Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow, our journey as humans is very inspiring, but not to like animals. Like we're like, look how far we've come, and every animal on the planet is like this mouth because it's the chopped down our houses. And they kill us to wear us. Dog, they just wear us. What do you mean? Where it where us? You know they're gonna take your your back and they're gonna put it on their back. But what what do they have on their back? Nothing? Clearly you don't.

They have skin? Nah, they will, they got they've got it, but it's like useless. Apparently I don't know what happened with their skin, and so they're just gonna wear us. These are the conversations animals are having about us till this day. Imagine chickens talking to each other. Yeah, he know it gives them good dreams. Is like the feathers of our ancestors. What, Yeah, they need to sleep on our dead bodies for a good night's sleep. What can

they not make the pillows out of anything? Else? They can? They can, but they don't like to. What were the other options? Well, they used to use uh cotton that some of them had picked. Yeah, Jesus. These people are monsters. I know. I know. Anyway, I'll chat you later. I've got to go turn into a bucket of pieces that they're not going to finish. See Lata. Coming to you from the heart of times for in New York City, the only city in America. It's The Daily Show. Here's

a du tonight. Bye bye, Bryan, How Congress is getting rich? And Rick Glassman. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and joining me for today's headlines is our very own Runnie Chang. What's going on? RUnni? How you doing? Hey Trevor, good to see you again. Uh well, I'm okay. But I got COVID like five weeks ago, and uh wow, Yeah it was. It was intense. It felt really sick. I'm glad I recovered, but I think I may have

some lingering headaches, brain fog. And the worst part about COVID is, uh afterwards, I look at Machine Gun, Kelly and Megan Fox News, and I I just feel nothing like you've lost Yeah, I just lost complete interest, like I would be scrolling. I'll see them like biting each other's tongues or something, and I'll be like, I don't care about this, and you know, I just I hope in a few months this goes away and I once again can enjoy Megan Kelly machine Gun Fox News. You see,

that's part of the thing. It's happening to you now, even mixing up there. Oh did I just mix it up? Damn? I'm sorry, man, It's all right, you know, cheez running well. It could be worse. It could be worse, it could be worse. I'm glad you're getting better, and I hope that you care about them again one day. Thank you, Roy, Well, thanks for being here. All right, let's jump straight into

today's headlines. We kick things off with major news out of the Supreme Court, Yes, the second most powerful court in the United States, right off, the judge Judy. Out of all the justices on the Supreme Courts, the oldest one is Stephen Bria. And you know how it goes with old Supreme Court justices. Eventually, whether they like it or not, they go and meet the one true judge.

So Democrats have been relentlessly pestering Brier to step down so that they can replace him before Mitch McConnell comes back into power and makes a rule that all Supreme Court justices have to have been Platinum Q and on members in the past. And today Bria finally made the Democrats dreams come true. Breaking news a bombshell announcement out of the U. S. Supreme Court, reverberating across the nation's legal and political landscape. CNN has learned that Justice Stephen

Bryer plans to retire. Briar is eight three years old, and he has resisted calls to retire from liberals who want President Joe Biden to have a Supreme Court nomination slot that he can use this year. Apparent Brier has decided to move forward with that retirement now, and it sets up a political battle here for President Biden, who will have the opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice. As a result, Justice Stephen Brier, the leading liberal on

the Court, he will retire. We're still not exactly sure of the timeline, but presumably not until the end of this term, which ends up usually at the end of June. Is big, y'all. Justice Brian is retiring, Yeah, probably to focus more on his ice cream brand. I don't know, but honestly, no one, no one should be surprised by this news, right. It probably isn't fun being hounded old day by people screaming at you to retire. I mean, imagine, think about everywhere this guy goes, people are telling him

he should be retiring. He's probably in line at the grocery store and people like, retire bitch. Is it Starbucks? The name of the cup is retire bitch. He's at the synagogue and the rabbis like, retire bitch. Right now, a lot of Democrats are relieved, but I don't know. People. I feel like the only win here is gonna be Mitch mconnell. Maybe I'm just God, Yeah, because even though the Republicans don't control the Senate, don't be shocked, don't

be shocked, and Mitch still makes it happen. He's just gonna come out like March's a long standing shot, a tradition that we're kind of confirmed or Supreme Court justice in a year where there's no treason of Ozark or Netflix Ma, we're all gonna watch it first and then proceress what happened. Crazy share As to the speculation about who will replace Brian. President Biden has already promised that if he gets the chance, he's going to nominate a

black woman to the Supreme Courts. But you gotta admit, that's gonna be a really powerful moment. You know he's giving that speech, it's gonna be really special until he says that she's the finest Negro judge of the Negro leagues. And you know, come on, man, come on man. Well you know, Trevor, we're gonna go ratio with the Supreme Court. Joice thing. I just want to play out there that you know, Americans have a really strong history of jurisprudence

in America. I mean O. J. Simpson trial, that was us man, udgo got you did that stuff? So if you like that outcome. Also, I don't know how many times I have to say this on the show, but I have a law degree. And also I am extremely judging, you know what I mean. I judge everything, Like when I wake up, I'm judging everyone. I'm judging you right now, like your suit was that polka dots? That looks like shit.

I'd be perfect for this role, you know what I'm saying. Also, in America, there's only two jobs with lifetime appointments as the host of Prices Right and Supreme Court judge, which means you can't get fired. Trevor, do you know how much ship I would talk if I couldn't get fired? No, no, tell me running, I would talk so much Ship. I'm so much more free to express myself. And isn't that

what being America is about? Being free? Yeah? I would love to know all the things you have to say about me when you're free, I mean considering what you say about me when you're held back exactly. So let's work to make this happen, Biden, I'm available. I like to announce my candidacy for the Supreme Court of the United States both for me on Twitter. Thank you, Ronnie. And that's a powerful statement. It's not polka dost their

little like squiggly things. Okay they look like anyway. Let's move on to the big entertainment story everyone's talking about today. It's about Disney movies, which everyone loves. Right. We all love Disney movies, especially the classics. They're the reason that we all believe in true love and all hates our stepmothers, and Disney loves remaking those films because Disney rarely understands

the value of money. But as the originals get remade, people start to notice things that don't quite work in the modern era. As one famous act that just pointed out Walt Disney Studios on the defensive following harsh criticism by Emmy winning actor Peter Dinklage over the upcoming live action adaptation of The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starring West Side Story actress Rachel Zegler, I was a little taken back by the very very very very proud

to cast a Latino actress as snow White. But you're still telling the story of snow Snow White. Yeah, seven Dwarves. You're progressive in one way, and then but you're still making that backward story of seven dwarves living in a cave. To get what you're doing, man, Disney releasing a statement responding to the backlash, writing, in part to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting

with members of the dwarf is um community. Oh boy, all right, let me start by saying this from the beginning. I am not a dwarf. So if Peter Denklige says that this is a problem, I'm not going to say that he's wrong because I've never watched Snow White and found the dwarves offensive. All right, But I do understand what he's talking about. I genuinely do, because if that movie was called Snow White and the Seven Blacks, I mean, that would be weird. And you could tell me, oh, Trevor, no,

the blacks are actually the heroes. It's still it's it's it's a great story. Let me tell you something, yo, man, that's still a white lady and her friendly blacks still set off my spidy sense. And look, I wish I wish Didney the best of luck in this thing. Personally, I wouldn't touch the story with a ten foot poll. Yeah, because it's still seven dwarves living in the forest. I

don't think it's a great idea. And that's not even the biggest issue of all, because don't forget, the whole story revolves around a woman being drugged and then some dude comes and kisses her without her consent. And I know Bill Cosby is now available for the role, but that's not the point. Just saying this thing is uh, you know, yeah, Well, look, Trevor, can we just give Disney a chance and let's judge the movie after it

gets made. I mean, the Disney has had a good history lately of like updating things and making character three dimensional and bad guys good right, Like, look at Cruella right from the other one Dalmatians, literally the cruel Devil is her name, and she kills puppies and then they put em a stone in there. In the prequel it turns out some puppies killed her mom. And then you go, o, now I know why you were killing puppies in the

second things. I'm just saying, give him a chance. Anyway, Let's talk about Joe Rogan, the King of podcasts and Aaron Rodgers personal physician. What do you think about him? Rogan is one of the most influential voices in America right now because eleven million people listen to his show. Eleven million people. Yeah, and some of what they hear is a little suspect, right, you know, whether it's misinformation about COVID or whatever was happening here. What did call you?

And mean very white mean and and a mean angry white man hilarious. Yeah, you know what I mean at all? I am white. Actually that's a lie too, I'm kind of tan and he was actually not black and white. Thing is so strange because the shades are there's such a spectrum of shades of people, unless you're talking to someone who is like African from the darkest place where they're not wearing any clothes all day and they've developed all that melanin to protect themselves from the sun. You know,

it's even the term black is weird. Ye oh my god, I'm not black. I'm not black. Sure, Rogan's red. I'm like a caramel mochov frappuccino. This yeah, this change is everything. This change. Is that a thing the police said, I'm black? But yeah, apparently Joe Rogan really wants to know why they say black people if they're not the color of a shoppy And this actually is a common question. Yeah. In fact, when my brother was five years old, he

asked me the exact same thing. And I know a lot of people who are upset about this, but look at the upside. At least Joe Rogan wasn't talking about vaccines, so that is a step in the right direction. All right, let's acknowledge that. You know what was weird about this whole thing was Rogan's guest or Jordan Peterson, saying that his skin is actually tan. My man, you're not tan like that guy is. That's white. If anyone buys skin tanner and they end up looking like Jordan Peterson, they

should sue the company. Have you seen his skin color? Like he could be snow white. The thing that these guys seem to be ignoring is that black people didn't call themselves black. You understand that, right, not like black people like we're black. No. In Africa, we have tribes, we have cultures, Zulu, Tassa, Baganda, Igbo, Wakandans. But then white people got there and they're like, wow, there's a lot of black people here, a lot of black people. Yeah.

Then in America they invented a rule that if you had one drop of black blood in you, that makes you black, which defined how you were treated by the government and by society. Even vampires wouldn't bite you look first for that blood. But I'm applying for a mortgage. I can't risk it, you know what, Trevor. I mean, Look, Joe is right, man, I gotta agree with him on

this one. Race is fluid. Like what is race? Like one time I put on like a Korean charcoal face mask and I felt kind of Asian until I put it on and I realized it was black face. And then I started thinking, hey, man, I can really emphasize with the with the struggle. And then, as I said out loud, I got canceled, which maybe feel white, and I had to stuff on the bottom of shovis again,

which made me feel Asians. All right. There, I had like five different ratio experiences in the course of like ten minutes, all right, And so like what is race? I'm gonna chalk this up to the COVID whatever. Man, I'm just saying, race is fluid. Man, I feel you there, Ronnie. All right, that's it for the headlines. Don't go away because when we come back, we're gonna tell you how to get rich. You don't want to miss it. Welcome

back to the Daily Show. Let's talk about Congress. It's the number one tourist destination for people trying to hang Mike pants. Now you may not know this, but most members of Congress are forced to scrape by on am easily two hundred thousand dollars a year salary, which, when you think about it, is barely enough to afford a good prostitute. So naturally they need to supplement their income

by investing in the stock markets. It's a natural thing, but if you can believe it, there's now a new move in Congress to stock members from trading stock school together. It's rare these days for this divided Congress to agree on absolutely anything, but there may be one issue. It has the likes of Alexandria Occasio Cortez and Kevin McCarthy on the same side. They're both among members of Congress

pushing for new restrictions on how lawmakers trade stocks. Democratic Senator John Ausoff just released a bill tonight that would force lawmakers to put their assets into a blind trust or pay a fine of their entire salary. GUP Senator Josh Holly is working on a version too, and in the House there's already a bipartisan bill called the Trust in Congress Act. This comes only a few weeks after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doubled down on members right to

invest in the stock market. Members of Congress me there's thousands de band from trading individual stocks while in Congress. No, I don't know to this second one. This is a free market in people, a free market economy that should be able to participate in that. Okay, Well, first of all, I can't believe there's an issue that AOC and Kevin McCarthy agree on. Those people don't agree on anything except that those kids on euphori are way too horny. Don't

you guys have homeworker. I'm pretty sure you can't put cocaine on a college application. And by the way, this bill, it's quite a move for a new senator like John Assof Think about it. The guy just got to the Senate and he's already coming after the wallets of his coworkers. It's like showing up to prison on your first day and being like, hey, Warden, I think these guys are

using spoons to dig something. But the question still is why do so many representatives from across the political spectrum want to ban Congress from trading stocks and why is Nancy Pelosi against that? Well, let's find out in another installment of If you don't know, Now you know. The first thing to know is that historically Congress has had no restrictions when it comes to trading stocks. For most of American history, inside of trading, laws that affected CEOs

didn't apply to members of Congress. So if Thomas Edison testified behind closed doors sentences, could just call up their broker going dump all my shares and candles. That ship's over. I tell you you see, they could use all of this advanced secret knowledge to make money for themselves, and it was illegal for everyone else to do it. But for some reason, Congress could. I mean it may have something to do with the fact that they were making

the laws. Who knows. So it's no surprise that members of Congress have been really good at timing the stock markets. Economists of studying the portfolios of members of Congress and find they systematically outperformed the stock market. A study of data from the nineties showed senators trades outperformed the market by twelve percent per year. That crushes investment guru Warren Buffett, who only managed to beat the market by two point

five percent of that decade. The thousand eight financial crisis turned out to be a free for all for insider trading on Capitol Hill. According to a Washington Post expose, a thirty five members cashed out on information they received from meetings with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and others. One of those attending was Alabama Representative Spencer Bachus. While Congressman Bacchus was publicly trying to keep the economy from cratering,

he was privately betting that it would. Buying option funds that would go up in value if the market went down, he would make a variety of trades and profit at

a time when most Americans were losing their shirts. Now, look, I know seeing politicians profit off of an economic meltdown might make you angry, but don't forget they suffered to do you have any idea how heart it is to pretend to be sad when you're making bank They had to give speeches of fighting the urge to do the dougie live on camera, and obviously something fishy is going on when members of Congress are doing better in the stock market than Warren Buffett. I mean, it definitely makes

those fun raising emails even more annoying. I need five dollars by midnight, bitch, gonna talk to your in trade. What are you talking to me for? I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm just jealous. Maybe I'm just jealous because members of Congress they get all the coolest secrets. You know, which stocks to buy, who the CIA is killing, where they're keeping the aliens. Every other workplace has stupid secrets.

Like my coolest secret right now at the show is that our producer Shelley is pregnant and she's going to surprise her husband on Valentine's Date four room. But when people found out about Congressman making money off of the financial crash, there was a big enough outcry that Congress was finally shamed into regulating themselves. They passed the Stock Act, which banned members of Congress from trading stocks based on private information and forced them to publicly disclose all their

trades within forty five days. But it turns out that legislation is like most members of Congress before, bed, completely toothless. It is certainly illegal for members of Congress to partake in insider trading. UH. Proving that is very difficult. If you want to nail them on insider trading, good luck. You can essentially say, listen, I was reasonably told by my broker I should sell, or I heard similar stuff

from a third party. D j has yet to successfully convict an elected member of Congress based on this law. Even if the law is followed, it barely has any teeth. Nearly fifty lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, and nearly two hundred of their staffers have repeatedly violated the Stock Act with almost no consequences. You can make tens of millions of dollars with privilege information. And what's the penalty for failing to report these purchases. It's a joke. It's as

low as two hundred dollars. Who two hundred dollars is the penalty? I mean, look, I'm no math expert, but but if I have to pay a two hundred dollar fine to make a trade that earns me millions of dollars, I feel like I'm coming out head like I'm making a thousand dollars in profit. At least, right, two hundred dollars is not a penalty, people, That's the chip you throw to the dealer after you win the poker tournament. Hell, you lose two hundred dollars just carrying the million dollars

to the bank. So it turns out that the Stock Act is just another one of those laws that no one enforces, you know, like jaywalking or pushing all the buttons in elevator. And don't forget, it's really hard to prove inside of trading. You can just say you weren't even paying attention during that private briefing that you've got, which as a member of Congress is actually a very believable alibi. So the Stock Act really did nothing to

stop inside of trading. Like remember remember how those congressmen sold those stocks before the crash in two thousand and eight. Well, the same thing happened again a couple of years ago before COVID hits. Yeah, multiple Senators dumped their stocks after intelligence officials told them in a private briefing that all those coughing people in China were about to tank the

world economy. And still no one got punished, Which is why even after the Stock Act, members of Congress continue to do so well that some of them have their own financial groupies, and no one has more than Nancy Pelosi. Some TikTokers are getting stock market ideas by tracking members of Congress, and one of their favorites is how Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi just purchased millions of dollars in call options. You've got to see this, shouts out to

Nancy Pelosi, the stock market's biggest whale. Apparently she's decided to go very heavy and text doots. I'm gonna show you guys which one she bought. The Queen of Investing just spent three hundred thousand dollars on this one stock, So I think I'll be picking up a couple of shares on Monday. This stock is about to go crazy because Nancy Pelosi bought it. Yeah, that's right. Nancy Pelosi is a star on TikTok and she didn't need to steal any black people's dance moves to do it. That's amazing.

In fact, I almost respect Pelosi's hustle. She's eighty one years old. Most of her friends are probably playing the Nickel Schlotz right now, but she knows that it doesn't matter if it's casinos or Wall Street, the house always wins. Baby. Now, has Pelosi been so successful because of inside information? There's no way to know. But what's clear is that just being a member of Congress means that you'll probably know about the bad stuff that will crash your stock before

the rest of us. Yeah, whether it's a housing bubble or elon musk hoasting SNL and I'm SOI members of Congress are banned from trading stocks, Congress will keep having an edge over regular people, and it will all be completely legal, or at the very least so unenforceable that it's legal by default, which you gotta admit, is such a smooth way to do corruption. In fact, it's such a smooth way that leaders in other parts of the

world are starting to take notice. Gentleman, welcome to today's listen. Say that to your people have given you the secret trust of political office. How do you use that trust to get rich? I will pass laws that help those corporations in exchange for money. No, that is corruption. What you do is you buy the stock in the company and then you pass the law. But that is also corruption. No, that is the free market. Say it with me, free market,

free marketing, feeling, free markets, free markets. Put it in your bonds. Free markets markets could in America. If you say the word free markets, you can't do anything. It is like their witchcraft. But teacher, what if I get caught trending on my inside knowledge? Then you pay the pen out? But as the lawmaker, you get to decide the penalty. Oh, I'll pay two dollars. The is insultingly low. Good job, you know what to do. I have the only people, I'll say the children. I would buy stocks

in unprot You have passed the tests. There's no time or no there is all right. When we come back, I'll be talking to the hilarious Rick Glassman about a show that combines autism and comedy. What stay tuned. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight's is comedian and actor Rick Glassman. He's here to talk about his new series that follows a trio of roommates on the autism spectrum as they navigate life, work, and pursuing love. Oh man, Rick last, We welcome to the Daily Show.

Thanks for having me. Um. This is a really fun show. When people tell you about a show and they go this show is going to be about these people, you you immediately think a few things. It doesn't matter who the people are. So they go like, this is going to be a black show. This is going to be a show about Africans, This is gonna be show but you know what I mean, there's gonna be a show about autism and go like, oh, what does that mean?

And then you watch the show and you go like, the people in the show just happened to be dealing with autism. It's a show, it's a story. Incidentally, I thought our show was going to be a black show until it came out. Um, and it's funny that you bring that up as an example. Um, yeah, it was. It was a pleasure to do this. Uh. I was diagnosed with autism five years ago, and when I first found out, it was like a superpower. I was so excited.

All these obstacles that in my life that were unrelated patterns kind of started showing themselves and I was like, oh my god, this makes so much sense. And I and I was reading up on it and I found all these tools that I never developed, and I was so excited. And as I began to tell my friends, some people would be like, yeah, that makes sense, and some people would tell me that's how what autism is.

And I got in a really bad depression for a little over a year because this identity that I wanted to take on, I didn't understand how to explain that makes sense. It makes a lot of sense, That makes a lot of sense. I'm learning new tools on how to speak to people and I'm figuring stuff out. Incidentally, this is my first doing this a late night show

in an interview. And when I booked the show, I was so nervous about this moment because I didn't want to be obligated to be a spokesperson about a thing that I was still learning about myself. Oh man, that's deep, and thank you, that's really deep. No, for real. But then I do the show and I had one autistic friend before the Showy. I do the show and there's a quote that I love. It's Dr Stephen Shorey said, if you met one person with autism, it means you

met one person with autism. I love that quote. I love that too because it made me feel like I don't have to explain who I am. I could just be it and I'm accepted or I'm not. And um. What I found is is once I got my diagnosis, it did two things for me. Internally. It allowed me to better communicate and teach people how to communicate with me. I would often say, listen, if you think I'm weird,

just tell me. I'm not going to pick up on it, you know, just if I'm being annoyed, give me the benefit of the doubt and just say, Rick, slow it down. But did anyone do that? Yeah, you're given that that opportunity. It lets them feel safe, so safe that they don't even care. Oh yeah he told me about this, It's fine. That's really interesting. I wonder if it's because in a way, being vulnerable with the person makes them comfortable being vulnerable

back with you. So, if you feel like somebody's being quote unquote weird, it's hard to say that because you don't know how you feel. You don't know, you don't want to hurt the pressure, you don't want to say the thing. There is a vulnerability in coming with telling somebody how you feel about how they're making you feel. And so if you put yourself in the position where you go like, hey, I'm actually the person that has an issue, they then go like, oh, they have other issues,

and then they just go I'm comfortable. Now. What I've learned is at least this has helped like myself worth is. Like you said, everyone has an issue. But the issue if you have a problem with me, isn't the thing I'm doing. I mean, if I'm punching you maybe, but it's it's it's the one little thing of the of the lack of connection. It's the communication. And people don't want to say, why are you doing that, They'd rather just assume that, like we're trying to be polite and

that's the light. Yeah, but but we think it's polite. That's what I love about the show. You're meeting individuals, you're meeting people. You know. The character you play is very different to the characters of some of your costmates are playing, and you're seeing different spectrums, you're seeing different characters, you're seeing different obstacles in life. And that's what I love about the show. But most importantly, can I say this,

it's funny and it's hot warming. People are telling a story about people who have to happen to have autism, and they have autism in real life. There were characters that I met on set because all the neurodiverse characters are played by neurodiverse actors. Also, there was one actor who has autism that played a neurotypical person. I'm meeting most of these people in the character they're playing and that's their autism, and then cut and I meet a

completely different person. And it's it was just so that's why I love that quote you meet one person. I mean for every person I met on set, I met two people with autism, their representation of it, and then who they really were. And it made me feel so good. And also this is this just happened a few days ago, and I almost want to check in, but it's fine, we won't say names. But there's a friend of mine who was the next girlfriend. Um, well, okay, we have

time for this. Yeah, go go go ahead. Good. If we don't have time, I'll just cut it out. You'll leave it. Um, a friend of mine, uh I was dating and um, I went to her hometown. This is nine years ago, pre diagnosis. And there were a couple of obstacles with the mom that I didn't know. We're happening all right. Small example is I only had a few things to do laundry, and I was gonna do them. But that's a waste, I'll she said, I'll do all the laundry, and I'd like to do my own. Please

let me. She was gonna wash it with these purple sheets that I knew we'd never been washed before. And I'm like, well that sure, because she's been washed before. She thinks I'm saying she doesn't know how to do laundry. I'm thinking, I'm just trying to save my shorts. A

lot of things kept happening. Uh. Then there was a moment where my my girlfriend at the time was at her neighbor, so it was just a mom and me and making hot dogs and great, and I took a look in the hot dogs or purple, which was odd. So I didn't want to ask anything because I've had a lot of purple drama already. So I look in the garbage to see just how days expired or with brand. Maybe it's a purple hot dog, fun hot dog. I

don't know, you gotta ask. And the rappers were under some garbage, which made me feel like if she hiding, the hiding hiding. So now it expired four years ago, the hot dogs expired four years ago, and they're hidden. So now I'm h what do I do. I don't know how to approach this because I'm recognizing something is a little odd from that day, a little yeah. So I just said, hey, you know what, I'm not gonna eat the hot dog. I don't need to give the details.

I'm an adult. I get it. I could go around it, but she said why So I told her the hot dogs are purple, and she said, well, they're fine, and I said they expired four years ago, and she said they were in the freezer and I said, freezers aren't mad Jack, and we're getting in my head.
