You're listening to Comedy Central. Hi,
0:05
kids, it's me Trevor Noah.
0:08
Listen. I know it's really hard during
0:10
this pandemic to learn anything from
0:12
a TV or a computer. Heck, it's
0:15
hard for adults. A lot of them try
0:17
to learn things online and the next thing you
0:19
know, they're storming the capital. But
0:22
I wanted to help, so I asked the team
0:24
here at the Daily Show to help put
0:26
together a lesson plan for you guys,
0:28
And not just any lesson, but the lessons
0:31
you won't learn in school, but that you
0:33
need to know before life teaches them
0:35
to the hard way. My friends at the show
0:37
agreed to help because they're all under
0:39
contract. So without further ado,
0:42
please enjoy the Daily Shows special
0:44
presentation Remotely Educational.
1:04
Oh hey, kids, welcome to geography
1:07
class. What's the capital of Mozambique.
1:09
I don't know, Google that ship. I
1:11
am going to teach you geography you won't
1:13
learn in school, but need to know. Like
1:16
today's lesson, who hates
1:18
Who? That's something you gotta
1:20
know. If your cab driver serving and
1:22
you can't be talking about that trip you took the Croatia,
1:25
you're gonna get your ass thrown out on the street. So
1:27
I'm gonna tell you who hates who around the globe. But
1:29
I'm not gonna get into why, because I know
1:31
I'll get one little thing wrong and then both of them
1:33
gonna be mad at me, and I don't want Kurtis standing
1:35
my mentions. Yeah,
1:38
they'll go already. Okay,
1:40
let's begin. Chinese and Japanese
1:42
hate each other. Indians and Pakistani's
1:45
can't stand each other. Vietnamese and
1:47
Cambodians do not want to be in
1:49
the same room at all. Turks and Armenians
1:52
hate each other. Turks and Greeks also
1:54
hate each other. Turks and Curves they
1:56
hate each other too. Honestly, Turkey
1:58
is the nini leaks of Europe. They always
2:01
at the center of some ship. You got the Russians
2:03
and the Czechenians. They always arguing. Hungarians
2:06
and Roma dinc and the newer the
2:08
Irish and the British Scots in the
2:11
British English and the Bridge. Honestly,
2:13
that whole island hate itself. Ghana
2:16
and Nigeria. Now, from what I understand
2:18
about this beast, this one is mostly
2:20
about rice. So here's the thing. Nigerians
2:23
think. Ghanian rice tastes like concrete, and Ghanians
2:26
think Nigerian rice is a bigger
2:28
international crime than their email
2:30
scams. Fortunately, centuries
2:32
of colonialism have made both countries too
2:35
poor to afford the nuke, so don't
2:37
really matter that much. Iranians
2:39
and the Saudis, Saudi's and the Hooties Saudi's
2:42
and the Quataris, Saudi's and the Israelis,
2:44
although now they're becoming friends
2:46
because they both hate the Iranians more. In
2:48
a way, Iran is really bringing
2:50
the Middle East together. They got the Sudan
2:53
and South Sudan, North Korea and South
2:55
Korea. A matter of fact, if there's two countries
2:57
with the same name, they definitely
3:00
hate each other. And then of course
3:03
you've got the Israelis and the Palestinians.
3:07
I said, I'm not getting into it. God damn.
3:11
All right, let's wrap this up last beef America
3:14
and everybody else. Yeah,
3:17
that's right, I'm gonna give it to you straight kids.
3:20
Every other country hates us. They all
3:22
hate us. Some of them we invaded, some
3:24
of them, We overthrew most of them. We bomb
3:26
some of them. We saved from the Nazis. So I
3:29
don't know why the ain't mad, but it
3:31
is what it is. The game is the game. But that
3:33
leads me to my tip of the day. Kids, if
3:35
you ever travel abroad, do
3:38
what I do. Pretend your Canadian
3:41
Hell yeah, you put that maple leaf on
3:43
your head right there, man, Because here's the thing.
3:46
If it's one country that nobody hates,
3:49
it's Canada. Be honest, I don't know what
3:51
that's all the boot, but I'm gonna
3:53
make it work for me. That's it for today,
3:55
kids, See you next time in geography
3:58
class. Helpful
4:02
phrases Spanish.
4:12
Oh no, no, no, no no, I'm
4:16
just yes. One
4:19
chicken burrito. Please, thank you for allowing
4:21
me to order in Spanish while I'm here in this Chipotle.
4:24
I'm not gonna understand if you respond. Thank
4:26
you very much. Hi,
4:31
kids, welcome to Miss Daisise. Math for
4:33
real life. Calculus is cool
4:35
and all, but if you're part of the ninety nine percent
4:37
of adults who don't become math teachers, you'll
4:40
want to learn some math that you won't learn in school.
4:42
Now, there are two times normal adults use
4:44
math. Tipping your waiter. This
4:48
is only eight percent, and
4:50
buying a home. Buying
4:52
a home is like getting married. It's a huge
4:55
decision, and you're only going to do it one to four
4:57
times in your life. Lucky for you, I'm
4:59
a life sends to real estate agents like
5:01
one third of adults in America, so I can help
5:03
you through this big decision. Step
5:06
one, determine your budget. Usually
5:09
to buy a house, you'll need to put the
5:11
prices a down payment. So for five thousand
5:14
dollar house, you'll need to have a hundred thousand dollars
5:16
in savings. But you only have three
5:18
thousand dollars. Don't worry,
5:21
we'll figure that out later. Let's move on
5:23
to the fun part, step
5:25
to find a house. Look
5:28
at all these beautiful houses. I'm
5:31
a Victorian, I'm mid century
5:33
model, and we are twins.
5:36
But you can't afford any of these houses.
5:40
Oh wait, but what about that one on the end over there,
5:42
and that looks nice. I'm only affordable
5:44
because a murder happened to me and I can't
5:46
stop thinking about it. My walls
5:48
will never be clean. In
5:51
real itt or speak, we call this character.
5:53
So let's put an offer in Step
5:56
three, put in an offer. An offer
5:58
is the price you tell the seller you're willing to pay for
6:00
the house. Let's offer seven and
6:02
fifty K contingent on inspection. I
6:04
think that's good. O.
6:08
They counted at two million last and final.
6:10
I know it's more than we talked about, but I suggest we
6:12
take it. There's a Saudi shell company right behind
6:14
you, ready to pay all cash, just a
6:17
quick thing. I'm paid on commission, so it's really
6:19
important to me that you buy this house, but not really
6:21
important to me that you can afford it. So
6:23
you'll accept. Congrats onto step
6:26
four under contract. Once
6:28
you've signed the initial contract. Now it's time
6:30
to send a forest worth of paperwork to the bank.
6:32
They'll need pay stuffs, bank statements. W
6:35
two's a credit report, a letter from your employer
6:37
and your parents addressed because somebody's
6:39
going to pay for this house. Well, you fill
6:41
all that out. Let's get the house inspected.
6:46
Hello, Mr Wrench, how's the house looking. Oh
6:48
yeah, it's falling apart. You got black bowled.
6:50
The furnace is shot and the septic system needs
6:52
to be replaced. That's right, the septic system.
6:55
I bet you didn't know. This house has a big tube of ship
6:57
under it. It's right next to the well. Step
7:00
five closing day. Once
7:02
the bank approves your paperwork. You signed the final
7:04
contracts with the previous owner and the bank,
7:06
and you own the house. Specifically,
7:10
you own of the house. The rest belongs to
7:12
the bank. Oh, which reminds me, meet Marty
7:14
the mortgage. Where's my money? You better have
7:17
it by the first of a month, or your asked will be
7:19
out in the street. I don't give a crap if it's winter.
7:22
So remember to pay your mortgage and be
7:24
happy because you're living the American
7:26
dream. You own a home and
7:30
that's not class. Today's
7:36
show was brought to you by the letters m
7:38
m K. M
7:40
K. Ultra was a CIA mind control project
7:42
that illegally experimented on humans to identify
7:45
substances that could coerce people into making
7:47
confessions. M K. Hey,
8:11
welcome to science class. Today we're
8:13
gonna talk about animals. And
8:15
I know you kids are like the fancy
8:18
animals. Okay, but stop being so thirsty for
8:20
hippos because unless you're a Colombian drug
8:22
lord, you're never going to own one. Okay.
8:25
Instead, today we're gonna talk about the animals
8:27
you'll actually encounter, the
8:29
ones that will infest your house.
8:32
Animals like the fruit fly.
8:35
This is a mould infestation. As far
8:37
as the intexts go. Fruit flies are pretty chill.
8:39
They're like most Brooklyn hipsters, very picky
8:42
eaters, and they have zero upper body strength.
8:44
Also, they do it doggy style.
8:47
Who knew anyway?
8:49
Getting rid of them is pretty straightforward to
8:52
stop leaving piles of rotting fruit lying around
8:54
U. A worse infestation
8:56
is bedbugs. Much like army hammer,
8:59
they feed on human when blood. Getting wed
9:01
of bed bugs is almost impossible, so
9:03
if you get them, the best solution
9:05
is to just leave, walk out the door,
9:08
star a new life. Like Miley Cyrus.
9:11
People didn't hand them on. Tanna was a character, but it
9:13
was just who she was until she got bed bugs.
9:15
Next up ladybugs or a
9:17
scientists call them women bugs.
9:20
This is maybe the best infestation
9:22
you can have. They don't really do anything,
9:25
and for bugs, they look pretty. They're
9:27
like beetles that just got their nails done.
9:29
But enough about insects. Let's move on
9:31
to mammals, specifically mice
9:34
the freeloader rodents, And
9:37
to be clear, not all rodents
9:39
are freeloaders. Just look at squirrels.
9:41
They're like small business owners hustling
9:44
out there renting storage lockers
9:46
for their nuts. But mice just
9:48
want your food. Now. Mice
9:51
like to come into your home because it's nice and cozy.
9:53
That's why the best way is to deter them
9:56
is to make your home cold and inhospitable,
9:59
like a Scandinavia. If
10:01
you do have mice, you'll know because
10:03
they take these little ships in your house that look exactly
10:05
like chocolate tic TACs, but they are not chocolate
10:08
tic TACs. That's a lesson I learned
10:10
many many times. Finally,
10:14
the king of pests raccoons.
10:16
Raccoons evolved millions of years ago when
10:18
a bath the monkey. Of
10:21
course, I'm just kidding. Science doesn't actually
10:23
know where they came from.
10:25
Mostly they just go through your garbage looking
10:27
for food and anything that can sell on eBay.
10:30
The whole nature recycles. You have
10:32
to be careful around raccoons. They're one of
10:34
the primary carriers of rabies, a
10:36
virus that makes animals act like they're
10:38
from New Jersey. If you see a raccoon
10:41
foaming at the mouth, do not go
10:43
nearer with a cow zone it will fight
10:45
you for it. So yeah,
10:48
those are all the animals you actually need
10:50
to know about. I hope you found this educational.
10:53
Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to
10:55
enjoy some of these chocolate tic TACs I just found
10:59
O damn it. Okay,
11:02
well, i'll see you guys next week, maybe
11:06
this one. No,
11:09
no, no, that was poo to. Al
11:26
Right, everybody, it's time for gym class. It's
11:28
also time for sex, said, which is taught by
11:30
jim teachers for some reason. Let's
11:32
get right into it. Showey sex.
11:40
These days, the Internet is going to give you the wrong
11:43
idea about sex, that it's
11:45
fun. Well, it's not. When you're single,
11:47
getting lucky isn't having sex, it's getting
11:49
a clean blood test six weeks later. And
11:51
when you're married, it's
11:54
not much better. She's more interested in
11:56
her head. Take a personal massager from
11:58
Brookstone and you're so decent ties
12:00
by porn that you can't get things going
12:02
unless you imagine she's a mermaid but with
12:05
legs. Hey, let's get tony jumpy Jack's
12:07
going him. Man. Now,
12:12
if you're in the feet, that's kind of cool because
12:15
you can just go to the beach. Grandfather,
12:24
I'm doing. I'm nine years old and
12:26
one day I will be president of
12:28
the United States. Well,
12:30
first off, don't call me grandpa kid.
12:33
Secondly, who you're not. You'll
12:36
have to wait until you're thirty five, and this
12:38
country is not gonna be around that long.
12:42
But if you like throwing your weight around
12:44
and owning the fate of people in the palm
12:46
of your hand, why not enter
12:49
the exciting fiele of reality
12:51
show judges. There's voting,
12:54
people respect your opinion even though
12:56
you have no clue what you're talking about,
12:58
and the best party you'll never
13:00
have to eat a corn dog and Fiowa,
13:05
so be that instead. I
13:07
commanded Grandpa
13:11
Lou. I love animals. I
13:13
have a dug any cat now, and my
13:16
dream job when I grew up is to help them
13:18
by becoming a veterinarian. Again,
13:20
it's not Grandpa Lou,
13:23
it's guidance counseling lou An.
13:25
Unfortunately, vegetable can cost
13:27
over three grand. It will take you decades
13:30
to pay off. Because people love
13:32
their pets, but they love their money
13:34
more. I'm not taking out a second
13:37
mortgage to fixed muffins thyroid.
13:40
Lucky for you, it's a cheaper way to
13:42
work with animals without all the hassle,
13:45
the Russian circus and unregulated
13:48
paradise of animal performances.
13:50
You'll get to treat all kinds of furry
13:52
friends from endangered species
13:55
sold on the black market to a
13:57
panda that you're pretty sure it's actually just
13:59
to do on bragnant black and white. That
14:01
you'd only get the care for bears you
14:04
could wrestle them. What a
14:06
treat. I'm gonna sign
14:09
you up, grand
14:11
Ball. I'm Kelly, and when
14:14
I grew up, I want to be an astronaut.
14:17
That's a great career choice. I
14:19
mean, to be an astronaut you have to be an expert
14:21
in math and science, and if you're trapped
14:23
in the American educational system,
14:25
you've got no chance at that. So
14:29
I suggest you try for another job
14:32
that will let you enjoy the majesty
14:35
of space. And I sure
14:37
at a planetarium you get
14:39
to experience distant world.
14:42
Just do that instead, all
14:46
right, last kid, I am getting
14:49
secondly ship Mr
14:52
Black. I'm Olivia, and
14:54
I want to become a mid level account representative
14:57
for a marketing company.
14:59
The now. That's a
15:01
career choice. You
15:04
don't need any advice from me, Olivia. You
15:06
get what life saw about. Send
15:08
a realistic goal, achieve
15:11
it, and spend your weekends drinking
15:13
Margarita's and Chili's. All
15:16
right, well, that's enough, correcting
15:19
kids, hopeless dreams until
15:22
next time. Goodbye from Grandpa
15:24
Luke, I mean guidance counsel looke.
15:26
Damn it. Now they've got me doing it.
15:31
What is the fastest land mammal?
15:33
A horse, be cheetah?
15:37
See congressman leaving a hotel at four
15:39
am, d gazelle
15:42
the answer after the break? What
15:52
is the fastest land mammal? The answer
15:54
is see. While
15:56
cheetahs can reach seventy a
15:59
properly intoxicated congressman can drive
16:01
from the crime scene at twice that speed.
16:09
Hey, kids, today we're gonna learn about commerce,
16:12
and we're gonna do it with some help from my friend Smuggly.
16:16
Smuggly, I want to buy an action figure collectible
16:18
from the new Robo Dinosaur movie. I'm
16:20
not sure if I have enough money. If I have four
16:23
quarters and ten dimes, can you
16:25
tell me how much that's worth? Yeah, you've
16:27
got scrap metal. No,
16:30
it's money, that's
16:32
called FIOD money. The future is crypto.
16:34
You gotta get into bitcoin. Bitcoin.
16:38
Isn't that the money you use to buy synthetic
16:40
marijuana from the Philippines. No, no,
16:42
no, no no no, I mean yes, but not
16:44
just then you can buy all kinds of things
16:46
with bitcoin, like a robot
16:48
dinosaur collectible. Sure,
16:51
you can buy any dumb toy you one. Well, technically it's
16:53
not a toy. It's a collective. You see. Bitcoin is a
16:55
semi anonymous digital currency with transactions
16:58
recorded in an open ledger stored online
17:00
and what's called the blockchain. Blockchain
17:03
like legos, legos, Jesus
17:05
Christ. Okay, let me start at the beginning.
17:08
Give me a dollar, Okay,
17:11
Now, what is this dollar bill?
17:14
Worth? One dollar? Which
17:17
is worth wiping my puppet ass with? Sly,
17:20
that's my dollar, relaxed, man, Every dollar
17:23
bill has been in someone's ass. The point is
17:25
it comes from a central bank which can just print
17:27
them out of thin air. That's called inflation.
17:31
And that's why thirty years ago a bottle of
17:33
Lambrusko only costs five dollars and now I'm
17:35
paying like fifteen. That's highway robbery.
17:37
But how does bitcoin fix
17:40
all this? Well,
17:42
it's hardcap to twenty one million bitcoin, so there's
17:44
no inflation, and the only way to find those twenty
17:46
one million is through mining. Mining, So
17:49
bitcoins come from the ground. Not
17:51
that kind of mining, Jesus,
17:53
This is why I didn't want to work on a kid's show, but
17:56
oh puppet can't work a trading desk
17:58
at Goldman. That's the scriminal Asian. Should
18:01
you really be mixing pills and wine
18:03
like that? That's how Prince died. Okay,
18:10
all you need to know is that you and all the other kids
18:12
out there better make the leaf the bitcoin as
18:15
soon as you can. Kids. I'm
18:17
forty one, forty one,
18:19
and you're trying to buy a toy dinosaur, sweet
18:21
baby, James. I thought you just had like a hormone and
18:23
balance or something typicular. It's a collectible. And look,
18:26
if I want to buy one of these bitcoins,
18:29
how much does it cost? Well, that depends on
18:31
the market rate and what someone will take for it. Right
18:33
now, they're worth a lot more than toy
18:36
dinosaur. Toy dinosaur, but
18:38
he for one bitcoin, I could pay Barney to watch
18:40
me baby bop his wife. It
18:43
sounds like I better get a bitcoin. It's the money
18:45
of the future unless the power
18:47
or internet access goes out, and the risk
18:49
of being decentralized means if someone gets control
18:52
of one of the blockchain, they mail
18:54
to the ledger, and of course the deflation
18:56
problem because why would anyone use bitcoin
18:58
to buy things if it keep getting more valuable.
19:01
Now, you may not be able to print new bitcoins,
19:04
but anyone can make new crypto. So bitcoin
19:06
could be made obsoletely through competition,
19:08
or the government could just decide to
19:10
band them anyway.
19:13
It's just a couple thoughts off the top of my hand. Yeah,
19:15
those are those are good points.
19:17
That's why the safest thing to do is to diversify
19:19
and to put your money into other things like what,
19:22
well, while you were talking about this collectible dinosaur,
19:25
Okay, well that's what I wanted to buy.
19:28
Yeah, exactly. There's clearly a demand
19:30
and that's what makes it valuable in the market. Why
19:32
don't you let me buy that off you? Well, you
19:34
can bid for it on eBay with all the rest of the man children.
19:38
That's a dick move. That's
19:40
commerce for your kids.

Warren won and go total away round
19:56
bongong all
19:59
those who light don't win the meeting. Hello,
20:03
I'm an American looking to enter the country
20:05
as an economic refugee. My skills
20:07
include Microsoft Office and knowing
20:09
most of the white man's secrets. How
20:16
little friends, it's me, don't
20:18
say. And today we're gonna learn
20:20
how the government works. Now,
20:23
most Civics classes will teach you about the President
20:26
and Supreme Court and Congress
20:28
and blah blah blah. But you
20:30
don't need to know any of that. Hell,
20:32
the biggest thing Congress does for you has flooded
20:35
your inbox every fifteen minutes. The
20:37
future of the world depends on me
20:39
sending ten bucks to some dumbass
20:41
and Rhode Island. I'm going to tell you about
20:43
the parts of the government you'll meet and feel
20:46
light. Let's start with the T s A. That's
20:49
the part of the government in charge of feeling
20:51
you up and confiscating
20:53
a little shampoo bottles filled with Hennessy.
20:56
Here's the tip, kids, always drink
20:58
your booze for you get on the
21:00
flight. And
21:04
do you know how the T s A gets away with
21:07
harassing us like this? It's
21:09
because the men. That's
21:12
so damn fun. Next,
21:15
we've got the I R S. You
21:18
know how the mafia collects protection money.
21:20
This is sort of like the same thing. You see,
21:23
whatever you make, the government wants a
21:25
taste, and the I r s are
21:27
the guys who come to get it. But don't
21:29
worry, the government will use that money
21:32
for important things like drones and
21:34
studies to see if they can grow corn on
21:36
the sun. Next the
21:38
FBI. Unless
21:41
you're mobbed up, you're probably not gonna hear much from
21:43
these guys. They're busy working
21:45
on a backlog of cases from people who
21:47
copy the VHS tape in nine seven.
21:50
Because if there's one thing the FEDS
21:53
hate more than al Kata, it's
21:55
bootlegs of dirty dancing. There's
21:57
also the c I A are
22:00
the ones selling drugs in your community. Let's
22:04
move on to the judiciary, or as I
22:06
call it, courtship. No
22:08
matter who you are, you're gonna be in a lifelong
22:11
battle against the justice system.
22:14
For some of you would be avoiding jail, but
22:16
for most of you it will be avoiding ry
22:19
duty. Court
22:21
is also where you go to get married, and
22:24
where you go back to to get divorced,
22:27
and where you defend yourself against grant
22:29
them auto charges because he said the four
22:31
explore was his, but you would have won making
22:33
the payments. And
22:38
speaking of cars, let's move on
22:40
to the d m V. That's where you go to renew
22:42
your license, you'll wait in a long ass
22:45
line next to all the weirdest people who live
22:47
in your county. In fact, I'm in a
22:49
d m V line right now. After
22:53
this, I'm heading over to the State Department, because
22:55
that's where you get your passport, the document
22:58
that has the smallest worst picture
23:01
you've ever taken. Oh,
23:03
don't worry, you only have to look at it
23:05
for ten years. What else,
23:07
Oh, the Department of Education. They're
23:10
in charge of teaching you the basics, like
23:12
where to hide during a school shooting. Other
23:15
than that, they don't teach you ship, which
23:17
is why I'm here teaching you on my day
23:20
off. They could have more
23:22
funding, but America needs that money
23:25
for the Defense Department. They're
23:27
the ones out there enforcing
23:30
the American Empire so
23:32
you can maintain your way of life.
23:35
Oh y'all didn't think I was gonna get
23:37
real, did you. If
23:39
you're a male over the age of eighteen, the
23:41
military will make you register for the draft,
23:44
but not if you're a woman. And
23:46
that's fine with me. I'm the kind
23:49
of feminist that wants to be a CEO, not
23:51
a gunnery sergeant. And
23:54
that's basically most of government. You interact
23:56
with. There's other agencies. You
23:58
got the e p a EM Deep
24:01
stay, but we'll get to them another
24:03
time. Right now, I gotta go
24:05
get my license. Well
24:13
that is our special Thank
24:15
you so much for watching. I hope we
24:17
all learned something. I know I learned
24:20
much too late that none of this is text
