Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City to only city in America. It's the Daily
Speaker 1: Show today Election days, almost hears investigating the poll worker
Speaker 1: shortage and Gabriel election. It's the Daily Show with Driver
Speaker 1: dool Everybody, welcome to the Danny shot strapping backing. So
Speaker 1: much for tuning out, Thank you so much for coming
Speaker 1: out where you stay around the studio trick of seeing everybody.
Speaker 1: Let's do this. We've got a massive pre election show
Speaker 1: for you tonight. Donald Trump is come for Rhondo Sanctis.
Speaker 1: Democrats are more nervous than a chihuahua in a rainstorm.
Speaker 1: And I guess everyone has a good relationship with their
Speaker 1: fathers because no one wants to work the polls. So
Speaker 1: let's do these people. Let's come straight into today's headlines.
Speaker 1: All right. Before we get into the big stories, let's
Speaker 1: catch up on a few other things going on in
Speaker 1: the world, starting with our old friend COVID nineteen. According
Speaker 1: to the CDC, there are now six new variants, all
Speaker 1: competing to become the dominant strain this winter. What they
Speaker 1: don't realize is that they're all competing with the strain
Speaker 1: that's already infected most of the country called the I
Speaker 1: don't give a ship about any of this anymore strain,
Speaker 1: you know, honestly happy a little bad for the variant
Speaker 1: that becomes dominant now, you know, yeah, because like everyone
Speaker 1: has stopped caring. It's kind of like if you want
Speaker 1: an early season of American Idol, then you were famous.
Speaker 1: But if you win season thirty four, now is it's
Speaker 1: just a story you tell your coworkers at the coffee machine,
Speaker 1: you know. And I was like, I'll have my decalf
Speaker 1: if you saw me last night I won the American Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll have that report to you soon, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: But remember, to all those COVID variants competing against each
Speaker 1: other right now, I just want you to remember, it's
Speaker 1: not about winning or losing. It's about this all right,
Speaker 1: getting into someone's lungs and ruining their week. Remember that.
Speaker 1: In social media news on Friday, Elon Musk kicked off
Speaker 1: his new job as the head of Twitter bye by
Speaker 1: laying off I like how you built your booth. He
Speaker 1: kicked off as the head of Twitter by laying off
Speaker 1: half of the workforce, even fired the bird. It was terrible.
Speaker 1: It was last scene in a parking Lot Dick for
Speaker 1: ms all Relax. Relax, Dick is just a bigger worm.
Speaker 1: But it turns out it turns out Musk got a
Speaker 1: little ahead of himself because this morning he's reportedly trying
Speaker 1: to rehire dozens of people that he just fired after
Speaker 1: realizing that he actually needs them. And I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna put it out there. Uh.
Speaker 1: If he's handling Twitter like this, I don't know how
Speaker 1: comfortable I would be going with this dude to Mars.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I don't want Ellen walking into my
Speaker 1: cabin one day, like, hey, guys, turns out how I
Speaker 1: accidentally fired the team that was bringing the oxygen. But
Speaker 1: we'll be fine if we just stopped breathing for sixty
Speaker 1: nine months. Both in UH, in sports news. In sports news,
Speaker 1: congratulations to the Houston Nastros who beats who beat the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday to win the two World Series. Yes,
Speaker 1: and this was great news for Texas except for all
Speaker 1: the people who are to see head crews smile. And
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people in Philly. You know,
Speaker 1: they're blackout drunk fighting in the streets and then they
Speaker 1: had to watch their team lose. Alright, let's move on
Speaker 1: some of the biggest stories of the day, starting once
Speaker 1: again with the mid term election, that time in American
Speaker 1: politics where the voters get to send their order back
Speaker 1: to the kitchen because they don't like how it tastes
Speaker 1: too much inflation anyway, But the big day happening tomorrow,
Speaker 1: it's time for us to catch up on all the
Speaker 1: latest updates in our ongoing coverage of vote demic. So
Speaker 1: here we are people. After months of campaign speeches, TV ads,
Speaker 1: spam text and fundraising emails. The mid terms end tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad, especially because I won't be getting in
Speaker 1: all those spam texts they were killing me, especially the
Speaker 1: ones that start like a booty call, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, Trevor, you up. I'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: to say the Senate's law. But tomorrow it all ends,
Speaker 1: and with so many type races, both parties are pulling
Speaker 1: out all the stops down to the wire, a wall
Speaker 1: to wall weekend of campaigning in the battle grounds, candidates
Speaker 1: locked in neck and neck battles, bringing out the big guns,
Speaker 1: the biggest names from both parties, spanning out across the
Speaker 1: battleground states that will decide control of Congress. Three presidents
Speaker 1: past and present, flooding Pennsylvania, holding jeweling campaign rallies, fundamental
Speaker 1: rights on the bolt. Democracy itself is on the ballot
Speaker 1: the sen Now, even Oprah Winfrey has now jumped into
Speaker 1: this race. She discovered Dr Oz, worked with him for years,
Speaker 1: but now announcing her endorsement of Fetterman. But I will
Speaker 1: tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I
Speaker 1: would already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons. Wow,
Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey coming out and not just coming out, she
Speaker 1: came out against doctor Oz, the man she created, the
Speaker 1: TV doctor she made famous. And that's always how it goes. People.
Speaker 1: At some point in life, you have to kill the
Speaker 1: monster you create. Yeah, Dr Frankenstein, his creature, Obi Wan
Speaker 1: and Anakin. Parents and their kids. Every parent knows that
Speaker 1: they will eventually come when you have to fight your
Speaker 1: children to the death to determine who will control the
Speaker 1: remote control. But still Oprah going for Fetterman must have
Speaker 1: broken doctor oz Is heart. Luckily he has the perfect
Speaker 1: cure for that. Doctor oz Is broken hearts dietary supplement.
Speaker 1: It'll enhance your mood and only turn your poop yellows
Speaker 1: some of the time. Get it now before the FDA
Speaker 1: outlaws it again. Now, it's not just Oprah, it's not
Speaker 1: just the Democrats. Are bringing everyone out, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: which you have to admit is bad news for the Democrats,
Speaker 1: right because the bigger names that you bring out to
Speaker 1: support you in the mid terms means the worst you're
Speaker 1: doing a right, Like, if I was a Democrat in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: this would be making me nervous, you know, I would
Speaker 1: just be like, guess what Obama is coming to the
Speaker 1: riting tonight? Oh boy, and he's bringing Beyonce. Oh ship,
Speaker 1: We're so screwed. And the truth there's Democrats are nervous
Speaker 1: right now because they've got a lot stacked up against
Speaker 1: them in this election. Inflation is high, crime is up,
Speaker 1: pickle ball is taking over for some reason, and all
Speaker 1: of that is sending Democrats into full on panic mode.
Speaker 1: President Biden is warning that American democracy is at risk,
Speaker 1: but it may not be enough to stop a red
Speaker 1: wave tomorrow night. A lot of Democrats, whether they're elected officials,
Speaker 1: party leaders, strategists, are panicked that they feel like things
Speaker 1: are not going well. For them in the mid terms.
Speaker 1: Right now, President Biden heading the traditionally blue Maryland today
Speaker 1: after a stop Sunday in another Democratic stronghold, New York.
Speaker 1: Get out of the vone now, the President giving a
Speaker 1: last minute boost to New York Governor Kathy Hogel, running
Speaker 1: in a now unexpectedly tight race against Congressman Lee Zelden
Speaker 1: in a state that hasn't elected a Republican governor in
Speaker 1: two decades. Yeah, that's how bleak it is looking for
Speaker 1: Democrats right now. They're scrambling to salvage a governor's race
Speaker 1: in New York, New York, which is crazy. New York
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a given for the Democrats. You know,
Speaker 1: this is this is like having to beg your stalker
Speaker 1: to like one of your posts on Instagram. It's like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, my fates are in this one. It's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's just not doing it for me anymore. So, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the expectations are that Republicans are going to have a
Speaker 1: very good election and that Democrats are in deep trouble.
Speaker 1: But keep in mind, keep in mind that's all based
Speaker 1: on the polls, which I'll be honest bugs me about
Speaker 1: American politics because like polls are just like an idea is,
Speaker 1: like what a person says, what they maybe are going
Speaker 1: to do, and that's why they're often wrong. In fact,
Speaker 1: these days it feels like they're wrong a lot more
Speaker 1: than their rights. You know, if you went by the
Speaker 1: polls in the last election, like think about it, Susan
Speaker 1: Collins would have lost her election by six points. Instead
Speaker 1: she won it by nine a right, Lindsay Graham was
Speaker 1: tied in the polls, but instead he destroyed his opponents,
Speaker 1: and according to the polls, Joe Biden was supposed to
Speaker 1: win by eight points. Instead he had to steal the election.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know, And there are a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons. There are a lot of reasons why the
Speaker 1: polls could be off. You know, you don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: the posts are biased, maybe people who are answering or
Speaker 1: answering sarcastically like oh, I would love to vote for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, but the poll doesn't get that. Or maybe
Speaker 1: the polls could be wrong because the only people who
Speaker 1: aren't supposed with the craziest people ever. Have you ever
Speaker 1: answered the poll? Huh? No, If you got a call
Speaker 1: from an unknown number, you don't answer. What do you creep.
Speaker 1: In fact, anytime a pollster get someone to participate, the
Speaker 1: next call is probably to the police. It's just like hello,
Speaker 1: nine one one, Yes, someone just picked up my call
Speaker 1: and spoke to me for ten minutes. You should go
Speaker 1: check their freezer for body parts. Yeah, it's Warrior. But
Speaker 1: even though the two election isn't over yet, it looks
Speaker 1: like the four campaign might already be underway. According to reports,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is planning to announce another run for presidents
Speaker 1: as soon as the mid terms were over. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he's gonna wait for the mid terms first because he
Speaker 1: wants to do the responsible thing and see if his
Speaker 1: election denies get into power so they can steal the
Speaker 1: election for him. He's waiting. It's good. And even though
Speaker 1: he hasn't officially announced that he's running a Trump is
Speaker 1: already taking shots at some of his rivals in the GOP.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, meanwhile, and Florida Governor Rhoda Santist, held competing
Speaker 1: rallies in the state of Florida yesterday. While Trump urged
Speaker 1: Flurryan to vote for de Santists in his race against
Speaker 1: Democrat Charlie Christ, the foreign president also took a swipe
Speaker 1: at the governor as a potential opponent. We're winning big, big,
Speaker 1: big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody's
Speaker 1: ever seen before. Let's say there it is Trump at
Speaker 1: seventy one, Run to Sanctimonious, said Mike Pants at seven,
Speaker 1: or Mike started better than I thought. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: he'd be dead by now. I guess that's always next time.
Speaker 1: He's doing better. By the way, I love how Trump
Speaker 1: always gives speeches on the Tomac right in front of
Speaker 1: his plane. Have you noticed how he that like the
Speaker 1: door is opened, the stare. It's almost like he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to spend one second longer than needed with those people.
Speaker 1: He's just like, keep the engine running. I want to
Speaker 1: leave this ship hold town as soon as I say
Speaker 1: good night. In fact, just dangle me from a hendicop
Speaker 1: then pulled me up when I'm done. I want to
Speaker 1: get out of here before these red knecks can touch me.
Speaker 1: You saw what they did to Mike Pens. These people
Speaker 1: are dangerous. But the reason that speech is going viral
Speaker 1: is because of that bitchy little swipe at run de sanctimonious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you saw that, breaking out a classic Trump nickname. I
Speaker 1: mean at least we think it was a nickname. It
Speaker 1: could have just been Trump trying to say the Sanctists,
Speaker 1: you know him sancton dons. And what makes the story
Speaker 1: even better is that apparently Trump has been privately testing
Speaker 1: nicknames for Runda Sanctus yeah, which is amazing to me.
Speaker 1: The man is at a meeting with his team of
Speaker 1: lawyers and he's like, all right, all right, enough of
Speaker 1: all the ways that I could go to jail, what
Speaker 1: do you guys like better? Rhonda sanctimonious, round ship heads
Speaker 1: which one? Right now? Right now, it looks like a
Speaker 1: Trump versus the Sanctus feud is breaking out into the open.
Speaker 1: And you know, usually when two men fight in Florida,
Speaker 1: it's at a Margaritaville at one am. But this, this
Speaker 1: is a lot more high stakes, which is probably why
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans are upset with Trump for going
Speaker 1: after the Sanctus. Yeah, because they're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: We love Rhonda Sanctus, He's our guy, And Trump is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, that's why I hate him, because you see,
Speaker 1: people don't realize that's the one thing Trump hates more
Speaker 1: than anything is anyone having what he thinks should be
Speaker 1: his spotlight. That might be the thing that destroys the
Speaker 1: Republican chances in Donald Trump cannot stand not being the
Speaker 1: sense of attention. Yeah, I bet he got jealous when
Speaker 1: his kids were born. You know, it's like congratulations. It's
Speaker 1: a boy's like. I'm also a boy, and I've been
Speaker 1: a boy much longer, so long. Many people not We're saying,
Speaker 1: I bet boy of all time. All right, that's it
Speaker 1: for the headlines. Before we go to quick break, Let's
Speaker 1: check it on the stock market with our finance expert,
Speaker 1: Michael cost To everybody, Michael Gray, he's crazy found in
Speaker 1: the economy. What is happening in the market today? I
Speaker 1: am crushing it. I mean also, I bet big on
Speaker 1: the World Series. I did you know some of you
Speaker 1: think sports betting seems risky, but not the way I
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, here's what I do. I bet on
Speaker 1: the Astros and I hedged against the phil Least, so
Speaker 1: I actually one on both sides. Then I packaged the
Speaker 1: winnings into a credit default swap that I sold off
Speaker 1: to a retirement community in exchange for equity into their homes. Now,
Speaker 1: it's tough, it's complicated, but all you need to know
Speaker 1: is that I own most of your grandmother's houses. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: it's called finance, all right. Now, I got a hot
Speaker 1: tip for you, so pay attention. Okay, I got a
Speaker 1: hot tip for you. But first let's get to this chart. Okay. Look,
Speaker 1: this is Twitter going private, and this is the biggest
Speaker 1: thing to happen to Wall Street since the cocaine shortage
Speaker 1: of nine. All right, Now, I was there, Trevor. It
Speaker 1: was the scariest hour and a half of my life. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: Twitter was a publicly traded company, and then after this
Speaker 1: right here, it's private. Okay. Does everybody understand that public private?
Speaker 1: All right? Your opinion matters here because you're a member
Speaker 1: of the public. But then after a single owner took over,
Speaker 1: everybody can shut the up about Twitter. Okay, unless you
Speaker 1: have forty four billion dollars. It doesn't matter what you think, Trevor.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Twitter? I think it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what you think, Trevor. Okay, Okay, yeah, I hate
Speaker 1: to do it. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks about Twitter.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, here's what I think about Twitter. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk is having a tough time with Twitter right now,
Speaker 1: and Here's how we know that, Trevor, because everyone on
Speaker 1: Twitter is talking about Twitter. That's not good. Okay. It's
Speaker 1: like in my house when things are going great, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the neighbors. But when my wife sits me
Speaker 1: down and says we need to talk about us, well,
Speaker 1: obviously she did something wrong. Okay. And everyone's questioning Elon's
Speaker 1: decisions and what he's doing. But let's not forget the
Speaker 1: man has ten kids, right, you know, overwhelming that is.
Speaker 1: I have one kid. Last night my hair was in pigtails.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing lipsticks, singing the Frozen theme song. My son
Speaker 1: is seventeen years old. All right. The point is kids
Speaker 1: drive you crazy. I mean, look what Ellen did. He
Speaker 1: fired people. Now he's hiring the fired people back. He
Speaker 1: begged advertisers to stay. Now he's threatening them if they leave.
Speaker 1: But but of course advertisers want to leave. Twitters getting
Speaker 1: too toxic. Can you imagine if you're a brand now
Speaker 1: you don't want to be on the timeline. It's like
Speaker 1: Nazi Nazi, cheese doodles Nazi Nazi. You at least wanted
Speaker 1: to be like cheese doodles Nazi Nazi Nazi. The tricky
Speaker 1: situation that Ellen finds himself in is that Twitter is private. Now,
Speaker 1: remember this is the part of the chart where I
Speaker 1: told us to shut the up, right, But it's a
Speaker 1: platform that only runs on public opinions. So if everyone
Speaker 1: leaves Twitter better, it's worthless, which brings me to my
Speaker 1: hot tip. All right, if you have forty four billion,
Speaker 1: just keep it back. That's a great set for the
Speaker 1: people of forty four billion, Michael cost to everybody. All right.
Speaker 1: When we come back, Dasil will find out even more
Speaker 1: reasons to be worried about the election. Don't go away,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show Actor. Two years of votes,
Speaker 1: of fraud, accusations and capital riots, it's no surprise that
Speaker 1: Americans have become less confident in their elections. But as
Speaker 1: Daisy Ltic discovers in her new series, America's election infrastructure
Speaker 1: maybe in even worse shape than you think. Hello again,
Speaker 1: I'm Daisylidik. Elections they're a good gauge for measuring who
Speaker 1: your class considers the smartest, prettiest, and coolest, unless you're
Speaker 1: up against Rachel Pearson, who just brought everyone cupcakes because
Speaker 1: her dad is rich. But is our election system as
Speaker 1: full proof as we think, I continue to investigate in
Speaker 1: my ongoing pullits are grab of a segment vote demic
Speaker 1: are crumbling election infrastructure Rachel. Previously I explored the paper
Speaker 1: shortage that could affect ballots this election, but something tells
Speaker 1: me that's not the only problem we're facing. I'm back
Speaker 1: with Tammy, a Democracy Fund Tammy. We gotta talk to
Speaker 1: find out what else could go wrong. So last time
Speaker 1: when we discussed pre election, what about election day itself?
Speaker 1: What are we looking at? We don't have enough poll
Speaker 1: workers what so part of the challenge with poll workers
Speaker 1: is that we need hundreds of thousands of them every election,
Speaker 1: and in this moment, we have a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are saying they don't want to come back. Some
Speaker 1: of our former poll workers are aging out. We don't
Speaker 1: have as many young people stepping in. And part of
Speaker 1: that is because of the incivility that we have around
Speaker 1: elections right now. People are being threatened and they're not
Speaker 1: really wanting to serve in a role where they subject
Speaker 1: themselves to um the onslaught of ridicule sometimes from their
Speaker 1: their fellow community members. Yeah, if they wanted to do that,
Speaker 1: they would become comedians just kidding, but Tammy's right. It's
Speaker 1: becoming harder and harder to find Americans to be poll workers.
Speaker 1: We have a poll worker shortage in this country. There's
Speaker 1: a poll worker shortage because of the constant barrage of
Speaker 1: harassment at our office. A lot of us across the
Speaker 1: state are worried about how it will affect even poll
Speaker 1: worker recruitment. And under these conditions, why would anybody want
Speaker 1: to work the polls? In elections? It tends to really
Speaker 1: be all about the food. So if you talk to
Speaker 1: poll workers the election day pot luck, there's a pot luck,
Speaker 1: you will not believe their enthusiasm around the topic who
Speaker 1: should bring what? Who doesn't bring enough? I love a potla,
Speaker 1: I love a pot luck. I needed to find out
Speaker 1: more about this pot luck poll worker problem. So I'm
Speaker 1: in Maryland, one of the many states with low poll
Speaker 1: worker numbers, to talk with election director Tracy Dickerson. Can
Speaker 1: you explain to me what a poll worker does? A
Speaker 1: poll workers our first line of defense. Without them, we
Speaker 1: can not run in an election. They check in voters,
Speaker 1: they issue ballots, and they also maintain the integrity part
Speaker 1: of the election. Do you ever, just for fun try
Speaker 1: to get people to vote one way or the other. No,
Speaker 1: we don't do that. In here. We're election officials and
Speaker 1: we're on nonpartisan, nonpartisan, completely nonpartisan, absolutely not. We take
Speaker 1: it serious serious, we don't. We don't joke about that.
Speaker 1: And here, yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't joke. Stop winking. Okay,
Speaker 1: why are we experiencing poll worker shortage right now? It's
Speaker 1: it's hard to say. The atmosphere in elections has has
Speaker 1: to drastically changed. Some poll workers receive threats or when
Speaker 1: people come into vote, they get stuff thrown at them.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that is an issue, but they're
Speaker 1: in dire need, and I believe they're in dire need
Speaker 1: across the country. Have you tried offering some perk stock
Speaker 1: options for own k, that sort of thing. Unfortunately that
Speaker 1: poll workers are only more or less volunteer, So people
Speaker 1: basically do it for their community because their job is
Speaker 1: so important you cannot run an election without them. Gosh,
Speaker 1: So would you say this is a thankless job or
Speaker 1: an incredibly thankless job? Uh? Yeah, it's a thankless job
Speaker 1: because nobody thinks about it until it's an election year
Speaker 1: and they just assume that the polling places show up
Speaker 1: and that they're just there. Someone should come along and
Speaker 1: just say thank you. Just say thank you, and someone
Speaker 1: will because you deserve it. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I heard that there's a pot luck happening
Speaker 1: where people bring a lot of delicious food. Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that true? Absolutely? They actually set up full fledged
Speaker 1: banquet type meals. Is that free to the public? You know,
Speaker 1: it's basic. It's for the poll workers, right And how
Speaker 1: do I become a poll worker? You could sign up
Speaker 1: and take training. Damn it. I decided to give poll
Speaker 1: worker training a try and was loving a lot, But
Speaker 1: when it came to the most important part of poll working.
Speaker 1: I heard there was a pot luck situation. When did
Speaker 1: that start up? Does that start now? Could happen on
Speaker 1: Monday night or election day? So that's not happening today today? Okay,
Speaker 1: So if pot lux aren't going to save democracy? What
Speaker 1: is My name is Joel? I'm a veteran and I'm
Speaker 1: also a board member with VET the Vote. What is
Speaker 1: VET the Vote? So? VET the Vote is a nationwide
Speaker 1: public awareness campaign to recruit a hundred thousand election poll
Speaker 1: workers this year. What have you learned from being a
Speaker 1: poll worker? You know, if anyone doubts like how polling
Speaker 1: stations are run or the outcomes of elections of like,
Speaker 1: come in and see the process. You'll see like the
Speaker 1: two party integrity around every boding machine. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you come in the door skeptic, you're gonna leave a believer, guarantee.
Speaker 1: And coming from the military, a worker's kind of like
Speaker 1: the same thing. I mean, you're you're helping your community,
Speaker 1: not at the level of politics, but at the level
Speaker 1: of civics to make some democracy. I'm convinced. I wasn't
Speaker 1: actually convinced, but I'm a sucker for a power vest,
Speaker 1: so I decided to finish my training. This is pretty
Speaker 1: high tech. This is some hacker stuff right here. We
Speaker 1: don't say that around here, all right. So this is
Speaker 1: a zero report, and this shows to the public that
Speaker 1: this machine has arrived at the polling place in the
Speaker 1: state that it left this building with zero votes. On
Speaker 1: this much paper is required to show zero votes. I
Speaker 1: know why there's a paper showing I may not have
Speaker 1: been able to fix our broken vote system, just like
Speaker 1: this stuff like that. Okay, bro, good, But I will
Speaker 1: say that if voting goes smoothly in your County. You
Speaker 1: have a poll worker to thank every so much about
Speaker 1: this stage tun because when we come back International Comedy
Speaker 1: Superstar Game really great? Yea, we were joining on the show.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it. Great. Welcome up to
Speaker 1: the Day to show. My guest tonight is the first

Speaker 1: invited you from the moment I got this job. I
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, Fluff, are you gonna come on the show?
Speaker 1: You all maybe the busiest person in comedy that I
Speaker 1: know of, because you're always on the road. You're doing
Speaker 1: massive shows, and now massive is an understatement. Let let's
Speaker 1: start with that. Congratulations first of all, not just selling
Speaker 1: out Dodger Stadium, selling it out twice. That's why does that?
Speaker 1: Everything feel like? Man? As far as I mean it's surreal.
Speaker 1: It's very surreal. It's like, you know, it's the biggest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever done, and I did it at home.
Speaker 1: You know. It was just it was the greatest night
Speaker 1: of my life. And it was documented. That's beautiful. That
Speaker 1: isn't when you're performing, like, I would love to know
Speaker 1: because for those who don't know, So, Gabriel Glaciers is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite people in the world, like, not
Speaker 1: just as a comedian but as a human. When I
Speaker 1: first came to the US, right, he came to one
Speaker 1: of my shows. No one knew who I was. Came
Speaker 1: to one of my shows. Wait until everybody left. I
Speaker 1: was like, ah, this guy's like a creep. Everyone was gone,
Speaker 1: and then he came on to me from the back
Speaker 1: of the room and he's like, hey, Trevor, and I
Speaker 1: was like yeah, and he's like, um, my name is
Speaker 1: Gabriel Glaciers. You don't know who I am, but I'm

Speaker 1: and i'd love for you to come on the road
Speaker 1: with me. I know you're big in South Africa, but
Speaker 1: no one knows you here, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: offend you and you took me out on the road
Speaker 1: with you, and truly that maybe someone like some of
Speaker 1: my my favorite memories I've ever had in life. You
Speaker 1: took me to El Paso, Texas. You took me to Eerie, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: you took me to and so like, what I'd love
Speaker 1: to know is how it feels to perform, because what
Speaker 1: what what I love about your journey is there is
Speaker 1: no club you haven't been, and there's no theater you
Speaker 1: haven't performed in all over the world. And now it's stadiums.
Speaker 1: Like what's different about a stadium that you love? And
Speaker 1: then what is the thing that you miss about a
Speaker 1: tiny little club? What's awesome about a stadium is first
Speaker 1: of all, just saying you're at a stadium, because it
Speaker 1: was like now you're like, oh, look at you like
Speaker 1: a Mexican te you know what I mean? The stadium.
Speaker 1: And then of course clubs it's very intimate, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's instant, you know, it's right there. It's very very nice,
Speaker 1: and so there's of course you know, pros and constabulk,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I don't know where it's gonna go now,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's only it's not just go.
Speaker 1: It's not even going up. You've been consistently successful every
Speaker 1: single year around the world. You know, as I started
Speaker 1: going to other countries, people would tell me they came
Speaker 1: to my shows because they saw us together doing something.
Speaker 1: You've traveled to multiple countries, you know, way before other
Speaker 1: American comedians even have. What do you like? What do
Speaker 1: you think? You know? It is part of your success.

Speaker 1: would we would eat at a different place. Remember I
Speaker 1: hadn't I hadn't eaten that most take out places in America.

Speaker 1: and then every night Fluffy would look at me and
Speaker 1: he and and like those this joke that I was telling,
Speaker 1: Like one of the jokes we had the word no
Speaker 1: I mean in it, So then he'd be like, hey know,
