You're listening to Comedy Central. The world is really simple, just five letter words um. And then also it just stops you. But I never realized how enjoying it is to play something that like stops you do you know what I mean? Like we've gotten too used to living in a world where she's just like just more. You can can be crushed the whole day, more lives, more lives cherished. You can eat as much as you want, just go and go, like, go to any takeout place

and just order all the food. They'll never stop you. I realized that when I went back to South Africa. That's something that doesn't help America. In South Africa, you're allowed to judge people when you work in like service industries. In America, that's somehow frowned upon. So like when I was in South Africa, now because I finally got a chance to go back home, I went to McDonald's to order food, right, I was like, I'm gonna have some McDonald's from back home. And then went to McDonald's and

then you're like, you're looking at me funny. But McDonald's is different in every every single country. So like in America, you started it and then in other countries they've kept it with like food food, and then you guys are doing or doing other experiments. But anyway, so I went to get some McDonald's in South Africa and then I got to the county and I was ordering for all my friends, but they didn't come with me because it's a pandemic. So they're like, you just go and then

you order. It's like two of us. So we get there and then I'm ordering and I'm ordering them all. I'm like six mcmeals and six milkshakes and six and the woman behind the countess, she was like, fool, so much food there's that's two of you. And we laughed and we're like, ha ha, that's cool. And I was like, that will never happen in America. You get fired for

that ship in America. No matter how much you order, does just be like anything else you can you can literally just be like give me fifteen big Max anything else, Yeah, give me twenty five fries, anything else. Give me your entire supply of food in the back, all right, anything else, give me the whole of McDonald's all right there, anything else, No,

I mean, like the whole of McDonald's. Give me all of it, the whole the fries in the country, all right, So are you gonna need to wait because that's a special order. And what I'm saying is Wardle has done is it's reminded me of how nice it is to be restricted. It's nice to not be able to just

have as much as you want. Just so what I'm saying, anyway, you should play word The Daily Show with Trevor no Ears edition, Subscribe to The Daily Show on YouTube for exclusive content, and stream full episodes anytime on Paramount Plus. This has been a Comedy Central podcast
