Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
The researchers that concluded our homes are too clean have clearly never been in my apartment.
Yeah nor mine 😂
Usually, comment sections do more mental harm than good. But sometimes, just sometimes folks, they remind you that you aren't alone in your disgustingness. Thank you, Internet.
"eating poison & bangin' gutter doves", describes #america perfectly bigly 😂
Sounded to me like a description of tRUMP 😊
I am enjoying the reference to pigeons as “Gutter Doves” way too much How have I never heard them called that before 😂
That's because "winged rat" is more accurate.
@stoverwboo I mean, pigeons and doves are the same birds, so... not really?
@@RabblesTheBinx Got curious and looked it up. Same family of bird; different sub-species So similar but not the same
@@TheMulToyVerse the proper name for pigeons is literally "rock dove". Literally all members of that family can be referred to as either doves or pigeons. There is no scientific difference, or even consistent linguistic difference, between the two terms. "Pidgeon" and "dove" are both terms that can be applied to any extant member of the Columbidae family.
It's unfortunate that they are so sadly misunderstood and maligned. Pigeons are intelligent, sensitive, loyal, wonderful birds.
Now somebody has to send a dog swab to 23 and Me and see what they come up with.
Brilliant!
Had the same thought... 😁
people have collected their dogs' drool and were given human results from it.

Antibiotics are used more in the close quarters of factory farming, so it's a clue that they're buying from an environment that is very uncomfortable for the birds
More uncomfortable than our stomachs? 😮
Its tyson
Back in the '40s some food scientist gave antibiotics to chickens and it turned out they got more meat per bird. It isn't done for treating disease, they feed it to the whole flock. Unfortunately, this breeds antibiotic resistance and should not be done in a wise practice. Greed wins out over good practice. Karl
"Uncomfortable" is a pretty soft way of describing, "so tight they can't turn around and sometimes their feet grow around the bars of the cages."
@@karlfisher1864 it's for PREVENTING disease. Because birds live in such crowded and unsanitary conditions, they easily develop infections. Preemptive use of antibiotics allows for increased profit by producing more kg of poultry meat per invested $ (animal activity and feed, housing and harvesting all decrease in cost with more intensive coops).
He didn't just die doing what he loved, Stephen. Flaco died reminding us to make the world safer for birds. This includes bird-safe buildings and window treatments and reducing the use of poisons and pesticides.
Yeah, what about bird herpes? That's why we need to make condoms available for all flyaway owls.
@@robertmadrigal6783 That stuff never goes away. Take my word for it.
These days they say every bird has pigeon herpes
Is this why Chick-fil-A is allowing antibiotics in chickens 😮 @@lindencurhart1949

*avoids all eye contact* yeah... trust me... my home is not "too clean"
wow I have another reason not to buy any "food" from yet another fastfood joint. Aside from an average meal hovering $20. It's like paying your own hitman. Like an installment plan for death. Buy a little here, a little there, then all of a sudden the bill comes due and you hit the floor from a deadly MI.
1:46 Coulda been "Kyle says you have umlimited crabs." It was RIGHT THERE! Cmon!
Whoever pitched "Gutter doves" is not being paid enough.
I believe that term was coined back in the Victorian age as a term for prostitute.
"Gutter dove" sounds exactly like a Victorian slang term for prostitute.
Flaco's story is an important reminder to those using poisons to kill pests... when the pest ingests that poison whatever eats it gets poisoned too... Pests are awful yes, but literally poisoning the ecosystem is not the answer... Flaco is a singular Owl how many other birds of prey are dying in that city because of the same issues... Granted we cant do anything about the pigeon red light district, nor could we ever understand why they are so popular among some bird species.

I used the Underground for nearly 10 years. I’m all topped up on germs for life.
I've been saying that about the modern obsession with cleanliness and anti-bacterial everything for a long time.
Me too! I understood it during Covid but kids need a little dirt. My Mom used to say "You're going to eat a bucket of dirt before you die" You'll never develop an immune system if you're never exposed to anything you need to be immune to.
My Mother agreed with you. She was a good housekeeper, but would not use antibacterial stuff. She lived to be 95!
Yes! It turns out the more babies are exposed to the less likely they are to have serious allergies as well.
it's also not something completely new. there have been many studies who claimed to have found a link between asthma and too clean homes. aka children growing up in the countryside, with farms, playing outside and stuff, being healthier that super-clean city children. though you should ALWAYS wash your hands after a visit to a bathroom, because if not that's just gross.
No problems with my home being too clean. But now I have an excellent excuse. Thanks, science!
I read all of your comments with Zapp's voice in my brain.
Clean home, dirty home... When I was a kid, we went outside, touched grass, ingested incidental amounts of dirt, climbed trees, got road rash from bad bicycle jumps, caught frogs, pet outdoor dogs and cats... Now these computer-connected kids have to get their inoculations of the real world via countertops?
@@MonkeyJedi99 "When I was a kid, we went outside..." - I suspect that the idiots telling us our homes are too clean are the same ones who told people to not get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 and that people should intentionally get infected instead to achieve "herd immunity".

Moral of the story: Crispy bacon is better for you
Crispy Bacon Saves Lives!
Just think what extra crispy bacon can do for humanity!
I loved Flaco. How tragic.
The way Stephen describes his graphics department, it’s almost as if he shares the same one as Seth!

I think they might cause their jokes are very similar
All professional graphics departments are the same lol

This goes directly to Tyson. They provide chicken to all fast food chains, public schools, and grocery stores.
This is why most Am3ric4n food is LITERALLY illegal hare in the EU
They hire immigrant children. Bad scene inside their butchering facilities. Tyson is no bueno.
One more reason to boycott animal products! The overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture will produce a pathogen which cannot be cured by antibiotics. It is just a matter of time. Animal agriculture likes to use so much to make the animals grow faster, and to allow them to be in crowded conditions. That also increases profits and the chances of more epidemics and pandemics.
@@someguy2135 pet food is another disaster; and I have a theory about ADD, ADHD, and high fructose and dyes. See Man Shares Foods that are banned in EU but legal in US. Dyes in particular are believed to be connected to ADD, and ADHD.
@@liberatedwoman I am glad we agree that animal agriculture is a disaster. Could you clarify what you mean about pet food? Speculation is fine, but only because it can lead to scientific studies. That is what should guide us. The science tells us to stop over using antibiotics to increase profits, but lobbyists paid by those who profit prevent our elected leaders from passing laws against it, at least here in the USA. I heard that Canada is an exception, so it shows that it can be done.
Poor owl was probably eating poisoned rats and sick pigeons.
After watching a documentary on Parasites years ago, I cringe when I see people eat raw meat (or insufficiently cooked meat). 🤢
Part of me wants to google Bacon Brain Parasites, and the other 90per cent of me doesn't..... 🤢
Let me tell you about swordfish....
@@dianedenham5259 it sounds like trichinosis. Vegetarian fed pigs don't get it, it's more common in wild boars and he was likely eating boar bacon that was caught wild and not farmed. You can get it from eating bear or cougar meat too.

But raw fruits and vegetables, on the other hand...

If I'm eating at Chick-fil-A, I should probably be on antibiotics anyway.

If you're eating at Chick-fil-A you are a religious zealot with no taste buds.

This is how drug resistant mutated strains begin and why this practice should be banned.

@@bigeddy602 Better jump down and turn around while you're eating it...
Chick-fil-A: we're not sure if we cook the chicken properly every time, but here's the anti-biotics just to be sure you ok
Their chicken is garbage anyway.
@@repealthepatriotactyeah, nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded
@@glennleatherwood4552I'm talking about the chicken. It's well known that it's a low-grade chicken. In fact, Chick-fil-A sells twice as many orders of the waffle fries than they do their chicken. They were absolute marketing geniuses when they went all in on Jesus and have developed a literal cult within a cult......our Jesus freak manager used to bring in the Chick-fil-A mini chicken breakfast sandwiches for our weekly Branch meeting and no one ate them. Because they were garbage, but he kept bringing them in because.....praise Jesus!

So glad I don’t eat junk food.
Stephen, it was funny 😁
There will be several people who can’t understand the difference between vaccines and antibiotics who will most definitely take this literally.
I was reading somewhere that the big farms have said that they do not inject antibiotics into their chickens. Instead, I believe it is in the feed, so, the big farms are not lying.
That owl did not catch herpes by snogging the pigeons but by _eating_ them. He was a mighty bird-of-prey.
Yeah, maybe, but the former is funner to think about.
Probably got the rat poison, eating rats, too.
#woosh
I'm gathering from the comment section that some folks don't really understand what it is that Stephen does for a living. Wake up and smell the sarcasm, folks.
Duh
Flaco 😭
Who?😏
There could be falling hazards as climbers throw their frozen poop off Mount Everest. Just don’t look up when climbing up.
Entrained antibiotics is not the only dangerously flakey project that the religious people at Chic Fil A stores are passing out to their customers. The Confederate based corporation also has been "brining" (adding salt) to their recipe for their primary product. Many on low-salt diets are not knowledgeable of Chic Fil A's secret ingredient which could raise their blood pressure to dangerous levels just through consumption of the standard food produced at these outlets which are now practically Nationwide. Southern religeous-based hospitality. 🔥
anyone on a low salt diet are not eating fastfood, and anyone who thinks fast food isn't chalk a block full of salt are idiots or fooling themselves
With a free order of bigotry with every sammich!
“KKK /gun packing/ prolife bullying” southern lands. 😮
The accuracy of human DNA tests is related to having so many samples studied that the common diminutive traits between people from certain parts of the world can be identified. As dogs rarely have paternity problems or are involved in criminal investigations, etc., the accuracy of those tests will increase when enough samples are collected. Not long ago, human DNA tests were also famous by their mistakes.
Famous because ironically - dog DNA was sent in to the human DNA testing companies and apparently a lot of dogs are Anglo Saxon. 😆
So... the poop has to go, but the frozen solid dead bodies can stay, yeah?
They're important landmarks, how else am I supposed to find my way back down? 🥶

Never had Chick-fil-A and never will because of their, like Cracker barrel, discriminatory practices.
I'm an atheist and a liberal woman. I don't care. Food is food. They can believe what they want, that's their business, who am I to tell them what to believe? I never tell religious people what to believe. I don't tell Christians. And I don't tell Muslims. It's their business.
@@SW-dq1nd I'm an atheist liberal woman too. It's one thing for places like Chick-fil-A to believe homosexuality is bad. It's quite another for them to donate to and lobby for legislation that makes life harder for homosexuals, just because they're sexually attracted to the same sex. CFA is essentially telling other people how to live.

There are no antibiotics in meat in Canada. It's the law.
Jealous
LMAO. Yes there is. Who told you otherwise? There would be a lot of dead Canadians if they didn't. Maybe you meant there is a law that a certain amount of time has to pass after the antibiotics are injected before the animal is harvested.
Probably the reason Canadians live to the age of Moses. Ryan Reynold, live long and prosper!

You want your kid exposed to lots of germs? Get him a dog and send him to school.
Yep

Antibiotic Chick-fil-A, sort of like the Enhanced Games where athletes can use performance-enhancing drugs.
To be fair the joke about antibiotics and talking to Red lobster It actually would be more accurate if it was your insurance company, because God forbid a doctor could doctor without a non-doctor making the decision to say yes or no.
Pet DNA kits for sure do NOT work. My friend adopted a dog that had been a stray from Mexico and wanted to know what her dog's origins were. They gave back results that just didn't fit at all with the size, coat, ears, and like anything about her dog. The company was kind enough to send her another kit free of charge, but the second results were ridiculous as well.
I had a friend use one on her cat and the company told her it was a retriever/doberman mix.
@@KS-PNW this is the advertisement I needed! XD I would do it just for that lol
Sounds more like "I refuse to accept the truth due to my predetermined biases"
@@WillemDafuq69 Yes, yes, like that reporter. She's not actually human, she's just been raised as one. Genius.
@@WillemDafuq69Actually, at least two of those pet DNA companies have been caught BSing customers or just not testing before sending made-up results. There's been several examples in the last years. So, between people "not accepting" their digs results and the company just plain making it up: you have more verified evudence for the latter.
Underneath the humour, the chicken, bacon and owl stories are pretty alarming about the state of the US food chain and the NY environment.
As long as profits are ok everything is fine.

Another great excuse for not cleaning is the COV present in most cleaning products. "Honey, I'd love to clean the bathroom today, but this is a confined space, and my COV exposure is already too much from cleaning the kid's crayons off the walls."

MEANWHILE, in even other news, Pigeon Herpes is apparently a thing.
We could call it Pigeon Pox, so Chicken Pox (which is also herpes) could have a friend....
Pet gene tests may still be relatively accurate in that humans share an overwhelming number of genes with other mammals, including 94% with dogs. It's the "junk DNA" that regulates gene expression that does the differentiating.
We also share that same 94% with Pond Scum...
no if the kits are producing results like that on human DNA, it means the kits primers have low specificity

Dogs and Humans share about 84% of their DNA...
Hm-m-m, that explains my ears....🐶
Yes, the issue lies in that the protocols for the analysis don't filter for pets only, they just match small regions of the sequences. The DNA strands are so many and so large that since the 70s the protocols have been designed to overcome the issue of size. This means that you usually have a high specificity with high throughput, given the conditions the DNA extraction was succesfully done from the organism that you wanted. A complete DNA sequencing of the genome of a single organism is at around 400 dollars, and will give you such an enormous quantity of information that any software analysis will be overwhelming. So the "solution" has to design protocols to simplify flag search of sequences, discarding the rest, and the algorithms are comparative in bulk, not for any specific minute variation, which is actually fine at the end of the day.
@@dianedenham5259 And why I wake up sometimes, and howl at the moon!
yes but if there kits were real they be using different primers which mean there shouldn't be a reaction to human DNA
