Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news.

This is the Daily Show with your host, Jesus Nice! Welcome to the Daily Show. My name is what? Be extra? Yeah! Welcome to the Daily Show. My name is what? Thank you. Unfortunately, it's my last night hosting. I know, I know. But it's been an awesome week. My biggest disappointment is I wasn't able to mention the Bronx 144,000 times.

I was hoping for more. So one last time, BX all day! Anyway, we've got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into some headlines. Let's kick things off with the Supreme Court justice who's accepted more gifts than make a wish kids. Clarence Thomas! So every day there's a new story about Thomas accepting lavish gifts from his rich ass friends and not reporting any of it.

And now Thomas is in more hot water because someone bought him a jacuzzi. I'm just kidding. It was an RV. Clarence Thomas has been an RV evangelist for decades. Traveling the country in a 40-foot luxury motor coach that he purchased in 1999 after borrowing more than a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend But a new report from Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee alleges Thomas's friend Forgave a substantial amount of that massive loan and nine years later his friend forgave all the debt The IRS considers debt forgiveness as a form of income, but Thomas never reported it on his financial disclosure forms, a likely

violation of federal ethics rules. And he never reported it on his tax returns, potentially owing money to the IRS. Does longtime friend Anthony Welters, who loaned him that money? He is defending this arrangement, saying, quote, I loaned a friend money. We've all been on one side of the other of that equation. No, we have not. Okay? I've never had a friend just give me, I don't know, $250,000? Hell, last week I bummed a cigarette from my guy Tommy. He sent me a Venmo request.

I do have a question for Clarence's rich friend. You want hang some time? Like, y'all, let's catch a Knicks game. I got court-sized seats to be paid for them. But Loki, I'm disappointed in Clarence. If you're going to take a bribe, it should be extravagant like gold bars and diamonds. This is depressing. You better end abortion because you want someone else to let you drive a bus? Also, they said that driving RVs is Clarence Thomas' favorite thing in the world.

Look at my man's face. This is what Clarence Thomas looks like when he's happy? I'm enjoying this. Hooray. All right, let's move on to an issue plaguing America's schools. Softness! Data collected by the CDC finds roughly 14% of public schools say they deal with instances of bullying every day or at least once a week, although it may be lower in New York

schools. According to a new study, New York ranks 39th out of 48 states for bullying prevalence in schools. Damn. New York's not even number one in bullying anymore. We invented bullying. Yo, how do we get some stuff? Our state model used to be, y'all'm gonna see your ass at 3 o'clock. Yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on. It's my last night, let's go, let's go. And we need bullies. Getting bullied motivates nerds to make billions of dollars. Listen, if Jeff Bezos has fun in high school, we still have to go to Stripmore to buy socks. And I know where some of you are going.

This story's not funny. My kid got bullied. I mean, I can see where they get it from. Shit. And finally, let's talk about dating. And finally, let's talk about dating. thiyse. thiiolours, you got big plans this weekend, taking a lady out on the first date, guess what? No matter where you're going, it's already terrible.

A list of unacceptable places to take a woman on a first date is going viral on social media and it's leaving men stumped on where else to go. On the list, Cheesecake Factory took number one, followed by the olive garden, Chipotle and chilies. It ain't so. But other places mentioned include movies, the gym, coffee and ice cream dates, and a bar for drinks. Absurd. Clubs and hooka lounge has also made the list. Wait, that's every place.

Wait, that's every place. So you can't go to a bar. You can't go to a club. You can't invite a girl over to my boy's house while the six of us watch a movie on a Macbook while sharing one blunt? That's crazy! Now I don't know how scientific this list is. It kind of looks like he just wrote it in his notes app.

Also some of these are really specific, like a bar just for drinks. So Shorty's like, I also get the calumari. The guy's like, just drinks. So tell me more about yourself. Yo, for more of this store, we go live to our senior dating correspondent, Ronnie Chin. takes. A legend! A legend! Get up from America! Ronnie, my God, help me out here.

Where do women like going on a first date? Jesus, I'm glad you asked, okay? If there's one thing I know, it's hard to charm women with my sweet, fucking personality. First dates are easy. You just gotta keep expectations low. Take them here to the Sparrows at the Port Authority. God damn, the Port Authority? At least go to the Sabahows at Grand Central dog? No, no, no, Grand Central has a fancy clock, okay? A first date can't have a fancy anything. If you take her to a fancy restaurant, she'll be like, oh wow, he must be able to pay rent. Believe me, you don't want that pressure, right?

Just get her a cold slice of pizza next to a garbage can and a pomejohn shaker that has COVID on it. Let her know where the bar is. Low. Okay, I see. That's economical. No drinks. meals. All you're paying for is a slice, right? No, no, you idiot. You're not listening. All right? If you buy her a slice, you're always going to have to buy her a slice. And who am I? The pepperoni king? Right? On the first day, you show her what she's in

for. That's why on my first date, I'm 30 minutes late, I zone out when she's talking, and that's time I start a secret family. Okay, but what if she doesn't want to go to Sabaros? Okay, well then you meet at a five-style restaurant and then you walk her to the nearest Sabarrows. Okay, what if she's lactose intolerant? Yeah, that's fine. Okay, look, there's a bunch of options for bad first date. Okay, you could take her to a funeral, you could take her to the DMB, you could invite her to an argument with your ex. And if you really want to upset her, just take her to a Nix game.

Get out of here, get out of here, man, the season just started. Great saying, everybody! Great tank everybody. When we come back, I'll tell you you paid too much for sports stadiums. Don't go away. Hey, everybody. John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast. The weekly show. It's going to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly

Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the Daily Show.

Growing up I lived across the street from Yankee Stadium. I could hear the crowd. I could smell the glizzies. Wight to the daily show. Growing up I lived across the street from Yankee Stadium. I could hear the crowd. I could smell the glizzies. White people, those are hot dogs. When Red Sox fans asked me for directions to the stadium, I point them straight to the projects. It was beautiful. Then in 2009, they built a new Yankee Stadium right next to the old one and it

looked basically the same. It was like Drake's last two albums you couldn't tell them same. It was like Drake's last two albums. You couldn't tell them apart. But there was one huge difference. The cost to the public. The city handed over 20 acres of public parkland and a billion dollars to tax paper money. So the house that Ruth built really became the house that you and I built. Well, mostly you, I'm a sovereign citizen, I don't pay taxes. But this happens all the time.

Just last year, New York gave the Buffalo Bills $600 million to build a new stadium. 600 million. That's almost as much as NYPD spends to stop $50,000 worth of turnstile jumping. So how does this happen? Why are billionaire owners getting welfare to build stadiums? It's something I want to talk about in tonight's long story short. All right, right now we're in a sports stadium building boom, and just about every one of them is funded by taxpayers. So how are billionaire team owners able to get these sweetheart deals?

Easy. When asking for taxpayer subsidies, teams come to a community like a dude asking for open marriage. Nah, girl, it's not just good for me. It's good for you too. Now they say these stadiums will spread economic growth throughout the community. Construction jobs, restaurants, Taylor Swift Body Doubles. Now come on now, you think she's watching Travis Kelsey

and doing a show in Argentina an hour later? Nah, that math is not math then, come on. Yeah, see? Now, these owners also claim these stadiums will increase property values, which is one of the biggest lies in the world. What kind of cycle is like, yeah, I want 50,000 drunk idiots pissing on my stoop every night? No way, bro. If any drunk idiot is going to piss on my stoop, it's going to be me.

Next, they promise to donate money to the community or build affordable housing. And if none of that works, they they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they they they they they they their their their their their their the th promise to donate money to the community or build affordable housing. And if none of that works, they threaten to move the team. And it usually works, because even though using taxpayer money in stadiums is usually unpopular, losing a team could end a politician's career. Like for example, if Mayor Eric Adams lost us in Nix, he would be deported all the way back to his real home in New Jersey. But the truth is a lot of the time those owners are bluffing and we know that because they admit it. David Samson, the former president of the Marlins largely credited with pulling off the worst stadium deal for Miami-Dade taxpayers. It's actually a pretty easy playbook. I get a lot of credit for doing the Marlins Park deal, but it would be a the that at the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their the their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I was. I was. I. I was. I was. I w. I. I w. I. I w. I w. I w. I w. I w. I w. I w. I w. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm the the true. true. true. true. true. true. true. the the th. the their their their their their their their their their their the former president of the Marlins, largely credited with pulling off the worst stadium deal for Miami Day taxpayers. It's actually a pretty easy playbook. I get a lot of credit for doing the Marlins' Park

deal, but it really wasn't very difficult because Miami did not want to lose its baseball team and all we had to say is that we're ready to leave Miami if we don't get a deal done. Let me ask you, were the marlin's going the marlain's going the marlain is going the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar the mar. leave Miami, David? Truly. Absolutely not. See, these guys are full of shit. They were never going to leave Miami because no one ever leaves Miami. Like even people who are just visiting don't leave Miami. Now the cousin who went to a bachelor party six months ago, he's still in a club partying with BBLs. So the teams get their free subsidies and now that they have their brand new stadium that boost their value. But don't worry, because in return the city gets hundreds of millions of dollars worth of

jack shit. Economists who study stadium subsidies say little or none of the money makes it back to taxpayers. One economist estimated that the contribution of a professional baseball team is similar to that of a mid-sized department store. As a University of Chicago economist aptly put it, if you want to inject money into the local economy, it would be better to drop it from a helicopter

than in a new ballpark. Wait, that's an option? Yo, I wish they dropped a giant bag of money in my neighborhood. Like, rest of the piece of the person and lands on, but it'd be a payday for the rest of us. So, the economic boost they promise doesn't pan out. And I know that personally, because I saw that in the Bronx. In exchange for that 20 acres of parkland, the Yankees promised to donate $40 million to affected areas.

But the immediate community has not seen a dime from the team. And more immediately, and more importantly, we haven't seen a World Series in like 20 years old. Like, if you want to screw my community out of 40 million, fine. That's business. But me not getting a ring, that's business. But me not getting a ring, that's personal. I mean at the very least, these teams could toss out some more shirts during games. Like, how do you have 25,000 fans in the arena and only toss out 10 t-shirts? And they're all-sized Excel? Do mediums cost more?

Like, how do you have 25,000 fans in arena and only tos out 10 t-t-shirts they're all-sized Excel? Do mediums cost more? And also, could we please get a t-shirt cannon that could hit the 300s? What the fuck? Up top in the row! Up top! And the thing that really gets me heated, these stadiums aren't even that old. Stadiums for the Braves and the Rangers last like like, to to to to their, toe, toe, toe, toe, their, and toe, th, th, and th, th, and th, th, th, and th, th, and their, tho, and tho, their, their, tho, and to-s, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, tos. tosk, tosk, tosk, tosk, tosk, tosk, tosk, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, Stadiums for the Braves and the Rangers last like 20 years before they built new ones.

You can't be replacing a stadium that Leonardo DiCaprio would still hit. I'm not going to be in Titanic too, sorry. But you know what the worst part is? How much it sucks for the fans? Because suddenly the team they've been rooting for their whole lives starts to their lives, thanks, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiomoman, thi, thi, thioma, you thiomom----------------------------------------------a, ththa, ththa, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, than, than, thananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan, than, th, th, th, sorry. But you know what the worst part is? How much it sucks for the fans? Because suddenly the team they've been rooting for their whole lives starts extorting them for a fortune. And all they can do about it is to go to the stadium and cuss out the owner. Which is what they did in Oakland.

Check this out. A's fans packing the Oakland Colocececeocococococococ like forever to send a blunt message to the athletics top brass. A season best crowd of nearly 28,000 A's fans came out to the Coliseum for what was deemed a reverse boycott, which encouraged owner John Fisher to sell the team so it can remain in Oakland instead of moving to Las Vegas. Tonight, the Coliseum erupted with one-of-a-kind champs and cheers. Salvatie! Salvatie! Sotomayor, Fisher sucks!

Fisher sucks! Fisher? Fischer? Get the hell out of here? 30,000 people are going to show up tonight to show John Fisher that he sucks. That's how you do it. Listen, I'm an East Coast boy, but Oakland, paying $20 to cut out a man you've never met is big New York energy. Respect. But, long story short, politicians got to stop falling for the stadium griff.

If we're getting ripped off by team owners, it should be the old way. We're $14 bud lights. All right, when we come back, D-Smoke will be joining me on a show. Don't go away, ya! Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking

about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a Grammy-nominated rapper whose latest single is called Work Hard, Play-Hart. Please welcome to homie D. Smoke. D-Smoor! Oh my God! What's that? How's it going? Amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing man.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you go up with no good. So you used to teach Spanish and music theory in Inglewood High School. I did. Well, I taught Spanish at Inglewood High School, ultimately I ended up teaching music theory. And then you have the show, the Netflix show, rhythm and flow. Absolutely. And you want.

I did. Did any of the students, theyms, to come, to come, to, to, to, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, th. students come back like you know I couldn't even know I didn't even know you could spit like that? Man I run into my students everywhere because if you think I talk for over like seven years and stuff and so and so you run him run into them on hiking trails and they're like thank you and they're like mr. Farrs he was like he was a good teacher but you're a better rapper I'm like I don't know what that means and so they're they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th I tho to they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to to to to to too too too too too too to too too too to too to too too to too to too to to too to too was like he was a good teacher, but you're a better rapper. I'm like, I don't know what that means. Also, if your students are on hiking trails, you're a good teacher. Hey, you know what I'm saying? You know, they process, they're breathing.

All right, we just did a segment about bullying in schools and they actually said California is number in bullying? High schoolers or rappers? I'm gonna have to say high schoolers easy. High schoolers, they're not, man, they're heartless sometimes, you know, and I think the teachers sometimes are easy targets. You know, they're like, oh, you have a job to protect and all that, so they'll shoot, at the teacher and they'll shoot at the their, and they, and sometimes, and sometimes, and sometimes, and sometimes, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, 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're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, to take the teacher hat off and be like, man, that's why your mama, no, you know, you know, and just shoot back. You know what, it's crazy because when you, when you, when you take off the cool hat and you shoot back at the students, then they're like, okay, he's not playing. Let me just let me respect them.

It's just, you know, it's not necessarily the best circumstances under which to reach people, you know, like you have to do certain things, you know, whereas the things that really impacted me the most are certain books that changed my life one of which was the alchemist you know and for me I'd like to believe I've written the hood alchemists you know and so yeah so I'm super proud of that got you and now in this current musical environment what advice could you

give a new artist if they really want to stand out because there's so many new artists out there absolutely I mean I always tell artists two the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. I mean, I always tell artists two things. I tell them, extend the runway, right? Give yourself more time than people tend to. Everybody's trying to hit home runs, right? Everybody wants to blow up. But if you grow up, nobody can take from you what you built. If you grow up, be consistent. What changed my life is, what got me on rhythm and flow is that I was putting something out once a week consistently with a visual.

So I'm talking about if it took me, putting a tripoday, filming it myself and editing it, every Friday you was going to get a new piece of content. And I knew what my creative advantage was. I spoke Spanish. I'm not going to use the way. I was a black man from Inglewood speaking Spanish. You know what you're saying? Gotcha. Gotcha. And I knew people hadn't seen that. So I'm like, let's demonstrate that and mix it with some of the content, some of the message and do it once a week. And then we started getting the phone call call. So a lot of people think. Oh, rhythm and flow. Rhythm and flow. Rhythm. Rhythm and flow. the the the'm saying, to be a part of that. So, thank you for coming through. One part, Play Hard is available now. You want to take a quick break, but we're right back after this.
