The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Can’t Negotiate for S**t, and the Iran Peace Talks Prove It | Jason Bateman
Episode Date: June 2, 2026Trump claims a peace deal with Iran is coming any second, but he's been saying that for months. Jon Stewart takes a look at Trump's unimpressive track record as a negotiator, despite being the self-pr...oclaimed best negotiator in the world, and pulls back the curtain on the president's "Art of the Deal" as merely the art of trolling. Plus, the Freedom 250 concert is falling apart as more and more headliners pull out, and TDS News Team alum Olivia Munn stops by to offer Jon Stewart a heartfelt tribute that was definitely not meant for Stephen Colbert. Jason Bateman sits down with Jon to discuss his latest projects, the Netflix series “Black Rabbit” and the HBO series “DTF St. Louis.” Bateman admits he didn’t know what “DTF” stood for until his daughter told him a week into shooting the series. “DTF St. Louis” is what Bateman calls “sneaky funny," and shares how creator & writer Steve Conrad gave the show a voice unlike anything on TV. Plus, the two old friends catch up on life and reflect on aging, fatherhood, and how lonely you become when your children leave for college. -- Head to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central,
it's America's only source for news.
This is the Daily Show with your host, John Stewart.
We've got a great show for tonight.
And later on, by the way,
Jason Bateman's going to be out here.
I'm going to get to the big news.
The big news,
that anyone see that it was a fucking gust of wind.
I said the Knicks are in the finals,
and without touching it, the script went,
by the way, that's the good news.
Nixon are in the final.
The bad news,
Victor Wembe Nyama is still growing.
As of this morning,
he is up to 14 and a half feet.
If this series goes to seven games,
oh, I just don't know.
But I actually love.
He's an unbelievable player.
He's incredibly interesting.
He's very likable.
And I do hope that at some point in his NBA career, he wins the championship.
I need good news.
I need some good news.
I need some relief.
And I'll tell you why.
Because as many of you know, that big Freedom 250 concert that I'd so been looking forward
to, and someone in the audience just died.
The concert I've so been looking forward to has run into some problems.
Six musical artists originally announced as performers now dropping out, many citing political concerns.
The Commodores, Martina McBride, Morris Day, and the Time, rapper Young MC, and Poisoned Frontman Brett Michaels.
Tough break!
Although at this point, wouldn't he just be MC?
Or, brother, I feel you.
I feel you.
Or just like, you're as young as you feel, MC.
60 is the new 40 MC.
All right.
But damn!
They didn't want to be a part of Donald Trump's personal political concert.
Is anyone still performing?
America is turning two-fitting.
I'm super honored to do this concert with everybody.
We're going to bring back the 90s.
There you go.
Vanilla ice didn't drop out.
He saw a problem.
And yo, he solved it.
He should really check out his hook.
Love his DJ.
All right.
Again, say what you want.
Very likable fellow.
And by the way, the other artist
who said that they are not bailing
is C&C Music Factory,
who, as you know, were devastated by globalization
and the offshoring of most of America's music factories.
Their front man, Freedom Williams,
had an interesting, I would say, somewhat philosophical take
on the issue of the intersection of performance and politics.
Y'all gonna make this pretty 60-year-old n'em-a leash on you, motherfuckers.
I'm sitting on the toilet taking the shit.
Sir, this is not a good time.
We can certainly come back and discuss this later,
but, look, you know, let's not focus on where he's making the video,
or his Katniss and Pete a fanfic shirt,
or the cottage core wallpaper.
Let's focus on the message.
The day I'll let you, motherfucker,
Tell me what to do is the day I die.
Pretty straightforward.
You love this country.
Critics be damned.
I don't give a fuck about 250 years of motherfuckettlement capitalism in death.
Love was too strong a word.
Why, freedom?
Would you do the show celebrating 250 years of mother fucking capitalism and death?
Shit, you keep pushing me.
I'll do the mother fucking show in North...
Korea pissing on a
American flag, smoking a Cuban cigar,
drinking Venezuela wine,
playing golf with motherfucking Kim L. June
with an Iranian bitch on my lap
while Trump standing there
with his d-de-in-his hand.
Is that like the Mexican Kim Jong-un?
He might be my favorite person in the world.
But by the way, if you thought Freedom Williams
ranting about our murderous nation
and our president with his d-in-his hand
is the weirdest thing
about how this concept
is coming together.
According to CNN, quote,
the concert lineup was heavily tilted toward Legacy Acts,
and many of them shared the same booking agent
in Jeff Epstein of Universal Attractions.
All attractions is in charge of,
forgive me, recruiting talent for a Donald Trump party?
In planning our country's 250th birthday,
somebody had to go into Donald Trump's office
and say,
I know just the guy.
How bad do you feel for that guy?
After years of being,
not that Epstein,
he finally gets all of his acts booked.
It's all coming up, Epstein.
And then the axe collapsed.
He finally thought he was going to get his happy...
But nope, nope.
Once again, they leave him hanging.
So many Epstein sympathize him.
A Jeffrey Epstein joke.
How could you?
Meanwhile, at least Trump has grabbed a couple of wins from the weekend that can soften the blow of the canceled concert.
Looks like we're going to finally put an end to this U.S. Iran kerfuffle.
Breaking news, Axios now reporting that the U.S. and Iran have reached a peace deal.
The president announcing the framework of an agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Formuz.
Trump says he's, quote, meeting now in the situation room to make a final determination.
Now, you could be forgiven for being skeptical.
If you remember, I believe we've been here before.
We were very close to a deal a couple of weeks ago.
They are getting very close to making a deal.
And of course, getting close a few days before that.
I think we're getting close to maybe doing a deal.
Because I think the week before that, you remember, it was very possible.
We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal.
It reminded me of the two weeks before that, when it was not just possible, but really already agreed to.
Many of these things have been negotiated and agreed to.
Which was based on the optimism we'd had from the one day before that.
We're very close to making a deal.
Which was all based on the fruits of the efforts of the position that we were in.
Three weeks prior.
I think there's a very good chance
we're going to end up in a deal.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet for it.
Well, good enough for me.
Hello, Kalshi Market.
A little birdie told me to put it all on peace.
What could go wrong?
Breaking news, state TV,
says Iran is suspending fragile peace talks
with the U.S.
The cusp of deal.
What is holding it up?
What is hampering the completion of the terms?
Is it the Mullahs?
Is it Israel?
Is it the Revolutionary Guard?
What is holding this up?
Trump claimed in a social media post
that too many voices from Republicans
and those he called Democrats are slowing him down,
writing, it is much tougher for me to properly do my job
and negotiate when political hacks keep negatively chirping
at levels never seen before.
What?
You're blaming this shit on us.
You can't make peace unless everybody's quiet.
Is making peace like putting or peeing?
Is that what this is?
Oh, the peace won't come out unless everybody shuts up.
If you stare at me, I can't make peace.
You're blaming us.
You know, I think maybe we were all under the mistaken notion
that you were some kind of dealmaker and cheat.
Some kind of master negotiator.
Where did we get that from?
I mean, this is a high-stakes negotiation.
We've got the best negotiator in the world leading it.
He's doing what he does best, which is being a master negotiator.
He's known as the dealmaker-in-chief.
This is what he's really good at.
This is art of the deal.
This is like scrambling the head game with Iran.
I know deals, I think, better than anybody knows deals.
Of course you do.
You're the deal-maker-in-chief.
Our country is blessed.
With the world's greatest authority on negotiating and deal-making.
and deal-making.
So how did the Iranians manage to blunt our advantage?
They're very smart, actually, in a certain way.
They're very good negotiators.
They're crafty.
Crafty?
Like, I'm the best negotiator in the world.
I'm the master.
Unless, yeah, you, they're not crafty, are they?
Is anyone talking, are they crafty?
Because I have, my negotiations are like a superpower.
Unless, God forbid.
They happen to be crafty.
Does anyone know?
Are they crafty?
Is that like a dampener?
I didn't know I was going to be fighting other adults.
Like, what the fuck?
By the way, who set the expectations for your greatness?
I'm so busy with the Iranians calling,
trying to make a good deal.
They want very much to make a deal.
They're begging to make a deal.
Because they're begging to make a deal.
I mean, Iran is dying to make a deal.
Ah.
And who set the acceptable terms?
of this deal that they are dying to make.
It's got to be perfect.
One of the things that will happen is the straight will open immediately.
We want to see no nuclear bomb, no nuclear weapon, not even close to it.
The nuclear dust, we're going to want that.
The president declaring there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender.
They should wave the white flag.
The white flag of surrender.
In hockey, they say, uncle, right?
When are they going to cry uncle?
I think even the crafty Iranians understand you don't cry uncle in hockey.
And by the way, no nuclear, unconditional surrender, open the straight.
Even that wasn't enough to satisfy Trump.
But Iran didn't cry uncle.
They weren't begging to make the deal.
And here comes the Donald Trump special, the excuses.
We don't know who their leader is.
They play games.
They might be crazy.
They're afraid to make a deal.
They make a deal in the next day.
Like we waited five days for a letter that should have been there one hour.
I said, where's the letter?
You didn't make a deal because you're waiting for a letter?
What are you?
Inside a Ken Burns documentary?
I was going to get a letter.
I didn't get the letter.
I guess no deal.
I don't know what happened to the letter.
By the way, I'm not sure if you heard.
There have been some delivery issues in the Strait of Hormuz.
You know, maybe the problem isn't us
who didn't want this fucking war in the first place.
Maybe the problem is a president
who talks out of both sides of his mouth,
lies like most of us breathe,
and whose pronouncements cannot be trusted,
because they will inevitably be undercut
by the very same person pronouncing them,
like this gem from the weekend.
Their Navy has totally gone 100%.
Their Air Force has totally gone 100%.
We've taken different forms of leadership out.
We've actually left their military alone.
People would be surprised to hear that.
We would be surprised to hear that.
Do you know why we're surprised to hear that?
Because two minutes earlier in that same interview, you said,
we've defeated their military, essentially defeated their military.
But we've been hip to the holes in your negotiating game for quite some time now.
Remember how you were going to solve Ukraine and Russia on the first?
What happened with that?
We'll have a deal with Russia.
Russia's set and President Zelensky will not do it.
And then we'll have President Zelenskyy wants to make a deal and Putin doesn't want to make the deal.
It's a very difficult balance.
When Russia's ready, Ukraine's not.
When Ukraine's ready, Russia's not.
You're the greatest negotiator in the world.
And you're saying that it's difficult to bring together two differing sides with competing interests?
If only there was a word for close,
that gap. A person who could help close it. I don't know, a gap a closinator.
But that's, by the way, that's the dirty little secret in all of this, isn't it? Donald Trump
isn't actually a master gap a closinator.
Negotiation is about bringing parties of disparate interests into an agreement that understands each other's positions
and resolves those differences with compromises that advance shorthy.
goals. Whereas Donald Trump's gift is in not doing that.
Trump's singular gift is in manufacturing the animus and division that actually makes negotiated
settlements so difficult, yet so necessary in this world. That's his happy place.
But the Democrats, the Democrats voted against all of that, but we call them Democrats.
Democrats, God, sir.
We may not get that peace deal you were talking about, but as a 1 a.m. slop tweet, Magnifico!
How in God's name does the world's most powerful man come up with gold like that?
And it works out well because I take the word dumb, take the B off, because most people don't know that, you know, dumb ends with a B, but most people don't know.
And all I do is I switch the E with a U, and you have a Democrat.
We do not ever become numb to this.
But I think even Donald Trump recognizes that his superpowers may be waning.
I don't know that it's going to be as good as Pocahontas or fake news or so many of the others that we've come up with.
How sad is it? Donald Trump knows he's past his peak.
But hey man, you got to keep trying. You got to keep putting out new stuff.
otherwise you could end up
alone on the toilet
is that you my friend
are represented by Jeff Epstein
what are doing here
Jonathan
tonight is about you
I am here to honor you
on one of your biggest final
special send-off shows
what?
Just like Colbert had big production
huge stars everyone loved it
I'm here for you for that
Wait, this isn't our final...
This is not a final show.
This is a normal Monday show.
See, that's what I'm talking about.
I love the optimism.
No, that's not...
You are so dumb.
You don't even realize how fragile this industry is.
No, no, no, I realize.
I just...
We're not...
It's not the last show.
I wrote a song.
Oh, hey.
What? Thank you.
Okay.
You don't...
Look, this is really the only way
I know how to tell you how I feel,
and I'm going to...
I'm gonna try not to cry, although no promises.
Okay.
And one and two, here we go.
Nobody can fill your chair.
You're the one and only John Stewart.
No, that, okay.
I think you need to tune the guitar.
No, you don't tune a guitar.
You're thinking of a piano.
No, that's...
I love your glasses and your dark brown hair.
When you host the late show with...
John Stewart.
Okay, I, clearly, Stewart doesn't rhyme with hair or chair, so it's not...
Guitar solo!
Okay, that, uh, clearly, Olivia, that wasn't even written for me.
That was written for Stephen Colbert.
You're right.
You're right.
No one cares if you leave.
Okay, that's not necessary.
That's not necessary.
That's not necessary.
But sadly, John, I missed out on saying goodbye to Stephen.
There was a scheduling conflict.
I was available.
They gave a hard pass.
Instead, they went with Paul McCartney, the guy from Wings.
I mean, like, where'd they dig him up?
Look, Olivia, it's not my last show, but you were obviously always welcome here.
I love you, you know that.
Really?
Yeah.
My God, thank you so much.
Of course.
Because there's really not a lot of options left.
It's basically just you or the Hot Ones guy.
Okay.
I don't know if you know this.
I don't like wings, the food or the band.
Okay.
Well, come back anytime.
And you don't have to pretend you can play guitar.
What? I can play guitar. I mean, how do you think I got booked from the Freedom 250 concert?

Oh my goodness.
My guest's tonight, an award-winning actor, director, and producer.
Currently stars the Netflix series Black Rabbit and the HBO series D-T-F St. Louis.
Please welcome to the show, Jason Bateman.
Let me tell you something about Jason Bateman.
Uh-oh.
With you here.
Jason Bateman don't miss.
You don't miss.
Your programs, whether you direct, whether you produce, whether you're in them, you don't miss.
This is a great start.
Right here, this is a great start.
Now, but that clip, not the best.
Not the best.
But if you're looking for a comedy clip, that's a miss.
You know, I felt them out there like, they're waiting to laugh, waiting to laugh.
Then I say, you French that guy did not hurt his feelings.
They were like, we should laugh at that?
So we're not.
What it did, though, it was in a moose bouch.
It set the mood.
That means a little bit of like an a aperitif.
I don't think so.
They know.
I don't think so.
Let me say this.
It's just a stellar start of the show, by the way.
You were killing me backstage.
I was, we were trying.
And the handsomeness, guys, the handsomeness.
And there's no tricks.
There's no tricks.
There's no.
Velcro strap in the back or anything.
No.
No, this is all natural.
You wake up all out of bed like this.
this. I fall out of bed like this and I don't use any
lotions. Here's what you do. No toner, no
nothing. No toner, no nothing.
I am maybe a month away from
being the Dosecchi's guy.
This close. I think it's a week.
It might be a week.
I'm the most interesting man.
So good. It's so bad because so many
and this is what DTF St. Louis, not to bring it back to this
but it's men of a certain age. Most of my
male friends are near my age or not my age.
And yet the disparity in how we are aging,
for instance, you're not that far off from me.
I'm 57.
Right.
And there...
What the fuck?
57, like when our dads were 57, they looked like in a week, they'll be dead a month, you know?
I mean, it was...
And I seem to be following more to that tradition.
No, but you on the other hand...
You, no.
57 is the new 37, I think.
What's 60s?
60th, 7th.
It's the new 40.
63 is the new 40.
Okay, I would take that.
It is true, though.
Do you know this?
Do you remember the movie?
I'm so happy to be back on this show.
Oh, it's so delightful.
It's so good.
Can I tell you something?
Do you, I can't even tell you what a drag it is for me week after week to have to read these
books.
You be the other,
I'm an economist who knows what's going on in China.
Oh.
That's what you're doing on your four days off?
Yes.
You're prepping for your one day.
Yes.
I'd like to see you here five days a week.
These people, I don't know who their editors are with the font size.
On the teleprompter?
Not in the teleprompter, on the books I have to read.
Oh, oh.
Should we make it 800 pages or I know, let's make it 400 pages of illegible tiny prints.
Listen to them.
Listen to them now.
I can't anymore.
You don't have hearing?
I don't have the hearing.
I can't hear anymore.
Thank you.
So this is lovely.
What was I going to say to you?
We were talking about down to f***.
Which I found out what that, what it means.
About a week into shooting from my 19-year-old daughter.
I was like, is this a township in St. Louis?
Is that what DTF is?
No, dad.
Can I talk to you for a second?
That's embarrassing.
It's very embarrassing.
all the time.
You know.
Your son keeps you up to date on stuff?
No, he doesn't know anything.
My daughter,
you know what she keeps me up on?
Lochenuantly.
It's a little baby
who's AI generated.
And he says things like
lokenuantly.
And that's a big thing.
And so I say that sometimes.
You guys know what he's talking about?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
No.
His name is first name,
Ken? Last name we?
No, he goes to the whole thing. It's low
it's low key and genuinely
and it's melded together with this
AI baby
who looks like a 50 year old
rapper.
It's crazy. Hanging a shit?
Yes. Like a CNC guy.
Let me ask you a question.
How crazy was that?
That was a great bit.
Do you think she
Do you think this is real or she's pranking me?
Your daughter?
Yes.
She's probably pranking you.
Because I use it in conversation.
Oh, you know what I used recently?
Listen to these two old dudes going through last night.
What is it?
What's the six, the six seven thing?
You got a handle on the six seven thing?
No, no, no.
No.
But that's younger.
My kids are 21 and 20.
They don't do.
That's like 10-year-old boys.
You say six-seven and then they go like this.
And what are they doing with that?
We don't know.
Something about balls.
Do they, how, you're 19.
What else you got?
I got a 14 and a 19.
Two girls.
Okay.
Great girls.
They are.
Well, of course.
Your wife is wonderful and you're wonderful.
Amanda is fantastic.
I'm a very lucky boy.
You like both your kids?
Nah.
Nah.
But here's the problem.
So, and I don't know.
Trade you, maybe one for one.
Never.
Here's what they don't tell you.
They leave.
I know.
What? I know. It's sad. So I started to pick a fight with the 19-year-old about a month before she left just so it wouldn't hurt so bad when she was late.
Yeah. Did you let her in on that?
She was just like, why's dad being so mean?
Eventually I did. She was, what are you doing? I'm going to school locally in Los Angeles.
So I was like, oh, okay. I'm sorry. Does she still live at home?
She does not live at home. She's got to live in the dorm. But she's there at SC. And so it's so it doesn't hurt quite as bad.
What was the drop-off like?
Because I embarrassed myself at both my kids' drop-offs.
How did you handle it?
There was a move-in.
There were carts.
There were furniture buckets with the carts,
and it was a hot day.
There was unattractive sweating.
I didn't mean how did you fare physically moving the men.
I know it's difficult at times.
It's a couch.
It's an ottoman.
I've got to carry stuff upstairs.
Yeah.
It's not really what I'm getting at.
Oh, you mean the emotion?
I'm a robot, John.
I don't feel much.
I was, no, again, because I knew she was just, you know,
down the 405 and across on the 10.
I could be there in a flash if I need to be.
If I start to really feel emotions,
I could drive and quell that.
She's okay with that.
You just show up.
It wasn't bad.
I'm feeling.
Yeah.
No, it was okay.
It was all right.
But, you know, somebody smart said to me when I was starting to feel, you know,
it was about a year out, and I knew she was going to be going off school.
The 14-year-old, I got some time.
This guy said to me, he said, hey, man, you're not losing your 10-year-old.
Like, you're going to be all right.
And he's right.
You know, when they get to be 18, their wings are already flapping pretty fast.
They are out of the nest multiple times throughout the week.
Like, you're not losing that little angel that still needs you to put them to bed and stuff.
They're pretty independent by that.
age and we've learned how to sort of almost become peers and it's it was smoother than I thought
it would be as far as like it's not the 10 year old saying see you mom and dad I'm out and you're
just like a mess yeah no that right yeah absolutely oh absolutely but wait yours was out of town though
no no absolutely I was the same let me tell you about so it's two flights of stairs and you know
that's hard.
Uh-huh.
And we bought him a calculator that was like as big as a desk and I carried that.
Did you fall apart?
Twice.
No, John.
Twice.
Both kids.
Ugly crying?
Bad, man.
Like, to the point where like my son literally had to slap me.
He goes, snap out of it, man.
Did you have to excuse yourself?
Go back downstairs, get in the car and get it together?
Oh, no.
So I didn't in any way.
I didn't think it was going to sneak up on me.
And I was damaged.
Like, and he handled it.
Bless his heart.
But there was a little bit of like,
I got like that when we were doing the college tours,
the college tours that were out of town and stuff.
I was like, that was not good.
All of these foreign roads and the airports.
And like, she's going to be so far away.
That was tough.
But you were worried she didn't have, let's say, a phone.
Well, but the phone.
doesn't get it done. I want my
sweet little baby angel in the
house, John. See,
that's the thing. So here's what
happens to me, and this gets back again,
to DTF.
Let's get back to the themes that
we're talking. Can we pump the product?
Yes.
Here's what's interesting to me
is, well, I'm generally a loner,
but you form this
unit, the wife and the
kids, and it really
becomes more and more,
your whole world.
I find that my friendships, I still have such love for my friends.
Yeah, but we what, right, right, exactly.
And we're so old.
We don't have anybody anymore.
It's just the kids and the wife, which is what we want.
That's what you want.
Yeah, but then they leave.
And then they leave.
And it turns out my wife still had friends.
She didn't tell me.
She planned ahead.
I, so.
We're so dumb with that.
And that is what DTF starts to cover a little bit about how we're ding-dongs.
Yes.
And we think everything's going to be unicorns and rainbows for the rest of our life.
And then you end up in a motel 6 with a woman in a strap on.
You in the ass in a hotel room.
It's a cautionary tale, John.
And it's on the HBO over there.
It's not necessarily a universal story.
but in its specificity, it is universal.
It is universal.
If you'll find out what can happen
if you really make bad decisions,
you can watch Black Rabbit over there on the Netflix.
And that's...
That's Dark Bateman.
I'm not a...
You're not a Dark Baton? Big guy?
I'm much more about...
Although...
You can drink into that.
Ozark, I was actually into the Dark Bayton.
It's pretty dark.
It's pretty dark.
But it was dark and...
Dark and Kathy's...
That's true.
Thank you.
Dark and darkies.
I told you this. I think I say,
I said, you know, to make, to have, to get on television is an accomplishment, I think.
It's so hard to get on there.
And you've gone on there.
You were.
Just staying on, you were young.
But to stay on television, that's another accomplishment.
But then to do a piece of work that is timeless like Ozar.
Thank you.
Like DTFZ.
That puts you in a whole other, that's why I say Bailey doesn't, because that puts you in a whole other.
And I know you'll agree with this.
Yes.
It's, it's, if there's a bunch of great people doing it with you, I mean, my,
God, the group you walk up on stage every year at the Emmys, it's like this, this isn't golf.
You're not, it's not playing by yourself.
It takes a village.
Yes.
I don't know what this happened, though.
You've got a real team here.
Have you made, have you guys made the adjustment now into couples' friends?
Is it now that, that?
All of my friends are her friends that I've somewhat stolen a little bit.
And thank God.
You go to basketball.
I saw you with the next game.
You brought Siddakis instead of me, which is fine.
Sadecus was previously planted.
He was already there, and it was just like, whoa, bro, look at you.
Wait, you guys didn't know that you were sitting together.
Haven't seen him for a long time.
No, that was awesome.
I can only thank the Fantastic Trey, the miracle maker over there at MSG,
who's nice to give us nice tickets.
Are you going to go?
You think you're going to make it over to the finals?
Well, I don't know if sweet tray is being real sweet.
I don't know.
Listen, it's a hard ticket.
And I'm very grateful to be there.
A bunch of nice people over there.
I'm a transplant.
I live out in the Los Angeles area.
And so they're very nice to...
Do you guys have teams out there too or no?
I've got a couple.
I mean, they're currently fishing.
But, you know, the Dodger Blue is...
I mean, you can go ahead and do that.
You can do that.
Speaking of kids,
So Oliver also has children.
His are a little bit younger.
He's got a 10-year-old that when he sees me.
So Oliver is a Mets fan and a Jets fan and all that stuff.
His wife.
That's right.
His wife is from Philly, so the kids are, see, okay.
Good sports time.
His son, 10 years old, whenever I see him, relentlessly bullies me.
about that I like the Giants, the New York football Giants.
He's an Eagles fan.
You strike him.
Just strike him.
I don't think you get how intimidating this kid is.
He's got a little size to him.
Here's what he does when he sees me.
No.
And he's Oliver's good.
Oliver's British, although his wife was in the arm,
but Oliver, I'm sure there's enough pasty Brit and the kid that I could take him.
You sure you could.
Of course you're good.
You go after his teeth.
You're weak.
You're weak.
A weak teeth.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Too soon?
I've got a British mother, so I can go after the teeth.
Yeah, I do.
Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, let's talk about that.
With the accent?
She's got the accent, but I don't hear it, you know, because it's been all my life.
Did you ever, did you have that at all when you were growing up?
A British accent?
No.
I did say anything for a long time.
That's not an accent.
That's just, that's just soft palate.
That's a mouth-formed mouth.
It's something I've been working on.
Yeah, I'm shaking it now.
But no, she didn't let me play football.
It was a lot of soccer, which I enjoyed.
Okay.
But, yeah, no.
How did dad and mom, how did that?
Is that Los Angeles guys, Angelina?
At the time he was a New York guy, and mom was based in New York as a flight attendant for Pan Am.
And he heard that there was.
But they meet in the 40s?
What are we talking about here?
It was a bit ago.
So she used to call him students back in the day.
They met while smoking chester fields.
Yeah.
He and his buddy heard about a stewardess party over there in Lower East Side,
and they went ahead and put on them smart outfits.
So they went down, they did the Lindy Hop over at the palace.
And they both got married out of that party.
Oh, wait, for real?
They went to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Found themselves a couple of stewardesses.
And wait, and the other guy married a stewardess as well?
Yeah.
Also from England?
No, I believe she was from Queens.
My dad picked first.
And this is how they did it back then, you guys.
So I hear it's a coin flip.
And those are the kind of themes that bring us back to DTF.
It really is such a good show.
And here's the thing about the show.
I had no idea how funny it was going to be, to be honest with it.
It's sneaky funny.
It's very awkward.
And it's cringy, uncomfortable.
David Harbour.
Steve Conrad, the guy who wrote every single piece.
Oh, is that true?
David Conrad wrote all the scripts and directed every episode.
I mean, he's...
And Linda Cardellini also, like...
Oh, incredible.
She does it.
What does she say?
No, sir.
Oh, boy.
Oh, oh, no way, Jose.
No way Jose.
Yeah.
It says wow a lot, too.
Says, wow.
And no, he says, like, when she's being interrogated by the police, no way, Jose.
I know.
It's so good.
You got to see it in context.
It's just.
It's getting to do more like, is it like DTF all different cities?
That would be great.
I'm not at liberty to confirm or deny.
So he's doing it.
See, this is why I lost my job at the government.
It's so good to see.
the best.

Same thing with this.
This is all solid, beautiful, solid brass.
