You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, it's getting wetter all the time. We take in the must. And Sterling K. Brown. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Now. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out in person.

Good to see you, everybody. We've got a great show for you tonight. Take a seat, let's get into it. So many things to talk about. The planet is flooding and drying up. A mystery guest will tell us why Elon Musk was sent here from the thua, Is Us here to talk about his brand new movie Sterling Kate Brown is joining us on the show everybody. So let's do this. Let's jump straight into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. First up, Scotland has just become the first country in the world to make tampons and pads free to anyone who needs them.

Yeah, that's amazing. Period products will now be given away in pharmacies and other public buildings, not to mention there are sheep everywhere in Scotland, and those are pretty much just walking tampons, so this is working out. Meanwhile, America will continue its policy, which is that women are welcome to steal all the extra napkins at Starbucks that they need. Moving on to some other international news, Australia has learned that its former prime minister had secretly appointed himself to five other

government positions without telling anyone. This is such a strange story. Yeah because this is one of those scandals that's like, is this a scandal? No, because I'm outraged but I'm also kind of impressed. Apologist chose to do extra work and not tell anyone. How dare you? And also, I'm voting for you again. But for real, though, that's not how government works, right? You can't just give yourself a job.

You have to earn it by having your dad give you the job. Come on. There's politics here. In sports news, the NBA has announced that for the first time ever they will not be playing any games on election day and instead will encourage their fans to go and vote. Yeah, I think that's really good. I will say though not not to sound cynical but if the Timberwolves game is what was keeping you from voting, maybe... Yeah.

I think since there's no games on that night, the ESPN commentators, they should cover voting, like they cover the NBA. You don't just make it super interesting. He's just be like, Jeremy Wilkins coming up to the voting booth now. It's his first season voting voting, he's really... Oh no, he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's the first, he's the first, he's the first, he's the first, he's the first. It's the first. It's the first. the first their's their's thi's first. their's their's thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. their th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi. thi's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. called it outside the bubble, that's not gonna scan. The refs are not gonna like it at all. Let's see the replay on that one, John. So this is big, NBA, and they've told all the teams, they've said, hey, all the teams in the NBA,

you will not be playing basketball on election day. And the Knicks were like, no problem some weird celebrity news. Snoop Dog is launching a breakfast cereal for kids called Snoop Loops. Yeah. And you know the cereal is gonna be delicious. Yeah, because no one knows good cereal like someone who's permanently high. No one. Also, it's about time we got a chill cereal mascot, you know, I like this. Every cereal mascot is high energy. They know, like coaked out,

ah! Now we have one who does not give a damn weather or not we eat his cereal. You know, just like, try it today or don't. I get paid either way, bitch. By the way, do you ever think about how Snoop has had one of the most amazing careers of all time? Like this is fantastic, but you have to admit he's really screwed over all the people who started loving him for his rap.

You know, I'm glad he's had such a broad career. But you realize there are now parents who are telling their kids, are like, the gangster rapper Stoopper St And their kids are like, the cereal guy? Martha Stewart's friend, I thought you were cool, dad. Anyway, let's move on to the big story of the day. And it's about climate change. The reason why hot in here is now considered a scientific study. Yes, all over the world, governments are steadily taking action to reduce their carbon emissions. In fact, just today, President Biden signed the biggest climate change law in American

history. Yeah, it does everything. It subsidizes electric cars, it funds, it funds, it funds, and it changes the name of summer to extra spring. Hopefully, Mother Nature falls for that one. And the reason leaders worldwide have taken these steps is because every day we're seeing what the world could look like if climate change gets out of hand. I mean just look at what's happening in Vegas.

You know Las Vegas, yeah, the city, surrounded by deserts that are filled with buried mobsters, that place. Well, some of those bodies, oh, they're about to come floating back to life. Las Vegas is getting pounded with historic flooding in the wettest monsoon season they've seen in a decade. It's hard to tell this is the famous Las Vegas strip, but that's Caesar's Palace right there, and that is the mirage. It's raining inside, Planet Hollywood,

pouring through the casino light fixtures, also right underneath the high roller ferris wheel. The Las Vegas strip has been swept by flash flooding. This rain coming down so fast, so heavy. This is video from Las Vegas and a parking garage. It's a downpour right onto the gambling tables. They can see that car struggling to get through the water on a street. Yes, that is a man floating down the Vegas strip because of the flash flood waters. That guy's a legend.

He's just like, yeah! But you see that? Las Vegas, of all places, is getting flooded. And you know who I blame for this? All the bachelor party is going to those strip clubs being like, make it rain! Look at what you did! I hope you're happy it rained. It rained too much. And if there's one thing we can all agree on people,

it's that we don't want casinos to flood. All right? Because can you imagine how hard it's going to be to evacuate those gamblers? Ah! The water level is rising, guys! We're going to be drowned any minute! Which is just enough time for a couple more rolls! Come on, baby, come on! Daddy could use some arm floties, come on! So yes, Las Vegas has been wetter than a butt crack at Soul Cycle, but it's not just Vegas. We've seen historic floods recently in St. Louis,

in Yellowstone, in Kentucky, and this is the thing to remember about climate change. It's not just gonna make everything a little bit hotter, all weather more extreme. The hot will get hotter, the wet will get wetter, the the wetter, the wet will swap places with the dry, yeah, and then you're going to think that you're talking to hot but then the hot will pull of its mask and it'll be like, I'm cold and you'll be like, ah, but we slept together! It's basically

science. And you're wondering, you're like, ah, it's a bit of flooding, is it that bad? Well, over in California, things could get even worse than you think. even worse than you think. Now to the new warning on climate change. Experts say it's only a matter of time before a mega flood hits California, displacing millions of people. A new study shows that climate change is increasing the likelihood of a cataclysmic flood

hitting in the next 50 years. The flood could turn California's lowlands into an inland sea, putting parts of cities such as Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles underwater. It happened in Sacramento in 1861. This is incredible. I really didn't know much about this. Only 500,000 people lived in the Central Valley. Today it's 37 million. 30 feet of water in all of Central Valley for weeks. It rained for 43 days, the equivalent of a trillion dollars in today's damage. They say the next one would probably be like a Katrina times five. Oh my God, Katrina times five.

That's like 356. You carry the K, then the point is it's bad. And we can't lose Los Angeles. That's where America keeps all of its hot people, you know? Also no offense, but if I'm caught in a mega flood, the lost place and lost people I want to be around is a bunch of LA actors. Can you imagine them? It's going to be like, ah, the flood is wiping away!

Okay, I'm going gonna try it again, but a little more introspective. The flood is wiping away Los Angeles, and I never knew my father. Blah blah. Blah. Now, if you're thinking, who cares if America's underwater? I'll just escape to Europe. Well, be my guest.

Because you're going to miss the wet when you get there. In the midst of a historic drought, Europe's rivers are running dry. In Germany, the Rhine has dropped so low, some cargo ships can no longer use it, with devastating effects for Germany's economy. In France, some parts of the Loire can now be crossed on foot. And in the Czech Republic, low water levels have revealed so-called hunger stones, rocks carved centuries ago to give future generations a warning of impending famine.

One such stone carried a chilling message from the early 1600s. If you can see me, weep. Yeah, yeah, you hear that? Right now, Europe's drought is so bad that you can walk across some rivers, which isn't just bad for the economy and the environment. It also puts people like Moses out of a job. Yeah, just be like, and now I will part the waters that you may cry. Yeah, whatever, man, climate change did this far as, ah, get out of the way. I also don't know about you, but that hunger's don't tha you see me weep? That's dramatic. I

didn't even know they had emo in the 1600s. At the same time though you've got a wonder about the person who decided to make these stones. No because think about the whole population was starving right. You've got one guy's like I'll venture out to find more food and other guys like I will ration our current stores and and there've got one guy's like, I'll venture out to find more food. Another guy's like, I will ration our current stores. And there's one dude who's like, give me a hammer and a chisel. I'm gonna write a warning to people 500 years from now. Yeah, this is gonna be a good one.

When they see, when the water goes down, they're gonna freak out. Hold on, hold on. And by the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, 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. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. toe. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thea. thea. the. the.those hunger stones are that poetic. Yeah. That one's really like cryptic. It has a vibe. Some of those hunger stonnesons, they just tell you direct. Oh shit, you guys are screwed! You see my face, that means you're gonna die. Okay, your offense in order, everybody. You gonna die, and you're gonna die. Oh, you already look dead, brother, you already die.

By the way, if somebody sees Stonehands, you tell him he ain't shit. That dude owes me 20 bucks, bullshit, their stone. Ha ha ha, y'all dad. All right, that's it for the headlines. Before we go to break, it's time to check in on the weather forecast with our very own. Desi Lydick everybody. There's these scary, scary times. So what's the weather looking like? Ooh Trevor, I do not have time to do the weather today. My plate is full. I got like a million other things to do. I'm sorry what wait, why are you so busy? Well look I really admired

what that Australian Prime Minister did so I decided to give myself several other jobs here at the show. Okay, but Desi, you don't even do the one job I ask you to do, which is the weather. Oh, thanks. No, but I can assure you that all of these other jobs are extremely important, like I'm the new unlicensed therapist, I'm the screen time monitor, I'm the dry cleaner. By the way, how's that suit feeling? I made it extra dry. Is that what that smell is?

Wait, are you on your mark? What? Here, look at me. Okay, look in camera. All right. The shot is all wrong. As the camera supervisor, I have a very high standard. So I'm going to have to fix this. Here, I got this.

I got it. What are you doing? All right. That's good. There you're doing? There you're doing? There's, what are you doing? OK.

Now, this is good. Trevor, can you just pop up into the shot? No, I'm not, that's my way I'm down. Yeah, no, just pop up into frame. No, I can't, what do you mean, what do you mean?

Yeah, okay, no, don't go lower. I can't go lower than this. A little further. Just, no, Desi, come on. Trevor, just, can you just find the frame?

I can't do your job too. No, you don't, you don't have to find my job. Des-Dee, just, can you leave it? And then now... That's good. That's the shot. There it is. That's good. Desi, enough! Yeah. But Trevor, no, come on, you didn't even let me tell you about my favorite job. What you, okay, what's it? I got a whole other job that I didn't even get to tell you about.

What is that? Well, I was also inspired by Scotland, I appointed myself as the show's czar of menstrual hygiene. What does that even mean? It means three tampons for everyone! Everyone in the audience gets free tampons! Oh yeah! Free tampons! You just hit people in the face with tampons.

There it is. Don't worry, guys, these are gently used. They're gently used, like new, almost like new. What? Did you say gently used? Yeah, don't worry about it. You can't just launch tampo- You know what, Desi, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, also I'm Trevor Noah now, so can you just get out of the phone? No, no, no, Daisy Lattick everybody.

Don't, don't encourage her. No, don't encourage her. Don't encourage her. All right, don't go away. When we come back, we're gonna figure out. We're gonna figure out. We're gonna figure out. We're gonna figure out how Elon Musk became became the way that's not me.

You're not me. You're not me. You're not me? You're not me? You're not me? That's a job. That's a job. You really got it.

Welcome back to the Danish show. Let's talk about Elon Musk. You know, it feels like every day the richest man in the world is in the news for something. He's buying Twitter, he's not buying Twitter, he's colonizing Mars, he's reinventing travel and he's on a strict no-sun diet. The point is, he's always doing something. But how did Elon Musk get this way? Well, that's the subject of our latest daily showography.

What do you think of? When you think of the future? Is it space travel? Roads? Trucks with the word cyber in front of them? Whatever your vision, there is one man working to make it a reality. He's part Thomas Edison, part Iron Man, part annoying dude in the group chat, and is anything but your standard CEO.

I changed my title to Techno King. And by the way, this is a formal SEC filing. It's, I'm legally, I'm a former, whatever, techno king. I just did that as kind of like a joke. Yes, he's the technicke, but as a joke, and soon will all be his service, but in a funny way. Because while he may be an eccentric satellite, satellite launching terminally online billionaire

who wants to plug people into computers and build a vast network of underground tunnels. It's not like he's some kind of a super villain. Eventually you can transform miles into an earth-like planet. Drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles. Well, maybe a little. So strapping. Turn on the autopilot, but keep your hands on the steering wheel in case of pedestrians.

Because this is the daily showography of Elon Musk, visionary future man. Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa in Earth year 1971. His father made a fortune in construction and ameral mining because Africa's resources are like free money for white people. Badly bullied in school, Elon overcame many hardships, although unlike other South African celebrities, he didn't make his childhood into a whole thing. By age 10, he was learning to program computer. At 12, he built a video game he called Blastard, which started his lifelong love of inventing things that already exist.

Soon after, he left South Africa and made his way to a booming silicon valley, where he launched his first company, Zip 2, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, which he, he, he he, he he, he he, he the, he the, he the, he the, he the, he their their their their their South Africa and made his way to a booming Silicon Valley where he launched his first company, Zip 2, which he eventually sold to compact computer for $305 million. Like so many tech entrepreneurs, he earned his unimaginable wealth by doing something invaluable for society, selling a startup you've never heard of to a company that doesn't exist anymore. Musts by buying himself a million dollar supercar. There are 62 McLaren's in the world and I will own one of them. Yes, Musk was so rich he could afford to have a midlife crisis while he was still in his 20s.

Sadly, his new toy wouldn't last long. I didn't really know how to drive the McLaren. Because it's like a difficult car to drive, and I florededed, and I their, and I their, 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, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, 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 th, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, to thrown, to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, a difficult car to drive and I floored it and did a lane change and the back wheels broke loose and the car spun around and then we hit the ebankment and knocked the car into the air which continued spinning like a discus like three feet in the air. That's right. Musk's McLaren crashed worse than Dodge Coyne after Saturday Night Live. For his next act, Musc created.com, which would later become PayPal. The app your uncle had to use because Venmo and Cash app won't work on a Znokia. Must took the money you made from that business and build an empire of cool-ass-ships, rocket ships, electric cars, solar farms, artificial intelligence, neuro-technology,

and underground highways, all while dating celebrities and starting a record label to release his own EDM track. Don't out your mind because it's a true. A banger all the more impressive considering Musk had clearly never heard music before. Yes, Elon Musk refuses to stay amusely, much like a Tesla on autopilot. Now I'm not just changing this by itself. Tesla's groundbreaking cars. Ludicrous speed!

Go! Brought unprecedented power range and sexiness to electric vehicles, a market previously reserved for nerds who cared about the environment, and Musk even promised the dream of full self-driving technology. No hands, no, feet, no, no, like promised repeatedly. I'm confident that in less than a year, you'll be able to go from highway on-ramp to highway exit without touching any control. Holy shit, it just ran that red light.

If I come up for over three years, the call will be able to take you from point to point. You could be asleep the whole time. God! Jesus! I think to take you from point to point, you could be asleep the whole time. Got it. Oh, f-h! Jesus! I think we're basically less than two years away from complete autonomy. Oh, what's the f-shut! Oh, shit! We hit that.

Cross country from LA to New York by the end of the year, fully autonomous. Extremely confident of achieving full autonomy and releasing it to the Tesla customer base next year. But Musk can't stop dreaming big even when he probably should. Oh my god. Like when SpaceX made history with the world's first reusable rocket technology and then used it to launch the first car into space. Technically the second, if you count, Elon Musk's McLaren. Must's special brand of achievement is one of a totally normal and healthy fan base around the world. But success didn't come easy. He had to overcome a lot of

doubters, starting with himself. I don't want to give the impression I thought Tesla would be successful from the beginning. I actually thought we would fail. We were only a few days from bankruptcy. It was literally two days. It pushed him to the brink. Musk could have gone from being a multi-billionaire all the way down to the very lowest rung of society. Millionaire. But through the years, Musk kept his many ventures going with little more than his can-do attitude. Oh, Jesus, sorry.

And billions of dollars in government subsidies. Today, Musk isn't merely the richest man in the world, as net worth is higher than the GDP of most countries. Should Musk be a country? Well, he does have a national anthem. But don't worry, it's not like he's got an army or anything. I went to Russia to look at buying a refurbished ICVM, which is a very trippy experience. Okay, maybe worry a little.

And he's not just great at making money, he's also an expert saving it by paying almost nothing in taxes for three years, and then actually nothing in 2018. Of course, there's always haters who like to nitpick must business methods. There are charges of unreported injuries, excessive hours, abusive conditions, injuries on the job, breathing toxic fumes over a hundred ambulance calls. I don't think that's correct. I mean, I was literally living in the factory. If these, if those like toxic fumes, I'm breathing them.

Okay. Exactly. Does Musk seem like a man who is inhaling to, the the the the the thors thors thxic fumes, I'm breathing them. Okay. Exactly. Does Musk seem like a man who is inhaling toxic fumes? But Elon Musk also understands that all work and no play make X-A12 a dull boy. And like any well-adjusted person, his favorite pastime is spending 12 to 14 hours a day on Twitter. So it made sense when Musk announced that he would buy the social media platform, and even more sense when the deal spun out of control and crashed into an unpackment. But Musk doesn't only use Twitter for fun, he uses it to make the world a better place, or at least promise to it.

It's where he promised to solve world hunger, end endffic, fight COVID, and fix Flint's water. And when a Thai soccer team was stuck in a cane, Elon even promised to rescue those kids from the guy who rescued them. That's why Musk is such a champion of free speech. If you can't randomly accuse someone who is saving people's lives of being a pedo guy, does civil discourse even exist? Elon Musk is dedicated to building a brighter future for all humanity. It's why he backed the most futuristic presidential candidate of 2020.

It's why he's so dedicated to turning every aspect of our lives into a platform for his dumb jokes. From robots, to cybernetic implants, to AI, to space travel, to unfettered social media. Elon Musk is building a future that humanity only imagined in the movies. And who wouldn't want to live there? You basically have to think of a hate humanity if you don't like that future. And that's why Elon Musk truly is a visionary future man. All right, say too, because when we come back, Sterling K Brown will be joining me on the show.

Don't go away. Welcome back to the show My Guest Tonight is Emmy-winning actor and producer Sterling K Brown. He's here to talk about playing a mega church pastor in his new film, Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul, which will be in theaters and streaming on Peacock September 2nd. Please welcome Sterling K. Brown. Mr. Sterling Kbride. What's going on brother Nolan? What's going on? Man, it's been a while man. It's nice to see you. You look, you look like you're living your best life. I appreciate him, brood, I feel good. I'm trying to grow my hair out like you. I see it. It's looking like the black hue into the movie, congratulations, congratulations on wrapping it up in style

because a lot of people were sad that the show ended sure, but they appreciated that it ended well, because there's a lot of pressure, you know, people watch, you know, what the hell happened there? Yeah, people watched. No, it can plan to end it in six seasons all along from the beginning. Like the story was complete. He knew where Rebecca was going to be at the end. Like you knew, like there's this whole timeline that he had from the beginning of season

one of how things were going to play out. So there was a beginning, middle and end that made me feel secure as an actor. Okay, okay. And then you decided, I've done this, I've cried a lot. I've cried a lot. You have cried. A lot of Vyzeen up in the, your boy, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if it's Vizien. I feel like you can do it.

I can do it. Oh, get them back clear. Oh, get theyreel. OK, OK. I was like, I was like, wow, Sterling doing comedy now. Okay. No, it's amazing. It's amazing.

I'll tell you why it's amazing. I'll tell you why it's amazing. Tell me, tell me, I tell me. I've been lucky enough to meet you in real life. And you're one of the funniest, most charismatic people I know. But everyone on TV knows you, you know, you're, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm t, I'm t. t. t. tot, ta, ta, tell, tell, tell, tell, you know you and then here you are playing a pasta in I mean the movie's ridiculous it is it's extremely funny Tell me tell me how the project came about if when someone who came up to you and said you know what's starting I want you to play a pasta of a mega church that's involved in a scandal and is trying to bring it all back. Yeah, yeah, so my manager read it first. the manager read it first thi I think it's something you'd like because I also like variety and doing something completely different than Randall, right? They did a short. You can find a short honk for Jesus short on YouTube.

Okay. So I watched a short and I was like, this shit is hysterical. I would like to do something hysterical. So then I read the script and it's also deeper than just being funny too. Because it's like a critique of the church for people who actually love and grew up in these mega churches, which you did. Which I did, but also say there's something that can be improved quite possibly. Oh no, definitely. This is something I always talk about.

Anyone who's grown up in the church knows this. There are many aspects of religion that have been abused by certain people for their own games. You know, so my mom would complain about, my mom's one of the most religious people I've never known in my life, I would go to church six or seven times in a weekend. And my mom would say, we're not going back to that church and I'll say why. And she'd be like, why does that pastor? And she'd be like, why does that, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

My, 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 raris. You get I'm saying? I didn't. And so what's interesting in this is, you're not poking fun at religion. You're talking about people who use people's love of religion to make a buck.

That's right. I feel like all human institutions are valuable, whether they're secular or non-secular. You know what I'm saying? There's messages is is messages is messages is messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages is messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages messages is messages messages. the messages. the messages. the messages. the messages. the messages. the messages. their. tha. th. th. thi. thi. thi, thoan. thoan. thoan, thi, thi, thoan, thoic. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thoic. th. thi, you. thi, you. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their their their their their their thi. thi. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooing. that. that. their thoing. thoing. tho take the good, you leave the rest. I like that. Like you can't find a perfect church. You can't find a perfect government, you know? So that's the way I do. And so my bent is more spiritual than religious at this particular time,

because I just pick and choose. My mom prays for my immortal soul. That's cool. She does that because she loved me. It's a powerhouse team. You know, you're playing the pastor. You've got Regina Hall who's playing, you know, the first lady of the church. She is one of the funniest human beings who have existed. She really is. And then it's produced, I didn't know this until recently. It's produced by Daniel Kulya and Jordan Peel. That's a powerhouse team. We got a good team. We got a good team.

It feels good. So talk me through this, because in the clip that we're watching there, you know, you're seeing it, it looks a little bit like a documentary, but the film is, is a mockumentary style. It's mocked-itory style. the scandalry style. the sca style. the sca. the sca. the sca. the sca. the sca. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a the the t. It's a the the the the th. It's hire a documentary film crew to sort of chart their ascendance back to prominence, or so they hope. Because the documentary film crew was like, all right, I want to see what's going on with these people and what makes them tick.

Whether they get back to their church or not, maybe secondary to what he hopes, that they'll use the documentary for it. How many takes did you have to redo because you were laughing at what Regina was saying? I'm pretty good at not breaking. Really? With Regina? Yeah, I'm pretty good at not breaking. I don't know what it is because I feel like when an actor is being funny,

I don't want to ruin their take. You understand what I'm saying? So if I break, it's like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th, th, th, th, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, 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, the, th, th, th, th. thr, thr, thr. thr. thr. thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thi.ea, thea, thr. this over again. Right? But if you stay in it and just keep the vibe going and feed them more, you never know what kind of like oxygen their fire needs to like burn even hotter. So that's all you're trying to do is just feed the fire. Okay. Okay. So do you feel like now, do you feel like you have a little bit of like this pasta in you? 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, th. th. th. th. th. to th. to th. to, 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 the the the the the the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. to, to, to, to, to, thi. to, to, thi. to, thi. the, the, the, in you? Like you pick up some of that that mega church swag? I would say so a little bit.

He likes his clothes. I'm starting to like clothes more. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Funny story. My son, growing up in the 90s, I used to sag a lot. Like size 36, you know, short even though my waist is like a 32. My son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son son. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

My son now, when he sees me sagging, he's like, dad, people can see your under, my son's 11.

Dad, people can see your under, and literally comes up to me, pulls my pants and holds them up at their waist. That is crazy. It's a generational shift. So now, you know, people try to put your boy in like tight fit, like this stuff is tight, right? But I'm starting to get used to clothes that fit mom. I came home one day after OJ and I had like some new clothes and my mama said, Well, you finally wearing clothes that fits your body. I'm so happy. I love that. It made her happy. You also have one of the strongest topless games. You take your top-off in this movie. No, no, no. This is like one of those things where you just have to give the credit. You take your top off in this movie.

Namaste. And you are one of the most ripped, not just pastures, but human being. I was like, wow, Sterling, you've been holding out on us. You're looking good. I appreciate it, man. You're good. I appreciate it, man. I try to take care of myself. That's it. You know what I'm saying? I got an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old. And my whole plan in life is to be able to play with them as long as I can.

I waited a little longer to have these kids. I'm enjoying them so much. They have energyto see you. Such a funny movie. Sporie K Brown, everybody. Make sure to catch the film. We'll be right back. Don't go away.
