2:07

From the most trusted journalists

2:10

at Comedy Center. It's

2:12

America's only source for

2:14

news. This is the

2:17

Daily Show with your

2:19

host John! I

2:44

got a new tie with

2:46

the chart. I'll tell you

2:48

what, we got a great

2:51

one. Paul Rudd is going

2:53

to go on. Paul

2:55

Rudd finally had balls

2:57

to come on this

3:00

show after weeks of

3:02

calling me a propagandist.

3:04

Know this. Our interview

3:07

will be unedited.

3:09

Rudd's going down. It's

3:12

happening. I'm going to give

3:14

that dude an infection of

3:16

the parenine. I should explain. We

3:18

come out early, I do a

3:20

little warm-up with the audience,

3:23

and for some unknown reason.

3:25

And it really was not

3:27

prompted. I was trying to

3:29

discuss the relationship between asthma

3:31

medication and a side effect

3:34

of an infection of the

3:36

parenium. Unfortunately, I have no

3:38

one in the audience who

3:40

was able to... satisfy my

3:42

curiosity on that. Those you at home

3:44

who may be looking it up right

3:47

now, wait till the commercial break. But

3:49

first, a quick update on an administration

3:51

that is once again carrying out its

3:54

plans with competence and

3:56

professionalism. A reporter from

3:58

the Atlantic says he was...

4:00

mistakenly added to a group

4:02

chat with top members of

4:05

the Trump administration as they

4:07

were texting back and forth

4:09

about highly sensitive war plans.

4:12

Jeffrey Goldberg says he was

4:14

included in a group chat

4:16

full of our nation's top

4:19

security officials discussing what we

4:21

can only assume to be

4:24

top secret plans to bomb

4:26

Houthi targets across Yemen on

4:28

March 15th. Everything from the

4:31

weapons America would be deploying

4:33

to the timing and the

4:35

attack sequences. Oopsie, popsy! You

4:38

know, back in my day,

4:40

if you were a journalist,

4:42

who wanted leaked war documents,

4:45

he had to work the

4:47

sources, meet him in a

4:49

dark garage, earn the trust,

4:52

pound the pavement. Now, you

4:54

just wait for the National

4:56

Security Advisor to be distracted

4:59

by White Lotus while he's

5:01

setting up his bomb Yemen.

5:03

Group chat. Are those guys

5:06

jerked each other off? By

5:08

the way, I might be

5:11

in this group chat, I

5:13

don't know. I don't check

5:15

my group chats. Perhaps my

5:18

favorite text of the entire

5:20

group chain was the one

5:22

from our defense secretary saying,

5:25

quote, we are currently clean

5:27

on upset. For those who

5:29

don't know, Opsek means operational

5:32

security. He said that in

5:34

a group chat. A group

5:36

chat with a journalist. The

5:39

journalist said that he didn't

5:41

think that the story was

5:43

real until Yemen was bombed.

5:46

Oh, did I bring you

5:48

down? Let's move on. Because

5:51

as you know there there are certain

5:53

democracies and absurdities that we find in

5:55

our cultural moment that make for great

5:57

fodder for humorous dialogue a facial expression

6:00

a nod in a wink.

6:02

Then there are other pronouncements

6:04

by our elected officials, actions

6:06

by our government, that are

6:08

so boldly bullshit. Even though

6:10

you know it will have

6:12

no effect, and that these

6:14

powerful creatures have been genetically

6:16

modified to resist shame, self-reflection

6:18

of any kind. You just

6:21

can't help yourself but to

6:23

go old-school daily show. I'm

6:25

talking about the debate on

6:27

free speech. Now as we

6:29

know. Conservatives have been very

6:31

concerned about the loss of

6:33

free speech in our country

6:35

for a very long time.

6:37

Bullies on the left aiming

6:39

to silence conservatives. Free speech

6:41

is under siege in this

6:43

country. The leftist, they've become

6:45

the thought police. They basically

6:47

declare themselves God and judge

6:49

us for our thoughts. George

6:51

Orwell was right. The thought

6:53

police come next to punish

6:55

thought crime. Be very, very

6:57

scared. Not

7:13

for the reasons you. Are

7:15

the thought police with you

7:18

right now? Are they in

7:20

the bottle? But luckily our

7:23

national free speech nightmare recently

7:25

came to an end when

7:28

we entered the Golden Age

7:30

of Donald Joseph effort Trump.

7:33

We have saved free speech

7:35

in America, and we've saved

7:38

it strongly free speech in

7:40

America It's back. Thank God.

7:43

We have a president now

7:45

who believes in free speech.

7:47

Yes Thank God We have

7:50

a president now who believes

7:52

in free speech just go

7:55

ahead roll to 12. I

7:57

believe that CNN and MSDNC

8:00

they do is illegal. I

8:02

think CBI should lose its

8:05

license, but I think ABC

8:07

should lose its license also

8:10

because of what they've done.

8:12

I watched what happened live.

8:14

I think Bravo should also

8:17

lose their license. What they

8:19

did to Durinda on traders,

8:22

they should be sent to

8:24

a Salvadorian ally. This

8:30

is what I'm talking

8:32

about. Generally, you've got

8:34

to search the archives

8:37

for contradictions on one

8:39

stated principles. Dig through

8:42

policy papers to uncover

8:44

private actions that are

8:47

undermined by someone's public

8:49

stance. But this is

8:52

so blatant. I can't

8:54

wrap my head around

8:56

it. It's not even

8:59

the hypocrisy. It's that

9:01

they so fetishize free

9:04

speech, this thing that

9:06

they do not in

9:09

any way actually practice.

9:11

The freedom to speak

9:14

our minds and express

9:16

the truth that is

9:18

our heart. Really, that's

9:21

really a big chunk

9:23

of our heart. hearts

9:29

come in chunks. Blood comes into

9:31

the aorta to the right ventricle

9:34

passes through your speech chunk. But

9:36

since coming into office, Trump and

9:38

the Republicans have instituted policies that

9:40

are a dagger right through many

9:43

people's speech chunks. The White House

9:45

has barred the Associated Press from

9:47

presidential events because the AP has

9:50

refused to rename the Gulf of

9:52

Mexico, the Gulf of America in

9:54

its style book. And in a

9:56

dramatic escalation against the American legal

9:59

system, Trump this week. and directed

10:01

his government to target law

10:03

firms battling his actions.

10:05

Federal immigration officials arrested

10:08

a Palestinian activist who

10:10

helped lead last year's student

10:12

encampment protest at Columbia. I

10:14

think we ought to get

10:16

them all out of the country. They're

10:19

troublemakers. They're agitators. They

10:21

don't love our country. My

10:23

chunks. My chunks. My lovely lady

10:26

chunks. My chunks. My chunks. You're

10:35

making my perineum

10:37

tingla. Here's the

10:39

thing. These attacks

10:41

on free speech,

10:43

especially the one where

10:46

they deported that activist.

10:48

If there's one thing

10:51

that I know. about

10:53

the powerful principles at our higher

10:55

education institutions. They will not be

10:58

bullied by a role to 12.

11:00

Columbia University is bowing to President

11:02

Trump's demands, announcing it will change

11:04

a number of policies. Among them,

11:07

placing the schools Middle Eastern

11:09

South Asian and African Studies

11:11

Department under academic receivership for

11:13

at least five years. Some

11:15

students, protests, the war

11:17

on Gaza, suddenly a whole

11:19

academic department is on double

11:22

secret probation. with government oversight.

11:24

And by the way, okay,

11:26

Middle East part, African studies?

11:29

What the fuck did they

11:31

do? Through the African studies,

11:33

professors like, I teach intermediate

11:36

Swahili. See, these guys

11:38

don't give a fuck about free

11:41

speech. They care about their

11:43

speech. It's so blatant hypocrisy. It's

11:45

so old school daily show gotcha. You

11:47

know what, I'm just going to put

11:49

on the wig I used to wear

11:51

during those years. Because

12:02

the policy is just so,

12:04

here's Donald Trump on those

12:06

who would criticize judges that

12:08

he has appointed. A lot

12:10

of the judges that I

12:12

had, if you look at

12:14

them, they take tremendous abuse

12:16

and it's truly interference in

12:18

my opinion and it should

12:20

be illegal and it probably

12:22

is illegal in some form.

12:24

Yes, criticizing judges. It is

12:26

interference. It should be illegal.

12:28

Tremendous abuse. Four days later.

12:30

Not four. days later. Not

12:32

a full French work week

12:34

later. President Donald Trump just

12:36

took to true social and

12:38

deemed this judge responding to

12:41

this decision here calling him

12:43

a radical left lunatic of

12:45

a judge, a troublemaker, an

12:47

agitator who was sadly appointed

12:49

by Barack Hussein Obama. He

12:51

says this judge should be

12:53

impeached. And

12:59

are we really still

13:01

doing the Barack Hussein

13:03

Obama thing? Oh, free

13:05

Harambe. Come on, people!

13:07

See, what was the

13:09

whole thing that they

13:11

hated about the left

13:13

on free speech? No

13:15

one is safe from

13:17

the left's word police.

13:19

No one. What exactly

13:22

would it actual government-run

13:24

word-police organization look like?

13:26

The Trump administration is...

13:28

actively trying to purge

13:30

the federal government of

13:32

so-called woke initiatives. Government

13:34

agencies have flagged hundreds

13:36

of words to limit

13:38

or avoid words like

13:40

DEI, BIPOC, anti-racism, Latin

13:42

X, Native American, black,

13:44

women, seemingly random words

13:46

like expression, at risk,

13:48

political, and even mental

13:50

health and sex. By

14:00

pocket Latin X, I get

14:02

that. You're not allowed to

14:05

say sex. You can't say

14:07

words like women or sex

14:09

or hashtag me too? How

14:11

can a lot of your

14:14

cabinet members describe their weekends?

14:16

You know, you can't protest

14:18

in a way that. You

14:23

can't protest in a way that offends

14:25

the right. You can't teach things that

14:27

the right doesn't want you to teach.

14:30

You can't read things that they don't

14:32

want you to read. You can't use

14:34

words that they don't want you to

14:36

use, but they love free speech. I

14:38

guess fear not. At least we'll always

14:41

have art. President Trump demanding a painting

14:43

of him be removed because he finds

14:45

it unfiled. He's

15:09

demanding they take it down because

15:11

he believes this picture is unflattering.

15:13

Which really makes you think, do

15:16

you think other pictures of you

15:18

are flattering? At least in the

15:21

painting, they blended the foundation into

15:23

your hair. But painting is out.

15:25

Oddly enough, there is still one

15:28

area of free speech that the

15:30

right defends non-hypocritically. I think they've

15:32

come a long way, meta. Facebook

15:35

Mark Zuckerberg came to the White

15:37

House, who I like much better

15:39

now. You know, I have a

15:42

warm spot in my heart for

15:44

TikTok. Twitter, now they call it

15:46

X. And it's great that Elon

15:49

bought that. He's done us all

15:51

a big favor. He loves it.

15:54

Metal. X. The ticketie-tok. Why is

15:56

it that they're so enamored with

15:58

social media? Studies by the Wall

16:01

Street Journal, the Washington Post, and

16:03

academic organizations have found that the

16:05

site forced political content on users,

16:08

that content was almost invariably pro-

16:10

Trump, pro-Republican, and pro- Musk. Huh!

16:12

The one area of free speech

16:15

that they want to protect completely

16:17

is the area that supports them

16:19

and isn't actually free. Social media

16:22

is algorithmic. And it advances... with

16:24

key demographics or to put that

16:27

in the most hilarious way possible.

16:29

The president sat down without kicks

16:31

Clay Travis on Air Force One

16:34

to discuss the status of his

16:36

second term. President Trump getting to

16:38

talk to you here on Air

16:41

Force One. I wanted to start

16:43

with this. Why do you think

16:45

young men are so overwhelmingly coming

16:48

in your direction? My

17:04

work here is done.

17:06

Perhaps I can answer

17:09

that question. They are

17:11

overwhelmingly coming in his

17:13

direction because that is

17:16

the direction they're facing.

17:18

I don't know if

17:21

you know how that

17:23

works, but you really

17:25

can't come in a

17:28

direction you're not facing.

17:34

Although young men at

17:36

that age you could

17:38

bank a shot I

17:40

could I could see

17:42

one fly over the

17:44

shoulder Maybe a trick

17:46

shot where they landed

17:48

in a cup you

17:51

know where that would

17:53

go viral social media

17:55

unequivocally protect free speech

17:57

is the one place

17:59

where the speech isn't

18:01

actually free algorithms. It's

18:03

speech incentivized for engagement

18:05

and profit. It's manipulated.

18:07

It just so happens

18:09

that the same process

18:11

that forces you to

18:13

doom scroll somehow also

18:15

draws you into Republican

18:18

ideology. Social media is

18:20

a machine designed to

18:22

stimulate the reptilian parts

18:24

of your brain that

18:26

would otherwise beg you

18:28

to go outside. It's

18:30

like being impressed that

18:32

casinos give out free

18:34

food. It's not free!

18:36

Social media isn't the

18:38

town square open forum

18:40

of ideas. It's got

18:42

a plan. In the

18:45

summer of 2019, Facebook

18:47

created a fake account

18:49

for a 41-year-old mom.

18:51

They called her Carol

18:53

Smith. Carol started off

18:55

by liking a few

18:57

popular conservative Facebook pages,

18:59

but quickly, Facebook began

19:01

dragging her down a

19:03

rabbit hole of misinformation.

19:05

After only two days,

19:07

Facebook recommended Carol follow

19:09

a Q-N-on page, and

19:12

a few days later,

19:14

it suggested she follow

19:16

another. By week three,

19:18

Carol's feet had become,

19:20

quote, a constant flow

19:22

of misleading and polarizing

19:24

content. Now, Carol Smith

19:26

is a completely fictional

19:28

character, and yet her

19:30

children have stopped talking

19:32

to her. and

19:35

knows the details about

19:37

lender bombing. Guys, social

19:40

media isn't the same

19:42

as free speech. Social

19:44

media is free speech

19:47

in the way that

19:49

Doritos are food. It's

19:52

ultra-processed. It's designed in

19:54

laboratories. It's the same

19:56

mechanism that somehow convinced

19:59

you that you should

20:01

eat a 50. story

20:03

skyscraper of potato-ish. And

20:06

the most disappointing thing,

20:08

where are my conspiracy

20:11

theories at? Now that

20:13

it's on the right,

20:15

for God's sakes, billionaires

20:18

are designing machines to

20:20

manipulate our speech, to

20:22

control our behavior and

20:25

rewire our brains. They're

20:27

removing our regular speech

20:30

and doing a, I

20:32

don't know, great replacement

20:34

of it to solidify

20:37

their hold on power.

20:39

Are you awake yet?

20:41

Oh, you were with

20:44

me on the lably

20:46

thing? Remember what happened?

20:49

You've barely even touched

20:51

your Epstein binders? Doesn't

20:53

this bother you at

20:56

all? Elon Musk has

20:58

taken a very courageous

21:00

stand for the First

21:03

Amendment. He's tough as

21:05

a pine knight. And

21:08

the man's got guts.

21:10

He's got... He's got

21:12

oranges the size of

21:15

beach balls. Please stop

21:17

with this fog-horn, leg-horn

21:19

bullshit. Got oranges the

21:22

size of a baseball.

21:24

But let me guess.

21:27

How do you feel

21:29

about other billionaires owning

21:31

and manipulating our media?

21:34

Mr. Soros is now

21:36

the largest single shareholder

21:38

in auditing radio stations.

21:41

In America, you can't

21:43

just go do this.

21:46

Mr. Soros is a

21:48

billionaire. Pass me the

21:50

sick bucket. Shouldn't

21:53

write. Pass us off.

21:55

All the mother fucking

21:57

sick pocket. When we

22:00

come back, Paul Rodd

23:45

AC&T is bringing something

23:47

new to the table. Death

23:51

of a unicorn! Please welcome Paul

23:54

Rauch! I'm,

24:35

uh, I'm sorry, John,

24:37

I'm just, I'm on

24:40

this new medication and,

24:42

uh... My parineem is

24:45

on fire. to understand

24:48

that that was an

24:50

inflamed paranoia. At first,

24:53

if I may, the

24:55

physical crafting you do,

24:58

and obviously the stage

25:00

fighting classes you've taken,

25:03

and all the things,

25:05

the control you have

25:08

over your body, at

25:10

first I thought, sciatica?

25:13

It's clearly in the

25:15

nether region. Yeah. It

25:18

was the Boeing of

25:20

the legs. It's the

25:23

telltale giveaway of an

25:25

inflamed paranoia. I mean,

25:28

do we think it's,

25:30

can I, can I?

25:33

Do we think it's,

25:35

should I go for?

25:38

You, you go for.

25:41

Okay. We hear, we

25:43

hear perineum, and then

25:46

we, but we've also

25:48

heard perineum. I thought

25:51

you were gonna say

25:53

taint. The layman's term.

25:56

A perineum sounds like

25:58

a flower. In

26:02

many ways, isn't it?

26:04

A delicate, the bouquet,

26:06

the aroma. Did you

26:08

know in your life,

26:10

first of all, the

26:12

way you walk, it's

26:15

the difference between just

26:17

an actor and a

26:19

craftsman. You gotta play

26:21

yourself, you gotta throw

26:23

your whole body into

26:25

it. By the time

26:27

you were done, my

26:30

parentenium hurt. That's

26:32

how powerful it was. Transference,

26:34

you felt it, you felt

26:37

it. No question. That's good

26:39

acting. Or is it acting?

26:41

There is no way. Is

26:43

that the one part of

26:46

your body that is corroding?

26:48

I think, is that your

26:50

Achilles perineum? You know the

26:52

portrait of Dorian Gray? I

27:02

have a painting in

27:05

my attic. I call

27:07

it my attic. Myatica.

27:10

And that is just

27:12

a, just a, a

27:15

rotting old decrepit taint.

27:18

And, and I also

27:20

have a, where it

27:23

looks like a spaceship.

27:25

It's called the Perenium

27:28

Falcon. I

27:42

do hope you'll get that

27:44

checked out. It is, I

27:46

have wondered this. Do you

27:48

know about the, yeah, you

27:51

can't, every commercial is for

27:53

a medication. No question. Everyone

27:55

talks about the the The

27:58

thing they'd also mention, which

28:00

is in a way even

28:02

more disconcerting, because they do

28:05

it with kind of a

28:07

cheery voice. It's talking about

28:09

bloody or black stools. Is

28:11

there painting in your attic

28:14

about that? You want to

28:16

tell us about? The other

28:18

thing that drives me fish?

28:21

They always say, and don't

28:23

take it. Like, they've given

28:25

you five reasons not to

28:28

take this. I mean, you've

28:30

got to be thinking to

28:32

yourself, the exum is not

28:35

that bad, that I would

28:37

risk my entire family. Would

28:39

you rather have a little

28:41

like flaking on your arm

28:44

or say, yeah. One kid

28:46

at the beach and he's

28:48

like, on my elbow, and

28:51

they're literally like, get balls

28:53

will fall off. And don't

28:55

take it if you are

28:58

allergic to it. I didn't

29:00

even know you still did

29:02

movies. I think I might

29:04

be allergic to this. Yeah,

29:07

everything. How would you know

29:09

unless Paul? I'm gonna be

29:11

honest with you. Finally. I

29:14

didn't even know you still

29:16

did movies. I just thought...

29:18

I thought you were a

29:21

web MD doctor and I

29:23

just brought you out here

29:25

to talk strictly medicines. Medicines.

29:27

Do you have, I am

29:30

at the point now where

29:32

I like I'll read an

29:34

article on biohacking and like

29:37

and they'll be like it's

29:39

an injection of NAD and

29:41

ultraviolet rays and you can't

29:44

go outside for three months

29:46

and I'd be like I

29:48

would do that. There

29:52

is there is a

29:54

thing that like it's

29:56

so strange that there

29:58

we are so insists

30:00

on letting everyone believe they

30:02

are sick in this country.

30:04

Oh shit, you just got

30:06

real. Oh. No, but every

30:08

commercial is one of these

30:10

medicines. And my daughter, when she

30:13

was little, yeah, you just watched

30:15

TV, it was unavoidable. You

30:17

play games with your kids

30:19

of like, all right, we're gonna go

30:22

through, we'll go through A, for

30:24

like, uh, apple, banana, you know,

30:26

cherries, whatever. We used to do.

30:28

Oh, keep going. I want

30:30

to see how... I want to

30:32

see how far this is going

30:34

to go. But we used

30:36

to do it. My daughter

30:39

would be four years old

30:41

and we would do it

30:43

with medicines. She'd be like,

30:45

abilify. And I swear to

30:48

God, we could make it

30:50

through the entire alphabet. Four

30:52

years old. Normally you

30:54

skip X, but she's zel

30:57

jams. That's really true. How

30:59

many times are we going

31:01

to do Zoyverax and Zithra

31:03

Max? Yeah. Xanax didn't even

31:05

make the cuts. God, damn.

31:07

It is a very interesting, you

31:09

know, remember Annison? Good

31:11

old Annison. Right, and it

31:13

cured everything. I just remember as

31:16

a kid, I think all we

31:18

had was Annison, Buffering, Bear. They

31:20

had like aspirin commercials. Looks

31:22

like somebody lived in a

31:25

nice neighborhood. I

31:28

had St. Joseph's

31:31

Children's Asper, and

31:33

I was 17

31:36

and had Clemitia.

31:38

But, how was

31:40

your perinium? Gorgeous!

31:43

As Riana would

31:45

say, shine like a

31:48

diamond. You could eat

31:50

off of that thing.

31:52

And boy did I

31:54

try. We all tried.

31:58

Can I tell you something? I've

32:01

missed you. I've missed you too.

32:04

I haven't. I think the last

32:06

time I... I see you every

32:08

now and again at an event.

32:10

Once I moved out of the

32:12

city, once you move out of

32:14

the city, for those urban sophistication,

32:17

you are a dead man. I

32:19

live out in New Jersey and

32:21

I would say to Paul Wright.

32:23

Hold on one second. Hard disagree.

32:31

But I see you are living

32:33

now the dream that I sometimes

32:35

think of like your Kansas City

32:37

Chiefs they keep winning Super Bowls

32:39

you're out there with your son

32:41

on the field like celebrating that

32:44

thing. It's such a magic guitar.

32:46

Our kids are around the same

32:48

age. So we're all there they're

32:50

going through the thing. It's a

32:52

big transition like do you feel

32:54

the empty nest of it all

32:56

like that's that's slowly starting to

32:58

dawn on me. Yeah. Yeah, I

33:00

do. I mean, I certainly feel

33:03

older and my kids are older.

33:05

They have their own lives. I

33:07

mean, I'm sitting here, you know,

33:09

getting nostalgic about... the ability game

33:11

and so as I'm talking about

33:13

it and I see you know

33:15

people with little kids I remember

33:17

that and and I do feel

33:20

it's the whole the thing for

33:22

me when I see someone whose

33:24

kid is at that age where

33:26

you can still do like the

33:28

football hold right and you got

33:30

the coffee in one hand and

33:32

and the kid in the other

33:34

and then so the cigarette can

33:36

just dangle It's

33:40

a wild feeling when it washes

33:42

over you, but it's also nice

33:44

to, I guess, have them at

33:46

that other, like, the conversations you

33:49

can have with them so much.

33:51

Yeah. Oh, it's great. I mean,

33:53

it's, you know, you always hear

33:55

that, and that it's, oh, every

33:57

age is great, and it's true.

34:00

Right. And it's an amazing. It's

34:02

an amazing thing. I was just

34:04

in Australia, working in Australia, and

34:06

my son was on break from

34:09

school and he came to visit.

34:11

It was the first time ever

34:13

by himself. And it was- Came

34:15

to visit you in Australia? Yeah,

34:17

fantastic. It was great. Did you-

34:20

The one thing I didn't do,

34:22

and I probably should have done,

34:24

is make friends. They

34:28

have to be there. I own

34:30

them. But when they leave It's

34:33

just me eating a Jersey mics

34:35

by myself watching a game Well,

34:38

I don't know have you found

34:40

this to be the case because

34:42

I certainly have I think as

34:45

I just as I get older

34:47

my world gets smaller and as

34:49

far as friends I do have

34:52

friends, but I'm not nearly as

34:54

social as I used to be

34:56

I'm not on any actual social

34:59

media. I never have been. So

35:01

I do feel as if the

35:04

world operates in a way that

35:06

is, I'm, it's passing me by.

35:08

I, I, I, I, it's like

35:11

I sit alone with books. I

35:13

sound like a Simon and Garfunkel

35:15

song. I am a rock. This

35:18

is crazy. I'm gonna tell you,

35:20

look up for one second. I

35:22

do this every time we're together.

35:25

My life is fucking horrible. No.

35:27

Before I let you go, I

35:30

want to show the audience something.

35:32

I want everybody at home. Look

35:34

at this. Paul is older than

35:37

I am. And if I go

35:39

home right now, my guess is

35:41

somebody has ruined my taint painting.

35:44

You're tainting. You know. Talk

35:47

about an oil painting He's

35:49

got the movies death of

35:51

a unicorn. It's going to

35:53

be in theaters everywhere friendship

35:55

with Tim Robinson who may

35:58

be the funniest man. I

36:00

I laugh he's amazing amazing

36:02

Robinson. Tim Robinson and movie

36:04

friendship, which will deal with

36:06

the things that we're just

36:08

talking about. Yeah. And then

36:10

a movie about killing unicorns.

36:12

Yeah. Which we're not probably

36:14

going to talk about that

36:16

much. Fine. We didn't talk

36:18

about any of this. How

36:21

do you, when you get,

36:23

because the movie, it's wild.

36:25

And you'll love it. And

36:27

Jen Ortega's in it. And

36:29

she's great. And the cast

36:31

is insane. But I can't.

36:33

When they pitch to you,

36:35

they go, Paul, there's this

36:37

movie. We'd really love for

36:39

you to be in it.

36:41

You play a lawyer. Oh,

36:44

what does the lawyer do?

36:46

Well, he's around murderous unicorns.

36:48

And is that when you

36:50

go like, look, where? I

36:52

was in Marvel. I don't.

36:54

I get a thing that's

36:56

called Death of a unicorn.

36:58

I'm like, where do I

37:00

sign? That's the beauty of

37:02

the improv. That's it? Well,

37:05

37:07
