Wyoming Republicans took Liz Cheney, and the hot new trend at the office is not caring about your job. Plus, John Boyega is joining us on the show as our guest, but let's do this people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
Starting point is 00:01:11 All right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. First up, the FDA has ruled that hearing aids can now be sold over the counter without a prescription, making them easier and cheaper for people to get. That's amazing. Yeah. And you know, it's crazy that you ever needed a prescription for a hearing aid. Why? It's not like you can abuse them. It's not like the drug dealers in the street going, yo, yo, you, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, you, yo, you, yo, yo, yo, you, yo, you, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thee thea thea thea thea thea thea thi's thi's thi, thi, thi, Yo, yo, you want some of that extra loud? You, yo, yo. Meanwhile, in travel news, American Airlines has announced
Starting point is 00:01:50 that they will be buying 20 supersonic jets that will be able to get passengers to their destination twice as fast as current airplanes. Yeah. And while that's great, it also means the annoying guy who's sitting next year on the plane is going to have to talk twice as far now. It's going to be like, so yeah, you fly often, you're going on vacation, is the work thing? I just gotta check a bag, you're checking the bag, where are you from? Yeah, first time you're playing, seeing the rock and roll hall of fame, it's gonna be great. I'm gonna call it culinary news. Papa Johns has unveiled a new menu item
Starting point is 00:02:26 called Papa Bowls, which are bowls full of pizza topings without the crust. And I just want to say, congratulations, America, you did it. You finally found the opposite of a salad. Well done. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:02:43 But let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with the 2022 midterms. Last night, the primary that everyone was watching was in Wyoming. The state with a population almost as big as a New York subway car. Now, the reason everyone was watching this race is because Liz Cheney was running for re-election. And of course, Liz Cheney has been the most prominent anti-Trump Republican in Congress. She voted to impeach him. She's led the committee investigating him. Basically, she just will not stop talking about that one time he try to overthrow the American
Starting point is 00:03:20 democracy. That was like a million years ago, lady, move on. So anyway, last night's primary was the chance for Wyoming Republicans to declare whether they stood with Liz Cheney or with Donald Trump. And they answered bigly. Overnight out of Wyoming, a clear message from that state about the direction of the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who was re-elected easily less than two years ago, lost badly last night in her primary fight against her Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman. Cheney's landslide loss was no surprise. She knew she'd pay a price for voting to impeach Donald Trump and then serving as the vice chair of the January 6th Committee. Overnight, the former president writing, Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself. Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Okay, okay. First of all, there's no way that Trump wrote that. Disappear into the depths of political oblivion? Really? This is the same guy who said, I don't like saying yesterday. It's a hard word for me. Yes, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? th, really? th, really? th, really? th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the thi, th yesterday, it's a hard word for me, yes, yesterday, really? Really? That's not him.
Starting point is 00:04:31 You know, if I was to bet, he probably has some guy who just fancies up his words for him. You know, he's like, I want to say something like Liz Cheney go bye-bye now. And he's like, okay, how about disappear into the deaths of political oblivion? He's like, that one is goodly, maybe the best is, I like it. And look, say what you want, say what you want about Liz Cheney. But you have to respect how she stood up against Trump, even when she knew she was going to get blown out of her seat. And yes, it is saying something about the state of the GOP that the brave stance was don't hang the vice president,
Starting point is 00:05:11 but still she stood by it. And this Cheney isn't the only Republican who fell on her sword. Remember, there were only 10 Republicans in the house who voted to impeach Donald Trump. Out of those 10, four lost their primaries to a Trump challenger, and four retired so that they wouldn't lose to a Trump challenger. Because right now, any Republican who opposes Trump, he'll flush the asses away like one of those top-secret documents. He doesn't play games. But the Liz Cheney story isn't over yet,
Starting point is 00:05:38 because she's vowed that she will still do anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop anything from becoming president again, even possibly running against him in the Republican primary. Yeah. And look, I mean, we must admit, it probably is a long shot. But don't forget, she is a chain. If there's one thing they're committed to, it's regime change. And to be honest, if she wants to stop Trump, she doesn't have to beat him in a presidential race, you know? Just put a bunch of Reese's pieces in a line of a cliff. You know, he'd be like, and this one, and this one, and this one? And this, ah! But let's move on from Donald Trump to another plague America can't get rid of.
Starting point is 00:06:20 The coronavirus pandemic. Last week, the CDC announced that quote quote, COVID-19 is here to stay. Yes, which sounds less like a public health announcement. And more like something your mom says about your new stepdad. I love Jerry, so whether you like it or not, he's the new man of this house, okay? Jerry, don't eat that.
Starting point is 00:06:42 That's cat food, honey, come on. Now, because of this, and because fewer people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people 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 c. the the c. the the thi the the thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi thi to thi to to to to the thi thi that that's cat food honey. Come on Now because of this and because fewer people are dying or being hospitalized From the disease the the US is dropping some of the big restrictions that we've all gotten used to over the last two years, right? So no more Quarantine if you've been exposed to the virus no more testing at schools No more six feet apart social distancing and we can go back to washing our hands just after number two's??????????? the the the the toes. toee toe toe toe the toe the toe? the toe? the the toe? the toe? the the toe? th. th. thoes. thoes. toe? their people their toeau. toeau. toeau people people people people people people people people people. toe. toe. th. their people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people their people their people their people their people their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toeau. So? toea. So. So. So. So. So. So. So, toea. So. So, toea. So. So, the. So, the. schools, no more six feet apart social distancing, and we can go back to washing our hands just after number twos. Yeah. So basically the new CDC guidance is just looking at what everyone was already doing doing, and just going like, yeah, yeah, just do that.
Starting point is 00:07:15 We don't care any more. But if the US has decided to live with COVID, the situation is very different in China. Because they're still doing lockdowns at the drop of the hats and it is not always going over very well. Chaos and panic at an IKEA in Shanghai, China. This is video from an IKEA store on Saturday. After it was announced, the store was going into lockdown. A customer had tested positive, so workers tried to put the entire building on quarantine. Customers rushed for the exit to try and leave before the doors closed.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Those who could not get out were taken to a quarantine hotel for several days. China has the strictest COVID rules in the world. They've locked down entire cities over just a few positive cases. God damn, did you see that? Look like a reverse Black Friday. And I don't blame those people. No one should should to tho one should should should should should should should should should should to have thia thia tho one should should thine tho one should tho one should tho one tho one tho o tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho their thus thi tho tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their tho tho tho tho tho. tho. too thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. tooananananan thauu. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. t don't blame those people. No one should have to spend one minute longer than necessary in an IKEA, okay? Can you imagine finally finding the exit just as the doors close?
Starting point is 00:08:15 You're like, no! I just wanted to buy the Schmiergelod. And that really shows you the different approaches countries can take to the pandemic because China has shown that you shows you the different approaches countries can take to the pandemic, because China has shown that you can basically prevent all COVID deaths. But every now and then, you might get locked into an IKEA for a week with no warning. And then America's looking at that like, okay, how bad is death really? I mean, although honestly, if you have to quarantine for a week,
Starting point is 00:08:45 isn't like here the best place to be? I mean, they've got fully done bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms. Yeah, they say you can't poop in the toilets, but you can. You know? I have. Anyway, let's talk about jobs. They're how we trade time for money, like witches. Almost everyone has to work. But, but, th, their their their there, there, there, there, their there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there's there's there's thiiats, thiats, thiats, thi's thi's 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's thi's thi's thiiiiii's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's thiiii. thi's thi. thi. time for money, like witches. Almost everyone has to work.
Starting point is 00:09:07 But let's be honest, there's working and then there's working, right? As more and more people are discovering. We begin with young workers refusing to go the extra mile. They're embracing a trend. They're calling quiet quitting. They stay on the job, they continue to get paid, but they're only willing to do the bare minimum. So you look at these videos on Tick-Tock and YouTube with people who are celebrating their lack of enthusiasm for their job.
Starting point is 00:09:34 They're just going to mail it in. They're just going to do exactly what they're supposed to do and not go above and the descriptions of the job. Some of the video. Some of these videos are people who are like literally turning off the phone at 5 p.m. The work phone at 5 p.m. not answering email after 5 p.m. Not doing anything above and beyond the 9 to 5 of the job and saying that's good because I don't need to work for the man, you know, and not have any kind of a balance in my own life. Yeah, that's right. People are quiet quitting. They're just going they're just th. T th. T th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. Not thi. Not thi. Not thi. Not thi. Not thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.'re just going to their jobs and then just doing the job from from 9 to 5 and then and then hold up that's just working that's work. You realize that's work. You don't have to do the more it's work. People in this country are so obsessed with work. Guys your job is just the place you go to avoid seeing your family all right. It doesn't need to be the most important part of your existence.
Starting point is 00:10:25 If your job is from 9 to 5, that means that the work messages should stop at 5 too. Yeah, that's right. Any message you get off to 5 is basically a booty call. If your boss texts you at like 745 to see if you filed an expense, it should start with, hey, you up? Uh, bottom line, you need to establish your work-life balance. So remember, if you hate your job, make sure you also hate your life. Right? No, that doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:10:52 But if you're thinking of quiet quitting, please keep in mind that clocking out for the day at five on the dot might be okay for office work, but it's not something you can do for every job. All right buddy all right don't do anything drastic okay we're gonna work this out we're gonna work this out together you and me just as long as you let the hostage and oh shit hold on it's at Spanish all all right

We don't get the traffic, man. Traffic not going to to be, traffic. It's always there. I want to ask you about this IKEA situation though. The COVID lockdown?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, the people getting locked up under the store. What store would you like to be locked in for two weeks? Like, what would be your COVID lockdown store of choice?

That's why I'm doing my lockdown. If I want to get trapped in the spot, I want to get trapped in a Mercedes. But they got what, they's, they're, they're, they're, they're, the pepper, they're, they're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th. I'm th.

And plus, we don't care. We just want to get there. We don't care what I can say what you want about Greyhound. But they understand that nobody cares. Greyhound ain't bought a new bus ever. The Greyhound you ride in right now, that's the same greyhound that's that's that's that's that's that's thoom that's thoom thoom thoom that's thoom thoomtea thoomtea'er that's thoomtea'er that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's tho thoing that's that's that's that's thobeyed you're that's thoombought you're thoing, thoing, thoing, tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's that's that's thathea'er thathea'er that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that to to that that tooooooooooooooooo'n't that that that that that's the same greyhound that Harriet Tubman was taking the slaves up north on. It's the same bus. Oh man, oh Roy you're ridiculous. All right let's jump into the traffic man.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Tahh. I don't do overtime I do the bare minimum. I'll see. Oh, that time good. That side, oh, well there's one. All right, what would you, everybody. I see what you did there. I see what you did there. All right, don't go away, because when we come back, we're going to be talking about overdraft fees and how you can dodge them. Don't go away. I see what to give them. You know what you say? You know, we all deal with things in life that are just annoying. Like,
Starting point is 00:15:30 welcome back to the daily show. You know, we all deal with things in life that are just annoying, like brain freezes or looking for parking or having to trim your nails all the time. Yeah, because apparently it's cool when Wolverine grows them out, but when I do it is gross. I mean, I don't understand how that's fair. But nothing is worse than when little annoyances also cost you money, which means few things in life are more annoying than overdraft fees. And we've all dealt with this shit before. You accidentally spend more than you have in your bank account, so now the bank is charging
Starting point is 00:16:08 you even more money that you don't have. Even if you go over by like a couple of dollars, your bank might hit you with a $35 fee, which makes no sense. Bitch, if I had the $35, have the money. They should be like, oh, you gotta lick the ATM screen or something like that. But not money. And this problem has gotten so out of hand that Democrats and Congress are now working on a bill to rein in overdraft fees, which is good because people are just about at their breaking point.
Starting point is 00:16:37 This is just wild. A woman left over a bank counter while arguing with the teller. She didn't want to pay overdraft fees, so she went over the counter. It all happened here inside this Chase Bank in Beaufort. In the video, a woman is heard shouting at a bank teller. Then the woman climbs over the counter and demands her money. The bank teller backs up, and that's when the woman steals $750 from a cash box. Okay. On the one hand, yes, a bit of an overreaction.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But on the other hand, you're also kind of rooting for her, right? Yeah? I mean, that's how much we all hate overdraft fees. Like watching this as a bystander must have been so confusing. It's just like, hello, I'd like to report a robbery. Yeah, who's being robbed? Well?? Well? Well? Well? Well? Well? Well? Well? Well? Well? to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. tho? th. thoes. thoes? thoes. tho' tho? tho' tho' th. th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th. On th.

Like watching this as a bystander must have been so confusing. It's just like, hello, I'd like to report a robbery. Yeah, who's being robbed? Well, to be honest, both of them, actually, it's balanced, never mind.
Starting point is 00:17:34 And I know what you're thinking right now. Look, I hate overdraft fees, too, but I'm not pole vaulting over $35, well, once you know more about how these fees work, you just might. So let's find out where these fees came from and how they screw you over in another edition of If you don't know, now you know. So let's start at the beginning. So let's start at the beginning. In the 1990s, a bunch of consultants pitched banks on overdraft fees. A cool new way to squeeze money out of their beloved customers.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And as evil as it is, you've got to hand it to them. It's definitely creative. Yeah, in fact, I bet the executive who came up with this idea blew everyone's minds. Which is like, you know how we usually take money from people who don't have money? Well what if we also took money from people who don't have money? My God! You've done it, Jenkins, cocaine for everyone! Yeah! But when they came up with this idea, they didn't call them overdraft fees, no. The phrase they used for it was overdraft privilege programs. Yeah, because you see, customers would now have the privilege of paying extra for being broke. And you've got to admit, that's hell of spin right there, right?
Starting point is 00:18:46 They should do that with everything in life. They should hire these same people. Yeah, just to give you excuses like, nah, she didn't dump my ass, she enrolled me in a masturbating a loan privilege program. Everything's great. I'm doing great. I'm doing real good. So you see, what happens is basically, banks banks banks banks banks banks banks banks banks banks banks banks is basically banks frame it, like they're doing you a favor by allowing you to take out extra money.
Starting point is 00:19:07 In fact, just listen to what one woman says, she was told by her bank after she got hit with these overdraft fees again and again without realizing it. We was $1,400 overdrawn. Funds obviously were not there. They had never been there over a period of time. Why did you continue to accept the charges? Their response was you have been such a good customer for all these years. We did not want to embarrass you at the check-at counter. Wow, you got to be kidding me. The bank kept charging overdraft
Starting point is 00:19:41 fees because they didn't want to embarrass this lady. Really? They didn't want to cause any embarrassment. Everyone knows people value money over embarrassment. That's the only reason that reality shows exist. Are you kidding me? Also, you know that explanation is bullshit because it's impossible to get embarrassed in front of a checkout counterworker, okay? They've already seen it all. Yeah, they've seen every single one of us buying 15 bags of Cheetos. And we say it's for a Super Bowl party, but they know it's July.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So the banks say, this is simply a service, they're extending to their customers. But the truth is, they spend a lot of effort manipulating you into paying those fees. Like, for instance, did you guys even know that they're totally optional? Do you know that? Yeah, totally optional. Ever since a 2010 ruling by the Federal Reserve, customers have to opt in to overdraft fees. And now you're probably thinking, wait, I never did that, but you probably did. Yeah, you just didn't realize that's what you were doing when the bank gave you that stack of papers to sign. Because nobody 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, tha, tha, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, tot, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. thi. thi. tho, tho, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, t bank gave you that stack of papers to sign because nobody actually reads that shit, right? Most people see the size of the agreements and you're just like, I'll just wait for HBO to turn it into a mini-series. I don't, I'm not going to read that.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And it gets worse because once the banks trick you into signing up for overdraft fees, some of them will literally reorder the events of your life to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make. Some large banks will manipulate the sequence of customer transactions to draw more overdraft fees. This is how it works. Take Joe. Joe has $100 in his checking account. He buys breakfast on his way to work, paying for it with his debit card. Joe next fills up his gas tank.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Later he buys lunch and then an afternoon cup of coffee. Finally, on his way home, he stops at the supermarket to buy groceries. The last purchase leaves Joe's account overdrawn by $15. But rather than charge him one overdraft fee, his bank rearranges his purchases from highest to lowest and charges him three overdraft fees. By clearing the highest purchases first, banks are able to get to the overdraft quicker, thereby maximizing profits. God damn that is evil. It's bad enough that these billion dollar corporations are charging poor people overdraft
Starting point is 00:21:52 fees, but to make it worse, they're manipulating the numbers so they can charge even more. Yeah, the third purchase came before the first purchase. That's not how you count, right? Either these banks are robbing people, or they learned numbers from Star Wars. It goes, four, five, six, one, two, three, seven. That's just math. That's the math. And this is another example of how corporations can commit crimes that none of us can. All right?
Starting point is 00:22:18 Because this is theft. No, it's theft. No individual can get thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, th, th, thi, thi, tho, th. tho, th. th. th. th. th. 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. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoooooooooo. thea. thoooooo. thea. tho. tho. th rearranging the sequence of time. You try this, every single one of you in this room, you try it, you try it at home, yeah. Try stealing something from the store and then when they catch you be like, no, no, no, I know I took it today but I already paid for it next week. Now if you'll excuse me, but like thrause thuse thu. thu. thu, but, thu, thu, thu, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown thrown thrown that, that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you thr- thr- thr- thr- thr- that it at it at it at it at it at it at it at it at it at th. th. th. th. th. th. that that th. that that that, that, that, that, that, thr. Yeah, thr. thr. thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thr-in, thr- plans, there's big money in what the banks are doing. In fact, they collected more than $8 billion in overdraft fees last year, just overdraft. Yeah, one bank made so much money off of overdraft, the the overdraft. Yeah, and that's rubbing it in. That's like if Elvis had a boat called Black People's Music. I mean, I get that's how you got rich, but maybe don't advertise it. Oh, oh. Imagine that on your boat. It's like shit like where's a
Starting point is 00:23:10 Somali pirate when you need one, you know? Just for him to be like, look at me. Look at me, huh? This is a bad name for a boat, huh? Look at me. Now, the good news is some banks seem to be getting the message that customers and Congress are fed up with these fees. Bank of America and TD Bank are settling major lawsuits, while some banks have started ending their overdraft programs voluntarily, which is good. But until Congress passes this law protecting customers from the most egregious overdraft policies, we figured that there was an opening in the market for a bank you can really trust.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Sick of overdraft fees that drag you into debt, wish there was a bank that treated you like an adult? Well, now there is. Nope, you're broke. Introducing Broke Bank. At Broke Bank, we're not going to let you think you have money and then surprise you with an overdraft fee. When you're broke, we'll let you know. $7 for coffee, just get a tap water.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Is it embarrassing? A little. Insulting? Definitely. But we're committed to honesty, like really committed. Come on, we both know you didn't win the lottery. Just walk away. What's in your wallet? Nothing. Are you written a jet scheme, mother-of-fee? You only got $12, and you need that for a shirt. With Broke Bank, you'll never get tricked into opting in for hidden fees.
Starting point is 00:24:33 The only thing you'll get from us is the truth about how poor your broke ass is. You can scream at me all you want, but at least I'm not charging overdraft fees. Broke bank. You deserve.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, what. th. What th. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What.

Starting point is 00:25:48 I'm doing well. Look at you, looking great, man. Thank you, man. I've decided to go Angel Gabriel today, you know? I love it. I love it. I love it, and you're pulling it off. Let's jump straight into it, comedy, I've seen you in action, I've seen you in drama. This film feels like a
Starting point is 00:26:05 slight twist on what we've seen you do before. It's really intense and it's a really powerful story that I think comments on what's going on in America today. Talk me through it, like how did you get into this project and what made you go, yeah you know what, this is the next movie for me. I read an amazing scripted, to the the tham amazing script thamam amazing script thamam amazing script tham amazing script, thi amazing script, th. thi amazing script, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thrific, thrific, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea. thea. thea. thea'''a'a'a'a'a'a' thauui, thaui character of Brian is so complicated. His situation and his circumstance, going to the bank, trying to demand his money back from the Veterans Affairs was something that was just interesting. And it's just a combination of who you're working with,
Starting point is 00:26:33 Nicole Bahiri, Salinas, Michael K. Williams. Wow. You know, this is a story like this is, you know, is that one, it's based in the truth, you know, that's the first thing. And secondly, you can see the humanity and the storytelling. You have this man who goes, I've served this country, I've fought for this country, the story many veterans have in the US. And then they come home and then their and shocking that I hadn't heard about it, you know, in a sense that it happened in 2017 and this is just literally a few years ago and it's something that none of us, it kind of happened under our nose, but to hear the detail about what vets
Starting point is 00:27:12 are going through when they come home, that integration back into public life is kind of complicated. For me as an actor, you know, I'm just play a small part in a jixtu-a puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle puzzle, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I, I'm just, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. th. th. th. that, that, th that th th th th that th th th th th th thin, th th th thin, that that that that that that that that think what you also do really well is you humanize the character. You know, so it's not just a veteran, it's not just a situation. This is about a human being who is in the situation. I mean, you talked, for instance, to the real version of the characters like his ex-wife, and you talked about the human being that you were going to be portraying on the screen? She told us so many gems, and it's specifics as an actor. I want to hear how this man spoke. I want to hear about his interests.
Starting point is 00:27:51 He was very much into movies, nerd stuff that I'm into. His voice, his voice, quite timid voice. His voice, quite timid,. His walk, you know, we have CCTV footage, documentation about the case. And that all just helps to inform, you know, the performance. And that's what I used to go through as Ryan. You did a great job in doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:15 And as you say, like the, you have a legend who we lost. Yeah. You know, this is, I think it'll be the last film that we get to see him in. I think so. He might have one after, I'm not sure, but this is one of the last, at the very least, yeah. The story getting to it was amazing because, if I understand correctly, you basically had to beg. You know, they show me respect when I come in these shows and say, yeah, you requested for him to be in the movie? No, no, it was, you know, I had to beg him. It's such a versatile actor, an actor that doesn't need to come in and shoot my small
Starting point is 00:28:55 little indie movie for $2.50. You know what I mean? So it was, it was me just asking him to collaborate, to come and to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to coa, to to to to to to to th to to to to to to the to to to be, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I. I. I, I. I. I. I. I. I, I. I, I. I. I, I, I. I. I, I. I, I. And, I. And, I, I. And, to th. And, to to th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to too, too, too. And, too, too, too. And, too, too. toe. to to to to to to to collaborate, to come in and do a few weeks work, and he just showed up on set. He was down to do it. And for me, I grew up watching The Wire, I grew up watching Borda the Wire, I grew up watching Borda, Empire. So to see, you know, Michael K Williams walk on set to be motivated and ready to shoot, I was just like, yeah, this is a dream. Did he know what a fan man, Trevor, you know, even when I reach that to you on text man, I let you guys know, man, I'm one of those people that, I have so many people, especially black individuals for me who are inspiring to look up to, so yeah, I'm gonna let you know, so yeah, I'm gonna let you know why moments with him. That's beautiful, man. That really is beautiful. I like that.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I've always said, like, anyone who is Nigerian has the ability to inspire the best in you as a human being, I think that's what you bring out. Absolutely. You've just got that things. I've seen criminals. I've been, you have motivation. Oh man, I'm speaking off by the way, speaking off, yo, like, we're so excited. As soon as I saw you in a movie with Viola Davis, and then Tuso and Beir from South Africa,
Starting point is 00:30:09 I was just like, when is the movie coming out? As soon as I saw me in a movie of Vila Davis? Yes. And so, yeah, that movie comes out, September 6th, yes. Man, it looks badass. Yeah, it looks badass. It looks crazy. I was actually at the AMC at the Grove the other day, and both trailers came up, breaking trailer came up before Brad Pitt's Bullet Train, and also the Woman King.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And the Woman King trailer got a round of applause from the audience. I was tempted to say, I was in that. But I left that there for the audience to just enjoy this story that I think is just going to be so epic for everybody to enjoy. You know what I love for you doing the story as well is, you know, you know, I fell in love with you like most people did with Attack the Block. You know, I was just like, this is one of the most amazing movies. I've heard there's a sequel and I hope it's to the you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:10 like your mother tongue, you know? Yeah, you know, I even wanted to grow a bit of a belly so you know to emphasize that. But it was, it was such a papa role as an African man playing a king a king but also playing a king who who who loves these people who loves his women and Right right right. Right right. And protected by these women. Yeah, that was great. I mean normally we get into movies and you know male lead wanting to be the number one movie start. That's overrated.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I liked the women doing everything. Yes. I said go girl girl go get it it it. I. I. I. I go. I. I go. I that. I that's. I was. that's. that's. that was. that was. that was.

I said, go girl, go get it. Go get it. So that was fun. I can't wait for you guys to see that movie. It's amazing. Before I let you go, I would love to talk about the break that you took. You know, John Boyega, like you launched onto the scene.
Starting point is 00:31:57 You came on everyone was loving you as an actor, as a, as a, I mean, as a guest, as a guest, as a guest, as a guest on shows you used to have this magnetism. And then I distinctly remember you saying, I'm gonna take a moment. How did you maintain the courage to say no, John first and then I'll get back into my career? I just got to a point where I was like, life needs a sense of balance. And sometimes you go towards something and you achieve it. But there's no fulfillment because you've forgotten about the most important, which is the most important thing, which is the self. And in thinking about that, I was just like,
Starting point is 00:32:26 yeah, I need to sort me out first. So that when I get to a certain stage and when bigger opportunities come, that I'm genuinely ready for it and not intimidated by it. And honestly, I twiddled my toes and mythen I relaxed them and got my stuff sorted, got in the gym, got reading, got into a routine and I think a lot of us need to do that, right, just to get back into a healthy... Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah, man. Yeah, man. You know, love, bro. That's why you're gonna be great. to break, that break, but we'll be right back after this. Much love, man.
