Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's America's.
Speaker 3: Only sources for news.
Speaker 4: This is The Daily Show with your host dool say Foon.
Speaker 4: What about friends of the Daily Shown. We've got so
Speaker 4: much to talk about tonight.
Speaker 2: Trump's got himself a real New York jewelry, red lobsters
Speaker 2: in trouble Girl.
Speaker 4: And the newest Olympic sport is goyn ecology.
Speaker 3: So let's get to that line.
Speaker 2: Let's begin let's sports, all right, it's now just one
Speaker 2: hundred days into the Summer Olympics. When we find out
Speaker 2: which are the world's athletes, is most like a dolphin?
Speaker 2: So yesterday Nike unveiled the new Team USA uniforms, and
Speaker 2: one of the options for women's track and field is
Speaker 2: getting a lot of attention. Oh is this not getting
Speaker 2: your attention? Zoom in, zoomn right, we got your attention.
Speaker 1: Now look at this.
Speaker 2: That doesn't even come into a mannequin's pussy and she
Speaker 2: ain't even got one. This outfit should not be for
Speaker 2: Team USA, Team Brazilian atsolutely and what.
Speaker 4: Is the point of this?
Speaker 2: Are they trying to distract the other competitors folks just
Speaker 2: slamming in the hurdles like, oh, I forgot to jump.
Speaker 4: I was looking at that vagina. Don't nobody want to
Speaker 4: see this. What we want to see is that man
Speaker 4: from Tonga put it up.
Speaker 1: I miss you.
Speaker 2: In other sports news, NBA player John tay Porter recently
Speaker 2: got caught gambling on his own team and even faking
Speaker 2: injuries to influence bets, and today the NBA banned him
Speaker 2: for life. It's the harshest punishment the NBA can hand down,
Speaker 2: besides making you play for the Detroit Pistons. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess it's easier to fake an injury than to
Speaker 2: play better, but still, fixing games is an unacceptable thing.
Speaker 4: For an NBA player to do.
Speaker 2: Now if it was the WNBA, I mean, listen, they
Speaker 2: are underpaid.
Speaker 4: You need a side hustle. You gotta do what you
Speaker 4: gotta do with this.
Speaker 2: Now, moving on, if you're going on a bad anniversary dinner.
Speaker 1: I got some news for you.
Speaker 2: Read Lobster is considering filing for bankruptcy, which is ironic
Speaker 2: because every customer in Red Lobster is already broke.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: The report says it's because of expensive leases and labor costs.
Speaker 2: But you know who I blame.
Speaker 5: Men.
Speaker 2: That's right, y'all aren't living up to Beyoncey standards. Y'all
Speaker 2: not your woman good enough to earn that trip to
Speaker 2: Red Lobster.
Speaker 4: That's what happened. Your dick game is weak and now
Speaker 4: an entire restaurant chain is going under.
Speaker 2: Should be ashamed of yourselves. But this doesn't affect me though.
Speaker 2: I get my seafood from the tank set an aquarium.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 2: See, I'm dating this guy who gets into school again
Speaker 2: and cleans the glass.
Speaker 4: He brings me the best up. Have you ever had
Speaker 4: a luga?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: Ooh, it's delicious.
Speaker 2: But let's move on to the big story, the trial
Speaker 2: of Donald cell Block Jay Trump and another edition of
Speaker 2: America's Most tremendously Wanted.
Speaker 4: The whole thing is a scam.
Speaker 2: The courthouse is on break today, you know, because it's Wednesday.
Speaker 2: So when they let out yesterday, Trump celebrated with a
Speaker 2: little tour of New York's hotspots.
Speaker 4: New York City may be heavily democratic, but former President
Speaker 4: Trump campaigns there anyway. Tuesday, visiting a bodega after.
Speaker 7: Jury selection in his Manhattan hush money trial wrapped up.
Speaker 4: For the day, movie star.
Speaker 8: It's going to be a movie star.
Speaker 5: Huh you.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Donald Trump?
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell an immigrant father that his son should
Speaker 2: get into acting?
Speaker 4: What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: As soon as you leave, the dad is gonna be like,
Speaker 2: don't you listen to that crazy man? You're taking a
Speaker 2: store over when I die. By the way, if you're
Speaker 2: from New York, you know it killed all those guys.
Speaker 2: Have Trump standing there in the store wasting everyone's time.
Speaker 2: That owner was two seconds from being like, hey, Donald,
Speaker 2: buy something.
Speaker 4: I get the fuck out now, I will say.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm surprised Trump didn't hit up the lotto
Speaker 2: machine while he was there. Dude, owes over five hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars in fines. Can you imagine owing so much
Speaker 2: money that you have to.
Speaker 4: Hit Powerball just to get back to zero.
Speaker 2: Now, as for the actual trial, this week is all
Speaker 2: about picking a jury. And it might seem impossible to
Speaker 2: find twelve New Yorkers with an unbiased opinion of Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: but they're actually making some progress.
Speaker 9: This morning, seven jurors are sworn in to hear the
Speaker 9: historic criminal case against Donald Trump. So far, there are
Speaker 9: three women and four men. The Foeman's originally from Ireland
Speaker 9: and still has the accent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he better still have the accent. What's the
Speaker 2: point of telling me he's from Ireland if he doesn't
Speaker 2: have the accent. An irishman with no accent is just
Speaker 2: a white dude in America.
Speaker 4: It's funny how.
Speaker 2: The news can only point out someone's accent if they're white.
Speaker 2: You can be sure wolf Blitzer is never gonna be
Speaker 2: like he's originally from China and he still got the accent.
Speaker 4: No, wolf Blitzer, you're gonna get cancer. Friend, cancel and.
Speaker 2: Look, if you're gonna be found guilty, you want to
Speaker 2: hear it in an Irish accent.
Speaker 4: It's so pleasant and charming.
Speaker 2: He's like, looks like you're training in a pedigatus for
Speaker 2: some toilet wine.
Speaker 4: Me like, I don't know why we look for me
Speaker 4: to do an Irish accent. It sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Aside from Patty McGee, who else is on this jury.
Speaker 10: It's an interesting cross section of the kind of people
Speaker 10: in Manhattan.
Speaker 8: The jury of Donald Trump's peers.
Speaker 9: There's an oncology nurse who said no one is above
Speaker 9: the law. A teacher from a family of police officers
Speaker 9: said President Trump speaks his mind grandfather from Puerto Rico,
Speaker 9: who called Trump fascinating and mysterious.
Speaker 4: Fascinating and mysterious.
Speaker 2: He's got a chanel fragrance, and this dude is the
Speaker 2: least mysterious person in life. He tells us everything he's thinking.
Speaker 2: I know the names of all the people he's at
Speaker 2: sex with. I heard the details of what his penis
Speaker 2: looks like like.
Speaker 4: The only mysterious thing about.
Speaker 2: Him is what animal they made his wig out of.
Speaker 2: For more on the jury selection, let's go live to
Speaker 2: the courthouse with Josh John.
Speaker 1: Say, so, Josh, what's the rest.
Speaker 4: Of the jury gonna look like?
Speaker 7: Well, ideally they'll end up with a jury that represents
Speaker 7: New York and they already have a nurse, a teacher,
Speaker 7: and a Puerto Rican So now they just need a
Speaker 7: white woman who calls herself a witch and feels bad
Speaker 7: about gentrifying but definitely isn't moving. I'm told they're also
Speaker 7: looking for a subway masturbator and someone with a history,
Speaker 7: someone with a history of being stabbed or stabbing, and
Speaker 7: to represent the views of Staten Island, they're looking for
Speaker 7: firemen or a.
Speaker 4: Racist rais is a guess who ideally.
Speaker 7: Everybody, And of course they're definitely going to want a
Speaker 7: young black man who's nicely dressed, non threatening and standing
Speaker 7: outside the courthouse right now.
Speaker 4: Josh, are you trying to get them the jury?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: I mean, if I'm called upon, that's my civic duty
Speaker 7: to sure. Yes, yes, yes, I want to be on
Speaker 7: the jury.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Josh, Why no one wants jury duty.
Speaker 4: The only people who don't.
Speaker 2: Get out of jeury jewy are the ones who are
Speaker 2: stupid or hate their families.
Speaker 7: Jokes on you will say I don't have a family
Speaker 7: or stupid, Yo, what Look, the point is in this economy.
Speaker 7: The point is in this economy you need steady work,
Speaker 7: and being on a Trump trial is the steadiest work.
Speaker 7: This gig could last met for decades.
Speaker 2: It's forty dollars a day. You can't make a living
Speaker 2: off that.
Speaker 7: That's because you're not factoring in the potential bride money.
Speaker 7: I'm not leaving anything on the table. Look, look, Trump,
Speaker 7: are you looking? Look Trump, I'm talking to you. Trump.
Speaker 7: Look now, hey boy, boy boy, look look at the TV. Now,
Speaker 7: for four hundred dollars, you walk free. For four point fifty,
Speaker 7: I'll put Stormy Daniels in jail. Okay, I don't even
Speaker 7: know if I can do that, but I'm gonna try.
Speaker 7: As long as I can walk out of that courtroom
Speaker 7: with a check and a mink coat.
Speaker 2: You can't pull off a meat coat. You're gonna look
Speaker 2: like a pre Pewbethan kat Williams. So you don't care
Speaker 2: about this trial. You just want to be on the
Speaker 2: jury for selfish reasons.
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously this thing's a cash cow. All these jurors
Speaker 7: are gonna get book deals, daytime TV appearances. At least
Speaker 7: one of them is gonna be on the mass singer
Speaker 7: and I think I have what it takes to be
Speaker 7: a sexy wombat.
Speaker 4: It's not easy money.
Speaker 2: Being part of a high profile trial is exhausting.
Speaker 7: Not this one. I can nap whenever Trump is napping.
Speaker 7: I'll dip my head when he dips his head. I'll
Speaker 7: bop up when he bops up. As long as we
Speaker 7: snore in rhythm, nobody will notice.
Speaker 2: Josh be serious. The leading presidential candidate is on trial.
Speaker 2: Isn't there a chance that he might finally face justice?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: Thanks justice?
Speaker 3: And yet I said, Josh dropping everybody.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll drink wine. Some don't call it.
Speaker 4: Welcome mess to the Daily Show. Let's talk about wine.
Speaker 2: You might think that it's mostly for white people, but
Speaker 2: once again you're wrong.
Speaker 4: I went to a far off land to show you why.
Speaker 2: I have been watching white people drink wine and pretending
Speaker 2: to know what the hell of tanning is for decades.
Speaker 2: But they're not the only ones who want to get
Speaker 2: wine drunk on a weekday and call it a book club. Luckily,
Speaker 2: there are black owned businesses who are kicking in the
Speaker 2: trailers on this exclusive industry.
Speaker 3: So look in the wine country.
Speaker 2: I was going in shit to learn more about shattering
Speaker 2: the wineglass ceiling. I met up with Chuck and Latanya Island,
Speaker 2: owners of Pop the Cork Wine Tours, a black owned
Speaker 2: company that guide spokes from Atlanta straight to wine town.
Speaker 4: So how did y'all get into doing wine tours?
Speaker 5: Did you just wake up? One? Dango? O?
Speaker 4: I love one. I wish I could have other people
Speaker 4: come with me and drink it anywhere we travel.
Speaker 11: First thing I want to know is where is wine
Speaker 11: country and where are the spas? So when we came
Speaker 11: here and I started asking around where's wine country? We
Speaker 11: stumbled up on all of these wineries.
Speaker 5: Here, but nobody in Atlanta knew about the wineryes.
Speaker 2: He didn't know open this northern tier that was about
Speaker 2: thirty eight to forty wineries.
Speaker 5: What from grapes? Yes?
Speaker 2: Are there a lot of other black people doing wine tours.
Speaker 11: We were one of the first. The last I'd say
Speaker 11: three to four years, it has started to really explode.
Speaker 2: So it's getting a little bit more colorful, like to SI.
Speaker 4: The clientele has changing it.
Speaker 2: Yes, were there any people that came up to do
Speaker 2: a tour with y'all and were like.
Speaker 4: Hey, hello, why do we get the car.
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: I gotta get something off my chest. I'm very excited
Speaker 2: to support black businesses. But I do have a confession.
Speaker 4: I don't like wine. I've never liked wine. Why do
Speaker 4: I want to drink grape juice?
Speaker 2: You have taken the sugar out of grape juice that
Speaker 2: you have made dance on a pole.
Speaker 5: That's the reason for wine tours. We take you out
Speaker 5: to sample wine to learn how to drink it.
Speaker 4: And how to properly taste the wine. But I've had
Speaker 4: a ton my whole life.
Speaker 5: But we're gonna like open up correctly.
Speaker 4: He listen, y'all are a nice couple. You're not gonna
Speaker 4: show them how to use my tongue. Okay, Wow, people
Speaker 4: have a wine country moved fast.
Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna try out some of this stuff
Speaker 2: on myself.
Speaker 4: Our first one is a sharp knack.
Speaker 7: This is gonna be a real treat for you.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: This one pair is very well with shrimp and grits.
Speaker 5: And with that shrimp and grits you have shard and knee.
Speaker 7: We just can give you a little taste.
Speaker 5: This actually opens that wine up for the bouquet inside
Speaker 5: the glass. Now smell it here. You want to take
Speaker 5: a little bit in your mouth. You want to add
Speaker 5: action by sucking it up through that. I'll show you.
Speaker 4: I'm like a man telling me a slurp.
Speaker 5: Takes a little smoother, I guess. So it takes a
Speaker 5: little getting used to.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it takes some getting used to.
Speaker 5: Chuck chuck, no ship sick.
Speaker 2: Okay, So slow drinking does not come naturally to me.
Speaker 2: When do we get to the food park.
Speaker 11: When you're growing up in Italy, you pair your wine
Speaker 11: with the food. This pear is very well with cheese.
Speaker 4: Cheese, Air out this cheese.
Speaker 1: Did you hear it?
Speaker 5: Now? Hit your wine again, I stood, don't like it.
Speaker 4: What's the heck? Damn, this one's driving my legs on
Speaker 4: a winter d Well. We're gonna get something sweet.
Speaker 11: So this is wine infused with chocolate. You just need
Speaker 11: a little bit, you know, after your dinner, just like
Speaker 11: an apple teeth.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 4: They because I yell like this, don't mean I don't
Speaker 4: know shit.
Speaker 11: Do you like it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Because it's sweet? We are fast. Okay.
Speaker 2: So I didn't succeed in expanding my palate, but at
Speaker 2: least I support the black owned business. Besides, you got
Speaker 2: em brains what you like, and I like chocolate wine.
Speaker 4: To check the wine to chocolate wine. It's great to
Speaker 4: know the wine towards are getting more diverse, But what
Speaker 4: about the people actually.
Speaker 1: Growing the grapes?
Speaker 4: Are they black wineries in the area?
Speaker 11: So there are not. When we look at the whole country,
Speaker 11: there's about eleven thousand plus wineries across the country. Just
Speaker 11: about one percent are black owned.
Speaker 4: Damn only one percent.
Speaker 2: That gives me an idea. I gotta open up my
Speaker 2: own black owned venue. Wouldn't that make white as sweet
Speaker 2: as me? Introducing a new glench straight out of duel, says.
Speaker 4: The chocolate wine appairs perfectly with a chocolate man. Could
Speaker 4: you taste guide you down a sugary river of nu
Speaker 4: duel sat wine? Up, we ain't got none of that
Speaker 4: draw shit.
Speaker 2: When we come back, Orlando Bloom, we're we joining me
Speaker 2: on the show, so don't bowway.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is.
Speaker 2: An actor and adventure enthusiast who has a new limited
Speaker 2: docu series called Orlando Blow Them to the Edge.
Speaker 3: Please welcome Orlando Blue.
Speaker 10: Hi everyone, that's a nice that's a nice warm response.
Speaker 5: Hi everyone, Oh.
Speaker 4: You got interviewed before. I don't act like you've never had.
Speaker 8: A million people like.
Speaker 4: You haven't been hacked in as long as most of
Speaker 4: you people have been alive.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I just saw you jumping out of a plate,
Speaker 2: out of a plan, out of out of a plane.
Speaker 2: You know you need your face for work, right, Orlando.
Speaker 2: Mister Orlando Bloom? Why are you jumping down the plane
Speaker 2: with a batsuit on.
Speaker 5: With auit but a bad suit on?
Speaker 4: Flying squirrel?
Speaker 8: The flying squirrel?
Speaker 2: You got your jumping out planes like flying squirrels with
Speaker 2: a parachute wiffering?
Speaker 10: Well, because I didn't get any takes on me doing
Speaker 10: like a longevity show where or we get to like,
Speaker 10: you know, meet people who live.
Speaker 8: Long and prosper I kind of had that idea. It
Speaker 8: was like it was.
Speaker 10: COVID when like I felt really the palpable level of
Speaker 10: fear around me. I don't know about you, but I
Speaker 10: was like, if I get out of this, I want
Speaker 10: to do something that shows how people live in such
Speaker 10: a way that they could survive this, right, But like
Speaker 10: I said, nobody bit on that.
Speaker 8: But they said, how about we throw you out of
Speaker 8: a plane.
Speaker 10: How about we throw you to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 8: And upper mountain. So I was like, okay, that works.
Speaker 2: So you came up with an idea during the roney
Speaker 2: as if you like to call it, where we were
Speaker 2: in a panasonic you know, and you were like, man,
Speaker 2: I would love to talk to people about just you know,
Speaker 2: how do I become you know, a person who lives.
Speaker 4: To be one hundred years old? And then yeah, networks
Speaker 4: were like.
Speaker 2: No, I don't nobody care about that, but can't we
Speaker 2: see you risk your life now what everyone.
Speaker 8: Was like, that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, and so don't you have children because it's
Speaker 4: because it.
Speaker 2: It was me if if I miss Katery Perry and
Speaker 2: I got a baby at home, I'm like, sir, if
Speaker 2: you don't sit down, why for what? Oh?
Speaker 8: God love you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she's she's amazing, super We both support each other immensely.
Speaker 10: But look, obviously perhaps she didn't know exactly quite the
Speaker 10: lengths I'd be going to until I kind of came
Speaker 10: home freaking out, sweating and going like, erh that was
Speaker 10: real and a lot, but I think, you know, I
Speaker 10: hope that Like for me, it was like this was
Speaker 10: an opportunity to kind of get super capable, super focused,
Speaker 10: and actually these remarkable athletes that taught me all these
Speaker 10: incredible things. You see, Luke Aitkins was the guy who
Speaker 10: taught me to to wing suit, and Camille Jabar was
Speaker 10: taught me to free dive with Will Treuebridge. And then
Speaker 10: there was this amazing adaptive climber named mo Beck who
Speaker 10: was born with one hand and claimed exactly what I climbed, like,
Speaker 10: these are people with an incredible skill set, and I
Speaker 10: kind of felt like, well, if I could learn instead
Speaker 10: of being this like impulsive kid that I kind of
Speaker 10: always said been in like that was when I got
Speaker 10: into trouble, you know, like flying around on my motorcycle
Speaker 10: thinking I could do anything and then not knowing the
Speaker 10: protocols or not knowing exactly.
Speaker 8: It was like an education in.
Speaker 10: Becoming super present, super capable and able to like push through.
Speaker 10: What I think was, you know, an edge for me.
Speaker 10: Now listen for other people. Their edges a little different,
Speaker 10: you know. But it was like it wouldn't necessarily play
Speaker 10: on TV in the same way.
Speaker 4: Well, my edge is being a black woman in America.
Speaker 5: So but there you go.
Speaker 8: You only have to step out the house, right.
Speaker 2: I walk outside, and I'm like, man, this is extreme,
Speaker 2: this is real. I hope I make it back tonight
Speaker 2: black at Alta. I might meet Jesus far across the street.
Speaker 2: So you went wing suited, yeah, rock climbing, free diving. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Now I thought diving didn't cost any money?
Speaker 4: What what is what is free diving?
Speaker 10: It's so I basically swam to I ended up at
Speaker 10: about one hundred and two feet thirty seven meters.
Speaker 8: I guess it's like one.
Speaker 10: Tenth of the the Chrysler building, or ten floors maybe
Speaker 10: you can think of it ten floors. I swam to
Speaker 10: ten floors on one breath. And down in back.
Speaker 4: So it was it five down and five up or
Speaker 4: was it ten.
Speaker 8: Down and ten up, ten down and ten up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like two hundred feet up there, okay.
Speaker 4: And so it's free diving called that because it's free
Speaker 4: of air? Is that why?
Speaker 2: Because you don't have like a there's no snorkel, there's
Speaker 2: no scooping.
Speaker 4: There's just it's just you and.
Speaker 8: You and your breath and the and the great deep beyond.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 8: Pretty scary. I mean, it's a.
Speaker 10: Weird feeling because you're you're literally like you know, I mean,
Speaker 10: and I'm not claustrophobic and I love the ocean. But
Speaker 10: there was a lot of technical stuff with like you know, equalizing,
Speaker 10: and I had a mask, and I mean, you know,
Speaker 10: it was it was challenging, but we got there and
Speaker 10: it was and I only had like a week to
Speaker 10: kind of do that. I mean, I learned to I
Speaker 10: learned to hold my breath. I kept doing these techniques.
Speaker 10: So Camilla, who was training me, taught me these breath
Speaker 10: routines and ways to sort of exhale whole breath out
Speaker 10: to build up this co two, which is what you
Speaker 10: feel most uncomfortably when you're underwater and then holding your
Speaker 10: breath for an extended period of time.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's it is unnatural.
Speaker 6: It's not saying that, like I definitely wouldn't recommend it
Speaker 6: just to kind of go do that, you know, but
Speaker 6: but it was like I think I got a lot
Speaker 6: from it.
Speaker 2: So like, so you learned on my breath, So you
Speaker 2: learned a lot from this experience of all way, I'm
Speaker 2: almost not making it out of these experiences. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: do you felt like you learned in those places we
Speaker 2: were at those momentary Just like I'm like right on,
Speaker 2: because like, did you reach the was the edge?
Speaker 5: Death?
Speaker 4: Was the edge?
Speaker 7: I think it's close to it.
Speaker 10: I think I say in this show, I never feel
Speaker 10: more alive when I'm as close to death. And I
Speaker 10: think that I had that feeling of you know, if
Speaker 10: you if you're in in a really intense moment, a
Speaker 10: really intense situation.
Speaker 8: And I had these incredible teachers.
Speaker 10: If I follow the protocol, if I just follow what
Speaker 10: I've learned, if I trust, if I let go all
Speaker 10: of those ideas of like being rhythm, being like trust
Speaker 10: the universe, trust this is on my path, Trust that
Speaker 10: like I'd learned everything, Trust that Luke who taught me,
Speaker 10: for example, with the free diving that I was capable
Speaker 10: to wingsuit after twenty five jumps, which is when I
Speaker 10: got my A license.
Speaker 8: So we're not sure.
Speaker 10: We're not sure anyone really has done it on the
Speaker 10: twenty sixth jump wingsuiting because it's a particularly terrifying kind
Speaker 10: of experience when you don't have a huge amount of experience.
Speaker 8: But yo, but I kind of had.
Speaker 10: I felt like being present, really present, and maybe that's
Speaker 10: something that I'll take back. Hopefully that's something that I
Speaker 10: am taking back to my family, like being more present
Speaker 10: or grateful, more like appreciative of life.
Speaker 8: I guess.
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Because the idea of being more present is the thing
Speaker 2: that's always I mean, it's we're here, I'm a present,
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 4: But but I.
Speaker 2: Guess the id because like how it is you You're
Speaker 2: a gift.
Speaker 4: Look at God.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: And if you have any nice friends, I want to
Speaker 2: meet me. You know, we can talk about that letter,
Speaker 2: mister Bloom. But I do wonder like, was there anything
Speaker 2: that got you? I guess like being in those moments,
Speaker 2: it feels like it's probably a very spiritual experience when
Speaker 2: you're that close to just.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I yeah, definitely when you're that close to death.
Speaker 10: And I've had this Buddhist practice in my life since
Speaker 10: I sixteen, so I chan't aw me and get killed,
Speaker 10: which has been a really wonderful philosophy in my life
Speaker 10: and something like kind of an anchor for me. Really,
Speaker 10: So I I I actually you see me chant a
Speaker 10: little bit of that, and it's something that I would say,
Speaker 10: help me to deal with the voices in my head
Speaker 10: telling me that I was insane or that I might die.
Speaker 4: You know, that's survival, sir, that's your body gone breathe.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, exactly, bro.
Speaker 10: Which, by the way, when you're doing that, you are breathing.
Speaker 10: But I think you know in a way. Yeah, it's
Speaker 10: it was very focusing and grounding and and because you're
Speaker 10: in like these hyper tense situations.
Speaker 8: I liked it. It helped. I'll use it again. I
Speaker 8: use it now.
Speaker 2: You're an actor who's been a part of huge franchises. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the read The Powers of the Caribbean. But like this
Speaker 2: is a docu series, so there's no because like I'm
Speaker 2: also a trained actor. When I started doing stand up,
Speaker 2: it scared me because I'd never been on stage, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't me being a character bringing someone else to life,
Speaker 2: and there were someone else's words. So how did it
Speaker 2: feel to be on camera but you weren't playing someone
Speaker 2: else and you were very being very true to yourself
Speaker 2: and presenting yourself kind.
Speaker 10: Of vulnerable and terrified. Yes, it was a lot, to
Speaker 10: be honest. I never thought of doing anything like this,
Speaker 10: you know. I wasn't thinking I want to do an
Speaker 10: unscripted show and I want to do some kind of
Speaker 10: action adventure thing.
Speaker 8: It wasn't in my in my thinking.
Speaker 10: It just was something that became part of my journey,
Speaker 10: which I'm grateful for. But it was like, definitely, I
Speaker 10: was I had a certain amount of like, am I
Speaker 10: going to say something really silly all the time or
Speaker 10: just part of the time, And I am I gonna
Speaker 10: sound like I know anything about anything?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 10: So that was that was That was also I think
Speaker 10: a massive I'm grateful for that question. It was a
Speaker 10: massive part of the equation because whilst doing these insane
Speaker 10: things was insane and challenging, like overcoming some of the
Speaker 10: things in my mind that prevented me from even thinking
Speaker 10: anything I had to say was going to work. For
Speaker 10: an unscripted show, because, as you point out so rightly,
Speaker 10: I've worked on some great characters and great writers. And
Speaker 10: when you have a dialogue, you know from a character
Speaker 10: that's been written. Now, it's there's there's there's choices that
Speaker 10: you make. But when you're just riffing, it's like, as
Speaker 10: you know, you can't really know it.
Speaker 8: Is that gonna look.
Speaker 10: So it was that was another element to it that
Speaker 10: I kind of had to learn to.
