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. 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. December 18th, 2019.

From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. And thank you for coming out. Thank you so much for coming out. Let's see it, everybody. I'm Trevor today.

Thank you so much for coming out. Thank you so much for coming out. Let's see it, everybody. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight was the villain in Aquaman, but the hero in HBO's hit show, Watchmen. Yahya Abdul Matine the second is joining us everybody. He's going to be on a show. Also on tonight's episode, Ronnie Chang cancels Christmas. How to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid to kid'm going to have a great conversation. Also, on tonight's episode, Ronnie Chang cancels Christmas. How to Kidnap yourself. And congratulations, President Trump, you made history. So, let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with a story that took place in New York, but had the whole country talking. Yesterday, residents of the city were interrupted by an amber alert on their phones, saying., how, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their to their their their their to their to their to to to kid, how to kid, how to kidook place in New York but had the whole country talking.

Yesterday, residents of the city were interrupted by an amber alert on their phones, saying a 16-year-old had been kidnapped in the Bronx. And although this was a scary story for a while, it turns out there was no actual kidnapping, but what did happen was way more insane. What appeared to have been a violent kidnapping is over tonight. A teenage girl here in New York is safe after she was grabbed by two men. It sparked an amber alert, but was it all a hoax? Two men jump out of a car in the Bronx and grab a 16-year-old as she walked down the sidewalk next to her mother. Well, after a frantic day of searching, the girl admitted, she staged her own abduction,

to run away from her family. She told detectives that her mother was too protective. The two had reportedly argued about a plan to leave the United States for Honduras. A mother's worst nightmare is over. While there's a chance, her daughter's legal troubles are only just beginning. Wow. There was an amber alert, but now she's saying she faked her own kidnapping. Whatever you do, please do not try this if if th if th if th if th if th if th if thi thi thi th if th if thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their their thi, thi, 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, her own kidnapping. Whatever you do, please do not try this if you have African parents. Yeah, because you'll be like, I faked my kidnapping and they'll be like, but your funeral will be real, eh?

Now, the reason this blew up online is because there are real cases of sex trafficking, and people are worried that this kind of story would undermine some of those stories. You know, not to mention, a fake kidnapping will really confuse Liam Niesen, you know? Yeah, because every time he gets a call from now on, he's going to be like, I have a particular set of skills, skills that I will use to wait. Is by the way, you know what, I don't understand? Whenever someone goes missing, we all get an amber alert. But how come we don't get another alert when the person is found? Huh?

Because now some of us are still on the streets looking, huh? Just like running around. Like, ah, green Honda Civic! told you. Person, like, that's a thrown. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thooooooooooooooooooo. the tho. the tho. the tail light. Get out of here. Here's what should happen. I think if someone's kidnapped, we should all get an Amber Alert. And if they find out it's a hoax, we should all get a Jussie Smollett alert, okay? Yeah? That makes sense.

That makes sense. All right, let's move on. Millions unveiled its redesigned cabin that features more comfortable seats and bigger tray tables. Spirit says the seats will offer two extra inches of usable legroom and full-sized tables. The change coming after the carrier faced a lot of criticism over the years about thin seats and tight legroom space. The new interior is currently installed on one airplane so far, but the plan is to try and make it available available the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha the thiiiia the the legroom space. The new interior is currently installed on one airplane so far, but the plan is to try and make it available across the entire fleet. Yeah! Spirit Airlines has finally upgraded their planes. And can I just say I'm so proud?

More leg room, a full-sized trade table, and just look at those seats, huh? I mean, sure, it looks like they stole them from the Delta Terminal, but still, but still, but still. And you also could argue that a full-size trade table is a weird thing to brag about, but on the bright side, now you have room to put the meal they don't give you. This is great. So congratulations, Spirit. Congratulations, Spurt. I mean, we dissed them a lot on the show, but this is a big improvement over their old seats, which was just a dirty couch they found on the street. I think that's great. All right, let's move on. Finally, we have a major story that is shaking California. And actually, you know what, for this story, can we, I'm going to need some help? Can we get Roy, can we get Roy, can we get Roy, can't th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, 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, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thr, throooooooooooo, the, thee, thr, thr, thi, thi, thi, join me at the desk? Yeah, I just...

No, because Roy has got a great perspective. I just wanted to chat to you. About Roy to Junior. What's up, man? What's happening? What's happening? I just need some help with this next story. Man, that's weird.

You never needed help during the headlines. No, but this one's, this one's different. It's a very big story, and I just need you to stay here. And, uh, let's roll the tape. Police in Southern California say an artist appears to have sketched the man who stole his money. Detectives say this is a caricature of the suspect in a robbery at Riverside's festival of lights this month. The guy asked the artist to make the drawing when it was done. The suspect grabbed a bag with

about $500 in it and ran off, but he left the picture behind. Police posted it on Facebook with the message, do you recognize this caricature? The message went on to say that the character's is one of the suspect but of, there are exaggerated characteristics and features. So, okay, I don't know, okay. So you're gonna do me like that. That's fine. So, let me ask you something. When you asked me to wear a red hat to work today, it wasn't because you thought a red hat would look good on me in the holidays or whatever

It was a joke No, I also I also like the hat I also like your hat, but also for the joke. Are we done can't try? We're done. Can I go back? to you. tell you? to their try. to be to the too. tod. tod. tod. tod. try. try. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. toda. today. today. the the the the the the the the the the their the the the 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 tod. tod. tod. toda. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. It's today. It's today. today. It's today. It to do, man. It's like you look like that guy. It's not me. Don't be mad. It's not me. All right, let's just for the headlines. Let's move on to the spam folder. After 85 days of inquiries and debates, today was finally the big day. So, let's see how it all went down in another installment of the magical, wonderful road to impeachment. The magical, wonderful road to impeachment.

Where we go? That's probably presidential harassment. Ever since the impeachment inquiry began back in September, there have been many days that have felt historic. The announcements, the testimonies, the day that Trump and Giuliani accidentally switched dentures and talk like each other the whole day. But as historic as those days were, today was the most historic of all. This Wednesday will long be remembered, President Trump set to become were, today was the most historic of all. This Wednesday will long be remembered,

President Trump set to become the third president in American history to be impeached. On this truly historic day, President Donald J. Trump is facing the harshest and rarest of rebukes by the United States House of Representatives. A day for the history books. This is a moment that will go down in history books. This will be written about in the history books. This is a moment that will go down in history. This will be written about in the history books. This is going to go down in the history books. A day that'll go down in the history books. Trump must be miserable right now.

Because those are the two things he hates the most. History books and going down. And regardless of how you feel about impeachment, today is historic. Because Trump is only the 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, that's, that's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi... thi. thi. theeeean. thi. thi. theean. thi. theean. that's that's that's that's that's thi is only the third president ever to be impeached. Yeah, they're gonna carve his face on impeachment Mount Rushmore, right? Which, just to be clear, will be appropriately located in the worst place imaginable, the Port Authority bathroom. That's where it is.

So there's no doubt that impeachment will hurt Trump's legacy bigly. But it also seems like it's hurting his feelings. President Trump incensed, lashing out in a scathing six-page letter to the House Speaker, calling the impeachment process outlined by the Constitution an illegal partisan attempted coup. He's just fired off a tweet. Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the radical left? Do nothing Democrats and I did nothing wrong, a terrible thing. Read the transcripts, this should never happen to another president again. Say a prayer.

You know, is it just me? Or does it seem like Trump went through all the stages of grief in one tweets? It was like, denial, I can't believe I'm getting impeached. Anger, I did nothing wrong. Depression, this is a terrible thing. Acceptance, I guess we can only pray. You know Trump, you know Trump reminds me of in that tweet, is like, remember when you were a kid, who was going to get a spanking, but then your parents told you it was going to happen later because they didn't have time. And then the whole day was just you in a state of panic.

That's what Trump sounds like in that tweet. Just trying to get support from anyone. You'd just be like a child running out. My mom said, I didn't break the thing. They said I didn't do it. Pray for me. Oh, pray for me. But as upset as Trump sounds, his Republican minions in the House seemed even more angry. Because they spent the day on the floor of the House competing to see who could make impeachment sound the worst. History will not treat Democrats well.

They'll be forever remembered as the Senator Joe McCarthy's of our time. On December 7th, 1941, a horrific act happened in the United States, and this is one that President Roosevelt said, this is a date that will live in infamy. Today, December the 18th, 2019, is another date that will live in infamy. When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president.

Holy shit! Did these guys just compare impeachment to Pearl Harbor and what happened to Jesus? What? Did they just Google bad things and then click, I'm feeling lucky? Is that what happened? First of all, people actually died at Pearl Harbor. No one is dying here. And secondly, Jesus was tortured and then nailed to the cross. That is way worse than what's happening to Trump. And even if Trump was going to be put on the the to be on to be on the the to be on to be on the to be on the back on the back on to be on the back on to be on to be on the to be on the to be on to be on the to be on to be on to be to be to be to be to be the the the to be tooblehaulhaulhaulhaulhahaul harbor tol Harbor tol Harbor tol tol tol tol tol to the cross. That is way worse than what's happening to Trump. And even if Trump was going to be put on the cross,

he'd never carry it himself. He'd probably put it on the back of a golf cart, all right? All right? Oh, it's just the same. It's not the same. There's not even close. So House Republicans spent the 63 million people who voted for Donald Trump.

Which is kind of ironic because Donald Trump would never be able to hold a moment of silence for himself. Yeah, it just be like, let's have a moment of silence. Wow, this is the greatest moment of silence ever. Listen to how silent it is. So silent. No silence has ever sounded like this before. I can't believe how silent it is. So powerful.

But even though, so powerful! Yo, yo, we get it. But even though this was a bad day for Republicans, that doesn't mean that Democrats were gloating. In fact, all day, they wanted everyone to know that this impeachment made them very, very sad. Madam Speaker, this is a sad day in U.S. history. When we have to vote on articles of impeachment,

It's a sad day. It's going to be a somber day around here. It's with profound sadness that I stand here today. We think this is a very serious and sad day. I was just talking to a Democratic Congresswoman who's wearing a dark dress to show the somber nature of the day, the gravity of the day. It is tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary. He gave us no choice. Oh, that's right. All day the Democrats were roaming the halls of Congress sad and depressed, just walking

around like a living Adele album. Hello, impeach. Anyway, for more on the mood in Washington, let's go to our senior impeachment correspondent, Michael Costa, everybody. Michael, you're in D.C. right now at the Democratic Party headquarters. All the Democrats say they're sad, but wasn't today a win for them? It's not about winning, Trevor. It's an impeachment, not an arm wrestling match

against my six-year-old nephew, OK? Democrats take no pleasure in doing this. No matter what you think about Trump, no one is happy when the president is impeached. Wait, is that champagne? What was that? Yes, it's grieving champagne. Democrats are passing it around so everyone can pour one out for democracy.

No, but I think when you pour one out, you're supposed to pour it on the floor, Costa. Come on, this is Chris Stahl. This is for special, this is for special, this is for special... This is for special... Sad occasions. Like, this is for special sad occasions. Like this dark day. You know, it's weird, Michael, because it feels like Democrats are acting sad, but then deep down, they're actually happy about this.

Now, Trevor, you're reading this all wrong, okay? The... You're reading this all wrong, okay? The mood here, it's downright depressing. Yeah, Nancy, today sucked, huh? Hey, save me one of those Jaeger Bobs, girl. Oh, come on, Costa. Party hats and Jaeger bombs, clearly for Democrats. This is a party. Trevor. You know, shame on you, this is not a party at all. I am surrounded by sadness. Dude, you must think I'm an idiot.

Like, I don't get why Democrats are pretending to be sad, right? They've wanted to impeach Trump for ages. This has to make them at least a little bit happy. It's just like... Wait, Costa. Is that music I'm hearing? Yeah, Trev, there is too much sadness to fit into that space, so we moved it to the club. So now we're just grinding away our sorrows. All right, man, I don't buy it.

The Democrats are happy. It's obvious. Trevor, Trevor, I can literally taste the sadness, okay? Although that might just be the Molly kicking in. Am I talking about it? All right, don't be saddler the night. We got to work tomorrow. Michael Costa, everybody, we'll be right back. There's there.

There's 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. 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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show. It's officially the holiday season, a time for family, togetherness and cocktails with eggs for some reason. But you better enjoy it while it lasts. Ronnie Chang tells us why in another installment

of Everything is Stupid. It's just another excuse for you people to send me stupid pictures of your family. Oh, great, another baby dressed as an elf. Wow, thanks for the reminder to get a vasectomy. It's just another excuse for you people to send me stupid pictures of your family. Oh, great, another baby dressed as an elf? Wow, thanks for the reminder to get a vasectomy. But now, thanks to all these stupid world leaders not giving a shit about climate change, everything you love about Christmas is going to disappear, starting with Christmas trees. This year your Christmas tree could wind up costing you more than you've spent in the past. At this farm outside Los Angeles, the average

tree costs around a hundred bucks. Nationwide, a fresh-cut Christmas tree now averages $76, double what it cost in 2008. Blame it on climate change. Rising temperatures, wildfires, and drought have all made farming more challenging. Yeah, that's right. Climate change is taking away Christmas trees. By 2050, they're going to be so expensive that the tree will be the present. Okay? How are you going to trick kids into behaving that way? Listen, you better be good all year or you're not going to get a Douglas

fur for Christmas. Why do people want Christmas trees in the house anyway? All they do is shed pine the fluce. thioln. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. the floor. If that's what you're into, just call me, I'll stab you in the foot for free. And it's not just trees that are going away. Climate change is going to kill Santa's transportation too. In our Eye on Earth series, we'll take you to Santa's hometown in the North Pole where climate change is threatening the reindeer population. The reindeer feed even through the snow, on lichen, a mossy plant they dig down through the snow to get at. Except when all that thawing and re-freezing means they can't. And when the snow turns to ice, what happens to the reindeer?

We have to feed them. You know things are bad when your entire species depends on a guy in a weird hat. Okay? I mean, what if you oversleeps one day? He'll be like, oh shit, my alarm didn't go off. Now I need to dig a mass reindeer grave. And this is a big problem, okay? Because without reindeer, how is Santa going to get around? He's going to have to hitchhike around the world, trading rides for hand jobs. Okay? But guess what?

The climate crisis is coming for our New Year's drinks too. Another popular consumer item that's expected to get a lot more expensive. Proseco! Climate change is doing a number on the grapes that make the sparkling wine. Powlo Tomicella says extreme weather is posing new challenges at his vineyard. Climate change is a big problem. When it's hot, when it's raining, it's rain very much. Proseco, he explained, should have low alcohol and high acidity. But high temperatures and earlier ripening produce the opposite effect.

That's right, thanks to climate change, Proseco is going to cost more and taste worse. Although, to be fair, if you care about tasks, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you would the the the the the the th, you would th, you would the, you would the, you would the, thiiiiiiiiole, thiole, thiole, to be to be to be to be to be to be thiole, to beaicic- to beaicicic, when when when thiol- thiol- thiol- thiol- thiol- thi, when when when when when when thi, when thi, when thi, thi, thi, thiol-n-, Proseco is gonna cost more and taste worse. Although, to be fair, if you care about taste, you wouldn't be drinking Proseco, okay, you peasants. Proseco is just champagne that dropped out of high school. Okay? You know what, my holiday drinker choice is? It's good old-fashioned rubbing alcohol. That's right.

Sure, it'll make you go blind, but that's when the party really starts. So, happy new everyone. Spoiler, the 2020 is going to be worse. Ronnie Chang, everyone. Give it right back. Wait, who said that? Wences? 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. 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. Welcome back to the daily show.

And then like, I just watched us as well, like a little period. And then I was like, you're everywhere.

But at the same time, it's like, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, I, 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, 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, the beard that connects, being able to wear a mustache, being able to grow an Afro, you know. I wonder if you have fans who don't even know that they're like your, like they, you have a fan, you have a fan base who's just in like DC world. I do, I do. I have, I have fans from a so-called The Get Down. That was my first job. Right. Okay. One or two or three. I see, uh, and they don't, sometimes they don't know that I'm the same person that was in, let's say, uh, the greatest showman. Right, right. You know, people from the greatest showman definitely don't know that I was in Baywatch. You know what I mean? You know, it really is. It really is, 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, th is, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the greatest, the, the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, cool is you have this presence on screen, but at the same time, you can blend in and be anybody. Watchmen, though, is just like, it feels like it's become

bigger than just a show. It feels like it's become a cultural phenomenon. Yeah, absolutely. You know, it's a powerful story. What I found interesting was you, you know what I mean? I see the breakdown and says Cal and he says, well, he's, you know, kind of mysterious and I'm like, you get to, yeah, married to Regina King, you know, married to Angela A-boy. My HBO signed me up. I want to do that, right? And, and it was cool, and it and it, and it, and it, and it was cool, and it, and it, and it, and it was cool, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you the, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, the, the, the, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the break, the break, the break, the break, the break, 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. th. the. the. the. thea, the. the. thea. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that was just really, really a gift. I had already shot the first episode and maybe even the second. And then I had a conversation with Damon and he let me in on the big secret about the

show. It's been a cultural phenomenon for so many reasons. One, because it's a brilliant exploration of like comic book characters and like that world, but then at the same time because it's based on something that something, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th.

And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, because it's based on something that happened in America, you know? Tulsa, Oklahoma is one of those stories where you watch the beginning of Watchman, and a lot of people go like, wow, this is a wild story. But then people actually started searching and learned that it was a true story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Do lot of ways our world, our United States. And so a lot of these stories, you know, these action figure stories, they don't always use events from real history. Watchman is a show that says, okay, well, you know what, we're going to say something about America, we're gonna use real American history, and it seems shocking. We're gonna shoot it on a scale that is unbelievable. Right, but it's actually the truth.

You know, this history, these massacres that took place in Oklahoma, they're actually true. And in our show, we say, yes, this happened. And then we wen, we wen, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, yes, yes, we th, th, th, thu, thu, thu, thu, we thu, we thu, we thu, we thu, we th, we th, we s s s s s s s s s s s s s sa, we're th, we're th, we're the, we're the, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, we're th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, the, the, theeeeeeeeat, to shoot, to shoot, to shoot, to shoot, thea, theaugh, the, theeeeeeeeee, the, the, thuma is passed down from generation to generation to generation. Three generations later we see it, we see Angela, Angela Abar, still dealing with the trauma of a hundred years ago. Right, right, right. Which is, which is something that actually still happens today. That's what really has made it so powerful. It almost explains the legacy of so many, thi that that happens so long ago, and then you realize how it can really really really really really really really it really it really it can it can it can it can it can it can it can it can it can it can the the the the thi the the thi the the thi the the thi the the the the the thi the the the the the the the the thi the the the legacy of systemic racism. It explains the legacy of so many things that people go like,

oh, that happened so long ago, and then you realize how it can have a knock-on effect. One other part of the show that I think makes it really successful is you being topless or naked in it. Um, oh, oh. I see a couple people out there who are just not, they're not impressed. No, no, they haven't seen you yet. They're angry because they haven't seen it. That's what that is.

But I feel like, like, if people write you into a movie or a show, they have to, they have to find a way to get a few shirts. No, because you have an amazing body. thanks. I thi tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, they they tha, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they they they're, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, because, like, because, because, because, like, because, because, because, like, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, they they they they they they they they tha. they're, like, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, like, they're, like, they're, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're, like, like, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, it. You do though. You have an amazing body. I wasn't expecting to come on and get compliments. Yeah, but you do though. But I like, I wonder, I wonder, do they ever like, do they ever like, do they ever like write it in like a weird way where it's just like, and then there's a fire in the living room

and he takes somebody shut to put out a fire going to do. No but this is the thing I don't always have a six-pack I just tend to find myself perpetually getting getting ready for roles that required me to work out but the day the last day like for watchman for example the last day that I stopped going to the gym for months right I to to try and to the to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the the to to the to the to to to to to the 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 to to to to to to to to 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 the the toooo-a. toe. toe. toe. to toe. the gym about one month ago, but I took a five month hiatus because I don't enjoy working out. So, wait, so are you doing this to prepare for Matrix 4? Currently I'm working out to prepare for the Matrix, yes. I mean, Matrix 4, because this is, this is huge. This is, like, that movie was one of my, maybe my top three favorite movies of all time, the Matrix. And I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I is is is is is, I is, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, thi, so, so, so, so, thi, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, thi, thiaaa... thi, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, my, maybe my top three favorite movies of all time, The Matrix. And I mean, like everyone was so shocked when they announced, hey,

we're actually going to making Matrix 4. You know, you've got Keanu Rea using this, but you're going to be in it as well. I mean, that's insane to be part of such a huge franchise. Yeah, it's wild. I mean, I think we're going to to to to to to to to to to to to their to the Times. Personally, I'm excited about the technology, because you see what they did in 1999 with that technology, it still holds up. And so I'm really excited to get in there and to play, but also, you know, to be a fan of it

and to see what we're going to do 20 years later and how, given how much technology has advanced, and go and hopefully take my shirt off in the matrix because, yeah, why not, come on. Some of these people are happy and you know what, I'm not gonna be mad either. Well, thank you so much. Congratulations, for real. Watching it is available now on HBO Go.
