1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:02,503
Hey, what's going on,
everybody?
2
00:00:02,536 --> 00:00:03,670
welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
3
00:00:03,704 --> 00:00:05,038
I'm Trevor Noah.
4
00:00:05,072 --> 00:00:07,107
Today is Monday,
the seventh of December,
5
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:10,911
which means Christmas
is only 18 days away!
6
00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:13,981
So if you start now, you might
finish untangling your lights
7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,049
in time for Christmas next year!
8
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:18,552
Anyway, coming up
on tonight's show--
9
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:21,154
somehow, Rudy Giuliani
got coronavirus,
10
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:23,857
Jaboukie Young-White knows
the best songs of the year,
11
00:00:23,891 --> 00:00:27,160
and Method Man is on the show
as our guest.
12
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,529
So let's do this, people.
13
00:00:28,562 --> 00:00:31,098
Welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
14
00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:34,735
ANNOUNCER: From Trevor's couch
in New York City
15
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:37,871
to your couch
somewhere in the world, this is
16
00:00:37,905 --> 00:00:42,976
The Daily Social Distancing
Show with Trevor Noah.
17
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:46,113
Let's kick things off in India,
18
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:48,081
the country
whose favorite pastime
19
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:50,384
is baseball played all wrong.
20
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:51,985
While most us have spent 2020
21
00:00:52,019 --> 00:00:54,454
in sweat pants
and perpetually uncombed hair,
22
00:00:54,488 --> 00:00:56,056
a few others have decided
23
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:59,526
that actually glamour is more
important now than ever before.
24
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,528
And if you're really looking
to make a statement,
25
00:01:01,562 --> 00:01:04,431
well, this just might be
the thing for you.
26
00:01:04,464 --> 00:01:06,567
NEWSWOMAN: Jewelers in India set
a Guinness World Record
27
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,169
for most diamonds
in a single ring.
28
00:01:09,203 --> 00:01:10,470
Look at that thing.
29
00:01:10,504 --> 00:01:13,307
There are a total
of 12,638 diamonds
30
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:14,908
on this flower-shaped ring,
31
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:18,111
dubbed "The Marigold,"
or "The Ring of Prosperity."
32
00:01:18,145 --> 00:01:21,548
The previous record was set
with 7,800 diamonds.
33
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:27,421
Ooh-wee! That ring has
almost 13,000 diamonds?
34
00:01:27,454 --> 00:01:28,989
That's the kind of gift
you get your wife
35
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,291
if she caught you cheating
with every person
36
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:33,393
she's ever met in her life.
37
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:36,530
All right, so, that diamond's
for your best friend.
38
00:01:36,563 --> 00:01:39,333
And that diamond is
for your sister.
39
00:01:39,366 --> 00:01:43,337
And that big one-- that diamond
is for the time with your dad.
40
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:45,205
You slept with my dad?
41
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,875
Baby, you see the diamonds,
don't you?
42
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:50,844
Now, look, I'm sorry, but
I don't think this should count
43
00:01:50,878 --> 00:01:53,213
for record number
of diamonds on a ring,
44
00:01:53,247 --> 00:01:54,748
because that thing
is not a ring.
45
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:56,583
All right?
That's a hand sombrero.
46
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:58,051
You can't just say
something is a ring
47
00:01:58,085 --> 00:01:59,353
because you can
stick your finger in it.
48
00:01:59,386 --> 00:02:01,121
I can't put my hand
in the muffler
49
00:02:01,154 --> 00:02:02,389
of a Lamborghini and be like,
50
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:05,459
"Look at my fancy ring!"
(imitates engine revving)
51
00:02:05,492 --> 00:02:07,861
The weird thing about this ring
is that on the one hand,
52
00:02:07,895 --> 00:02:09,329
yeah, you probably want
to wear it
53
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:11,298
to the most glamorous party
in the world.
54
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:13,467
But on the other hand, you also
probably want to wear it
55
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,569
to a bar fight,
because one punch with that,
56
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:17,104
and your enemy is dead.
57
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:20,440
It's basically brass knuckles,
but for the red carpet.
58
00:02:20,474 --> 00:02:23,143
Oh, you want to step to me,
Meryl? You want to step to me?
59
00:02:23,177 --> 00:02:26,346
I'll take you down, Meryl.
You're not winning this year!
60
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:29,650
I mean, seriously, what do you
even do with that ring?
61
00:02:29,683 --> 00:02:31,818
It's too rich for any event.
62
00:02:31,852 --> 00:02:33,921
There is no event glamorous...
63
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:36,190
Like, the only event glamorous
enough to wear that ring
64
00:02:36,223 --> 00:02:38,792
would be like if there was
a wedding between--
65
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,662
I don't know--
the pope and Queen Elizabeth.
66
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:43,096
And that's not gonna happen.
67
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:45,432
Unless the queen is out walking
her corgi one day,
68
00:02:45,465 --> 00:02:47,434
and then,
it breaks loose from the leash,
69
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,770
and then the pope is
on the other side of the road
70
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:52,573
fixing his popemobile, and
the corgi runs up to the pope.
71
00:02:52,606 --> 00:02:54,341
And then when the queen
catches up to the dog,
72
00:02:54,374 --> 00:02:56,276
the pope is sharing
his sandwich with it.
73
00:02:56,310 --> 00:02:57,544
That would actually be a...
74
00:02:57,578 --> 00:02:59,012
an amazing romantic comedy,
you know?
75
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:03,450
This summer, Frankie's breaking
one vow for another.
76
00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:07,087
But let's make like a fugitive
and move on to Mexico.
77
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,189
It's like Canada,
but with hot sauce.
78
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:11,658
Over the years,
Mexico has become synonymous
79
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:12,993
with drug cartels
80
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,696
and the lengths that they'll go
to stay in power.
81
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:16,964
But now, it looks like
82
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:19,600
they've traded their triggers
for TikToks.
83
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:22,536
TikTok's algorithm has made
many things go viral,
84
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:25,539
from the latest dance craze,
to fun editing software,
85
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,941
to laugh-out-loud memes.
86
00:03:27,975 --> 00:03:31,512
But one disturbing trend
surfacing is cartel content.
87
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:33,614
Experts are warning
many clips on the service
88
00:03:33,647 --> 00:03:36,650
are glamorizing drug culture,
especially during a year
89
00:03:36,683 --> 00:03:39,019
where the murder rate
in Mexico is supposed
90
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,721
to reach an all-time high.
91
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:42,055
? ?
92
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:50,531
NEWSWOMAN 2: Where are a lot
of these criminal organizations,
93
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:52,332
in the past,
they used to show clips
94
00:03:52,366 --> 00:03:55,702
of strength and violence,
like murders or beheadings.
95
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:57,304
And they've slowly changed
their strategy
96
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,773
to show more
glamorous, flashy things
97
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:01,542
and luxurious lifestyles.
98
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,878
That's making things a little
bit more appealing to the youth.
99
00:04:04,912 --> 00:04:08,282
Yeah, of course
the luxury lifestyles
100
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:11,618
and tigers are gonna be more
appealing than showing murders.
101
00:04:11,652 --> 00:04:13,220
But at some point,
102
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:16,023
you're gonna have to tell the
recruits what their real job is.
103
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,591
All right, dude.
Thanks so much
104
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:21,061
for letting me sign up
to the Sinaloa Cartel, man.
105
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,930
So, like, when are we doing
the party boat?
106
00:04:22,963 --> 00:04:25,132
Aah! First things first.
107
00:04:25,165 --> 00:04:27,501
You got
to chop off that man's head.
108
00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:29,036
Uh, okay.
109
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,271
And then the party boat
afterwards?
110
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:33,173
We'll see if there's time.
111
00:04:33,207 --> 00:04:35,876
But yo, man, this story
should not be a surprise.
112
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:39,713
This is what happens
with every social media app.
113
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:42,649
First, people use it to connect
with people and have fun.
114
00:04:42,683 --> 00:04:45,786
Then, creepy men use it
to send dick picks.
115
00:04:45,819 --> 00:04:47,354
Then, it becomes
a recruitment tool
116
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:49,256
for extremists and criminals.
117
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,859
And finally, they promise
to fix the platform,
118
00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:54,761
but they just end up adding
a "stories" function.
119
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:57,164
And we're all like "Yay!"
120
00:04:57,197 --> 00:04:59,266
By the way,
can you imagine the pressure
121
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,836
of being the Sinaloa Cartel's
social media guy?
122
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:05,172
Hey, everyone,
please like and subscribe.
123
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:06,673
Seriously, though,
like and subscribe.
124
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:08,208
They have my family, man.
125
00:05:08,242 --> 00:05:10,110
So I don't think
anything is gonna change here.
126
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,411
And you know what?
127
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:13,046
I think cartels
getting on social media
128
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,181
is actually a good idea.
129
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:16,183
Yeah, I know, I know.
Hear me out.
130
00:05:16,216 --> 00:05:19,119
Because it might get
the cartels out of the drug game
131
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,755
and into
the sponsored content game.
132
00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:23,557
They're just gonna be
having meetings like,
133
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,158
"Oh, Patron,
we're ready to smuggle the rest
134
00:05:25,192 --> 00:05:26,693
of that cocaine
across the border."
135
00:05:26,727 --> 00:05:30,797
"Are you crazy? And lose
our deal with Fenty? Never!"
136
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:33,534
Now, of course,
there is really only one story
137
00:05:33,567 --> 00:05:36,870
that everyone is talking about,
all over the world.
138
00:05:36,904 --> 00:05:38,238
COVID-19.
139
00:05:38,272 --> 00:05:40,607
And, yes, it's still real,
140
00:05:40,641 --> 00:05:44,444
even though people are all sick
of talking about it.
141
00:05:44,478 --> 00:05:46,346
It's like how white people
feel about racism.
142
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:48,115
Now, there are some places
in the world
143
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,684
where the coronavirus situation
is improving.
144
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:52,019
Yeah, great news.
145
00:05:52,052 --> 00:05:54,821
Australia celebrated today
as "Freedom Day,"
146
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,457
when restrictions
in most parts of the country
147
00:05:57,491 --> 00:06:00,627
were lifted for the first time
in months.
148
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:02,729
And now most of their success
has been attributed
149
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:04,998
to stopping interstate travel.
150
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:08,101
Unlike the U.S., Where they
shut down schools in New York,
151
00:06:08,135 --> 00:06:09,703
but then allow people
to travel to Miami,
152
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:12,139
lick stranger's faces
in the club and then come back.
153
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:15,175
In Europe, France and Germany
have announced
154
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:17,077
that they're expanding
their lockdowns
155
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:19,746
as cases have continued
to surge.
156
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:21,281
In fact, it's gotten so bad
157
00:06:21,315 --> 00:06:24,852
that even Sweden
is now on lockdown
158
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:28,589
after admitting that its
hands-off approach didn't work.
159
00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:30,724
Yeah. This whole time,
they were telling the world,
160
00:06:30,757 --> 00:06:34,094
"We trust our people to make the
right decisions for themselves."
161
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:36,463
And corona was like,
"I also trust your people
162
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,999
to make the right decisions
for me."
163
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:40,767
As for here
in the United States,
164
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:45,572
COVID-19 has finally struck
its least surprising victim yet.
165
00:06:45,606 --> 00:06:48,909
The coronavirus has again hit
President Trump's inner circle.
166
00:06:48,942 --> 00:06:51,478
This time, it's his personal
attorney Rudy Giuliani
167
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:53,013
who was admitted yesterday
168
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:55,716
to Georgetown University
Medical Center in Washington.
169
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,751
NEWSWOMAN: Rudy Giuliani
appeared on television
170
00:06:57,784 --> 00:07:01,421
Sunday morning claiming
President Trump's fight
171
00:07:01,455 --> 00:07:04,558
to overturn the election results
was making progress.
172
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:07,194
Just hours later,
the president revealed
173
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:10,631
that Giuliani tested positive
for COVID-19.
174
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:13,000
He spoke in Arizona, Georgia
175
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:15,769
and Michigan,
often without covering his face.
176
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,905
I don't want you to do this
if you feel uncomfortable.
177
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,140
But would you be comfortable
taking your mask off
178
00:07:20,174 --> 00:07:22,609
so that people could hear you
more clearly?
179
00:07:22,643 --> 00:07:24,344
Can-can you hear me now?
180
00:07:24,378 --> 00:07:28,749
Man, that woman did not want
to take off her mask.
181
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:30,617
Did you see her?
She was like,
182
00:07:30,651 --> 00:07:32,719
"Mother(bleep),
I can see the corona on you.
183
00:07:32,753 --> 00:07:34,221
Get out of here
with that shit!"
184
00:07:34,254 --> 00:07:37,624
So, yes, Rudy Giuliani
has tested positive
185
00:07:37,658 --> 00:07:39,560
for the coronavirus.
186
00:07:39,593 --> 00:07:42,763
Although, he is suing
to have that result overturned,
187
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,064
but for now,
it doesn't look good.
188
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:45,666
And the truth is
189
00:07:45,699 --> 00:07:48,569
that Rudy has only got himself
to blame for this.
190
00:07:48,602 --> 00:07:50,270
I mean, this dude was going
all over the country,
191
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:51,772
refusing to wear a mask.
192
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,106
What do you expect?
193
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:54,808
If I go around licking
car windshields,
194
00:07:54,842 --> 00:07:56,944
I can't be shocked
in I get bird flu.
195
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:59,780
Or if I go around drinking
at bars until 3:00 a.m.,
196
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,982
I can't be surprised
when I home with yo mama.
197
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:04,852
Oh!
198
00:08:04,885 --> 00:08:06,753
And as much as you might have
some Schadenfreude
199
00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:10,224
about this thing,
Rudy Giuliani testing positive
200
00:08:10,257 --> 00:08:15,195
for COVID-19 is a terrifying
new development.
201
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:16,830
Because you realize,
up until now,
202
00:08:16,864 --> 00:08:19,800
we didn't even think
that dead guys could get corona.
203
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:24,204
But look, we all wish
Rudy Giuliani a speedy recovery.
204
00:08:24,238 --> 00:08:26,540
I want him
to get back to the days
205
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:28,442
when his hair was
melting off of his head.
206
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:29,776
Nobody wants to make jokes
207
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:31,645
about Rudy having
a deadly disease.
208
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:33,981
What we want is to make jokes
209
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:37,484
about how Rudy farted on camera
at an election hearing.
210
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:39,820
Like full-on trumpet blast.
211
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,355
This happened in Michigan
on Wednesday,
212
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:43,724
and I'm pretty sure
that you will you hear it,
213
00:08:43,757 --> 00:08:45,726
but you will definitely know it
214
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:47,995
the moment when it happens
215
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:51,465
by watching the face of
the woman sitting next to him.
216
00:08:51,498 --> 00:08:53,634
I'm just hoping to get an
answer to the other questions
217
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,737
about Mr. Barr and others who
have disproven a lot of...
218
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:58,138
-Representative... -GIULIANI:
I gave you the answer.
219
00:08:58,172 --> 00:08:59,473
-...do you have a point
of order? -The answer that
220
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:00,541
I gave you is, they didn't
bother to interview
221
00:09:00,574 --> 00:09:02,042
-a single witness.
-(wind breaking)
222
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:04,578
Just like you, they don't want
to know the truth.
223
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:06,547
Well, you probably
know the truth.
224
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:09,082
I'm worried about their
not wanting to know the truth.
225
00:09:09,116 --> 00:09:11,285
(laughing)
226
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:12,653
Oh, man...
227
00:09:12,686 --> 00:09:15,622
oh, man, the look...
the look that she gave him.
228
00:09:15,656 --> 00:09:16,957
You know that look
she gave him like:
229
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:19,526
I knew I should have worn
a face mask around you,
230
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,128
you smelly bitch.
231
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:22,763
And it was so loud!
232
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:24,865
It sounded like his butt
was demanding a recount
233
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,133
of his lunch.
234
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:28,869
Although to be fair,
that fart is no worse
235
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,671
than any
of the other legal arguments
236
00:09:30,704 --> 00:09:32,539
Trump's campaign
has made so far.
237
00:09:32,573 --> 00:09:35,309
In fact, it's entirely possible
that that fart was part
238
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,344
of Rudy's legal strategy,
you know?
239
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:38,846
Everyone in the room
is gonna be like:
240
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:40,547
(coughing):
Oh, God, all right, fine,
241
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:42,549
yeah, yeah, just...
Trump is president forever.
242
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:43,951
Just don't do that again.
Please.
243
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:45,452
Trump is president forever.
244
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:47,120
And before you say, "No, Trevor,
245
00:09:47,154 --> 00:09:49,957
it's never good to fart
during a dramatic hearing,"
246
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:52,359
let me remind you that it works
247
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:55,462
in all the best
courtroom dramas.
248
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:57,631
-You want answers?
-I want the truth!
249
00:09:57,664 --> 00:09:59,833
You can't handle the truth!
250
00:09:59,867 --> 00:10:02,703
(farting)
251
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:06,507
(farting stops)
252
00:10:07,674 --> 00:10:08,942
Cinematic genius.
253
00:10:08,976 --> 00:10:10,644
All right,
we're gonna take a quick break,
254
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:13,146
but when we come back,
we'll talk about how Georgia
255
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:15,082
is on everybody's mind.
256
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:18,385
And then we'll look
at the year's best in music.
257
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:18,485
Stick around.
258
00:10:21,587 --> 00:10:23,622
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
259
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:28,327
On January 20, Joe Biden,
the boomer with the Gen Z teeth,
260
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,730
will be sworn in as the next
president of the United States.
261
00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:35,234
But whether he'll be able
to get anything done
262
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:38,971
depends on whether the Democrats
have a majority in the Senate.
263
00:10:39,004 --> 00:10:42,174
And that depends
on what happens in Georgia
264
00:10:42,207 --> 00:10:43,609
one month from now.
265
00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:46,445
So let's check in
on the Peach State
266
00:10:46,478 --> 00:10:49,581
with a special edition
of Votegasm 2020.
267
00:10:49,615 --> 00:10:51,517
Yes, it's still going.
268
00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,585
? ?
269
00:10:57,423 --> 00:10:59,525
Let's talk
about the United States Senate.
270
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:03,162
It's the home of the two
least intimidating street gangs.
271
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:05,564
And right now
the future of the Senate
272
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:08,601
is on the line in Georgia,
where Republican incumbents
273
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:11,503
Kelly Lafleur and David Perdue
are both facing
274
00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:14,340
tough Democratic challenges
in runoff elections.
275
00:11:14,373 --> 00:11:17,042
So to give Lafleur and Perdue
a boost,
276
00:11:17,076 --> 00:11:19,545
the GOP is pulling out
its biggest gun,
277
00:11:19,578 --> 00:11:22,081
Donald "Jangle Fats" Trump.
278
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:23,916
NEWSWOMAN:
All eyes on Georgia.
279
00:11:23,949 --> 00:11:25,918
Those two critical
Senate runoffs heating up,
280
00:11:25,951 --> 00:11:27,920
the control of the Senate
at stake.
281
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,889
President Trump hosted
an outdoor rally in Georgia
282
00:11:30,923 --> 00:11:33,292
in support
of the two Republican senators
283
00:11:33,325 --> 00:11:35,494
locked in a special
election battle.
284
00:11:35,527 --> 00:11:38,264
The rally in Valdosta, Georgia,
was the first one
285
00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:40,633
since the November election,
and it was very important,
286
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:44,069
as Republicans try to keep
the Senate in their control.
287
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,838
At the urging
of Kelly and David,
288
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,540
my administration
took historic action to protect
289
00:11:48,574 --> 00:11:50,743
growers of Georgia blueberries,
290
00:11:50,776 --> 00:11:53,112
-peppers, squash and cucumbers.
-(man yells)
291
00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:55,247
Who gro...
who does cucumbers around here?
292
00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:56,582
'Cause I like cucumbers.
293
00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:58,417
-Can you... I'm the only one.
-(cheering)
294
00:11:58,450 --> 00:12:00,486
I like cucumber.
295
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:01,620
(laughing)
296
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:03,455
Yo, guys,
Trump doesn't care anymore.
297
00:12:03,489 --> 00:12:05,791
I mean, like, he even cares
less, but he doesn't care...
298
00:12:05,824 --> 00:12:08,427
He'll just say whatever pops
into his mind now.
299
00:12:08,460 --> 00:12:10,896
Who likes cucumbers?
Who likes cucumbers?
300
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:12,298
I'm the only one.
301
00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:14,466
They've got that green skin.
302
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,136
But it's bumpy.
It's so green, so bumpy,
303
00:12:17,169 --> 00:12:18,771
like it's got warts.
304
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:22,007
I had a wart once,
but it got removed.
305
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:25,077
I wanted to put it
in a little jar,
306
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:26,946
but they wouldn't let me.
307
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:29,882
It would have been
my best friend.
308
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,817
And look, of course
Trump loves cucumbers.
309
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:33,485
That's no surprise.
I mean, yeah,
310
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,654
he prefers them pickled
and surrounded by a Big Mac,
311
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:37,823
but still, that's a cucumber.
312
00:12:37,856 --> 00:12:39,892
So look, clearly,
Donald Trump is only gonna be
313
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,628
of limited help,
but the GOP senators
314
00:12:42,661 --> 00:12:45,598
haven't been able
to help themselves much, either.
315
00:12:45,631 --> 00:12:47,733
You see, both of them
are in hot water
316
00:12:47,766 --> 00:12:50,569
over big stock trades
that they made
317
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,072
during the coronavirus pandemic.
318
00:12:53,105 --> 00:12:55,274
And at two debates yesterday,
319
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:57,576
neither of them handled
the issue well.
320
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:01,513
First of all, Senator Perdue
simply skipped his debate,
321
00:13:01,547 --> 00:13:04,416
leaving his opponent Jon Ossoff
to debate an empty lectern.
322
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:06,352
Which actually put
extra pressure on Ossoff,
323
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,520
because imagine if you lost
to a lectern.
324
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:10,689
Like, the voters are just like,
"Oh, I don't know.
325
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,558
I guess I like
the strong silent type?"
326
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,426
And while Lafleur did show up
at her debate,
327
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:18,330
after this exchange, oh,
she might wish that she hadn't.
328
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:21,200
Senator,
should members of Congress
329
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:24,603
be barred from trading stocks?
330
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:28,440
Look, what's at stake here
in this election
331
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,409
is the American dream.
332
00:13:30,442 --> 00:13:32,278
That's what's under attack.
333
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,313
When they attack me for a lie,
334
00:13:34,346 --> 00:13:39,318
a left-wing media lie, conspired
with the Democrats by...
335
00:13:39,351 --> 00:13:41,053
this is an attack
on every single Georgian
336
00:13:41,086 --> 00:13:44,223
who gets up every day
to work hard,
337
00:13:44,256 --> 00:13:47,526
to provide a better life
for their family,
338
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,862
who wants to live
the American dream.
339
00:13:49,895 --> 00:13:53,565
Wow. Robot Ann Coulter
nailed that.
340
00:13:53,599 --> 00:13:55,434
Because if you're trying
to dodge a question,
341
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:58,337
you just pivot
to the American dream.
342
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:01,407
She's got to be a role model
for all the kids in Georgia.
343
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,944
Billy, did you flush
a cherry bomb down the toilet?
344
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:07,279
Look, Mr. Johnson,
what's at stake here
345
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,181
is the American dream.
346
00:14:09,214 --> 00:14:11,350
That's what we got
to be talking about.
347
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:13,552
You're right, Billy.
You're right.
348
00:14:13,585 --> 00:14:15,788
And you got to love
how shady rich people
349
00:14:15,821 --> 00:14:18,557
always try to act
like attacking them
350
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:20,326
is attacking everybody.
351
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:23,796
If you take away
my helicopter parking spot,
352
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:26,532
you're taking
helicopter parking spots away
353
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:28,634
from every American
in this country.
354
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:30,436
Now, let's be clear.
Even though Georgia
355
00:14:30,469 --> 00:14:32,271
went narrowly for Joe Biden
this year,
356
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:34,974
it is still a very red state.
357
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:37,843
And the Republican candidates
do have an advantage.
358
00:14:37,876 --> 00:14:41,981
But ironically, Trump
might be hurting their chances
359
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:43,449
more than he helps.
360
00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:45,751
For Republicans looking at
Georgia, there are questions now
361
00:14:45,784 --> 00:14:47,920
about whether
the president's baseless claims
362
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:50,489
of a stolen election
could actually depress turnout
363
00:14:50,522 --> 00:14:52,191
for those
really important runoffs.
364
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:53,959
When the president
was down here in Valdosta,
365
00:14:53,993 --> 00:14:56,262
uh, in a crowd that attracted
thousands of people,
366
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:58,097
he told them
conflicting messages.
367
00:14:58,130 --> 00:15:00,299
He said the election is rigged,
368
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:02,368
hey, to go out and vote
January 5
369
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:03,636
for these two senators.
370
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:05,104
So what message does that...
371
00:15:05,137 --> 00:15:07,473
does that leave these
loyal supporters of his with?
372
00:15:07,506 --> 00:15:08,774
It leaves many of them confused.
373
00:15:08,807 --> 00:15:10,576
NEWSWOMAN: This is
exactly the kind of thing
374
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:12,044
that Republicans
are concerned about.
375
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:13,746
They are worried that
the president's message
376
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:15,314
on election fraud
could essentially backfire
377
00:15:15,347 --> 00:15:16,815
for Republicans
378
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:19,618
if he convinces voters
that it's not worth their time
379
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:22,054
to go out and cast their ballot
on January 5,
380
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:23,889
because the fix is in.
381
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:26,191
That's right.
Because they indulge
382
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:28,928
Donald Trump's bullshit claims
of fraud,
383
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:32,564
Republicans might have
suppressed their vote so much
384
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:36,101
that they could lose
their Senate majority.
385
00:15:36,135 --> 00:15:39,204
In fact, you might say
that Trump has put Republicans
386
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:41,674
in quite the pickle.
387
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:44,276
-TRUMP: I like you cucumbers.
-My man!
388
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,378
All right, when we come back,
Jaboukie Young-white
389
00:15:46,412 --> 00:15:48,480
wraps up the year in music.
390
00:15:48,514 --> 00:15:51,216
And Method Man joins us
on the show.
391
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:51,317
Stick around.
392
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:55,754
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
393
00:15:55,787 --> 00:15:59,057
So, 2020 is almost over.
394
00:15:59,090 --> 00:16:01,126
And we can all agree
that this has been
395
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:02,828
a pretty perfect year.
396
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:05,864
So much great stuff happened,
and nothing bad.
397
00:16:05,897 --> 00:16:08,300
And for the rest of the month,
we'll be remembering
398
00:16:08,333 --> 00:16:10,502
all of 2020's best moments.
399
00:16:10,535 --> 00:16:12,938
Today, Jaboukie Young-White
takes a look back
400
00:16:12,971 --> 00:16:15,173
at the year in music.
401
00:16:15,207 --> 00:16:17,409
? ?
402
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:25,717
Music. It's like podcasts,
but with beats.
403
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:27,085
And in the year 2020--
404
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:29,955
when the world was ravaged
by a deadly virus,
405
00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:32,390
music was a place of comfort.
406
00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:34,759
But that doesn't mean
music wasn't affected.
407
00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:36,862
Tours were cancelled.
408
00:16:36,895 --> 00:16:40,499
Bass players were forced to wash
their hands for the first time.
409
00:16:40,532 --> 00:16:42,467
Even music's
biggest awards shows
410
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,736
were forced to have
virtual performances.
411
00:16:44,769 --> 00:16:47,038
Band members had to play
six feet apart.
412
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:49,441
Lady Gaga was forced to perform
as the character Dot
413
00:16:49,474 --> 00:16:50,742
from A Bug's Life.
414
00:16:50,775 --> 00:16:53,478
We stand Dot. Gay icon.
415
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:55,213
But coronavirus
wasn't the only thing
416
00:16:55,247 --> 00:16:57,082
tearing America apart in 2020.
417
00:16:57,115 --> 00:16:59,351
America had
a real racial reckoning,
418
00:16:59,384 --> 00:17:01,119
and music artists
used their platform
419
00:17:01,153 --> 00:17:02,420
to call for change
420
00:17:02,454 --> 00:17:04,623
and post little black squares
on Instagram.
421
00:17:04,656 --> 00:17:08,126
But one band in particular
got ultra woke.
422
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,662
NEWSWOMAN: Recently,
country band Lady Antebellum
423
00:17:10,695 --> 00:17:13,799
changing its name to Lady A
424
00:17:13,832 --> 00:17:15,367
but now in a legal dispute
425
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,369
with a Black soul artist,
Anita White.
426
00:17:17,402 --> 00:17:18,737
WHITE:
I have built this name
427
00:17:18,770 --> 00:17:21,306
for decades
before they were born.
428
00:17:21,339 --> 00:17:24,209
And I've been building it,
and I'm an independent artist.
429
00:17:24,242 --> 00:17:27,946
We grind every day
to do what we do.
430
00:17:27,979 --> 00:17:29,848
And Black folks,
431
00:17:29,881 --> 00:17:32,417
indigenous people of color,
of this land,
432
00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:34,619
we grind even harder.
433
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:37,522
Wow. Okay, that is so messed up.
434
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:39,591
First of all, Black people
didn't hear about you
435
00:17:39,624 --> 00:17:41,526
until you tried stealing
that Black lady's name.
436
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,663
Second of all, if you're going
to actually change your name,
437
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:47,165
change your name.
438
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:49,267
Don't just abbreviate
the problematic part.
439
00:17:49,301 --> 00:17:52,270
Like, for example, my name
used to be Tim Plantation,
440
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:53,638
but I changed the bad word,
441
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:56,408
and now
it's Jaboukie Plantation.
442
00:17:56,441 --> 00:17:58,510
But many musicians
did properly honor
443
00:17:58,543 --> 00:18:00,045
the struggle
against police brutality.
444
00:18:00,078 --> 00:18:02,981
Artists marched in the streets
with Black Lives Matter
445
00:18:03,014 --> 00:18:05,050
or hosted benefit concerts
to raise money.
446
00:18:05,083 --> 00:18:06,618
But if you ask me,
447
00:18:06,651 --> 00:18:09,054
the thing that was
the greatest support
448
00:18:09,087 --> 00:18:11,656
for Black lives this year
was this.
449
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:14,059
This record
450
00:18:14,092 --> 00:18:16,428
is in honor
451
00:18:16,461 --> 00:18:19,064
of George Floyd,
452
00:18:19,097 --> 00:18:22,767
and I really hope
we can see more unity
453
00:18:22,801 --> 00:18:24,169
and more peace.
454
00:18:24,202 --> 00:18:26,438
So, shout-out to his family.
455
00:18:26,471 --> 00:18:27,739
(echoing):
? I have a dream. ?
456
00:18:27,772 --> 00:18:30,675
? ?
457
00:18:33,945 --> 00:18:35,580
Of course,
you can't talk about 2020
458
00:18:35,614 --> 00:18:38,550
without referencing
the smash hit "WAP"
459
00:18:38,583 --> 00:18:41,853
by Cardi B
featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
460
00:18:41,887 --> 00:18:44,256
Now, I can't get the rights
to play that song
461
00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:45,557
because of basic cable,
462
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:47,793
but I was able
to get into a studio
463
00:18:47,826 --> 00:18:51,096
and record a version of my own
that gets the vibe across.
464
00:18:51,129 --> 00:18:54,299
? There's a crow
in this blouse ?
465
00:18:54,332 --> 00:18:55,801
? There's
a crow in this blouse ?
466
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:59,738
? You're messing
with a wet-ass pussy. ?
467
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:02,307
Mm! I love that song.
468
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:03,675
I never...
469
00:19:03,708 --> 00:19:07,512
I mean, never
have I ever been so excited
470
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:09,548
to see how Kidz Bop
covers this song.
471
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,550
So much has happened.
Wait, okay, what else?
472
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:12,784
What else, what else, what else?
473
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,887
Beyoncé.
(chuckles)
474
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,689
Beyoncé released a visual album.
475
00:19:17,722 --> 00:19:20,592
There was also
a music star baby boom,
476
00:19:20,625 --> 00:19:22,761
which means that we're,
like, 20 years out
477
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:23,895
from some really good music.
478
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:26,498
And Taylor Swift went folk.
479
00:19:26,531 --> 00:19:28,033
Taylor Swift's breaking records
480
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:30,869
with her surprise new album,
Folklore,
481
00:19:30,902 --> 00:19:34,272
the pop star selling
over 1.3 million albums
482
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:36,107
in just 24 hours.
483
00:19:36,141 --> 00:19:37,542
Yes, Taylor Swift went folk,
484
00:19:37,576 --> 00:19:40,111
which is not as crazy as people
are making it out to be.
485
00:19:40,145 --> 00:19:42,380
She started out
as a country singer.
486
00:19:42,414 --> 00:19:43,815
Folk singers
are just country singers
487
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:45,450
that wear vintage clothing.
488
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:47,819
Now, what would have been crazy
is if Taylor ran
489
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:50,455
as Kanye's VP.
490
00:19:50,489 --> 00:19:53,658
Either way, Folklore was one
of the biggest albums of 2020,
491
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:55,026
and its lead single, "Cardigan,"
492
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:58,330
was streamed
over seven million times
493
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:01,233
on its day of release.
Let's take a listen.
494
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:03,168
? Baby ?
495
00:20:03,201 --> 00:20:04,903
? I've got a wet-ass pussy ?
496
00:20:04,936 --> 00:20:07,906
? Get me a cardigan
for this wet-ass pussy. ?
497
00:20:07,939 --> 00:20:09,441
(pops lips)
498
00:20:09,474 --> 00:20:10,876
Also couldn't afford
the rights to that,
499
00:20:10,909 --> 00:20:12,811
but it is a classic.
500
00:20:12,844 --> 00:20:14,246
But musicians this year
501
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,181
didn't just give us comfort
in times of need.
502
00:20:16,214 --> 00:20:19,251
Some of them
literally helped save lives.
503
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:20,819
People on social media noticed
504
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:24,356
that Dolly Parton was listed
as one of the sponsors
505
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:27,993
of Moderna's
new coronavirus vaccine
506
00:20:28,026 --> 00:20:29,427
in a preliminary report.
507
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:31,530
Parton announced in April,
you may remember,
508
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,331
that she was giving
a million dollars
509
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:36,902
to Vanderbilt University
in Nashville for COVID research.
510
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:40,305
Well, some of that money
went to an early-stage trial
511
00:20:40,338 --> 00:20:42,307
of the Moderna vaccine.
512
00:20:42,340 --> 00:20:46,011
Yes, Dolly Parton invented
the coronavirus vaccine,
513
00:20:46,044 --> 00:20:48,346
which is a crazy plot twist.
514
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:52,217
That would be like if Dr. Fauci
dropped an album and it slapped.
515
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:54,419
You know what?
To be honest, though,
516
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:56,154
I would trust
the Dolly Parton vaccine
517
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:57,622
over a Dr. Fauci vaccine
518
00:20:57,656 --> 00:21:01,460
because Dolly Parton has been
a gay icon for decades.
519
00:21:01,493 --> 00:21:03,228
Fauci's kind of new
on the scene.
520
00:21:03,261 --> 00:21:04,796
Until he's someone's inspo
521
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:06,398
for their RuPaul's Drag Race
outfit,
522
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:09,134
he has a lot of work to do,
okay?
523
00:21:09,167 --> 00:21:12,304
So, even though 2020
was a dumpster fire of a year,
524
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:14,806
I was so entertained by music,
525
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,510
and I am very excited
to see what 2021 has in store.
526
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:20,645
Will Britney finally be free?
527
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:22,814
Will Rihanna release an album
or just give us
528
00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:24,816
another line of things
that we don't really need?
529
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:26,585
Fenty falafel.
530
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:28,787
And will The Weeknd admit
531
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:31,356
that he's actually
just my boss, Trevor?
532
00:21:31,389 --> 00:21:32,757
I'm excited to find out.
533
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:34,326
Now, to play us out,
534
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,862
the woman
who helped cure coronavirus,
535
00:21:36,895 --> 00:21:38,463
Dolly Parton,
536
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:42,100
playing her 1974 hit "Jolene."
537
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:45,904
? Jolene, Jo,
I got a wet-ass pussy ?
538
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:47,372
? Wet-ass pussy ?
539
00:21:47,405 --> 00:21:52,377
? I got a wet-ass pussy ?
540
00:21:52,410 --> 00:21:54,479
? Jolene. ?
541
00:21:54,513 --> 00:21:55,914
Thank you so much for that,
Jaboukie. All right,
542
00:21:55,947 --> 00:21:57,349
stick around,
because when we come back,
543
00:21:57,382 --> 00:22:01,086
Method Man tells us about
his brand-new Marvel podcast,
544
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,156
and he might give us a spoiler
545
00:22:04,189 --> 00:22:06,124
for Power Book.
(gasps)
546
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:06,224
You don't want to miss it.
547
00:22:08,859 --> 00:22:10,394
Welcome back to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
548
00:22:10,427 --> 00:22:13,230
Earlier today, I spoke
with Grammy Award-winning rapper
549
00:22:13,263 --> 00:22:15,199
and actor Method Man.
550
00:22:15,232 --> 00:22:18,001
We talked about his transition
from rap to acting,
551
00:22:18,035 --> 00:22:19,937
his new podcast
about comic books
552
00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:21,572
and so much more.
553
00:22:21,605 --> 00:22:24,041
Having been through
pretrial motions with you,
554
00:22:24,074 --> 00:22:26,910
I can only imagine how intense
555
00:22:26,944 --> 00:22:29,580
this jury selection
is going to get.
556
00:22:29,613 --> 00:22:32,316
May I suggest some decorum here
557
00:22:32,349 --> 00:22:35,085
so that neither of you ends up
with a Batson charge
558
00:22:35,118 --> 00:22:36,987
or in contempt.
559
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:40,657
If the U.S. attorney
can remain civil, then so can I.
560
00:22:40,691 --> 00:22:41,758
It'll be a challenge,
Your Honor,
561
00:22:41,792 --> 00:22:43,227
but I will do my best.
562
00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:44,595
Thank you.
563
00:22:45,629 --> 00:22:47,598
? It's about to go down. ?
564
00:22:47,631 --> 00:22:49,766
Cliff "Method Man" Smith,
565
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,402
welcome to The Daily
Social Distancing Show.
566
00:22:52,436 --> 00:22:54,972
Ah, well, thank you
for having me, Mr. Noah.
567
00:22:55,005 --> 00:22:57,474
Oh, man, this-this
is truly an honor for me.
568
00:22:57,507 --> 00:23:01,445
I spent many, many years of my,
uh, of my-my high school life
569
00:23:01,478 --> 00:23:04,014
learning every single lyric
of yours.
570
00:23:04,047 --> 00:23:06,550
-(chuckles)
-And, uh, and then,
571
00:23:06,583 --> 00:23:08,252
and then you went
and abandoned me
572
00:23:08,285 --> 00:23:10,153
and became a major acting star.
573
00:23:10,187 --> 00:23:11,488
I feel like
I'm personally aggrieved.
574
00:23:11,521 --> 00:23:13,857
(both laugh)
575
00:23:13,891 --> 00:23:15,692
Well, thank you, sir, thank you.
576
00:23:15,726 --> 00:23:17,394
I think that the transition
has worked for me,
577
00:23:17,427 --> 00:23:19,363
and, um, I'm having fun.
578
00:23:19,396 --> 00:23:21,732
That's the best thing I can...
I can have right now,
579
00:23:21,765 --> 00:23:23,834
-is fun. -Yeah, man.
You're not just having fun.
580
00:23:23,867 --> 00:23:25,202
You're having fun,
and you're successful.
581
00:23:25,235 --> 00:23:27,304
We've seen you in everything
from The Deuce
582
00:23:27,337 --> 00:23:30,374
all the way through to, like,
the best hip-hop videos
583
00:23:30,407 --> 00:23:31,742
and-and movies,
584
00:23:31,775 --> 00:23:35,012
but fans are loving
what you're doing right now
585
00:23:35,045 --> 00:23:36,780
in Power Book II.
586
00:23:36,813 --> 00:23:39,082
talk me through a little bit
of why you think this show
587
00:23:39,116 --> 00:23:41,151
-is sometimes even more popular
than the original. -Um...
588
00:23:41,184 --> 00:23:44,388
I think that people were--
especially after the pandemic--
589
00:23:44,421 --> 00:23:46,390
people were looking
for a nice escape.
590
00:23:46,423 --> 00:23:48,825
And, uh, a lot of people
were familiar
591
00:23:48,859 --> 00:23:51,728
with the original series,
this being a spin-off.
592
00:23:51,762 --> 00:23:54,565
And they were excited to see
where it was going to go,
593
00:23:54,598 --> 00:23:57,534
especially after they killed off
the main character
594
00:23:57,568 --> 00:23:59,970
-in the series finale.
-Right.
595
00:24:00,003 --> 00:24:03,006
So, um, that
along with the anticipation
596
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,576
of having a Mary J. Blige
in the cast,
597
00:24:05,609 --> 00:24:07,778
people were very curious,
598
00:24:07,811 --> 00:24:11,248
and, um, I think Courtney
took great advantage of that.
599
00:24:11,281 --> 00:24:13,784
And, um,
the writing has stepped up,
600
00:24:13,817 --> 00:24:17,654
and the character development
is key in this whole thing,
601
00:24:17,688 --> 00:24:20,857
because if people didn't receive
the new characters well,
602
00:24:20,891 --> 00:24:22,826
then we don't really have
a show.
603
00:24:22,860 --> 00:24:25,896
And, um,
I'm-I'm taking my hat off
604
00:24:25,929 --> 00:24:27,297
and applauding Michael
right now--
605
00:24:27,331 --> 00:24:29,032
Michael Rainey--
for his performance.
606
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:30,234
He is our leading man,
607
00:24:30,267 --> 00:24:33,737
and we are behind him 110%,
brother.
608
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:36,540
-Mary J. Blige.
I mean, the queen. -Yes.
609
00:24:36,573 --> 00:24:38,108
Just the absolute queen.
610
00:24:38,141 --> 00:24:41,144
You two worked together in music
such a long time ago.
611
00:24:41,178 --> 00:24:42,880
Did you ever for a second think
612
00:24:42,913 --> 00:24:44,648
that the next time
you would collaborate
613
00:24:44,681 --> 00:24:47,084
would be on-screen?
614
00:24:47,117 --> 00:24:50,621
Um, no. No, honestly.
I'm just gonna be honest.
615
00:24:50,654 --> 00:24:52,256
I thought
that maybe we'd collaborate
616
00:24:52,289 --> 00:24:53,891
on maybe more records
over the years.
617
00:24:53,924 --> 00:24:55,459
-Right, right.
-Which...
618
00:24:55,492 --> 00:24:56,793
But, um, on-screen,
619
00:24:56,827 --> 00:24:59,129
I-I watched Mary's progression
over the years,
620
00:24:59,162 --> 00:25:00,631
and, um, I have to say
621
00:25:00,664 --> 00:25:02,466
that she embodies
this Monet character
622
00:25:02,499 --> 00:25:03,800
like it was written for her.
623
00:25:03,834 --> 00:25:06,203
It probably was
if you really think about it.
624
00:25:06,236 --> 00:25:08,238
But, um, yeah.
625
00:25:08,272 --> 00:25:09,773
She is such a boss on this show,
626
00:25:09,806 --> 00:25:11,708
just like in real life,
and, um...
627
00:25:11,742 --> 00:25:14,845
Um, I think that people
are very intrigued
628
00:25:14,878 --> 00:25:17,247
by the Tejada family,
and her being the matriarch
629
00:25:17,281 --> 00:25:19,550
of that family
makes it even more intriguing.
630
00:25:19,583 --> 00:25:22,819
You know, one of the things
I-I love about your acting
631
00:25:22,853 --> 00:25:25,689
is that, in many ways,
I feel like you've always had
632
00:25:25,722 --> 00:25:28,425
the ability to craft a story
through your words
633
00:25:28,458 --> 00:25:30,260
and through your expressions
and through your vibe.
634
00:25:30,294 --> 00:25:32,196
I mean, like,
even in your music, like,
635
00:25:32,229 --> 00:25:33,864
you know, every-every song
that I would listen to,
636
00:25:33,897 --> 00:25:37,067
it felt like you were embodying
a different character, you know?
637
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:39,570
You know? Whether it was
in "Da Rockwilder"
638
00:25:39,603 --> 00:25:41,505
or whe-whether it was,
like, you know, like...
639
00:25:41,538 --> 00:25:43,006
like, creeping
through a back window,
640
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,775
silent as a mouse,
y-you know what I mean?
641
00:25:44,808 --> 00:25:46,109
You always had that feeling,
where it was like,
642
00:25:46,143 --> 00:25:47,911
"I'm-I'm embodying
a different character."
643
00:25:47,945 --> 00:25:50,113
Do you feel like acting has
just always been in your bones?
644
00:25:50,147 --> 00:25:51,982
Do you think
you've always had the ability
645
00:25:52,015 --> 00:25:54,384
to shift seamlessly between
different stories
646
00:25:54,418 --> 00:25:55,619
that you're telling?
647
00:25:55,652 --> 00:25:58,155
I think being in entertainment
as a whole
648
00:25:58,188 --> 00:26:00,057
has prepared me
for what I'm doing now.
649
00:26:00,090 --> 00:26:02,693
-especially with the videos that
you were speaking of. -Yeah.
650
00:26:02,726 --> 00:26:05,262
And, um, you know,
I think a lot of it has to do
651
00:26:05,295 --> 00:26:06,930
with charm and personality.
652
00:26:06,964 --> 00:26:08,799
But the-the biggest effort
653
00:26:08,832 --> 00:26:11,802
and the biggest thing
that shows difference is
654
00:26:11,835 --> 00:26:14,605
your dedication
to the art form of it.
655
00:26:14,638 --> 00:26:16,773
Unless you're taking classes,
you know,
656
00:26:16,807 --> 00:26:18,942
you are--
show up to set on-on time,
657
00:26:18,976 --> 00:26:21,945
ready to work, you know,
um, all that plays a part.
658
00:26:21,979 --> 00:26:23,847
And, um, like I said,
659
00:26:23,881 --> 00:26:27,050
being onstage in front
of 40,000 to 50,000 people
660
00:26:27,084 --> 00:26:30,053
and entertaining them
for a hour, hour and a half,
661
00:26:30,087 --> 00:26:32,856
I think I can pull it off
pretty well on a big screen
662
00:26:32,890 --> 00:26:34,358
and a small screen as well.
663
00:26:34,391 --> 00:26:36,293
I mean, um,
there was-- there was a day
664
00:26:36,326 --> 00:26:37,761
when you were trending
on social media,
665
00:26:37,794 --> 00:26:39,897
and I was like, "Aw, man!
What has happened?
666
00:26:39,930 --> 00:26:41,164
-Method Man is trending."
-(laughs)
667
00:26:41,198 --> 00:26:42,699
Whenever you see
a celebrity's name trending,
668
00:26:42,733 --> 00:26:44,101
you're like,
"Aw, man, they died
669
00:26:44,134 --> 00:26:45,869
or they should wish
that they died."
670
00:26:45,903 --> 00:26:47,104
It's always one of the two.
671
00:26:47,137 --> 00:26:50,440
Instead, instead,
it was Method Man at 50
672
00:26:50,474 --> 00:26:52,809
laying thirst traps
that most 22-year-olds
673
00:26:52,843 --> 00:26:54,811
couldn't dream of achieving.
674
00:26:54,845 --> 00:26:58,615
Um, talk me through a little bit
about this-this transformation,
675
00:26:58,649 --> 00:27:02,719
because your-your body
has gone to another level.
676
00:27:02,753 --> 00:27:05,556
-Like, I heard you used
to play video games. -Uh...
677
00:27:05,589 --> 00:27:06,823
-Yeah.
-And then I was like,
678
00:27:06,857 --> 00:27:08,559
"That's-that's not
a video gamer's body."
679
00:27:08,592 --> 00:27:11,094
-(laughs)
-And now, now I hear
680
00:27:11,128 --> 00:27:12,462
that you-you've made a change
in your life
681
00:27:12,496 --> 00:27:14,031
and that's why you look
the way you do.
682
00:27:14,064 --> 00:27:15,866
Well, I appreciate that.
And, yes,
683
00:27:15,899 --> 00:27:17,501
I-I did make a change
in my life.
684
00:27:17,534 --> 00:27:22,606
I decided to... start
to take more care of my body,
685
00:27:22,639 --> 00:27:23,941
as well as my mind.
686
00:27:23,974 --> 00:27:27,644
Um, I felt like if I was going
to improve my mental,
687
00:27:27,678 --> 00:27:29,613
I might as well improve
my physical as well.
688
00:27:29,646 --> 00:27:32,182
And, um, yeah,
it started with me, you know,
689
00:27:32,216 --> 00:27:35,052
just binging video games,
3:00, 4:00 in the morning.
690
00:27:35,085 --> 00:27:37,955
I'm pretty sure you know what
that feels like, my brother.
691
00:27:37,988 --> 00:27:39,623
Yeah. What did you play?
What did you play?
692
00:27:39,656 --> 00:27:42,292
It was a lot of Call of Duty.
Um...
693
00:27:42,326 --> 00:27:44,628
Free-for-All or Team Deathmatch?
What-what was your--
694
00:27:44,661 --> 00:27:45,963
-what was your...
-You know what, it--
695
00:27:45,996 --> 00:27:47,764
We-we were, um, Kill Confirms,
696
00:27:47,798 --> 00:27:50,167
-um, Deathmatch, and, um...
-Okay.
697
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,569
Uh, what's the, uh--
where you get the points?
698
00:27:52,603 --> 00:27:54,438
-"A," "B," and "C." 'Cause
that's... -Oh, yeah. Capture.
699
00:27:54,471 --> 00:27:56,273
-Capture the Flag. Right.
-Capture. Yeah.
700
00:27:56,306 --> 00:27:57,841
And, um, you know,
701
00:27:57,875 --> 00:28:00,510
I-I just started feeling
real loser-ish, you know?
702
00:28:00,544 --> 00:28:02,479
-(laughing) -Um, you know,
you're waking up,
703
00:28:02,512 --> 00:28:04,715
waking up 2:00 in the morning,
can't go back to sleep,
704
00:28:04,748 --> 00:28:07,584
and you're on the couch playing
video games, just eating snacks.
705
00:28:07,618 --> 00:28:10,320
So, I had this gym,
um, subscription.
706
00:28:10,354 --> 00:28:13,090
I had this gym membership, and I
decided to take advantage of it.
707
00:28:13,123 --> 00:28:15,092
And the gym happened to open
at 4:00 a.m.,
708
00:28:15,125 --> 00:28:16,927
-and I haven't looked back
since. -Damn.
709
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,228
I've got a--
I've got a different technique.
710
00:28:18,262 --> 00:28:20,464
What I do is-- I-I play a ton.
711
00:28:20,497 --> 00:28:22,633
And then what I do is,
if I am--
712
00:28:22,666 --> 00:28:24,301
Let's say
if I'm playing Warzone now
713
00:28:24,334 --> 00:28:25,702
and then I-I get kicked
to the Gulag
714
00:28:25,736 --> 00:28:27,204
or I'm waiting for my team
to buy me back,
715
00:28:27,237 --> 00:28:30,541
then what I'll do is
I got to do, like, ten burpees
716
00:28:30,574 --> 00:28:32,175
or I got to do, like,
20 push-ups or I got to--
717
00:28:32,209 --> 00:28:34,978
So, like, every time I respawn,
I got to do something.
718
00:28:35,012 --> 00:28:36,813
I'm not gonna go to the gym
for hours.
719
00:28:36,847 --> 00:28:39,116
But I'll punish myself
for not playing well
720
00:28:39,149 --> 00:28:41,251
-and then, like, just feel
like I'm moving. -(laughs)
721
00:28:41,285 --> 00:28:42,920
I feel like I'm moving.
722
00:28:42,953 --> 00:28:44,788
Um, so, one of the things
723
00:28:44,821 --> 00:28:47,457
that's-that's truly fascinated
me about your career
724
00:28:47,491 --> 00:28:51,028
and affected me, I think,
is that you-you upended the idea
725
00:28:51,061 --> 00:28:53,597
of what a rapper--
and sometimes even a Black man--
726
00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:55,132
is supposed to be interested in.
727
00:28:55,165 --> 00:28:58,335
You know? You're
an avid c-comic book collector.
728
00:28:58,368 --> 00:29:00,437
You were somebody
who was never afraid to read
729
00:29:00,470 --> 00:29:02,039
and expand your mind,
at a time when--
730
00:29:02,072 --> 00:29:04,107
you know, like,
oftentimes in-in hip-hop,
731
00:29:04,141 --> 00:29:07,911
ignorance was celebrated as-as,
like, the be-all and end-all.
732
00:29:07,945 --> 00:29:09,980
But you came from a class and
a school where you were like,
733
00:29:10,013 --> 00:29:11,915
"No, I'm gonna be informed.
I'm gonna read.
734
00:29:11,949 --> 00:29:14,084
"I'm gonna infuse my hip-hop
and my work with this.
735
00:29:14,117 --> 00:29:15,619
"I'm gonna be
a comic book collector.
736
00:29:15,652 --> 00:29:17,621
"There's no--
there's no nerd title to this.
737
00:29:17,654 --> 00:29:19,556
-This is part of who I am."
-Yeah.
738
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:21,925
Is there a reason you did that?
Or-or where did you get
739
00:29:21,959 --> 00:29:24,328
the confidence to do that,
in a world and an industry
740
00:29:24,361 --> 00:29:26,330
that always wanted
to put people in one box?
741
00:29:26,363 --> 00:29:30,467
Well, it's funny, because I-I am
a result of my environment,
742
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,769
a product of my environment.
743
00:29:32,803 --> 00:29:35,305
And, um, you know,
the comic book thing
744
00:29:35,339 --> 00:29:37,207
played a major part
in my wordplay
745
00:29:37,241 --> 00:29:40,544
because, you know, it
basically taught me how to read.
746
00:29:40,577 --> 00:29:42,546
And some of the words in there
you were forced to look up
747
00:29:42,579 --> 00:29:44,915
in the dictionary, like you did,
the Wu-Tang words,
748
00:29:44,948 --> 00:29:46,917
and when you couldn't find them,
you knew
749
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:48,819
-that we were making this shit
up. Like, any... -(laughs)
750
00:29:48,852 --> 00:29:51,154
(laughs)
Anyway,
751
00:29:51,188 --> 00:29:54,525
I mean, it just-- it-it gave me
a sense of a moral code,
752
00:29:54,558 --> 00:29:58,161
as well as, you know,
a vast vocabulary,
753
00:29:58,195 --> 00:29:59,563
especially for writing.
754
00:29:59,596 --> 00:30:02,332
And the beauty of, you know,
me being Black
755
00:30:02,366 --> 00:30:04,635
and growing up
in these neighborhoods,
756
00:30:04,668 --> 00:30:07,104
I could be around some
of the toughest guys
757
00:30:07,137 --> 00:30:10,507
and they still love Thor,
the Hulk, Spider-Man.
758
00:30:10,541 --> 00:30:12,776
-Right. -You know?
And it was never an issue
759
00:30:12,809 --> 00:30:14,778
of me being a geek or a nerd.
760
00:30:14,811 --> 00:30:16,446
It was just that,
"Oh, wow. You know.
761
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,282
Let me check that book out
real fast, you know?"
762
00:30:18,315 --> 00:30:20,217
So I never had that stigma.
763
00:30:20,250 --> 00:30:22,219
So it was never any issue
for me
764
00:30:22,252 --> 00:30:25,055
to put comic books
in the forefront of my rhymes
765
00:30:25,088 --> 00:30:27,057
or-or lifestyle,
you know what I mean?
766
00:30:27,090 --> 00:30:29,226
It was just a-an easy thing
for me.
767
00:30:29,259 --> 00:30:30,627
Very easy.
768
00:30:30,661 --> 00:30:32,262
Um, I know
you've got a new podcast out,
769
00:30:32,296 --> 00:30:34,631
where you're talking
to all-all kinds of celebrities
770
00:30:34,665 --> 00:30:37,701
and-and, you know, comic book
geeks and nerds alike,
771
00:30:37,734 --> 00:30:39,436
where we're celebrating
the art form.
772
00:30:39,469 --> 00:30:42,539
Talk me through that and-and
what you love about it so much.
773
00:30:42,573 --> 00:30:44,141
Yeah, the Marvel/Method.
774
00:30:44,174 --> 00:30:48,612
Um, this was, like... years
in the making, in my mind.
775
00:30:48,645 --> 00:30:51,215
Because I kept pining for,
you know,
776
00:30:51,248 --> 00:30:53,884
just-just letting people know
my love for comic books
777
00:30:53,917 --> 00:30:56,253
and how Marvel shaped
who I am today
778
00:30:56,286 --> 00:30:59,523
and how it a-- how, you know,
it really had an effect
779
00:30:59,556 --> 00:31:01,458
on my lifestyle as a child.
780
00:31:01,491 --> 00:31:03,660
So, for these guys to come
781
00:31:03,694 --> 00:31:06,597
and offer me a podcast
talking about books
782
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:09,299
with people that are
in the industry like me,
783
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,902
that's, like, the gift
that keeps on giving.
784
00:31:11,935 --> 00:31:14,004
And I learned so much.
785
00:31:14,037 --> 00:31:16,073
Correlation between comic books
and life
786
00:31:16,106 --> 00:31:18,475
with a lot of these stars,
like, who they are today.
787
00:31:18,508 --> 00:31:20,177
You can see it.
And like I said,
788
00:31:20,210 --> 00:31:21,845
there's a moral code
in these books,
789
00:31:21,879 --> 00:31:25,983
whether you want to admit it
or not, that we all live by.
790
00:31:26,016 --> 00:31:28,185
We don't kill, we-we--
791
00:31:28,218 --> 00:31:30,654
It's like that just-- You know,
we want to see justice.
792
00:31:30,687 --> 00:31:32,189
-Right.
-We want a happy ending.
793
00:31:32,222 --> 00:31:34,124
And that's what everybody wants
in life.
794
00:31:34,157 --> 00:31:36,827
So, the Marvel/Method,
when people tune in,
795
00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:39,429
they're gonna get more
than just us talking shop
796
00:31:39,463 --> 00:31:40,931
about the books.
797
00:31:40,964 --> 00:31:43,133
They're gonna get, like,
a real experience
798
00:31:43,166 --> 00:31:45,736
from artist to artist,
talking about their life
799
00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:47,738
prior to books and after.
800
00:31:47,771 --> 00:31:49,473
And we get to talk
to some of the writers,
801
00:31:49,506 --> 00:31:51,141
which makes it even more better.
802
00:31:51,174 --> 00:31:53,577
I've always wanted to know.
Which Marvel character
803
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:56,246
would you want to play
in a Marvel movie?
804
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,584
Well, there aren't many Black,
uh, characters.
805
00:32:00,617 --> 00:32:03,554
Shout-out to Chadwick Boseman,
beautiful man.
806
00:32:03,587 --> 00:32:05,689
Um, Wakanda forever, for real.
807
00:32:05,722 --> 00:32:08,058
Um, there aren't
many Black characters
808
00:32:08,091 --> 00:32:09,660
in-in the Marvel universe.
809
00:32:09,693 --> 00:32:12,196
There are some, and I cherish
'em. Don't get me wrong.
810
00:32:12,229 --> 00:32:15,933
And, um, I was pining
for Bishop. X-Men.
811
00:32:15,966 --> 00:32:19,436
And, um, Adam Brashear,
uh, um, the Blue Marvel.
812
00:32:19,469 --> 00:32:24,575
Uh, but now it's like I think
it's time for new characters.
813
00:32:24,608 --> 00:32:26,910
If we can just make
new characters now,
814
00:32:26,944 --> 00:32:29,246
-you know, we don't have to
gender-swap, -I'm liking this.
815
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:30,881
we don't have
to race-swap anything.
816
00:32:30,914 --> 00:32:32,282
Just bring new characters.
817
00:32:32,316 --> 00:32:34,952
All right, so I'll ask you this
before I let you go.
818
00:32:34,985 --> 00:32:36,887
If you were to create
any character,
819
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,956
what are the powers that you
would give that character
820
00:32:38,989 --> 00:32:40,324
and why?
821
00:32:40,357 --> 00:32:42,092
Ooh.
822
00:32:42,125 --> 00:32:44,194
Wow. Um...
823
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:46,096
Geez.
824
00:32:46,129 --> 00:32:47,598
That's a tough one.
825
00:32:47,631 --> 00:32:49,099
Um, I-I...
826
00:32:49,132 --> 00:32:50,500
Geez.
827
00:32:50,534 --> 00:32:52,336
I think, um...
828
00:32:52,369 --> 00:32:54,571
he would probably be...
829
00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:57,708
I'd make him an empath,
an empath.
830
00:32:57,741 --> 00:33:00,177
-Like, he would have the power
of em-empathy. -Okay, okay.
831
00:33:00,210 --> 00:33:04,448
Um, and he could reflect that,
uh, to the world,
832
00:33:04,481 --> 00:33:06,583
that empathic ability.
833
00:33:06,617 --> 00:33:09,152
And then he can,
with that empathic ability,
834
00:33:09,186 --> 00:33:11,421
can cure racism if he wanted to
835
00:33:11,455 --> 00:33:14,525
or can have peace on Earth
because he's projecting this.
836
00:33:14,558 --> 00:33:16,727
All he needs is a big stage--
837
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,162
social media--
and people to hear his voice.
838
00:33:19,196 --> 00:33:20,430
That would be dope.
839
00:33:20,464 --> 00:33:21,698
And he could be a villain,
840
00:33:21,732 --> 00:33:24,468
an antihero, so to speak,
841
00:33:24,501 --> 00:33:27,538
because there's a lot of people
that don't want that message.
842
00:33:27,571 --> 00:33:29,473
-Damn. Okay.
-Think about it. Pow.
843
00:33:29,506 --> 00:33:31,275
Okay. You know
how he gets his powers?
844
00:33:31,308 --> 00:33:33,677
He gets his powers
because, as a little kid,
845
00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:36,346
he was in a hospital, where they
were working on his brain,
846
00:33:36,380 --> 00:33:37,814
and the machine
they connected him up to
847
00:33:37,848 --> 00:33:39,650
connected him to the other kids
by mistake
848
00:33:39,683 --> 00:33:42,052
and it, like, electrocuted him
and he got all of their thoughts
849
00:33:42,085 --> 00:33:44,488
and their feelings inside
of him.
850
00:33:44,521 --> 00:33:46,323
-And then that's where he got
the power. -Co-creator right...
851
00:33:46,356 --> 00:33:49,693
Co-creator right-right there.
Trevor, you are a genius.
852
00:33:49,726 --> 00:33:51,395
Thank you. Thank you.
853
00:33:51,428 --> 00:33:53,597
Yo, Mr. Meth, sir,
you made my day, man,
854
00:33:53,630 --> 00:33:55,165
you've made a part of my life,
and I appreciate you.
855
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:56,867
Thank you so much
for taking the time.
856
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,235
Thank you, Trevor,
appreciate it.
857
00:33:58,268 --> 00:33:59,236
Thank you so much, my dude.
858
00:33:59,269 --> 00:34:00,270
Peace.
859
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:02,739
Don't forget,
Power Book II: Ghost
860
00:34:02,773 --> 00:34:04,808
airs Sundays on Starz.
861
00:34:04,841 --> 00:34:06,877
We're gonna take a quick break,
but we'll be right back
862
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:06,977
after this.
863
00:34:09,211 --> 00:34:10,746
Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
864
00:34:10,779 --> 00:34:13,715
I just wanted to take a moment
to please, if you can,
865
00:34:13,749 --> 00:34:16,385
support your local restaurants.
866
00:34:16,418 --> 00:34:18,787
They're struggling more
than ever before right now
867
00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:20,722
to stay open
during this pandemic.
868
00:34:20,756 --> 00:34:23,592
Which means many people
will lose their jobs
869
00:34:23,625 --> 00:34:25,794
if they don't get
the help that they need.
870
00:34:25,827 --> 00:34:28,564
And they might not be open for
you when the pandemic is over.
871
00:34:28,597 --> 00:34:31,300
So if you want to help,
then please do whatever you can.
872
00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:33,502
And if you want to do more,
then consider a donation
873
00:34:33,535 --> 00:34:36,305
to the James Beard Foundation's
Open for Good campaign,
874
00:34:36,338 --> 00:34:38,173
which helps independent
restaurants
875
00:34:38,206 --> 00:34:41,510
survive the pandemic
and rebuild stronger
876
00:34:41,543 --> 00:34:43,278
and more equitably.
877
00:34:43,312 --> 00:34:45,447
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there,
878
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,015
wear a mask and remember,
879
00:34:47,049 --> 00:34:49,184
if you can't smell
your own farts,
880
00:34:49,218 --> 00:34:51,253
you might have coronavirus.
881
00:34:51,286 --> 00:34:54,089
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
882
00:34:59,294 --> 00:35:01,630
Dan then attended Iowa State,
883
00:35:01,663 --> 00:35:05,567
where he secured two
NCAA wrestling championships.
884
00:35:05,601 --> 00:35:09,705
And he won
117 consecutive matches.
885
00:35:09,738 --> 00:35:11,406
And lost only one.
886
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,242
Well, you know, in politics,
887
00:35:13,275 --> 00:35:16,378
I won two, so I'm two and oh.
888
00:35:16,411 --> 00:35:18,480
And that's pretty good, too.
889
00:35:18,513 --> 00:35:18,580
