| 0:08.4 | Hello, everybody, Jordan Klepper here, and your ears have wandered into a special podcast episode where we take you behind the show at The Daily Show. |
| 0:19.2 | I'm joined virtually by supervising producer and segment director Ian Berger today to talk |
| 0:24.1 | about our latest foray into the megalopolis, figuring the polls at Trump's second inauguration. |
