You'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about

ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. April 30, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for shooting in. Thank you for coming out.

Thank you for being here, everybody. Our guest tonight, our guest tonight is an actor and an activist, now celebrating his 10th year on Gray's Anatomy. Jesse Williams is joining us. Also on tonight's show, Why Black People Love Joe Biden, a car crashes, Corey Booker's speech and the Pope says, snitches get stitches. So let's catch up on today's headlines. First up, if you were planning a vacation to Venezuela this week, I hope you've got trip insurance. Breaking news out of Venezuela where an attempted coup is underway there.

You heard that right. Opposition leader Juan Guido calling for the military to oust the sitting president, Nicholas Maduro. In an early morning video, Guido saying, quote, the moment is now calling for his supporters to take to the streets and many answering that call. That's right, as we speak, Venezuela is in the throes of an attempted coup. After five years of repression and economic crisis, the country has just finally reached a tipping point. Well, it's either that, or everyone was just super inspired by watching Avengers and Game of Thrones in the same weekend, and they're like, we can do it!

Although I say it's a coup, but according to John Bolton, President Trump's national security advisor and Janitor who ate his own mop, this is not a coup. No, the US government says it's not a coup, because the US government recognizes Juan Guido as the legitimate president. Yeah. So they says not a coup. And you've got to admit, America's pretty gangster about this,

yeah? Yeah, if it likes the people overthrowing the government, it's not a coup. It's just cool. In other international news, ISIS, the US coalition may have taken away their caliphate, but apparently they still have their camera phones. The leader of ISIS has re-emerged publicly after five years without being seen. The new video appears to show the elusive ISIS leader Abu Bakhara Baghdadi giving a pep talk to supporters.

It's only the second video of him the first, five years ago when he founded the Islamic State. Tonight Baghdad acknowledges his state is in ruins, ground underfoot by a US-led coalition. So he has a new tone. The terror group will live on, he says, by fighting a long war of attrition. A long war of attrition? A long war of attrition? Ugh, that sounds exhausting. Just blow us up already.

God damn. Like an actual war may be more violent, but at least it has a a a a th. thia. thia. thia. thiiiiiiii. thi. thiolk. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. A thiol-a. thiol-a, thi. thi. thi. thoomomomom. thoom. thoom. thoom. th. thi, thi, th. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. So, thi. A. A. A. A. A thi. A thi. A thi. A thi. So, thi. A thi. So, thi. Soaaauuuu. Soa. So, thi. So, thooooooooooooo. G. G. G. G. G. So, already. God damn. Like an actual war may be more violent, but at least it has a beginning and an end. Because now I'm picturing ISIS, finding lots of little ways just to irritate us forever. Because instead of terrorism, which they can't afford anymore, they're just going to stand in front of us at the ice cream counter and just going to try all the flavors. Can I try the vanilla! Yes, but now I want to see what it tastes like after chocolate. Assholes. Moving on to some technology news, today Mark Zuckerberg announced some major changes

to Facebook and Instagram. Yeah, first of all, a complete makeover for Facebook. And I know personally, I can't wait for my mom to call me and ask me what the hell happen to her Facebook. So on the one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one thoan thoan tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho- tho- tho- to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. too. thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the. the. the. the. tho. the the. thooooooo. too. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to hell happened to her Facebook. So on the one hand, it is cool that Facebook is trying to improve how people use their apps. But it turns out some people are using these apps in ways you might have never expected. You've heard of staycations,

but how about fake-cations? A Nebraska-based company called Fake-Avakeen social media. Now the company superimposes pictures of you onto backdrops of things like Hawaii, the Grand Canyon and other popular vacation spots. Now you may think this is a bit over the top, but it seems to actually be a growing trend. A survey by travel site, jet cost, says around 10% of people admitted to putting fake travel photos on their social media pages. Hosting photos of fake trips? Guys, come on. That is so sad. Like if you want to make other people on social media jealous, don't just do it the old-fashioned

way by pretending you in a happy relationship, you know? Yeah, they sleep in separate bedrooms. Don't believe the hype. And by the way, why would you fake a trip to the beach? Let me tell you something now. tho. th. th. th. you fake a trip to the beach? There's like a waste of faking. Let me tell you something now. If I'm faking trips, I'm faking the shit out of them. Yeah, oh, you went to the Catskills, that's cool. I spent the weekend in space.

That's where I'm faking. Oh, and why the way, if you want to hear more about my sleepover at the Popes, I'm sorry, he doesn't want anyone talking about it. Pope Francis is telling hairdresers to quit gossiping in salons. He said that to some Italian barbers and hairdressers who were on a pilgrimage to Rome. The Pope warned them to avoid the temptation of gossiping with their clients. The Pope said that thi thi th. th. th. th. thiiiiiii, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoe, thoom- tho-is, tho-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is- ththae. Pope th. Pope th. Pope tho- tho-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is-is. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-nnn't thn't thnate-nate-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'-n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n' that they should instead treat all of their clients with kindness and always offer good words of encouragement. The Pope is telling hairdressers not to gossip. That's a weirdly specific thing to preach.

Like it feels like the Pope is using God for his own personal issues, you know? He's just like, after much prayer, the Lord came to me, and he said Denise needs to shut her fucking mouth, okay? Okay. Really? God said that to you? told you said that. told me, yeah? He also said, can't say, that to gossip because gossip is the bedrock of the church.

Yes, it's why they call it the Gospels, yes? It's basically just Matthew, Luke and John spilling all the tea. Just being like, girl, and to have people whisper their sins to them. You can't tell people not to gossip and then be like, okay now come into my wooden telephone booth and tell me how many times you masturbated. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. There's only 552 days until the presidential election. So let's let's th the thetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetet. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. tho, tho, tho, th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to to to to to to to to to to presidential election, so let's catch up on the Democratic primary race in our ongoing segment, World War D.

There are now 20 candidates running in the Democratic primary race, which is an insane number. I mean, look at all those faces, huh? Look at all of those faces. And because there are so many faces. race, which is an insane number. I mean look at all those faces, huh? Look at all of those faces! And because there are so many faces, many of the candidates are having a hard time getting any media coverage. So they're trying anything to make a splash. Better or rock went to Yosemite National Park to announce a five trillion dollar plan to fight climate change, but no one

has heard about it. Yeah, it's like that old saying. If a candidate announces a policy in a forest and there's no one around to hear it, then does a bear shit on it. Meanwhile, John Hickinloper is trying to get people to look at his new trade plans and Jay Inslee is still trying to convince people he actually exists. He's just like, I swear I'm s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s I'm th I'm th I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the thi I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm the thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. teeei. tei. tei. tei. tei. tei. tei. try. tea'm a real candidate. I swear I was in the picture they showed on the Daily Show. Wait, you're Sonic the Hedgehog? No! I'm the other guy. You're Eric Swalwell? Who's Eric Swalwell? Exactly. I don't know any of these guys. In fact, it's so hard to get attention right now that Corey Booker was almost run over during a speech and it barely made the news. Senator Corey Booker, his latest speech was interrupted by a minivan that careened into a building

where he was speaking. Your House Republicans passed a bill. We say this was an accident. Senator Booker did go on with the event once the building was declared to be structurally safe. Wow, that is crazy. Corey Booker is so boring. He's making people who are not even in the room fall asleep. That woman was just driving paus.

She's like, what's happening to me? Now, the police were saying, this was just an accident. Now, the police were saying this was just an accident and that there was no ill intent. Although if I was a terrorist and my thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, told, told, told, told, told, told, told told, thi, told told told told told told told told, told, told, too, too, too, too, too, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too, too, too, my plot failed, that's what I would also say. Yeah, I'll just play it off as an accident. It probably happens more than we think. I'm sure there's like some guy who try to blow up Starbucks and then his suicide vest failed, right? Just walked in like, I would like a pumpkin spice, a latte please, uh, yeah. So many Democrats are struggling to get noticed, right?

But one candidate has no problem at all. And that's former vice president and professional tickle monster Joe Biden. Yesterday, he kicked off his campaign with a rally outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Joe Biden at the first rally of his 2020 campaign, surrounded by labor union supporters in Battleground, Pennsylvania. The major moral obligation of our time is to restore, rebuild, and respect the backbone of America, the middle class. The stock market is roaring, but you don't feel it. I make no apologies.

I am a union man, period. I am a union man. It's a good campaign line and a terrible Marvel superhero. How are we going to stop Thanos? I don't know, but I got Marvel to give us free dental coverage. And although Biden may be zeroing in on one voting block in particular, he's not forgetting the rest of the country. Choose hope over fear, unity over division.

We always do better and we act as one America. Donald Trump is only president, is the only president, who's decided not to represent the whole country. The president has his base. We need a president who works for all Americans. Yes, that's where America has gotten to. Candidates now have to promise, if they get the job, they'll be the president of the whole country. It's crazy because thanks to Trump, that's not a foregone conclusion anymore. You realize that? Because he got into the White House and he was like, California, suck a fat dick. New York, same to you.

All the people who voted for Hillary, suck my boss. Wisconsin, see you Friday, Florida, every Friday, baby, yeah. So Biden's first speech seemed like it was hitting all the right notes, was connecting with all the people, but there was one thing that keen observers noticed. The former vice president was a little out of practice when it came to saying words. I have to rethink how we define what constitutes a successful economy. They see workers as just a means to an end, not the end in themselves, and themselves. The same is happening in big hospital system for the United Food and Commercial Workers

in Boston. Medical research to conquer devastating diseases like cancer. The UAW took incredible cuts in their future. The country wasn't built by Wall Street Bankers, CEOs, and hedge fund managers. It was built by you. The hudge fund managers? Oh man, Joe Biden.

It's one thing to mess up in the middle of a sentence. It's another thing to stumble when you're trying to rally the tramps, I mean, their troops. Like it loses all energy. Can you imagine if King Leonidas slipped up like that? It would have changed 300 forever. This is Splendor! I mean, Sparta! I mean, Sparta! Guys, I totally said Sparta!

I said, why are you opening the game? You can't surrender. What do we do now? We're going to train dragons. What are we doing now? That's why Trump has a huge advantage over every other candidate. If you notice when he makes a mistake, he doesn't let it trip him up. He just creates a new reality and he plows right through. Yeah. Because if he did that, he'd be like, this country wasn't built by hedge fan managers, which is also a thing, hudge funds. People forget about hudge, but not me.

I know all about hodge. Vanessa Hudgens, Jabber the Hodge, Sanig the Hodge! So much hudges. And look, obviously all politicians misspeak sometimes, right? But because Trump has started a narrative that Biden is old and losing his wits, Biden can't afford any slip-ups.

Literally, every day on Twitter, Trump is calling Biden sleepy Joe. That's his nickname for him, which is weird. You have to admit. No, I mean it's like a strange slam. Sleeping is just a basic human function. He's like, oh look at him, he sleeps. What? I will say this though. If Joe Biden goes up against Trump, I can't wait to try to try th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the th. the th. the th. the th. th. the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. today, I today, I today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tod tod tod tod tod tod tod tod th. th. th. tod th. the the the the the the the the today today the the today today today th. thi. today, today, today, today, th. today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, tod, he sleeps. What? I will say this, though. If Joe Biden goes up against Trump, I can't wait to see those attack ads. Joe Biden says he wants to be your president, but is he too sleepy for the job? I'm so sick and tired, sick and tired. President Trump is never tired. At 3 a.m. when Joe Biden and other babies are in bed snoozing,

Donald Trump is tweeting about CNN's low ratings. So in 2020, ask yourself, do we want a commander-in-chief who goes to bed at night? Or do we want a real man? I'm Donald Trump. I haven't slept in nine days, and I approve this message. We'll be right back. We're going to be to. John Stewart here.

Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio, on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. So, we've been talking about Joe Biden kicking off his presidential campaign. And whatever you think about him, you have to admit that he is resonating with

Democratic voters. Okay, breaking news, a new CNN national poll on the 2020 Democratic race just out shows former vice president Joe Biden with a big bounce. He now has 39 percent. Among black women, a nearly 30 point advantage for Biden in this morning consult poll. That's right. Joe Biden has surged to a huge lead in the Democratic Party. And in second place is Bernie Sanders. Combined age, 642.

It almost seems like they pulled that move, senior citizens do where they just cut to the front of the line, everyone's too polite to say anything. You know, they're just like, let him cut. It might be his last meal ever. But I do find it interesting that Biden has especially strong support among black women. A lot of people are wondering why that is. So to help us find out, let's turn to an actual black woman. Ducey, Ducey. Hosey's a truc, tellorn, everybody.

Hey, how old is it? So, this feels like a conundrum, Duce. to help me understand. Why are so many black women leading toward Joe Biden? I don't want to talk about this political shit, Trevor? It just over got married. And I'm sad. Oh, D'uce, I understand, because you loved Idris and now you have to look for another dream man.

That's why you're sad. No, I'm sad because now I got to kill somebody. Okay, let's move on. Dole say focus focus on politics. Why do you think Biden is doing so well with black women? Like many people expected black women to support Corey Bucco or Kamala Harris. Well let me break it down for you. Corey and Kamala are fine but if I'm completely honest if I'm completely honest they got a bit of an image problem. I mean Corey's nice but he reminds you that cousin asthat's a tattletale.

You know, even when no one ass, just snitching for the love of the game. Like, oh, she did this? Ha ha ha. And then Kamala looks like a mean vice principal, you know? She just comes up, like, don't say, I want what's best for you, which is why I'm giving you detention. Corey, thank you for coming right to me. Okay, like, okay, I see what you're saying in terms of an image, but, okay, it doesn't explain why black women then don't go for someone like Elizabeth Warren then. I mean, she's addressed specific issues that black women have, like, a reparations,

the black maternal mortality rate. Why are black women going with like a guy whosehapapapapapapapapap record. Listen, don't get me wrong. Younger black women will probably go with Elizabeth Warren, but for older black women, they're gonna go with Biden because if Biden becomes president, then Obama is back in the White House. Well, oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, wait. But that's not true. Obama can't be president again. Who said anything about president? If Joe Biden wins, he's going to invite Obama over for dinner.

And where's dinner? The White House. Boom! Obama's back in the White House. Obama's back in the White House. I mean, it's sneaky, but it's all we got. Okay, fine. So maybe that explains black women's support, but what's interesting to me, Doolsay,

is that Democrats overall seem to be going with Biden, which is strange, like considering how diverse and fresh most of the other candidates are. Of course, yeah. This is just a simple case of familiar dick. Familiar dick? Yeah, see, listen, y'all know what I'm talking about. Okay, there's that one dude you've been hooking up with four years, right? And sometimes you try someone different, but you always go back to him. That's familiar dick. I mean, you know how well it does, what it does? I mean, sure, he's 37 and sells drugs on a child's bike.

But it's a dick you know. Listen, you know how well it does, what it does. I mean, sure he's 37 and sells drugs on a child's bike. But it's the dick you know. I can safely say I didn't know that women categorized dick that way. Yeah, we got familiar thic thic thic thic thic that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. That's that. That's that. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a fipped. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that women categorized dick that way. Yeah, we got familiar dick, broke dick, rich dick. Mediocre dick, always lets you borrow his car dick. Okay, so if I understand what you're saying, you're saying Joe Biden's politics is the familiar penis that the Democrats wish to return to.

Now you're getting a dimple dick? Ha! Ha! Okay, so... Please, don't encourage her. So... As a voter and as a black woman, who do you prefer then?

Familiar dick or New Dick? Neither. I prefer British Dick. I'm coming for your interest! Don't say Slowen, everyone. We'll be right back. You've got to leave. I just alone.

Welcome back to the daily show. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is an actor, a director and an activist who stars in the long-running hit ABC series Graze Anatomy. Please welcome Jesse Williams. Hello. Welcome back to the show. Thank you. It's good to be here. Good to have you here. I feel like every time you come your eyes to the show. Thank you. It's good to be here. I feel like every time you come your eyes get a little greener. All right, Trevor.

All right. All right. Your face gets a little more like you. How's life treatment? that's a lot. No, I wish it was. There's no fat. You enjoying life? I am. I'm working hard, I'm playing hard, I'm having fun. Congratulations on another season of Grace Anatomy. This shows have been going, how many seasons has it been now?

We just finished 15. 15 seasons. 15 seasons. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like the long seasons. Like, the tea. Like, the te.

the show, the thrown, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, throwing shade of all the miniseries people out there. We're doing real seasons. What's really impressive about the show for me is, like, I loved watching the show when I was in South Africa. It's huge out there. And then I came to the US and it's big. And now, there's like a resurgence of people, because some people watch it on Netflix. Yeah, people binge watch. existing ones. People are discovering it a new, it's more of them than there are folks have been die hearts forever. And it's also generational, right? It's 15 years. That means a whole new generation has been born and turned into a high schooler by now, watching it. Yeah, so you get some

grandmas, parents, and then their kids all watching it at once. So, is that ever, is that ever weird for you when you have like a generational fan gap? Do you know, to, Because like a lot of the time people have like a fan range. Yeah, yeah. And then you're getting like a research, it's just like, I'm your biggest fan. And my mom. Yeah, and my grandma. Yes. And they're aggressive. And they're aggressive.

Grandmothers are aggressive. Don't, don't underestimate. . . Can, don't, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, gr................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... bunch. They're a very touchy. They've got a firm grip. I had, I had one grandmother who came up to me at a meet and greet, and then she grabbed my ass and she said to me, I don't have much time, let's do this. Amazing. I'm serious. Amazing.

I'm serious. Like in their grip? Yes. And there's a whole stomach rub unnecessary. Not part of the photo, but just like a stomach rub and like rubbing a little side-boob action. There's a- Living their best life. Yeah, living their best life. Yeah, I like that. Great Anatomy has been a show that's had an impact on many people. that's had animes created where it spoke to so many issues that were happening in the world,

but it didn't like specifically or explicitly call them out. So for instance, you had a black doctor who had grown up in tough circumstances, but it wasn't like his story. It was part of his life. You know, you had an Asian doctor who was dealing with her family, tho. thii. the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, th, or, or, th, th, or, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th thi. th th th thi. to th thi. th thi. to toe th th thi. thi. th th th th th th th with how she told people about her sexuality. But it was never like, this is the show about wokeness. In fact, I would even say, it came before. It's amazing how rarely we ever, if ever, we mentioned anything.

Right. You just happen to have these people in positions of power and worthy of respect and they were, you know, it was, that's why it's such a pioneering show. that's thi. th. th. It's th. It's th.

It started with the heart, it started with the actual humanity and it's not, that's not an Asian surgeon, that's Yang. That's somebody you love. It's not, it's not, it's not the black chief. It's not, it's not, it's not, it's like, it's just, it's just, it's just, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it, it, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it... It. It. It. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, that's like, it's like, no, I'll just next drive in. Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't need to m'a'gill.

Exactly. But, but, but, but, but, let's talk a little bit about like that world that you created. It's definitely been done, I'm sure. Some, some, it sounds, to. the, the, the, the, th. the, th. th. th. th. th. th. to, I. the, I. th. the, I. the, I. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. Yeah, I'm. I'm. Yeah, I'm. Yeah, I'm. Yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I mean, I mean, I'm like, I mean, I mean, I'm like, I mean, I'm. Yeah, I mean, I'm. Yeah, I mean, I'm. Yeah, I'm. Yeah, I mean, I'm. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, I could be a fully accredited surgeon by that. Do you think you know like some, you know enough fake medicine to do real medicine? I could, I could slow your death. I could buy you a few extra minutes. But you know what's funny is that like, and I think I've said this before, I've had, I've definitely had like at least two instances on a plane where somebody has gone.

Is there a doctor on the plane? And then a flight attendant looks directly at me. And it's like, lady, but one thing you know about me. I'm like anybody else on this flight, the one thing you know about me is I'm not a doctor. But it's like, no, no, no, please. Don't. Fine, all right. We'll just go through the motions. I don't know. This is how bad of a doctor I am. I don't know. I'm just stretching into what I'm doing. That's your CPR?

This is like a little cabbage patch or something. Yeah, that was a very sexy CPR. I was like, I was like, you're coming back to life. But you're like, what is that, what, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yeah, yeah, we have another episode I directed is this Thursday. Congratulations, man. Thank you. Really, that's like a big story. I enjoy it, maybe more than acting.

You enjoyed maybe more than acting. Why? It's just something I've always felt like I was going to do. I could do, you know, I went to film school. I shot shorts in college. I enjoy I enjoy it, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th. th. th. th. th. that, th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That, th. th. That, th. that's, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like it. It's like a natural evolution. Yeah, and I knew it was going to happen. I just didn't want to start it until I was ready to keep doing it. Got it. And by the way, you know, I've got a great place to do it, a place that I know in love, and top-notch incredible crew.

How does it work, though, when you're directing people who you've worked w worked w worked w worked w worked w worked w worked w worked w worked th. take out all your grudges. Yeah, you get to give people hell that have been given you. No, no, it's really, it really helps to be able to speak the language of the actor. You know, it's a, it's, I have found with some directors that they don't quite know how to speak to actors in a way. And it's sometimes the delicate thing. Keep in the show. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a their.. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to be able. up. If we do 25 episodes, this may be 16 directors, because some repeat. So new people coming in, trying to feel out, they don't quite know. Everybody's got different personalities in ways you receive information.

But being able to understand how actors work and the way we communicate, and you can say a lot with a little, and it's more of an emotional conversation than technical, right? Telling them how you would like it without telling them how to do it. So it's a bit of a tight rope and we can be a fickle bunch. It's a conversation that you can have which, which, um, which I, like I enjoy. I love it when actors getting to directing and when they get to control a bit of their craft. It might be a little bit like that. It's a tha, it's a bit, it's a bit, it's a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a in a movie or something. Yes, like we say killing, bombing, like we use language where people like, I'm sorry, what happened on stage? Yeah, he died, he died on stage. And then like there was one comedian who actually like physically died on stage and then like, the

the comedian died on stage. And then like, the comedian died on stage. And then like, yeah, like, comedian, that's it was, the. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, they, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, he died, no, died, like actually died. We're like, yeah, that people die all the time. And then it was like, no, dead, dead. Oh, sorry. Right. Right. It was like a weird, you know? Let's talk about some of the work that you're doing outside of Gray's Anatomy.

Yeah. One thing that has connected been involved in social justice. You are somebody who said, I have a platform and I will use it to speak out for issues that I agree with or disagree against, you know? And so one thing that's been really interesting is now you've teamed up with Medman. What do we call, the cannabis company? Was that like the official term? Yeah, I think the biggest in the country of Spike Jones, and I made essentially a short film that they put together

and we got creative and figured out a way to kind of tell the history of cannabis in this country. It's a really fascinating ad because you play everyone in the ad and you tell the story of weed in America and it's like you would think a weed ad would you just like smoke weed man. Exactly. It's not that at all. Look, the cannabis boom is happening. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. It, th. It, th. It's, th. It's, the, th. It's, the, th. It's, th. It's, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thin, thi, thee, thee, thi, thee, the, the, the, the, the, th. We, th. We, th. We, thi, thi, th. We, thi, thi, th. We, th. We, th. We, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, the the thin, the thea. And, thin, thea. We're, thea. And, theat, theat, the. We's, that at all. Right. It's, look, the cannabis boom is happening. And so we know that, so we try to come up with something together, a mechanism as well, came up with this great concept of laying some context. Now we know this boom is about to take off. What is the story of cannabis in Colorado and California discovering it and getting rich.

It's not the gold rush, as you just discovered gold and you're selling it. It's been around forever. We used to force Africans to grow it on plantations, including the first president, George Washington. And now there's thousands of people locked up in cages for having it in their pocket. So how did we get there? And so we're telling this story through this brilliant idea that mechanism and Spike came up with, and we worked on together kind of through this museum, a series of diaramas that take you through American history,

that contextualize the war on drugs and stop and frisk, and medicinal uses and for our veterans, and so many different ways it can be applied. And it's so many different ways it's that that that that that that that that thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. It's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's a as a center. That wasn't my bag, but it was social justice and it's something that we need to decriminalize because we're not adjudicating it fairly. We're not enforcing these laws fairly at all. I know them suburbs. It's boys will be boys, kids will be kids.

Every movie we watched about it. their coming of age. Yes, what? Yeah. they is illegal, but we accept it and we laugh in it because it's coming of age. But when it's black kids doing it, their poor kids doing it, they're filling prisons. And it's just not fair at all. So if you're not going to do it fairly,

let's decriminalize it, it's my view, and start from there and build up in a up in their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to their to a powerful ad and people have to watch it online. Yeah, you can just watch on YouTube. Yeah, because weed is not legal federally so they can't put it on networks, which is an interesting conversation to have for another day. But yeah.
