Shownotes Transcript

Venture out of the Daily Show studio and into the real world with Ronny Chieng, as we revisit some of his best field pieces. 

Ronny heads to Arizona to dig up the dirt on body donation scams, then to Washington D.C. to try his hand at law enforcement policing plastic straw bans. Next he plugs in to the world of Bitcoin and stupid meme currencies. Heading to Chicago, he goes to jail to find the best pizza in town, then all the way to Australia to learn about compulsory voting.
