You're listening to Comedy Central.

From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Michael Kosta.

Michael Kosta (2:14)

The Iran War cinematic universe keeps expanding. Sports betting gets its sexy makeover. In great news, New Yorkers are getting a public restroom that isn't the C train.

SPEAKER_6 (2:24)

Hey, let's get into the headlines.

Michael Kosta (2:31)

Let's start right here in New York City.

SPEAKER_7 (2:37)

Home of the New York Knicks.

Michael Kosta (2:41)

And the Statue of Liberty. And Throg's Neck Bridge.

We got some throg heads in the house. It's the best city in the world. A lot of build up for that. It's the best city in the world. But it's not perfect. Luckily, we've got Mayor Zohran Mamdani here now to fix our problem, starting with problems number one and number two.

SPEAKER_8 (3:07)

Finding a public restroom in the city could soon get a lot easier. Mayor Mamdani announced plans to install 17 modular public restrooms in busy areas all across the five boroughs.

Michael Kosta (3:18)

Yes. Thank you, Mayor Mamdani. Looks like Kosta has weekend plans after all.

But this will be helpful, because I'm so sick of having to buy a coffee every time I need to go to the bathroom, and then having to buy another coffee because the first coffee maybe need to go to the bathroom. Then, yep, you guessed it, another coffee for another bathroom. Coffee, bathroom, coffee, bathroom, coffee, bathroom, until finally I'm home and I can relax on my couch with, you guessed it, a nice cup of coffee. But these aren't just your regular old public restrooms. These have some pretty high-tech features.

SPEAKER_7 (3:54)

A QR code gets you in for free. Safety features include a smoke detector and a 10-minute time limit per use.

SPEAKER_1 (4:02)

First mention, your use time has expired.

SPEAKER_10 (4:05)

The door is opening now.

Ronny Chieng (4:06)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Michael Kosta (4:10)

Wait, after 10 minutes the door is open automatically?

People are going to be in there on minute nine with their pants around their ankles trying to cut the wire like it's Mission Impossible. Red or blue, red or blue?

I can't believe the door just flies open whether you're done or not. Nothing keeps things moving smoothly like a shock clock counting down until the entire city gets to see your butthole. On the other hand, it does beat the original idea, which was to eject you over the Throg's Neck Bridge. It's a great bridge. Let's move on to something that's lasted way longer than 10 minutes, the war in Iran.

Ronny Chieng (4:55)

Nothing bad can happen.

SPEAKER_8 (4:56)

It can only good happen.

Michael Kosta (5:00)

When Trump launched this war back in March, he promised us it would take just a few weeks and it would cost us nothing. And that promise went just as perfectly as all other promises.

SPEAKER_11 (5:09)

Nearly seven months into the war with Iran, Americans are also footing a rapidly rising bill. From the price of the war itself, the Congressional Budget Office now estimating $38 billion in rising, to the price of the things we need, like oil. Diesel prices pushed to new record highs again overnight. Diesel's rising cost can show up in everything, from groceries to clothes to home heating.
