JESSE KELLY (HOST): I almost forgot. Before we get to the emails that we have that hilarious Puerto Rican joke that comedian dropped last night at Madison Square Garden. Play it, Chris. 

TONY HINCHCLIFFE (CLIP): You know, there's a lot going on. Like, I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico. 

KELLY: That's hilarious! That's hilarious! And today, people are pretending to be offended by it. Oh, shut up. You tell those same jokes with your friends. You know who tells those jokes with their friends? Puerto Ricans. So stop being offended on other people's behalf. For some reason, that's like a Western thing being offended on behalf of other people. It's ridiculous.
