You're listening to Comedy Central. You know, there are two people who really help us see the world in really interesting ways. I feel like it's Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian. For different reasons. Like, I feel like Donald Trump has gotten more people interested in politics than ever before in history. You know? Before him, nobody knew who the like energy secretary was. They knew like no one really cared, no one, and then Donald Trump came and people are like, screw you Betsy Davos, Ben Carson, blah. No one, but then Trump like brings you in, do you

know what I mean? You get involved. And then I feel like Kim Kardashian does that with like issues. Because I'm amazed at how many people suddenly became historical, just like buffs and they were so passionate., and they, and they, and they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and th. And, and th. And, and, and, and, thi, thi, like, like, like, thi, like, thi, like, thi, like, like, like, like, thi, like, like, like, thi, like, thi, thi, and they were so passionate, they're just like, overnight. I don't remember, there were many people who, you know, they've been passionate about costumes and the preserving of fabrics and outfits for decades. That's their profession. But those people, versus everyone who's angry on the internet, as if they've always known. They were just like, and did you know, when you wear a dress, it dissolves your ump and your sweat? No.

Oh, I've always known this. Have you? You really know this? I didn't know this. Oh, and a museum has rules about what it can and can. I didn't know a museum. I didn't know the museum. I thought museums just choose whatever they want. I thought they make the rules and they figure it out. I don't know they were like actual rules about what they should and shouldn't do. Do you know what I mean? Like sometimes they'll put like a dinosaur bones.

Just put it in the museum. that you can't, if they said we could slide, I'll slide, you know? And people be like, wow, could you slide on dinosaur bones? Wow, look nice, look fun. Everyone just gets into it, you know. It's weird. Everyone's an expert on the dress now. I've always known what you should do. But if you always knew, why weren't you angry that it was at Ripley's, believe it or not? I feel like your anger should have started there.
