1:09It's been a good week. It's been a crazy week. Oh my goodness. I thought the week was just going to be about comedy in London. And then Israel and Iran happened. And then we were on the brink of World War III. like you here are now a Friday crowd having fun. Monday, Tuesday crowd. Yeah. You try to tell jokes when there's missiles outside. Like everyone was here like... Because that would be a weird way like to be, you know what I mean? Like at the beginning of World War III. People are like, where were you? And you're like, what?

1:52Did you see what happened? no I didn't where were you oh Trevor was telling us about uh about Brixton

2:04it was such an insane story as well like now I feel like the world we live in I sometimes think about like parallel universes and timelines and I'm not sure if I believe it but but when I do think about I go like I think we somehow slipped into the ludicrous timeline like we were all in a very normal timeline us as people and then something happened around like covid and then we went into the crazy timeline and then the other versions of us are now like wow things have become very boring and normal because like this is not normal you know like the week starts off or the i mean it's been like two weeks technically right starts off israel iran was negotiating a nuclear deal with america negotiating a deal negotiating a deal they're making progress making progress they're getting close they're getting super close and then israel was like uh-uh no no deal and then israel started launching missiles at iran right and then it's hard to make a deal when it's like missiles hitting you you know what i mean like you're trying it's like when you're like trying to break up with someone at a restaurant and then the waiter keeps coming is everything great just wait just i'm just let me just handle let me just hand so what i'm saying is i'm just is how's everything going yeah yeah look hey we'll call you it will call you we'll call you please so iran was like all right i can't i can't handle i can't and so then iran was like missiles back at israel missiles missiles missiles and then israel was like missiles missiles and then iran was like missiles missiles and it was going back and forth back and forth israel was definitely winning it because like iran has missiles but not like israel's type of missiles you know what i mean like is like iran doesn't have much money and stuff so their missiles are like those cheap fireworks your friends you know when your parents would like they'd feel bad you'd be like what are we doing for guy fawkes day and then your parents would be like oh do you want these ones you're like do you like them they're like no just throw them on the ground and he's like pat pat pat do you feel like the other kids no i don't at all so iran has those ones and then they're launching back and forth back and forth back and the whole world was like oh man this again middle east conflict middle east and then at the peak of it everyone's like oh man how could this get worse donald trump was like hello

4:13Donald Trump came in and he was like, I'm gonna help. I'm gonna totally deescalate this situation. I'm gonna deescalate this situation. And we were like, ah, my man, you've never deescalated a thing in your life, in your life, from your head to your politics. Nothing is a de-escalation. Nothing. Trump came in and he's like, I don't like how Iran and Israel are launching bombs at each other all the time. So many bombs. We can't have this. It's not right. Too many bombs. Too many bombs. We got to stop it. No more bombs. No more bombs. We got to stop it. We got to fix it. And they're like all right how are you gonna fix it he's like they're dropping bombs i'm gonna drop bombs

5:00and no one no one expected like the whole world was like okay trump is gonna mediate or he's gonna because he said to them hey guys let's sort this out peace deal we're gonna do a peace deal and then he dropped bombs on iran and everyone in the world was like what the hell and a lot of people in my life were like oh man i can't believe that trump did this i can't believe and they were so stressed and I was like yes but look look on the bright side and they're like what bright side I was like on the bright side Trump also can't believe that he did this like that's that's the one glimmer of hope that I get from Donald Trump is that like he also doesn't know what he's doing he's in it with us which is a nice change oftentimes we're at the mercy of those in power but he's in the mercy with us like we're all locked in a prison cell but he's holding the key and he's like we're all trapped we're all trapped what are we gonna do we're like use the key what what are you talking about and the reason I say this is because Trump came out and he hosted a press conference about it was so wild he hosted a press conference about dropping the bombs and he was shocked in the press conference he came out and he's like earlier today the United States military that's us that's us launched missiles bunker besters launch missiles on Iran on all their nuclear facilities and boy you don't know you don't understand you've never seen never seen bombs like that before they came down and they dropped in those bombs but I couldn't believe what those bombs were doing I couldn't believe it I couldn't believe it and I called I called I'm the want to call.

6:42I said, drop the bomb. I didn't know I was going to call. I said, two weeks. I said, two weeks. I told everybody, two weeks. It was going to be two weeks. And then I was on the plane. Then I said, I'm calling. Drop the bomb. And the bombs were dropped. I'd never seen bombs like that. I said, whoa, we're never dropping bombs like that. I've never seen bombs like that. Those bombs were dropped. And now it's over. Now it's over. We're all good. We're all good. And so now because America had dropped bombs on them, then Iran had to respond But then Iran didn't want to get into a fight. No one wants to get into a fight with America You know what I mean?

7:16And so like Iran was like, ah, we are going to retaliate against you And then they launched missiles at an American base in Qatar, but then they phoned America first They did, they were like, all right, we are launching bombs against you in like 45 minutes, an hour maybe You tell us how long you need, then we will launch who launched the bombs and then the americans cleared out their base and everything important and then the bombs fell and then trump very like in an interesting way he responded to iran then he wrote on on his like thing online on his profile he was like thank you to iran for giving us notice about the bombs now it's over it's all over there will be peace and then he said iran israel peace and they were like all right peace peace peace all good then trump went to sleep

8:06and in the four hours that he was sleeping israel like out of nowhere they came and they were like iran launched more missiles and then everyone was like wait what missiles and israel's like you launched missiles and iran was like no and then israel is like too late we're coming for you with more bombs and then the world was like what and then trump woke up and this was the moment when I can safely say I have felt more connected to Donald Trump than I've ever in my entire life. Because that man is not a normal human being. Very seldom have I looked at Trump and thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can relate to this.

8:37But he came out after Israel was about to launch a full-scale bombing attack on Iran. And he came out, he heard about this. Man didn't even put on a tie. Came out of the White House half-dressed, ran straight into reporters, and he went into it. He was like, I heard about what Iran is doing and what Israel is doing. And let me tell you, I'm angry at Iran, but I'm more angry at Israel. They said peace. And I said, we're going to do peace. And they're launching. And I'm sick of them. Israel, you better not do it. You don't do it, Israel. I said, peace. You don't do it. He looked like a dad who had kids that were fighting in the backyard.

9:14And he was just going back and forth. He's just like, Israel, shut up, baby. Come on, shut up. Sit up. How many times do I have to tell your kids that you're not going to? I tell you once and I tell you again. And then he looked at the reporter and he did something I've never seen an American president do in my entire life. He cursed live on TV into the camera. Looked at the camera and he was like, they were like, what do you think, Mr. He's like, I'll tell you what this is. You've got two countries that have been fighting so long they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

9:52You're like, oh, dad is mad.

9:58Dad is mad.

10:04And I don't know what was crazier, the fact that he cursed on live TV as an American president, or the fact that that somehow became bigger news than the actual bombs that were dropped. The bombs was like half a day of news. the biggest bombs ever dropped on a country randomly out of war was barely any news and then trump came out and he swore every news outlet guardian bbc al jazeera cnn you name all of them all of them trump curses trump swears trump says f word f everywhere and i was like damn so the f bomb was more important than the bomb bomb everyone on tv we've never seen this before we've never seen an American president curse on national television.

10:47This has never, I don't even understand what we're seeing right now. Donald Trump, and I must warn, I must warn sensitive viewers, I must warn sensitive, yo, you showed footage of cities being leveled by bombs. You said it just casually. Let me show you some of the bombs that were dropped here. Let me show you some of the bombs. All right, now, Trump said something. I must warn you, if you have children in the room, you might want to cover their ears. You might want to cover their ears because he said the F Like people cared more about the words than the others the wildest thing Wildest thing.

11:19I can't believe I can't believe it. They were doing it as if the people in Iran were just like yeah No, no, no, no the bombs are one thing, but what he said You can take bombs back but words Words are forever

11:42Oh man Thank you.
