Unknown 0:01
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Zach DiLanzo 0:18
All right. Hello and welcome to the pre-cap where we sit down with this week's Daily Show host to preview what's coming up and recap some of the news we might have missed. I'm Zach Delanzo, a writer here at the show, and I'm joined by Michael Kosta. I forgot your name for a second. Michael Kosta, this week's Daily Show host.
Michael Kosta 0:37
It's exciting, and I'm here with my co-host. Co-host for the week. Walter.
Zach DiLanzo 0:43
Walter, your dog Walter.
Michael Kosta 0:44
But he, the subway ride in stressed him out, so he's asleep.
Zach DiLanzo 0:49
Yeah, he's chilling. He's chilling. He's one of our beloved office dogs.
Michael Kosta 0:54
He is.
Zach DiLanzo 0:55
And he's at times a grump. Oh, 100%. But when he does show you affection, that sort of, it feels so special.
Yeah.
Michael Kosta 1:04
You know, I grew up with Golden Retrievers, and I always thought they were the best breed, but they're really sluts. You know what I mean? They'll let anybody pet them. They'll let anybody pet them. Walter, you got to earn it.
Zach DiLanzo 1:16
Yeah.
Michael Kosta 1:17
And even if you've earned it, he sometimes is mean. You got to wine and dine them. You got to wine and dine them. We had some family friends staying with us, and they made a lot of leeway with Walter, and he was laying on their laps and letting them pet. The next morning it was like reset. He, he, he, he bit one of them and they're like, but we, we hung out yesterday.
Zach DiLanzo 1:39
It doesn't mean anything.
Michael Kosta 1:39
It doesn't mean anything. No. It's like the daily show every day.
Zach DiLanzo 1:43
You start as a new day, new day. And I truly can't remember what we did the previous day. Correct. It doesn't matter.
Michael Kosta 1:48
Um, which is actually freeing.
Zach DiLanzo 1:50
It is.
Michael Kosta 1:51
Hey, feel free to write a terrible joke. Hey, feel free to perform a terrible joke. Tomorrow you'll be doing this shit again anyways.
Zach DiLanzo 1:58
And I feel so strongly when I do write a joke that this is a good joke.

What happened with Trump's Nobel Peace Prize campaign?

Zach DiLanzo 2:01
And then I'll sometimes look at previous jokes and I'll be like, oh man, I understand why you didn't go with that one because it wasn't very good. Right now we're in a working dark week, which is like a rare thing we do occasionally a few times a year where we're coming into the office, but we're not doing shows. We're just prepping stuff. But because of that, we're also missing a lot of fun news that we'd otherwise certainly cover on the show. That's true.
Michael Kosta 2:27
Is there anything... But sometimes these dark weeks, you're like, God, I wish the show was on. No, totally. You know, like when that... I think it was the strike when that submarine exploded. Oh, yeah. And I was like, this isn't funny that people are dead, but come on. There's comedy material. There's stuff here. Yeah, there's material. And this week... I'm kind of like, okay, it's a news week. I'm not like itching that the show is on.
Zach DiLanzo 2:52
Right, there hasn't been the one very special thing that everybody's talking about that.
Michael Kosta 2:56
Or it's a very serious thing that you're like, hey, maybe it's better to let the serious people cover this now.
Zach DiLanzo 3:04
I will say there's been some, well, first of all, there's still a government shutdown, which is sort of like an ongoing story that you can kind of,
Michael Kosta 3:14
talk about but it's just people arguing um about whose fault it is and it's not really a sexy story it's not you know and the other thing i've noticed with this government shutdown even the newscasters are like we've done this before yeah you know and they put up a graphic of all the other times with clinton and obama and bush so it is kind of hard to mind this
Zach DiLanzo 3:41
Yeah, what do you say about like, well, it's day 16 now.
Michael Kosta 3:45
I mean, I found the Kristi Noem video, the airport video. Interesting. I don't know if you saw that. She basically said, we're trying to keep you safe. But the Democrats have shut the government down and they wanted to air that at all the airports. And some airports have said, no, we're not doing that. So that's kind of an interesting new government shutdown story.
Zach DiLanzo 4:11
Yeah. They have access to all of the websites. So I know that if you go to the HUD website, they're like, we'd love to be open right now. We know how much you guys love the HUD website, but we are... And but they just have some message up that's blaming Democrats.
