The Truth About Stephen Colbert...

I'm 64, but I believe we should have an age limit on these damn ancient politicians. Congress and the White House are NOT senior living facilities.

Paramount has a 'concept of a plan' to save money.

Whenever I’m feeling really fucked over by the world, completely powerless and useless, I think of the starfish parable. My professor told it to me during a course on global crises. If I remember right, it’s like, a big storm washed a bunch of starfish up on the beach one day, and a little girl came out and started tossing starfish back into the water one by one. Onlookers were amused because it was cute, but largely pointless. An old man comes up to her and says "hey kid, that’s sweet, but there’s too many starfish. You can’t really make a difference." The girl stares at him for a second before bending down, grabbing another starfish, and tossing it into the water. "Maybe you’re right" she said "but I made a difference for that one." The guy is inspired by this, and starts helping her pick up starfish and toss them into the sea. When the other beach goers see him join in, they start tossing starfish into the water as well. Before too long, all the starfish are rescued and back in the water. You can’t save everyone, or fix everything, and it’s not your job to. You just need to find the starfish you can reach, and maybe you’ll inspire someone along the way. Anyways it’s corny as hell, but it helps when the shit of the world is too much to bear.

18:07 "I'm not gonna hold your hand and tell you it's all gonna be rainbows and sunshine no matter what, but I am gonna hold your hand" I LOVE that. Thank you for sticking with the show for so long Phil! ❤

A friday show?! A blessed day today

I used to work at a seniors centre and it’s crazy to me that anyone above 70 controls nuclear codes when I would regularly have to remind people that age to go to the bathroom

Considering I've existed for over three decades, the fact that there are politicians STILL in office from when I was born, is actual insanity.

Honestly, I think the best case scenario is Colbert moves online and does a daily YouTube version of The Colbert Report

YES! PLEASE, we *need* term limits and age limits. You can’t run for president until you’re 35, and that’s fine, but if there’s a minimum age limit, there should be a maximum age limit
