A huge portion of the day is spent sitting in meetings, and the other half is usually spent trying to look back through messy notes to remember what actually got decided. It's incredibly common to leave a complex conversation thinking everything is clear, but later on, the heavy mental load kicks in.

You're listening to comomedy Central. Talking about the UFC fight, I'd love to get into your experience, like what was it like being there It looks like a BMX rally fucked a carnival Hello and welcome to the precap, a daily show podcast where we sit down with this week's host to recap some of the latest news and preview what's coming up next. I'm Lily Blumpkin, a writer at the show, and I'm joined today by your host this week, Jordan Klepper. Yeah. Welcome. Thank you, Lily. It's really, I should say welcome to myself ' this is the first time I've been on the podcast. How's it feel, you're precasting Yeah, my precaast. There's a delicate balance with every precast. So if you've heard an edit that just occurred It was because I called this a pre cast as opposed to a preca. Right, right, right. And that's a branding issue on me. Yeah. We have thorough branding meetings here at the Daily Show. So we're under we're aware of what sort of buckets we are in. this is a Daily showhow production. This is a finger' the pulse. This is a precap. This is not a precast. And I've missed some of them recently because I've been busy volunteering outside of work to help the poor and help sickly children. And so if I wasn't there at any of the brand meetings, then I apologize. my My efforts have been elsewhere. Yeah. I got be apologizing to you for anybody correcting you. Yeah. I'm just saying, I don't I don't want tona be a martyr here, but I'll take the note, Alan, I'll cut my volunteering back and I'll focus on the brand meetings. Welcome to the precaP. Yeah. Thankks, Alan. Wow. All those sick kids are not gonna to receive medicine But apparently it's important to get the branding right. Yeah. So kids, suck it up. it up Put your headphones in andap into your elbow and shut up. Move on with your life. There's content to be made. Exactly Well, speaking of content, should we get right into the big story of the weekend? I think there's only one story we can talk about. And that's the New York freaking Kicks, baby. If Now if you're at home right now and you're like these New York shows and they're obsession with the New York Kicks. I get it. Right, But indulge us just a little bit more. Right. Think of it as a metaphor about the ways in which communities can come together. Yes. It's a beaiful It's a beautiful time to be in the city. I personally, I'm from New Jersey originally. My dad is a Ns fan, I really care very much about sports, if I'm being honest. I am gay, so that might be a surprise to some fellow lesbians out there. but no I don't I don't really follow sports. but I have been totally captivated by the finals because like you're saying, the city just comes together. It's fun.. you. I'm pro bandwagon. Absolutely. You know, I've had to we've talked about this on the precap before, but I'm a Michigan kid, so I have some affiliations towards some Michigan schools, but I'm also a proud New Yorker and been here for fifteen years. I've been a fan of the Ks. I've been to a bunch of Nets games as well, but there is just something about the It's something about a city coming together and excited about something. L I've always been a fan of like putting on that hat, walking to the Bodega, and the conversations you have with strangers when your home team is winning, it pulls you together. toally. So yeah, whether you could feel that in town. I see that around my friends and my family right now, like we're It'ss forcing us to have dinner parties. I make wings this weekend. Wow. I don't make wings. I'm not a wings guy. Wings are kind of gross when you make them. When you get like ra raw wings and then have to cook them, you understand the gristle that you're putting in your body. Oh yeah. How did they come out? They came out okay. All right. All right. Frankly, I'd rather spend the money to jump past the step where you have to deal with the uncooked gristle, that's worth the money. But it forced me to make something for my friends and for us to all cheer and watch the next. and that was it was remarkable. That's awesome. Where did you watch the game? I watched the game. I watched most of the games at whichich I'm a sports fan at home. I also have a kid at home. who? I let stay up to watch. the games or at least part of the first quarter You follow Mum Dny's. F follow Mum Donn. feeling of bedtime. Yes Let me tell you that That little socialist. You know, this is The socialism is already encroaching into our nighttime routine.. But it worked for this. There we go. No bedtimes for all. No bedimes for all There's remark in Brooklyn, we're not on the busiest of streets, but as soon as the N one this weekend, just the street exploded Yeah. Just literally fireworks outside our windows, peopleople screaming and hugging. My wife and I We opened up the windows and just watched the city come together. Now we were not a part of it. We watched from on high. Right, right, right. That's kind of how I look. You wouldn't want to get down and be with all those g That's for you guys. okay. All right, I'm on TV. Id like to hover above everybody else, but it was really fun to watch the mASas come together. Of course. Where did you watch? I watched so I watched in Park Slope for the first couple games, which similarly very quiet neighborhood. but I have never seen so many people outside I was like, I didn't realize this many adults lived in this neighborhood. I thought it was mostly toddlers. The babysitters must have been making this abolutely to. M and dad are going out. Right, right, right. And you are watching our stupid gids actually. You're not watching the game. But this brings me to a next topic of conversation, which was superstition surrounding the game because like I mentioned, I'm a recent fan, lifelong fan of as of the last two weeks. and a strong two weeks. Yeah you're never going to join the team. These two weeks are the weeks to do it. Totally. And I Yeah, the first two games of the finals, I just watched the second half and they won and I was like, all right, I'm going to watch game three the whole game and then they lost. So I was like, I can't do that again. Game four, I just watched the last half, they won again. and then game five, I was like, I'll do my part. you know, for this city and for this team, I'll only watch the second half and they won So I don't want to take too much credit, but I did than my part. Yeah. No. Thank you for your work there. So a week and a half into your fandom, you already knew you had to serve a greater superstitious need. Absolutely. I could feel that there were people counting on me to do my part because I was hearing everybody else talk about their suspicions or superstitions commit to that and I didn't want to let people down. So I to I did my thing, you know. You did it. You did it. Did you have any superstitions For this one, I did not. Okay I did not. I was open to whatever happened was was mostly using it as a way to talk to friends and family. It's funny coming into work here and seeing everybody like it's just a fun communal experience to see. like coming out on Monday and see everybody wearing their nicks apparel But I caution people We're in a danger spot here as victors and a team that just won a championship You have to be careful about the apparel that you buy. Championship apparel Danger, dangerous area. I've been lucky. I've lived through a couple championships with the Michigan Wolverines and you get caught up in the fervor buy the apparel that they sell you that comes out and the window for wearing that apparel. is about twenty four hours and then you have to put it away and it's not fashionable again for another ten years. You have to wait ten years. Yeah. If you want to play the long game, great. otherwise, here's the deal. I bought a hat that was advertised to me after Michigan won the national Championship and then that hat doesn't arrive for three weeks. The fonts are off, the fitting is weird on the hat And by the time it arrived, I had already spent a significant amount of money on championship merch. And my style had already evolved to a point where it needed to become nostalgic. So I caution anybody out there Yeah with their purchasing power. Support the team, be careful. The fervor, the fervor is gonna cost you. Wow Yeah. so this is kind of like an heirloom you could pass down. You have to think of it. Yeah. ye. ye. You have to think of it like a bottle of wine. Right, right, right, It's better with age. Yeah It gets better with age So hold on to that thing. Unless you open it right then and there, you know make this the moment, otherwise, put it away and your grandids. Give it to your grandkids. They're gonna to love that sweat t shirt. Totally. So thinking about superstitions and things that rabid fans do, We have a real lifelong fan in the writing staff, Scott Herkman, he was on the show with you a couple weeks ago, and he had this to say about a superstition of his own Let's roll it. I have this thing. I'm a very superstitious fan. Since the Strait of Hormuz has been blocked the Kicks have been And I need everything to stay exactly the same. Herkman loves war until the Kicks win the championship. So you're rooting for an elongated conflicnce. I'm rooting for the Kicks to win the championship. That That is what I'm rooting for.. That is that is the goal right now. I don't know if I would get super superstitious about extended global comp. Everything needs to stay the same, Jordan we are finally winning for the first time Maybe cut that part where know I'll root for high gas prices as well. I think it's all worth it. You know, if we all go through a little bit of financial duress for the short term, in the long term, it means that the Knicks get to be champions. I think we could all agree that it's a worthwhile endeavor There we go. Do you agree? Do you still agree with that? You know what? it's there was some apparently some truth in it. I As long as that straight stayed closed, the Kicks kept winning. Yeah. And today we have an update War has allegedly Trump and Iran havegedly allegedly reached a peace agreement And we have our own Scott Herkman to declare I'm going let you take it. Say your declarations, G. The strait of Hormz can now be opened. Go New York, go New York G New York, go, New York, goc What happened I called him. calledall it. You called I called it. Again, apologies to everybody who's had to pay an astronomical amount of money for gas. Right And for any lives that have been lost in the conflict.. But I was with it, I guess. Yeah How much fun was the city The city's been a lot of fun When the news broke that Trump signed a deal and it would into effect on Sunday. I was about to text you but I didn't want to blow my superstition. And I was like, oh my God, it's gonna happen. They're gonna win the championship and then the straight is gonna be opened. And I'm gonna to have to answer for this clip because I was right. You were right. You saw it the whole time. Also I want to call out your voice, your going horse Yeah because of your next fame. Do you have Mono or No it's happen. This is something totally unrelated. tootally U Yeahah, my voice has been hoarse for a few days now It was getting better Saturday night it got a lot worse.. Oh man. Yeah. Oh man. Well first of all, congratulations. And also and a big thank you from all the corporations that are profiting off of N merchandise. Yeah. what you said about merch is wrong, I'm going to be wearing merch for the rest of my life. Well yeah, you are. You definitely are. I don't think that's the correct decision. I think you will be a walking embodiment of my truth That gu I shouldn't be wearing That was merchday Yeah. I was already wearing too much merch and I turned to my wife after they won and I was like, I may never not wear an extreme again for the rest of my life. Well, speaking of too much merch, this is reminding me. I brought I brought a prop for myself. So I, as I mentioned, I'm not a huge basketball fan. I was never really a knix person until again two weeks ago. So I didn't have anything to wear when I was watching the games. But my fiancee was doing laundry at our nearby laundromat and our elderly neighbors they were chatting and Al, my fiance was like Yeah I'm going to watch a game. don't have anything to wear and then my neighbor K this shirt out of his clean laundry basket and gave it to Al to wear. And I ended up actually stealing it and I wore it. It says New York forever. it's from last year's playoffs Unfortunately, when I was wearing it, they did lose. so I didn't wear it to the final game. but now I have a shirt that so it it's thanks to you and the Strait of Hormz the Nicks won the Championship. That is That is a New York ass story about that Like that that literally plucked it up from a laundromat do laundry, takeake my Nicks T shirt like a Pizzer rat walked by Yes. I Donny I promised free grocery stores on the other block. L it was Eric Adams was partying. He was parting in the background, right? Oh God, this's a true New York moment. I know. it really it really just feels like the city is coming alive, everyverybody's coming together I don't know, Scott, how do you feel as a lifelong New Yorker? does this feel especially or a lifelong fan? does this feel especially big to you? Yeah, I cried a lot. I celebrated a lot. It was awesome. Also like Get on the bandwagon. If you're New York I'll get you want to rooot for the nexts. Root for the next I will say sometimes I'm out and people try to talk to me about basketall and they're like So I watched my first game yesterday. donon't you think Jayalen Brunson should pass more? I'm like Don't talk to me. Right, right. I will have five of you. Don't give me your takes Oh my God. Heavy becomes the crown though. as somebody who wears a baseball cap, like a Detroit Tigers baseball cap out and about. I like the Tigers grew up as a Tiger fan, but I would say I'm not like in on the day to day of what's happening with the Detroit Detroit Tigers organization And you go to an airport and then another Tigers fan sees you and they want to talk to you about the nitty gritty of what happened the night before. And so I think within the bubble that're in, Nick's apparel is going to be is going to be a connection to neighbors. But the farther outside of that bubble you get, You' got to get the minute. You're going have to be up on the minute. otherwise you're going to be living in just a cloud of lies. Right, right, right Yeah I feel like as a bandwagon fan, I have to know my limits where it's like, yeah, like Scott was saying, I can high five, I can steal a t shirt from my neighbor. I can buy an orange and blue cookie, but I can't really speak on any of the players stats or what I think about what they're doing and I know my place. I just want to say I'm being a good bandwagon fan. This is the time to be in that. you are doing it. I think we're all executing at a high level.. Yeah, exactly, exactly Um, Well, Scott Unless you have anything else to say We're going to kick you out. Go Nick. I thought so. yeah. this is yeah. we love. I was expecting that. I had Yeah. Scott, congratulations. Thank. And more importantly, thank you for opening the Strait of Hormz. Yes, yes Jayen Brunson opened the Strait of Horm. we Nickixon five He knew we couldn't go to six. We need the straight open. We're going to do it in five Thank you for having me. Go Ns, you guys are great. Go next, go. Thank you, Scott.

We're allking about the New York Vibe. I was in Washington DC this weekend, yesterday, this morning, actually. But yesterday was the UFC event and I was talking to people outside the UFC event And people were talking about the vibes in Washington DC around the UFC event and more often than not, people were talking about the vibes being good and communal. And they mentioned the vibes in New York And their image of New York after the Nx One was one of Cnage. There was people celebrating a bus was set on fire in Times Square. Not a great look to set a school bus on fire. Right But it was curious because I would say my algorithm and the people around me, I'm seeing nothing but New Yorkers having a wonderful time celebrating, hugging The vibes in my community have been very positive and sort of held up on a pedestal in the way that we're talking about right now. It's been, I think a really good communal experience. Not that there are examples of people going outside the pale of what responsible celebration looks like. R And there have been some horrible videos that are online that I've seen as well about people going to extremes.. And yet My bubble is one of celebration and I go out to DC and that is New York is used as an example of a city on fire, not a city that is coming together. Yeah, yeah, that's so interesting. I mean, I definitely think that the right wing media has seen these images of the bus on fire of people yeah, getting turn the crowds turning violent and are definitely blowing that out of proportion as they are want to do. because like you said, The vast majority of the crowds have been very peaceful and celebratory, and it's just a joyous time Tking about the UFC fight, I'd love to get into your experience, like what was it like being there? Well finally I've been praying for a UFC fight on the White House lawn for years. We all have. We've all been wanting this. This is a lifelong thing for all of us. It's where this country was heading. so finally we got there It was we arrived and To see that giant claw outside the White House does look like a scene from It looks it's a mix for a scene from a sci fi movie and also a dystopian comedy. It's idiocracy in one image R Our producer Inbererger jokingly referred to it. it looks like It looks like a BMX rally fucked a carnival I think that's a pretty fair description of what The vibes. Okay. Yeah mixed with nothing but corporate sponsorship as well. So you know, walking around there, it's Washington DC. it's it's like a militarized zone to get into where last night's event was And just chaos and screens in a giant claw and a big octagon and nothing but advertisers from polymarket to crypto. comot to Bud lightight. plastard everywhere And the energy was interestnteresting things say least. I was surprised initially about how many Pure fight fans, there were. Yeah. My expectation would be more Maga than it was.. Again, all the times I go to these events and these rallies, I'm getting just a sliver of the population. But we were talking to a lot of people and seeing a lot of people and people were there to watch the UFC in DC. There was a free fight. a lot of people were coming from Virginia who we talked to And they were excited about the UFC. When I asked them about Donald Trump or the policies outside of that. A lot of people demured and said they were not political Not all of them. There was a chunk of manga people as well we talked to or people who were UFC people who had opinions on what was going on, but there was such an excitement around the UFC being brought to America AK the White House law. Right, right. Be it was never in America before this. No, it was not. That Yeahah, that's very interesting. Immediately like there was so much talk about this being a communal thing which It's a curious thing to grapple with. What an interesting weekend in terms of sports in America. Yeah. And we are experiencing this in New York, a very communal vibe I am somebody who does Want for commommunal experiences for the better trappings of tribalism ways in which to cheer in the same direction. You know patriotism at its best is like a unifying figure of what to cheer for. And so I've felt that with the Kicks. And there was that feeling at UFC as well peopleeople were talking about how divided the country felt and then there was so much infighting that they were gracious that a fight was happening here so people could come together, which in and of itself had this beautiful hypocrisy of we need fighting to stop. fight And yet like the beautiful hypocrisy is so America right now. Yeah. Wing people understand the conflict and think we need to conflict our way out of the conflict and yet also watch BMX bikes on the White House lawn and people beat each other in faces while bud lightight is being sold to a bunch of people outside of the Oval Office is sort of the beautiful strange dystopian America metaphor of the moment. Yeah, this is what this country is right now. Wow. So I guess you're kind of saying we need more fight to make this country This is hard It's always hard to pull a lesson from these events. Yeah. If I'm talking to the people there, they think we do need more Right I you think this actually begs a larger question, which is I think it shows. in experiencing these two events concurrently. It shows the Potential benefits of patriotism. And I've gotten older and more jaded with what propaganda can do and the ways in which patriotism could be wielded to turn a blind eye to the excesses of government or the cruelty that is hidden behind closed doors or even out in the open at its purest and most effective, patriotism is a way in which to garner a community together to be effective together to help each other. In some ways patriotism can get you to a space where you will Put aside your own Put aside your own self for the betterment of somebody you do not know.. Like there is a binding element to true patriotism where like you may not know a neighbor. You may not know a person across the country, but you will pay extra taxes because you want them to also succeed as well. giveive them your clean laundry G give them your clean laund, Which is such a beautiful image moment and a necessity for a society to work and grow. and we find glimpses of it in sport. But in a working democracy, I think a government is able to wield and utilize patriotism creating By creating a vision of a country that you want to be a part of, that you feel accepted and a part of, and that you understand that you're welcoming into that community can better a larger community There's glimpses of it dumb ass event like the UFC. you see where people do want that. They want to be in a group and they want to cheer and they want to feel powerful because of the group that they are in. Unfortunately, it's wielded by another group that wants to gain that power power through exclusion. Right. You know, And I think and pure unulterated capitalism. Yeah. I think that's what gets so gross and icky about watching a spectacle like this because you can see you can see elements of a celebration of a country at two hundred and fifty years with all of its warts and all. like there is there is a desire for a moment to bring this country together. And people are articulating that on the streets. they want They want to come together, they want to cheer for something And when you have a faulty government that doesn't know how to paint a picture of what to cheer for, you get sweaty people who beat each other's faces in and budlight can put their name on it and you put that up there and you're like, well, this is as good as we can do because we have no vision or no moral authority. Right, right, right. I don't want to paint too braad of a ict I don't know if that's right phrase but I guess I don't want to be too generalizing, but it does feel like on the one end we have this Nick celebration where it feels like pure joy, it feels like the city's coming together. And then on the other hand you have Yeah, this UFC fight, which feels like people are coming together and Right. It's just, it's just feels like too polls. You know what I mean where it's like we there is this craving for community for coming together and celebrating something. And on the one hand we're seeing this joy and on the other hand, we're seeing violence. And I guess I'm not trying to say that like New York is doing it right because we have a socialist mayor. But I am like there's just there's just like a difference in vibe in politics in both of these groups coming together. You know what I mean? Yeah, And I will say this I have no problem with the UFC fight. Right. And I understand like I've been to boxing matches, I've enjoyed boxing matches. I understand the appeal to UFC and talking to real UFC fighters. like I haven't talked to fighters, but UFC fans There's a community there and I get that. My walkway is less about the violence there, even though I think there's a perhaps Better articulation of where America's at, a more inclusive one, perhaps. It's it's how fucking tacky this shit is It is tasteless. Yeah. There is a way to do that. There is You walk there and the fighting out of it. Like what this is, it's capitalism at its worst. Donald Trump invested in this company and made money off this thing. There's talks about fights being thrown that are happening right now in the news. Beyond that Donald Trump is paying people in his own crypto coin. Crypto is everywhere. If you watch the event, you're also seeing advertising breaking up every single moment of this thing Budlight. Budlight is an organization also that like The whole Mga movement. were so mad that one trans person had a bud lightight that they shot at a bunch of cans. And now budlights like, Well, what if we support this now and everybody's chuggking bud lightight During pride no less. During Pide no less. So there is there's an element there where I watch it and There's space. and I'm not against the UFC even taking up some of that space. There's competition. But when you walk in there, what you're not seeing is a celebration of what is good about America, you're seeing like B weaponizing ways in which to profit off this. And there's always going to be that in sport. I understand it. But but at America's two hundred fifty, there's not even a There's there's there's no inclination or desire to wipe that away. If If you can get an extra million dollars from mononster Energy drink to throw it on top of an ad for Thomas Jefferson, then you will you will. So it it's less it's less that New York is doing it and there's capitalism that's happening all over this next thing as well. You That's part of what America is anyway But I just think it's just corny. Yeah and tacky. And I wish we were slightly better at that. Totally. Here's a question If you could pick some event, it doesn't need to be sports, what would you have selected as the? The unifying event for America two hundred fifty. Is it a circus? Is it I don't know. just I guess animals walking around, I guess I'm only picturing something involving animals because they seem like the least political I think thing. Create a circus. create like amusement park rides that everybody can go in. You can take pictures and selfies on either side. It's not political. Yeah. And at the end, everybody gathers around and listens to Dolly Parton sing think that's America. That's America. We want some danger Let people bet on some of these rides, you know?, you know, even make it old school, like let let no seat belelts. let's some kids get hurt. Okay That's what happen. Let some of the teenagers run it be a little bit drunk. I love Cody Island for exactly that reason because it is not a fancy thing. It is it is rough around the edges, but it is communal. So that that's what I would I would root for. I don't we have very little unifying culture anymore Dolly Parton may be it. Right. So I would root for her there. because trust me This is where I also If Kamo were in there right now, the two hundred fifty anniversary would probably be you know, they get Yooyoma to come in here, which God bless, but are we really that excited about Yooyoma? Right No no disrespect to Yoyoma. I've seen Yoyoma an incredible musician. But yeah, Trump understands, we need some flare. Let's go big.. I think we should go big. Yeah. I just have some questions with some taste. For sure Well, maybe in the next one hundred and fifty years, we'll see a beautiful amusement park with some elephants roaming around and And you'll be, hopefully. I'll probably be there. Dolly will be singing Jolene and we'll all be crying a little bit. It'll be perfect When exploring live streams on whatnot from a buyer's perspective It becomes instantly clear why this platform is climbing straight to the top of the app store. Lgging into a live stream to source some name brand apparel, the immediate takeaway is the community experience Instead of scrolling through flat, sterile product listings, buyers connect directly with passionate sellers to discover unbeatable deals in real time.

Speaking about the cups, I mean, it's Yeah, I haven't been watching either of the cups have you? No, this is We were talking before this and I made a comment. I was like, well, I'm not I'm not a fan of But I hear people like it. and And Matt, who takes lovely photos at her show, pulled me aside and was like, please don't say that Id That's bad don't say that. I was like, you know what? Yeah, it's like there's a lot of people who like the World Cup. but I believe that. It's not my thing. But it is it is remarkable We see it all over New York and every airport it's happening in all the big cities, Apparently across North America, apparently a lot of people like the World Cup. Yeah I guess so. There's just too much sports. It's too much sports. and I gotta say. as a gay woman, okay? And you're gonna agree with me here, J. It's Pride Month. You know, I mean, don't disrespect to all the sports, but I feel like pride is not having her moment. was good as an ally. Thank you L As an ally, you're right. Thank you. It feels like men's sports would all in on this month. Come on Come on! We're taking up all the air. Right. I mean, there is women's basketball, but I mean, where are the rallies in the street for that? Hello. Hello, come on. Come on. Anyway, nobody really Nobbody in this room cares about Stanley Cup or the World Cup There are a lot of people who do, and what I've been enjoying is seeing some of these videos of people from across the world enjoying or experiencing America for the first time U I believe yeah, we have atch this British reporter eating pizza. This is you know what, I'll let the clip explain it for himself. I'm an English Rw reporter. I'm here in the USA for the first time I've come to Joe's pizza to try a legendary slice. That's a good spot to pick for your first New York slice. It's a class You can't have that. You've gott to eat with your fingers. How do I eat that? That's so big compared tolices. Its pretty intuitive for how you eat it. Lerallyight Oh good You live in England No this is. Oh the Thai watch, the Thaie Oh Have you ever been to England or eaten pizza in England? Oh, I have. I did foreign study in England for six months. I lived there for six months. Wow. And actually I only ate American food when I lived there because I was in college I was eating McDonalds most days I would grab slices. It's true. I didn't have great pizza in England. Yeah. It's odd how No' disrespect, but pizza feels like it's achievable in a lot of places. For sure. Especiallyland. Yeah. you can make that happen. R. Theyant. They don't know what to put on it. they never get the breadri. It's not their sweet spot. So I can understand why this man is somewhat befuddled. Yeah. But even holding it. Sly, American culture has reached the shores of England to the point that you watched people eat pizza. I'm also like if you went to Joe's, there must have been people outside eating pizza. You could just copy they're doing ive know I will say this th from the Midwest. I've had family members come to New York and it's they're not they they're not as befuddled as the Englishmen there The folded of the slice is somewhat unique to the New York experience.. But once somebody tells you to fold it, you fold it and then you just fold it slide it in. Yeah This guy's a fucking idiot. go back to England. you fucking idiot. Go home But also welcome to America. and this is how we're gonna to treat you here. This is a really fun one. This lovely. This is so speaking of some Uh foreign fans coming to America and experiencing American culture. This tweet was going viral. This is from a Japanese fan who came to the U. S Pumably for the first time and is eating at a Mexican restaurant. And it's a long tweet. so we won't read all of it, but there's just some key parts, Jordan, do you wantna call out some of your favorite lines? So yeah, this person received chips and salsa, was confused by the fact that they had not ordered that. told Salsa unrequested free When they asked, they said U they just come with the table man and this person got a refill and then said, I believe they responded Bottomless They have wells of salsa. The suppupply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors Imagine, my friend warn me. Don't fill up on chips, dude too late. I had accepted baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished. An unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man I was not hungry I was not comfortable I've been defeated by a courtesy, generenosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived Beautiful Really beautiful. This is poetry. This I mean, I just love the idea of someone receiving free chips and salsa and then feeling like burden of having to finish it. I think that's really that's really beautiful. Americans are like throwing out food left and right. We don't care I ask for more pop. Why am I not getting more pop? Exactly. I need my refill. This I am heartened by all of these lovely videos of people coming to America and seeing the bounty that we have. Totally I can forget the beautiful things and quirkiness of this great country. I saw videos about people going to a Bcky's, which you never know a Bucky's gas station in Texas, then you are missing out. It really is It's the eighth wonder of the world. It's a remarkable place to be. and yet I'm both It makes me see America in a new lovely light to be grateful for it. but I also have such a But suchuch more affection for the foreigners experience of America. Right. Right. R. Oh, that Japanese man looks lovely. Yeah. I love how they see the world. I wan to spend more time. So it both draws me to the bounty of this great country and yet wants me to hang out with foreigners more and more. Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. It is beautiful stuff that you know, Jordan, I appreciate that there's a lot of stuff going on that I would perceive as you know, negative or disheartening like this UFC fight, and you're finding the joy in it. and you're finding the Americanness in it and the things we can rally behind. I think that's beautiful. It's I don't think we sort even As we talk through all of these things, there's so much dumb shit happening. And yet you realize how much we need that in our lives. We We need stuff to care about, stuff to cheer for, stuff to love. It shows our humanity when we can just be fans and not partisans. Absolutely. think like we need it as human beings. So it's nice that these things are popping up here and there. Totally. Or maybe people are just excited that Donald Trump is leaving for the G seven. Right. They're just like, oh, he's out of the country Let's just enjoy what we have here. Let's just do something fun for us. Speaking of G seven summit, that leads us perfectly into our next segment of talking about what's coming up this week So let's start with the G summit since we G seven summit since we're on that topic. Yes, Trump is going to meet with the leaders of the seven wealthiest nations. Is that it? in Geneva he's meeting them in Evyon France, which is a city I just learned about. I thought I guess that's where the water comes from. I assume that's where the water comes from. Do you have any thoughts on this G seven summit? That man is gonna to be so tired. Yes. After a UFC event that went late, started late and then hopping out a plane and going there And he just turned eighty and just turned Ay Mhm This we're not going to get the sharpest Donald Trump. We're dealing with this Aran P steal But we haven't seen yet e feels like they're already getting out ahead talking about what is in it, but we haven't seen what is in it.. I'm skeptical as I think many people are as to what was actually achieved within this peace deal. Right now it seems as if we're just rolling back a few months to where we were before. The stadees open. We're postponing anyy kind of nuclear conversation right now and releasing some fund. So Iran gets it. I'm getting vibes of the Mueller report coming out The Trump administration got out ahead of the narrative before anybody read it and sort of set the tone as to the ways in which we were supposed to see what was in it. and this feels very similar and reminiscent to me of that. Right. I think we're a little bit savvier now and more skeptical as to what actually is being achieved through this peace deal. out Friday, supposedly if that timeline hold And I think the G seven, we're going to get some information out of that. So as a show, we're going to watch what happens in the G seven and how we are perceived overseas. Yeah. ye I mean, it's theoretically exciting or it's good news that U S. and Iran have reached this peace deal. but I personally am definitely hesitant because it's a lot of time between now and Friday for things to fall apart. Trump has been saying we've won the war for what, one hundred days now. We've got a hundred days of winning the war. And I think we just declared everything is open. R. Itesn't seem like that is the case, but it will be on Friday. Fingers crossed. there is there is peace in the future, but If you are going to the if you're going to polymarket and placing bets, which I've been told by all of the America two hundred fifty events, is the place to go. allegedly. that I don't know if I would place that bet right now. Yeah. Yeah. Although Scott Herkman did say the Strait of Hormz is open. You right So maybe maybe this will be good. It has been it has been decreed by our own. Right. The Ks are the Kicks one, the straight is open. We'll see what happens. All wine and roses from this point on. Something else that's coming up this week is that JD Vance is on a book tour What do you think about this?' promoting his book, Communion, Colen Finding my way to faith. Don't you have other things to do, JD Van? Eically. This is maybe I think you have a job.. I think supposedly. I think the citizens are paying you to be the there's a lot going on in the world right now, but you're on a book tour. Yes. about your faith God bless Jade Vance, but whatever Godd you found still thinks it's necessary for you to do publicity on the view, a place that I'm sure you don't wanna go on. So yeah, I don't know. if you're still shopping for gods, maybe there's another one that could that give you some sort of riches so that you don't have to do publicity as vice president of the United States on the view You're gonna to get grilled by whoope, JD Vance. Come on, JD, you don't want this. I'm even shocked that Trump let him go. Doesn't he hate the view? Like I don't think Trump is returning calls from JD Vance. Right. Yeah. JD Vance is trying to slide into Trump's DM. So he's like, maybe maybe I'll get a hate watch from this guy overseas. This willll show him. It's like yeah it's like you're try to do something on you're posting something on Instagram stories, get your ex's attention. This is his version of doing that. do it. Lets if it works goodood luck to you JD. Good luck, JD And we're live on Match dayay as Doug reaches for a buffalo wing He's got it. Oh and he's gone for a can of beepsy too.

This is where we talk about something we've watched, read or listened to or argued about lately. or something that's just been on your mind. Do you have anything J I'm going I'm going gonna do a shout out. I always love music and what I've been listening to this week is Sturgil Simpson hasas ango alter ego called Johnny Blue S skies. Wow. And I'm a big surgal fan. He was on the show back in the day and put out an album called Mutiny After Midnight, which is A political Uh, it's political Disco funk country album Wow, that's all the words. It's kind of everything. He has a song called Make America Fuck againg. Okayich Happy Pide to. Yeah, happy Pide. It it's literally like sexy meets like Very political meets Disco swagger and When I first released it, it was only on vinyl. so you had to go buy something physical to listen to, which I did, and it was great And then and then he just released some digital additional songs where he covered the Eddie Murphy song party all the time. Wow. in like a disco swing vibe. Stergil Simpson is on a whole notother level of doing his own thing. Wow. And is approaching this idea of feeling like we are living in the end times and that things are pulling apart. and instead of just being mad at it put out a release, which is essentially saying, manan, we all hate each other. So instead of putting a fight on the White House lawn, he's like, I think we need to make America fuck again. Yeah. So I'm going to create an album that is sexy and try to do it. and I'm to cover Eddie Murphy's party song from the late eighties, early nineties, and give it some juice. So I love that. Permanently living outside the box. I love them. Give me some Surgal Simpsons. Amazing. What about you What have you been engaging in? So apart from my newfound love of the New York Knicks, the only thing I've really been watching is Love Island, which I recently found out you don't Consume which is okay. That's okay. But I've been watching Love Island. It's really a commitment because it comes out every day. Every day. Yeah, which it's nuts It's a reality show on an island. Yeahes, so it's Five, I think. T boys, five girls so ten sexy singles. They go to Fiji for the summer h and then they get pull up so they hair off based on who they like in the beginning, and then they sort of do these stupid challenges where they're supposed to test their compatibility and Chaos ensues, couples break up Dama starts and then at any point in time a new bombshell could enter the villa. This is there's no rules about when new people come in. At any point, someone new comes in and breaks up a couple. There's a recoupling where people at home vote And you get to decide who you want the bombshell to be with It's true utter chaos. So it is invited to let the audience at home mess up these relationship. The bombshell is a person, you? Yes, yeahah, It's like a new sexy single You know never heard the phrase a hot new bombshells enter the villa? That's where it's from. That's a fresh one for me. It's good. You can use it at any if you're walking into your home, you can just say, honey, a hot new bombshells enter the villa. That's gonna play great. It's a really good phrase. It's gonna play great the homestead. Yeah ye What is your draw? Is it Tuddrery? Is it a PG thirteen show or is this like It's pretty sexy. Yeah se. I mean, you like they'll show stuff. Okay? So it's not for these kids watching at home. You get to see it. You get to see it. You get to see it? You get to. It's a show where you get to see it. It's a show where you get to see it. I sometimes like to see it. Yeah. Yeah, you wouldnt be both I'm there for the story lies bes Do you want to see it? O doeses you just want to see it? Come on to see it.
