Description

Josh Johnson and Daily Show writer Randall Otis talk about Trump's algae-infested reflecting pool as a reflection of America's decline, their shared anxiety over the outcome of the Iran War, and the terminal awkwardness of JD Vance. Plus, Josh laments his lack of a basic sense of direction, and Randall confesses to being a bit clueless when it comes to colors. #DailyShow #JoshJohnson #Podcast #EarsEdition Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Ok, a Josh week, I am so ready for this. In the Trump era there's always going to be something ridiculous to make fun of but the paramilitaries arresting people around the reflecting pool is just so perfect. And Josh is going to have brilliant takes.

Painter here. Prep involves etching the surface to provide "key" for the paint, plus curing time.

Back in the day, folks could splash around in the reflecting pool like it was a public jacuzzi. But under TACO, even Olympians get arrested for dipping a toe—guess he thought the pool was his private mirror, and nobody’s allowed to smudge the reflection of his hair!

25:26 hitting on a very serious part of his abuse patterns. Anyone in a certain type of abusive relationship has been desensitized by an abuser bit by bit until what’s obscene seems and most importantly feels ”normal”
