Daddy Issues, Dad Bods and Fatherhood

You're listening to Comedy Central.

With James Comey set to testify tomorrow. It is clear that President Trump is having a sad exclamation point week, and now, on top of all of that, his third favorite son, Eric is in hot water of his own.

Late Tuesday, the President's son Eric lashing out at those who oppose his father's administration.

So, with the destroyed Trump media floating baseless Russia conspiracy theories every second of every day, and of course Democrats on Capitol Hild desperately searching for any evidence of collusion president Trump's sons, they are now coming to his defense. I guess now the man himself, executive vice president of the Trump Organization.

I've never seen hatred like this. I mean, to me, they're not even people. It's so so sad. I mean, morality's just gone. Morals have flown out the window.

Wow. Wow.

The same guy, the same guy who got so upset when Hillary called his dad's supporters deplorables, is now saying that Democrats aren't even human beings.

Really, And he didn't even warm up to it in the interview.

It was practically the first thing out of his mouth. I can really imagine what it's like on a first date with Eric.

Hey, great to meet you, Ashley.

Do you do anal.

Hi?

I don't know about you, but whenever I see this sort of thing, it makes me wonder, how did this person get this way? And then yesterday a story came out that sort of helped me understand a bit. Forbes magazine published an article exposing where some of the money that Eric Trump raised for charity was actually going.

Now to that blockbuster new report raising serious questions about the Trump organization and charity golf events that were meant to raise money for children with cancer.

Forbes magazine reports hundreds of thousands of dollars in charity expenses went to the Trump family only business, despite Eric saying many of the costs would be covered by the Trumps.

You have money that starts as other people's donations where they think that they're giving the charity, and it appears to end up as revenue at a Trump club.

Wow, taking money that was meant for kids suffering from cancer to line your own pockets, that is I mean, that is just.

So so sad. I mean, morality's just gone. Mora als have flown out the window.

My man.

So so when I first read this story, I thought, Wow, this guy is such a dirt pag. But that's not entirely fair, honestly, because Eric Trump did raise millions of dollars for the same chewed children's hospital. In fact, they even put his name on a hospital wing. Right, I mean, not a picture, just his name.

Right. Those poor kids have been through enough, but still they like him.

And this brings us to how Eric went from using his incredible privilege to help the less fortunates to being the guy skimming from charities, and it turns out he fell in with a bad crowd.

Forbes says problems started with the charity when Donald Trump allegedly demanded the foundation be charged for using the facilities.

Donald came in and said, you know what, We're going to start billing you guys, even though there's a charity event, even though this is for kids for cancer, we want you guys to pay.

Even though this is for kids with cancer, we want you guys to pay. That is heartless and also the theme of Trump's new healthcare plan. Oh and if that wasn't bad enough, Daddy Trump also starting He started charging his son's charity five hundred percent more than a venue would usually charge.

That's what he also did.

Yeah, So I guess at the end of the day, we're starting to understand that this is the curse of being one of Donald Trump's children. You can try and be good, but he'll be like.

No, no, no, don't do that.

You're a Trump And now Eric might as well be one of Trump's buildings. He's not as popular as he once was, and if you look deep, you'll find that he's also empty on the inside.

We'll be right back.

The accusations against our groper in chief. As a governor of New York. This guy was made a hero when he seems like he's maybe the biggest predator in American politics today.

In recent weeks, Donald Trump Junior, the oldest least ERICI, son of Donald Trump, has been complaining that a politician has not been punished for his alleged sex crimes. It raises an uncomfortable question, does Don Junior know who his father is? Seriously, that's this week on Unsolved Mysteries MAGA edition. You might imagine that Donald Trump Junior definitely knows who his dad is. The man says the words my father more than the.

Pope, my father, my father my father, my father, and yet.

In recent years, a mysterious thing happened. Don Junior started talking like a man who had no damn idea that Donald Trump was his daddy. Listen to this.

I wish my name was Hunter Biden. I could go abroad make millions off of my father's presidency. I'd be a really rich guy. It would be incredible.

He knows who his dad is, right, because this is like the Kool eight Man complaining about other people crashing through walls and leaving Kool eight Man size holes.

Whether it's Hunter, whether it's Joe Biden's brother, whether it's his sister, They've all spent their entire lives profiting of Joe Biden's taxpayer funded offices. Here Son, here's every job you've ever had.

Does Don Junior think that he got that job at the Trump organization because he wrote a good cover letter? Does Donald Trump Junior not know what the word junior means? Just like he thought Saturday Night Live was abbreviated S and L. What explains this mystifying lack of self awareness? Is it possible that the unthinkable is truth that Don

Joe Biden as a presidential contender is likely the most corrupted and potentially corrupted person to ever run for office of the presidency. Joe Biden doesn't know where he is fifty percent of the time. But a guy can't conform a complete sentence.

It's almost like the whole Biden family is entirely dependent on Joe holding public office.

Not only was he amis. If you have any information as to why Donald Trump Junior doesn't seem to realize that his father is Donald Trump, please contact Unsolved Mysteries before he starts complaining that Joe Biden is a racist text chief who couldn't even run a casino.

No one's coming.

Get off this, doctor Morley, it's my old foots.

You know a lot of times on this Probram we're always talking about the problems in our society, but our society has much to celebrate.

Everybody's talking about dad box guys.

Who look like they go to the gym, but they also maybe enjoying the little Pete's a little beer.

Elizabeth and I find him really attractive.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Siegel, and Seth Rogan have all been called dad boss.

Undefined abs and maybe even a little bit of flabb are actually in.

Women admitting that normal looking guys are the sexy ones.

It's like Christmas came early this year for dudes because everywhere. Look there's Jollie Faton for more in the new Look That's driving women crazy. We're joined by senior women's issues correspondent Kristin Shawl.

Kristin, Hello, Well, thanks John, and what a great day for men. It's time society Finally he's tepted that a man's body changes when.

He has kids.

He's spent nine months eating too much because his pregnant wife is stressing him out, and then there's a screamy baby at home. He's got to get out for pizza and beer as much as he can. It's just biology, John, you know, but a lot.

Of those guys we just heard about, they're not even dad.

You don't have to be a dad dad, a dad Bob. You just have to be really lazy, and women are lining up at the Dad Bob buffet, which is great news because now you don't have to worry about magazines like this shoving an impossible body image on your throat, like this chiseled triangle thing, you know, I'm talking about it, like the borderline between where the chest ends, you know, and then the fun begins.

You know what.

Let's just forget about these names, because it is God's John.

Try rick this guy up.

Okay, there we go, absolutely, here we go. Yes, okay, yeah, yeah, get rid of it.

Good chuck, John, put all your well, you know who really loves this dad botching guys like you who get most of their exercise by turning from camera one to camera three.

As a year old dad.

I find this notion profoundly reassuring.

It show's dad body.

I wish I could. I'm going to get a beer pizza after the show, and I think women.

Think you sort of nuts if you've got this sixty facts in.

Like a dad Bod sandwich.

Right, they're all having a really good belly laugh. Well, the guys are if that woman added belly at all, they would not let her on that show.

Well, I don't know, of course.

I mean maybe there's a good thing.

Maybe maybe dad bod dad body is just the beginning, and it opens the door to celebrating the mom bods.

Oh, sweet, sweet John, we're already obsessed with mombods, or at least how fast moms can get rid of them.

There's a new breed of mom on the playground, dubbed mom shells.

They're a hybrid of mommy's and bombshells. That's eleven months after giving birth to books amazing.

She had a baby seven months ago.

She has a five month old three months after having a baby, looking impulsively spelt perfect.

Amazing, incredible, just weeks after giving birth.

Figure too, she's used a baby.

They're not real people, they're celebrities. Beyonce, Scarlett, Johansson, j Lo, Michelle Dugar.

Michelle Tuger from the reality show of the nineteen Kids.

Yeah, that's how hot she is. Her husband is never not seeing her. Why do you think she has to hide her body under that sister wife dress to stop tempting the rest of us?

Why is there so much pressure though, on women to be skinny? You know, it hasn't always been that way. Look at the Rubenesque women in those older paintings by.

Right Picasso talk about impossible body standards. I spend years trying to get my nose on the side of my face and lit it. John. Women will never be able to relax about their bodies the way the men can.

Well, it's too bad, because it feels great to be able to, you know, to not think about it the old feel good in the old dad.

Bottom line, well.

You earned it, daddy, O. All that not working out, focusing on other things besides your body. You want to just stand up and give the audience a little treat. Show them what I'm the adequate physic looks.

Like I wanted to be objectify that.

You you can take care of for fifty years.

I don't have to ask the first.

Goal with that shake, because they obviously did show off how your looks are not what society values most in you.

Wait, hold on, I'm sorrying to feel it. Oh yeah, I'm sorry to feel it.

Yeah, keep keeping, I'm sorry to feel it now acohol.

Oh yeah, here comes a turk. I'm a tark.

Fun to watch good people get good things in life, you know, like you dude, you you were there at the very beginning of the Daily Show, My Daily Show. You know we went through the trenches together together, like where people like it's terrible, it'll never lost.

These people are horrible. They're not funny. We felt at all. Yes, we rode through together.

And and and to your credit, you didn't fire me and I and I really needed health insurance. At the time, it was like, yo, this dude from South Africa's here.

Heads are about to roll.

I just got married, Like I was like, bro, don't do this to me like, do this to me.

Yeah, and look at you now, look like, forgive me if I miss a thing. I mean Patriot Acts, Yes, multiple award winning show, Congratulations six seasons on Netflix. Then you leave that to go and do completely different things. I mean, then we see you in everything from like ads to shows that are like huge The Morning Show season two, Congratulation actually do with like reached with a spoon. I was like, is this am I was like, well,

Your new tour. Now you're doing the same.

Thing, same sort of thing where I've always liked it. The lighting design, stage design, graphics. I just feel like my brain already works that way visually, and so I always loved shows.

That were like that.

And whenever you go to the UK or you actually watch theater, you see all those elements. Oh that's you see what I'm saying. When you go to when you see a show on Broadway, you see a show in the UK, you'll see act breaks, you'll see changes of color.

You think of it as like the entire Productionally, I've always loved the visual experience of going to see music that way, going to see theater that way, and I always thought, why can't comedy be that.

Here's a question I have. Yeah, it was the show.

Yes, so you've got all of these visual elements.

Yes.

I don't want to give away like any big parts of the show, but I know you have a joke about infertility.

Yeah, your infertility in particular, yes, which I was like, wow, okay, so I'm brave. So are they visual aids that go with that?

No?

I didn't just like show a diagrabe, So speaking of my vas deference, I didn't do it.

Okay, okay, but it's but to.

Me, the what I love about comedy, in my favorite comedy is confessional. I'm going to tell you something I'm.

Too afraid to tell other people.

So actually, at the beginning of the show goes back to some of the conversations we had early on. I remember Beina and I were trying to get pregnant while I was still at the Daily Show, yep, and we could not get pregnant, and it was my fault. And I wasn't telling anybody about this, and I remember you would sometimes come up to me and be like, hey man, you like you look a little glom like are you okay?

You'd be okay.

You guys are like Indian Barbie and Ken, and I'm like, I know and kind of like can I I'm infertile.

My genitals don't work.

And that's like a it's a it's a thing you carry. It's not usually talked about for most men. And yes, I start to show that way, fertility, fatherhood, freedom of speech, all the things that I've been going through the.

Past four or five years that jump. I don't even explain it.

I just love that fertility, fatherhood, freedom of speech. I like how Yeah, it's like, of course, I mean, of course these things, these things go together.

You're you're a father of too though. Now congratulation four and too. Yeah, you enjoying it?

Yes, yes, it's you know, this is going to be public record, and I just want my children to know I it's been a thrill of a lifetime and it's it's a true honor of privilege being their father.

Are your kids starting to like show you a bit of your funny back to you?

Yeah, they're really funny.

Yeah, my daughter is like, really really really funny. She knows how to needle my wife and I yeah, Like the other day she was getting into it with Bena, and she knows.

She knows.

Like look when when comedians will make fun of each other, will go, I don't like that jacket, I don't.

Like your hair.

But her, she was arguing with Beina, and she knew, I'm not even gonna mess with nouns. I'm gonna go write at adjectives. I'm gonna go at your soul.

She's like, Mommy, don't tell me what to do. You're fake. Wow.

And Beina was just like wow. I was like, you should just make fun of the way she walks.

Yeah, don't don't talk about the content of a character.

That's actually crueler than being like I don't.

Like your hair. But she nailed it. Yeah, she was like, you're fake. She knew.

And I was like, hey, don't don't do that, don't be mean to mommy. And she's like, you're projecting. I'm like, well, what is happening?

What is going on right now?

Okay, let me tell you something that's I also want I want the twitter ati to know. I want everyone to know this.

It was so cool of you.

You also are one of the first people that kind of gave me my first test drive through fame. Remember you were my galadate.

Awkward and weird. You know, you said it in a very kind way.

I read the subtext and you go, hey, listen, man, And this was a really profound quote.

You go, listen.

If you see anybody that you respect or admire, you should take a selfie with them tonight. You should treat fame like a rental car. Take a spin around the block. That way, when they take the car back, you won't feel like they're taking a piece of you.

And I don't know if you remember this.

At the end of the night, we saw Nicki Minaj. Yep, she was walking down the stairs leaving the metgala, and I was too nervous to say anything, and you go, hey, Nikki, NICKI turned around, and you know, she was like.
