ANNOUNCER: From New York City,
the only city in America,
3
00:00:05,072 --> 00:00:07,508
it's the show that
invented news.
4
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:13,080
This is The Daily Show with
your host, Wanda Sykes.
5
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:20,187
[cheering]
6
00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:33,000
Hey.
7
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:34,001
What's going on, everybody?
8
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:38,972
Welcome to The Daily Show.
9
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:46,079
I'm Wanda Sykes.
10
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:52,419
Wow.
11
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:54,087
Hey, all right.
12
00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:55,455
That's enough.
13
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:57,491
Welcome to The Daily Show.
14
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:00,527
I'm Wanda Sykes, and I'll
be your host this week.
15
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:03,163
Yeah, my wife asked me
to load the dishwasher,
16
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:04,665
and I needed an out.
17
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:08,902
[laughter]
18
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,706
So I'm so happy to be here.
19
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:15,275
We've got a great
show for you tonight.
20
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:16,944
We've got a lot
of news to cover.
21
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:19,079
We've got my friend
Mike Epps in the house.
22
00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:21,148
So let's get some headlines.
23
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:26,620
[cheering]
24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,223
Well, I don't know how
your 2023 is going,
25
00:01:29,323 --> 00:01:33,794
but it has not been going
well for President Joe Biden.
26
00:01:33,894 --> 00:01:37,364
Just when we were ready to
move on to the next scandal,
27
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:41,368
the FBI searched his house
for 13 hours on Friday.
28
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:45,472
And they found even more
classified documents.
29
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:48,175
At this point, the FBI
is just decluttering
30
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,309
Biden's house for him.
31
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:51,478
[laughter]
32
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:54,248
They're like Marie Kondo
going around his rooms
33
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:59,286
like, this list of spies
does not spark joy.
34
00:01:59,386 --> 00:02:02,122
[laughter]
35
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:07,861
[applause]
36
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,763
No, but, honestly, this
doesn't bother me at all.
37
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:10,964
I mean, come on.
38
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:16,503
The man has been in public
office for 238 years.
39
00:02:16,603 --> 00:02:18,572
I bet you most of
the shit he has
40
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:21,842
isn't even classified anymore.
41
00:02:21,942 --> 00:02:23,944
You read his notes,
and it's like, keep
42
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:28,448
an eye on this Hitler guy.
43
00:02:28,549 --> 00:02:30,918
It's just history now.
44
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:32,252
It's just history now.
45
00:02:32,352 --> 00:02:34,087
They're teaching this
stuff in schools.
46
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:39,560
Well, not in Florida,
but you know?
47
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:41,361
By the way, some of
you might not know,
48
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:45,532
but before doing standup, I
worked at NSA for seven years.
49
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,100
Yeah, it's true.
50
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:50,103
I had a top secret
clearance and everything.
51
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,272
Thank me for my
service, damn it.
52
00:02:52,372 --> 00:02:58,979
[cheering]
53
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:01,114
So I got to say, this story
has me a little concerned,
54
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:02,416
you know?
55
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:07,821
I'm sitting here thinking,
damn, what is in my garage?
56
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:10,324
I put that back, right?
57
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:11,658
Yeah, yeah, I put that back.
58
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:13,260
I put that back.
59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,329
But in Biden's
defense, at least
60
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:18,799
he is cooperating with
the FBI searches, right?
61
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:22,703
[applause]
62
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:26,340
In fact, he's been so
cooperative, it makes
63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,276
me wonder, like, is
he hoping they do
64
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:32,079
work around the house for him?
65
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:34,548
Is Biden like,
you know, fellas,
66
00:03:34,648 --> 00:03:38,552
I think I have some
documents up in the gutters.
67
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:41,955
You might need to clear
the leaves out first.
68
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:43,690
I know Jill would love that.
69
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,193
She'd love that.
70
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,228
All right, now check
this story out.
71
00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:50,597
This weekend, the
Church of England
72
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:53,133
announced that it will
now allow its clergy
73
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,202
to bless same-sex marriages.
74
00:03:55,302 --> 00:03:58,772
But they're still not going
to allow the actual wedding
75
00:03:58,872 --> 00:04:00,874
to happen in the church.
76
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:04,278
But, hey, to be honest,
this is also how I feel
77
00:04:04,378 --> 00:04:07,548
about any destination wedding.
78
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:10,083
I ain't going to be
there, but good for y'all.
79
00:04:10,184 --> 00:04:14,321
[cheering]
80
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,323
Not going.
81
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:17,691
OK, let's move on.
82
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:21,361
Normally, I don't
find funerals funny.
83
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:24,598
[laughter]
84
00:04:24,698 --> 00:04:26,934
But here's a story
about a funeral
85
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:31,805
that I found hilarious because
this funeral had Donald Trump.
86
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:36,243
And that guy can turn
anything into a joke.
87
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:38,278
Maybe you've heard
of Diamond and Silk,
88
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:41,381
those two sisters
who are always--
89
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:44,685
two sisters who are always
showing up at his rallies,
90
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:50,123
praising him on TV, setting
the Black race back 50 years.
91
00:04:50,224 --> 00:04:52,693
You know those two.
92
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,428
Trump held meetings with them.
93
00:04:54,528 --> 00:04:56,663
He'd invite them
to the Oval Office.
94
00:04:56,763 --> 00:05:01,535
He would point at them and
say, see, Black people love me.
95
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:05,272
Well, sadly, Diamond
passed away a few days ago.
96
00:05:05,372 --> 00:05:08,041
Yeah, and Silk said
that she wanted Trump
97
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:10,777
to speak at the funeral
because the three of them
98
00:05:10,878 --> 00:05:12,880
were so close.
99
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,716
At least Silk thought
the three of them
100
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:19,820
were close until Trump
started to speak.
101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,123
You know, the world has lost
one of its brightest stars,
102
00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:24,391
real star.
103
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:28,061
But I see that we have
another star who is equal to,
104
00:05:28,128 --> 00:05:29,796
but she stepped up,
and she is different.
105
00:05:29,897 --> 00:05:31,532
I'm serious.
I thought I knew them both.
106
00:05:31,632 --> 00:05:32,833
I didn't.
107
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:35,702
I knew-- I knew Diamond, but
I didn't know Silk at all.
108
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,538
I just learned about Silk.
109
00:05:37,638 --> 00:05:38,939
You're fantastic.
110
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:44,511
You're going to carry on beyond
anybody's wildest imagination.
111
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:49,583
[laughter]
112
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:50,784
Oh, my god.
113
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:53,086
I mean, it's like Trump
showed up to that funeral
114
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:56,557
like, Diamond's dead, but
I'm going to bury Silk.
115
00:05:56,657 --> 00:05:57,858
[laughter]
116
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:02,429
Oh, yeah, there's room
for two in that casket.
117
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:03,530
I mean, come on.
118
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:06,066
To say you know Diamond
but don't know Silk
119
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:09,703
is wild because they're
always together.
120
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:11,605
That's like saying,
I know Bert,
121
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:15,676
but I've never heard
of this Ernie fella.
122
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:16,810
What's his deal?
123
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:22,082
[applause]
124
00:06:22,182 --> 00:06:24,718
I thought Sister, Sister
was just called Sister.
125
00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:27,955
[laughter]
126
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:31,225
Knowing Trump, he probably only
has room for one Black woman
127
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:34,595
in his brain at a time.
128
00:06:34,695 --> 00:06:38,565
If he turns on the TV right
now, he'll be like, wow,
129
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:40,734
Diamond's hosting
The Daily Show.
130
00:06:40,834 --> 00:06:47,841
[laughter]
131
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:52,112
You know, a week
ago, she was dead.
132
00:06:52,212 --> 00:06:56,750
But thanks to me, she's risen.
133
00:06:56,850 --> 00:06:59,386
And, finally, did you guys
watch the football game
134
00:06:59,486 --> 00:07:01,822
last night, the 49er-Cowboys?
135
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:04,625
Yeah, well, I tuned in to see
if the Dallas kicker would
136
00:07:04,725 --> 00:07:06,193
keep missing extra points.
137
00:07:06,293 --> 00:07:07,194
And he did.
138
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:08,729
He just kept missing them.
139
00:07:08,829 --> 00:07:11,265
And it was bad, y'all, because
the commentators were like,
140
00:07:11,365 --> 00:07:13,500
I don't even think the coach
is going to put them back
141
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,335
out to kick again, you know?
142
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:19,840
And I just thought of his poor
family watching, you know?
143
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:21,742
His kid's sitting there.
144
00:07:21,842 --> 00:07:27,614
They're not going to
let daddy kick anymore?
145
00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:28,916
It was awful.
146
00:07:29,049 --> 00:07:32,586
But then I saw something
even more horrifying.
147
00:07:32,686 --> 00:07:35,956
It was an ad that was
just for oil and gas--
148
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:38,625
not any particular
oil or gas company,
149
00:07:38,725 --> 00:07:41,228
just oil and gas in general.
150
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:42,329
Check it out.
151
00:07:42,429 --> 00:07:44,665
[upbeat music] 1, 2,
3, come give me a kiss.
152
00:07:44,765 --> 00:07:45,732
MAN: What if we
lived in a world
153
00:07:45,832 --> 00:07:47,401
without oil and natural gas?
154
00:07:47,501 --> 00:07:49,169
Life would be very
different because oil
155
00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:55,843
and gas are part of just
about everything you touch.
156
00:07:57,077 --> 00:08:01,181
From the stuff you wear
to the stuff in your hair
157
00:08:01,281 --> 00:08:04,251
and so much more.
158
00:08:04,351 --> 00:08:06,720
Our world would be
unrecognizable if the products
159
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:10,090
we rely on just disappeared.
160
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:16,363
Better luck next time.
161
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:20,434
Those greedy, oily bastards.
162
00:08:20,534 --> 00:08:22,302
See, this proves,
y'all, we're doing
163
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:24,505
something right because
they're getting nervous.
164
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:26,406
Because we're buying
electric cars.
165
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:29,042
We're switching
to solar energy.
166
00:08:29,076 --> 00:08:30,043
And they're like--
167
00:08:30,077 --> 00:08:32,880
[cheering]
168
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:37,351
And they're like, but
we also make footballs.
169
00:08:37,451 --> 00:08:38,352
But you know what?
170
00:08:38,452 --> 00:08:40,854
I will agree with
them on one thing.
171
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:45,192
If there was no oil, our
world would be unrecognizable.
172
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:48,795
It would look like this.
173
00:08:48,896 --> 00:08:52,466
What's-- what's all that
green shit on the bottom?
174
00:08:52,566 --> 00:08:53,734
Is that grass?
175
00:08:53,834 --> 00:08:55,502
You know, I heard about
it in history class.
176
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:56,803
I don't know.
177
00:08:56,904 --> 00:08:59,573
And what's with all that
shit that disappeared
178
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:01,141
into dust stuff they did, huh?
179
00:09:01,241 --> 00:09:03,443
They stole that right
from The Avengers.
180
00:09:03,544 --> 00:09:05,412
[laughter]
181
00:09:05,512 --> 00:09:07,881
That's from The Avengers.
182
00:09:08,015 --> 00:09:09,783
So these guys are
in the boardroom
183
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,719
like, oh, we need to
improve our image.
184
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:14,655
Hey, everyone likes
Thanos, right?
185
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:16,290
They like Thanos.
186
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:20,327
So for more on just how
damaging oil is to the planet,
187
00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:24,031
let's go to Michael Kosta,
who is at an oil spill
188
00:09:24,131 --> 00:09:25,732
down on the Gulf Coast.
189
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:26,733
Michael.
190
00:09:26,834 --> 00:09:33,841
[cheering]
191
00:09:35,042 --> 00:09:36,076
Wow.
192
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:39,680
Good lord, Michael, it
looks horrible down there.
193
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,816
No, no, it doesn't.
194
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:45,552
But all those birds
are covered in oil.
195
00:09:45,652 --> 00:09:48,055
OK, yeah, but think
about how many birds there
196
00:09:48,155 --> 00:09:49,122
are in the world, you know?
197
00:09:49,223 --> 00:09:51,058
Probably hundreds.
198
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:54,795
And I'm willing to
let these birds suffer
199
00:09:54,895 --> 00:09:57,764
if that means we can
keep enjoying the miracle
200
00:09:57,865 --> 00:10:00,300
liquid that is oil.
201
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,969
What?
202
00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:05,772
Did that bullshit commercial
actually convince you?
203
00:10:05,873 --> 00:10:08,308
All commercials convince me.
204
00:10:08,408 --> 00:10:10,611
That's why I have 15
insurance policies,
205
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:12,946
all my money's in
crypto, and in the 2000s,
206
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:17,818
I was always saying, wazzup!
207
00:10:17,918 --> 00:10:21,021
And this commercial made
some really great points.
208
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:24,525
Without oil, we would lose
so many precious products,
209
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:28,495
like hair gel or the bottle
the hair gel comes in
210
00:10:28,595 --> 00:10:31,865
or the chemicals I use to get
the hair gel out of my hair.
211
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:33,967
And that's just my hair, Wanda.
212
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:36,603
I mean, think of how much
hair is in the world,
213
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:38,038
probably hundreds.
214
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:40,974
Look, look, OK.
215
00:10:41,074 --> 00:10:42,042
OK, we get it.
216
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:45,078
You got oily-ass hair.
217
00:10:45,179 --> 00:10:48,115
Speaking of which, what
about the damage oil's
218
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:49,216
doing to our bodies?
219
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:51,785
I mean, kids are growing
up with asthma now.
220
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:53,954
OK, yeah, and the
asthma keeps the kids
221
00:10:54,054 --> 00:10:55,355
from smoking cigarettes.
222
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:59,059
I mean, it's actually
a thank you, oil.
223
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:03,130
[laughter]
224
00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:04,865
What about the
planet, Michael?
225
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:07,467
It's breaking down the
Great Barrier Reef.
226
00:11:07,568 --> 00:11:09,436
OK, I thought we
were supposed to be
227
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:12,472
breaking down barriers, right?
228
00:11:12,573 --> 00:11:15,576
See, who's the feminist now?
229
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:18,345
OK, I think your hair gel
is leaking into your brain.
230
00:11:18,445 --> 00:11:20,681
OK, OK.
231
00:11:20,781 --> 00:11:22,082
Trust me, Wanda.
232
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:24,084
My fine is brain.
233
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,520
My fine is very brain.
234
00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:28,088
But I'll tell you what.
235
00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:30,390
Let's imagine
your fantasy world
236
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:33,427
without oil because all
the things you would love
237
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:34,728
would be gone.
238
00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:36,697
Like, see these
birds covered in oil?
239
00:11:36,797 --> 00:11:42,703
If oil didn't exist,
they'd be gone.
240
00:11:42,803 --> 00:11:46,340
Why would the birds
disappear if oil didn't exist?
241
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,309
Wouldn't the oil on the
birds just disappear?
242
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:51,545
Do you know how hard it
is to get oil off of a bird?
243
00:11:51,645 --> 00:11:54,515
It's easier to just
get rid of the birds.
244
00:11:54,615 --> 00:11:58,685
And it's less bird poop
to track into my Lambo.
245
00:11:58,785 --> 00:11:59,753
Check that bitch out.
246
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:02,322
Candy apple red.
247
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:03,390
You bought a Lamborghini?
248
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:04,391
Oh, yeah.
249
00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:05,592
OK, all right.
250
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:07,294
Now it's all making sense.
251
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:09,730
The oil companies paid
you to say this shit.
252
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:11,131
No, no, no, no.
253
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:14,201
I was paid by an organization
called the Coalition of Super
254
00:12:14,301 --> 00:12:17,371
Ethical Energy Providers.
255
00:12:17,471 --> 00:12:18,372
Right.
256
00:12:18,472 --> 00:12:20,140
And who pays them?
257
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,442
Wanda, who pays
anyone, you know?
258
00:12:22,543 --> 00:12:25,245
I don't make decisions
because someone pays me.
259
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:28,715
I make decisions by taking a
long, hard look in the mirror
260
00:12:28,815 --> 00:12:32,920
and asking myself, wazzup?
261
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:38,158
And wazzup, Wanda, is that oil
is the bedrock of our society.
262
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:39,860
And the great
thing about bedrock
263
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,598
is you can drill into it to get
more of that sweet, sweet oil.
264
00:12:44,698 --> 00:12:45,599
All right, Mike.
265
00:12:45,699 --> 00:12:47,301
I can play this game too.
266
00:12:47,401 --> 00:12:49,736
If you're getting rid
of birds, I'm getting
267
00:12:49,837 --> 00:12:51,905
rid of your Lamborghini.
268
00:12:52,005 --> 00:12:52,906
What?
269
00:12:53,006 --> 00:12:54,641
No, come on!
270
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:56,476
Not my ghini.
271
00:12:56,577 --> 00:12:58,178
That bitch was candy apple red.
272
00:12:58,278 --> 00:12:59,179
Come on, Wanda.
273
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,347
Serves you right.
274
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,115
Michael Kosta, everyone.
275
00:13:02,216 --> 00:13:04,551
[cheering]
276
00:13:04,651 --> 00:13:05,853
All right.
277
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:10,257
When we come back, Roy Wood,
Jr. asks London what they
278
00:13:10,357 --> 00:13:12,092
think about America's guns.
279
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:15,529
[cheering]
280
00:13:22,003 --> 00:13:24,272
[cheering]
281
00:13:24,372 --> 00:13:31,046
[applause]
282
00:13:32,047 --> 00:13:35,050
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
283
00:13:35,150 --> 00:13:37,252
Over the weekend,
America had yet
284
00:13:37,352 --> 00:13:39,054
another mass
shooting, this time
285
00:13:39,154 --> 00:13:40,989
in Monterey Park, California.
286
00:13:41,089 --> 00:13:43,691
Tragically, 11 people
lost their lives.
287
00:13:43,792 --> 00:13:46,928
And we send our thoughts
and prayers to the victims,
288
00:13:47,028 --> 00:13:48,463
and the ones recovering.
289
00:13:48,563 --> 00:13:52,200
And sadly, that's all
we do in this country.
290
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:53,802
Because it only happens here.
291
00:13:53,902 --> 00:13:55,003
And why is that?
292
00:13:55,103 --> 00:13:57,138
Well, we all know the answer.
293
00:13:57,238 --> 00:14:00,041
But we sent Roy
Wood, Jr. overseas
294
00:14:00,141 --> 00:14:02,343
anyway to double-check.
295
00:14:02,444 --> 00:14:04,279
ROY WOOD, JR. (VOICEOVER): A
little while back, I traveled
296
00:14:04,379 --> 00:14:06,381
to merry old England,
a country that's
297
00:14:06,481 --> 00:14:08,149
got all kinds of weapons--
298
00:14:08,249 --> 00:14:11,753
swords, shields, wooden
catapults, terrible massage
299
00:14:11,853 --> 00:14:13,388
chairs, even magic wands.
300
00:14:13,488 --> 00:14:16,858
But the one weapon
you don't see is guns.
301
00:14:16,958 --> 00:14:19,627
So I wanted to find out
why, in my new segment,
302
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,596
Roy meets World.
303
00:14:21,629 --> 00:14:23,231
Edward, where are you from?
304
00:14:23,331 --> 00:14:24,432
Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
305
00:14:24,599 --> 00:14:29,371
OK, so do you feel safer
here or visiting America?
306
00:14:29,471 --> 00:14:30,705
Here.
307
00:14:30,805 --> 00:14:31,706
Safer here.
308
00:14:31,806 --> 00:14:32,707
Why?
309
00:14:32,807 --> 00:14:34,008
Do you feel safer here?
310
00:14:34,109 --> 00:14:36,244
Because everybody's
packing in the States.
311
00:14:36,344 --> 00:14:38,613
You really don't see guns out
here on a regular basis, huh?
312
00:14:38,646 --> 00:14:39,614
Not really.
313
00:14:39,647 --> 00:14:40,615
Even with the cops, if you--
314
00:14:40,648 --> 00:14:41,883
I mean, if you're
walking around
315
00:14:41,983 --> 00:14:44,185
and you do see some cops,
they don't have guns on them.
316
00:14:44,285 --> 00:14:45,186
Why is that?
317
00:14:45,286 --> 00:14:47,522
Why y'all police
don't have guns?
318
00:14:47,622 --> 00:14:49,257
I honestly don't
know about that one.
319
00:14:49,357 --> 00:14:51,659
Well, how are you going
to accidentally kill
320
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,529
somebody you wanted to kill?
321
00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:56,164
Yeah, well, that's
the whole point.
322
00:14:56,264 --> 00:14:57,365
You shouldn't be doing that.
323
00:14:57,465 --> 00:14:59,734
So in the UK, how
do you show power?
324
00:14:59,834 --> 00:15:02,370
How do you show people
you've got a big dick,
325
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:03,638
if you don't have a gun?
326
00:15:03,705 --> 00:15:05,640
I don't try and show
people that I got a big dick.
327
00:15:05,740 --> 00:15:06,841
I know I've got one.
328
00:15:06,941 --> 00:15:08,076
Like, I think that--
329
00:15:08,176 --> 00:15:09,411
That's one way to do it.
330
00:15:09,511 --> 00:15:13,181
As a woman, are you impressed
by men who have big guns?
331
00:15:13,281 --> 00:15:14,215
No.
332
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,718
We're have no use
for this in Norway.
333
00:15:16,818 --> 00:15:20,021
It's not common to have guns
in private homes at all.
334
00:15:20,121 --> 00:15:23,458
OK, so in Norway, how
do men let women know
335
00:15:23,591 --> 00:15:24,959
that they have a big dick?
336
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:25,960
Show it to them.
337
00:15:26,061 --> 00:15:30,365
[laughs]
338
00:15:30,465 --> 00:15:32,600
Can't do that in America.
339
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:33,735
That is not an option.
340
00:15:33,835 --> 00:15:35,036
ROY WOOD, JR. (VOICEOVER):
So they are packing.
341
00:15:35,136 --> 00:15:36,037
See?
342
00:15:36,137 --> 00:15:37,272
There's so much
our two cultures
343
00:15:37,372 --> 00:15:38,606
can learn from each other.
344
00:15:38,707 --> 00:15:42,510
Why do you think
Americans love guns so much?
345
00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:43,878
I think it's
something, like, deeply
346
00:15:43,978 --> 00:15:45,246
ingrained in the culture.
347
00:15:45,346 --> 00:15:48,917
Like, guns have been around for
a long, long time in the US.
348
00:15:49,017 --> 00:15:51,352
Like, in the UK, it's
not so much of an issue,
349
00:15:51,453 --> 00:15:53,088
because it's very underground.
350
00:15:53,188 --> 00:15:54,989
Whereas in America,
it's normalized.
351
00:15:55,090 --> 00:15:57,292
You can walk into a
Walmart and buy a gun.
352
00:15:57,392 --> 00:15:58,927
Yes, and a pack of
Skittles and some ice cream.
353
00:15:59,027 --> 00:15:59,928
Yeah.
354
00:16:00,028 --> 00:16:01,029
And be right
back out the door.
355
00:16:01,129 --> 00:16:02,397
So where are you all from?
356
00:16:02,497 --> 00:16:03,832
South Africa.
357
00:16:03,932 --> 00:16:07,836
Why do you think
Americans love guns so much?
358
00:16:07,936 --> 00:16:11,272
Probably the Constitution
and just because they're crazy.
359
00:16:11,373 --> 00:16:12,540
Damn!
360
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,976
You just hit us
right out the gate.
361
00:16:15,076 --> 00:16:19,381
What is America's
reputation in the world?
362
00:16:19,481 --> 00:16:22,250
Probably mass shootings,
as bad as it sounds.
363
00:16:22,350 --> 00:16:23,918
That's all we're known for?
364
00:16:24,018 --> 00:16:25,186
No, not only that.
365
00:16:25,286 --> 00:16:26,254
That's the main thing.
366
00:16:26,354 --> 00:16:27,255
We got hot dogs.
367
00:16:27,355 --> 00:16:29,190
We got Steph Curry.
368
00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:32,761
Why do you think Americans
love guns so much?
369
00:16:32,861 --> 00:16:34,629
From an outsider's
perspective,
370
00:16:34,729 --> 00:16:39,100
I think they are also really
proud of their military
371
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,101
and everything.
372
00:16:40,201 --> 00:16:42,604
Well, we whooped
a lot of ass.
373
00:16:42,670 --> 00:16:44,005
Americans whooped a lot of ass.
374
00:16:44,105 --> 00:16:46,307
You think so at least, yeah.
375
00:16:46,408 --> 00:16:47,942
- Check the stats.
- Yeah, OK, yeah.
376
00:16:48,043 --> 00:16:48,977
Whooped the British ass.
377
00:16:49,077 --> 00:16:50,845
The Civil War, we
whooped our own ass.
378
00:16:50,945 --> 00:16:52,614
ROY WOOD, JR. (VOICEOVER):
So they didn't really know
379
00:16:52,714 --> 00:16:54,282
America's record on the court.
380
00:16:54,382 --> 00:16:56,918
And it turns out, guns aren't
just hurting our people,
381
00:16:57,018 --> 00:16:59,754
they're hurting our street
cred all over the world.
382
00:16:59,854 --> 00:17:03,625
I feel like the US was
kind of like this beacon
383
00:17:03,725 --> 00:17:04,959
that a lot of people followed.
384
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:06,661
If you look at it from
the gun perspective,
385
00:17:06,761 --> 00:17:08,663
some of the other topics
that are going on currently,
386
00:17:08,763 --> 00:17:10,131
as well, I think
it is affecting
387
00:17:10,231 --> 00:17:12,267
a little bit of its credibility
on the global stage.
388
00:17:12,367 --> 00:17:13,501
It's a problem
when guns have got
389
00:17:13,635 --> 00:17:16,371
more rights than women, so--
390
00:17:16,471 --> 00:17:20,341
within a country.
391
00:17:20,442 --> 00:17:21,910
Yeah, yeah, you right.
392
00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:25,046
Is it possible that
the rest of the world
393
00:17:25,146 --> 00:17:30,018
is just being too hard on
America and the gun violence?
394
00:17:30,118 --> 00:17:31,686
We've only been
around 200 years.
395
00:17:31,786 --> 00:17:32,787
Yeah.
396
00:17:32,887 --> 00:17:34,589
ROY WOOD, JR.: You got
some growing pains.
397
00:17:34,656 --> 00:17:37,092
Everybody know when
you start a country,
398
00:17:37,192 --> 00:17:39,060
it's going to be rough
for a little while
399
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,463
because you just whooped
somebody's ass, no disrespect.
400
00:17:41,596 --> 00:17:43,865
I have little faith in
the country at the moment.
401
00:17:43,965 --> 00:17:45,100
Like, I've never been.
402
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,068
I've always wanted to
visit it, but every time we
403
00:17:47,168 --> 00:17:49,437
talk about it, we're
like, actually, like--
404
00:17:49,604 --> 00:17:50,438
The attitudes.
405
00:17:50,605 --> 00:17:51,806
--I'm not sure.
406
00:17:51,906 --> 00:17:53,108
ROY WOOD, JR.
(VOICEOVER): So Americans
407
00:17:53,208 --> 00:17:55,610
might not be Airbnb-ing
their fully armed apartments
408
00:17:55,643 --> 00:17:58,980
to these people any time soon,
but that doesn't mean that all
409
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,182
of Europe is a gun-free zone.
410
00:18:01,282 --> 00:18:03,118
We can take you
Spitsbergen in Norway.
411
00:18:03,218 --> 00:18:06,054
That's the highest
density of guns
412
00:18:06,154 --> 00:18:08,523
in any society in the world.
413
00:18:08,623 --> 00:18:10,859
Everybody has a
gun in Spitsbergen.
414
00:18:10,959 --> 00:18:12,761
That's for protection
for polar bears.
415
00:18:12,861 --> 00:18:14,829
But they don't
shoot each other.
416
00:18:14,929 --> 00:18:15,830
It's just for
the polar bears.
417
00:18:15,930 --> 00:18:16,831
Right.
418
00:18:16,931 --> 00:18:17,832
Yeah, but you
have to wear a gun
419
00:18:17,932 --> 00:18:19,300
if you go outside the city.
420
00:18:19,401 --> 00:18:21,202
You're not allowed
to go without.
421
00:18:21,302 --> 00:18:22,570
Wait, it's a
law that you have
422
00:18:22,604 --> 00:18:23,571
to wear a gun in that part.
423
00:18:23,605 --> 00:18:24,572
Yeah.
424
00:18:24,672 --> 00:18:26,341
One in the party has
to wear a gun to go
425
00:18:26,441 --> 00:18:29,110
outside of the city limits.
426
00:18:29,210 --> 00:18:30,612
To keep you from getting
eaten by a polar bear.
427
00:18:30,712 --> 00:18:31,780
Right.
428
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,680
ROY WOOD, JR. (VOICEOVER):
Man, mandatory guns
429
00:18:32,781 --> 00:18:33,815
to fight polar bears?
430
00:18:33,915 --> 00:18:35,383
I'm canceling my trip to Oslo.
431
00:18:35,483 --> 00:18:36,951
Honduras, here I come!
432
00:18:37,052 --> 00:18:39,854
There's no polar
bears there, right?
433
00:18:39,954 --> 00:18:41,122
[cheering]
434
00:18:41,222 --> 00:18:42,390
Thank you, Roy.
435
00:18:42,490 --> 00:18:44,626
Don't go away, because
when we come back,
436
00:18:44,726 --> 00:18:48,596
Mike Epps will be joining me
on the show, so stick around.
437
00:18:48,663 --> 00:18:52,033
[cheering]
438
00:18:57,043 --> 00:19:03,483
[cheering]
439
00:19:04,884 --> 00:19:07,420
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
440
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,757
My guest tonight is
an actor and comedian
441
00:19:10,857 --> 00:19:14,260
who's up for an NAACP
Image Award for his role
442
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,629
in our sitcom, The Upshaws.
443
00:19:16,729 --> 00:19:20,934
Part 3 premieres globally
February 16 on Netflix.
444
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:22,502
Would you please
come down to the clinic
445
00:19:22,602 --> 00:19:24,471
today and get looked at.
446
00:19:24,571 --> 00:19:26,272
Well, you know I
ain't about doctors.
447
00:19:26,372 --> 00:19:27,540
They too nosy.
448
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,376
If my spine want to be crooked,
then that's my business.
449
00:19:30,477 --> 00:19:31,778
Black pain is no joke.
450
00:19:31,878 --> 00:19:34,214
That's why I wear a safety
support belt at work.
451
00:19:34,314 --> 00:19:36,783
Man, that's a girdle.
452
00:19:36,883 --> 00:19:38,384
Why do I even try?
453
00:19:38,485 --> 00:19:39,786
Let's go get those waffles.
454
00:19:39,886 --> 00:19:46,392
You are coming to
the doctor today.
455
00:19:47,694 --> 00:19:50,497
All that we've been through,
that's the fanfare we get.
456
00:19:50,597 --> 00:19:51,898
So you want to celebrate?
457
00:19:51,998 --> 00:19:52,899
With just you?
458
00:19:52,999 --> 00:19:54,000
Yeah.
459
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,704
Didn't they say waffles?
460
00:19:57,804 --> 00:19:59,939
Please, welcome Mike Epps.
461
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,144
[cheering]
462
00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:07,080
What's up, Wanda?
463
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:09,482
Good to see you.
464
00:20:09,649 --> 00:20:16,222
Looking good, girl.
465
00:20:16,322 --> 00:20:19,659
All right.
466
00:20:19,726 --> 00:20:21,060
What's up, Wanda?
467
00:20:21,161 --> 00:20:22,061
What's up, Mike?
468
00:20:22,162 --> 00:20:23,797
You come in here
smelling all good.
469
00:20:23,897 --> 00:20:27,801
Yeah, I stopped at CVS
and got me a little cologne.
470
00:20:27,901 --> 00:20:30,670
[laughter]
471
00:20:30,703 --> 00:20:33,706
So, you know, I was just in
Chattanooga over the weekend.
472
00:20:33,807 --> 00:20:35,008
Oh, yeah.
473
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:37,077
And I mentioned The Upshaws,
and the crowd went crazy.
474
00:20:37,177 --> 00:20:38,445
- They did?
- Yeah.
475
00:20:38,545 --> 00:20:39,446
Oh, man!
476
00:20:39,546 --> 00:20:40,814
I know because--
477
00:20:40,914 --> 00:20:41,981
In Chattanooga?
478
00:20:42,082 --> 00:20:43,183
WANDA SYKES: In Chattanooga.
I know.
479
00:20:43,283 --> 00:20:44,184
That's cool.
480
00:20:44,284 --> 00:20:45,552
You got to do your standup.
481
00:20:45,685 --> 00:20:46,853
I was doing standup, yeah.
482
00:20:46,953 --> 00:20:50,690
But the thing is, remember,
before, you told me, hey,
483
00:20:50,723 --> 00:20:52,158
you know, I mentioned
The Upshaws,
484
00:20:52,258 --> 00:20:53,159
and my crowd goes nuts.
485
00:20:53,259 --> 00:20:54,160
Right.
486
00:20:54,260 --> 00:20:55,428
And then I said,
OK, I'll do it.
487
00:20:55,528 --> 00:20:58,398
So the first season, I
mentioned it to my crowd.
488
00:20:58,498 --> 00:20:59,399
It was crickets.
489
00:20:59,499 --> 00:21:00,800
MIKE EPPS: [laughs]
490
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,202
Because there
was white people.
491
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:03,803
Because my audience had
a lot of white people
492
00:21:03,903 --> 00:21:05,071
in my audience.
493
00:21:05,171 --> 00:21:08,141
So they were like, I'm sorry.
494
00:21:08,241 --> 00:21:09,275
What is this thing?
495
00:21:09,375 --> 00:21:10,276
Yeah, yeah.
496
00:21:10,376 --> 00:21:11,478
But this time,
I mentioned it,
497
00:21:11,644 --> 00:21:13,246
and, like, half the
audience went nuts.
498
00:21:13,346 --> 00:21:14,647
So we're growing man.
499
00:21:14,748 --> 00:21:16,950
Yeah, it's starting
to-- yeah, yeah, yeah.
500
00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:18,218
[cheering]
501
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:19,652
That's really cool.
502
00:21:19,686 --> 00:21:22,088
Yeah, so why do you think why
do you think it's happening?
503
00:21:22,188 --> 00:21:23,189
Why do you think
that's happening?
504
00:21:23,289 --> 00:21:24,457
You know what, Wanda?
505
00:21:24,557 --> 00:21:26,459
Sometimes, when you
put a little hot sauce
506
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:31,131
on that fish or that
chicken, it gets seas--
507
00:21:31,231 --> 00:21:32,799
you got to put a
little season on it.
508
00:21:32,899 --> 00:21:33,800
You know what?
509
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:36,903
I think me and you
coming together,
510
00:21:37,003 --> 00:21:39,906
we both had two different
types of audience.
511
00:21:40,006 --> 00:21:41,107
WANDA SYKES: Right.
512
00:21:41,207 --> 00:21:45,245
You know, you do a more
classier style of comedy.
513
00:21:45,345 --> 00:21:47,814
[laughter]
514
00:21:47,914 --> 00:21:53,253
You know, I do more of a
bar and grill, you know?
515
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:57,223
But I really think
that sometimes when
516
00:21:57,323 --> 00:22:00,527
you come together, and you both
have two different audiences,
517
00:22:00,627 --> 00:22:03,830
you know, I'm introduced
to your audience,
518
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:05,532
and you're introduced
to my audience.
519
00:22:05,632 --> 00:22:08,301
So everybody's like--
because even for my audience,
520
00:22:08,401 --> 00:22:11,004
they was like, man, I never
would have thought to see you
521
00:22:11,104 --> 00:22:12,272
and Wanda together, you know?
522
00:22:12,372 --> 00:22:13,273
WANDA SYKES: Right.
523
00:22:13,373 --> 00:22:15,074
So it's just one
of them things.
524
00:22:15,175 --> 00:22:17,077
And it worked like peanut
butter and jelly, you know?
525
00:22:17,177 --> 00:22:18,078
Right.
526
00:22:18,178 --> 00:22:20,213
[applause]
527
00:22:20,313 --> 00:22:24,117
So by working together-- you
work with myself, Kim Fields--
528
00:22:24,217 --> 00:22:26,252
Kim Fields, the
great Kim Fields.
529
00:22:26,352 --> 00:22:27,987
Yes, yes.
530
00:22:28,088 --> 00:22:29,222
Gabrielle Dennis.
531
00:22:29,322 --> 00:22:30,290
Gabrielle Dennis.
532
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:31,491
Regina Hicks
running the show.
533
00:22:31,658 --> 00:22:32,492
Regina Hicks.
534
00:22:32,659 --> 00:22:33,693
So that's a lot
of women, right?
535
00:22:33,793 --> 00:22:34,828
That's right.
536
00:22:34,928 --> 00:22:37,664
And I noticed that you
touring with Cedric--
537
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:39,699
Cedric, DL Hughley.
538
00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:41,167
--DC Young Fly, DL Hughley.
539
00:22:41,267 --> 00:22:42,168
Yeah, yeah.
540
00:22:42,268 --> 00:22:43,670
I mean, that's
a lot of dudes.
541
00:22:43,703 --> 00:22:44,671
Yeah.
542
00:22:44,704 --> 00:22:45,905
It is. yes.
543
00:22:46,005 --> 00:22:47,574
I'm getting the
best of both worlds.
544
00:22:47,674 --> 00:22:49,075
OK.
545
00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:51,211
But when you're out on the
road with the brothers,
546
00:22:51,311 --> 00:22:52,812
are you talking shit about us?
547
00:22:52,912 --> 00:22:55,682
[laughter]
548
00:22:55,715 --> 00:22:57,317
Right?
549
00:22:57,417 --> 00:23:00,053
That's what I need to know.
550
00:23:00,153 --> 00:23:02,756
Did somebody tell you
that, Wanda, because I--
551
00:23:02,856 --> 00:23:03,757
Earthquake.
552
00:23:03,857 --> 00:23:05,959
Earthquake, yeah.
553
00:23:06,059 --> 00:23:07,060
Well, you know what?
554
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,763
And those guys are
friends of yours too.
555
00:23:09,863 --> 00:23:11,164
You know, Earthquake's from DC.
556
00:23:11,264 --> 00:23:14,434
So, you know, I think it's
a whole different rhythm.
557
00:23:14,534 --> 00:23:17,971
When I'm with the ladies, I
mean, the comedy is like this.
558
00:23:18,071 --> 00:23:19,072
It's popping.
559
00:23:19,172 --> 00:23:22,041
The guys-- we all
smoking cigars.
560
00:23:22,142 --> 00:23:26,246
Everybody moving
slow, looking around.
561
00:23:26,346 --> 00:23:27,847
So the women-- they
got a little bit more
562
00:23:27,947 --> 00:23:29,916
snap to the timing, you know?
563
00:23:30,016 --> 00:23:30,917
OK, all right.
564
00:23:31,017 --> 00:23:33,119
But I love working
with you guys.
565
00:23:33,219 --> 00:23:35,221
Working with Kim Fields
and working with Wanda,
566
00:23:35,321 --> 00:23:37,223
man, it's--
567
00:23:37,323 --> 00:23:38,992
I can't go wrong.
You know what I mean?
568
00:23:39,092 --> 00:23:39,993
I got--
569
00:23:40,093 --> 00:23:42,095
[cheering]
570
00:23:42,195 --> 00:23:46,032
Kim Fields is a legend
in the acting world.
571
00:23:46,132 --> 00:23:47,434
We know her from
back in the day.
572
00:23:47,534 --> 00:23:49,269
And Wanda-- come on, man.
573
00:23:49,369 --> 00:23:51,237
She's a legend in
the comedy game.
574
00:23:51,337 --> 00:23:52,238
I do all right.
575
00:23:52,338 --> 00:23:53,239
Please.
576
00:23:53,339 --> 00:23:54,374
[cheering]
577
00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:56,176
You know you kill the game.
578
00:23:56,276 --> 00:23:59,913
So you were recently
in Jackson, Mississippi.
579
00:24:00,013 --> 00:24:00,980
MIKE EPPS: Jackson,
Mississippi.
580
00:24:01,081 --> 00:24:02,682
And I thought this
was beautiful, man,
581
00:24:02,782 --> 00:24:05,251
because they're still
facing that getting
582
00:24:05,351 --> 00:24:06,886
clean water crisis.
583
00:24:06,986 --> 00:24:09,456
And while you were down
there, before your show,
584
00:24:09,622 --> 00:24:11,391
you were out in the
streets, passing out water
585
00:24:11,491 --> 00:24:12,826
to the residents down there.
586
00:24:12,926 --> 00:24:13,827
MIKE EPPS: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
587
00:24:13,927 --> 00:24:15,095
[applause]
588
00:24:15,195 --> 00:24:16,629
WANDA SYKES: Yeah.
589
00:24:16,663 --> 00:24:18,498
MIKE EPPS: Yeah,
that's pretty cool.
590
00:24:18,631 --> 00:24:21,801
OK, so why is that
important for you to get
591
00:24:21,901 --> 00:24:22,969
involved like that?
592
00:24:23,069 --> 00:24:24,304
You know what?
593
00:24:24,404 --> 00:24:28,475
I think that when the world
is going through something,
594
00:24:28,641 --> 00:24:32,378
and us as comics, we
go to these cities year
595
00:24:32,479 --> 00:24:34,881
after year, making
money in these cities.
596
00:24:34,981 --> 00:24:38,918
So I think when some of
these cities go in crisis,
597
00:24:39,018 --> 00:24:40,286
man, we'd been to these cities.
598
00:24:40,386 --> 00:24:42,155
Some of these cities feel
like they our hometowns--
599
00:24:42,255 --> 00:24:43,456
WANDA SYKES: Absolutely.
600
00:24:43,556 --> 00:24:44,991
--because we've been going
to them for so many years.
601
00:24:45,091 --> 00:24:48,061
So Jackson is one of
the places that I've
602
00:24:48,161 --> 00:24:49,329
always did comedy at.
603
00:24:49,429 --> 00:24:51,431
And they got beautiful
people down there, man.
604
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:52,532
They resilient.
605
00:24:52,665 --> 00:24:54,734
I said, man, I got a
show coming down there.
606
00:24:54,834 --> 00:24:56,870
I know they got
the water crisis.
607
00:24:56,970 --> 00:24:58,705
I got to give back
some kind of way.
608
00:24:58,805 --> 00:25:01,441
You know, I'm always
making money in their town.
609
00:25:01,608 --> 00:25:04,611
So I said, hey, let's
buy up a bunch of water.
610
00:25:04,677 --> 00:25:07,447
Shoutout to my man
100 Street Sam.
611
00:25:07,614 --> 00:25:09,682
100 Street Sam Production
was the promoters
612
00:25:09,783 --> 00:25:11,184
who thought about doing this.
613
00:25:11,284 --> 00:25:12,619
And they put it together, man.
614
00:25:12,685 --> 00:25:13,953
We started passing out water.
615
00:25:14,053 --> 00:25:16,156
Some of the old women that was
coming through there getting
616
00:25:16,256 --> 00:25:18,358
the water, I seen one
old lady, she came
617
00:25:18,458 --> 00:25:19,392
through there three times.
618
00:25:19,492 --> 00:25:21,094
She put the mask on.
619
00:25:21,194 --> 00:25:22,762
I said, no, you've
been over here.
620
00:25:22,862 --> 00:25:26,499
You came through three
times and got some water.
621
00:25:26,633 --> 00:25:27,534
I'm thirsty, baby.
622
00:25:27,634 --> 00:25:31,137
[laughter]
623
00:25:31,237 --> 00:25:36,276
So you got a new show on
HGTV where you and your wife
624
00:25:36,376 --> 00:25:39,379
are renovating homes
back in your hometown.
625
00:25:39,479 --> 00:25:41,247
It's called-- what's
the name of it?
626
00:25:41,347 --> 00:25:42,248
It's called--
627
00:25:42,348 --> 00:25:43,249
Buy the Block, right?
628
00:25:43,349 --> 00:25:46,186
Buy the-- I always
get it mixed up.
629
00:25:46,286 --> 00:25:48,521
And it's coming out
this summer, right?
630
00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:51,357
Yeah, it's called Blacks
Buying the Block Back.
631
00:25:51,458 --> 00:25:52,459
No, it ain't called that.
632
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:53,893
[laughter]
633
00:25:53,993 --> 00:25:54,894
Wait, wait.
634
00:25:54,994 --> 00:25:56,162
I'm going to get in trouble.
635
00:25:56,262 --> 00:25:57,330
Way to promote.
636
00:25:57,430 --> 00:26:00,834
[laughs]
637
00:26:00,934 --> 00:26:02,302
I got HGT--
- You know what?
638
00:26:02,402 --> 00:26:03,736
When you're out
promoting The Upshaws,
639
00:26:03,837 --> 00:26:06,072
I'm going to make you
wear the T-shirt just
640
00:26:06,172 --> 00:26:07,440
so you know the name of it.
641
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:08,608
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
642
00:26:08,641 --> 00:26:11,177
OK, so it's, I think,
Buy the Block Back.
643
00:26:11,277 --> 00:26:12,378
Yeah, Buy the Block Back.
644
00:26:12,479 --> 00:26:14,848
Yeah, and what it was was--
645
00:26:14,948 --> 00:26:17,517
[laughter]
646
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:19,018
I went back to my hometown.
647
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,087
I've been buying houses
in my hometown for about--
648
00:26:21,187 --> 00:26:22,088
Indianapolis.
649
00:26:22,188 --> 00:26:23,356
Yeah, in Indianapolis.
650
00:26:23,456 --> 00:26:26,292
Yeah, shoutout to my hometown,
Indianapolis, Indiana.
651
00:26:26,392 --> 00:26:30,630
And I've been buying homes in
that city for about 25 years.
652
00:26:30,697 --> 00:26:31,798
WANDA SYKES: Wow.
653
00:26:31,898 --> 00:26:36,236
And when I was young, me
and my mom and my brothers
654
00:26:36,336 --> 00:26:38,905
and sisters, we got kicked
out of a lot of houses,
655
00:26:39,005 --> 00:26:42,142
just getting evicted and stuff
like tearing the houses up.
656
00:26:42,242 --> 00:26:43,810
And I told my mother--
657
00:26:43,910 --> 00:26:47,080
I said, when I get famous,
Mama, if I ever get famous,
658
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:50,283
I'm going to go buy all them
houses we got kicked out of.
659
00:26:50,383 --> 00:26:51,718
So I went back and
bought all them
660
00:26:51,818 --> 00:26:53,319
houses, and we building them.
661
00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:54,320
WANDA SYKES: Yeah.
662
00:26:54,421 --> 00:26:55,321
Me and my wife.
663
00:26:55,422 --> 00:26:59,159
[applause]
664
00:26:59,259 --> 00:27:03,029
Shoutout to my beautiful
wife, Kyra Epps, who's really
665
00:27:03,129 --> 00:27:04,597
in charge of everything.
666
00:27:04,631 --> 00:27:07,801
She got with a
builder, and they put
667
00:27:07,901 --> 00:27:09,469
these houses together, man.
668
00:27:09,602 --> 00:27:10,937
I mean, these houses
are beautiful.
669
00:27:11,037 --> 00:27:14,174
They used to be $5 when
I was a kid, them houses.
670
00:27:14,274 --> 00:27:15,442
If I had thought
that, I'd have bought
671
00:27:15,608 --> 00:27:16,876
the whole neighborhood up.
WANDA SYKES: Right.
672
00:27:16,976 --> 00:27:17,877
You know?
673
00:27:17,977 --> 00:27:19,345
So we built the houses back up.
674
00:27:19,446 --> 00:27:21,381
And, hopefully,
we can make them
675
00:27:21,481 --> 00:27:23,416
affordable for some
families and make them
676
00:27:23,516 --> 00:27:24,417
affordable homes.
677
00:27:24,517 --> 00:27:25,418
WANDA SYKES:
That's great, Mike.
678
00:27:25,518 --> 00:27:26,419
That's beautiful.
679
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:27,954
That's beautiful, man.
680
00:27:28,054 --> 00:27:31,925
So I'm trying to
stay out of jail.
681
00:27:32,025 --> 00:27:33,159
You know what I mean?
682
00:27:33,259 --> 00:27:34,360
No, I'm just kidding.
683
00:27:34,461 --> 00:27:36,196
[laughs]
684
00:27:36,296 --> 00:27:37,397
Talking about
staying out of jail,
685
00:27:37,497 --> 00:27:39,065
you're doing such
good work, you know,
686
00:27:39,165 --> 00:27:40,400
especially in your
hometown and all.
687
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,303
Have you ever thought about
maybe getting into politics,
688
00:27:43,403 --> 00:27:44,437
maybe running for office?
689
00:27:44,537 --> 00:27:48,007
Oh, no, you don't
want me in there.
690
00:27:48,108 --> 00:27:49,008
You know what?
691
00:27:49,109 --> 00:27:51,778
If I got into some
politics, man,
692
00:27:51,878 --> 00:27:55,648
I would definitely
want to be on the end
693
00:27:55,749 --> 00:27:56,649
of helping children.
694
00:27:56,750 --> 00:27:58,852
If I could be a
politician and make
695
00:27:58,952 --> 00:28:02,155
the world better for kids,
I'd run for politics.
696
00:28:02,255 --> 00:28:05,692
Other than that, I don't
want to help no grown folks.
697
00:28:05,792 --> 00:28:07,360
[laughter]
698
00:28:07,460 --> 00:28:09,095
Well, even if you don't
want to, you're doing it.
699
00:28:09,195 --> 00:28:10,096
Yeah, I appreciate it.
700
00:28:10,196 --> 00:28:11,164
If you want to
run for office,
701
00:28:11,264 --> 00:28:12,432
I got a slogan for you.
702
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:13,433
What is it?
703
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,401
Mike Epps-- he's
got Netflix money,
704
00:28:15,502 --> 00:28:16,703
and he'll gut your kitchen.
705
00:28:16,803 --> 00:28:22,008
[laughs]
706
00:28:22,108 --> 00:28:23,176
Thanks, man.
