A comedy show about
the United States government, starring me,

3
00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:14,139
produced by you.

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,640
I have some concerns.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,360
Adam, can we make this fast,
I'm right in the middle of doing my taxes.

6
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:23,732
You don't have an accountant?

7
00:00:23,815 --> 00:00:25,150
I enjoy doing them myself.

8
00:00:25,233 --> 00:00:28,903
You know taxes are the price
we pay for living in a civilized society.

9
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:31,448
Uh-huh. So, how's it going?

- [thunder rumbling]
- Uh, let's get out of here, come on!

3
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:19,710
[Adam] Uh, I think maybe
there's some shelter over this way?

4
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:24,107
[Adam panting] Goddammit. Quick!
Come on, come on. Oh shit, oh shit oh...

[groans]

9
00:00:37,412 --> 00:00:40,457
You know what
my earliest memory is as a child?

1
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:11,553
[light-hearted music plays]

2
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:18,351
[protesters] Banks got bailed out!
We got sold out!

3
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:22,188
Here's a question,
do you trust the government?

4
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:25,692
I don't always.
I've seen them bail out Wall Street

5
00:00:25,775 --> 00:00:30,572
while the average American struggles.
I've seen them attack peaceful protesters.

6
00:00:30,655 --> 00:00:33,033
And come on,
I know what the TSA is really doing

7
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:35,618
with all my confiscated weed gummies.

8
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:39,122
[protesters] Banks got bailed out!
We got sold out!

9
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:42,042

1
00:00:06,631 --> 00:00:08,591
[lighthearted music plays]

2
00:00:15,223 --> 00:00:19,352
When did we all stop believing
that our government could do great things?

3
00:00:19,436 --> 00:00:22,276
- [marching band music plays]
- [man 1] That's one small step for man...

4
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,583
You know, we only went
to the moon in the first place

5
00:00:24,607 --> 00:00:27,819
because we were locked in a Cold War
military competition with the Soviets.

6
00:00:27,902 --> 00:00:31,990
[man 1]...One giant screw you
to those Commie bastards.

7
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:35,118
[evil laughter]

8
00:00:35,952 --> 00:00:39,289
But it was still one of the
greatest technological achievements

9
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:40,915

1
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,591
[light-hearted music plays]

2
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:22,814
- [indistinct chatter]
- [monitor beeping]

3
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,901
[somber music plays]

4
00:00:29,404 --> 00:00:33,533
Does the government...
care about our health?

5
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,535
Serious question. [splutters]

6
00:00:35,618 --> 00:00:40,165
I mean we've seen how hard
it works to make sure food is cheap.

7
00:00:40,248 --> 00:00:43,877
Why doesn't it do the
same thing for prescription drugs?

8
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:49,424
You know, if a bank fails,
the government swoops in to save the day,

9
00:00:49,924 --> 00:00:54,304
but if your heart fails, they

1
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:08,967
[light-hearted music plays]

2
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:20,645
[phone ringing]

3
00:00:31,614 --> 00:00:32,824
I'm gonna be honest,

4
00:00:33,324 --> 00:00:35,035
you know as a TV host,

5
00:00:35,118 --> 00:00:38,955
there's this expectation that
you're supposed to be authoritative.

6
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,333
Ask a big weighty question
then beam into your living room

7
00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:44,794
or your bathroom
while you're on your phone

8
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:48,965
and deliver a nice neat
answer in 27 to 34 minutes.

9
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:50,925
Whatever the algorithm prefers.
