Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. North Korea. Voted Korea of the year by North Korea magazine for the past three decades. A few years ago, most people thought the only way the world was going to end was if North Korea's dictator decided to kick off a nuclear apocalypse. But since then, we've all learned that there are actually many ways the world could end. It could be a global pandemic. It could be Russia starting a world war. It could be Apple letting you edit eye messages. I didn't say
Starting point is 00:00:36 that. So obviously people haven't been paying as much attention to North Korea lately, which is probably why Kim Jong-un has decided to remind us that he still exists. We're going to turn to North Korea, launching a new round of missile tests, the regime, firing off eight rockets over the weekend in the U.S. and South Korea launching missiles in a show of force. The U.S. and South Korea sent eight surface missiles into the sea. That's after North Korea did the same just hours earlier. There is no direct communication that we know of between the Biden administration
Starting point is 00:01:10 and the North Korean regime. So instead, both sides seem to be communicating through missile launches. Huh. The US and North Korea are communicating using missile launches. That's adorable. It really is. It's so different. Missile, missile, you up?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Missile, missile. Nuh. No, for real. It actually sounds like a couple that really needs therapy. You know, it's just like, and what do you do when she shuts you out? I launch missiles. And what are we supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:01:42 Talk to the UN. You know, people say that black people and white people can't get along, but I don't know what hope there is in the world if North and South Korea can't even get along. Yeah, they're both Korean looking at the other one like, these, Feeh-Koreans, man! And you know who I feel really bad for? Those missiles. Yeah, the missiles that were shot that were shot. Because think about it, they think they have a specific purpose to blow up in glorious combat, but then they just end up being used for a show.
Starting point is 00:02:12 It was hurt their feelings. It's like being a condom that gets put on a banana for sex head class. I was meant for greater things, damn it, I want to be serious for a moment here. Because let me get this straight. North Korea and South Korea and the United States are now launching missile after missile into the ocean, but I'm not allowed to use plastic straws, huh? Is that right? I'm out here trying to do my part using a straw that dissolves the second I put it into my drink
Starting point is 00:02:47 The second I put it in! It's gone! I don't even know what I'm drinking any. What are you having, Trevor? Oh, a tequila paper machet. Yeah, I saved the turtle, the one that got shot by a ballistic missile. Well what does the ocean have to do with our beef, huh? Those creatures are down there just trying to live their lives. They don't need to deal with missiles from human conflicts. Can you imagine what it's like for them? Ariel, life is better under the sea. We roll in the waves. The fish swim in the seaweed.
Starting point is 00:03:29 We're, ah, oh no, oh no, everybody's dead. Everybody's dead. The fish are all dead under the sea. Ariel don't got no legs or a head. And the worst part is having my accent makes me sound jolly, even when I'm not. This is where I wish I was from Germany. This accent doesn't convey the tragedy
Starting point is 00:03:52 of this terrible crime that's happened under the sea. But enough about those North Korean missile strikes. There are bigger threats here at home people that we need to deal with. And yes, I'm talking about the danger of trans children playing sports, which luckily lawmakers in Ohio are ready to take a really hard look at. So as we enter Pride Month, the GOP controlled Ohio State Legislature passing one of the most extreme transports bands we've seen to date. That bill, including a shocking provision that calls for examining the genitals of female athletes who are, quote, accused of being trans. The proposed rules would prohibit any trans girl from competing with cisgender girls. It also has a verification requirement if somebody is accused of being trans.
Starting point is 00:04:53 The bill says if someone is suspected to be trans, she must go through evaluations of her external and internal genitalia, testosterone levels, and genetic makeup. Yeah, that's right, America. You asked lawmakers to protect your kids from guns, and they said, we got you, we're going to look at your kid's genitals. I feel like there was a miscommunication there. Because which one do you think is more traumatizing to your kid? Honest question? What do you think is more the race, and then having to get probed by a doctor to see if their genitals are what,
Starting point is 00:05:27 the right size? Because it's bad enough to target trans girls, but you understand this law actually targets all girls, right? Or at least all the girls who are too good at the sport. Yeah, because you know how this is going to be weaponized to win a game. It's only a matter of time before a softball pitcher strikes out three girls in a row and then a parent's gonna rush the field like genital check! No way she's throwing 95 with two X chromosomes! No ways! Show me that B. Dad? Who are they going to find to do these examinations? Who's even going to do this?
Starting point is 00:06:05 What, every dude wearing one of those female body inspected t-shirts? Are they going to be drafted into service now? No, it was just a joke. I don't actually have any training in this area. So obviously you understand why there's backlash to this bill. In fact, some doctors in Ohio are saying that they refuse They refuse to investigate children's genitals as part of this law. Yeah, which is good, but I mean, I also don't agree with it. You know, if they wanted to stand back and do nothing to keep our kids safe, then they should have become police officers. All right, finally.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Too true?too true? Too real? All right, finally, as you may know, a couple of weeks from now, America will be celebrating Juneteenth. The holiday commemorating the end of slavery. Or as Tucker Carson would put it, the day millions of African Americans became unemployed. Is that progress? Anyway, because Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, more people are
Starting point is 00:07:07 celebrating than ever before. The only problem is, not everyone knows the best way to celebrate. Walmart is under fire for selling Juneteenth products that some people say are tone-deaf and insensitive. The products have been lambasted by many online after pictures of Juneteenth ice cream and party supplies surfaced. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is apologizing after backlash to a Juneteenth food item in its cafeteria. The museum offered the Juneteenth watermelon salad. The museum released a statement saying in part, as a museum we apologize and acknowledge the negative impact that stereotypes have on communities of color.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Oh, this shit pisses me off so much. How are you going to make a Juneteenth ice cream? Huh? I hope they took it all off the shelves and they got rid of it. In fact, I don't trust them. I hope they send it here to the daily show and I'll deal with it personally. Oh, every single one of those ice. And any other ideas they have ice cream, they better send them here. What a random mistake? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:08:09 What are you doing? You know, apart from the watermelon black people stereotypes, it's amazing to me how America does this. Like, they turn every meaningful holiday into an excuse to spend money. Like, that's part of the problem. thiiiiiiiiiiiolk, thiolome thiolome thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, that's part of the problem here. You don't need to sell things for Dunef. Juneteenth wasn't even a mainstream thing last year. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 But now already, they've turned it into a day of merch. And look, I mean, I'm not hating. You know, we do it too here on the show. Yeah, I mean, we do it too, too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too, too, 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. too. too. to to to to to to to to. to to. to to to. to. to. to. to. to you by Taco Bell's brand new flaming Juneteenth Corditas. Taco Bell, emancipate your taste bars. Language. Like when I say the word Turkey, what do you think of? Probably a big bird that people eat while arguing with their family about whether or not gender is a spectrum, right? Yeah? Well the country of Turkey knows that's what you think about when you hear their name and they're sick of that shit. The country of Turkey is ready to change its name.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Officials have notified the United Nations asking that the country be referred to as Turkey a, the way it's spelled and pronounced in Turkish. It's a way to disassociate its name from the bird and negative connotations that sometimes come with it. The official request follows the release of an ad campaign promoting the new name. Hey, Mom, I just landed. Oh, hello, Turkey, Yeah. Hello, Turkey.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Hello, Turkey Yeh! Turkey yay! Hey! Turkey yay! I like this. I'm willing, I'm willing to start saying Turkey-A. I don't mind. But I refuse to use those little dots over the U, all right? And this has nothing to do with Turkey and everything to do with drawing a line for how many keyboards I'm willing to have on my phone.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I'm already three keyboards deep. I've got emoji keyboards, I've got my gift keyboard, then my symbols keyboard, then a secret symbols keyboard, behind that keyboard, now I gotta add another keyboard. So I can type a U with the dust and make it look like it's staring at me. It's too much! It's too much, turkey, A. And I know what some of you are saying right now. You're like, Trave, you don't you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't you, you don't the the the the U-K, yeah, but it's about the extra effort. If you use your thumbs too much, they're going to bulk up. I'm trying to get mine long and slender for the summer, baby.
Starting point is 00:10:28 That's right. So I'll say Turkey A, but you're going to help me help you. And not the U brand associated with an animal that people don't even like that much. I mean, if you're going to get mistaken for a bird, at least let it be a bird with some flavor, some juice. You know? Like if their country was named Spicy chicken sandwich,
Starting point is 00:10:56 they wouldn't be changing anything. I will say turkey, yeah. I will say turkish, Turkey, yeah. Turkey should just know this though. Just because they got the UN to agree on this doesn't mean that people are actually gonna start calling them Turkey yay. It's not that easy. Trust me, I know this. Back in middle school, I tried to get everyone to call me Trevolva. Yeah, and they just laughed like me. Trevolva, no way is stupid, forget it.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Let's move on. Wait, did someone say it was cool? No? Okay. I just thought I heard someone say it is a cool. Because it could, no? All right, still no. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I actually think this is a good idea. You know what? A lot of countries, thi to to to to update, to update, to update, to update, to update, to update, to update, to update, to to to to to tooom. too? too? the thiiii! thi! thoom. thoom. thoom. to thoom. thi. thoom.

It tho. tho. this isn't the United States of America? Let's be honest. It's more like the states that barely put up with each other of America. Yeah? Every country, like Greece makes it sound messy, but it's not. Hungary. What if they've eaten? Huh? Yeah? Niger. Well, you need to change that name to be safe. You just need to change that name to be safe. I bet you right now. They're losing a tonnene of t t ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton to to to to to to the the the to the the the the the the the the their their their thoes their that name to be safe. You just need to change that name to be safe. I bet you right now, they're losing a ton of white people tourism. Because there's a lot of white people who are too nervous to type that into Expedia. It's just like, I'm heading to NIG. You know what, I'm just going to Paris.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I'm just going to Paris. I don't just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th.

I'm just to to to to to thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. I'm just the. I'm just. I'm just going to Paris. I don't want any trouble here. I'm just going to Paris. But let's move on to some other international news. Because while Turkey is changing its name, Russia has spent the past three months trying to change Ukraine's name to Russia Junior. But Ukraine isn't the only country suffering from Russia's invasion. Yeah, what many people might not know is that Ukraine is one of the world's top producers of grain. But as part of its invasion, Russia is blocking Ukraine's ports and intercepting the grain.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So now, the world is facing a grain shortage, which Russia is taking advantage of. The U.S. is given out about 14 countries, a heads up, about stolen Ukrainian grain. U.S. officials say that Russia stole grain from Ukraine and alerted these other countries, mainly in Africa, that Russia will probably sell it. Policy experts say, faced with starvation, most countries in the area likely won't hesitate to buy from Russia. The director of one African think tank told the New York Times, quote, this is not a dilemma. Africans don't care where they get their food from.
Starting point is 00:13:27 And if someone is going to moralize about that, they are mistaken. Okay, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, woe. I get what you're saying, but Africans don't care where they get their food. Come on, don't afford to take the moral high ground because they need the food, but not just Africans don't care where they get their food from. It makes it sound like us Africans are just running around on the sidewalk grabbing people's brunches out of their plates. Just like, ha ha!
Starting point is 00:13:56 You did not got your briars, it's mine now, ha? And by the way, just in case you're wondering, Africans are going to use the grain to make like bread and shit, okay? These stories always make it sound like Africans are just going to eat the grain right out of the sack. Make it sound like that with us. It's just like, ah, we love this. Ah, put the green in my mouth. I know that's what they do. We cook.
Starting point is 00:14:25 This situation is really messed up. Not only is Russia stealing Ukraine's grain, they're causing a food shortage in the rest of the world, and then they're going to sell the grain to make up for the shortage that they're causing. And can we just take a moment to acknowledge how humiliating this is Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia, this Russia, this is, this, th Wea, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, is is, is, is, is their, is their, is their, is their, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi.i.i.i.i.i's tooooooomomorrow, is thi's thi's thi's thi.i.i, is their, is? When they started this invasion, Putin was like, our glorious army will conquer Ukraine for a new Russian empire. And now he's just like, okay, plan B, let's just rub this bitch, okay? We just got to steal. We just got to steal now.
Starting point is 00:14:56 We just got to steal now. Plan B. Yeah, you went from being all high and mighty, and now the dudes basically on the corner in Africa like, you want grain? You want grain? You want grain? I got grain? I also got the Rolex.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I got the Rolex. Just the good stuff. You want the grain? I got grain. I got grain. But let's move on from the war in Ukraine to the warvalde school shooting, Congress has been working hard to craft sensible gun safety measures that can be narrowly defeated at the last minute. But a lot of people are trying to make this time different.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I mean, just today, Matthew McConaughey, who's from Yvaldi, was at the White House pushing for reforms. Unfortunately, though, nobody really expects a lot to change. Now, that's where there is an upside the upside the upside the upside the upside there is an upside the upside the upside there is an upside the upside the upside the upside the upside the upside the upside the upside their is an upside their is their is their is a their is a their is a theirse. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, thi......... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. toe.e.e's where there is an upside to living in the states that barely put up with each other of America, right? And that is individual states can break off and pass their own gun laws, which is exactly what's happening right here in New York. New York bolstered its already tough gun laws. Some of the strictest in the nation, Governor Hockel signed a package of gun reform bills yesterday. Now among them, a measure that bans the sale of semi-automatic rifles to anybody under 21.
Starting point is 00:16:10 New buyers are also required to obtain a permit. Also, red flag laws are expanding. Body armor for civilians is outlawed, and ammo for semi-automatic handguns is required to be microstamped to make it easier to trace. Hulk celebrated the new laws in the Bronx. It just keeps happening. Shots ring out, flags come down and nothing ever changes. Except here in New York. Wow. Wow. This is so weird. A mass shooting happened and then politicians did something.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I didn't even know that that was possible. Yeah, it's like I showed up to McDonald's and the McFlerary machine is working. It's just... I don't even know how to react to this. Do I clap? Am I supposed to tip? What's a good tip for passing gun law? 10%? I'm sure it's 10%. You know what this feels like? This feels like when you're ready to argue with your partner and before you can say anything they, they they they they they they they they they th, and th, and th, and th, and th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho thi to 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 th th th th th thu thu thu thu thu thu tho the the the the the the the the the the the thu thooooooooooooooo to to to to to to to've got a throat full of screams and nothing to do with it. It's like, thank you, I appreciate your apology. I love you, too. And New York made a lot of changes. For instance, it's raising the minimum age on semi-automatic rifles, which seems like
Starting point is 00:17:37 common sense to me. Although in my opinion, instead of 21, I feel like it should be 21 and four days. Yeah, because I don't want someone buying a gun on the same night that they're slamming 10 shots of Yager, just spread it out, you know? New York is also going to be banning body armor and that makes sense. In fact, this is the first state in the country to do it, which is a great idea. In fact, they should also ban under armor while they add it. Yeah, it's not about the shootings. I'm just tired of seeing people's nipples on the train, you know? I get it, you work out. You work out. And I know, I know some people are saying, but wait, I'm not a shooter. I just want body armor for my protection. Don't worry. You don't need body armor.
Starting point is 00:18:20 All right. If you're not doing anything in the Ferris, you don't need body armor. Yeah, if there's something I've learned from American movies is that you just need to keep a precious family heirloom on your body. That stops any bullets. Any time. It's like, ba! Oh, thank God, my mom's Bible stop the bullets. Ba! Oh, thank God. my growns. thanks God I carry grandma's cherished dildo with me all the time. Save my life once again. Thank you, Grandma. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I'm just going to let that soak in for a second. All right, finally. Let's move on to a story about CNN, which stands for cable news
Starting point is 00:19:09 ninjas. Anyway, for years, CNN has been notorious for overhyping every story, like it's, you know, the zombie apocalypse. It's like, breaking news, the midterm elections are now, six months away. And not surprisingly, this approach has started to backfire as viewers have learned to tune it out, you know, like the boy who cried wolf, or in this case, the wolf who cried wolf. So because of that, because of that, CNN is making a big change.
Starting point is 00:19:37 We start here with breaking news about breaking news involving CNN. The network has a new boss, and he says CNN is now cutting back on overhyping everything is, quote, breaking news. So much so that CNN has actually added a breaking news guideline to its style book. So you'll soon see a lot less of that breaking news banner at the bottom of the TV screen. Yes, CNN is cutting back on the overuse of breaking news. And to celebrate it immediately put up a countdown clock to the moment when it will officially reduce the amount of breaking news. Very exciting. One thing at a time. Look, look, people, the truth is, the truth is, most stories are giant
Starting point is 00:20:18 news in that way. I'm glad they're doing this. You know, great job, Chris Lecht. There's only been like three breaking news stories of the past two decades. Let's be honest, like 9-11 coronavirus and that time that guy put salt on his food, but from up here. Yeah, most people put the salt from like down here, but he did it from up here, y'all. Oh, I do change the game. It's a technique, it's a whole thing. And now that CNN is acknowledging this, now that they're acknowledging that not everything is breaking news, maybe, just maybe, just maybe all of cable news can acknowledge that maybe news doesn't need to be 24 hours, maybe? It's not necessary, you know, maybe you can wait to get all the facts and tell us the correct story at the end of the day. Just me?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Possibly. I mean, think about it. Think about it. Think about it, honestly. The first 10 hours of any news story on cable news is just speculation. Breaking news, we're hearing that a tiger has escaped from the zoo and mauled 10 people. It is a sad, hold on, hold on, slight clarification. We're now hearing that the tiger was in the mall and the mall has 10 people.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Everybody is alive and oh, hold on, our sources on the ground are telling us, it's not a tiger, it's a panda express. There is a panda express in the ground are telling us, it's not a tiger, it's a panda express. There is a panda express in the mall. We're going to stay on top of this story for the next 24 hours. Breaking News. Thank you. It's just everyday stuff that's boring but important. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Even when there is news, most of it isn't that exciting. It's just everyday stuff that's boring but important. The economy is up, the economy is down. The government is doing something, or more likely not doing something, you know? So this is good. And to lower expectations, CNN is actually replacing breaking news with a new graphic for stories that are just normal stuff. And we have an exclusive look at what that'll be.
Starting point is 00:22:34 It's perfect. I think calling you from a prison phone. January 6th wasn't just a way for Q& on members to get their steps in. It was the culmination of a high-level plot to overturn the election results. And now after a year of gathering evidence and speaking to over 1,000 witnesses, the January 6th committee in Congress is ready to spill the tea on what actually went down. Prime-time hearings. The January 6th committee said to take their case to the American public.
Starting point is 00:23:13 How they plan to argue that Donald Trump and his supporters planned the insurrection in an effort to overturn the presidential election. The committee and its members really want these hearings to be blockbuster, Watergate-style hearings, and they are meticulously crafted. They're trying to make sure that this does not look like other congressional hearings. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin has said that he expects that the hearings will blow the roof off of the house.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah, that's right. The January 6th hearings are starting tomorrow and every broadcast network. Every cable news network is going to be covering this. Obviously except Fox. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to be spending all night talking about the real culprit. Why is nobody talking about how Congress has too many doors? If there was only one door in and out, this never would have happened. The crowd would have peacefully dispersed after hanging Mike Pence. Huh?
Starting point is 00:24:06 You know who's going to be tawn about the coverage of this? Donald Trump. Yeah. Because think about, on the one hand, he doesn't want anyone to know what he did on January 6th. But on the other hand, you know he would love his hearings. to get the highest ratings, the to be out there like, don't watch the hearings, folks. The fake news is saying I overthrew the government, which I didn't do. But it was the biggest overthrow of all time. But I didn't do it. I didn't do it at all. Watch the hearings, you'll see. You'll see. So the Democrats are hoping
Starting point is 00:24:42 that these hearings are going to finish Trump off the same way that Watergate finished off Nixon. But the difference is those Watergate hearings happened back in the 1970s. That was a different time. They only had, what, three channels back then? Yeah, Americans only choice for entertainment in 1973 was either watching the watergate hearings or chain smoking in between heart attacks. That's all they could do. And I'll tell you this now. If the Democrats want everyone to watch, if they want Americans
Starting point is 00:25:08 to pay attention, they can't just have their regular boring ass hearings. You know, you know those hearings where they act like they just dropped the bombshell and the rest of us have no idea why. But you'll never believe what happened next. The White House Council emailed the Chief of Staff and he BCCed the assistant White House Council. P. P.C.C. the assistant White House Council. P. P. Whom! Why are all the cameras leaving? What's going on? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:25:48 No. No. No. What they need to do, if you want people to watch in America is you have to spice things up. You know, have a kiss cam going for the witnesses. Yeah. Get Shakira to do a half-time show.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Oh you know what they should just get sex involved I'm gonna say it. Yeah that's what made the Bill Clinton scandal so big. Yeah you got to give people sex stuff. I don't know like that guy who stole the podium did he have sex with it afterwards? Or that guy who dressed in the animal skins. That was a sex thing.

I should should just just just just just That had to be a sex thing. You know, actually, I've been thinking about this hard, and I figured it out. Americans like entertainment. Congress wants Americans to pay attention to politics. Those two don't mix, but there is one person
Starting point is 00:26:31 who can make political machinations interesting for the masses. There's only one man, Lin Manuel, Miranda. the thate, their thinne, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, thin, thin, the, the, their, the, their, American, their, American, American, their, their, American, their, their-a' is their, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, their, American, their, American, their, American, their's, their's, theirin' is theirin-a, American, American, theirin-a, American, their.

Hi-hi! Hi! All right, let's move on to some international news. Because while America is trying its hardest to preserve its democracy, Europe is tackling major problems of its own.
Starting point is 00:27:16 iPhone chargers. The European Union is officially adopting a common charger, the USBC. That's the type of charger already used in most Android phones and other devices. All electronics sold in the EU will have to use a USBC port that's in order to reduce cable clutter and electronic waste. Apple has their own proprietary charger and they say the proposed rule could render as many as a billion devices obsolete. Oh really Apple? You're mad about a change coming out of nowhere that's going to as a billion devices obsolete. Oh really, Apple. You're mad about a change coming out of nowhere
Starting point is 00:27:47 that's going to render a billion devices obsolete. Oh, that's funny because I've got to draw full of wired headphones that agree with you. Now you know, I feel like it's good. And you know, I feel like... And you know, Apple claims. They claim that this new regulation is going to hurt them financially, but guys, let's be real.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Apple always finds a way to win. You know, they have the regulation, but they'll find a way to spin this into making money, even if it's off of this. Thanks to the EU, your old phone is obsolete now. And in the old days, you might have just thrown it into the garbage, but not anymore. Introducing the eye garbage. A groundbreaking new way to throw out your phone.
Starting point is 00:28:35 It's basically a regular garbage can, but like it's got round edges, and it's kind of shiny. Anyway, it's a thousand dollars. I'm going to buy one of those. I will say this, if the USBC is going to become the default charger around the world, they've got to come up with a better name than USBC. That's boring. No one wants to say that. I don't like Apple, they went with lightning charger. Yeah, it makes you want to charge your phone. U.S.B.C. Sounds like you're filling out taxes with that. Did you fill out your USBC? And it changed the name to something more badass, you know, want to charge your phone so fast your dick falls off? You need the Thunderblaster!
Starting point is 00:29:26 Ow! Wow! Yeah, that's the sound it makes every time you charge your phone. And by the way, can I just say how crazy it is, that America is struggling, like, how do we protect our children from gun violence? Oh, how do we stop people from starving, even when they work three jobs? There's nothing we can do. Meanwhile Europe is so far ahead, they truly have first world problems, you know? They're like, you know, I was thinking about this when I was in the doctor's office not paying the other day?
Starting point is 00:29:55 But isn't it so stressful how you have like one charger but then you need like a different charger? I was thinking about this? I th how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how this this thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus 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 is is is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their their their their their their their their their th. th. I. I. I true. I'm true. I true. I true. I true. I true. I truly. I truly. I truly. I thinking about this. I mean, you know, there are many changes we could make. Yeah, I learned about this in university that I also didn't have to pay for. You know, you can like apply your mind and you can do this, you know? It's all about your perspective, guys. All right, I'm going on paternity leave for an entire year.
Starting point is 00:30:19 See you guys later. Alvidazen, tues! All right, enough about Europe. Right now there's an even bigger story brewing in the world of sports. You know, usually in golf, the biggest controversy is that a player wore a two colorful shirts, you know, or someone said a bad word after they sliced their shot. Phue, ah, fooie! This time, their shot. Phu-ah-fooey! This time, though, golf is tied up in a real scandal because some of its star players are switching to a new league launching in Saudi Arabia. It's caused a major split in the golfing world. A controversial Saudi-backed golf series tease off tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:31:03 The tournament has secured several big names despite threats from the PGA tour to sanction them. American golfer Dustin Johnson quitting the PGA and joining the controversial league backed by Saudi Arabia. And this is coming after Phil Micklinson announced his comeback by joining the same league despite previously describing the Saudi regime as scary MFers who who have a horrible record on human rights. I understand that many people have very strong opinions and may disagree with my decision.
Starting point is 00:31:34 But at this time, this is an opportunity that gives me a chance to have the most balance in my life going forward and I think this is going to do a lot of good for the game. We all agree that when Phil Michelson says this gives him the most balance in my life, he means money, right? I mean, just say money. The reason I'm here is money. Yeah, because the Saudis are reportedly paying him $200 million. Yeah, so just say it's the money.
Starting point is 00:32:14 It's not coming up with all these stories. I would say that to the audience if I was saying, I wouldn't even play those games. I'd be like, yeah, you know why I'm going to Saudi Arabia? They're giving me $200 million. $200 million. Because he told me why are you going, why are you? I'll give you a million dollars if you shut the fuck up? Pricy, acting like you've ever had to make this decision. People are kidding themselves about their morals.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Everyone's like, oh, I can't believe he's doing that for $200 million. For $200 million, I would let the rule of Saudi Arabia set up his tea on my crutch. That's where he can hit it from. I can buy a new crotch with that money, a better crutch. I'll be honest with you. I am torn when it comes to this issue. Because on the one hand, I do that. Happened with South Africa during apartheid. People boycotted, the country was embarrassed, changed. On the other hand, there's an argument that maybe by bringing them in and exposing them
Starting point is 00:33:12 to the rest of the world, that might cause liberal values to infiltrate their societies. Because it starts with golf. Then, over time, it's racquet sports, squash, tennis. Yeah, yeah, now they're wearing shorts. Ooh, getting more liberal. Yeah. Then maybe you add a bar where people, men and women can hang out
Starting point is 00:33:32 after their activities. And then boom, you got a liberal society, or at the very least, a country club. It's progress. I mean, the real question here is why would you even want to play golf in Saudi Arabia in the first place? The sand trappers, the entire country. What are you doing? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:33:49 All right, finally, if you're one of those people who can't seem to arrive on time for any meeting or any date or any events in your calendar, well, according to trend watches, your time is up. Being fashionly late is no longer in fashion, according to a New York Times article. It argues that now being fashionly late is out of fashion, that punctuality is cool. In the third year the pandemic, apparently people are less sympathetic for old excuses of why you show up late to a meeting. The author of this says that now that more people have to go back into the office, they are more protective of their time that they got to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be 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. their. their. their. their.. their. their.. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, ti. ti. ti. ti. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te.to go back into the office, they are more protective of their time that they gotta be there and less forgiving about people who are late. That's right people. Being on time is cool now. We're putting the punk in punctuality.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Ow! Yeah! Yeah! Someone just charged their phone. But still, let's not get carried away with this. I agree. Yes, it is good to be on time, especially for big things, you know, like meetings at work or your wedding. Yeah, you don't want to be late for that. Especially if you're the bride, because then like the organ player, they're going to have to fill time, you know? And just be like,
Starting point is 00:35:07 Dun, tun, tun, tun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, no, not yet. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, d'n, still nothing. Still nothing. So look, I agree, I agree. I think it is good for people to arrive on time. But I will say this. I hate this culture of people who are personally offended by people who weren't there on the dots. Oh, you disrespected my time.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And you disrespected my family. Come down. You'll get so touchy about it. You weren't the day I get it. You had to wait at the mall until your friend showed up. You didn't know where they were. You didn't know if they were late or dead. You had no clue. Yeah. You didn't even know if you were stood up for a date until you saw the person the next time.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Hey, what the t play a game, learn Japanese. Maybe you should answer one of those 2,000 unread emails that I've seen on your phone. Oh, I was waiting for you. Yeah, they're waiting for you. You're gonna be mad that I'm late to dinner. Then when I finally get to dinner, you spent half of the the phone, use it.
Starting point is 00:36:25 No, I'm late. No, Trevor, you came late. You came late, Trevor. I'm not late. I'm giving you an opportunity to watch things online. I'm giving you an opportunity to watch a video of an orangutan pulling a guy through a cage. Yeah, pulling a man.
Starting point is 00:36:42 You've seen an orangutan pull a grown man into a cage.. tang. tang. tang. tang. tang. th. th. th. tank. th. to. th. th. tank. tank. th. th. tank. tank. to, to, to, to, to, to, I, I'm, I'm, I, t.

And then another guy comes to help him and the orangutan blocks him with his foot and that other guy's like, alright, I'm not helping anymore, this shit is crazy. And if you haven't seen that video, that's because you're probably always on time. The price of gas, aka petrol, aka car cocaine. There are a few commodities out there that affect the cost of living more than gas. You know, it's how we get to work, it's how we ship products across the country, and it's how we let our ex know that we busted them cheating. Now, I don't need to tell you that over the past few months
Starting point is 00:37:24 the price of gas has been climbing faster than your grandpa's heart rate on Viagra... the the the the the the the th. thia thia thia thia thia th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thia thia thi. thi. thi. thi. thiol-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-na-na-na-na-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca. totale. total't need to tell you that over the past few months the price of gas has been climbing faster than your grandpa's heart rate on Viagra. In fact gas is so expensive. Instead of champagne, ballers have started ordering cannaces of premium at the club. Yeah, it's like, bin, bin, bee. That club was really lit. And as the national average in America hits five dollars a gallon for the first time ever. People all over the country are doing whatever they can to stretch a tank as far as they can. For a nation that feels like it's stuck right now in gas gridlock, many drivers aren't sitting idle with soaring costs. They're getting creative.
Starting point is 00:37:58 My salary hasn't changed, so I carpool with my sister to work. One week she drives and the one week I drive. I just bought the motorcycle motorcycle motorcycle motorcycle the motorcycle motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle the motorcycle motorcycle motorcycle the one week I drive. I just bought the motorcycle because now for 20 bucks I use like for three days to four days. She saves me a lot. At a time gas prices are so high, bike sales are exploding. I've moved to the city. I don't need my car. Can't afford gas. And even Google Maps is your friend with an option to navigate based on fewer hills and traffic. The even police departments are under strain. This Michigan Sheriff's Office is feeling the pain at the pump as well, according to its Facebook post
Starting point is 00:38:33 and has advised deputies to manage non-urgent calls over the phone. Well, well, well. I guess Joe Biden did end up defunding the police, yes. The secret was just defunding everyone at the same time so we didn't notice. I see you, Joe, very slick. But yeah, gas prices are so high. Even police have to do their jobs over the phone. Which, you gotta admit it's gonna be tough for some cops, you know? It's just gonna be like, right, sir, are you black? OK, then I'm going to have to ask you to whop your own ass a little bit.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Yeah, just frisk yourself for no reason, just to be safe. You know who's actually going to be hit the hardest by this, right? It's the Karen's. Yeah, because they're the main people calling the cops with thops. man at the grocery store buying tricks cereal, which is illegal because tricks are for kids. Hurry, hurry quickly. But yeah. All over the country, Americans are doing anything they can to save on gas. Carpooling, switching to motorcycles.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Shit, I pretended to be sick this morning just to get a free ambulance ride to work. Oh, it's definitely AIDS monkey pop CBOLA. I don't think I'm gonna make it. I don't know how much longer I have. Oh, wait, that's my office. You guys can drop me off here. Yeah, I'm gonna pull through. I don't think I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. to. to. t. t. t. to. t. t. to. to. t. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. put... You can drop me off here. Yeah, I'm gonna pull through.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I'm gonna pull through. You guys can pull over here. I'm good, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. I'll see you guys tomorrow. All right, bye, bye. Bye. you know, for real, look bike, you can take the subway, and then with all that money that you've saved not buying gas, you can afford a room the size of a
Starting point is 00:40:28 coffin. Yeah. In New York, concrete jungle where you have ten roommates, there's no space for any of you. That was a verse they cut out of the song. But it goes to show you how desperate times are. America will do anything to save on gas right now. I mean, not investing in mass transit, obviously, but anything else. And that means we're going to have to move on, because unfortunately, gas prices aren't the only problem affecting American people right now. And yes, I'm talking about guns. The never-ending problem that America just can't seem to solve, which, now that I think about it, maybe America shouldn't keep hitting the same brick wall.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Maybe America can just use some of its problems to solve some of its other problems. You know? Yeah, like maybe the price of gas will get so high that mass shooters won't be able to drive to a gun store to buy weapons in the first place. You don't need red flag laws if gas is $40 a gallon. But until that happens, lawmakers in Congress are trying to find any measure that can help reduce the amount of guns that end up in the hands of madmen. And yesterday, the House took action. A major legislative package on new gun measures is headed to the Senate after passing in the House yesterday.
Starting point is 00:41:44 By a 223 to 204 vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote the the the Senate after passing in the House yesterday. By a 223 to 204 vote, lawmakers approve the Protecting Our Kids Act. The legislation is a collection of six new gun safety measures, including raising the minimum age to buy semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 and requiring that all firearms be traceable. Five Republicans join Democrats and also supported the bill. It is, however, unlikely to pass in the Senate where control is evenly split. One Republican congressman who voted against the bill, Congressman Steve Scalise explained his opposition to new gun control laws.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I go back to September 11th. Airplanes were used that day as the weapon to kill thousands of people and to inflict terror on our country. There wasn't a conversation about banning airplanes. Wow! Wow! That is a good point! I can't think of anyway flying changed after 9-11. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get to the airport 15 hours early so the TSA has time to want to back-round check on my shampoo to see if it has any links to ISIS. This is a terrible comparison. Nobody's trying to ban all guns. They're trying to add small measures
Starting point is 00:43:02 to make people more safe, which is exactly what happened to air travel after 9-11 I mean, do you even remember what airport security was like before 9-11? You could basically walk onto a plane and just browse around like it was an IKEA. Yeah, you could just be like, no, I don't have a ticket. I just wanted to check out the cockpit. This is nice. What does this do? this is fun, this do this do this do this do this do this do this do this do this do this is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu, thu, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, thus, thus, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thoom. thoom. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the thea. thea. thea. thea. thea safe trap. But this is the problem, you see, this is the problem that gun lovers have in America.
Starting point is 00:43:27 There's nothing else that is as unregulated as they want guns to be. So the options and the analogies they use always don't make sense. They're always like, cars kill people too. they're always like, alcohol kills people too, but they... Wait, actually, no way. Medicine kills people, too, but we don't regulate... Oh, no, wait, we do. Let me think. Guns kill people, but we don't regulate those, huh?
Starting point is 00:43:51 See what I did? Oh, that's, I've gone back on myself. That's what I've done. But despite these dumb ass objections from people like Steve Scalise, the House still passed a gun control bill. The only problem is that everyone already knows that it has zero chance of passing in the Senate, which has got to be rough for the House. You know, you work so hard on something that you know is going to lose. You know, they're like the New York Knicks of legislation. Like what a weird system in America, where one chamber of Congress spends all this the other chamber is going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going to to to to to to s going to to siiiiiiiiii, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th.... th. And, thi. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi.time passing legislation that they know the other chamber is going to shoot down.
Starting point is 00:44:27 It's such a strange system. Normal for America, crazy for most of the world. America's basically doing that thing that parents do with their kids. You know, you know those parents that aren't on the same page? Like you ask your dad. Dad, can we eat ice cream for dinner? thia? thia. thia. thi? thi? 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. thi. thi. the. toee. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thea. thea. thi. to me, but you've got to ask your mom. And you know mom is going to say no. So I should have just asked her, why are you even a part of this process? Well, if I get your mom on the record saying no,
Starting point is 00:44:51 then I can run ads against her next year, and then we can get a new cooler mom, yeah. But what's especially interesting to me, is that as modest as this bill is, only five Republicans voted for it. Only five. And get this, four of them aren't running for re-election. Yeah, which is really interesting. Time and time again, you see, whenever Republicans aren't worried about pandering to Trump voters, all of a sudden they make common sense decisions.
Starting point is 00:45:22 And I'll be honest, this is shown me something that maybe America needs to re-look the process. Maybe people in Congress shouldn't get to be re-elected. You just do one term and you're done. That's it. Yeah, because then America's politicians would finally care more about governing as opposed to getting re-elected. You know, it's kind of like the whole time you're worried about saving the relationship, but if you don't worry about that anymore, you become a lot more honest. Yeah, all of a sudden you're like, well, it's gonna end anyway, so I might as well tell you now that you fought like a beatboxing machine in your sleep.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Sarah? The whole night. A p-pip-tip-pbip-bip-bip-bip-bbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbibbib-bib-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-a-b-a-b-a-a-b-a-b-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-b-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-tah-tah-tah-s-s''''-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'erer-a-a-a-a-a-a-tah-t Moving on. This week, Los Angeles is hosting the Summit of the Americas, because contrary to popular belief, America isn't the only America in the world. Yeah, there are dozens of countries in North and South America, and every once in a while, they get together to discuss issues that affect the entire region, and then they bitch about Christopher Columbus. But for this year's summit, the person most countries are bitching about is Joseph Robinette
Starting point is 00:46:29 Biden. Drama before the diplomacy officially begins this week in Los Angeles where President Biden will be hosting the Summit of the Americas. There is a significant snub. The president of Mexico has announced that he is refusing to attend the summit because the U.S. is not inviting Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua over their lack of democratic values. But Mexico says the agenda of migration, economics, climate, and COVID is just too important to exclude any of the nations from this region. The White House counters that it believes that no dictator should be invited.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Wait a second. Joe Biden has stopped a Mexican from coming to America? You know wherever he is. Trump must be so pissed off right now. He's like, Joe Biden is stealing my ideas. I'm the Mexican man. Mom! But seriously, though, this is such a petty story.
Starting point is 00:47:30 This is a meeting of the leaders of an entire hemisphere. But instead, they sound like middle school mean girls. You know, it's just like, hey, Mexico, I'm having a party, and you can come, but don't tell Cuba and Venezuela and Nicaragua because they're not invited. I was like, oh America, it's so brave that you think you're cool enough to even throw a party. You bitch! Oh my god! Whomah! Buh! I will say this, I think we can all agree that Mexico is making a good point. America's stance on human rights violations seems a little inconsistent. Think about it. You won't even talk to
Starting point is 00:48:09 Cuba and Nicaragua, but then you're gonna fly to Saudi Arabia and beg Prince Bonsoar to release more oil? I mean it seems like America's a lot more toleran of countries that have a little... Chiching, is that what is? Yeah, in many ways the American government is like a stripper. Yeah, yeah, it's like if you ain't paying, they don't care about you. And I hope you know that Saudi Arabia. America's not actually into you. They're just saving up for college. That's all this is.
Starting point is 00:48:37 It's not about you, America. It's not about you, America. The transaction. Here's the thing, here's a thing. Whether the US likes it or not, it is connected to these countries, right? They affect the United States and the United States affects them. Don't you think it's weird that you're going to be talking about migrants from Nicaragua, but then Nicaragua is not going to be at that summit? You don't to get your life together, Barry. Is what I would say if Barry was here.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I think this would have been good, guys. This would have gotten through to him. It really would have been great. Where is Barry, by the way? What, thrown? Well, we tryed. All that's it, man? What's the tellip? Looking nice. You're looking nice.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Oh, hey, what's up, man? What's happening, man? What's happening in the trail? I'm just looking, man. There's nothing happening. There ain't nobody out there. Gas costs too damn much. Everybody at home.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Ain't nobody on these roads today man it's looking pretty good out there. You know I'd be honest man with this these gas prices man I kind of it's got me kind of rooting for monkeypox. Sorry what? How was traffic during the last shutdown it was good wasn't it? It was good the last pandemic it wasn't no traffic so bring back another pandemic boom traffic fixed problem solve. I'm telling you man the gas prices are getting out of head like I like I kind like like like the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I the the th. I kind.

I'm telling you, the gas prices are getting out of hand. I kind of like the fact, though, that the police can't respond to every call. That's cool for now. But then when an emergency start really start piling up, then it's going to be bad, man. Eventually the police are going to start carpooling with the fire department and the ambulance. They're going to have to ride together. Like the only way they're going to come save you is if all three things are happening to
Starting point is 00:50:26 you at the same time. Like if you get shot you got to set something on fire, then they'll show up. They're going to have to combine their vehicles. It's going to get bad. They're going to have to come check on you in a firetruck ambulance cruiser. A fire truck ambulance cruiser. That's with all three police cruiser, ambulance, fire truck. All combines. It was in boys in the hood. What's happening in the traffic, Roy? It's just, people going, errands. It's just, people are just going to and fro, man. It's's just it's a beautiful thing. Real quick about
Starting point is 00:51:07 the the the gun law stuff to gun whatever they try to pass. Yeah yeah the gun safety yeah. That's part of it. All right can we like that's the only solution to gun violence is gun regulating guns. A lot of different things contribute to gun violence in this country. I agree. You start with the guns, but then you look at communities, you look at schooling, you look at eradicating poverty. I hear what you're saying, right?
Starting point is 00:51:33 I don't talk about that. I'm talking about lonely white dudes. We've got to have legislation, like every lonely white dude, to have a friend. We got to legislate friends for lonely white men. And I think that's how we get, that's how we fix some of it. Like, it'd be like jury duty. Like you think you got to, you think you like, you get a letter in the mail by report to Gary's basement. And you gotta be Gary's friend.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Because them lonely white men,they ain't got no friends. So we don't let the lonely white man not have a friend is what okay but then but then what? Every lonely white dude gets a friend yeah yeah I understand. Both they put a lonely white man with another lonely white man then isn't that double dangerous? No that's called a militia that's safer than a lonely white man. A militia. much safer than a lonely white man militia got a uniform, they got a website, they got a schedule, they get permits, they let you know when they're gonna show up. Who would you rather deal with a militia or a lone wolf? Militia. That's what I'm saying. That's what we need. We need that. Yeah, because we got to be somebody got to talk to these white dudes in person. We tried try try try 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 to to their their their their their their their their their their their their they they they they they they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their their their their their their their their their tried talking to him over the internet, but Reddit didn't work.
