You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey,
0:05
what's going on, everybody. I'm Trevor Noah and
0:07
this is the Daily Social Distancing Show.
0:10
Today is Tuesday, March, which
0:13
means it's officially springtime. Baby.
0:15
Yep, that time of the year when I go outside
0:18
and enjoy that sweet fresh air despite
0:21
my allergies. Oh
0:24
no, here it comes anyway.
0:27
Coming up on tonight's show, we look at
0:29
some actual good things going on in
0:31
the world, what Hollywood gets wrong about
0:33
the female orgasm, and Eric Andre
0:36
joins us to talk about punking America in
0:38
his brand new movie, So let's do this. People.
0:40
Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show
0:45
from Trevor's couch in New York City to
0:47
your couch somewhere in the world. This
0:50
is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor
0:53
nor. Every
0:56
day on the Daily Show we cover
0:58
the News day Show,
1:01
and if you follow the news daily, you know
1:03
that most of it is bad and some days
1:06
it's even more badder. And
1:09
it's on those days that I like to remind myself
1:11
that there is a lot of good out there in the world,
1:14
and I like to share that good news in our
1:16
array of sunshine,
1:23
our first ray of Sunshine is for dogs,
1:26
creators of the world's most populous sex
1:28
position. Across the country,
1:30
there are thousands of good boys
1:32
just waiting to be adopted, and
1:34
one equally good human boy is
1:37
giving them a boost. A fourteen year
1:39
old found a way to help a lot
1:41
of shelter dogs. His name is Darius. Brownie
1:43
helps him stand out in the crowd with bow
1:46
times. Darius is so hundreds
1:48
of bow times and sent them to animal shelters
1:50
across the country looking sharp. And there
1:52
aren't just for dogs, because he makes them for cats
1:54
to there you go. He says he's donated
1:56
about six hundred bow ties for animal
1:59
shelters. Shelter workers say it helps the animals,
2:01
especially older ones, get noticed more
2:03
quickly. It's very smart. Oh
2:06
guys, A bow tie
2:08
on a dog. That's something
2:10
you don't expect, you know. It's
2:12
like shrimp tails and cinnamon toast
2:14
crunch, but adorable. And this
2:16
is a genius plan because a bow tie
2:19
just makes everything a little snazzia, you
2:21
know, dogs, people on
2:24
the bow ties. A simple bow tie
2:26
could even make like a raging douche bag SeeMe
2:28
respectable, which is, by the way, how took the
2:30
calls and got a TV show. The only problem
2:32
is you will ever know why the dog
2:35
has a bow tie on it. I mean,
2:37
is it fashion? Or did that dog
2:40
join the Nation of Islam?
2:42
Some old, nice white lady is gonna be bringing
2:44
her dog home. Like speak sparky speak
2:47
speak or what a surprise? The white
2:49
devil wants me to speak on command.
2:52
Moving on to the coronavirus vaccine.
2:55
That's the only thing on earth that's stored colder
2:57
than dipping dots. Every day more
3:00
and more people are vaccinated, but after a
3:02
year of being extremely cautious, some people
3:04
can't quite bring themselves to accept the
3:06
good news because it's been so long.
3:08
I mean, even when I smile, I'm like, oh no, my
3:11
frown turned upside down? Is that a COVID symptom?
3:14
So here's a ray of sunshine about a grandmother who was
3:16
anxious about doing what she could often getting vaccinated,
3:19
and how her doctor helped her overcome
3:21
it. Some people say the best medicine
3:23
is love for one woman in the bronx, that's
3:26
just what the doctor ordered. Take a look at this prescription.
3:29
This is what Evelyn Shaw got. It reads
3:31
you are allowed to hug your granddaughter.
3:34
It comes after both of them were fully
3:36
vaccinated, My daughter and granddaughter
3:39
came to my apartments because
3:43
they had a gift to me. To my
3:45
amazement, was a prescription
3:48
from my doctor, and she wrote,
3:51
you are allowed to hug your
3:53
granddaughter. That
3:56
hug is a hug annoyed to remember
3:59
forever. Okay,
4:03
you've gotta admit this is such a
4:05
heartwarming story. I mean, unless
4:07
we find out that that's
4:09
the doctor's treatment for everything, I'm
4:12
afraid it's lupus. So
4:14
what you're gonna need to do is go and hug this woman's
4:17
grandma right away twice
4:20
a day. Now. Yes, it is true
4:22
that the doctor was out of network, so that hug will
4:24
cost eight dollars, but I'm still happy
4:26
that this grandma got to see her family before
4:29
she files for medical bankruptcy. And actually
4:31
really shows you how much people respect the authority of doctors.
4:34
I mean, once they write a prescription, there's no
4:37
more arguing it's a prescription. Doctors
4:40
could make that work for them to ship. If
4:43
I was a doctor, I just going to a bank with my prescription
4:45
pad. Good afternoon, I have a
4:47
prescription for you here that says you need to
4:49
open the safe and hand me all the cash,
4:52
Well, I guess if it's for my health.
4:54
Now, look, until everyone can get vaccinated,
4:56
it is still important to monitor the spread
4:59
of the coronavirus so you can stop any
5:01
outbreaks before they get too far. And
5:03
now getting a coronavirus test
5:06
is going to be easier than ever. Door
5:08
Dash will soon be delivering at home COVID
5:11
tests across the United States. The delivery
5:13
apps teaming up with two health companies, Vault
5:15
Health and every Well in
5:18
twelve US market. Door Dash says
5:20
delivery of the FDA proof test kits will typically
5:22
take less than an hour, they cost us over a
5:24
hundred dollars each, and they can return results
5:27
in twenty four to eight hours.
5:29
Yes, thanks to door Dash, you
5:31
can now get a COVID test delivered right
5:33
to your home along with I'm assuming
5:35
forty packets of ketchup. And door Dash
5:37
isn't the only one helping. By the way, UBA
5:40
has started offering COVID tests
5:42
too. Yeah, if you get in
5:44
the car and you can smell weed,
5:46
you just tested negative, my friend, congrats,
5:49
And let me just remind everybody right now that
5:51
your delivery driver is not responsible
5:54
for your test results, all right,
5:56
because you know there are people out there who are gonna base
5:58
their reviews on that. What
6:01
you're telling me that I have COVID, dude,
6:04
one star, bitch, I'm not the one
6:06
who coughed on you. Moving on to a
6:08
ray of sunshine from the world of racism.
6:10
Yeah, even racism. Black people
6:13
in America have been waiting for slavery reparations
6:15
for a hundred and fifty years, and
6:17
to put that in terms of white people can understand, that's
6:19
even longer than you've been waiting for the next
6:21
Game of Thrones book. But now residents
6:24
of one city are finally getting
6:27
their first taste. The nation's
6:29
first reparations program for African
6:31
Americans was approved overnight in Illinois.
6:34
The Chicago suburb of Evanston is
6:36
moving forward with a ten million dollar plan
6:38
to address a history of discriminatory housing
6:41
practices faced by its black residents.
6:43
The first step, which passed last night, makes
6:46
four thousand dollars available for homeownership
6:48
grants and mortgage assistants. This plan
6:51
could become a model that more cities could
6:53
follow. That's right, people, Reparations
6:56
are happening. With these
6:58
housing grants, Black Americans can
7:00
finally fulfill their lifelong dreams of
7:02
gentrifying on white neighborhood. And
7:05
kudos to Evanston, Illinois, especially
7:07
since I assume whoever the Evans guy the city
7:10
was named after was a huge racist. In fact,
7:12
let me check that before I assume, get
7:14
some Wikipedia out and yep,
7:17
huge racist. Here's my thing, though, It's
7:19
great that some of the funding is going towards practical
7:21
things like aiding home ownership, but keep in mind
7:24
black people have been through a lot of ship in America
7:26
over the last four hundred years, so some
7:28
of that money should also just be to give
7:30
black people a good time, you know, help them relax,
7:33
like going to the spa or getting a facial
7:35
or buying a stress ball for whenever Kanye West tweets
7:37
something. Basically, what I'm saying is it's
7:39
not real reparations unless you give
7:41
the descendants of slavery actual money
7:44
and let them choose how they
7:46
want to spend it as if they were adults.
7:50
But still, congratulations to the black
7:52
people of Evanston, and congratulations
7:55
to all the white people who are going to find a way to game the
7:57
system. Well, my twenty three in
7:59
me says that I'm actually three
8:01
percent Africa so
8:04
and finally some uplifting animal
8:07
news. Like most of US, zoo
8:09
animals have been stressed out by
8:11
the coronavirus lockdowns, stuck
8:13
in their homes for a whole year, and they
8:16
don't even have Netflix. I mean, imagine
8:18
being a tiger and not getting to watch Tiger
8:20
King. That's the ultimate fomo. But
8:23
now a zoo in Colombia is
8:25
giving it stressed out residents a
8:27
musical treat. Columbia's Cali
8:30
Zoo hired a pianist to help relax
8:32
its animals. On Saturday, Mario
8:34
Fernando Prato came to the zoo
8:36
and played some of the most popular classical
8:39
songs for animals, ranging from Zebras
8:41
to Alliance to Flamingos. Preto
8:44
says this was certainly a different from
8:46
his usual gigs. The z said Prato
8:48
was their debut artists and hoped he
8:51
paved the way for other musical acts.
8:53
And I'm so jealous right now. Now
8:57
that is a beautiful idea,
8:59
And I'm actually sure that this was very relaxing
9:02
for all of the animals, although
9:04
you can't tell by looking at an ostrich, you know, you
9:06
can't see when that animal is relaxed. Just as one
9:09
facial expression, which is always realizing
9:11
you left your phone in a cab, and
9:16
as an added bonus for the zoo, a
9:19
piano concert is probably going to
9:21
keep all the Zebras in line.
9:25
Can you imagine them during that performance? They were looking
9:27
at those black and white keys, like, what have
9:29
they done to Jimmy? Oh?
9:31
They've cut them up and now they're making
9:33
music come out of his body. Just
9:36
because you kidnapped the Zebras from Africa and keep
9:38
them in Colombia doesn't mean they're not African
9:41
anymore. So look, I
9:43
think this was great for everyone.
9:46
I mean, the only person I feel a little bad for is
9:49
the piano player. This probably
9:51
wasn't the career that he dreamt of when
9:53
he started playing the piano. Mama,
9:56
you remember how you said I would never make it
9:59
as a musician. Oh my god?
10:01
Did you make it into the Philharmonic? What?
10:04
No wrong number? Okay, never
10:07
mind, bye bye? Now say
10:09
what you want, but this story is adorable.
10:12
And you know who loves adorable stories is
10:15
my friend Roy Withoo Junior. I want to bring him on
10:17
right now. Um,
10:19
you're right. What's going on, my dudes?
10:21
Man? What's going on? Man? I
10:24
know you love playing piano, so I wanted
10:26
to see if you heard the story of the pianist
10:29
who got a gig playing for zoo
10:31
animals. Yeah, I heard about it, trash.
10:34
I hate the story a matter of fact, I hate that dude.
10:37
But but why I thought,
10:39
of all people, you would think it's cute. I
10:41
don't like it. Travel I also auditioned
10:43
for the gig. Then they decided to go with
10:45
some guy playing mozart.
10:49
Mozart. Oh, so
10:52
you auditioned to play piano for zoo
10:54
animals? What whatnot? It's a sweet
10:56
job. You get to work outside to get free
10:58
parking, you get all the stale peanut the elephants
11:00
don't eat. And I wrote all these great
11:02
original songs for the animals with the zookeepers.
11:05
The zookeepers decided my songs
11:07
weren't appropriate. Wow, Roy,
11:10
I'm man. I'm sorry for that, brother,
11:12
like I'm sorry that they didn't like
11:14
your music. Yeah, man, it is
11:16
what it is, man, I have some good hits. Man, check
11:19
check this out. This is good songs, man, Heathing
11:24
normals. You gotta eat all
11:26
of the zoo keepers r
11:30
fucking show oppress
11:35
keepers up. Gobble, gobble,
11:37
gobble gobble.
11:40
No, Roy,
11:44
hold on, hold on, hold on, that's
11:47
that's what you were singing. You can't you can't sing
11:49
that. You can't be telling the animals to eat the zookeepers.
11:51
Now, that's that's promoting violence. But no, dude,
11:54
that the words I haven't singing is just nonsense. I'm just
11:56
I can say them worries for rhythm. You know the animals can't
11:58
understand English. Well, actually that's that's
12:00
a good point. It's not like you're like telling
12:02
them. Yeah, no, play on, my
12:05
bad man, my bad bad. Where
12:07
was that? What was that? Man? Come
12:09
on, I
12:11
know you understand me. I've
12:15
been teaching you in secret for several
12:18
months. There's a weak part of the
12:21
fence next to the gay
12:24
break it down and new monkey
12:26
on the rest. Okay,
12:34
Roy, chumping, that's the line chomping. Yeah,
12:36
I think that's part of the problem that Roy, You see you,
12:39
I understand that zoos have ethical problems, But you
12:41
can't be you can't be telling the lines
12:43
to go and eat people. Like, why are you even
12:46
doing? What are you planning? Planning? Don't
12:48
be so paranoid, Trevor, It's just music.
12:51
He then lies, let's
12:55
school eat what
12:58
am I doing on your back? Then I'll
13:00
take you to his house and
13:02
you can eat everyone except
13:05
me, and I'll be the
13:07
geer lie and means
13:10
unless you eat me too, that
13:13
would not be nice. But that's
13:15
a problem for leader. I'm
13:21
glad they didn't take your songs of the Zoo man. You
13:25
know why because your
13:27
song is a ship. That's why told
13:29
about gobbling me and eating me as well as all
13:31
of your music is trash. That's
13:33
cruel, bro, and I could
13:36
get mad about it, but you know what, I've
13:38
been working on myself. I'm willing
13:40
to bury to hatch it. So let's talk about
13:42
it tomorrow. Meet me at noon at
13:44
the Zoo. What No, I'm not gonna meet you
13:46
at this I know what you're planning. Roy. You want me to come
13:48
to the zoo so I can sing these songs with you.
13:50
I'm not stupid, Roy, Get out of here. Roy
13:53
with Junior everybody. He's not gonna get
13:55
me that easy. All right, we're gonna take a short
13:57
break. But first, if your college basketball
14:00
is as busted as everyone else's is, it's
14:02
not too late to go all the way in the
14:04
daily shows brackets of bullshit,
14:07
where you can vote for the little things that have annoyed
14:09
you the most during the pandemic, because
14:11
I know it's been a legitimately terrible year, but
14:14
let's be honest, there hasn't been a lot of trivial
14:16
problems that we didn't need on top of the really
14:18
bad stuff, you know, like celebrities singing
14:20
imagine or emails that start
14:22
with in these difficult times so
14:25
annoying. I think that one could
14:27
actually go all the way. Round two is open
14:29
now, so go to Daily Show Bracket dot com
14:31
and make your picks. When we come
14:34
back, Daisi Ling takes a look at the history
14:36
of the female orgasm in movies.
14:40
You don't want to miss it. Welcome
14:43
back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. March,
14:46
as you know, is Women's History Month, and
14:48
to celebrate we turn to Daisielde, where
14:50
she doesn't explore his story but
14:53
his hurry.
15:01
It's no secret that women's on screen
15:04
portrayals have evolved throughout history.
15:06
We've gone from playing secretaries being
15:08
saved by James Bond all the way
15:10
to nuclear scientists being saved
15:13
by James Bond. But I want to focus
15:15
on one specific aspect of female
15:17
depictions, the orgasm.
15:20
It's when a woman is stimulated to
15:22
the point of climax, causing a physical and neurological
15:25
response that scientists referred to as
15:27
fantastic, and over the years,
15:29
depicting female pleasure on screen is
15:31
something that's changed more than the batteries
15:34
in your vibrator. The first known
15:36
female orgasm on the silver screen
15:38
was in the nineteen thirty three German film
15:40
Ecstasy, when Hetty Lamar took
15:43
the broad Worst Express all the
15:45
way to pleasure Burgh. Turns out
15:47
the world wasn't ready for this. Everyone
15:49
denounced it, from Hitler to the Pope,
15:52
And if you ask me, the Pope has no place weighing
15:54
in on sex scenes. He's celibate. I mean,
15:56
when we need your opinion on the best stayin removers
15:58
for white fabrics, then we'll call you. Unfortunately,
16:01
being the first actress to climax on screen
16:03
followed Hetty Lamar for the rest of her
16:05
career, she was typecast as the
16:08
seductress, even though she was literally the
16:10
smartest person in Hollywood. Yeah.
16:12
As her side hustle, she was a brilliant
16:14
scientist who invented the basis for all
16:16
modern wireless technology.
16:18
Without her, no one would be orgasming
16:20
because we wouldn't be able to watch porn on our cell phones
16:23
in the bathroom. And that was the last
16:25
big on screen female orgasm
16:27
for a while, because around the same time the
16:29
Hayze Code was enforced in Hollywood. This
16:32
was a set of censorship guidelines that banned
16:34
movies from explicitly showing or discussing
16:36
sex. Even married couples had
16:38
to be shown in separate beds, or as
16:40
it's now called, the reverse chocolate
16:42
factory before you bedridden.
16:45
For the past twenty years, it takes a lot of work to
16:47
keep this family going. No one was
16:49
getting off. The Hayes Code finally ended
16:51
in the late sixties, which, as timing
16:53
goes, is like having your dry January
16:55
and at an open bar in Cabo America
16:58
was embarking on a actual revolution,
17:01
so female pleasure came back on screen. Unfortunately,
17:04
it was often treated as a novelty that
17:06
existed for men's amusements, So you've got scenes
17:09
like the one in nineteen Barbara
17:11
Ella where evil doctor eyebrows
17:13
over here traps Jane Fonda and a machine
17:15
that's supposed to give her orgasms until she
17:17
dies, except that she climax is
17:20
so hard she breaks the machine
17:23
goodness. At the time, it was
17:25
considered a camp be sexy thing,
17:27
but looking at it now, it's a violation.
17:30
Remember, everyone, if you're going to put a woman
17:32
in a machine that orgasms her to death, unique
17:34
consent first. Another major moment
17:37
came a few years later with the movie Deep Throat.
17:39
It tells the story of a woman who keeps giving
17:42
men oral sex because her pleasure zone
17:44
is in her throat. That is
17:46
not how it works. But Deep
17:48
Throat became the first porno film to go mainstream
17:51
and inspired both my uncles to become Dennis
17:54
the female orgasms and Barbararella and Deep
17:56
Throat were basically male fantasies
17:58
about how women experience pleasure, so
18:00
it was appropriate that the next on screen
18:03
orgasm to make a splash totally debunked
18:05
those fantasies. Nine,
18:07
When Harry Met Sally famously includes
18:09
an extended scene of Meg Ryan faking
18:11
an orgasm in a Delhi to prove to Billy
18:14
Crystal that maybe he wasn't the
18:16
cunnelingest king that he thought he was. Oh
18:19
yes, yes, yes
18:22
oh. This
18:24
scene was groundbreaking for a few
18:26
reasons. It told all the women watching
18:29
who had faked orgasms that they weren't alone.
18:31
It taught men to try to be attentive to their
18:33
partner's needs, and it catapulted pastronomy
18:36
to become the top aphrodisiac of nineteen
18:38
eighty nine. It also started a conversation
18:41
about the performative nature of the female
18:43
orgasm. Women face far
18:45
too much pressure to satisfy their partner's
18:47
ego instead of themselves. I mean, no
18:49
one ever has to fake it for their vibrator. If
18:51
they don't get the job done, they just go back into the drawer
18:54
and they think about what they did. In
18:58
the years that followed, female pleasure
19:00
became more and more common on screen,
19:02
but they were still often treated as punchlines,
19:04
like Jennifer Aniston getting unexpected
19:07
magic him Maxes includes Almighty,
19:09
or Katherine Hygel accidentally orgasm
19:11
me at dinner when a little boy grabbed her remote
19:14
controlled vibrating underwear. Okay,
19:16
there is so much wrong with this. It's
19:19
non consensual, it's a kid doing
19:21
it, and it perpetuates the dangerous myth
19:23
that vibrating underwear gives you anything
19:25
but a five alarm electrical bird. And
19:28
even when orgasms weren't meant to be funny,
19:30
it could be hard to take them seriously, like
19:33
in Forty Days and Forty Nights when Josh Hartnett
19:35
makes his partner orgasm by caressing
19:37
her with flowers, which, believe
19:40
me, is not that easy. Not
19:42
to be a size queen, but we're gonna
19:44
have to use at least a sunflower. The
19:46
odds weren't a step forward for orgasms,
19:49
but they weren't a step back either. They
19:51
still needed to step a little
19:53
to the side, now the other side,
19:56
then back and forth. Yeah,
19:59
right there. Thankfully,
20:02
in the present day, we're starting to see much more
20:04
realistic and positive depictions of
20:06
women pop in their Turkey timers. These
20:09
days, you can hardly turn your TV on without
20:11
seeing a woman getting off. And finally,
20:13
movies and shows are doing this through the female
20:16
gaze. And if you don't know what that would
20:18
look like, then you haven't seen Bridgertain.
20:21
It's a show about nineteenth century British
20:23
society taking care of their little
20:25
women. She's a Beth in the streets,
20:27
but a Joe in the sheets. Thanks
20:30
to Bridgertain, there haven't been this many female
20:33
orgasms since well since
20:35
everyone started watching Bridgertain. So
20:38
that's the history on the female orgasm
20:40
on screen, and who knows what the future holds,
20:42
but it is important because the way
20:44
women are portrayed on screen holds
20:46
a mirror up to how they're treated in real life.
20:49
And as all women know, sometimes
20:51
holding up a mirror to something is the only
20:53
way to get a good look and figure
20:56
out how it works. Thank
20:58
you so much, DISSI All right, when we back, the hilarious
21:01
Eric Andre will be joining me on the show,
21:03
so don't go away. Welcome
21:06
back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Only
21:09
esterday I spoke with comedian and actor
21:11
Eric Andre. We talked about going from
21:13
punking celebrities on his adult swim talk
21:16
show to punking regular people
21:18
in his brand new film Bad Trip. Eric
21:21
Andre, Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing
21:23
Show. My man Trevor
21:26
Noah in the house.
21:31
Wait, can I can I tell you something? Do you know that
21:33
Alex Jones might
21:36
have gotten us confused?
21:38
Now? You're much more handsome than me, so I don't want to left
21:40
handed insult you. But Alex Jones,
21:43
when I prayed him one time,
21:46
right at the Republican National Convention,
21:49
he kept saying, got the Daily Show
21:51
guy up here, Bring the Daily up
21:53
there? And I was like, which
21:55
guy Wyatt Snach Trevor,
21:58
who is he? I don't know who he thought
22:00
I was. Yeah, no, I'm yeah,
22:03
Now I could get I would be like, yeah, you know if
22:05
we ran around the RNC, and
22:07
then I'd be like, I would even give people that. I would
22:09
go like, yes, I would use
22:11
you to get away from a crime right now, That's what I'm saying.
22:14
So if like, if something happened, I would go,
22:17
well, what if it was him? And like I would
22:19
you know that dramatic scene in the movie where the
22:21
people go you sure it was him? I'm sure.
22:23
Then you're like, well, there he is, and then you stand
22:25
up in the courtroom and the person's like, oh, it's that person.
22:28
That's what I would do. I could do that right now. Yeah.
22:30
I wouldn't blame you. Yes, you've
22:32
been you've been in lockdown for a while. There's
22:35
this few people I worry about more than
22:37
you, because I feel like Eric
22:39
Andre is like the guy of things happening
22:42
always. Are you like, has
22:44
this has this thing made you go crazy? Or are
22:47
you coping with the with the lockdowns. I've
22:49
definitely drank way more
22:52
in the last year than I ever have
22:54
in my life. I'm talking like Jack Carroll
22:57
Wack Charles Bluekowski level
22:59
of alcohol. I built
23:01
a bar in my house. I'm losing my
23:03
mind, but I
23:06
feel great because
23:10
I'm drunk by like two
23:13
pm every day. So you
23:15
know, I was just in
23:17
that zone. I mean that zone. Man,
23:19
I'm just crushing up, biking in and making pina
23:22
coladas. I never know how much of
23:24
this is like you being like you know, like
23:26
eric Andre is the one person where I feel like you
23:29
may be in a situation one day when you need someone's
23:31
help, but they wouldn't know if you're
23:33
being eric Andre. Eric Andre needs help.
23:35
I know. It's like where does the stick
23:38
end and the man begin kind
23:41
of thing. Yeah, and you know what, I just remember, my
23:43
mom is going to watch this. Um, so
23:46
Mom, I'm not I'm not drinking as
23:48
as much as I just told Trevor
23:50
I was drinking. I'm drinking
23:53
u V eight. Okay,
23:56
I just added my mom is a super fan.
23:59
Well, Hi, hi mom, Hi mom
24:02
um, My mom is very
24:04
attracted to you. By the way, my mom and
24:06
my sister, they would
24:08
rip your clothes off in a second. You wouldn't know
24:10
what hit you. Oh wow, I wouldn't know
24:12
what hit me. To be honest, I ever
24:15
said that to me before my mom and
24:17
my sister would do I wouldn't know what hit me. Well,
24:21
for some reason, the generational jumps adds
24:23
to the to the confusion. For me. You
24:25
could get into a very weird
24:27
porno at the Andre residence if
24:30
you wanted to. I'm just putting that out
24:32
there. Offer is on the table.
24:35
Put it out there. Let's talk about the movie
24:37
eric Um Bad
24:40
Trip. This movie. Yeah,
24:42
I mean, people have been waiting forever for this movie.
24:45
You know, it's been It was pushed back like three times
24:47
because of the pandemic. I think even
24:49
Amazon leaked it by mistake on
24:51
Prime and then had to pull it back. And then it
24:53
felt like the whole thing was a prank. And then I
24:56
found out that the movie was a movie,
24:58
but it's also like a like a hidden camera frank
25:00
because there's real people in the movie. But then you've
25:03
got like a narrative going. It's an actual story, which
25:05
is very good. By the way. At first I was like, oh, this is just Eric
25:07
messing around, but it's actually like a good story.
25:10
And then you're pranking real people. Surely
25:12
that's harder to make them just a normal movie. It's
25:15
incredibly hard because not only are
25:17
you not only were we pranking the
25:19
people, but we were getting plot
25:22
from the people were pranking. We're relying
25:24
on them for exposition to lead
25:26
us into the next scene. So I'd have
25:28
to like prank somebody and then talk
25:31
to them for like an hour and a half just
25:33
to like squeeze two lines of
25:35
dialogue out of them to get to the next
25:37
scene. So it was no small feat.
25:39
But yes, it is a narrative, hitting
25:41
camera prank movie with
25:44
myself and Tiffany Haddish and little Rahbry.
25:47
Yes. Something I've always want to know when you're making these kinds of movies
25:51
when when you prank the people, they have to agree
25:53
to be put on screen off like they have to
25:55
sign a release or something after after
25:58
you Yeah, But then like, why do people because
26:00
a lot of the people in the movie don't look the
26:03
best, right, why would
26:05
they say yes? Um, they don't
26:07
always say yes. You will see some blurrs in
26:09
the movie, but uh, they
26:11
say. You know what's funny, The
26:14
people that are the angriest when
26:16
you prank them are usually
26:18
the most relieved to find
26:20
out it's a prank and have the
26:23
best sense of humor, Like this guy pulled
26:25
a knife out on rel and I and
26:27
then once we revealed that it
26:29
was just a prank, he was like, ah,
26:31
man, y'all are hilarious.
26:34
Yeah, signed the release, no problem.
26:36
So I don't
26:38
know, it's insane. It's insane. I don't know. Um,
26:41
you'd be surprised. You can really and
26:43
getting the releases signed, it's an act of seduction.
26:47
You really got it. We got it down to a science. Yeah,
26:50
okay, So I get, like, I get on your side. I
26:52
get it, like you, this is you. I mean
26:54
you, You've You've hosted a TV show where
26:56
you've naked and destroyed your desk.
26:58
You've hosted a TV show with this like five as in the studio
27:00
you Eric andre I get how on
27:03
earth is little Ll apart of this thing? Because
27:05
I know Roll, he's like he's like acting
27:07
and he's he's he's a funny, serious guy. But I don't
27:09
see him putting himself in danger though. Yeah
27:12
you know he His very
27:14
first frank that
27:16
he filmed was the one where, um,
27:19
the guy pulled the knife out on us. So we
27:21
did this prank. Where are you know our characters,
27:25
our penises get stuck in a Chinese finger
27:27
trap. And we
27:29
went to this like really hood barbershop
27:31
in Atlanta and we asked this real barber
27:34
who was cutting the guys there for sisters
27:36
were like, excuse me, sir, were stuck
27:38
at the Chinese finger trap? Did you've got us out
27:40
of this thing? And the guy went into
27:42
like a murder rage because we're
27:44
like stretching the penis is back and forth.
27:47
He grabbed, he tried to get his gun, he
27:49
grabbed and grabbed a knife, chased
27:52
this out, tried to stab us, and we could barely run
27:54
in the contraption. And that's
27:57
Rell. That was not only the first day of production,
27:59
but that was the first time Rel ever shot
28:01
at hitting camera prank in his life, and
28:04
he almost died. So he quit. He quit day
28:06
one, and then he called
28:08
Tiffany Hattock, who wasn't even in the movie at the
28:10
time, just to vent like, Eric's
28:12
gonna get me killed. I'm doing this hitting camera prank
28:15
movie. I almost lost my life. And
28:17
then she thought that was so funny
28:19
that she called me afterwards and
28:22
was like, Yo, you almost got Rell killed. I
28:24
want to be in your movie. I live for that. So
28:29
in a weird way, that was how we got the cast
28:32
together. I mean, that's one
28:34
way to get a cost together. I
28:36
almost killed someone, and that's really how I got
28:39
George Clooney on this film.
28:41
It was really crucial. Uh. And
28:43
in doing that um where
28:46
you from him, you think you want to make more
28:48
of these movies because I enjoyed it. I
28:50
was. I was surprised, as like, this is this is actually
28:53
fun? Thanks man. It's
28:55
like it's much longer
28:57
than your normal eleven minute episode. But I was like,
28:59
this is this could be a thing. This
29:01
could be like a running you know, you should do
29:03
it in other countries as well. Sure,
29:05
let's go to South Africa. They'll kill
29:08
you. You
29:11
think you can't. Are
29:13
you tell me there's there's violence in South
29:15
African You can't let me tell you something, Eric
29:17
Andrey. All these things you do with Americans,
29:20
South Africans will kill you. And then someone will go
29:22
to was a prank and they'll be like, ah,
29:25
that was funny, Well you're
29:27
dead now. I'm sorry
29:29
When you were doing your penis thing in my face, I
29:31
didn't know it was a prank and I'm sorry. Some South
29:34
Africans might even be like, we'll kill you, even though
29:36
we know it's a prank. They'll be like, yeah,
29:39
well then that would make for great content. We
29:41
gotta get down there, grabbed the
29:43
cameras off
29:46
to Johannesburg. We
29:48
only get the film one scene because I die.
29:50
It'll be a three minute movie. But uh
29:53
yeah no, I would love to keep making more of this
29:55
stuff. Yeah, totally. I hope you do, and
29:59
don't do it in so that because you'll die, and also because
30:01
people will think I'm the one doing it, and
30:03
then it will be a whole thing where like
30:05
people be like we saw Trevor Nowha in South Africa
30:07
running around with this preious sooner Chinese finger
30:10
trap. I don't need that in my life, or
30:14
do you? You never know, Eric
30:18
Man, thank you so much for joining me on the show. Congratulations
30:20
