Desi Lydic Covers Disney’s Lawsuit Against DeSantis | Jameela Jamil

You're listening to Comedy Central, Holy.

City, It's the Soul, It's The Daily Show with your home Daisy Light, Welcome to.

The Daily Show.

I'm Dodie Lighting and I am back for night three and hosting Baby. To all the female viewers, I want to say thank you. To all the male viewers, I want to say, ha ha, you're.

Watching a girl, so that makes you gay.

We got a great Jeffrey tonight. Jamila Jamil is here.

We got a lot to talk about, so let's get into the headline. Let's kick things off with Tucker Carlson, the World's most unemployed boat show. No one's heard from Tucker since his surprise firing on Monday, except the pillow he's been screaming into.

And it turns out there may be a good reason for that.

Fox News executives reportedly have a dossier of dirt on him, Yeah, to keep him from attacking the network.

That's right.

They apparently have him saying the most vile things you can imagine, and the way they compiled it, and this is genius is by turning on his television show and pressing record.

Very naked fock.

Let's move on to some breaking news if you've been following Florida politics, you're weird. And also you know that Ron DeSantis has been attacking the Disney corporation for a year now, ever since Disney criticized his anti gay bill and also because they used his image for Quasimoto.

Den Ringer.

Well, now the fight has reached the courts. This morning, Disney sued Ron DeSantis, accusing him of political retaliation, which good news, good news, which sounds bad. But if they really wanted to form up, they'd slip his kid the Encanto soundtrack. As a parent, trust me, that can ruin your life. We don't talk about Bruno. How about we don't talk about giving you.

Up for adoption. If you don't turn.

That off, Let's move on to some entertainment news, because it was just revealed that Hugh Grant will star as an Umpa Lupa in the upcoming Willie Wonka movie Kind of fun. It kind of makes sense to have Oomploopa be a British dude. Have you ever gone to the beach with a Britisher? This is exactly what their skin.

Looks like after now.

And I just want to say, as a woman, it's nice to see a man age out of sexy roles for once.

You know, yeah, way there.

Listen, enjoy Timothy Shallamey while you can girls, because one day he'll be playing Gollum.

I still hit that. Let's move on to.

A lawsuit that's rocking the music world, although it involves Ed Sheeron, so maybe not so much rocking as keeping the music world entertained while shopping. Sharon, of course, isn't just Prince Harry with the job. He's also one of the most successful singer songwriters in the world, but now some people think that he got there by cheating.

Now to Ed Sheeran in court defending his Grammy winning hit Thinking Out Loud, Cheran is accused of copying one of Marvin Gaye's biggest hits.

The Family of Ed Townsend, Marvin Gay's co writer, accuses Sharon of copy the chord progression, rhythm, and other elements of Let's Get It On Here's Sharon's hit.

Baby Man.

Could Still Less Hard twenty.

And Marvin Gaye.

Sharon denies the allegations.

His lawyers plan to defend him by showing that both songs are based on a common chord progression. I'm sorry this is ridiculous. It just because something sounds a little bit like something else, it doesn't mean it was stolen on purpose.

I mean, four score and seven.

Years ago, you never would have seen a lawsuit like this. I have a dream that someday these nuisance lawsuits.

Will come to an end. Luke, I am your father.

Look, if anyone should be suing ed Sharon, it's Elvis. I mean, stealing a black guy's music was his idea. Now that's copyright infringements.

So I don't know.

How this is all going to turn out. But if ed Sheeran was smart, he tried to move this Marvin Gay trial to Florida. They refuse to acknowledge anything gay there. And finally, some exciting news out of the world of science. Researchers are coming very close to answering one of mankind's biggest questions, where are the sharks boning?

Great white sharks are among the most famous fish in the sea, but a key detail about their lives has remained a mystery for centuries. Researchers have been unable to find the place where they mate in the Atlantic Ocean. However, scientists may be on the verge of an answer.

Chris fisher found it.

Oh, search, they'll soon hit their goal of one hundred captures, tracking each one onlines.

There's nine white shark populations around the world, and no one has ever identified a mating site.

With centuries of people on the ocean. No one's ever documented this.

Oh, this is foe hundred million year old secret.

The ocean's not going to give it up.

Easy.

Hold on. Do sharks even have sex?

I thought they just ejaculated on eggs like salmon or that Denny's.

I don't go to anymore brand slamb.

But still, this is a very important scientific discovery. If there's one thing I know about sharks, it's that if they stop, they die. Oh wait, no, that's Nick Cannon I'm thinking of. For more on this research being done by scientists, we turned to Michael Costa. Michael, you're out there on the ocean with the research team.

Have you found the mating site yet?

Not yet.

You know, the sharks only go to the mating site if they want a mate, so we have to wait until they've reached sufficient levels of what scientists call shark horniness. We've tried to get the sharks in the mood by throwing rose petals in the water playing some Marvin Gay or Ed Sheeran. No one can tell the difference.

But so far no luck, I see, I see. And what exactly is the scientific value of finding the shark mating site?

Oh, it's incredibly valuable, DESI. If we can find the part of the ocean where the great whites mate, then researchers can place a camera down there, and then we get to watch.

For research purposes.

Not really, no, no, we just want to watch, ideally in one of those underwater cages, you know, just out of sight, but they know we're there. And once they really get going, if you turn your oxygen tank off at the exact right moment, then it really kicks it up and dash.

Oh my god, Oh my god, Michael's that's gross. You guys only went there to watch these sharks have sex.

Well not at first, but but they're being so secretive about their mating site.

You know that now we gotta see it. If they're hiding it.

That, well, you know they're doing some real freaky shark shit down there. Okay, Plus the scientist told us, and I confirm this is a real fact. Assy great white sharks have two penises. We got to see how that works.

Oh my god, Michael, this is completely completely and hold on, did you just say two penises?

Go on?

Yeah?

Yeah, I wish I could. I have so many questions. Do they use both penises at the same time? Or is one of them a spare?

Right? Is one a grower and one a shower?

Is it like twins where one of them is slightly better looking than the other?

Science needs to know, right, right, we're right? Or like can the shark rub them together while she watches? Wait?

Sorry, god, no, cowsame. We didn't send you to the ocean just to indulge some kink.

How dare you?

Okay?

This isn't kinky, this is nature.

Studying the cyclical copulation patterns of these majestic apex predators could unlock the evolutionary mysteries of the deep.

Wow, you know what, Michael. I'm sorry. I totally underestimated your passion for this. Yeah, you're right, this is very exciting.

Oh yeah, it's exciting.

I am rock hard just thinking about it.

I've got a sperm.

Whale that's about the surface right here?

Does he?

Oh my god, Jesus Christ, Michael costs everybody.

I'm telling hr.

When we come back, we'll find out why Kentucky.

Welcome back to The Daily Show. I live here in New York City, but my heart and liver damage are from my home state of Kentucky. Thanks to Mitch McConnell and Ran Paul, Kentucky doesn't have the best reputation, so I wanted to show that there's a lot more than you think.

Take a look. Kentucky and I have both changed a lot.

Since my youth, but unfortunately the changes the state currently faces can't be resolved with accutane.

In one hundred and fifty hours of community service.

Kentucky legislators passed one of the strictest anti trans laws in the nation. House Built three hundred would allow prosecutors to charge a woman with criminal homicide if she gets an abortion.

At least can't enforce any kind of federal bait on gun.

Adding gender affirming care the name of drag show rifles, free school.

Trigger laws, a second business speak of stop.

These bills are getting shoved through like a fried chicken sandwich in McConnell's lipless mouth.

But do Kentuckians really feel this way?

Absolutely not.

Kentuckians are suffering because of their decisions. You can do things a lot better.

It's like we're both of the falling upon DEATHI earths there's.

A lot of straight white men, a lot of older men.

I would say, and to match in particular that the vast majority of American people are sick and tired of the guns turtle base.

There's that Southern hospitality on this. But she's right, Kentuckians aren't happy with their lawmakers. In fact, statistics have shown a majority support access to abortion, background checks on guns, and oppose the lawn gender affirming healthcare. So how is this happening. To get more insight, I met a local journalist who's shining a spotlight on the politics happening in conservative states. There's only one way to have this conversation,

So my view is we're seeing an extreme Republican agenda because our legislators are governing like Republicans, not like Kentuckians. If you look at the laws being passing Kentucky, they're the exact same ones being passed in Florida or Mississippi.

You know what, Let's just keep this flowing. I don't want to see this glass empty. Where do we go from here? Is there any solution?

I think ultimately we have to in the short term, shame them out of passing the most aggressive version of these bills, criticize them enough to make sure that they are told when they go to church or when they go to the grocery store that you passed a terrible bill and acted like a bigot.

Are you sure that shame would work with Kentucky Republicans.

I mean, look at rand Paul.

If I got my ass kicked in my front yard by my neighbor, I would never leave.

My house again.

I'm not saying it's a full proof point, and I'm just saying that these legislaters have to walk in public and live their life. And I do think you want to make clear that you have done something terrible.

It might be the drinks. But I have an idea.

What if we may change through the power of song, through subliminal messages.

We could write a country song. No one's tried that, No one's tried that. We'll sing it together, okay, because we know how it goes. It goes here in Kentucky.

We got bourbon and horses and a woman's rat to choose.

We have.

Well funded, well supported at school. Oh this is so good. Okay, we got to record this.

The irony is that even as the Kentucky legislature becomes more extreme, Kentucky's citizens are trying to bring the state together.

Citizens like Edward Lee. Edward Lee, an award winning chef, founded the Lee Initiative on nonprofit so he can do increase diversity and equality in the restaurant industry, and he's achieving this on a national level as well.

Chef Edward Lee, owner of sixteen Magnolia and Louisville, has been invited to the White House to cook for the US and South Korea state dinner.

When it comes to politics, he has a more grassroots approach.

There are people in power here that have their agenda, but there's some belief in me where you stay and you fight the good fight, and you build a community and make sure that people do not feel marginalized, that people do not feel alone, that people do not feel like they're the only ones in this fight. And to me,

Do you think this level of humanity and kindness and outreach that you do could ever exist in the Kentucky legislature.

They come here for dinner, I can ask.

Them, has Mitch McConnell ever?

Can we don't serve intel?

You don't serve in?

Tell we've been here twenty one years. I'll say this, everyone's been through here.

How many times have you spit in this food?

I waited tables for ten years.

Oh that is against everything I've seen.

I know a thing or two about spitting in food.

Despite not taking my advice and loved me feeling hopeful. So I sobered up and hit the streets to see if other people shared Ed's vision.

You have to have hope because otherwise you wake up and you live in fear.

And that's not what we in Kentucky do.

We get up and we go to work, and we take care of our families, were good to our neighbors.

When something bad happens in the state, everyone rallies together and the good fight still continues on.

We are the solution, and we truly have got to become much more forceful and active. I think we can make it uncomfortable enough for those who are in charge of the voting, who are in charge of a prison, I guess.

Yeah, make him uncomfortable, slip those laxatives.

Key is car not a bag of shit on his doorstep?

And you have the problem with that only makes me look bad.

That would not achieve the.

Goal I have.

Plus it takes all that time to shit in the bag and light on fire.

That's right, right, thank you.

You know we can get some good bourbon around here, well at my house.

But oh the way I follow you, it's a lot.

But you know, I actually haven't fined.

If you don't mind picking up the tab, I've racked up quite the mill.

You said, Kentucky's are generous, right.

Make them back.

Jamila Jamil will.

Be joining me on the show, so double.

Welcome back to The Dailey Show. My guest tonight is an actor, activist, and the host of the SmartLess media podcast Bad Dates. Please welcome Jamila Jamil the fashion alone. I knew you'd be bringing the fashion.

I knew you, and I brought my little bag. This is where that I bring my handbag on television.

You don't trust anybody, no.

Is I think it's specifically like a woman of color thing where we're just always ready for some sort of shit to go down.

Well, don't trust anyone.

No, don't trust any least of all you, babe. Yeah, well, you're doing so wonderfully. I'm loving you on the show.

I am loving you.

I am a huge fan of yours. You're such a brilliant comedic actress. I loved you in the good place and uh and but I have to say, I think one of the things that I adore most about you is how outspoken you are on social media, standing up for things that you believe in.

In one whoop, everyone else is very upset.

We love it, we love it.

You are so vocal and it's so important, it means so much. So do you ever get nervous about that? Like I overthink what emojis I use on grin text.

No, I think the problem is that I don't get nervous about it. I think that's I think that's where we've gone wrong. And I accept that. But I also think that I have started to occupy a very important but rare space for a woman in media, which is representation. It's like, fine, I'm South Asian representation. I get that, But we don't have enough representation of women who make mistakes, who falter, who get back up, who learn, who grow

Woman up.

So I think we're are women that's but you know, no one's.

I didn't have those role models. I just saw only perfect people who always looked perfect, who always said the perfect thing. And I think that was kind of damaging. So there you go. I've found a way to pretend it's valuable.

You have a new podcast out, Bad Dates. It is so funny. You get the best guess and they come on and they tell these horrendous worst date stories.

Yeah, it's so disgusting, it's unbelieved. Never listened to it with any of your children, oh, or your parents. It's it's so filthy, it's so funny, and it's not about like traumatic bad dates. It's just about the silliest things we've ever done on the road to love or shagging or both. And I think that we can we can all relate. We've all you know, we've all been there.

We've all had terrible dates and or or sometimes we are the bad dates. Yeah, that's my wheelhouse. Yeah, what is your worst day?

You told a horrible date story.

The one that but I almost gave al Roca a hear heart attack.

Yeah, yeah, for the second time. Yeah, I'm sorry.

I didn't have the police.

Yes, no, no, I don't know I just madely made that up. No, you did, but it was a great It was a great story. And had has that guy ever come back?

No? But everyone's looking for him. Everyone's looking for him because he's a he's a famous man. Basically, there was an incident with he Oh god, he took three steps into my apartment passed out and had a seizure and all of his front teeth broke and flew across my apartment and I had to call nine one one, which was actually really exciting if you're English and you've seen it.

In the movies, but I did that.

The police come in and the ambulance and the fire brigade and everyone's trying to resuscitate him. They bring him back to and they're like, sir, have you taken anything. He's like, I've had a little bit of cocaine. By all was take okaine And I was like and then

Such a beautiful first aid story. Yeah, thanks you they this is It's.

Not James, it's not my boyfriend.

Now they're together, they get a healthy relationship. This is This is reason alone why they should start regulating a rectile dysfunction medications as much as they regulate the abortion film.

Who It Is?

It was an actor?

Is it? Chris Evans?

It's not? Is it? And he has had a beard ever since because he split his chin open that day and had loads of stitches. So just look under the chins of all of your next few guests. You know you'll maybe find it.

My god, it's such a funny, do you So you hear all these horrible bad date stories. What if you could give a piece of advice to people who are out there dating right now? Having heard all these stories, what would you say?

Anything's a dildo? If you're brave enough.

I love that.

Fearious, fearless, I tell you, fearless.

Is it?

The problem? My problem says is they're literally ready to like late night TV.

You can literally say anything anything you You started this movie meant called eyeweight, which started as a social media post but now it's blown up into this huge movement.

What is it? So? It started off as a kind of conversation and a movement around eating disorders and the ways in which we value, specifically women around their body weight.

I'm so sorry, I didn't think anyway, would hear that? And so pretend like that didn't happen.

I think we say sometimes we can sometimes over punish people for what they just don't already know, and we can't separate ignorance from evil. And so what we created at Eyewey is a safe space where you know.

Where you're from, you're giving this very meaningful anyway.

Look, wherever you're from, wherever you're at in your knowledge, you're well and with me because I don't know shit about anything, and so if I can learn from these wonderful people on the Iway podcast, which are separate to the Bad Dates podcast. They are very different. Then you can join me in what I've been learning.

And there's a there's a movement coming, and there's.

Around it, so it is a whole movement in general. And we work with policies and we work with social media sites to make them less toxic. But now I'm going after the you know, I've I've made a big deal about the diet industry and I don't know if anyone heard, but now I'm taking on the exercise industry because it's become intertrent. I feel like it's shagging the diet industry right. They're they're now in a close and personal relationship, and it is shagging the rest of us.

We're just getting.

Shagged exactly, but not in a nice way. And so I'm I'm incredibly concerned at how much people only ever associate exercise with weight loss and with looking a certain way, or with like hyper fitness. And that's been reinforced by everything we see. The campaigns are always like the slimmest, most often whitest, and the fittest and fastest people in the world. And actually, because I had an eating sort

Like you.

Loose clothes, you can dress like eminem you can do what you want.

Yeah, and so you know, it's like you can.

You can slack while you while you're exercising within reason, like be careful about throwing up down yourself. But I just want to reclaim it. I want to make sure that this isn't this club that we get left out of. Exclusive shouldn't be a good word anymore. It's a terrible word. It means leaving people out deliberately and pricing them out. It's becoming a wealth gap situation. So I'm trying to bring people back to exercise. We're trying to democratize exercise.

Thank you, Thank you for the work that you do.

It's so appreciated you guys.
