Hello and welcome to the Pre-Cap, a Daily Show podcast where we sit down with this week's host to preview what's coming up and recap some of the latest news. I'm Zach DeLanzo. I'm Zach DeLanzo.
That's what you stumble over?
Yeah, well, yeah. I'm playing the character of Zach DeLanzo.
Right, yep.
And I'm a writer at the show and I'm joined by Jordan Klepper, if you couldn't recognize his voice, chiming in there.
Yeah, the dulcet tones.
Yeah, how's it going, Klepper?
I'm doing good. I'm excited about the big week.
Yeah. You had a big week. You were at the Melania premiere in D.C. at the Trump Kennedy Center, as it goes by now.
It feels weird to say it, right? It's funny. If you go there, it says Donald Trump, John F. Kennedy Center on the outside. Yeah. Which, it's not until you gaze on that giant, beautiful marble wall to see just how ridiculous it is to have two people's names on top of the center. Yeah, yeah. And then you look at all of the other signage around that area. Like there's vans that take people to and from.
What did Jordan Klepper experience at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?
None of them have the Trump on it. It's so Trumpian in nature that it's like, just slap that name up there. It's like, do we need to fix all the other things? Like, ah, it doesn't matter. As long as I get my picture of this thing, it's fine.
Well, that was with them wanting to rename the Department of Defense, the Department of War. It actually requires billions of dollars to print new business cards or whatever. I mean, I don't know if the Department of War has business cards, but there's so much signage.
You've been bombed by the Department of War.
Call us if you have any issues. Yeah, let us know how it's going. We would love to grab a cup of coffee.
Yeah, any feedback is great. We'll be around. We'd love to just grab some. Just let's get a chinwag after you guys rebuild this area here.
I remember when I first started working here, it was like you got a box of business cards, and you felt very cool. And at the time, business cards were still a thing. But then I think I still have ones in my wallet that say, like, Zach Glenn's a production assistant from when I first started, so.
I still have, I think I still have the box that I got as well. Yeah. Which was, it was like, you get like a thousand of those cards. I earnestly handed out maybe four. I think for fun handed out maybe seven. Yeah. And then I still have a box of like 900 some odd. Right, yeah, yeah. That I'm like, it feels weird to throw these away.
Yeah, yeah. Use them as kindling down the road or something. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, but yeah. But yeah, it's, at least they like... It's centered, you know what I mean? They took the time to like, it's not like when you're like a kid and like doing bubble letters and you run out of space and have to squeeze in a few. They at least, you know, did a nice job getting the font to match.
The craftsmanship is nice as far as it goes. And it is true. I think of the hurricane Sharpie drawing. Right, right, yeah. I mean, all of these things. In retrospect, what beautiful comedic moments that it really was. It was like, you could send this out to Kinko's. You are the president of the United States.
You could have Kinko's or somebody who works in some sort of... Last minute Sharpie.
Last minute Sharpie. And this one, yes, they hired somebody who the actual lettering looks lovely. It's the reading of the lettering. The jar, the substance of it. When you put these letters together and read it, it is jarring to hear.
And as we pointed out on the show, it is like a living memorial to a man. So it is sort of like throwing your name on someone's gravestone in some regard to be like, hey, I'm also a guy that you can remember.
Zach, do not give this man ideas. Are you kidding? Donald Trump hears this. He sees something like, give me an Uber to Arlington. With a chisel. Donald Trump presents. Donald Trump presents the heroes of World War II.
