The Democrats are doing damage control and Donald Trump has a love-hate relationship with his toilet. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with some education news.

Elementary school. It's that special time in your life when you find out if you're a bully or if you can fit into a locker. But now, the state of New Jersey is worried that schools have stopped teaching the important stuff. Learning cursive may soon be making a return to schools in New Jersey. Yeah, a state lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring elementary school students to learn to read and write in script by the end of the third grade. Many schools stopped mandating cursive in 2019. If past cursive would be required by the next full school year. Okay, I'm sorry, what lawmakers in New Jersey are pushing for schools to start teaching cursive again? While they're at it, why not teach the kids

to drive wagons and churn their own butter for lunch? Just have kids in the cafeteria like, Hark, I am famished from a day's journey hunting the Pokemon. Hath thou a tide pod for my repast? Guys, it's 2019. We don't need cursive anymore, okay? And like, we should be able to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to admit to to to to to to to should be able to admit that it's always looked pretty stupid. Like, try and write a capital G. It just looks like a drunk-ass music note. It's like, what are you?

Hmm. And the arguments for the law honestly don't make any sense, right? Like, one New Jersey lawmaker says, kids need to learn cursive because that's how they wrote the constitution. What does that mean? What does that that that that that that th th th th th th mean th mean th mean th mean the the the the the the the the thii means thi means thi means thoomome thoomease thoomease thoomomease thoome, thoome. thoom-a' thoom-a' thoom-a' thoom-s, thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thea. Like you don't need to learn cursive to read the Constitution. Also, not everyone needs to read the Constitution. They might have a job where it's not important, like accountant or president of the United States. Here's the thing, man, this happens every generation, right?

This always happens. Young people adapt to new technology, and then old people want everyone to learn how they learned. I wouldn't be shocked if in 50 years we'll be complaining about our grandkids. Like, I hate how kids don't text with their thumbs anymore. Phones just scan your text now. In my day from your brain, you couldn't do that. You have to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look their their their to look their their, their, to look their, to to tho down at your phone like a real person and walk into things head first that's how we kept our brains hard. All right but let's move on to the world of arts. People are always searching for new ways to express the human condition and also to find cool ways to take people's money and this next exhibit from Art Basil

Basil in Miami may be the greatest scam of all time. Two inexpensive everyday items are now passing for pricey works of art. A banana duct tape to wall is now selling for $150,000 at a Miami Art Festival. The piece is titled, comedian. Two earlier editions have already sold for $120,000 each. I honestly don't know what to think about this because on the one hand, I guess this banana is a comment on how all art is temporary and eventually everything withers and dies, but on the other hand, it's a fucking banana take to the wall. Because honestly, I don't know about a banana as art.

All I know is I want art with a long shelf life. Can you imagine if you bought Michelangelo's David and the next day it turns all brown and mushy? What's also crazy is that the artist sold three of those bananas for over $100,000 each. You know the person I feel really bad for is the guy at the grocery store selling him those bananas. Yeah, because think about it, the first time the artist comes in, he buys a banana, it's like, yeah, $50,000. The second time he comes in, he sees it on, and he's their $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $50,000.00,000.00,000.00,000.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00, $50, $0.00.00.00.00. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. You's $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $0.00, $0.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.the guy the grocery store sees it on Twitter and he's like, wait, what? Next time the artist comes in, he's like, can I get another banana? He's like, yeah, $20,000. I'm an artist too. I'm also an artist.

All right, but let's move on from bananas to a man who's never eaten fruit in his life. President Trump, while he's embroiled in impeachment, it's a today. that the commander-in-chief will take time out of all of these important issues to deal with stuff like this. We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to see because you could never handle it, and you don't get any water. You turn on the faucet, you don't get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out.

It's dripping out, very quietly dripping out. People are flushing toilets ten times, 15 times as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So EPA is looking at that very strongly at my suggestion. Okay, is it just me? Or does it seem like someone took a dump in the Oval Office that didn't flush? And now they're trying to blame it on America's water systems? Just feels like that. Mike, the EPA clogged the toilet again. And also, can we acknowledge that of all the presidents, Trump has the most unpredictable

schedule of all time? Think about like a day in the life of one of his aides, in the Oval Office, just like, okay, sir, at 9 a.m. we'll be discussing Afghanistan. 10 is impeachment. And then at 12, you'll be discussing clogged toilets? Trump's like, great, cancel everything after toilets. I have a lot of opinions. By the way, did you see what Eric did in the Oval Office? But, okay, but if I'm completely honest, whether you like Trump or not, you have to admit, this is an issue where we can't th. Like, I can say for a fact that America has a lot of low self-esteem

toilets that don't flush with conviction. Yeah, I've experienced this a lot in this country, I won't lie. Like, you go into flush and the toilet's just like, eh? And you're like, no, flush, and it's like, thrying. And thah. And you, thi. And you, thi. And you's like, thi. And you's like, 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. 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. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooo. thi. th I'm trying. Because you have to admit it, we've all had that moment where the flush doesn't work. The worst is when you're at someone else's house and it doesn't work. Yeah, it doesn't flush. It's right, so now you're waiting for the tank to fill up again and then you try again, hoping that they don't notice how long you've been gone. The worst is when you're flushing, you're the worst, you're the worst, you're the worst, the worst, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thus, thus is thus is when, thus is the worst, thus is when, the worst is when, the worst is when, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the worst, the worst, the worst, thi, the worst, the worst, the worst, the worst, is the worst, is the worst, the worst, is thi's the worst, is the worst, is the worst, is the worst, is the worst, when, the worst, the worst, thi's the bowl, like, I ain't going nowhere. I ain't going nowhere. I'm just saying, if Trump can solve that problem, he's getting four more years.

That's all I'm saying. That's a big problem. It's also crazy how Trump had so much more emotion talking about toilets than he does about most tragedies. Like, he was in that. It was just like, the world falling down, so powerful. In fact, it was so intense that we decided to produce it off-Broadway. We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms.

There's so little water comes out of the faucet. People are flushing toilets ten times, fifteen times, as opposed to once. They take a shower and water comes dripping out, it's dripping out, very quietly dripping out. In many states where they have so much water that it comes down, it's called rain. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on. To our top story. There are now just 329 days until the presidential election, 56 days until the

Iowa caucuses and 23 days until Pete Budajjjjjjj can legally drink. So with the Democratic primary race heating up, let's catch up on the latest developments in our ongoing segment, World War D. As we get closer and closer to the primaries, all the Democratic candidates are learning that while the beginning of the race was fun and games, once you get into crunch time, people start digging into your history. And this weekend, everyone was talking about a confrontation involving Joe Biden, the the candidate with the most history. Democratic frontrun involving Joe Biden, the candidate with the most history.

Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden just got into it with a local voter, words were exchanged and then a challenge. I've got two problems with you. One is your damn years old as I am. You're selling access to the president just like he was. You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. And no one has ever said that. And you want you to to to to to check to check to check to check to check to check to check to check to check to check the to their to their to to their their to their the. the. the. thoen. to be thoen. thoeck. the. theckoomeckoomeckoomeckoome. thoomoomoome. thoome. thoome. thoom. thoom. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the the thi. the the the thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. the. toea. toea. toeuuuuu. toe. toe. theuu. the. the. the. damn liar man, that's not true and no one has ever said that and you want to check my shape on, let's do push-ups together here man, let's do let's do whatever you want to do.

Let's take an IQ test, okay? All right. I don't say you were doing anything wrong. You said I set up my son to work in an oil company. that what you said? Let your word straight, Jack. Look, look, here's a deal. Here's a deal. It looks, it looks like you don't have any more backbone than Trump does when you're you're telling us. Oh, damn, that got testy. There's also a weird moment, though, you have to admit. This guy said he was concerned that Biden might be too old to run for president. And then instead of addressing the man's concerns Biden challenged him to push-ups?

You realize Joe Biden this could have ended terribly because what if that old man beat Biden? Now he's the Democratic frontrunner right? Yeah that's how it works. We've all watched Black Panther if you beat the guy in charge you become the guy in charge. That's how it works!that's how it works. We've all watched Black Panther. If you beat the guy in charge, you become the guy in charge. That's how it works. That's how it works. What do you mean, push-ups? The old guy would have ripped off his shirt like, is this your nominee?

Is this your nominee? And then every one of those old white people in the town hall would have been there like, oh-a.this is what shows you what's wrong with American politics right now. A candidate and a voter should never be calling each other fat and old. They should be calling each other's mamas fat and old. Let's keep things civilized people. But while Biden is fighting off corruption allegations and challenging voters to meet him out in the parking lot, his great, great, great grandson, Pete Budajjjjj is dealing with a controversy about a lack of transparency.

You see, a lot of people were concerned that Budajjjjah wasn't allowing the press to attend his fundraising events. But when he had a tart response on Friday to reporters who asked when he'll make that decision. As the candidate, can you just direct your campaign to open those? What's it? As the candidate, can you just direct your campaign to open those considerations? Yes. What have you done so you? I have really a lot of considerations and I'm thinking about it. Asked question. Can you give us an example of those considerations?

No. Thank you. Damn! Looks like someone started growing. Chast hair. Oh! You know, I know we always joke about Buddha's looking like he's 15, but in that press conference, he was acting like a teenager too, right? It was just like that moment.

Did you do your homework? Yes. Do you have it? Yeah. Can I see it? No. Now, Budajjjjjjah might have been all gangster at the podium, but the backlash that they will now be opening up his fundraisers to the press. And one thing Budajjjjj did that was really slick was that he took his transparency issues and tried to turn them around on one of his opponents.

Budgege's campaign has also been calling on Elizabeth Warren to release her tax returns from before 2008 during her time as a corporate lawyer. tho-million dollars, I knew tho-a two million dollars from private legal work since 1986. Two million dollars? I knew it! Elizabeth Warren's out here acting all foxy, but it turns out this whole time she had a job! Because that's what's funny about this story. No, if you read it, the headlines make it sound like Elizabeth Warren was boiling out of control, but in reality, she earned $2 million over 30 years.

Yeah, which averages out to a modest $60,000 a year. That is the complete opposite of bawling. At $60,000 a year, you want popping champagne in the club. You're carefully removing the cork, pouring it into a glass, and then saving the rest for the time you come back to the club. So that's a quick update of what's happening in the Democratic race. And you know what's funny about this whole thing for me? The Democrats are trying so hard to defend even the smallest skeletons in their closets.

Meanwhile, Trump's rolling through the streets with a squad of skeletons like, These aren't skeletons, these are just skinny people. And if you don't believe me, you can do push-ups. We'll be right back. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You might get a lot of resumes, but not enough candidates with the right skills or experience.

Breaking news in the sports world this morning Russia received a four tod 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 th the the the the tho tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- the tho- tho- tho- th. th. th. 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. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin the the the the the to to to to-year to-year to-year to-boy tean tean today today today today to today the the the the tho yep, anymore. Breaking news in the sports world. This morning, Russia received a four-year ban for doping from the World Anti-Doping Agency. This means there will likely be no Russian team at the 2020 Summer Olympics or the 2022 winter games.

Now, Russians will still be able to compete at global competitions, but only under a neutral flag and with no national anthem. Oh shit! Russia got banned from the Olympics for doping too many times. Now, it is important that we say Costa, their athletes can still compete as individuals, but they can't represent Russia. They can just represent themselves. Yeah, it's like, hi, I'm Vlad.

I'm here to throw javelin. OK, where you're from? Where you from? You know, I'm from around. Do you have any clean urine I can buy? Look, I gotta say, man, I think banning Russia from the Olympics is a massive mistake. Russia lives for athletic competition. Now we just th just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just th. thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. 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 angry Russians with nothing to do. The Olympics are like the after-school

program that's been keeping them off the streets. Somebody gonna be meddling and everything. Our elections, our power grid, our relationships, which reminds me, baby, if any nudes pop up in my phone, it was the Russians. Yeah. Me too, baby, okay. Hey, let's move on to the NBA where LeBron and Anthony Davis have the Lakers in the top of the NBA standings. They're 21 and 3. That's only one loss for every eyebrow they have combined. Yes.

And last night, AD picked up 50 points, but it's what happened court side that's got people talking. As you wake up this morning, maybe you're checking Twitter, you're wondering why Lizzo and JumboTron are all trending? See, last night, Lakers game had a little bit of everything, including Lizzo pulling up her dress to show off her song when the Staples Center showed her on the Jumbotron while the Laker girls danced to a routine to her song. This is living her best life. God damn! That outfit was a bold choice. A very bold choice because I would not want to put my bare ass on stadium seats, especially, court-side seats.

Their cushion, cushions absorb everything. You can feel the bacteria. Liszo's gonna take a DNA test and it's gonna turn out she's 100% Jack Nicholson fights. Speaking of the Knicks, you know how they've been losing all season? Well, they're finally doing something about it, Roy. Well, the Knicks have lost eight in a row. They're off to one of the worst starts in franchise history. Today they decided to part ways with head coach David Fisdale. Fisdale actually held practice with the team today. This is him at Nick's practice facility shaking hands with management.

And just an hour later, he was fired. Okay, this is unfair. You can't blame the coach when he never gave him the right players to win. You can only make dinner with what you have in the fridge, right? Which is why tonight I I'll be eating egg, waffles, saracha, and double A batteries. Yeah. Now, I don't really feel bad for this guy. He's getting $17 million. The only thing better than getting $17 million for coaching the Knicks

is to get $17 million for not coaching the Knicks. Hell, I'll do it for $15, but I got to to to to to to to their their $1 $1, $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii do it for 15 but I gotta wear a thong. That's fair. You know what, you know what they should do. For the rest of the season, the Knicks should give every fan of the game a ticket and raffle off a chance to be coached for a day. But Roy, that's the plot of a Whoopi Goldberg movie called Eddie. She wins the contested ccce thine thine thine thine thine thine thine thine thine thine thine th thine th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thoom thoom thoom thoom thoom they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they tho tho tho tho tho to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoooooooooo, fine, forget it. The point is, the Knicks are so embarrassing, they need to go into hiding. They gotta go somewhere where no one will find them,

like, like a house full of nuns. That's, that's also the plot of a Whoopi Goldberg movie called Sister Act. Whatever, man, the point of playing basketball, the Nick should just sit around all day talking about the news. That's the view, Roy. Whoopi Goldberg is also on that. Damn it, man, I can't get whooppy out of my head. I need something else to think about. I got something for it. You want to see a picture of me wearing a thong? I'd rather die. I'd never die.

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. My guest tonight was the first woman of color to have a leading role in a Star Wars movie. Here's a preview of the highly anticipated Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker.

Please welcome, Kelly Marie Trane. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. And congratulations on a whirlwind ride. This movie is so highly anticipated and yet at the movie beforehand, and then I was like, you know, Disney, and they're like, no. Disney, they're true ninjas. They're just like, we're not gonna tell you anything, but you're always gonna wonder. Are they strict like that with you as well?

Because I've heard like some actors, they won't even give you like the parts the parts the parts the parts the parts the parts thing, but then... I know everything. But truly, I mean, when you're shooting these scenes, it's so piecey if that makes sense and it sort of changes as you're going. So sometimes you don't really know how it's going to end up. So do you think, like, have they shot multiple, or is there like a possibility, that the movie is? So if you go watch, the movie, the movie, you'd be like, I think it, and then you don't know? I think that's possible. I did see it last week. Oh, you've seen it?

Yeah, I have to see it. Yeah. Yeah. I hated you and now I'm over it. It is pretty epic how your life turned. I mean, you know, it's one thing to get into acting and start out, you know, going to to to sketch to sketch to sketch, to sketch, to, to, to, to, 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, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, 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, thi.a, th.a, th.a.a.a.a.a.a. to, I'm th.a. to, I'm to, I'm, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to get into acting and start out, you know, going to sketch classes and saying I'm going to become an actor and then getting into movies and then graduating. But you literally jumped into Star Wars, which has been a complete, just like flip for your entire life. How have you handled that?

Lots of therapy, Drever. You being serious though. Oh, I'm completely serious. Everyone's laughing, but it's truly true. I had this really weird, immediate life change where I was truly doing improv shows, not even at UCB or I or I can see all these great places. I was doing improv shows like underground indie scene improv. And I was doing small parts on, like TV shows where it had a line here, a line there.

And it was, and then it completely changed. So it's sort of been a really big mental overhaul in a way. It's really interesting because you experienced as well the best and worst of social media at the same time. Because you know, when you, when you got the role and when the first movie that you were in, there was this backlash where people were like, oh, what is she doing in the movie? Why do you have this Asian woman? This makes no sense.

But then you had this huge wave of support where people came to support you. But you made, but you made. But you made, but you to the best choice I ever made, truly. How? Yeah. How do you, how do you know that you're valid in life? Like, how do you? I don't want to make everyone mad because I know everyone loves you, but I'm like, dude, you should try it.

You should try it for a little bit. But I'm being serious though, because the whole world is on social media. And you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th you th you th you th you th I th I thi I thi I thi, I thi, I thi, I tho tho tho tho tho tho that, that, that, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that thi. that that that that thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tho. And then you just did this thing where you're like, no, I'm gone. And you're happy about it. It's not even like, you're like, oh, I'm missing. You're just gone. I'm truly, yeah, you know what's weird is I think, again, I came from this place where I was working this job and struggling and then sort of had the idea that I needed to be validated or either just to be like I'm wearing the stress I want everyone to know I'm wearing this dress like just weird things that I'm like Kelly what are you thinking like

that's not a normal person thought right and so I think I sort of thought to myself this is unhealthy for me I need to get out of here and it's been the best thing I've ever done that is so so so so so so so so so so so so amazing that is so so amazing that is so so amazing that is so amazing that is so amazing that is so so amazing that is so amazing that is so amazing that is so amazing that is so amazing that is so amazing so amazing so amazing that is so amazing so amazing so amazing so amazing so amazing that is so space where, you know, your role takes so much significance, not just because of the character you're playing in the series and because of how you're like part of this end of this saga of the series, but also because this was the first time we had seen an Asian American actress like playing a powerful role like this in a Star Wars franchise. Does that not come with a ton of stress? Oh, it absolutely does.

Yeah, it absolutely comes with this sort of overwhelming pressure, like the desire to represent well. But also on the other hand, I'm like, guys, what's the big deal? Asian women speak and have feelings and can have a full existence in life. It's not that crazy. Right. Yeah. And so when you when you're on this movie and you're creating it, I mean like, is there ever a moment where you think to yourself it's all downhill from here? No, I'll tell you, because it's Star Wars. Yes. It's Star Wars. Like you can get any other movie after us and be like, yeah, but I did Star Wars. Like how are you? No, because I'm not good. I wouldn't be humble enough to be, if I started with Star Wars, everywhere I go, people will be like, hey, would you like,

would you like to be in this movie? I'd be like, is it about the Jedi? Like, is that like a weird trip for you to be on as well? I think it is kind of a weird thing that is such a cultural touchstone to so many generations of people. But at the same time I feel like it's also because it feels like it was a big franchise, I'm like, oh now I just want to do something totally different and weird. Yeah, you can just go into it. You can just go into any role you can do whatever you want.

I would be stuck in Star Wars. I would be like, I would be stuck in Star Wars. 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 would th, I would th, I would th, I would th, because, because, because, because, because, I would th, 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, because, because, because, because, I th, because, I th, because, I th, because, I would be stuck, I would be stuck, I would th, I, I, I, I would th, I, I would th, I, I, I would th, I would th, I would th, I would th, I would th, like, I would th, like, like, I would, th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, because, thi, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, I feel, like bring I feel like I would bring Star Wars to movies that didn't need Star Wars in it It would be like a dramatic scene like the notebook and then I would be in then and be like he's in the bed You're woe Whom wont. I think I think you're better at acting than I am I I'm excited to see the movie. Thank you, much for being on the show. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Congratulations, thank you very much.
