| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the award-winning Best of a Let's Podcast with clips today from the Daily |
| 0:12.6 | Show, Media Matters, Countdown, The Young Turks, Counter-Spin, The Bugle, The Rachel |
| 0:17.7 | Matter Show, NPR, and for our iPhone app users bonus clip today from The Colbert Report. |
| 0:30.0 | Now, obviously, the weather is a big story today. As you know, we don't usually cover the weather |
| 0:33.0 | here on the Daily Show. We leave that sort of thing to Comedy Central's satirical newscast. |
| 0:37.0 | The weather report. One of our former correspondents, Deutel von Tainstein. |
| 0:41.8 | I don't remember him. He was, uh, I think that was a joke from 10 years ago on the show, |

| 1:55.2 | Pretty awesome, right? Snow Tories B-I-G. It takes the comeder genius of the Daily Show to come up with something |
| 2:05.9 | that cool. We're quick. Good. We're talking about weather and it's also the same, uh, |
| 2:10.6 | let's just great to see you on during the week. They're talking about me. I hope they let us know how |
| 2:14.0 | the snow torreous B-I-G is progressing east, talking about the snow there. They're calling it the |
| 2:19.0 | snow torreous B-I-G. Just f**k that. All right, fine. |
