Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. Really? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Well, hello, what's going on everybody? I'm Trevor Noah, and this is the daily social distancing show. Today is Monday, May 3rd, which means it is officially now Teacher Appreciation Week. So, because of that, I wanted to take a moment to personally thank the teacher who changed my life. Professor Charles Xavier. You know, when I came through his school, I was just a lost, cocky young kid, but I'll never forget what he taught me. Trevor, you're not an X-man. Getting nosebleeds is not a superpower. And I still remember that lesson to this day.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Love you, Prof. Anyway, coming up on tonight's show, White Diamonds are now a guy's best friend. Roywood Jr. tells us about the black royals you've never heard of, and Facebook and Apple are fighting over your search history. So let's do this, people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. From Trevor's Couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Years Edition. All right, people, let's kick it off with the coronavirus pandemic. It's the reason your grandma keeps saying you filled out whenever she hugs you. Ever since the vaccine came out, Americans have been looking forward to the day when the country will achieve herd immunity, which is when a disease dies out because enough of the population has either been vaccinated or previously infected or COVID just doesn't feel safe around them. But now, it seems like people are going to have to wait a lot longer than they thought. In the fight against COVID-19, this is a headline no one wants to see, quote,
Starting point is 00:02:17 reaching herd immunity is unlikely in the United States experts now believe, one biologist even telling the New York Times, quote, the virus is unlikely to go away............ then, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. But, th. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. But, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th th th th th th th th the the the thiii. the thi. thi. the. thi. thi. One biologist even telling the New York Times, quote, the virus is unlikely to go away. Vaccine hesitancy remains a very real issue threatening the country's chances at achieving herd immunity. Scientists believe the virus will, quote, likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths, but in much smaller numbers.
Starting point is 00:02:46 You know, honestly, in these divided times, it's just great to see all Americans coming together to fail at something so easily achievable. But yeah, thanks to the many people who refuse to take a life-saving vaccine, experts now think that coronavirus is basically going to become one of those antibirus pop-ups. You know, we're going to minimize it, but we'll never rarely delete it. And let me just say this, if you can get vaccinated, but you haven't yet, well, this should be all the incentive you need. Because you don't want to be getting corona 10 years from now. I mean, think about it.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Not only could you die, but you'll be getting roasted for being out of date. Oh my god you got COVID that's so chuggy. Everyone's dying from snake flu now. And yes this is the fault of anti-vaxes but one thing that definitely isn't helping is the media because I don't if you've noticed this the media loves running stories about the few people who are having adverse reactions to the media. Because I don't know if you've noticed this. The media loves running stories about the few people who are having adverse reactions to the vaccine. Oh man got a vaccine, now his foot is sore. Oh, a woman got a vaccine. Now she forgot it's Thursday. Because even though those cases are a tiny minority, those are the stories that people want to hear the most. Local news isn't running stories about how all the people with no side effects are having a fine time because let's be honest. That news just wouldn't sell.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Thank you, Pam. Breaking News. I am outside the house of a man who received the vaccine earlier this week and is completely fine. Right now, he is in that room eating dinner with his family. And by all, oh it looks like he's seen me I'm gonna have to leave now. But even without hurt immunity society is bound to start reopening. So over in the UK researchers are trying to figure out what kind of events people can go to without causing the virus to start spreading out of control again and the way they're trying to figure it out just maybe the virus to start spreading out of control again. And the way they're trying to figure it out, just maybe the greatest science experiment of all time. Live music is starting to make a comeback in some places as a way to track coronavirus progress.
Starting point is 00:04:54 The English city of Liverpool hosted a one-off music festival yesterday to test whether such events spread the virus. About 5,000 people ditched face coverings and social distancing rules to attend the outdoor the virus. About 5,000 people ditched face coverings and social distancing rules to attend the outdoor event, and they just had to test negative for COVID first and agreed a follow-up test in five days. Data from the festival will be used by the government's events research program
Starting point is 00:05:17 to help understand the effects of crowds on the spread of the virus. And the festival's organizer says he hopes a project will help get outdoor events back on the calendar this year. Oh yeah! A concert! Now that's my kind of medical experiment. Not Louis Pester and that bullshit with a dog. The best part of it is no one caught COVID. But sadly, a hundred people did come down with EDM. But that's right. Thousands of people showed up to a concert and the purpose was to see if they would catch COVID. Which let's be honest, doesn't seem like a real idea, right?
Starting point is 00:05:59 That seems like something that Jaru would do and be like, yeah, I mean, that happened. You didn't get it, right? Fire! And if you ask me, I think an experimental concert is a great idea, not just for COVID. I mean, you can test for all sorts of things, like you can test for the effect of constantly dropping the beat. We can finally find out, does that hurt the beat? Can the beat even feel pain? And will will will even the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, and will the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the beat, the tho, tho, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, th. th. tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th, th, th, th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. the. the. toe. toea. toea. tea. tea. tea. tea. thea. the. the most here is how many volunteers they got to submit to medical experimentation just because they wanted to see a concert.
Starting point is 00:06:30 I mean you realize this means they could ramp up experiments on everything just based on who's performing. Can we please take your kidneys? We need to test something. What? No. We'll give your tickets to Biance. Oh my God, take them both. Tell Beyonce their mind, tell her they're my kidneys. Maybe she'll sing about them.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And finally, if you dream of someday settling down and marrying the person of your dreams, well, first of all, congratulations on being basic. And second, if you're part of a straight couple, well, Billfoy engagement rings just doubled. If you like him, then maybe you should put a ring on it. Yeah, Tiffany is introducing its first men's engagement ring this spring. The Charles Tiffany's setting is what it's called. It features a bold solitaire diamond in round, brilliant, and emerald cut, up to five carrots, and that ring is named after the company's founder, Charles Lewis, Tiffany. This setting honors the jeweler's legacy in love and inclusivity, they say.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Oh, guys, this is amazing. Trying to double your profits and pass it off as inclusivity. Capitalism is so beautiful. But this is a huge moment for equality. Because now men finally have something to bring to the pawn shop when their fiancé has sex with their platonic best friend. Oh I had nothing to worry about. And I also think this could be a win for everyone. I mean women get diamond rings. Now men also get diamond rings and the children who have to mine
Starting point is 00:07:58 twice as many diamonds they get paid overtime. I mean everyone they don't get paid but then how do they keep getting... So this is... And look, I don't think it's going to be easy to convince men to wear a diamond ring, but based on the ad campaign that Tiffany is rolling out, oh, they're definitely giving it their best shots. Are you ready to tell the world you've found love like a man? Introducing the new Tiffany's th Engagement Ring, a badass diamond in a Cignet style that tells the world I'm boning one person for the rest of my life. Plus it'll hurt more when you punch someone with it on. So pop a cold one with your buddies, and then head over to Tiffany's to get a ring just
Starting point is 00:08:40 like you won the Super Bowl. Football. Tiffany's Men's Engagement Ring also comes in camo. But let's move on now to our main story. iPhones, the reason you haven't made eye contact since 2008. Last week, Apple dropped the latest update to their iPhone operating system and it has all sorts of new features. You know you can now use the phone update to their iPhone operating system. And it has all sorts of new features. You know, you can now use the phone with a video game controller. You can design your own app icons.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And there are four new voice options for Siri, including two black voices, which means millions of people are about to have their first black friends. So exciting. But the big update that everyone's talking about has to do with privacy. And it's the subject of our latest episode of, If you don't know, now you know. the biggest concerns people have about modern technology. Privacy, right?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Because our phones know everything about us. What is one of the biggest concerns people have about modern technology? Privacy, right? Because our phones know everything about us. What music we listen to? How much sleep we get? What our face looks like when we're pooping? But now, Apple is going to give you a little more control over how widely that information is shared. You know how it goes. You search for something online, then see an ad on Facebook or Instagram for that exact item. Well, Apple is making it harder for apps to track your online activity.
Starting point is 00:10:12 When you're using apps on your iPhone, you may start to see this. Apple users must now give permission for apps to track your online activity data before you can only opt out. It's about time. Jenny Gephardt is with the privacy nonprofit, the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Switching from opt out to opt in is huge. That is what's going to really make a lot more users opt out of this tracking feature that wasn't built for users, it was built for advertisers.
Starting point is 00:10:39 That's right, people. With the new iOS update, you have to opt in in to to to to to to to to to to the new iOS update, you have to opt in to being tracked online instead of having to opt out. And I know it might seem like a small change, but this is a huge deal, because people are lazy as shit. Like, think about it. If Apple said that they were going to put all your nudes online unless you opt it out, you'd probably be like, what? No ways! Where's that opt-out option? Ah, settings, general! Where? Where? Where? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th? th, th? th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi? And, thi. thi. thi. thi. And thi. thi. And, 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 th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. the? the the the the theoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo? And, thi. And, you'd probably be like, what? No ways! Where's that opt-out option? Ah, settings, general. Where? You know what? I'm proud of my third nipple.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Let's just do this. I don't care anymore. I got things to do. And people don't understand how much information Facebook is actually getting from your other apps. Like, if you're in Atlanta and you check the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to th and th and th and th and th and th and thi Is my phone listening to me? No, it's the apps. Like, if you're in Atlanta and you check the weather in Vermont, it won't wait for you to search for a winter coat
Starting point is 00:11:30 before it starts showing you ads for one. And if you've been ordering pizza every night on GrubHub, well, then the ads will show you a coat. That's two sizes up. So, this new privacy feature is good news for iPhone users, but it turns out it's very bad news for one of Apple's biggest rivals, Facebook. In fact, it's so bad for them that they've started throwing up pop-ups, begging everyone to let them keep tracking us and warning us that if we don't, Facebook might stop being free of charge.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And I'm not going to lie people, that seems like an empty threat to me. Because who would pay to be on Facebook with the type of people willing to pay to be on Facebook? I mean, that's like if a crack house had a cover charge. I actually wouldn't mind if Facebook started charging people, because I think if they did, maybe people would actually think for a second before they posted. The government puts fluoride in the water to brainwash us post. Two dollars? Well, I'll keep it to myself. Now, the reason Facebook needs to track its users is so that it can't charge big bucks
Starting point is 00:12:38 to advertisers who want to target very specific audiences. But Rock Zuckerberg knows that people don't care if he can't afford to give his Hovercroft the Lamborghini for its birthday. So instead, he's asking you to think about the poor companies that'll suffer if he can't track you. Facebook said Apple's move will harm their small business advertisers.
Starting point is 00:12:59 It's gonna kill us. But from Monique Wilson DeBriano, who was featured in a Facebook campaign and owns Charleston Gourmeyburger, the change has already affected sales and she's had to cut costs. It's not about, you know, small businesses, you know, wanting to take away anyone's privacy. All we want to do is really to service our customers better. So if someone loves hamburgers and they're looking for something that is just awesome, you know, to make your hamburgers taste better, I would like to show my ad to you. And this update takes that away from small
Starting point is 00:13:33 businesses like mine. Okay, now this is interesting. I mean, I don't like getting tracked, but it is true that it does help some small businesses target their ads, you know, and th. and th. and th. and their, and their, and th, and th, and their th, and th, and th, and th, and th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-and thui, thui, you know, you know, thi, thr-nus, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-ni, thr-ni, to-a'''a'augh, to to try, to to to to to be try, to make thauui small businesses target their ads, you know. And the truth is in life, bad things can't have good side effects. You know, it's like how serial killers are bad. We all agree that they're bad. But you do get a lot of really interesting podcast out of them. Yeah? No. So I can see what Facebook is trying to argue here. They're saying, do you really want to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small small to hurt small small small small business business business business business business business business business business business business business business to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small business small business small businesses to hurt small businesses to hurt small businesses to hurt small businesses to hurt small businesses to hurt small businesses to hurt small business to hurt small their small to hurt small to hurt small to hurt small here. They're saying, Do you really want to hurt small businesses before Amazon has a chance to bankrupt them? And honestly, I wouldn't mind targeted ads that much,
Starting point is 00:14:12 but the thing is, it's how. It is how Facebook tracks all of us that I don't like. Like, it will be one thing if Facebook asked me, Hey, Trevor, do you like ha hamburger to to to to to to But what Facebook actually does is basically just send some guy named Gary to just stalk my entire life. Hey, Trevor, I heard you like hamburgers. What? How did you know that? He? He? He, he, I read an email you said to your girlfriend. He, hmm.
Starting point is 00:14:43 So, maybe you're still not swayed by the effect of this change on small businesses. And that's why Facebook is also warning of the bleak future that awaits all of us if they can't track our every movement anymore. Facebook's pushing back. It relies on that data to target consumers with relevant ads. So if people do opt out, here's what Facebook says could happen. Say a young man is looking for a new pair of sneakers on his phone. Facebook claims that with Apple's new rules,
Starting point is 00:15:11 it won't be able to use his search history and information about what other apps he uses to show him ads for things he wants to buy. So on Facebook or Instagram, he could end up seeing ads for women's clothing or furniture. Really? This is a real argument? Come on man, get the fuck out of here, guys. We've lived our entire lives watching untargeted ads, right? TV ads, newspaper ads, billboards. None of those were targeted, and we were fine. All right?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Now, all of a sudden, they're making it seem like we can't live without them. Like we the their their their to their their their their to their their they they to to to their to to to th, th. th. th. th. th. th. to to th. to to to to to to to to to thi, to thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. We've, we've, th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. We've th. th. We've th. th. th. th. th. t. t. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. to together, together, toeeeateateateateateateateateateateateateateateate. We're together. We're together. together. together. We've together. t like we can't live without them. Like we're gonna be like, oh no, oh no, I'll have to watch untargeted ads, but how will I know if a product isn't for me? What if I buy tampons because I didn't know that I don't have a period? What if I buy dog food? But I don't have a dog? Am I a dog? Am I a dog? Am I dog one tampon? I don't know? We can handle untargeted ads. In fact, sometimes untargeted ads introduce you to things that you never knew you needed. Yeah, like a shower seat. I didn't think about that before I came to America. And then now that I'm here, I realize, just because I'm not 80, doesn't mean I can't get clean and comfortable. And you know, on top of all that, Facebook makes it seem like all they use that data for is to sell us the products that we want.
Starting point is 00:16:26 But don't forget that the reason you often only see posts that make you mad as hell is because of all the time Facebook is tracking you and they use that targeting to piss you off. It's not a coincidence that Facebook is always telling you that Joe Biden is going to make the Bible Spanish only, or that Trump stole all the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail the mail to to the mail to the mail to their to make the Bible Spanish only, or that Trump stole all the mailboxes to give to Kim Jong-un. It's because they know how to keep you engaged for as long as possible, and they know this by tracking you. And again, I'm not pro-Apple here, but Apple didn't build their entire business model. Facebook did. And if moving society away from tracking people means that Gary has to find a new job, then you know what? So be it.
Starting point is 00:17:09 But then Trev, who will recommend creams for your toniar fungus? Get the fuck out of here, Gary. All right, when we come back, Roywood Jr. tells us about black royals who aren't named Megan and Michael B. Jordan is joining us on the show. So don't go away. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling. But that's all about to change.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Did you know that it is legal to talk about Black History Month? It is. legal to talk about black history even when it's not black history month? It is. So to learn about some forgotten moments of black history, we turn now to Roywood Jr.
Starting point is 00:18:13 in another editionto CP Time. The only show that's full of culture. Today we'll be discussing the history of black royalty. Because it's not just Megan Markle after she got married to Ed Sheeran. History is full of black kings and queens that never got the chance to sit down with Oprah. For example, Shaka Z that never got the chance to sit down with Oprah. For example, Shaka Zulu. He was the founder of the Zulu Empire and the leader of one of the greatest fighting
Starting point is 00:18:53 forces in African history. He also had to fly his name of all time. Shaka Zulu. I get chills just saying it. Half the reason people followed them was because of that name. If Shaka Zulu had been named Herman Carothers, safe to say there would be no empire. Shaka transformed the Zulu tribe from one of the smallest clans in the region to a mighty kingdom and he did it all without wearing a shirt. You have to be a good leader to do that. If Prince Charles try out ruling without a shirt, the monarchy would be over by the end of the date.
Starting point is 00:19:26 King Shaka was eventually killed by his two brothers, those closest to him. That's why I avoid family reunions. My brothers might try to take me out so they can get control of my travel spoon collection. Back off Leroy, these spoons of mine, mother-feefee. Moving on, Queen Omena of Zousa. She started with a small regional power and soon conquered all the surrounding areas. She was basically like a dunk and donut, just took the whole place over. Although she never married, Queen Amina did have a complicated love life, taking lovers in every city she conquered and then killing them.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yet for some reason, men still went to sleep with her, even though they knew it would be fatal. We are truly the dumbest gender. Never trust a big button to smile. Next we move on to 1940s Ethiopia and its ruler Emperor Halle Selassie or his official title his imperial majesty Holly Salasi the first conquering lion of the tribe of Judah king of kings and elect of God. That's how you know somebody is important when their name is the tribe of Judah, king of kings, and elect of God. That's how you know somebody's important, when their name is their resume.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I'd be Roywood Jr., Bachelor of Arts, subscriber of Netflix, and second screen of the Crown Heights, YMCA over 60 Basketball League, the first. Now, Selassie wasn't just the Emperor of Ethiopia. He was also regarded as the Bessaer of all black people by Rastafarians. You know you have influence when there's an entire religion built around you. The only other black person to accomplish that was Jesus. Don't argue with me about Jesus race. I know Jesus was black because the court found him guilty with no evidence. Solase went on to institute major reforms to Ethiopian society like creating
Starting point is 00:21:34 the first written constitution of Ethiopia where he outlawed slavery. That's right. Slavery still existed in the 20th century. That's you've got to read that travel journal before taking a vacation. I went on a discount cruise to an unmapped island one time and ended up a small island woman's indentured servant for six months. It's safe to say I left a strongly worded yet review for that cruise. Never trust a big butt in a smile. Well that's all the time we have for today. I'm Roy Wood Jr. and this has been CP time. And remember, with further culture.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And I meant what I said, Leroy, these spoons ain't the only Michael B. Jordan will be joining me on the show, and maybe just maybe I'll get him to take off his shirt. Ooh, hoo-hoo. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. Rolling? But that's all
Starting point is 00:22:50 about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apples starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. My guest tonight is actor and producer Michael B. Jordan. He's here to talk about his latest role as action hero John Clark and being a force of change on and off screen in Hollywood. Michael B. Jordan, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. What's going on, man? Thanks for having me. This is dish really good.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Thank you for being here, man. Thank you so much for being here. Congratulations. I just watched the film. I think everybody else has on Amazon Prime without remorse. Before we talk about the movie, I just want to know, how much more muscle are you planning to create like from your human body like like at one point because I mean like the whole movie I'm watching you and it's very discouraging Michael because I stay at home and I eat and I eat ice cream and then when I see you I'm like do do you do.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Do you eat anything like what like who are you man? I mean who I just was about to eat some strawberry donut so I do I do eat a lot I've actually let myself go in recent months it It's been, it's been, it's been pretty bad. Quarantine has taken its toll on this body. But no, no, I mean, you know, whenever I got to lock in and actually like trains, you know, transform my body for a role. It's a, it's, you know, I can get the job done. Cree 3 is coming up so I'm'm gonna have to change it pretty soon. I thought I could catch up to you when you were playing a lawyer. So I was like, yeah, I could do this. I could have a Michael B. Jordan lawyer body.
Starting point is 00:24:31 And then Michael B. Jordan's like, I'm a boxer and a Navy SEL. I was like, yeah, no, go work out with Michael B. Jordan, to feel what about myself, Michael? What are you trying to do? Feel great? You're gonna feel great. No, the first couple of days you're gonna feel death. But then after that, you're gonna feel great. You're gonna feel good.
Starting point is 00:24:54 You're gonna look even better better, which is fucking. Let's talk about the movie. Tom Clancy, man, anybody who's loved the books, anybody who's loved the games, I mean, I grew up playing Rainbow Six, you know, I'm sure so did you. This movie without remorse, I watched it with my brother and he was just like, he was like, man, this is amazing. He was like, this is so much fun. Like I haven't seen an action movie make this something special. You know, first of all, thank you. Appreciate that man. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. You know, but just like you, I was at home as a kid playing Rainbow Six video game for
Starting point is 00:25:32 hours and, you know, where my mom would yell at me and get your boy, get off that damn game. You know, it was like, you know, and I would be in there and their their these missions. So when I had an opportunity to take, you know, a Tom Clancy, you know, favorite, you know, like in John Kelly and give it a, you know, a breath of fresh air, modernize it, make it more reflection of the world that we live in today. I mean, these type of movies are the things that I grew up watching. Like, I love like, action movies, you know, movie, and I'm gonna do my own stunts. And this was the one for me to check that box. You trained with, like, it was actual Navy Seal training that you went through for this movie, right?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah, I worked with, you know, ex-military divers, for a lot of the water work that we had to do. Really, every stunt that thr-I I thiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thr-a, thr-a, thi. thi, thr-a, thr-a, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the they-s, they-s. they-s, they-s, they-s. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thau. thau. thau. tr-s, thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. train, trained, trained, trained, train, t I spent, you know, enough time and get comfortable with the within the stunt and they went out and executed. One of the most terrifying stunts in the movie and I won't spoil it for the people involves you in the ocean underwater in a vessel. I won't tell the people what vessel it is. Don't spoil anything. But like you just you just under water. The camera doesn't cut as well. That's the the camera doesn just follow you, holding your breath, swimming underwater, swimming underwater, swimming, and I was like, no, Michael didn't do this, but you actually did that. Yeah, those are the, that was the one that,
Starting point is 00:26:54 you know, it took us about a week and a half to shoot. And every day I would get to set and I would be like, who wrote this? Why did we decide to do this? It was my favorite thing and then it was my least favorite, like, I mean, I hate it. And then I fell in love with it all over again once we finished it, just because we accomplished it and we got it done. You know, so I mean, it was very ambitious, but it was something that I had to do because Stefano wanted to shoot it in a way that you knew it was me doing those stunts. So yeah, it was something I have to train it really really hard for. What I loved about the story, and you know, to talk to your idea of modernizing the thing
Starting point is 00:27:34 is, you know, I know Tom Clancy's novel as well. I've read the books, I've the books, I've read, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played, I've, I've played, I've played, I've played, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the books, the the the the, the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th..... thrown. train.e.e. train.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. tr. tr. tr. tr. throwne. thrown. thrown. th made you think about this from the perspective of the military personnel you know people who go out there and go I'm fighting for my country only to find out and we've seen that where there was with 9-11 or whatever in America where they go like oh this is false pretenses but this is actually my life you've always been somebody who's been passionate about like you know you you know telling military personnel stories or connecting thr.. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. And I I I I I I I I I I I their. their. their their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their. their their their. their their their their their their th. And I's th. the. the. the. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And their their their the. the. their their or connecting with them as human beings, that part of the story seemed really important to you. And I'd love to know what you were hoping to achieve in telling that part of the story. I think it's just that. You know, the honesty of what it's like, what it's like, from the soldiers perspective, who has a family, who has things that they care about, you know, their thii's th th th th th th thin thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's to have to have to have to have to have to have thi. to have thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. to thi, 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 th. thi. to thi. to thi. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. their the. to to to to to to to to to to to to they care about. You know, obviously they're dedicated to a service, to a country,
Starting point is 00:28:26 in order to, you know, protect the oath, you know what I'm saying, to, to, to, to, to uphold those values. But when that, but when that comes home and and you feel betrayed, you know, and you're being lied to on so many different levels, you know, how far would a man go to get those answers? You know, I think we all felt like this at one point. We feel so small. We feel like, we, like, you know, I'm one person. What is my opinion or what is, what can I do to possibly change this bigger thing,
Starting point is 00:28:56 this bigger elephant that for majority of the movie until he started to really feel like, no, I'm taking the power back. I actually can make a difference. I can't. They're going to see me. They're going to feel me. You know, I mean, they're going to feel what they messed up. And I think, you know, just getting people to think a, but at the same time, to start asking questions. You gotta hide medicine and food sometimes, you gotta put a little sugar with the medicine, and this is a cool vehicle to have fun, but also to think, too.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, man, I think part of what helps the people think in this story is who the storytellers are. I mean, you're amazing. You have fans all over the world because of that. But you have to admit, man, your cast was phenomenal in this film. Let's talk a little bit about Jodie Turner Smith. People fell in love with her in Queen and Slim. She's back again in this film. What was also amazing is seeing a woman, and not just a woman, but a black woman assuming a high position, not just in the film, but in the story as well. Like, there there there there there there there there wasn't like, oh, you know, the guy's got to help her.
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's like, no, no, no, she's a soldier. She's here to fight. She's doing her thing. That felt like an interesting way to tell the story in a way that we haven't really seen growing up as, you know, first black female commander, you know what I'm saying, in the Navy, Navy, Navy, Navy, Navy Seals was something that we, that we, that we definitely made a choice with.
Starting point is 00:30:35 It was a scene in there where, you know, we're you know, try to rescue and save, you know, Greer and by the time I get there, it's already neutralized and handled, you know, I mean, so it was, it was, it was, um, yeah, man, it was really good to see that, man. And I think, you know, what representation does is so, is so important. And we want that that to inspire. that, that, thapap. that, tho, thi. thi. that, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. to, to, to. to. to. to. t. ti. ti. ti. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th out there that maybe thought that that wasn't possible or not for them that they can go ahead and try to get that too. Michael B. Jordan is now a movie maker, a movie producer. You've got a mega deal with Amazon. You're going to be creating content. You're helping others create content.
Starting point is 00:31:16 You are a superstar in every single right. I mean, 20 20 saw you voted as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Where does life go from here for Michael B. Jordan? Like, what are your goals now? What do you want to do? It's downhill from here, let's be honest. Where do you go? It's all downhill from here. I mean, why not try my hand and direct thing? I think that's kind of like the next challenge, man, is to get behind the camera, the camera, the camera, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, thin, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, tho, what, tho, what, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and, and, tho, and, and, thin.... thin. thin. too, too, too, too, too. too. toe. toean, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what's, what, what, what's, what's, what, what's, what, what, what's, what's, for me, the next challenge, man, is to get behind the camera and tell a story.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And like, Creed 3 is the perfect vehicle for myself, because, you know, the third time I'll be playing any character, you know, knowing the world, you know, knowing how to, you know, to film the boxing elements of it all, following such a strong system, you know, by Sly that he created with the Rocky Films and that that that that that that the that the the crea, that that th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th........ is, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, they, they, they, you, you know, they. And, their, thi. And, you're, thi. And, their, thi. And, thi, that the creed continue to do. You know, I guess as an actor, growing up in the industry, you're taking direction, you know, all the time from every set that you work on and when you get to a point in age, you like, well, I kind of want the camera set up here, and I want to tell it through this lens, and I think it's the perfect time for me right thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown. thrown, thrown, thrown, throwne, you, thrown, thi, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you...........

I'm today, ta. I'm ta. I'm toe. I'm toe. I'm toe. toe. toe. toe. throwne. th it's the perfect time for me right now. So I'm really excited about jumping off the deep end and getting behind the camera and telling the story. Well, if you don't do that, you can go and shoot people. I think you're very good at that now.
Starting point is 00:32:36 You can go and fight people. I think you're extremely good at that now. And if that fails, mean you realize you could probably be a boxer with all the training you've done now you do realize that right? I could be okay I mean I got so much respect for those boxes man it's it's insane but you know you trained I'm just saying I'm just saying like Michael beat I will put my money on you in a fight you know what I appreciate that that means a lot because I will put my money on me in a fight to yeah yeah I but you to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th.
