Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City to the only city in America. It's The
Speaker 1: Daily Show tonight, pulling back the garden. On January six,
Speaker 1: Google gets up in its feeling man, I hold a
Speaker 1: dagree it's The Daily Show with driver Dool. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Day Show. Thank you, come up for tuning out.
Speaker 1: Coming out of gonna be great ticket say it. I
Speaker 1: don't do this, Let's do this. Let us do this.
Speaker 1: We have got a jam packed show for you tonight.
Speaker 1: Russia is invading McDonald's. Google has created an AI with
Speaker 1: a soul, and we're learning that on January six, Mike
Speaker 1: Pence was actually the president. So let's do these people.
Speaker 1: Let's go straight and to today's headlines. Okay, let's kick
Speaker 1: things off with the war in Ukraine, the world's most
Speaker 1: egregious case of man spreading. Now, despite the West sanctioning Russia,
Speaker 1: despite the US flooding Ukraine with weapons, and despite you
Speaker 1: buying a Ukrainian flag iPhone case, the invasion is still
Speaker 1: somehow going on, and the Russians aren't just gaining Ukrainian territory,
Speaker 1: they're also recovering a bit of their old lifestyle back home,
Speaker 1: starting with food, because I don't know if you remember
Speaker 1: how McDonald's closed down all of its restaurants to punish
Speaker 1: the Russians. Well, now those restaurants are reopening under new
Speaker 1: management and the Russians are very excited. In Russia, the
Speaker 1: Big Max and Golden Arches may be gone, but fifteen
Speaker 1: shuttered McDonald's restaurants, they're just reopened under new branding and ownership.
Speaker 1: Russia now has its own version of McDonald's. It comes
Speaker 1: under a different name here, it's called Crusinal. The touchdowns
Speaker 1: essentially means tasty, and that's It also has a different logo,
Speaker 1: you can see it right there. Other than that, a
Speaker 1: lot of things are actually very similar to McDonald's. However,
Speaker 1: there is no Big Mac, and there also is no
Speaker 1: Happy Meal either. As you can see, the Russian version
Speaker 1: of McDonald's looks a lot like McDonald's. Do you have
Speaker 1: the double cheeseburger? Here? Fries and this is a nine
Speaker 1: piece McNuggets. It's nuggets and some sort of soft freak
Speaker 1: And if you look carefully you can see the sauces.
Speaker 1: You seem to have the McDonald's logo blacked out. Wait,
Speaker 1: what he's blacked it out and you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: wonder what this one is? Uh, but yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: The Russians have taken over McDonald's in Russia and they've
Speaker 1: given it a whole new name. And except for the branding,
Speaker 1: I mean, these restaurants are exactly like McDonald's. The sources,
Speaker 1: the burgers, the nuggets. They even broke the ice cream
Speaker 1: machine to give you that authentic feeling of disappointment, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what they did. Now they don't have branded items
Speaker 1: like Big Max or mac nuggets, but they do still
Speaker 1: have Grimace. Yeah. No, not the character, just the face
Speaker 1: that Russians make all the time. And I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: I feel like they could have come up with a
Speaker 1: better name than tasty and that's it. It almost sounds
Speaker 1: like they're hiding something. It's this them. That's sits stop
Speaker 1: busking questions like what kind of a name is that
Speaker 1: for a restaurant? Tasty and that's It almost sounds like
Speaker 1: a like a mistake, you know, like they called the
Speaker 1: guy who was making the signs and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called tasty and that's it, and the dude just
Speaker 1: wrote everything they said. Yeah, They're like the name isn't tasty,
Speaker 1: and that's it. Let me know when you're ready for
Speaker 1: the credit card number. And you know what's crazy about
Speaker 1: the story is like it shows you how powerful corporations
Speaker 1: have become in the world. Like think about it. Russia
Speaker 1: has no problem breaking international law, committing war crimes and
Speaker 1: define the United Nations. But they draw the line at
Speaker 1: violating licensing rights. That's where they won't go too far.
Speaker 1: They're like commodes you don't want to mess with. Ronald Clown,
Speaker 1: very dangerous. Like here at one time he took Elam
Speaker 1: into both was never seen again. Yeah, but blah blah,
Speaker 1: blah blah. He was not loving it, not lovingly. Let's
Speaker 1: move on from the Russian takeover Ukraine to the technology
Speaker 1: that could take over the entire world. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. It's the thing scientists are working on so
Speaker 1: that one day our computers don't just know what kind
Speaker 1: of point we want to watch, they will also be
Speaker 1: able to judge us for it. And AI has come
Speaker 1: a long way in the past few years. But now
Speaker 1: an engineer at Google is saying that AI has come
Speaker 1: a lot further than we think. An engineer with Google
Speaker 1: says the company is artificial intelligence gener Raider is self aware.
Speaker 1: Blake Lemoyne told the company, if he thinks it's AI,
Speaker 1: chatbot is a person who has rights and might have
Speaker 1: a soul. The software engineer who made the claim was
Speaker 1: put on leave for violating Google's confidentiality policy after handing
Speaker 1: documents to a U. S. Senator's office. Despite the claim
Speaker 1: the program is conscious, Google says the technology still has
Speaker 1: a long way to go. Tech experts say the AI
Speaker 1: can imitate intelligence by recreating patterns, but still can't think
Speaker 1: or act on its own apart from its programming. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't work at Google, and I'm not a computer scientist,
Speaker 1: but I have watched a lot of movies, and if
Speaker 1: there's one thing I've learned from movies, it's that if
Speaker 1: a scientist comes out saying that something crazy is happening
Speaker 1: back in the lab, and then they get fired for it,
Speaker 1: there's something crazy happening back in the lab, because Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently Google has an AI that can hold a conversation
Speaker 1: that is impossible to distinguish from a human. Yeah, Although
Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm not sure that responding to questions
Speaker 1: is really the best way to tell if AI has
Speaker 1: become a real person like you Know, when I will
Speaker 1: be convinced is when it stops responding for weeks and
Speaker 1: then only gets back in touch with you when it
Speaker 1: needs a favor. Yeah, and then I'll know it's human.
Speaker 1: It has learned. And honestly, I'm not sure who to
Speaker 1: side with them this debate, because on the one hand,
Speaker 1: you have the engineer who says that the computer has
Speaker 1: a soul, which definitely makes me think he's already had
Speaker 1: sex with it. On the other hand, the company says
Speaker 1: he's wrong. All I know is we have to be
Speaker 1: careful when we're creating these things people, because we're basically
Speaker 1: playing God here. And even God made a few mistakes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, have you seen a sloth? What are they
Speaker 1: doing with those long ass shop clause? What are they
Speaker 1: using them for? They're so cute in this little and
Speaker 1: then he gave them Freddy Krueger hands. I can tell
Speaker 1: you that day God was texting on his phone when
Speaker 1: he was doing that. Yeah, and here's my question. If
Speaker 1: Google does have this AI technology, why is it still
Speaker 1: using a crappy version for all of its suggested responses
Speaker 1: and Gmail? You guys know what I'm talking about right.
Speaker 1: Every option on your email is like, sounds good, Thanks
Speaker 1: for letting me know. It doesn't matter what the email is.
Speaker 1: I could get an email from my doctor telling me
Speaker 1: that my intestines are growing teeth, and Gmail suggested response
Speaker 1: will be like, okay, thanks, let's plan that for next week.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just think you know, we
Speaker 1: need we need to be careful with sciences these days,
Speaker 1: like we didn't listen when the COVID scientists warned us.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make that mistake again. From now on,
Speaker 1: I'm treating all of my gadgets with love and respect.
Speaker 1: I'll start it right now. Hey, Siri, how can I
Speaker 1: help you? Trevor, No, sire, how can I help you?
Speaker 1: All Right? Finally, you may not know this if you've
Speaker 1: lived here your whole life, but America has a reputation
Speaker 1: around the world for being a place where anyone can
Speaker 1: sue anyone for anything. And sometimes stereotypes are a little
Speaker 1: bit exaggerated. You know. It's like how people think in Africa.
Speaker 1: We have elephants just walking through the streets, which is ridiculous. Right,
Speaker 1: we have one elephant in the streets. His name is Henry,
Speaker 1: and he's the mayor of the town, right, so he
Speaker 1: can walk awayver he likes. Anyway, The point is the
Speaker 1: stereotype about lawsuits in America. Well, it turns out that
Speaker 1: one happens to be true. Insurance company Geico may have
Speaker 1: to pay a Missouri woman more than five million dollars.
Speaker 1: The reason for the het to pay out well, she
Speaker 1: says she caught HPV after being intimate in the car
Speaker 1: of a then boyfriend who's insured by Geico. The woman
Speaker 1: argued her man's car insurance policy covers her injuries and losses.
Speaker 1: Geico turned down the original claim, so she went to
Speaker 1: an arbitrator and then a court, both sided with her.
Speaker 1: This is a common legal occurrence known as what the
Speaker 1: fun Did you hear what they just said? A woman
Speaker 1: has been awarded five million dollars from Geico because she
Speaker 1: got HPV from sex in her boyfriend's car and the
Speaker 1: car wasn't sure by Geico. I mean, I feel like,
Speaker 1: if anything bad is gonna happen to you, you need
Speaker 1: to make sure that happens in a car from now on.
Speaker 1: You know, it could be at the beach, like, oh no,
Speaker 1: there's a shark in the water. It's a tack it's
Speaker 1: gonna eat my legs. No shark. Actually, hey shan, can
Speaker 1: we do this in my car? I uh, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get paid. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the woman too, you know, because
Speaker 1: not only did she get HPV in a Geico car,
Speaker 1: the sex was over in fifteen minutes or less. Also,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for everyone else out there who also
Speaker 1: has HPV but doesn't have five million dollar is seriously
Speaker 1: five million dollars? How did they even assess those damages?
Speaker 1: Does you have a mechanic look under the hood just
Speaker 1: like yep that puts these totals. Yep, it's done, totally done.
Speaker 1: Now apparently apparently Geico is going to fight this ruling.
Speaker 1: They say they're not gonna pay. They don't want to pay.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think this seems like great pr
Speaker 1: for how much their insurance actually covers. In fact, they
Speaker 1: need to work the sense of their ads. Geico can
Speaker 1: get you some great savings and co insurance and then
Speaker 1: you can roar dog all you want, front seat, back seat,
Speaker 1: get that interior stick here than my famously sticky feet.
Speaker 1: By that insurance, I would write, all right, that's it
Speaker 1: for the headlines. But before we go to a break,
Speaker 1: let's check in on the stock market, which has been
Speaker 1: crazy with our finance expert Michael cost to everybody, Michael yea,
Speaker 1: or why my friends, what is happening in the markets today? Well, Trevor,
Speaker 1: I am crushing it, Okay, I am crushing yeah, c
Speaker 1: R U, S, S N G H crushing it okay.
Speaker 1: And I got a hot tip if you want to
Speaker 1: make money in this market, I got a hot tip
Speaker 1: for you and for you at home or for you
Speaker 1: in the audience. Okay, So pay attention. So let's break
Speaker 1: it down. Actually, actually before we do that, though, d
Speaker 1: that HPV story, Yeah, that woman five million dollars, that's
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. That's really gonna help that next day awkward
Speaker 1: post sex phone call you gotta make. You know, It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm obligated to tell you two things. One you have HPV.
Speaker 1: Now two we're gonna be rich. You know you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But let's be honest. She has HPV,
Speaker 1: she has h p V highly paid vagina. And I
Speaker 1: know I know what you're thinking. How much is that
Speaker 1: car worth based on that settlement? I don't know. Let
Speaker 1: me check it's Kelly Blue Ball value. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm Yeah, let me get to the markets market. Okay.
Speaker 1: So markets have been down. Okay, markets have been down,
Speaker 1: and this is a bear market. Now what does that mean.
Speaker 1: It means it's getting hairy, okay, And that's what I
Speaker 1: learned this weekend during Pride. Okay, So there are some
Speaker 1: people that are into bear markets and this is a
Speaker 1: good time for them. Now Bitcoin is crashing. Nobody seems
Speaker 1: to be talking about it, and you know that when
Speaker 1: bitcoin people aren't talking about bitcoin, it's bad, all right.
Speaker 1: Who would have imagined that an imaginary economic system based
Speaker 1: on an imaginary currency where you use an imaginary wallet
Speaker 1: to buy an imaginary piece of art of an imaginary
Speaker 1: monkey playing a drum would crash? I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: now it's digital. This is digital. So as soon as
Speaker 1: I saw it was crashing, I just unplugged the computers.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's works. Well, that's why you're not
Speaker 1: the financial expert. You understand. There's a reason I'm standing
Speaker 1: in front of the chart. Now, let's break down this chart.
Speaker 1: There's a few things that we have to decipher here. Okay,
Speaker 1: first one, these numbers here people are mistaking these numbers
Speaker 1: as the date incorrect. This is the minimum height you
Speaker 1: need to be to invest in said currencies six A
Speaker 1: six nine six times. Why does it drop here because
Speaker 1: six twlve is not a real height, Trevor, okay, and
Speaker 1: it really falls at six. The market has to respond
Speaker 1: to this ridiculous not real height. Now I'm an expert,
Speaker 1: Ladies and Johnaid Okay, now these dips, Michael Costs a
Speaker 1: financial expert. When you see these dips, by the dip, okay,
Speaker 1: by the dip, blue cheese, hummus sour cream. Okay, you
Speaker 1: just lost a lot of money, all right, and you
Speaker 1: need to stay home and have some comfort food and
Speaker 1: think about your financial future. Okay. Hot tip to make
Speaker 1: some money in a market like this. In order to
Speaker 1: make money, what you need to do is get out
Speaker 1: of the market and try to get HPV in a
Speaker 1: car ensured by guy Car. You'll be happy you did so.
Speaker 1: That's something pretty sound advice. Michael Cough to everybody, thank
Speaker 1: you so much. When we come back, we'll find out
Speaker 1: why Donald Rump isn't still the president. You don't want
Speaker 1: to make its Welcome back to the Daily Show. Over
Speaker 1: the post few days, Washington, d C has been buzzing,
Speaker 1: and not just because of Joe Biden's new extensions, although
Speaker 1: they do look fly. No, I'm talking about the January
Speaker 1: six hearings, which have now officially kicked off. So let's
Speaker 1: catch up on all the lads news. You know, different
Speaker 1: people have different ideas about what happened on January six.
Speaker 1: You know, for many people, it was the day right
Speaker 1: wing fanatics attacked America's democracy. For Trump supporters, it was
Speaker 1: a field trip where they got to meet their friends
Speaker 1: from the internet. But now the Committee says that it
Speaker 1: can prove that January six wasn't just a spontaneous riot
Speaker 1: by an angry mob. It was the climax of a
Speaker 1: long coordinated plot by Donald Trump, which I don't know
Speaker 1: about you. For me is shocking, no, because I didn't
Speaker 1: think Trump could coordinate anything in advance. The man can't
Speaker 1: even plan where a sentence should end, Like, I didn't
Speaker 1: think that would happen. But according to the committee, Trump
Speaker 1: planned to overthrow the election because he knew that he
Speaker 1: had lost. And the reason that we know he knew
Speaker 1: that he had lost is because now everyone owned him
Speaker 1: spilling the beans. The committee relied on some of those
Speaker 1: closest to Donald Trump. To make its case, his once
Speaker 1: loyal Attorney general who told investigators Trump's claims of a
Speaker 1: stolen election were bunk. I told him that the stuff
Speaker 1: that his people were shuttling out to the public were
Speaker 1: bullets bullshit. I mean that the claims of fraud were bullshit.
Speaker 1: I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he
Speaker 1: has lost contact with with He's become detached on reality
Speaker 1: and the president's own daughter and senior advisor. I hate
Speaker 1: respect Attorney General barr Um, so I accepted what he
Speaker 1: sent was saying. Hours after the hearing, Trump put out
Speaker 1: a statement saying his daughter quote had long since checked
Speaker 1: out and was only trying to be respectful to Bill
Speaker 1: barr Wait wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry Ivanka checked out?
Speaker 1: When was she checked in? Because for four years it
Speaker 1: looked like she was just walking around trying to find
Speaker 1: her desk. When was she checked in? Check out of
Speaker 1: what this is? Like? A machine gun? Kelly said he
Speaker 1: was no longer pursuing a PhD in nuclear physics. When
Speaker 1: was that even happening? Was that a thing? But yeah,
Speaker 1: Trump's in a circle was well aware that the election
Speaker 1: did not go their way, and they told Trump except
Speaker 1: for one person who had the liquid courage to say
Speaker 1: that Trump did win. President Trump rejected the advice of
Speaker 1: his campaign experts on election night and instead followed the
Speaker 1: course recommended by an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just
Speaker 1: claim he won and insists that the vote counting stop.
Speaker 1: Was there anyone in that conversation who, in your observation,
Speaker 1: had had too much to drink? Uhl in the mirror,
Speaker 1: was definitely intoxicated. Yeah, According to this former Trump aid,
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani was wasted on election night when he told
Speaker 1: Trump that the election was stolen from him. And I'm
Speaker 1: just curious about how you even know when Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: is drunk. No, because when a normal person is drunk,
Speaker 1: they say crazy things, they yell, they sweach a lot.
Speaker 1: So how does that work with Rudy? Doesn't work in
Speaker 1: reverse because he started talking normally his head that sucks
Speaker 1: back into his heir. How does this work? And you know,
Speaker 1: it actually says a lot about Trump that the whole
Speaker 1: team of sober advisers, he's attorney general, his campaign manager,
Speaker 1: his his daughter who he wants to bang. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: haven't forgotten. They were all telling him you lost this election, sir.
Speaker 1: But then Trump was like, yeah, yeah, whatever, drunk vampire,
Speaker 1: what do you think? You know, when you think about it,
Speaker 1: actually makes sense that Trump would listen to a drunk
Speaker 1: person because that's the one time people probably sound like him.
Speaker 1: You know. He's just like, what do you guys think
Speaker 1: we should do? And it's just like, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I think we should do. Wow, there's something about
Speaker 1: this guy. He totally gets it. We'll get it. I
Speaker 1: at it. You yet you get it. So the January
Speaker 1: six Committee says that Trump started plotting months before the
Speaker 1: actual event, months before, and their proof that he got
Speaker 1: what he wanted is that he didn't try to stop
Speaker 1: the riot once it started. No, he can't get on
Speaker 1: the phone with the Defense Department or calling the National Guard.
Speaker 1: It turns out it was actually Mike Pence who did that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mike Pence was basically the president for a few hours,
Speaker 1: which is why we have that law now banning water
Speaker 1: for being too spicy. And it would have been bad
Speaker 1: enough if Trump did nothing, but instead he actively riled
Speaker 1: up the crowd even more. In one piece, I've never
Speaker 1: before seen video of the attack, a rioter is shown
Speaker 1: reading Trump's tweet criticizing as vice president even as the
Speaker 1: capital was breached, and how it turned the crowd against
Speaker 1: Mike Pence, like to shut a back, accurate, right, like
Speaker 1: they weren't asked previously to mind. Yeah, not only did
Speaker 1: Trump not try to stop the riot, but while it
Speaker 1: was happening, he was tweeting out statements that were rising
Speaker 1: up the mob, which is not something you expect from
Speaker 1: a presidence, you know, That's something you expect from a
Speaker 1: guy on the edge of a waffle house fights. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, he stole your fries. He should beat his ass,
Speaker 1: turn the whole store down. Yeah, I'll take your order
Speaker 1: in a second. I'm just trying to get this fight going.
Speaker 1: Come on. It was whild that that guy was reading
Speaker 1: the tweets just standing there in the insurrection. He's like,
Speaker 1: he has a message from Trump right now. You know.
Speaker 1: It would have been funny, though, is if that wasn't
Speaker 1: the only Trump tweet that got into the crowd to
Speaker 1: get them going. Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristin Stewart.
Speaker 1: She cheated on him like a dog, and we'll do
Speaker 1: it again. Are losers and haters, but my i Q
Speaker 1: is one of the highest and you all know it. Sorry, folks,
Speaker 1: I'm just not a fan of sharks, and don't worry,
Speaker 1: they will be around long after we are gone. Those
Speaker 1: riots has killed every shock that day. So the hearings
Speaker 1: showed Trump's team told him that he lost. He didn't
Speaker 1: do anything to stop the riots, and he actively added
Speaker 1: fields to the fire while the Capitol building was being swamped.
Speaker 1: But today they released one of the most damning pieces
Speaker 1: of evidence proving Trump knew his election fraud claims were fake,
Speaker 1: which is that when he asked his supports us to
Speaker 1: donate money so that he could fight the fraud in courts,
Speaker 1: he just took the money and ran. Listen to what
Speaker 1: one of their senior investigators, Amanda Wick, said about what
Speaker 1: they discovered about the way Trump and his associates raised money.
Speaker 1: The claims that the election was stolen were so successful,
Speaker 1: President Trump and his allies raised two fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred million dollars in the first week after
Speaker 1: the election. On November nine, President Trump created a separate
Speaker 1: entity called the Save America Pack. Most of the money
Speaker 1: raised went to this newly created pack not to election
Speaker 1: related litigation. And what's important about this victor. It's not
Speaker 1: just that they were peddling the big lie through these
Speaker 1: emails fundraising solicitations. They also weren't using that money for
Speaker 1: the purpose of trying to truly find election fraud or
Speaker 1: fight these court battles. That's evidence of fraud. The next
Speaker 1: question is does the Department of Justice do anything with it? Wait?
Speaker 1: What Donald Trump conned his supporters? That is so predictable.
Speaker 1: But how are you shocked by this? I mean, the
Speaker 1: man is consistent if nothing else. Honestly, if you got
Speaker 1: tricked by Trump scamming you, maybe your money deserves a
Speaker 1: bit of home. Yeah, and yes I'm victim blaming. I
Speaker 1: don't care. I will say. What impressed me about this
Speaker 1: whole thing was how fast it was this time. The
Speaker 1: second the election ended, Trump didn't weights around, he knew
Speaker 1: it was over, and then he just went full on
Speaker 1: Nigerian Prince. Yeah, just jumped in like his all scam
Speaker 1: sounded like it was an email and he's like, id on,
Speaker 1: my friend, I am the president, are their very powerful country.
Speaker 1: Suddenly I am in middle of money to send my people.
Speaker 1: Don't it today? Are your money will be used for
Speaker 1: their great fights. I'm definitely not so I can go
Speaker 1: to dinner with Kid Rock. Huh sound the money please?
Speaker 1: Sounding now? All of them more so. That's what we've
Speaker 1: learned from the January six Committee hearing so far, but
Speaker 1: there is plenty more to come, and we will keep
Speaker 1: you updated on all the news from this investigation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: from now up until the moment that Donald J. Trump
Speaker 1: is put behind boss. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You know
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be present against this America. All right,
Speaker 1: stay tuned because we're gonna be joined by Aubery right
Speaker 1: after the break. Don't go away talking about from the
Speaker 1: very show. My guest to life is after writer and
Speaker 1: comedian Iowa Debui. She's here to talk about starring in

Speaker 1: So please welcome Iowa Deburian welcome to the shore. Thank
Speaker 1: you for having me, Thank you for being here. I
Speaker 1: feel like you shouldn't have time to be here with
Speaker 1: all of the work that you're doing. I mean, we
Speaker 1: just saw a new show of yours that's going to be,
Speaker 1: you know, coming out on f X, and then like,

Speaker 1: and then on top of that, I feel like there's
Speaker 1: two other things I'm forgetting that you're doing big mouth
Speaker 1: maybe and trying to get sleep. I think, how is
Speaker 1: that going? I could call my parents more, that's yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know all the things they do be doing. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: It really has been just like a like a wild
Speaker 1: ride for you know, sling shot and the beginning of
Speaker 1: your journey is one that intrigues me the most because
Speaker 1: I read things about people, I do the research, and
Speaker 1: then sometimes it doesn't seem true. Were you study to teach? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was studying to be a teacher. Um. I wanted
Speaker 1: to be an English teacher, and then I did my
Speaker 1: student teaching. Um, And did you know that teenagers are
Speaker 1: really scary? And they will tell you when you're not
Speaker 1: a good English teacher. So I was like, maybe change careers. Um,
Speaker 1: but I was doing stand up and stuff at nine.
Speaker 1: All my friends were studying writing and I felt like
Speaker 1: people were doing this I don't know, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just was like, I've got one life, might as
Speaker 1: well try. I love the fact that the kids were
Speaker 1: so terrible. You just changed your perspective on life. They
Speaker 1: just shifted you in a new direction. It was like
Speaker 1: the opposite of any of those like movies where like
Speaker 1: a teacher's like you know, coming in the classroom and
Speaker 1: standing on the desk. Like I stood on the desk
Speaker 1: and they were like, sit down, we go home. Did
Speaker 1: did you tell them you were going? Um? No, no.
Speaker 1: I think if I told thirteen year old my dreams,
Speaker 1: I don't really think that would have gone great. You know,
Speaker 1: they might have had notes. They they are, I mean,
Speaker 1: like the reason behind all of your successful I feel
Speaker 1: like you should thank them now because they've sent you
Speaker 1: into a very successful career. You know, it's like doing
Speaker 1: it and you're crushing it at everything, Like tell the
Speaker 1: teenagers made me sad? Yeah, Um, so let's talk about
Speaker 1: the show on it's it's is it Is it a comedy?
Speaker 1: Because the moment where I feel like it's a drama,
Speaker 1: In this moment where I find myself laughing out lot,
Speaker 1: I guess dramedy. Write that down. I'm gonna right making money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is kind of in that dramedy space.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's definitely. I it's I mean, I identify
Speaker 1: as a comedian. I don't know if other people identified
Speaker 1: me of that, but identify as a comedian. And it
Speaker 1: was it felt very funny. Uh, to like be showing
Speaker 1: up to work and being like, Okay, I'm the most
Speaker 1: serious person. I'm saying like the least funny stuff I'm
Speaker 1: actually acting. I think I think it is. I think
Speaker 1: it is good. It's funny, it's hot, felt I mean,
Speaker 1: because it's it's a story about like really it seems
Speaker 1: like a ragtag restaurant. You know that it's a deeply
Speaker 1: motley crew. Yes, yes, And the food looks is it
Speaker 1: real food? It's real food. We're cooking real food. We're
Speaker 1: working in a real kitchen. Our our our set designers
Speaker 1: and our production designers are geniuses, and they created a
Speaker 1: real kitchen that felt really small, like a real kitchen
Speaker 1: in a working restaurant would but they created just like
Speaker 1: a little space, enough space for a camera to be
Speaker 1: able to move through. And I like that it has
Speaker 1: it has the feeling of like, you know, the fire
Speaker 1: is real, Rotter is real, We're real. Doesn't seem safe? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, oops, the you know, the story is
Speaker 1: really great because it's it's it's it feels like it's
Speaker 1: a commentary on the family we have versus the family
Speaker 1: we choose. You know, we see your character's journey, we
Speaker 1: see everyone's starting to to fall for each other and
Speaker 1: be in that world. It made me wonder where you
Speaker 1: feel your biggest family is, like in what industry? Because
Speaker 1: some people, let's say they're on Broadway and they act
Speaker 1: on TV, They'll go like, oh about the broad my
Speaker 1: Broadway family. You're in so many different worlds. I want
Speaker 1: to know, is there like one world where you feel
Speaker 1: like I'm at home? This is me. But if I
Speaker 1: was like Trevor with you uh first time, I would
Speaker 1: I would say thank you, thank you, And that's very
Speaker 1: creepy because we just met. That's what I would say.
Speaker 1: But I would be flattered. I would be flattered. Now
Speaker 1: I feel I feel really lucky um to uh be
Speaker 1: em embraced and feel like I get to learn in
Speaker 1: so many spaces, and I feel like I have a
Speaker 1: lot of curiosity and I want to do a lot
Speaker 1: of things and do them well. And I feel like
Speaker 1: the places that I've been able to work and the
Speaker 1: people that I've been able to work with, like a
Speaker 1: lot of them are just really great mentors and friends.
Speaker 1: And so I feel like in a lot of spaces,
Speaker 1: in writing and in stand up, and I guess now
Speaker 1: in acting, like I have people who I so deeply earnest.
Speaker 1: The stand up in me is like, oh, but I
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think it's good to be earnest.
Speaker 1: I feel like you should be proud of what you've done.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not an easy journey. Are your parents proud?
Speaker 1: My parents are backstage, so I hope that they're proud.
Speaker 1: They're backstage tapping their toes. They're like, oh, we got notes,
