You're listening to Comedy Central. Stock market. Do you guys celebrate the stock market? Yeah? Well, maybe not today. She was crashing, son. It was the wildest thing I've ever seen. Just like red, red, red, red, red, red.

And then Bitcoin was also crashing, which makes no sense. Because people tell me Bitcoin is the thing that's supposed to protect you from the market but then Bitcoin goes with the market which makes no sense. At one point I tried to check my stock portfolio app and my app was just like ah maybe go play some wordle buddy. It's not a good day. Actually you know what I feel bad for all the Wall Street guys who jumped out of the window at noon because the market rebounded and it came up higher at the the day. So now 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 theck. theck is the. the. theck is the' the' the' the' the' the' the' the. the. the. the. th is is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is the. th is th. the. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. toye. ty is ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttoye. ttoye. toye. ttoye. toye. toye. toye higher at the end of the day. So now you know there's at least one guy who jumped out of the window. And then it's like, ah man, you've got to wait till the end of the day to kill yourself, fellas. You never know what the market's going to do.

Imagine jumping out the window and you're like, ah, Yeah, but that happened to the stock markets. And I think it's rebounded. They said it ended higher than where it started in the day, which must be terrifying for people's money. Because we always think about this from our perspective as humans, but imagine how your money feels. The stock market is like a roller coaster for your money. You're not terrifying that shit is.

You just put your money in there. You don't even think about your money. Your money buys you food. Your money buys you shelter. And you don't give a shit, you're just like, yeah, money, go to the stock market. And then your money is just that they terrified. I'm down. I'm up. I'm less less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less, I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm less. I'm th. I'm less. I'm th. I'm th. I though with my money. I put my money in the stock market just so that it appreciates my bank account more. Then when my money comes back to my bank account, it's like, Yo, Trev, I'm never going to talk shit about this ever again, man.

Coming to you from the heart of Times Square in New York City, the only city in America. It's the playoffs in overtime, Tick Tocks, new villain, and Jay Shetty. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah, and joining me for today's headlines is our very own, Desi Lydic. What's going on, Desi, I've missed you. Thank you. You know, I'm making the most of my January. Yeah? Yeah. I'm doing dry January, actually.

And I feel great. I feel really good. It's hard. But, you know, I'm just like drinking a ton of water, dropping a little LSD every night, taking the edge off. So far I feel awesome. The whole point I think is to, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm th. I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th. I'm th, I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thin, I'm thi, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi. I'm doing ta''a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, I'm doing thi, you know what, good for you Desi. Thank you. Thank you. I'm really proud. Completely sober. All right, let's jump right into today's headlines. We kick things off with the NFL.

The sport's so good, we totally forgot about the brain damage. Now this weekend had some absolutely crazy NFL playoff games. I mean, football hasn't seen anything this exciting since that Super Bowl where the Patriots accidentally took on a puppy bowl team. You remember that? Yo, those puppies got blown out! 5217. And for all four games this weekend,

if you didn't stick around till the very end, you basically missed the entire thing. There may have never been another playoff weekend, like the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the entire thing. There may have never been another playoff weekend, like the one that you saw this weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills capped off one of the wildest weekends of football of all time, with all four games decided on the final play. Remarkable!

The Chiefs and Bill scored a combined 25 points over the final two minutes of regulation with the lead changing three times. He might be gone. He the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one. He is. He is. He is. the one the one the one the one the one the one. the one the one th. th. tho. tho. thoffic. thi. thoffic. thi. thi. the thi. The the the th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. The th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the the thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the te. the the the the the the the the the. the the the. the the lead changing three times. He might be gone. He is. Buffalo went ahead with 13 seconds remaining after Josh Allen's fourth touchdown pass of the game, all of them to Gabriel Davis. Down the middle to the end zone and there it is. But Patrick Mahomes led the chiefs down the field to set up a 49 yard field goal to send the game into overtime. Kansas City won the coin toss and marched downfield. Mahomes connected with Travis Kelsey to secure their spot in the AFC championship game. To the end zone. For the win! He caught it! Yes, he caught it! Did you see that? Oh man, he caught it! That was so great to see. And it's also so great to hear someone say he caught it

and it's not about Omercron. Wow! For real, guys, that game, it was incredible. It was incredible. It was incredible. It was incredible. I was so amped up. I had troubled to the to people who need to go to sleep, you know, they should like maybe always air a New York Jets game afterwards

Just to help you relax, you know, yeah Oh, and you know what else they need to do in the NFL? They need to get rid of the sudden death rule, okay? Like if one team scores the other team should have game in overtime thinking this is the most exciting part of the game. Oh I hope it ends soon. And also to base the possession on a coin flip. Who came up with this? It's not fair. It's archaic. Instead of a coin they should switch to crypto. Yeah, both teams get a bitcoin and then whichever side can explain why it's not a scam they're they they they's think that's more fair. Although, honestly, I think this game shouldn't have even gone into overtime. You're telling me that the bill's defense couldn't have held on for 13 seconds?

Thirteen seconds? I've had farts that last longer than that. And yeah, smart guy, I have seen a doctor about it, and yeah, he does have some serious concerns, but that's not the point. You know, I will say this. I think you can accomplish a lot in 13 seconds. Thirteen seconds is a great amount of time. It's a right amount of time that you should spend with your kid every day. It's exactly the amount of time that the CDC says you should wash your hands. It's exactly the amount of time time time time time time time time time time time time time thiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thii. thi. thi, thi, thi should spend before sending a tweet out? Like thinking about it?

Yeah, like you'd be surprised how much you could do in 13 seconds, don't you think? I don't think I've ever changed my mind about something in 13 seconds. Well, I don't know. You could. the coin flip thing I'm with you on though. Yeah, right? Does not belong in football. It could thooo. . th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi.a.augh, thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I other things. Like, I did flip a coin to figure out which vaccine I should take.

It was like heads, I do Pfizer. Tails, I do Moderna. If the coin drops into the sewer, I do J and J. So. I got Pfizer, but it really could have gone in a different system, to do it in a different direction system. Oh, all right. Let's move on to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to to a to a to a to a to to a to a to a tooe tien, I tiefia, I that, I tiefia, I tiex. tiex. tiex. tiex. I thae, I do a tiexx. I do tiefia, I do tiefi. 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, tien, tien, tiefiefiefiefiefiefiefe. tiefe. tiefe. tiefe. tiefe. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. figure out a different system for doing stuff like that. Oh, all right, let's move on to a team that hopefully has a better defense than the bills. Ukraine.

For months now, thens have been building on the border of Ukraine as Russia has sent 100,000 troops to the region. And now, it's looking like war could break out at any time. With Russian troops massing along Ukraine's northern, southern, and eastern borders, Europe now teetering on the brink of war. U.S. officials ordering the evacuation of family members of U.S. embassy staff in Ukraine. The order comes as tensions mount in the region, with some fearing a Russian invasion could come at any time, despite consistent denials by the Kremlin.

Now the New York Times reporting that President Biden is weighing, sending thousands of U.S. troops, and aircraft to Eastern Europe, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reaffirming U.S. support for the Ukrainian government. If a single additional Russian force goes into Ukraine in an aggressive way, as I said, that, that would would would would would would would would would that would would would would that would would that would that would that would that would that would that would thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, the the the the the thi, the their coi, the consi, their consi, despite, despite, despite the consonsonsonsonsonsons, despite the consonsonsonsonsonsonsonsonsonsonsons, despite, despite, despite, despite, the Ukrainian governments. If a single additional Russian force goes into Ukraine in an aggressive way, as I said, that would trigger a swift, a severe, and a united response from us and from Europe. Yeah, you heard the man, Russia better not enter Ukraine in an aggressive way. But if the whole army just kind of shimmies in though, that would be kind of cute. We'll let that slide. Excuse me, excuse me, coming to the whole army just kind of shimmies in, though, that would be kind of cute. You know, we'll let that slide. Excuse me, excuse me, coming to the country, coming to the country, please.

And look, those are strong words from America's Secretary of State. But if I'm a Ukrainian, probably going to hedge my bets. You know, I'll look at what this war could just about Ukraine by the way. Many countries, many countries are worried about what this war could mean for the entire region. Hell, even for the entire world. It could spiral out into a bigger war, like World War III. And personally, I don't think America's ready to fight Russia over Ukraine. I mean, America's been fighting brown people. Doesn't even remember how to fight white people? At least Ukraine has time to prepare, though. That's the thing about war these days.

The elements of surprise is gone. And you've got a satellite, you see them, 100,000 Russians at your border. Back in the old days, you could launch a surprise attack. But now, you send troops to the Russian army is causing slowdowns on your route, so you probably want to avoid the freeway. The thing I don't get is why Russia even wants Ukraine so badly. Like, what do you want? Have you seen a map of Russia? Just go to Siberia. There's a Ukraine-sized piece of land with one guy living on it. You don't even have to fight Ukraine. You can just fight Demetri. I know why Russia is doing this. They're doing it because we're in between James Bonds right now.

I mean who's going to stop Russia if it's not for having one British alcoholic guy. We got to pick a bond. I would have never thought of that as being the reason. But it's true, we are bondless. We're bondless. It's not that hard. we've got to pick someone. I think it is hard, I mean. There's so many of them.

Well, yeah, but we got a lot of great choices. You just Elba? Yeah? You could do it. You could do it. No, I couldn't. Yes, you could. I don't like vodka. Well, you can fake it, though. It's a part. It's an acting role. You can do it.

I saw that shimmy. You can't fake drinking vodka. Because when you drink it, like it's stool, you taste it and then you, like I throw up. Try a little LSD. You could be a dry bond, but then replace it with LSD. Oh, I like that. I'll call your agents. Thank you, Desi. You're welcome.

I'll take my LSD shaken? We'll workshop it. We'll work good on. Okay, let's move on from a war that might never start to one that never ends. The battle over COVID vaccines. After what shoes should Eminems wear? Asking whether vaccines are good is literally the dumbest thing people can fight about. But they are fighting. And yesterday, thousands of people held a rally in

Washington, D.C. to hear why vaccine mandates are worse than Hitler. In the nation's capital Sunday, demonstrators gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, many voicing opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine, others protesting vaccine mandates. Among the speakers, Robert Kennedy, son of the late New York senator and attorney general Robert F. Kennedy. What we're saying today is what I call turnkey totalitarianism. They are putting in place all of these technical, technological mechanisms for control. We've never seen before. Even in Hitler, Germany, you could, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland.

You can hide in an attic like Anne Frank did. Yeah, the man is right, who could argue? No one ever talks about how good Anne Frank had it. Free room and board, all the time in the world to write to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, all the to write, all the the the the the the the the the the their their, all all all their, all all all all all their, all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all to, to to to to to to to to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, to write, 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 man is right. Who could argue? No one ever talks about how good Anne Frank had it. Free room and board, all the time in the world to write. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I will say though crazy is relative, because RFK may be saying wild shit about the Holocaust, but half the people he's talking to don't even believe the Holocaust happened. Yeah, just standing there like, Anne Frank didn't realize this guy was such a th. thiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. th. the. the. th. th. the. thi. thi. thi. ththere like, Aunt Frank, didn't realize this guy was such a liberal. Huh? My God, it's like every family has that one loose cannon, like just a total embarrassment. Every family has that. Although I have to say, I don't think there's one in my family.

Everyone is pretty normal, not like one major embarrassment. So, oh my God, am I the embarrassment? No. Am I the one? No. Oh, God, I'm the Chet Hanks. Oh, shit. So I better not put out that rap video.

My patoil was getting so good. Delete it. Anyway. I'm sorry you found that out on TV, Desi. Are we on TV? All right, finally, let's talk about movie trailers. It's a question I ask myself all the time, to be honest. All right, and finally, let's talk about movie trailers.

They're the free sample that the the theater hands out so that hopefully you'll buy the whole movie. Normally trailers are a simple thing that we watch and then we move on with our lives. But now, some people are very upset about a trailer that promised more than it could deliver. Well, two fans of actress Anna Day Armas have filed a federal class action lawsuit against Universal. They say the actress was not in the final cut of the movie yesterday, although she appeared in the trailer.

The suit accuses Universal of engaging in decepted marketing techniques, false advertisement, unjust enrichment and violating competition laws. The suit seeks to recover at least $5 million. Hell yeah! Give these people there five million dollars! Give it to them! This shit drives me crazy, man. Let me tell you something.

This happens all the time, and nobody does anything about this. They have trailers that have nothing to do with the movie. Just put things in, and thing with like car windows. He's got like a pair of squeegees, but that doesn't happen in the movie. Never happens. The whole movie movie, I was waiting for it, never happened. I even set through the credits to see if like it comes afterwards. Nothing. I mean Samuel Jackson came out and he recruited everyone for the Avengers but otherwise nothing about the car windows. That's the problem with movie. That's the problem with movie they all the the the the the the the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie the movie thoom. T. Trown. T. Tr-upe. Tr-up. I'll all th. I'll all th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was was th. I I th. I I I th. I th. I I th. I I the movie th. I the movie th. I the movie th. I the movie the movie trown. I'll all all all all all all all trown. I'll trown. I'm te. I'm te. I'm te. I'm te te te te te te te. I'm te. I'm te. I'm te. They're either showing me the stuff that's not in the movie, or they're showing me the entire movie. First, they fell in love, but then they broke up,

but then they reunited on the Eiffel Tower. That's the big finale. You never see it coming, except we just showed it to you, so you will, That's it. I will say at the same time, though, $5 million is a big penalty. I don't know if the movie studio should have paid $5 million for this. Like I think it would be enough to just give them a free popcorn at the next movie. But make it a large popcorn because the lawyers, they're going to take two-thirds of it. Yeah, it's how law works.

But there should be some punishment for lying to your audience about who's in your movie. Can't just get away with that. Or if there's no punishment then fine. But then I should get to do it too. Yeah, make sure to stick around for my exclusive interview with the ghost of Princess Diana coming up next. I feel like if we're going to sue movie trailers for anything it should be for destroying our favorite childhood songs. They always like put in some creepy, slowed-down version of a kid's song.

Like, yeah, right? They're like, ring around the rosy. I'm like, great. Thanks for ruining my favorite childhood song of people dying in the plague. Destroyed it forever. They're like from the creators of Saw, it's head, shoulders, knees and toes. Crazy. It's awful. You better hope they don't reboot Jaws. It'll be like baby shark do doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo. That song became very creepy when you sang it slow, actually.

I know, right? Tried getting that out of your head for the rest of the day. Just like someone walking through, if someone was singing that at night in my house, really like, do, do, do, do, do, do, that. That's terrifying, actually. Yeah, I got to have nightmares about it. It could be the LSD, but... You should, you, never, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, that, thu, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. That, th. That, th. That, thi, thi, that, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that, that, that, that, that, that, it. It could be the LSD, but... You should...

Never mind. All right, when we come back, we'll talk about West Elm Caleb and why social media is the best place to hash out your drama. You don't want to miss it. You don't want to miss it. Did you guys see this thing about West Elm Caleb? Has anybody seen this story? It's a huge story that like it has, it blew up, it's weird. It started on Tick Tock and then it got bigger and it went from it went from Tick Tock to like tabloids and then from tabloids it went to like newspapers and like, you know,

the New York Times and everyone wrote about it. The long and short of the story is, there's a woman on TikTok who posted a story about a bad date that she had with a guy named Caleb. Then other women saw that video and they thought she was talking about another Caleb and then they were like, oh yeah we met Caleb and she's like, well not that Caleb, but they were like, but what is, who, this Caleb is a dick. What he did was he took me on a date, and then went on a bunch of dates with me, and then ghosted me and disappeared.

And then, I don't know if one of the women or the other one was like, he also sent unsolicited dick picks. And this became happened was, like, one of the women's videos went really viral, and she put up Caleb's face and his name and everything. So people tracked him down, found his workplace, started threatening West Elm, like about like furniture and shit and him.

And then, like, he's gone now. The guys like basically had to go deep undercover. He's just gone. He's a six foot four white boy named Caleb and he's gone. And he had to disappear. And this became a huge story in line because people were like, yeah, he got what he deserved. You know, this is terrible what he did to to women and whatever. And I was going, I was watching the story of all over the weekend and you know what was going through my head, well first of all I was thinking like it's amazing how much coverage he got from gosting. He didn't do anything like super bad

from what the people are saying. The unsolicited dick picks we'll talk about obviously that's bad. But I'm saying he just ghosted and then the guy's viral on every newspaper in the country and all I kept thinking was the Uyghurs in China they should ghost someone. I've never seen them get this much coverage. Yeah, just like ghost a few people and then all of a sudden everyone's gonna be talking about you, you know? But it was wild to me that like this thing became such a big story considering it was like a private date and a private conversation, and don't get it true. I'm not binaina' their their their th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not thr-I'm not thr-I'm not thrusting. I'm not thrusting. I'm not thrusting. I'm not thrusting. I'm not thi. I'm thi. I'm not thrusting. I'm thi. I'm just like, thi. I'm just like, th thi. I's just like, their just just just just just just just just just just just, th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their thi. thi, their thi. the thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. the thi. the thr-I's just just just just, thr-I'm just, thr-a''eananan. their you're their you're just, thr-a''eanan. Just who went on dates for anything. It's like a commentary on the culture that we live in. Do you know what I mean? But I, I felt like, I don't know if I was the only person,

I was going, have we lost the ability to go on bad dates? Is that not a thing anymore? Because I go like, if you have a date with a bad, if you, if you, if you have, if you have, if you upset about it, right, and you should be able to talk about it. I mean, you should be able to roast, like if you went on a date with a shit guy, roast him all you want. Like, that's in the Constitution, I think. The whole point of dating is so that you can talk shit about bad dates. Like that's why you go on dates is because you want to dates, because you want to to to get to get to get to get to get the stories to get the stories the stories to get the stories to get the stories the stories the stories the stories the stories to get the stories the stories the stories the stories to get the stories to get to find love. That's boring. You know what? Love is like what you want at the end,

but you want the bad date stories along the way. That's why you're dating. Otherwise, you just do an arranged marriage. Then you just go straight in, no stories. You know what I'm saying? But now they're sharing them on social media, going like, oh, this is what happened to me personally in my life. And then social media jumps on because the algorithm takes the story,

which is like a funny story, because I should also include, the woman who had like one of the most vital videos, she came out of this and she's like, oh, I didn't want Caleb to get death threats, I thought I was just telling a funny story to people on TikTok, which she was. But then the algorithm goes like, ah, conflict, you know, it's like the conflict monster. And then it put it out to the world and then the world was like we don't see anything funny. Caleb must die. They're like West Elm Caleb must die. They're like West Elm Caleb. Everyone, which is thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the 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, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the thei, thei. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, his thing. Tabloids, everyone was like, West Elm Caleb. West Alm Caleb! Everyone, which is shitty in my opinion.

I do not know West Elm Caleb. I do not care for him. He's some random six-foot-four white boy. I don't care. But maybe that's part of the reason it's fashionable to dunk on him, because he's a straight white white white white white white white white white white white white white, he's a yeah, get him. But I still go, he's a human being. We haven't heard his side of the story, and people can just shit on him. And I don't think it's fair. I genuinely don't think it's fair.

That like, internet mobs just jump on you like this. And then your job? This shit went to his job. Imagine now your busses there. And good sales tha. The streets are saying you're a fuck boy. No one deserves that. And West Elm doesn't deserve this. These poor people are trying to sell furniture. Next thing the phones are ringing off the hook.

They must be like, oh shit, the ads are working. And they pick up the phone. Hello? What? No, no, I won't forward your bumm to Caleb. Thank you. And it's like, this this this this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story this story story this story story story this story story story this story story story story this story story story story story this story story story story this story story story story this story story story this story story story the story thank you. And it's like, this story for me was like the perfect encapsulation of all the things that are great about social media, but then also are the downsides of social media. And part of it was a lot of the language that people were using, because they were saying

what Caleb does because apparently he sent some of the women the same playlist that he sent the other women, but he called them different names. And so they were like, oh, he's gaslighting us. I was like, no, that's just recycling game. You know what I mean? That's, most people have limited game. I don't know why everyone thinks they're fancy. Most people, everything you think that's unique about a person, they've done to everybody else that they've met..... th, thoned, thoned, thoned, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I's thi, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I's like, I's, I's like, I's, 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's thi.. I's thi. I's like, I's thi, I's like, I's like, I've like, I've like, I've thi, I'm like, I'm like, thin, thin, that, that, that, thi. thi. thi. th that, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I. Well, is it just me or are you, yeah you've done this many times. There's nothing spontaneous about anybody. They've done all the shit that you've met them doing. Every sexual position, every everything. Do you know what I mean? They're not gaslighting you. And then they were saying he's love bombing, which if I understand correctly means he was like, like, he thii. thi. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi, thi's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi th is th is th is th is th is th is th th th th th th th th th th th th is th is th is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's thi's thi's thi's thi's thick at the beginning and then just disappeared afterwards. So he was like, oh, I like you, I like you,

I like you, texting, texting, texting, then he disappeared and they were like, that's love bombing. And here's the thing, I'm glad that people are going to therapy. I'm going to therapy,. I think this is human nature. We get obsessed with a thing when it's new. We love using it, and that's it. When I was young, my mom bought me a fire truck. I drove the shit out of that fire truck like the whole house was burning for a week. And then I didn't use the fire truck.

My mom didn't come and be like, you're And then they're like, this is abuse. This is a form of abuse. Look, man, I take abuse really seriously. I think we all should, you know? But I don't think all rejection is abuse. Life is about getting rejected. Unfortunately, for everyone to get a yes, someone had to get a no. Every one of us here. The fact that you are in a relationship with someone is because other people people people people people rejected you. That's the only reason we get there. Life is about rejection. People have a right

to reject you. It's shit, but they have a right to reject you. You know, all of these things. It's like people, it's like now we're living in a world where people are like, oh no I, I don't have a right to not feel good. No, that's, I don't want you to not feel good, but people have a right to reject you. In fact, ghosting is not as bad as people think, because the person is sending you a message by not sending you a message. You know what I mean? I've never been ghosted and been like, but how do they feel about me? That's what they're telling you. You're like, I don't know how they feel about.

The only people who don't understand ghosting is thah is thia is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is ghost ghost is their is ghost is ghost is ghost is ghost is their is ghost is their is ghost is ghost is ghost is who don't understand ghosting is those automatic services that text you. Then they say, reply, stop. If you want to stop getting these messages, please reply, stop, you know? So I don't know, I think it was unfair for West Elm Caleb. Because look, I get what that woman was doing. She was telling a funny story online. I don't th don't th don't th don't th th th th th think th think th think th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin thi thi thin thi thi 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. the. the. the. the. the. theat theat theuu. theu. theat theu. the and it'll be just as funny without telling. You could even call him furniture boy. I think that's a great name. Furniture boy. Great. But then I think as society as well, we need to calm down with just being these like,

you know, we're not even like detectives. We just jump into viral mobs. know the full story, all we know is that strangers are having drama and then before you know it we just decide to insert ourselves and I always think to myself before you insert yourself in any drama like this, ask yourself if that's what you would want strangers doing to you. Just ask yourself that question. That's just my opinion on it, you know. And please, I know people I'm not talking about the dick picks. Just to be clear, I'm not including that.

Unsolicited dick picks are never okay. Never okay. Dick picks in general, people. I don't know why anyone is sending dick picks. Right? They're not cool. Do you know what I mean? Like, have you ever seen seen a statue of David? Even there, Michelangelo was like, giant statue, dick? No, I'm just, he's like, you don't want this thing now. Dicks are not like, they're not cool. No one's day has ever

made better by an unexpected dick pick, you know? No one's ever like, yeah I was really depressed but then I saw Barry's dick and I thought you know what everything's gonna be okay like if a woman wants to see your dick she will ask you for a picture or She'll watch euphoria It's like a dick a minute in that show which is great don't send your dick nobody nobody's days made better by you randomly sending them your dick you've seen penises you look like depressed old men. I don't want to see your dick. So yeah, that's Westdown K. Oh, by the way, did I tell you about the dates I. My guest tonight is Mindfulness expert, Jay Shetty. He's here to talk about his new partnership

with the meditation app, calm. Jay Shetty. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thanks for having me. Many people. And I know this guy. I know him from having conversations with Oprah or with Ellen. You very quickly have become the face of, I mean, thaugh, to to to to to to to to to to be, to to be, to be, to be, to to be, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, too, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their mary.......e.e.mea, ta, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, ta, mea, their meditita, their me mea, their m, I mean, calm for many people, you know? And you've talked about thinking like a monk,

your New York Times best-selling book. So I wanted to know this, number one, what does a monk think like? I know it's in a whole book. What does a monk think like? And secondly, when was the last time you got angry? So one of the first things that I realized when I trynakes tryn that monks are very normal. We're all normal people. They come from normal backgrounds. They weren't born monks, like you don't come out of the womb as a monk. And so a

big part of that was learning new mindsets. So we were on a 72-hour train journey from the north of India to the south of India. Now as a monk you don't travel in first class, you don't travel in economy, you travel in the lowest class possible. So we're on the train. Wait, why? Because you're trying to have as least attachment to your surroundings. And least least desires. Now I stop at the different stops, I get off and I meditate and I get back on the train. And my teace, and my the tea, ta, ta, train, train, train, train, train, train, train, train, the train, the the train, the the train, the the the train, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, because their, their, their, because try, try, try, try. try. try. try. train, why train, why train, why train, why tr-s, why tr-s, why, why, why, why, trys, trys, trye, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, you not meditating on the train? And he said, well, I said, it's so hectic on the train, but the stop is peaceful.

So I get up at the stop, I do my meditation and I get back on. And he said, do you think life is peaceful like the stop? Or is it difficult like the train? Or is it difficult like the train. He said, well, that's where you practice how to meditate. Oh wow. So that's how monks think.

Monks think, how can we be in the chaos? Okay. Be in the Christmas gift I wanted. This is the opposite. It's totally the opposite. What would your monk teacher say about that? Oh, they'd be very, very disappointed. Okay.

Okay. So this is an interesting life? You know, like, don't most monks go like, I don't want for anything, I don't need anything, no attachment, and that's it weird. It feels like you've gone opposite, you've gone monk, but then I also don't mind bawling. Yeah, so most of my friends are still monks, and a lot of them have continued to be lifelong monks. And for me it was a purpose. the thoe, thap, thap, think, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thus, thus, to to to to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the thi, the thi, the the the thi.a.a.a.a, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooan, toean, toean, th we were trained was that the greatest gift or the greatest focus of a human

is how can I serve others? How can I best help others and serve others? And so when I shared this doubt that I had with my teachers, they said to me, Jay, we feel the same way. we feel that you'd better serve if you were to move on. I think that was that was of saying, we can thrown you out. Yeah, that seems like an essay. It's not you, it's me, it's like a relationship breaker. But they agreed with me, and now when I still go and study with my teachers,

or I meet with them, or I trav with them, it's really beautiful to see how they've their their the allow me to be my true self and allow me to serve in that way. And I think that's what we're all looking for. We're looking to be accepted for who we truly are, to accept ourselves. But to use what we've been given to serve and help others. Let's talk a little bit about the calm app then. I think we all want to become more present present more more more more more more the present more the the the the to be more the the to be more the the to be more the to become more the to be more to be more the the to be more to be more the to be less to be less to be more to be less the to be to be to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less to be less 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 to be the world and the world and the world and the world and the world and the world and the world And then you get apps on your phone that are helping you

to disconnect from your phone and find the calm. Like there is a paradox in that and you're teaming up with calm now to essentially curate experiences around mindfulness. Is that in and of itself not a paradox? Are we not living in a world where you should be going like no phones? I'm just going to email you guys something that you can read once and then you're going to know how to meditate. It's a massive paradox. I mean, Trevor, if you're ready to come with me to India tomorrow and we're going to pack our bags three months, not use our phones, we'll do a little retreat together. I'm in. I would do that if you people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people can't just leave. They can't just stop. Everyone has bills to pay, everyone has lives to lead, everyone has children or family,

whatever it may be. So I think we have to meet people where they are. And to me, that's what the apps do. You're meeting someone where they are in a world that they understand, in a world that they can contextualize. And if we can create a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform a platform 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 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 their thea. tomf. tomf. tomf. tome. tome. tome. thau. thau. tha.s. ta.s.s. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. day, you're using your phone to invest in yourself, You're using your phone to take time for yourself, then I think that's a great starting point. And that's what it is. What do you think the biggest misconception around meditation is?

I think the biggest misconception around meditation is that you have to change what you're wearing, you have to change where you're sitting, and that you have to silence the mind. I think people are trying to quiet their mind. They're trying to stop everything from happening. And meditation is not about stopping, it's about observing. It's about sitting with, it's about understanding, it's about being curious. You now live in, I mean, the heart of capitalism. It's the exact opposite of what you did for three years in India in in in in in in in in in inthere's money to be made. There's a balance between giving a thing and getting a thing in return. I even think about this with meditation and therapy sometimes. I go, it's amazing that the thing most people need the most

is the thing that you have to pay for. So, like, how do you balance that conund can only be for something in exchange. Yeah, one of the biggest things that I've definitely tried to do and that's why the partnership with calm is awesome is we've tried to provide the service at scale. So right now if you sign up, you can sign up for $42 for the whole year. So that's like $3.5 a month. Okay. Right. Like that's the true desire. But the way I grapple with that is, I really enjoy being in the battle and realizing how weak I am,

and seeing my ego arise, seeing my attachment of money come through, and then having to process it and work on it, rather than be so removed that I believe I'm pure. So I'd rather be reminded of my flaws and impuritiesies and impto grapple with that on a daily basis to make me hold on to higher ideals, than be so far removed from them that I walk around feeling like I've conquered my mind, but in reality I haven't. So I really enjoyed that paradox. Man. It is quite the paradox. I could talk to you for hours about this, but thank you so much for joining me on the show. Thank you, congratulations on all th.
