Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Jo from the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's America's
Speaker 2: only source for news. This is The Daily Show with
Speaker 2: your host Michael Costa.
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show.
Speaker 3: My God, I'm Michael Costa.
Speaker 1: We have so much to talk about.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden has a new fan, Donald Trump is afraid
Speaker 4: for his life, and RFK Junior is reaching out to
Speaker 4: only people weirder than he is. So let's get into
Speaker 4: all of it with our continuing coverage of Indecision twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four.
Speaker 1: Let's kick things off with polls.
Speaker 4: There's a new one every fifteen minutes, even though none
Speaker 4: of us have ever met a single person who's participated
Speaker 4: in one, but whatever, someone's doing them. But a new
Speaker 4: poll was out today that reminds us that no matter
Speaker 4: how dumb our leaders are, we the people are even dumber.
Speaker 5: The Guardian did like a commissioned Harris poll for Americans
Speaker 5: and how they feel about the economy. Fifty five percent
Speaker 5: say the economy is shrinking. Fifty six percent say the
Speaker 5: economy is in recession, which you know we know on
Speaker 5: SANBC is not the case.
Speaker 4: Forty nine percent believe the SMP is down for the year,
Speaker 4: which seems incredible, which.
Speaker 5: It's up about thirteen percent and twenty three percent last year.
Speaker 5: Forty nine percent also say unemployment is at a fifty
Speaker 5: year high. In fact, unemployment is at a fifty year
Speaker 5: low or near there, under four percent.
Speaker 4: Right, all right, So just to summarize, we think the
Speaker 4: economy is shrinking when it's actually growing, that the stock
Speaker 4: market is down when it's actually up, and that unemployment
Speaker 4: is that a fifty year high when it's actually near
Speaker 4: a fifty year low. But we do know that benefits
Speaker 4: on the rocks, so we're not completely pathetic.
Speaker 1: I mean, it might just be me, but maybe.
Speaker 4: As a society we shouldn't have replaced newspapers with dudes
Speaker 4: ranting in cars. I don't know, and look, in a way,
Speaker 4: I get it. People don't judge the economy based on data.
Speaker 4: They're like, you say, the GDP is up, but I say,
Speaker 4: I used to be on my cousin's Netflix account and
Speaker 4: now I have to get my own. So yeah, Jerome Powell,
Speaker 4: we're in a recession, okay, But you have to remember, Yeah,
Speaker 4: these are not surveys of Americas.
Speaker 1: These are not surveys of Americas.
Speaker 4: These are surveys of Americans who are willing to talk
Speaker 4: to a stranger who cold calls them in the middle
Speaker 4: of a work day. What I'm saying is these people
Speaker 4: are not normal. I mean I ignore phone calls from
Speaker 4: my own mother. That's normal, you get it. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 4: get three, four or five calls in a row. You know,
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of texts, like the cars filling up
Speaker 4: with water. I don't have time for this, mom. I'll
Speaker 4: see you at Thanksgiving. That's normal either way. Clearly Joe
Speaker 4: Biden needs to do a better job of getting word
Speaker 4: out about the healthy economy. Maybe he needs a hype man, right,
Speaker 4: you know how like Notorious Big Had P Diddy. P
Speaker 4: Diddy could do it. What's he up to?
Speaker 6: What is he?
Speaker 1: I guess he's not available right now?
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: While Biden has his work cut out for him trying
Speaker 4: to win over people who aren't fully informed about the
Speaker 4: stock market, one of his rivals is going after a
Speaker 4: much smaller group of people who are obsessed with it.
Speaker 7: US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior is now trying
Speaker 7: to appeal to amateur traders on Reddit who call themselves
Speaker 7: apes and intentionally invest in distressed companies like game Stop.
Speaker 8: The politician going on to say that he personally invested
Speaker 8: twenty four thousand dollars in game Stop between a company.
Speaker 8: But is our new campaign poster showing Kennedy and an
Speaker 8: actual ape, each holding what appears to be a falcon?
Speaker 4: Wait, wait forget game Stop, but why does this picture
Speaker 4: look like he's on a honeymoon with that falcon?
Speaker 1: Are they in love?
Speaker 4: Or is the falcon just trying to get a better
Speaker 4: angle on that worm.
Speaker 1: In his brain.
Speaker 4: Now you might think it's weird for RFK Junior to
Speaker 4: be going after this tiny little specific group, but don't
Speaker 4: forget America is just a bunch of tiny little specific groups.
Speaker 4: First he gets the redded Apes, Then he gets the Furries,
Speaker 4: then the tradwives, cottage, core, TikTok, Disney Adults, Jet Blue
Speaker 4: frequent flyers with Mosaic Elite status, and the next thing
Speaker 4: you know, it's January and he's.
Speaker 1: Giving his State of the Union from burning Man.
Speaker 4: Let's move on to Republican candidate Donald Trump. Recently he
Speaker 4: took over the Recently he took over the Republican National Committee,
Speaker 4: and today someone sent him a housewarming gift.
Speaker 9: We begin with breaking news from the Republican National Committee
Speaker 9: headquarters in Washington, d C. It was placed on lockdown
Speaker 9: this morning after vials of blood were set to the building.
Speaker 1: According to multiple.
Speaker 10: Sources, we've learned that package was addressed to former President
Speaker 10: Donald Trump and it contained two vials of blood.
Speaker 4: What the fuck is going on? Someone sent blood to
Speaker 4: the RNC. I guess that could just be Rudy Giuliani's
Speaker 4: lunch order. I mean, but even so, why is anyone
Speaker 4: sending blood through the mail? It's twenty twenty four people
Speaker 4: fax it, but seriously, don't send blood to the RNC.
Speaker 1: That's reckless. Not eve going to end up on their
Speaker 1: mailing list.
Speaker 4: But you can see why Donald Trump might be freaked
Speaker 4: out by this, because, as you may have heard, someone
Speaker 4: is trying to assassinate him.
Speaker 11: Donald Trump is now claiming that the FBI raid on
Speaker 11: mar A Lago two years ago was actually Joe BI
Speaker 11: attempt to assassinate him. He pointed to wording in the
Speaker 11: search warrant that allowed the FBI to use lethal force
Speaker 11: if necessary, which the FBI says is standard protocol in
Speaker 11: any search.
Speaker 12: But in a fundraising email to supporters, Trump wrote they
Speaker 12: were authorized to shoot me, and you know they're just
Speaker 12: itching to do the unthinkable. Joe Biden was locked and loaded,
Speaker 12: ready to take me out. Holy shit, locked.
Speaker 1: And loaded, ready to take me out.
Speaker 4: I've never heard Joe Biden sound so fucking cool in
Speaker 4: my life. I always thought of him as a doddering
Speaker 4: old man. Yeah, I always thought of Biden as a
Speaker 4: doddering old man. But Donald Trump makes them look like
Speaker 4: one of the expendables.
Speaker 1: The rest of you, the rest of you take.
Speaker 4: What you want, believe the Orange Man to me, can
Speaker 4: you takee wheel of fortune?
Speaker 1: This might take a little while.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: Personally, I think it would be very difficult to assassinate
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, mostly because he would never get that close
Speaker 4: to a book depository. But regardless, I don't think Trump
Speaker 4: actually fears getting assassinated by Joe Biden. And the reason
Speaker 4: is because he announced it in a fundraising email. If
Speaker 4: you're dodging bullets, you don't stop to wave your venmo
Speaker 4: QR code, you know, Please somebody send money. For more
Speaker 4: on this so called assassination conspiracy, we go live to
Speaker 4: Josh Johnson.
Speaker 1: God, Josh, what's the latest?
Speaker 7: Hi, Michael, I'm at Joe Biden's campaign headquarters. In the
Speaker 7: Donald Trump assassination room, and the mood here is frustrating.
Speaker 4: Wait, Joe Biden actually is trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
Speaker 7: Oh of course Trump is one hundred percent correct, all right,
Speaker 7: Bibe's been trying to take him out for years.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 7: The entire FBI RA was their best chance. They were
Speaker 7: gonna roll into mar Alacco corner Trump in his office,
Speaker 7: surround him like Scarf Race, and then be like and
Speaker 7: the Secret Service is gonna be like.
Speaker 8: Stoo still stoooo.
Speaker 7: And then Trump was gonna be lit up like mission accomplished.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's how guns sound.
Speaker 7: That's because you're not from the streets.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, fine, But if they were trying to assassinate Trump,
Speaker 4: why would they raid his house on the day that
Speaker 4: he wasn't even there.
Speaker 7: Look, they're trying to find Trump. But the guys like
Speaker 7: the win. When was the last time you saw him?
Speaker 7: I saw him yesterday.
Speaker 4: He's been at the New York Courthouse every day for
Speaker 4: two months. And when he's not there, he's at a
Speaker 4: rally that he promotes on his website.
Speaker 1: Damn, how'd you know that.
Speaker 7: You should join the ta, you can stand right next
Speaker 7: to me hit him with some of thatty.
Speaker 4: Ugh, Josh, Josh, Josh. I'm positive that's not how guns sound.
Speaker 7: Wow, suburban white boy gonna tell me about guns?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right, Oh you're laugh at that.
Speaker 7: Like you ever caught a body?
Speaker 1: Cost Look, hold on, hold on, let's get back to
Speaker 1: the story. This is huge news. Is Biden still trying
Speaker 1: to take Trump out?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Everything in Donald Trump's life is a Joe Biden
Speaker 7: plot against him, even the poison poison? Yeah, what do
Speaker 7: you think, KFC is you think that's just a business. No, No,
Speaker 7: it's a seventy seven year long plan to clog up
Speaker 7: Trump's arteries. All right, and that's not all. Did you
Speaker 7: ever notice that Trump has been aging one day every
Speaker 7: single day that Biden's been president. You think that just
Speaker 7: happens to people? Wake up, Michael, It's a secret plot
Speaker 7: to kill Trump with natural causes. This is diabolical.
Speaker 4: I mean, isn't that just how time works? Why would
Speaker 4: Biden do something that complicated? Trump said a president has
Speaker 4: total immunity to take.
Speaker 1: Out his rivals. Why can't Biden just use a drone?
Speaker 7: Ooh, Costa, you smart?
Speaker 6: You sure?
Speaker 7: You don't want to be on the assassination tape, like,
Speaker 7: because the drones will be coming down like cuckoo.
Speaker 4: Drones don't sound like birds. I know that, then why
Speaker 4: they in the sky?
Speaker 7: Okay, country Club, Costa is gonna tell me a man
Speaker 7: from the streets what a military grave predator drones sounds like?
Speaker 1: It's not important.
Speaker 4: Look, Biden is wasting so much time trying to take
Speaker 4: out Trump, he's gonna end up losing the election to.
Speaker 7: Him, exactly, And the stress of that job will kill
Speaker 7: Trump for sure.
Speaker 1: No, but Trump was already president and he's fine.
Speaker 7: Yeah for one term, but give him three or four
Speaker 7: more terms and he's done for Okay, and that's the
Speaker 7: Biden brain baby.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the perfect plot, Josh Johnson.
Speaker 1: Everyone, I mean, when we come back, we actually find
Speaker 1: some fans of Joe Biden. Don't go away. That's the party.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: There's plenty of endangered species out there, but in American politics,
Speaker 4: there's one species more endangered than most.
Speaker 1: Troya Wata has more in this election.
Speaker 13: Republicans have their writer die candidate who they want to
Speaker 13: be president forever, and Democrats they also have a guy
Speaker 13: so the.
Speaker 10: Best way to get something done if you hold near
Speaker 10: and dear to you that you.
Speaker 6: Like to be able to.
Speaker 7: Anyway four more years.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has an enthusiasm problem.
Speaker 13: The polling shows that Democrats are not enthused Joe Biden.
Speaker 14: Democrats are not excited.
Speaker 13: But maybe we in the media are out of touch.
Speaker 13: I hit the streets to ask what do voters really
Speaker 13: think of Joe Biden?
Speaker 7: Not the most excited?
Speaker 13: I mean it's okay, I wish I was more excited
Speaker 13: on a scale of one to ten, probably somewhere arount
Speaker 13: of two or three. How would you compare that to say,
Speaker 13: seeing some really beautiful latte art? I would put that
Speaker 13: maybe as a five. Could you point on this graph
Speaker 13: how you feel about voting for Joe Biden? Okay, some pain,
Speaker 13: But if you couldn't tell by the stick and pok
Speaker 13: tattoos and Warby Parker glasses, these people were all Democrats.
Speaker 13: There must be something they like about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He's big ice cream guy. Hm, you can't vote against that.
Speaker 14: What do you think his favorite flavor is vanilla?
Speaker 4: One hundred percent?
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's got to be a superman.
Speaker 15: You know, he's our president.
Speaker 13: He's our president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, slap that on a T shirt.
Speaker 13: It I expect him to kind of behave like a
Speaker 13: president as opposed to like this child.
Speaker 6: He definitely is not a child.
Speaker 13: But then I found one person whose passion whelmed me
Speaker 13: on a scale of one to ten. How excited are
Speaker 13: you about voting for Joe Biden?
Speaker 1: Eleven? Eleven? Oh my god? Is this Joe Joe Biden?
Speaker 13: Or is this like the famous coryon Instagram named Joe
Speaker 13: Biden that I'm not aware.
Speaker 14: Of Joe sniph Robin and Biden.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was this full name Junior.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's an older one.
Speaker 12: Wow.
Speaker 13: Who was this guy? Against my better judgment, I followed
Speaker 13: him to his car.
Speaker 7: Oh my god.
Speaker 13: Oh okay, it's a cardboard cutout.
Speaker 1: Before I get your.
Speaker 13: Car, I have to ask, this isn't a sex thing, right?
Speaker 14: It is not?
Speaker 6: Okay? Good? Yeah?
Speaker 14: I didn't think so.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Oh oh my god.
Speaker 1: You have Kamala too?
Speaker 14: Do you have the whole cabinet in there?
Speaker 13: Where's your cutout of acting Labor Secretary Julie Sue Julie
Speaker 13: Julie Meet Dakota Galvin, Joe Biden's biggest and only super fan.
Speaker 13: Could he hold the key to helping Biden defeat Donald
Speaker 13: Trump and his maga army. Trump has this huge fan
Speaker 13: club of tens of thousands of really intense weirdos, and
Speaker 13: Biden has you.
Speaker 14: Why do you think that is?
Speaker 15: There's sort of like a cult mentality going on there.
Speaker 15: I think they have an unnatural devotion to a single person, right, cult.
Speaker 14: Like devotion to one man?
Speaker 6: Am I right? Okay?
Speaker 14: Let's talk about the cardboard cutout? Why do you keep
Speaker 14: him in your trunk?
Speaker 13: Don't you want to just see him in the morning
Speaker 13: and say, what's up?
Speaker 6: Joe?
Speaker 14: Well, my boyfriend isn't his He's less enthusiastic. Oh my god,
Speaker 14: having him watch us at all times? Oh my god,
Speaker 14: you have a boyfriend, I do?
Speaker 13: Okay, Setting aside the question of whether the boyfriend was
Speaker 13: also a cardboard cutout, when did Dakota first realize he
Speaker 13: was Biden curious?
Speaker 15: I was a senior in high school in twenty twelve,
Speaker 15: and I had just come out of the closet and
Speaker 15: Joe Biden has announced his support for marriage equality, and
Speaker 15: you thought.
Speaker 13: To yourself, he's a little young right now to be president,
Speaker 13: but maybe in eight years he'll be ready.
Speaker 14: At the time not so much.
Speaker 15: But this man literally came out of retirement to save
Speaker 15: our country from white supremacists and fascism.
Speaker 14: So you like him more now than when it was
Speaker 14: just Obama's white friend. Absolutely.
Speaker 13: Oh that's a strong endorsement at a time when Joe
Speaker 13: Biden is so unpopular that somehow hating him is uniting
Speaker 13: pro Israel.
Speaker 7: And pro Palestine protesters.
Speaker 13: So what does Dakota see in this guy is his swag,
Speaker 13: his whispery voice, what's left at his hair?
Speaker 14: Mostly his policies. There's so manyit chips from really wow.
Speaker 14: See I can't even think of any so go up.
Speaker 14: I would think.
Speaker 15: When he came into office, he immediately got to work
Speaker 15: with the American Rescue Plan. He followed it up with
Speaker 15: a bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the Chips and Science Act, the.
Speaker 14: Chips and Salsa Act, Chips and Science. Oh, you know,
Speaker 14: maybe to policy more, but I think you're right.
Speaker 15: There was his eightieth birthday when he had old candles
Speaker 15: on his cade.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I guess we can have fun with glaring reminders
Speaker 13: of his age. Turns out the things they get Dakota
Speaker 13: excited are different from other voters.
Speaker 7: What did he think their problem.
Speaker 15: Was, well, he is an older, straight white gentleman, and
Speaker 15: in Democratic circles that's usually not what gets us excited.
Speaker 13: You know, I don't think there's anything we can do
Speaker 13: about his oldness or his whiteness. But do you think
Speaker 13: he would consider exploring his sexuality?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 13: Rash sure, Joe Biden tumbler fan fiction aside. Could Dakota
Speaker 13: get Democrats fired up about Biden?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Not like that.
Speaker 13: I'm going to pretend to be someone who's not overly
Speaker 13: enthused to vote for Joe Biden, and they want you
Speaker 13: to convince me.
Speaker 14: All right, yeah, okay, I'm ready. Do you love living
Speaker 14: in a democracy?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, I've got the perfect candidate for you
Speaker 14: to vote for. Who is it? It's the current president,
Speaker 14: Joe Biden.
Speaker 15: Oh well, you know it's a vote for normalcy, insanity,
Speaker 15: and you know, keeping the institutions that have built our
Speaker 15: constitutional republic for centuries.
Speaker 14: Keeping things the same as they are now, with minor improvements,
Speaker 14: with minor improvements.
Speaker 13: I mean, I guess one thing that's good about Biden
Speaker 13: is he doesn't have the baggage you know, say that
Speaker 13: Hillary has.
Speaker 14: You know, I love Hillary.
Speaker 13: Come on, maybe I've been focusing on the wrong thing.
Speaker 13: Maybe it isn't the voters that need the pep talk,
Speaker 13: it's Joe Biden and Dakota has some advice that will
Speaker 13: shake the political landscape forever.
Speaker 14: I would say, keep doing what you're doing, but do
Speaker 14: it better.
Speaker 13: Yeah, way to pump them up. Well, there's always twenty
Speaker 13: twenty eight especially.
Speaker 14: Can I please sit in the front. No, I'm sorry,
Speaker 14: I can try and we come back.
Speaker 16: Jab Smow will be drunning on the show. If you

Speaker 10: know how you were ruined, big big oil?
Speaker 1: What right? What I liked about that clip was the
Speaker 1: dick hole for the car. You still had to get
Speaker 1: out and walk to it. I was thinking, you to it?
Speaker 17: What's that?
Speaker 3: What's hey?
Speaker 6: Whatever?
Speaker 7: He set up perfect, man.

Speaker 4: like just check you a dick hole?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 10: Curb Kurb has no no script, you know, it's only
Speaker 10: an outline based on the idea for the for the episode.
Speaker 10: But that changes also based on where you go. It's
Speaker 10: just like branches. It's branches everywhere right forking road.
Speaker 6: And you got a tooth, but you want to go.
Speaker 4: It's fun in particular to watch you because everyone's playing
Speaker 4: a little bit of an exaggerated version of themselves, but
Speaker 4: it seems like you're playing a completely different character.
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that? Is that a fair assessment?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 10: You know what I have to say?
Speaker 6: What Leon would say, right, you know.
Speaker 10: And it's one of those things where I get caught
Speaker 10: up in this guy's world. I truly do ye where
Speaker 10: I just I'm not myself right, I'm a compassionate heart
Speaker 10: woman guy. Of course, we got we share some cadence
Speaker 10: maybe little things here, yeah, delivery.
Speaker 6: And stuff like that.
Speaker 10: He swears a lot, and you haven't even sworn.
Speaker 6: I'll get to that, but anyway, Yeah, he swears a lot.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 10: One time, you know, I was driving home from set okay,
Speaker 10: and I call my wife Artie calling, how was your day?
Speaker 6: You know that was great? Well, she says all the time,
Speaker 6: what did Leon say today? What did Leon say?
Speaker 10: But that's that's that's what curb is, man, it is
Speaker 10: truly you are creating on the fly, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what's a wonderful wife. I mean, I called
Speaker 4: my wife in the way home and.
Speaker 1: She's like, here's what needs to happen tonight. We got
Speaker 1: lunches to make.
Speaker 10: We got this and I love that it's full updated
Speaker 10: what went down today.
Speaker 4: When people meet you, do they want JB, do they
Speaker 4: want Leon?
Speaker 1: Do you give them Leon?
Speaker 10: They call me Leon all the time. It depends who
Speaker 10: they are. And you know, but I got a lot
Speaker 10: of Leon.
Speaker 1: You see that as a compliment.
Speaker 6: It's a compliment, you know.
Speaker 10: I always say life is like a series of checkpoints.
Speaker 6: I like that you find out.
Speaker 10: What they love about you in the moment. Okay, okay,
Speaker 10: and maybe something that will come along there. People won't
Speaker 10: forget about Leon, but maybe y'all charter a new path.
Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, some other amazing character will pop up.
Speaker 1: I mean, you debuted in Curb in season six.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, it's seventeen years later, you're here talking to me
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: Was crazy that trout somebody I was.
Speaker 4: I was two years old when you debuted, can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this business. You don't get a
Speaker 1: job thinking I'll be doing this for cemetery.
Speaker 6: Get it.
Speaker 10: Sometimes you get a job and you don't want to
Speaker 10: know if you are gonna be.
Speaker 6: On the next season. Yo.
Speaker 1: So I truly.
Speaker 6: Gues It's not even a joke, Joe. It's real. It's real.
Speaker 10: Sometimes you gotta take a job. You gotta take a friend,
Speaker 10: you gotta take somebody's lady.
Speaker 6: Sometimes you gotta take stuff. I get it.
Speaker 10: But that's how you get there, and you do a
Speaker 10: great job, and you just be in the moment and
Speaker 10: you do exactly what they're looking for, and you give
Speaker 10: them more of what the want.
Speaker 1: Talking about I mean, I love it.
Speaker 7: And then that you know, but there is.
Speaker 10: I mean, there are terms of the screw that you
Speaker 10: got to figure out what your character like. Like on Curb,
Speaker 10: I decide in the moment, you know, I don't decide
Speaker 10: before I get there. I don't decide based on what's written.
Speaker 10: I decide in the moment. If I want to have
Speaker 10: Larry's back, we'll go against him, which is a fascinating way.
Speaker 6: I trying to find out what's going to be the
Speaker 6: best path.
Speaker 10: What the what am I gonna get the most funny
Speaker 10: out of having his back or fighting with him?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, good fight, it's always great.
Speaker 4: But there's also takes of you deciding and it doesn't
Speaker 4: work right or is just JB always I mean because
Speaker 4: it is fun watching because you see Larry sometimes crack
Speaker 4: or even see in his eyes he goes, I don't
Speaker 4: know what's happening to this?
Speaker 10: Ye yeah, yeah, but yeah, that's where the stand up
Speaker 10: part comes in.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask you about stand up.
Speaker 10: That's when it comes in there, because we we as
Speaker 10: stand ups, we we have to be able to read people.
Speaker 10: I could be in a room full of two thousand
Speaker 10: people in the audience. I have to find that one
Speaker 10: who's not left. I know, right, he's just like, I know, yeah,
Speaker 10: I see you man, you know, but I think.
Speaker 4: And you don't think, oh I'm making one thousand, nine
Speaker 4: and nine of people laugh.
Speaker 1: You think, what's wrong with this?
Speaker 6: Mother? Yeah exactly? Yeah, yeah, but that's what I do.
Speaker 6: That's why it's that's that's what we do.
Speaker 10: Not just improv people, but stand up comedians have a
Speaker 10: unique we can feel.
Speaker 6: We're like we call the impath.
Speaker 1: We're like empathpath.
Speaker 6: We we like we can feel your energy. We feel it.
Speaker 6: We know when to move on to the next bit.
Speaker 10: The dicilots in our ear goes up and comes back
Speaker 10: down to a certain level, and we know to move on.
Speaker 6: Not even we got a little opening for the next bit.
Speaker 10: But we gotta read people, and we gotta I gotta
Speaker 10: read him because I'm trying to honestly make a snop
Speaker 10: bubble come out his.
Speaker 1: But also when you do.
Speaker 10: A good slife, you make somebody app and it makes
Speaker 10: a slop bubble come out.
Speaker 6: That's that's the ultimate.
Speaker 4: But what's what's interesting about that too, is he's also
Speaker 4: your boss. He's on walls, so you gotta think about
Speaker 4: that too.
Speaker 6: But but but you gotta keep people on your toes too, man. Yeah,
Speaker 6: because look, man.
Speaker 10: Yeahs are dems are Like you said, I came on
Speaker 10: in season six, this train was already moving. Have you
Speaker 10: ever jumped on a moving subway train?
Speaker 6: I have not.
Speaker 10: No ship is daring and fascinating. It's fascinating and depth defying.
Speaker 10: It's depth defying.
Speaker 17: Right.
Speaker 10: But because you almost lateful work already late for work, right,
Speaker 10: you jumped between cars. I gotta be a work at
Speaker 10: a certain time we get fired. But anyway, I don't
Speaker 10: recommend you're doing that. But the train was already moving, right,
Speaker 10: So I had to sit there and figure out, jump
Speaker 10: on the train that's already moving. That's already amazing successful show.
Speaker 6: You know that.
Speaker 10: I was a big fan of the show, and my
Speaker 10: wife manifested me being on the show.
Speaker 1: I read that.
Speaker 10: I told me I was gonna be on that damn show.
Speaker 10: I said, I love this show so much, I'd love
Speaker 10: to be on this show one day. I said, you're
Speaker 10: going to be on that show one day. I love
Speaker 10: that lo and behold that sweet lady. Seventeen years later,
Speaker 10: lady man she told me I was gonna be on
Speaker 10: that show. But yeah, I go even back further. The
Speaker 10: first thing I ever did was I took an improv class,
Speaker 10: oh before I even started doing stand up, because I
Speaker 10: wanted to find out who I wanted to do stand up.
Speaker 10: I wanted to find out who I want to be
Speaker 10: on that stage and off that stage because you once
Speaker 10: you create your character, you're writing off stage, which also
Speaker 10: writing on stage because now you're listening to what people
Speaker 10: love about you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've read that you you you have said
Speaker 4: stand up has been a vehicle for you that you
Speaker 4: get on it, you get off it, you take it somewhere.
Speaker 4: And that fascinates me because there's definitely a compulsion of
Speaker 4: stand ups that like I always do stand up, I'm
Speaker 4: a stand up.
Speaker 1: I'm a stand up.
Speaker 4: But have explain to me, elaborate what you mean by
Speaker 4: stand up is a vehicle for you?
Speaker 10: Stand up is your vehicle because you got to take
Speaker 10: care of it.
Speaker 6: You got to maintain it.
Speaker 1: Yep, you gotta love to drive it.
Speaker 6: You gotta love to drive it.
Speaker 10: Man, that's your vehicle to get to any place you
Speaker 10: want to get to. Stand up stand up comics also
Speaker 10: take the drama of the world and we convert that
Speaker 10: drama because we have a different filtration system. We are
Speaker 10: deep minded. We are we are we've been through a lot.
Speaker 10: We can take everything we've been through and rearrange it
Speaker 10: to make you laugh about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah. We are also therapists. We touch on things. We
Speaker 6: touch on things that.
Speaker 10: Only we can touch on it in that way. Yeah,
Speaker 10: if you look, man, if you get rid of the comedian,
Speaker 10: you might as well just die. I'm telling you, because
Speaker 10: there's no way in hell you could take the brunt
Speaker 10: of the real world every day without somebody who's able
Speaker 10: to take that world, filtrate it, put it through their
Speaker 10: body and give it.
Speaker 6: Back to you in a manageable form. I love. No
Speaker 6: one can do that but a comedian. I love that.
Speaker 1: Last question for you, Urb Curb is done.
Speaker 6: JB.
Speaker 1: Smooth is not done. No, what's next for you?
Speaker 6: What do you got going on? Man?
Speaker 10: Look, this is this is the time where you know.
Speaker 10: The cool thing about what I have accomplished throughout my
Speaker 10: career is people don't understand this, but a lot of
Speaker 10: times I gotta make time for curb, okay, and not
Speaker 10: the other way around, because you know, commercial campaigns, TV shows, movies,
Speaker 10: you know, shitting every time.
Speaker 4: Every time I'm Frank the plant, every time I look
Speaker 4: on there's.
Speaker 10: You dress a Caesar, there's Season, there's white Claw, There's

Speaker 10: And people out there, please don't be afraid of the
Speaker 10: power of no. Do not be ever afraid of the
Speaker 10: power of no, because another opportunity is gonna come around.
Speaker 10: Right So now it's time for curbas one. It's one show.

Speaker 10: a year. Curb is one show that takes a few
Speaker 10: two or three months to shoot, and I'm done the
Speaker 10: rest of the year.
Speaker 6: I gotta be. I gotta be on the go. I am.
Speaker 10: I am a big hustle man, I truly do. But
Speaker 10: I find a way that remain grounded. I found a
Speaker 10: way to also figure out what's next for me, you know. Therefore,

Speaker 6: I'll just be very plain and simple.
Speaker 17: I was in the State of the Union address and
Speaker 17: Joe Biden must have been jacked up on something that day.
Speaker 17: I absolutely believe that from a medical viewpoint.
Speaker 8: What do you mean when you say it was jacked
Speaker 8: up at the State.
Speaker 6: Of the Union.
Speaker 17: I believe they gave him something to help him sustain
Speaker 17: the lights and sustain the vigor that he had that
Speaker 17: was not Joe Biden. I was in there. He screamed
Speaker 17: for two hours. He screamed for two hours. And you know,
