Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's going on everybody. Welcome to another episode of the daily
Starting point is 00:00:38 social distancing show. I'm Trevor Noah, and today is officially Day 38 of us staying inside to try and prevent the spread of coronavirus. And here's your quarantine tip of the day. If you're in lockdown with a romantic partner, now is the time to try some roleplay, you know? You can pretend to be all of the people you're not allowed to see, like your trainer, your barber, your accountant, and no sex. They are the the the their their their their, their, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, their train, train, train, train, train, train, train, train, train, if train, train, if tip. If. If. If. If. If, if tip, if tip, if tip, if tip, if tip, if tap, if tip, tip, tap, tip, tip, tip, tip, tipe, tip, tip, tip, tipe, thae, thae, thaeanan, tr-a'eananananananananananeananananananane, tipe, tip, tip, tipe, they just do the actual job. Oh, are you here to do my taxes? Yeah, I'm gonna do the taxes.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Okay, cool, I'm gonna do the dishes. Anyway, on tonight's episode, coronavirus has killed spelling. Germany is getting sober, and we check in with the commander in chaos. So let's get into it. Welcome to the daily social distancing show. From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the daily social distancing show with Trevor Noah.
Starting point is 00:01:32 You know in the age of Corona, keeping up with the news can feel a little demoralizing. It's like we've been on a Spirit Airlines flight for a month. Spirit Airlines. The truth is, I kind of miss you guys. So to keep our spirits up, it's nice to take a month. Spirit Airlines. The truth is, I kind of miss you guys. So to keep our spirits up, it's nice to take a moment to remind us of the not-so-scary things going on in the world right now in our ongoing segment, A ray of sunshine. All right, let's kick it off with IKEA, the perfect place to buy furniture that's cheap, but looks cheap. The Swedish company has decided to release an easy version of the recipe for its famous meatballs so that you can make the meatballs at home.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah, and since quarantine already has you fighting with your significant other, once you've got the meatballs, you'll have the entire IKEA experience. Now, this is a really cool idea. Although the last time I ate meatballs at IKEA, it gave me some indigestion, and I learned the hard way that those display bathrooms are not hooked up to the plumbing. Someone should fix that. But I do appreciate that IKEA released this recipe,
Starting point is 00:02:37 and honestly, I couldn't wait to try it for myself. I don't understand why there's extra screws, it's meatballs. All right, I wasn't crying. This next story is for everyone out there who's forced to work from home. Do you feel like your work is taking over your living space? Well, you should thank your lucky stars that you don't live with this guy. Banksy, striking again, this time in his own bathroom. Yeah, not sure if you like this, Kim, take a look.
Starting point is 00:03:05 England's mysterious street artist posting these photos online, showing rats. Running a muck during the lockdown in the artist's bathroom. One rat hanging from a light switch by its tail, looking down at another, hanging from a towel holder, while squirting toothpaste on the wall. There's also this one of one one the rat one of thrat thrat thine thine thine thoen of thoom thoom thoom thoom thoom tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho, tho, tho, too, too, too, tho, tho, too, too, too, 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 tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the wall, there's also this one of a rat playing on a roll of toilet. There's also one by the toilet, which you probably don't want to look closely at.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yikes. Man, I don't know how Banksy did it. But I want in on this scam. Because when he draws all over his walls, he's a brilliant artist. But when I do it, I'm losing th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, I'm losing, I'm losing. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. th th the. th. thi. thi. the. th. toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe. toe, toe, toe, toe, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

It's th. th to. toe. to. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. this must have been really weird for his roommate when you think about it. Because nobody knows who Banksy is. So they walked into the bathroom and they're like, oh my God, this is a Banksy. Wait a minute, Mark? Do you think Banksy was in our bathroom?
Starting point is 00:03:58 And finally, every day we read tragic stories of how many lives the coronavirus has claimed. But maybe what we should also be doing is celebrating the people who've come back to life. We do want to mention one person who was singled out today by Governor Murphy, 26-year-old Jack Allard, was in a medically induced coma after coming down with a virus after spending time on a ventilator in five full weeks in the hospital, the governor today announcing that Jack has died. It was a long month, but slowly Jack rebounded. And last Thursday he was clapped out by the doctors and nurses who saved his life as he walked out of the hospital. I feel horrible. Jack is very much alive. Jack, we love you. Again, Jack is alive and back home.
Starting point is 00:04:43 He has come home. Not in the figurative sense, but in the quite literal sense and my deepest apologies for that. I was just misread everything and I apologize, but he is alive and we are grateful for that. Wow. That was quite the emotional roller coaster. Jack has tragically died, and I'm hearing Jack is very much alive. Good on you, Jack. Okay, let's turn to Glenn Glenn for the weather forecast. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. to th. to to the th. the th. the th. the, the the the thi the the 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. the th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. thi. the. the the the thi. the thi. thi. thi very much alive. Good on you Jack. Okay let's turn to Glenn for the weather forecast. Glenn? Oh my god he's dead! Oh no wait he's on the other side sorry Glenn. What's the weather looking like? I actually wonder if this is what happened with Jesus? Because I mean what's more likely that the son of God died and then came back to life? or that some Jerusalem news anchor anchor thensensensensensensensensensensensensensensensensensensens news news news news news news news news news news news news news news news news news news news the news the news the news the news the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the weather. the the too. toe. toe. to to to to to to the son of God died and then came back to life, or that some Jerusalem news anchor just read the story wrong? No, I still believe the Bible story, and I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Because my grandmother might watch this episode. Hi Gogol. All right, that's your way of sunshine. Let's get straight into the headlines. First up, researchers are finding out that coronavirus arrived in the United States a lot earlier than we thought. Officials in California have discovered that their first corona deaths actually happened in early February, weeks before the first US case was officially diagnosed. And a new data analysis shows that tens of thousands of hidden infections were just silently spreading through American cities in January and February. So basically every day we're still
Starting point is 00:06:15 learning more and more about this coronavirus. I'm sure eventually we're going to get through its whole origin story. You know it'll be like with the joker where we're all going to be like oh he's evil because he has to walk up those stairs every day. It makes sense. But this is big news. If more people have been infected by the coronavirus than we thought, then that means more people have survived the coronavirus than we originally thought, which means the lockdowns don't help because we weren't locked down and the coronavirus than we originally thought, which means the lockdowns don't help because we weren't locked down and the people didn't die except that they did die and we didn't know that they were dying and now that they're not dying that means that the lockdowns are helping. So all we need is herd immunity
Starting point is 00:06:54 tracing programs that isolate the antibodies and we should be fine. I don't know what any of that means but I read a lot of this on thmsesesesesese. thso. thn. thn. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, thee, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thin, thin, the. And, thr-I. And, thr-a. And, thr-a. And, thr-I's, thr-I's the the the the. And, the. And, but I read a lot of this on Twitter. In other news, the coronavirus has been shutting down events all over the world, from sporting events to concerts, to that big Illuminati meeting that was scheduled for the weekend of the... At B.S.N.N. Next to the Denny's on Route 9. And now, Corona has even come for the national Spelling Bee. Yeah, that's right. They announced that the Spelling Bee has officially been C-A-N-S-C- No, not C-E-L-D.
Starting point is 00:07:34 The point is, the spelling B is not happening this year. And I'm not going to lie, I feel so bad for these kids who have been training their whole lives for this, and now it's all for nothing for nothing... be honest, aside from winning this competition, there's no other use for knowing how to spell difficult words. Oh my god, I think I'm having a heart attack. Can anybody help? No, but I can spell defibrillator. D.E.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Now, if these spelling B kids were planning to drown their sorrows, I've got some more bad news. Germany has cancelled October Fest, partially because of coronavirus and partially because you can't celebrate October Fest when no one knows what month it is anymore. Do you know? Because I don't know. And this is huge. Because it's the first time October Fest has been canceled since World War II. And it's actually nice. It's actually nice that the Germans had the decency to cancel it during World War II, because I mean, otherwise that would have just been rude. And now we invade France! Drabi-de-nobah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! But for real though, man, this is a big
Starting point is 00:08:37 blow for Germany. Because October Fest, Octoberfest is not just a big cultural event. It's the one time a year that Germans actually have fun. You know, the rest of the year they bottle it up. Yeah, they'll be on roller coasters like, here comes the loop, de loop part. Woo, woo, woo, All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's get straight to the big story. Ever since coronavirus started, nothing has been the same.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Policing is not the same. Relationships are not the same. Getting drunk at 10 a.m. is not the same. I mean, it's way less exciting if everyone's doing it now. But there's one thing that's remained surprisingly constant. And that's been the chaos within the Trump administration. Because where most administrations would be galvanized by an external threat, this White House seems to think of chaos as an essential service that they need to keep providing. And yesterday, it all spilled out into the open, starting with a bombshell.
Starting point is 00:09:36 The scientist in charge of the government's efforts to make a coronavirus vaccine suddenly got fired with no explanation. Now, he says it's because he disagreed with President Trump about pushing hydrochloroquy as a miracle drug, right? But then, some people who worked with him said, actually, he was fired because he wasn't good at his job, and he was working too slowly. And I'm sorry, people, but this is insane. We're in the middle of a pandemic,
Starting point is 00:10:07 and Trump's people are squabbling like they're on an Andy Cohen reunion show. And to make things even worse, when President Trump was asked why the guy in charge of finding a vaccine was fired, this is how he responded. I never heard of him. When did this happen? This happened today.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Oh, I never heard of him. If a guy says he was pushed out of a job, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, and I did have to hear the other said, I don't know who he is. That's right. Trump has never heard of the thrown. the scientist who's in charge of finding the vaccine? A scientist? Ew, gross. I'd rather meet Eric. And here's my only question about Trump. Why does he never hear of the people who are trying to solve problems? But people who are trying to cause problems? Hello, Giuliani? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:10:56 some guy has the cure in his lab. I need you to get in there and do your Tasmanian devil thing. I don't understand how Trump has never heard of the person in charge of finding the vaccine to the disease that has shut down the entire world. And don't tell me it's because he's too busy. I mean, this is the same man. The same man who says he's been watching every nightly news show, plus CNN, MSNBC in the morning, Fox News on weekend afternoons, and even reruns of baseball. Reruns.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And let me tell you something, if you have time to watch reruns of baseball, you have time for anything. Baseball is boring when it's happening. Watching it in reruns is like watching paint dry through a PowerPoint presentation. And for this next one... But you know what, maybe the vaccine guy is actually lucky that Trump doesn't know who the hell he is, because the people that Trump does know, they have it even worse. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC and guy who owns a pharmacy in every Western, made news when he told the Washington Post that next winter, a second wave of coronavirus
Starting point is 00:12:01 could be even more difficult to handle because it could coincide with flu season. And the idea of corona and flu hitting us simultaneously is terrifying. Because that means we're going to have to do double social distancing. We've got to wear two masks. We've got to stay 12 feet away from people. We're going to have to watch celebrities sing, imagine, imagine, imagine, there's no people, blah, blah, blah. Oh, and the president was clearly unhappy with what the CDC director said, because right after the article came out, Trump tried to call back seas.
Starting point is 00:12:33 The president also trying to walk back the head of the CDC's warning about a second wave of the virus next fall, claiming it was fake news. Totally misquoted. I spoke to him. He said it was ridiculous. He was talking about the flu and corona coming together at the same time. Bringing Redfield to the podium to clarify. I didn't say that this was going to be worse. I said it was going to be more difficult and potentially complicated because we'll have flu and coronavirus circulated at the same time. Ah, okay, so it's not going to get worse.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's just going to be more difficult and complicated. If only there was one word that could summarize that general feeling. You know, I'll be honest, I actually feel sorry for all of these experts who have to share the stage with Trump. Because think about their job. They have to walk a fine line of giving everyone accurate information, but then also making sure that they don't say anything that angers their boss. In a way, working for Trump is like being married to Carol Baskin. One foot wrong.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And you don't know what could happen. I mean, we don't know what happened, but the chaos of this administration. And what makes the tho the thi the thi thi the thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thoomomomomom-a, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, tho, thi, tho, 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. theeauuuuuuuu.. theauuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, you know, the chaos of this administration would be bad enough if it was just confined to Washington, but what makes this thing worse, I'm sorry, what makes it more difficult to contain, is that the chaos is not spreading around the country. Because last week, Trump encouraged governors to reopen their economies. But now, now that Georgia's trump-loving Governor Brian Kemp has done exactly what Trump is saying, all of a sudden it's like, oh snap, you on your own, son.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities. I want him to do what he thinks is right. But I disagree with him on what he's doing. So do I agree with him? No, but I respect him and I will let him make his decision. Would I do that? No, I'd keep him a little longer. I want to protect people's lives. You have got to be kidding.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Trump didn't just throw Brian Kemp under the bus. He basically looked up the bus schedule in advance, told Brian Kemp to meet him at the road at 315, and then guess who was driving. And you know, this is what you get when you roll with Donald Trump. These guys are trying so hard to suck up to him, and then when they're fully committed, bam, he can just sell you out. This whole Trump and then Kemp thing, it sort of reminds me of Eminem and Stan. In fact, it's almost exactly the same as Eminem and Stan. Hey Donald, I just opened up my state, dare me to drive?
Starting point is 00:15:10 I said that shit just clowning dog. How fucked up is you? I saw this one dude on the news, said he's opening bowling at least two. And now that I think about, oh shit, it was you. Up at the break. we're going to be checking in with Roywood Jr. So stick around, and we'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like, none of this stuff this stuff this stuff this stuff gets this stuff gets this stuff gets this stuff gets this stuff gets this stuff gets gets this stuff gets gets gets this stuff gets gets this stuff gets gets this stuff gets this stuff gets th gets th gets thi gets treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a Second Look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Recently, one of the fun things that has been keeping people sane is videos of celebrities making quarantine cocktails. And you know what we thought? Why not ask Roywood Jr. for some of his mixology secrets? Stanley Tucci was kind enough to share with us his recipe for negroni. I don't have those ingredients to make a negrony, but I'm going to show you a simple drink you can make with anything you have in your house. It's called a negroiny. Also, I don't know if white people should be saying negrony. But it is stately, too, so we will allow it. All right, first thing I want you to take your Hennessy, thrown. Nothing good ever came from Hennessy except except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, except, the th, the th, th, th, thi, the the the thi, thi, the the the thnessy, threw it in the trash. Nothing good ever came from Hennesse except for a couple of little jarms.
Starting point is 00:16:47 First thing you want to look at when you're making a new groining is your glass situation. Now you've got your pints, you got your rocks, or if you really, really had a long day, you're pails. We're going to start now with the vodka. oil. Oh, shit. That's fresh. Already got ice inside of here, a little bit of vodka, just a splash, a mone, two splash. Now you want to get a different grain of vodka, put a little bit of that off in there as well. Next thing you want to do with the negroiny, we want to go with heavy cream or half and half, your choice. I'm going to go with a little bit of lactose and half, the thape, thia, thia, thi, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a t.a, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a th. A. A. A. A, a toa, a toa, a to a to a to a to a, a, a, a, a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a toa, a toa, a toa, a t.a, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, a little, a little, a little, you can put a little bit of lactate on top of that. If you don't have any lactate, whiskey does the trick just the same. All right, so let's shake.
Starting point is 00:17:33 All right, the drink is shook. They say you're supposed to shake this for 30 seconds. I only got five seconds worth the stamina trying to get drunk. I'm not trying to do a damn Zumba class. Pour that off and there you go. The last and most important part of the Negroni, the garnish. I prefer a little bit of peach mango salsa. Let's do a little more, why not? All right. And here it is, the Negroiny. No-noons. God damn. When the bar gonna be open?
Starting point is 00:18:08 Thank you so much Roy. I hope you never quit your job. When we come back, my guests will be R&B stars Kenneth Babyface Edmonds and Teddy Riley. Stick around for that. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today, I got the chance to speak to R&B Legends, Kenneth, Babyface Edmonds, and Teddy Riley, who recently broke Instagram with a head-to-head live performance of their classic hits. We talked about that and more, so check it out.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Teddy Riley, Babyface Admin's, thank you so much for joining us on the show. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm flustered because this is everything that I have ever grown up with, have lived with, continue to live with. I want to jump straight into talking about what happened the other nights. First of all, it's thank you. You know, everyone's sitting at home. We're trying to find ways to connect. We're trying to find ways to, you know, create a semblance of normal life. You broke Instagram in a way that it had never been broken before, having a versus battle. Is there, is there, how did you even, how did you th. th. th. thin, how did thin, how did thin, how do thin, how do thin, thin, thin, thi??? thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, to thin, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to 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. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to thin, to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to you even begin to think of doing this together? Who started the conversation and how did it come to be?
Starting point is 00:19:48 Well, I seen it on Instagram, you know, Timmelan was talking to Swiss and the conversation kind of began of with LA and Babyface. Somebody sent the message and they said, they said, they said, how about Teddy Riley battling Babyface or Teddy Raleigh battling Babyface in LA? And that was the last I seen of it. Then I get a call. So that's it. So, you got. So when I heard about it, I didn't say, I didn't know about it to that extent. And the whole idea of battling, I wasn't necessary for, just a battle, period. Yeah. I think we'll battle Teddy to begin with.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And it was, you know, LA and Baby Face because a lot of the stuff, you know, it's LA and Babyface, because a lot of the stuff, you know, a lot of the stuff we did, you know, I did it with LA. So it didn't seem right to like come in here without LA because it was LA and babyface and although there were some things I may have done, you know, separate, but still. So it became more of a thing. It, I guess just commercially just sounded good like Teddy Riley and baby faced. You know, thirty. It's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the th. the th. th. the the th. the th. the the th. th. the th. th. the thi, they, thi, th. the th. the the the th. It's, 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. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's the. It's the. It's thi. It's thi. It's the. It's th. It's funny is the preparation for it. Yes. Because you don't know, you know, what's he going to play? And like, I like that. This is the song's like, let's see if he's like, right, you're wrong. Okay, then I have my answer written down right here. And then he switched, switch up and said, oh, no, what I'm going to do now. So it was like and it became a thing and just it the most important thing you wanted it to feel good. Right. So it wasn't so much about beating each other. That was part of the fun of it. But but it was really about what's going to feel good. And so every time he plays something, truly I was like a fan. I was like, oh man, that's that one. Same here. I wish I wrote and and I
Starting point is 00:21:46 think I wrote it I think he stole it from me actually. I said the same thing about two occasions when he bought that out first I said oh god what I don't start it out wrong. You have one of the best effortless Michael Jackson impersonations I've ever heard and as we're going through the Instagram live you were telling these amazing stories that connected us to the music and the stories behind the music. You know, you told the story of Michael Jackson and Madonna. Did you ever do your Michael Jackson impression for Michael Jackson? Did you ever see you do that?
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yes, yes I did. He said I sounded nothing like that. You don't sound like me baby face. He refused to call me Kenny. So you can call me Kenny. No, I'm going to call you baby face. You know, you know what I thought was amazing as well is when, when this was announced on Instagram, I remember thinking to myself,
Starting point is 00:22:35 man, this is going to be so much fun for a generation. I wonder if you yourself were shocked to see not just how many people were consuming what you were doing, but the vast range of people that had been influenced by what you've created throughout your lives. Like Babyface, did you, did you notice like how young some of the people were and just how the range it's spanned across time? It's always a great feeling when you see people that like your music and if you see them singing and everything, but it's still when you know certain people come up to you and they say they know you or they say they know particular songs. It's like, how would you know, how could you possibly know? From every age group and every ethnicity. So this is a time where you know you need love and you need to feel good and feeling good music
Starting point is 00:23:25 whether you're grooving or whether you're in the bedroom that's all about feel good at this particular point and we all want that so. Yeah. It felt like to me you know what what you're saying was was a feeling we were all experiencing when watching this Instagram live with the two of you was it was a feeling of love it was a love not just for the music but for the two of you was, it was a feeling of love. It was, it was a love not just for the music, but for the stories that have been created with and around the music. It was, it was a love for each other as producers. And I'll start with you, babyface, because a lot of people were intrigued by the songs.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Some people that were their songs. Some people thoooe, their tho, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho.....e, tho.e.e.e.ean, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, th.. hits. Some of people thought you would go with, you know, some of the more mainstream songs, but you went with songs that were deep cuts. Is there a reason you chose what you did? And what did it feel like to go through that journey with everyone? Well, a lot of the choices were made based up of what Teddy would play. And I sat with LA and we were going over everything trying to figure out, was he going to play, how's he going to play it?
Starting point is 00:24:27 And then we had to be conservative because at the same time, because I know he's coming with the bangers towards the end. That last, the last rounds, he's going to come and he's going to start slapping me. And I didn't know if I was going to make it throw th through it so. And Teddy on your side? What was that like going through your catalog, going through that experience with one of your icons and your friends? Well, the same. That's why, you know, I asked Swiss, can we do it this way where he goes, I go first in the second 10. It worked, you know, but I think it was a good, that's why I kind of wanted to go off for him because I wanted people to feel the experience.
Starting point is 00:25:09 So I kept playing the slow songs until I ran out, until my mind ran out. I didn't run out of slow songs. I couldn't choose from this list fast enough. So that's how I went in deep. And somebody said, wrong choice. There were a few fun moments with the Instagram Live itself. Obviously the first one had technical difficulties. The second one, you're doing something that Instagram Live wasn't really designed for, you're trying to get the music right, you're trying to get your sound right.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Do you think you're going to be online more or less? I don't know. I'm just rolling with the wave, you know, that's what I feel like we both are doing because this is something new to us. We're technical guys for sure. Right. But with Instagram, it's like another world because you're talking about 15 to maybe 35, you know, are on there. So that's kind of, we're kind of past that. And, you know, coming on, people appreciate us being on. So we're appreciated, man. Everything that we get or come our way, I'm so appreciative. Ultimately, what came out of this is that, you know, we, it's so cool when you think about it that Teddy and I, we made history.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah. And a time when people were needing music and needing love, we were able to deliver that. And look at what we did, Teddy. Yeah. It's an amazing way to put it. And honestly, the one thing I can say I appreciated it and I was reminded of was just gratitude. I think the one thing that struck me was not just the amount that you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you that you the amount that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you've that you've that you've that you've that you've that you've that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that one thing that struck me was not just the amount that you've given, but the way it feels like you, you have enjoyed everything you've received.
Starting point is 00:26:53 So thank you to both of you. I honestly hope you appreciate what you did for everybody. It was one of the most amazing experiences that I think a group of people have had to get on the internet for a really long time. And I hope it's not the last battle because I know there's still a lot of songs in that catalog. So Babyface, Teddy Riley, thank you so much for your time today. And have a good one. Thank you. Thank you.
