway, that we. Fantastic. So I'm happy to stop by and see what you guys are to be spending time in... I'll tell you what, if you're in a suit at any point,

want to just come on and do a show. That's so weird that you would say that, Juban. I've decided to spend a week in Milwaukee wearing a suit. Well, well, well, how did you even know that? Since I never wear a way. I was gonna say you know a suit, you know, at some point. And if you happen to be in Chicago the month after, it turns out the Democratic Party. You are some kind of clairvoyant because I also have planned a trip. I thought to myself, what's the best time to visit Chicago?

Generally, it's, I always say, deep August. And really, the best time to visit any city is when either of the conventions are in town, because, you know, it's pleasant and all the roads are open, there's no traffic, no security. But Chicago in particular, in August, when the Lake Michigan just gets to that right, 103, 104 degree temperature and... That humid wind coming off, just it's fantastic it's fantastic this the smell of the Broughtwursts yeah oh so great I'm so glad you planned it both cities there will be I think that will be the common theme you

know are we that different and divided as a country when we're both experiencing at these conventions the smell of Brottworst. I think the Brotwurst is going to be the unifying theme. It's what we'll bring this country together. And I do, and actually, this is actually interesting because I would have thought going into these, into this summer that, you know, between the two cities, Chicago is going to be the better one to hang out in. But I've been to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to. I'm the the to. I'm to. I'm to mi. I'm to mi. I'm the the the the the the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I th. And I'm th.

And th. And th. And th. And town. I played gigs up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good downtown, good bars and eateries. I will say, it is, it is interesting that we were the first late night show to ever go to the conventions.

And I think, John, that was your decision at the time, right? Is that true? It is true? I don't think even now, almost no one th it. Nobody else brings the whole show there. Yes. Oh, well that I think Generally, yeah, I don't think it was ever particularly viewed as An entertainment forum. Yeah, what made you want to go? Here's the thing during that time ti. I had a very strange lease where I was sharing, it was a time share. And it just so happened that I did not have the apartment

during those dates. So I thought, well, geez, if I can get the show. Do you remember? Juve, I don't think you were there yet. We used to stay when we would go to these conventions, we would stay in like dorms. I remember when we did. I can't remember which convention. It was UPenn. It was UPenn.

In the UPenn dorms? And the UPenn dorms? And the UPenn dorms? And the UPenn dorms? And not even in the regular student dorms. It was like the graduate student. God, was it? Well, Boston wethose were the grand dorms. They were nice, like, comparatively.

The U-Penn was also a grad dorm, but it was disgusting. Plastic mattress, the little tiny, single plastic mattress, on that like weird metal clanky cot. It was like old school dorm rooms, like a little bathroom? Like one bathroom in the middle of the hall? I don't know if it was in the middle. No, it was like a joint but it was a joining to another room like you definitely like there were definitely like co-workers and you. John I don't know if you remember but when we I got there a little early because it was in production at the the. the room I throwns the the th. th. th. th. I was th. th. I was th. throwns. I was throwns. I was throwns. I was throwns. throwns. I was in tho thrown the tho tho tho tho tho tho thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in their was in th. th. th. th. th. th. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. It was the was the was the was the. It was the. the. their their their the. their their their their their their the their their their their the. their the. the. the. It was in the like 50 mile radius to buy glade plug-ins because the rooms smelt so bad,

these dorm rooms. So we had to tell you something. We tell you something. We tell you the only gen and genie and genie would even have the knowledge to know. The rest of us would be like, we don't have to live like this. I said it was so gross because they were so strong. They were like whopting like bad, like college boy B.O. with like glaid plug in over it, like apple spice over it.

Oh, God, it was terrible. It was like a good idea. But I think that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is like, that is 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, that is like, that is like, that is, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, likehener does. It's just like let's just add another bad smell. So to distract from this smell. Yeah. No question because it doesn't filter anything it has to and you learned that from smoking pot in high school like there was no filtration system. You just had to create another smell that was so overwhelming. No one had any idea but what you didn't realize is creating that smell was the dead giveaway. Because why would anyone do imagine the room for no reason? Why would you do that to yourself?

You're like, because I like smelling like ocean breeze. Why? Right. Right. Well, this was, when I was doing that, it was back before they had introduced electrical abilities to the air fresheners where you could plug them in and this. This was in the old days of the Renews It Solid, where we would buy the Renews It Solid and it would be like a little mini mortar shell.

You would unleash it, you would turn it, you would pop up, and then the Renews that Solid would just force itself into your room, molecularly. Well, well, we were, we were. to to to to to to to to to to to to to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air pop up and then the renews its solid would just force itself into your room molecularly well we were we were lucky by 2000 they had plug-in oh by 2000 the technology it improved so dramatically yes yes the awful smell was electric now and not just now it also wasted energy that's exactly right the pioneers well they had to make you with the analog renews it solid tower. They only had whale oil smell. Now we have a vanilla shit smell, so it's fantastic.

They had a renews it tuberculosis, I think it was what it opened it up and it smelled like sanitarium. Do you actually, that's interesting because I think like when I think about the conventions, the most fun part of them for me is being able to just watch every night all the stuff happening as we just kind of, you know, check in on the speeches and just watch all the fun steads and whatnot. I remember the most fun I had at the convention was, and I don't know if you guys remember this, but watching at the 2012 convention, they had a whole theme night that was about, I built that, which was trying to make fun of Brock Obama. And to the point where they had just a country singer come on and just sing the song

called I Built It. Yeah. And I, to this day, I can still say, I built it with my own I put an expletive in there where I shouldn't, I's just so fun to do. But that is to the day the really only convention memory I really have. What I'm always surprised about with the political conventions is they are generally 20 to 30 years behind traditional stagecraft. Like, you know, you've got Broadway plays reenacting the Lion King with incredible costumes. And like that same year at that convention it was like, what if we got a country start? Nobody heard of the same we built that. They'd be like, that'll be amazingly entertaining. Was that the same year they put the empty stool out on stage?

That was a Clint Eastwood, a chair. That was when we were in Austin, I think. No, that was Tampa Bay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that was the the th. that was the same. the same. th. th. th. th. that was the same. the same. the same. the same. that was the same. that was. that was. that was. th. th. the same. the same. th. th. th. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same.

No, that was Tampa Bay. It was it was in Tampa Bay. Yeah. Austin was just for fun. It was the hurricane convention? It was the hurricane convention. Yeah. It was, uh, it was that in Charlotte, I don't remember. Charlotte was the Democratic convention. No, that was, yes. Yes, I remember sure. The hurricane convention was the Republicans in Tampa. And maybe that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was cl. that was that was cl. that was that was that was cl. that was the the the the the the the the the. The Hurricane Convention was the Republicans in Tampa. And maybe that was Clint Eastwood. I always thought Clint Eastwood was the Republican Convention in Austin. Austin was just a mid-year trip for us. Was it now? It was that was one of the most fun we have that was such a fun trip because there was no convention and there was really no reason for us to be there except to have fun and eat and go to a a 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the tho tho tho tho the the tho tho thoen thoen thoen thoan thoan thoan thoen thlin thlin thunne east. thlin cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl. th. th. th. th. the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. to to to to thean east. toean east. thiiinene. thine. thean. thea the. trip because there was no convention and there was really no reason for us to be there except to have fun and eat and go to a very blue city

and a red state. That was what we were doing. I remember walking to the studio and just collecting egg tacos as the way. Yeah, exactly. That's, it was so good. Every deli and restaurant. A lot of breakfast t would take me 45 minutes to an hour to get there for all the egg tacos that I would collect on my way to the

studio. Austin was a good time. We should go to these cities the week after the convention. Why do we do with the pressure of the convention? Let's just go and just eat it. Hey I've got an idea why don't we just go to cities we want to go to. Why don't we just go where we want to go? Why don't we just travel somewhere not like... I've always wanted to go to the Greek islands, anyone? I forget Chicago. I have an idea. Why do we go to the political conventions this year in Florence? Yes. We'll be doing that and we will not be doing shows. We will just be going there. And eating. And eating because, and eating because, and eating because, and eating, and eating, and eating, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, and I I, and, because, and, and, and I, and I, and I, I, I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I the, and I the political, and, and, and, because, because, I the political, because, because, because, because, because, because, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, 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.

But we should stay tuned. Viewers for the Daily Show's convention trips in Milwaukee and Chicago. Yeah. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey everybody, John Stewart here.

coming out every Thursday. 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. Welcome back. So, John, before we turn over to plugs, we actually, John, you know, our social media accounts occasionally get some questions from the fans, and most of them are very stupid.

And we... I don't know why I changed the name. Look, I had a very complicated relationship with my father. Well, okay. All right, that answer is one of them, their tip. So let's go through them one one of the times. One of 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. to. to. to. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to. to. the's go through them one at a time. One of them actually is pretty interesting, which is, would you rather fight one Jordan Kepler-sized duck or 50 duck-sized Jordan-Keplers? And this person did pronounce Jordan-Clepher. I did not mispronounce it. Spell the wrong. Yeah, because I don't know Jordan-Ceplep- Kepler so it's a very difficult. Now it's alm. It's alm. Can you run the parameters of the fight by me again?

So it's one Jordan-Clepper-sized duck or 50-duc sized Jordan-Clepper. This is interesting because Jordan-Clepper himself is an enormous, a hugely tall man. So I think... I'd go, I know where to...I know where I'd go on that. That's simple. I mean I'm assuming we want 50 duck-sized Jordan-Clepper. No question. Yes, no question. One, multiply Jordan-Clepper. Very funny man. Great. Now we have 50 of them. Yes. Amazing. They're little but who their taurtle but who cares? I mean you're not looking at it in any way about what they they can bring to the table immediately or purely a giant. And a giant. And a giant. And a giant. And a giant. the the their their tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. their tape. their tape. I I their their their th. I they's they's they's they's, I they're th.

I multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, they can, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, I, I, I, I, I, I's c. they. they. they. they. they. they. they, multiply, I'm, multiply, I'm, I'm, multiply, I'm, multiply, I'm, multiply, multiply, I'm, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, theypper's height is terrifying. Yeah, I thought about fighting them. I didn't think about like having them be at Trump rallies.

That's actually a lot better use of the 50 George, just running around. Even something as adorable as a duck-sized clepper. Even something as adorable as a duck-sized clepher. to their cut you. they-Ic, thu to fight 50 duck-sized clippers. I mean, I still don't think I'm coming out of that fight, but at least I think it can last a bit longer. Yeah. They started like, you know, swarming your ankles.

You would use from damage. And you might not. And you might not. And you might not think you the other 28 ducks that I was able to can get up to almost half of the ducks. I also in my head was picturing them as like ducklings and not like ducks and now I'm thinking about ducks and those are bigger. I still think I'd go the same way but like ducklings are cute. I might not even if they're a duckling size the cutthe-nuiness might actually overwhelm me. That's what I'm not. I was th I was th thinking I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th I was th. I was thi I was thi I was th.

Yeah if they're ducklings I mean no matter how many there are of them I would I mean if you gave me a hundred and fifty duckling sized clippers I'd mow through that like no issue. But I would get it if it was duck sized I think I would start to tire tire. No that's a thing yeah.

Higher in the teens and by 33, 34 ducks, I'm starting to go on.

Yeah, no, it's definitely. You know, at a certain point, you're breaking your foot, you know, hitting that many beaks and that's kind of the end of it, you know? No question. Do they look like ducks? Do they look like... Oh, you're right? Clepers is. No, no, no. It have to be... It has to be... It has to be... It has to be... In my head it was Jordan Clepper with a duck beak. As a duck. So that's what happened to me with the ducklings.

Yes. And I was like, oh so cute. With a little duckling body. Very cute. We should make, we should clone Jordan Clepher intoto say, I think that's a transmography. I don't, if you, you can't clone somebody into something they're not, you would have to clone them to beat the exact replica. That's fair, and I apologize for that mistake. That's, that was a, me and me. Jubin, no need to apologize. At the institute of clonology, where I've been for nine years. I didn't know that. The amount of times I've looked into cloning my dog. I could probably answer these questions for real.

Before we go, John, you have a new podcast. It's called the weekly show. I know. I have no idea where he came up with. It's such a great idea. Such a great name. Pass. It does obviously, you know, double your workload from one day too. And I, you know, is that like, what's it like to work that hard? You know, Yubin, and I say this with all humility, it's not me, it's the creatine.

Oh. I'm, I've been, I've been juicing. I don't know if anybody at the show even knows that but I've been juicing since I got there. I'm hoping there's no testing regime because I've got things in my system that would make a Chinese Olympic swimmer. I mean it is. A lot of times creating goes to muscles but in my specific example it mostly just goes to just to to thinking harder. Just all goes to enlarging the kidneys. I have to get it right into my eyes. Brain. I like the idea that someone taking steroids but like not working out and just having, just having their, just technicals, just trick and so like, why'd you do that?

You know what I take steroids for the back acting? Yeah, yeah. It doesn't work out. One person's side effects, other person's feature. Yeah. Can we hear about the podcast? What can listeners expect? Oh, I'm gonna, so I'm on it. Okay. So a lot of the shit we're doing right here now with you guys, probably a lot of that. Oh, fantastic.
