Speaker 5 You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 3 From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is the Daily Show with your host, Jesse Lidig.
Speaker 3
Welcome to the Daisy Show. I'm Desi Leiden.
We've got so much to talk about tonight.
Speaker 6
Trump and China agreed a couples therapy. Your next roommate might be a robot, and the government shutdown is a month old.
But will America's body ever bounce back?
Speaker 6 First, let's kick things off with another installment of Trump Meets World.
Speaker 7 International humiliation, one after another.
Speaker 6 Trump has spent all week hopping his way through Asia, meeting leaders from Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. But today he went face to face with Asia's final boss, Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Speaker 6 And boy, did he not match Trump's energy.
Speaker 8 Mr. President, the President of the People's Republic of China, District of Republic of Legislative State.
Speaker 9 Good to meet you now, Rocky.
Speaker 10 Great Good to see you again.
Speaker 3 Good to see you again.
Speaker 10 Me too.
Speaker 7 And we're going to have a very successful meeting, I have no doubt.
Speaker 3 Well, how old can he old is he more?
Speaker 12 But he's a very tough negotiator. That's not good.
Speaker 6 Remember, call your doctor if your handshake lasts longer than four hours.
Speaker 6 But this is such a stark difference from how every other leader on this trip has interacted with Trump. Malaysia's throwing a concert for him, Korea's giving him crowns, everyone's kissing his ass.
Speaker 6
Then she comes in like his mom forced him to have a play date with a weird kid at school. But forget about how their greeting was.
The bigger question was what happened at that meeting.
Speaker 6 Trump said that China has been eating America's lunch for decades, and this was his chance to seal a major trade deal that finally makes things right.
Speaker 7 President Trump, back on Air Force One after his meeting with Chinese under Xi Jongping, where the leaders agreed to a tentative truce in the trade war, that brings tariffs and other measures back to where they were before recent escalations.
Speaker 13 He's basically reset the clock to January.
Speaker 6 Wait.
Speaker 3 January?
Speaker 6 As in earlier this year, January? You went all the way to Asia for that?
Speaker 6 Okay, I think we can agree that meeting was a waste of time.
Speaker 12 On the scale of from 0 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say the meeting was a 12.
Speaker 6 Spoken like a guy who does not know the order of numbers.
Speaker 6 Meanwhile, back at home on this night before Halloween, we're still dealing with the government shutdown.
Speaker 6 And it's been the same story for a month now: Democrats versus Republicans, and things are only getting more tense.
Speaker 14 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, acknowledging she lashed out on a Republican call.
Speaker 3 What?
Speaker 6 You're telling me Representative Cruella Deville lost her composure?
Speaker 6 What? Let me guess. She's saying the Democrats want to give health care to Joe Biden's Autopen.
Speaker 14 In a break with her party, she confronted Speaker Johnson saying, I have no respect for the House not being in session, and I demand to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican plan for health care is.
Speaker 14 Oh,
Speaker 6 I was not expecting that.
Speaker 6
I'd also love to hear the Republican plan for health care. All right, good for you, Marjorie.
I mean, you know what they say, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Speaker 6 Or as Marjorie Taylor Greene says, clocks cause autism.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I guess we can all enjoy that because she is literally wrong about everything else. Let's take, for example, this $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
Speaker 6 That's probably one of the grossest things I've ever seen.
Speaker 6 Yeah, that is a pretty gross thing.
Speaker 6 Wait,
Speaker 6 something weird is happening.
Speaker 6 Am I agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Speaker 6 That was weird. That's never happened before.
Speaker 6 But it's a testament to the incompetence of this administration that even his ideological allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene are starting to find common ground with his critics.
Speaker 6 Although, obviously, let's not forget who we're dealing with here. We're not going to agree on much more than that.
Speaker 17 Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now backing a move to force a floor vote requiring the Justice Department to release all Epstein documents.
Speaker 6 We should be passing the discharge petition that Thomas Massey put in to release the Epstein files. Those are the things that we should be doing.
Speaker 6 La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
Speaker 6 Stop the clip, stop the click. I do not want that, okay? I do not want to agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Speaker 6 What the f is going on? Is it cold in here? It just got cold in here.
Speaker 6
Okay, this is really starting to creep me out. What the hell am I saying? She's a Trump supporter.
She doesn't really want the Epstein files released.
Speaker 6 Wait, is that the Daily Show landline?
Speaker 6 No one's called that since the 90s when I was born.
Speaker 3 Don't Google it.
Speaker 6 Hello?
Speaker 3 Hello?
Speaker 6
Release the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files.
Release the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 Oh my God.
Speaker 6 Okay, breathe.
Speaker 3
Breathe, Desi. Breathe.
Get it together. Get it together.
Get it together.
Speaker 6
Okay, it's probably just the wrong number. So what? Marjorie Taylor Greene has said a few reasonable things.
That doesn't mean that we have the same feelings about the Republican Party.
Speaker 6
I'm beyond pissed off at my own party and the leadership in the House and the Senate that they are totally blowing it. Many times I hate my own party.
I'm mad at Republicans.
Speaker 6
They never do what they promise they're going to do. I want to hold Republicans accountable.
I want Republicans to do the job. I'm so angry at my own party.
Speaker 6
And I'm angry at all the men and leadership in the House and the Senate. And I'm like, you guys are weak and pathetic.
pathetic. Oh my God.
Speaker 3 Oh my God. Oh my God.
Speaker 6 MTG is roasting Republicans and her male coworkers.
Speaker 6 Where does she end and I begin?
Speaker 6
Did she also try to get a reservation by telling the hostess she's Dakota fanning? No, no, no. Don't let her get in your head.
Don't let her get in your head. Don't let her get in your head.
Speaker 19 I blame Republicans.
Speaker 6 They are literally slaves to all the big industries in Washington, the military, industrial companies.
Speaker 3 Oh my God. stop it.
Speaker 6 Stop the defense industries.
Speaker 3 Stop it!
Speaker 6 Does anyone else see what's happening here?
Speaker 7 President Trump, as you know, recently called at least two senior Republicans to ask what's going on with Marjorie.
Speaker 6 Exactly! What is going on with Marjorie? I agree with Donald Trump.
Speaker 19 Oh my God.
Speaker 3 I agree with Donald Trump.
Speaker 6
Me, come on, Desi. Come on.
Okay, you are the host of the show. You are in charge.
You are in control.
Speaker 6
You can do another story. Let's do another story.
We'll do another story. How about the Louvre heist? That's a fun, fun story.
Speaker 6 Let's go to Paris with our very own Troy Iwada.
Speaker 6 Troy, sweet, sweet Troy, it is so good to see you.
Speaker 10 Yeah,
Speaker 10 it's good to see you too, Desi.
Speaker 21 Is everything okay?
Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 6
No, I don't know. I have no idea.
It is now. You know what? Just
Speaker 6 tell me something about the jewelry heist.
Speaker 6 Anything about it at all?
Speaker 21 Well, they've now arrested seven of the suspects. There's more on the loose, but police are confident they'll catch them soon.
Speaker 17 You know, we're just lucky that none of the major artworks were stolen, you know, like the Mona Lisa or the Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 18 Greene.
Speaker 6 Wait, what?
Speaker 6 What? Did you say Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Speaker 22 Yeah, of course, Desi.
Speaker 17 Everyone knows Marjorie Taylor Greene is a national treasure.
Speaker 17 It's always been like that.
Speaker 6 Oh, God. Oh, my God.
Speaker 3 Troy, no, it's happening to you, too.
Speaker 6 Just because she's breaking with her party on a few things, that doesn't mean that she's the new face of the resistance.
Speaker 21 Come on now, Desi.
Speaker 6 Why are you being such a silly Jewish space laser?
Speaker 6
No, Joyce, stop it. Stop.
Just cut the feed. Cut the feed.
Speaker 6 Is this it?
Speaker 6 Am I trapped in this hell forever agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Green for all of eternity? I saw average Americans on January 6th.
Speaker 6 I still to this day say it was a Fed surrection and Antifa participated.
Speaker 6 Oh, thank God.
Speaker 3 Oh, that was so f ⁇ ing bonkers.
Speaker 6 I have never been so happy to say I disagree with Marjorie Taylor Greene again.
Speaker 6
It was all just a terrible, spooky nightmare that was perfectly timed with our Halloween episode. A A day early because we don't do shows on Fridays.
But now it is all over.
Speaker 6 Everything is going to be A-OK.

Speaker 23 Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 6 When it comes to the news, some stories are serious, some stories are inspiring, and some stories are just stupid. And for those, we turn to Ronnie Chang in a segment we call Everything is Stupid.
Speaker 13 For years, humans have dreamed of a robot butler, someone to do unpleasant chores like folding laundry, doing the dishes, and stealing your neighbor's Amazon deliveries.
Speaker 25 Hey, order some AirPods already, Craig. Enough with the insulin.
Speaker 26 But now our dreams have finally come true.
Speaker 15 Move over Rosie.
Speaker 24 There's a new robot made in town. Meet Neo.
Speaker 6 The bot known as the Neo is designed to help you with housework and other tasks. The cost? $20,000.
Speaker 22 Whoa, who the f ⁇ has $20,000 just lying around?
Speaker 24 And what is that address?
Speaker 15 And when do they usually leave the house?
Speaker 24 For that kind of money, this robot better have incredible features.
Speaker 6 The humanoid is available in three colors, cream, silver, and black.
Speaker 16 Each Neo comes with a machine washable knit suit, a head, and shoes that you can customize to fit your style.
Speaker 26 Wow, the future is here.
Speaker 26 I can finally buy Crocs for my robot.
Speaker 25 Then we can hang out with other people who are contemplating suicide.
Speaker 3 Crocs.
Speaker 25 Kill yourself in comfort.
Speaker 25 This thing has all the features you want in a good robot.
Speaker 13 A machine washable suit, a head, and most importantly, zero holes to stick your dick into.
Speaker 24 Sorry, pubs, you are not going to f ⁇ this robot.
Speaker 22 That's what your Roomba is for.
Speaker 24 On the plus side, at least Neo comes in three different colors.
Speaker 22 Do you want your own robot slave and also racists?
Speaker 3 Well,
Speaker 26 then try out black Neo.
Speaker 13 Neo, your new favorite N-word.
Speaker 15 So, okay, you launched an awkward robot with crocs and zero holes.
Speaker 25 This thing is supposed to be the future.
Speaker 24 Come on, show me what kind of stuff it can do.
Speaker 16 Neo's hardware comes packed with features like human-level dexterity so that it can handle any of your chores reliably.
Speaker 13 Hey, Neo, can you take this cup to the sink for me?
Speaker 15 Finally, a robot for dirt bags.
Speaker 26 Hey, hey, Neo, can you take this cup and can you pay my child support?
Speaker 15 Also, can we talk about this robot's butt?
Speaker 25 Like, why is it so sharp?
Speaker 25 Are we supposed to use his ass to slice pastrami? How does something that doesn't eat look like it's constantly holding in a poop?
Speaker 26 But okay, machete buns, let's see all the time you can save me.
Speaker 8 Can I get a water?
Speaker 6
All in, it took Neo a little over a minute to fetch a water from the fridge 10 feet away. Although Neo is capable of lifting up to 150 pounds, it's not as superhuman as you'd think.
Crush it.
Speaker 6 It's a walnut.
Speaker 15 Jesus, it's like paying to live with a sick old man.
Speaker 18 I mean, if I pay extra, do I get the emptiest bedpan?
Speaker 26 Hey, Jura, get back to bed.
Speaker 13 The doctor said, no cracking walnuts.
Speaker 26 Also, we already have the technology to crack a nut.
Speaker 13 They wrote a big shitty ballet about it.
Speaker 13 I sleep through it every Christmas.
Speaker 15 But okay, so food prep isn't your thing.
Speaker 22 What about cleanup?
Speaker 6
Next challenge. Load three items in the dishwasher.
You got this, Neo. You got it.
Speaker 6 And that took five minutes.
Speaker 15 Look, to be fair, we've all been this drunk before, all right?
Speaker 13 Go to big Neo, drink some Gatorade first, and don't text your ex.
Speaker 13 But honestly, Neo's complete inability to be helpful around the house isn't even the stupidest thing about it.
Speaker 16 When you get your Neo in 2026, it will do most of the things in your home autonomously.
Speaker 6 But right now, everything I saw Neo do was guided by a skilled pilot.
Speaker 6 And who is the voice I'm hearing right now of Neo?
Speaker 11 I am a remote operator in a different room in the building.
Speaker 26 Okay, so after all that, the robot of the future is just a creepy guy who's watching you do everything?
Speaker 25 Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather just have a perverted human butler, right?
Speaker 11 At least while his dick was was out, he'd be able to load the dishwasher.
Speaker 25 Also, hey, is this mostly useless robot even safe to have in my house?
Speaker 6 What if Neo decides to take a very heavy piece of wood like the top of a table and drop it on me when I'm sleeping?
Speaker 9 Neo will not be able to, or allowed to. Physically, can the robot do that? Yes.
Speaker 9 Physically, can a lot of products in your home do something dangerous if they decided to? Yes.
Speaker 18 No!
Speaker 24 No, they can't.
Speaker 24 My toaster can't kill me while I'm sleeping.
Speaker 25 Because my toaster's a coward.
Speaker 26 And fine, so Neil won't kill me, but what about that creepy guy in the next room controlling him?
Speaker 26 Because that guy clearly has nothing to live for.
Speaker 22 So to summarize, we all expected a robot that would make our lives easier, but instead we got this thing that can't crack a walnut, loads the dishwasher like a drunk frat guy, and has a weird, weird ass that again you cannot stick your penis into.
Speaker 26 Also, it's not a robot, it's some guy.
Speaker 25 So, until these issues are fixed, I guess I'll have to just keep cracking my own walnuts, right?
Speaker 13 Okay, shit. You know what?
Speaker 11 This is actually really hot. All right, fine.
Speaker 18 I apologize to the stupid drunk robot. Desi, back to you.

Speaker 11 Welcome back to The Daily Show.
Speaker 6 My guest tonight is an actor you know from Succession who also stars in the hit Netflix series, Nobody Wants This. Please welcome Justine Lou.
Speaker 6
Oh my goodness. It is so much fun having you here.
Now, everyone knows and loves you from Succession, Marvelous Mrs. Maisil, Mr.
Mercedes, and now nobody wants this.
Speaker 6 And I will tell you, it doesn't matter what you're in, you steal every single scene.
Speaker 3 Oh, thank you.
Speaker 6
Yeah, you do. It's true.
And I just want to say, don't try that shit around here.
Speaker 3 All right.
Speaker 6
All right. Understood.
Know your place.
Speaker 3 I understand.
Speaker 3 I know my place. Okay, know your place.
Speaker 6 No, you are so good in this show.
Speaker 6 You absolutely, it's like every time you're on screen, you're pure magic and so many laughs.
Speaker 6
And I binged season two in about two days. Amazing.
Probably like everyone else. Have you guys seen it? Have you watched?
Speaker 6 It's fun.
Speaker 19 It goes down easy. It goes down easy.
Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 It's fun watching women be complex and funny and interesting.
Speaker 6 And I think my favorite part about season two is the first season there was this wonderful like, will they, won't they, between Kristen and Adams characters. But this is really season two opens up.
Speaker 6 It's like, it's about a love story between two sisters.
Speaker 19 Yeah. I mean, that was always kind of how I took it, just because you kind of have to understand what Morgan's intentions are when she's acting so
Speaker 19 just insane and perfect and rude and bratty and perfect. Yeah.
Speaker 19 So even first season, I was kind of like, what is this story? What is she doing here? And the way that I kind of
Speaker 19 my north star was being
Speaker 19 that she's heartbroken that her sister is moving into this new romantic relationship and kind of departing their codependent love affair of a kind.
Speaker 19 It's, you know, a platonic love affair, but they are, you know, soulmates in a sense. So yeah, this season kind of took that and ran with it.
Speaker 6 That's so, it's so relatable because so many sisters
Speaker 6 experience that and even close friendships.
Speaker 19 Yeah, I mean, I spent all of my 20s like sharing my bed with my girlfriends. And even now, like every time I come out here alone, careful.
Speaker 3 Careful.
Speaker 3 Don't read the comments on the YouTube clip of this video. Oh my god.
Speaker 19 No, but you know, you like, we're just, we just like, it's like intimacy is so much a part of female friendship. And yeah, I,
Speaker 19 even now when I come out here, I'll like be like, hey girls, can you come over and hang? Like, it's, it's, it's just like one of the best parts of life. So I totally get the feeling of, you know,
Speaker 19 your friends departing a version of your relationship to be with their romantic partners or when they have a baby and you kind of have to like find a new iteration of what the friendship is and that comes with celebration and excitement for your friends and also a little bit of heartache.
Speaker 19 And I think Morgan's going through a bit of an identity crisis around it.
Speaker 6 Yeah, definitely. And
Speaker 6
the scenes between you and Kristen are so electric. Your chemistry is so good with one another.
I mean, and the way that your characters love, you love hard and you fight hard.
Speaker 6 Have you had to have some real boundary talks with each other before some of those scenes? Because it gets intense.
Speaker 19 Unfortunately, there's no boundaries. And some of the stuff that I like, there's like times where I literally in the show go like, ow, like, don't touch me like that.
Speaker 3 And it's not written into the script. It's just that she like pulls my finger a little bit too hard.
Speaker 19 And me as a character is just like, ow, like, ew, you, you literally, like, broke my finger.
Speaker 6 That wasn't written in the script. No, that is my favorite winner.
Speaker 19
Thank you. That's very sweet.
I literally, by the end of the season, we were like, okay, I think we've worn out that whole bit. Like,
Speaker 3 I did it like five times, and I was like, they're like, okay,
Speaker 6 it's so funny because everyone knows that person who's so dramatic.
Speaker 3 Ow, you hurt me. Totally.
Speaker 19 I mean, for me, there's a dynamic, the dynamic is a bit childish, and I feel like I've seen this dynamic between friends, like kids before, you know, like the whole like, Charlie, bit my finger.
Speaker 19 And I got, I got, I honestly kept on thinking back to that, like that kind of like bratty play.
Speaker 19 And they have a little bit, you know, like when you go back and hang out with your family, there's some regression that happens.
Speaker 19 And I feel like these girls kind of regress to like the teenage or maybe even elementary school versions of themselves.
Speaker 6 Yeah, kids act that way and presidents act that way, apparently.
Speaker 6 Totally. The bruises on his hands being so dramatic.
Speaker 6 The chemistry between you and Timothy Simons is so great as well. You guys have, so your character Morgan and his character Sasha have this sort of
Speaker 6 flirtation. It's very much in the gray area.
Speaker 19 Strange, drawn to each other and not really sure what it is.
Speaker 6 Yeah. Nothing's quite happening, but did you, how much of that did you know going in and how much did you sort of like discover as it was happening we knew very little about what was going on um
Speaker 3 um yeah
Speaker 19 yeah yeah it was fun it was fun and it was also like confusing you know you always want to know like what your function and is in the scene or like what the tracks are are we going to like end up making out in the next episode and that was like a real prospect in the first season like trying like it was on the table that this would turn into an affair and like it kind of got like passed back and forth and talked through and hashed out and um so there were times where it was very weird and kind of even to be completely honest like frustrating in moments where you're like what is happening and then I saw it and I was like this is really interesting what's happening here like not knowing exactly what that dynamic is and that these two people just find each other magnetic and they're drawn to each other and they're kind of unclear about what that energy is and the boundaries that come with relationships.
Speaker 19 I just thought it was really interesting. And then this season, I kind of like that it evolved into something that was more platonic and they kind of lean on each other as friends in a real way.
Speaker 3 Yeah, you do.
Speaker 6
Yeah. It worked.
The ambiguity totally worked
Speaker 6 from my perspective anyway.
Speaker 3 Erin was on to something.
Speaker 19
She was like, I don't know. Maybe they're going to make out next episode.
And I was like...
Speaker 19 But it really lends itself to being an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 6
Yeah. And your character also had quite the love story.
You had a love interest. I don't want to give anything away, but your character was definitely treated like a queen.
Speaker 6 You got to wear these amazing outfits and this elegant atmosphere. Meanwhile, you have a six-month-old at home,
Speaker 6 probably not getting a ton of sleep. Was that just the best to be able to walk into that fantasy?
Speaker 19
You know, my husband does dote on me quite a bit. He's kind of amazing.
He's an A-plus husband. So like, you know, there's little things that he does all the time.
Speaker 19 Like, you know, like when I give the baby a bath, he'll like put out candles and like give me a glass of water with electrolytes in it. And come on, electrolytes?
Speaker 6 Yeah.
Speaker 3
Your husband does. Electrolytes keeps me hydrated.
Oh, I know.
Speaker 19 But I will say there was.
Speaker 6 Which camera?
Speaker 3 The most romantic of all ingredients. The electrolytes.
Speaker 3 Honey.
Speaker 3 But
Speaker 19
yeah, he's very sweet. But it was nice.
I will say. Like, I just, at home, I do not, I do not put a lick of effort into
Speaker 19 wearing things.
Speaker 19 And being put in hair and makeup and beautiful clothes. It really does change the way that you feel about yourself.
Speaker 19 So there was something nice to being like a little bit like, oh, I'm not that girl anymore.
Speaker 6 Play pretend over here.
Speaker 6 Yeah, I live in that world for a little bit.
Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 Here we are.
Speaker 6 And here we are.
Speaker 6 You wrote this beautiful piece in Porter magazine about, it was a love letter to your friends. And I want, it was
Speaker 6 what my girlfriends taught me about love and strength. And it was so beautifully written.
Speaker 6
Love letter to your girlfriends. What, you know, for me reading it, it was so nice.
It just felt like a warm hug with in this world how women are so often pitted against one another.
Speaker 6 To read that felt so like honest and wonderful. What did you hope that other women and other men took away from that?
Speaker 3 Ooh.
Speaker 19 I mean, I just wanted to explore what that dynamic is.
Speaker 19 And I guess it was like a moment for me to just encourage people to turn towards the people that they love and feel, you know, the gratitude or have a moment of realization for how important connection is.
Speaker 19 I just feel like we're in singularly dark times. And
Speaker 19 what I said in the thing is that my friends, they feel like they're my...
Speaker 19 They're these sacred relics that I've gathered throughout my life and that they're my secret weapons.
Speaker 19 Like truly, I keep them in my back pocket at all times and they're always there as kind of like these anchors in all different iterations of life and I don't know.
Speaker 19 I guess it's it applies most to most connection, any connection, any human connection that you have.
Speaker 19 Like I just think that it's the thing that gets us through these times is just being seeing each other and being there for each other and hearing each other and and
Speaker 19
and connecting. And yeah, I just I owe my girlfriends so much.
So for me, it was just a love letter to them.
Speaker 6
Oh, so beautiful. And this is what we need.
we need more of this
Speaker 19 we need some warmth i mean i think that is why the show has such an audience and i i just think that you know this show i'm you're always talking about you know even when we met before this like
Speaker 19 it's just a tough moment and it's can be really depressing and so i feel like the only thing to do is just turn towards each other um so that was kind of just a little slice of that Well, it felt that way.
Speaker 6 And that is, we need, we need more of that. So keep it coming.
Speaker 6
Okay, one thing before I let you go, go. I hear that there's buzz about a season three happening.
You don't have to reveal to the audience, but you could just whisper in my ear.
Speaker 6 Do you think that Morgan and Sasha will get together in season three?
Speaker 6
You want me to whisper? Just whisper. Don't tell them.
Just tell me.
Speaker 6 Season two of Nobody Wants This is now streaming on Netflix. Justine Loop, everybody!
Speaker 6 We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right after
Speaker 6 them. Thank you!
Speaker 34 Okay, Chad, today you're gonna drive the all-electric Toyota BZ.
Speaker 27
But my electric vehicle phobia. I'm not ready, Dr.
Ross.
Speaker 34 I believe in you.

Hello, I'm Diane Morgan. If you know who I am, you know who I am.
If you don't, who cares?
Speaker 35 I'm here to explain Italian time, a holiday phenomenon where Italians throw away their clocks and gather for eternity with San Pellegrino.
Speaker 35 I've been at this party so long that I've eaten five courses, hugged someone's grandma twice, and been offered a job in the family restaurant.
Speaker 35 So, this holiday season, make sure to bring enough San Pellegrino to last you through the meal, the aftermeal, and the entire goodbye ritual. San Pellegrino, holiday on Italian time.
