Speaker 5 You're listening to Comedy Central.

Speaker 6 From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only source for news.
This is the Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.

Speaker 6 Welcome to the Dalyn Show. I'm Josh Johnson.

Speaker 7 We have got so much to talk about tonight. Trump just can't escape Epstein Island.
The AG goes A wall and Republicans want to speak to a manager.

Speaker 7 So let's kick it off with our continuing coverage of the very normal and not shady handling of the Epstein files.

Speaker 5 It's pretty boring stuff.

Speaker 7 Jeffrey Epstein died back in 2019, but not since Tupac Shakur has a dead man dropped so many bangers.

Speaker 7 Yesterday, video of the government questioning him back in 2010 started making the rounds, and you'll never guess whose name came up.

Speaker 6 Go ahead, guess.

Speaker 8 Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of

Speaker 8 females under the age of 18?

Speaker 9 Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today, I'm going to have to assert my fifth, sixth, and 14th Amendment right answer.

Speaker 2 I'm going to put that down.

Speaker 7 I'm going to put that down as a yes.

Speaker 7 I'll be honest, I've never heard anybody plead anything other than the fifth before.

Speaker 7 But this guy's so guilty, he's calling out every amendment he can think of. Like, no, no, no, what's the one with the women voting? 19, throw that in too.

Speaker 7 Now, this video is dropping less than a day since we found out Pam Bondi reportedly warned Trump back in May that his name was in the files multiple times.

Speaker 7 And it just so happens her next appearance was scheduled last night at a summit against human trafficking. Pam, show us what you got.

Speaker 11 I do have a note from the Attorney General, from Attorney General Pam Bondi, that I wanted to share. I'm sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today.

Speaker 11 Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn cornea, which is preventing me from being with you.

Speaker 7 Damn.

Speaker 7 Even Pam Bondi's cornea is like, release the Epstein files or I quit.

Speaker 7 I don't even understand this. Like,

Speaker 7 why does her cornea mean she can't talk?

Speaker 7 Like, I don't know a lot about women's bodies, and this is embarrassing to ask, but is the cornea in the throat?

Speaker 7 Like, the only member of the Trump administration that I would believe has an eye injury is FBI Director Cash Patel.

Speaker 7 I can't tell if that man is blind or can see the future.

Speaker 7 He always looks like he just saw the Epstein files.

Speaker 7 But yeah, a lot of people were suspicious about this excuse because now everything is being viewed within the context of the Epstein story. So Bondi skipping a panel on sex trafficking was bad timing.

Speaker 7 And speaking of bad timing.

Speaker 12 Roy Black, a prominent criminal defense attorney who defended Epstein, passed away on Monday at the age of 80.

Speaker 7 Yes, yes, Epstein's lawyer died. But don't we all?

Speaker 7 That man was 80. That's a very normal age to be pushed into an oncoming train.

Speaker 7 No matter what the reason was, Epstein's lawyer dying just looks bad. He had his whole life to die and he chews now?

Speaker 7 That's inconsiderate.

Speaker 7 Because of all this, Trump has lost total control of the situation. Even his allies in Congress are turning on him.

Speaker 7 In an effort to gain clarity, three Republicans joined Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to subpoena the Justice Department to give Congress all of the Epstein files.

Speaker 13 This fight's coming no matter, I mean, this is here. You know, I'm ready to take this vote.

Speaker 13 I think we should take this vote and move forward, move this country forward, and people deserve transparency.

Speaker 7 Nancy Mace, damn.

Speaker 7 Trump is even losing the white women,

Speaker 7 which is great because it means we're getting the white women and we're getting those files.

Speaker 7 All right, this feels like when you're at the airport and Southwest has delayed you for 23 hours, you're standing in line at customer service, and there's a white woman in line in front of you, bubbling harder than Prosecco.

Speaker 7 She's even doing the like,

Speaker 7 And then she turns to you and says, I'm gonna say something. And you're like, yes, yes, yes, white lady.
Go up there and get that manager

Speaker 6 for all of us.

Speaker 6 All right?

Speaker 7 And it's not just Nancy Mace. This is an issue across the entire Karen American community.

Speaker 7 Marjorie Taylor Greene wants the files. Lauren Boebert wants a special counsel.
She's like, I came to Washington to expose pedophiles and jack people off.

Speaker 7 And I'm fresh out of people to jack off.

Speaker 6 Now.

Speaker 7 Now it may be surprising that some of the most die-hard congressmen are going against Trump on this, but you have to remember that they ultimately just want to be re-elected.

Speaker 7 And right now their voters are absolutely losing it over this Epstein thing.

Speaker 14 How much are your constituents clamoring for more information about Epstein right now?

Speaker 5 It's the number one phone call that we get by far. It's probably 500 to one.

Speaker 6 500 to one.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's number one phone calls that we get.

Speaker 7 I'm sorry, 500 to 1?

Speaker 7 I want to know about the Epstein files, but that is wild. That means people are calling in 500 times about Jeffrey Epstein for every one caller who's just like, hey,

Speaker 7 my tap water poison.

Speaker 7 And I could understand it if everything else in your state is going fine, but this congressman's from Missouri, okay?

Speaker 7 They have real problems, but they're using all their boost mobile minutes on this thing.

Speaker 7 I'll talk to my kids next month. This Epstein thing is too important.

Speaker 7 And worst of all for Trump, it's not just his allies in Congress or conservative Americans. He's pissed off his most important base of support.

Speaker 6 Crazy ass lunatics.

Speaker 16 Jacob Chansley, the QAnon shaman who became famous for his horned outfit during the January 6th Capitol Riot is lashing out at the man who gave him a pardon. Chansley called the president a fraud.

Speaker 16 Like,

Speaker 7 wow, do you know how down bad you are when the guys who went to prison for you were turning on you? Like, I need to stress this real quick. He went to jail for Trump.

Speaker 7 This would be like if Nelson Mandela came out of prison like, you know what?

Speaker 7 I'm done with black people.

Speaker 7 Hey.

Speaker 7 These guys believe in everything but you. Take a look.

Speaker 16 He He also suggested that the president had defiled a corpse. Billionaire Elon Musk wasn't spared either, with Chansley describing the world's richest man as a baby eater.

Speaker 7 This is so, so bad. That's the thing about QAnon.
Like, if Kendrick Lamar wanted to ruin your life, at least he'd do a bunch of research on you and your family.

Speaker 7 QAnon just comes out and says you're eating spines.

Speaker 7 And there's no way for you to prove you don't eat spines. In fact, every time you've got some between your teeth, they're like, see, see, he flossing babies.

Speaker 7 At this point, forget about excuses. Trump is going to need psychoactive drugs to get people's minds off Epstein.
And luckily, he has one.

Speaker 18 Are you depressed over the missing Epstein files? Is the increasing suspicion that the president is part of a vast sex trafficking conspiracy keeping you awake at night? Then you need Ozepstein.

Speaker 18 It's the revolutionary new drug drug from the Trump administration that suppresses the body's natural urge to want to know more about Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 19 Before Ozempstein, I would constantly ask myself, why are Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in so many pictures together? But now,

Speaker 6 I'm good.

Speaker 18 Ozempstein's powerful mix of untested stimulants reduce your body's skepticism of whatever Trump officials say. So you'll go from this.

Speaker 8 I think the DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein documents. To this.
Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being.

Speaker 18 If you find yourself craving transparency, reach for the Ozempstein. And in minutes, you'll lose your suspicions so you can get back to living your life.

Speaker 18 Side effects include brain damage and that thing that's happening to Trump's ankles.

Speaker 19 Thanks to Ozempstein, I don't care that Trump signed Epstein's birthday card with the drawing of a woman's pubic hair. But why would he if he wasn't...
Oh my god, I need another dose. Where is it?

Speaker 10 Where is it? Hurry, hurry.

Speaker 20 I'm starting to wonder about that missing minute of prison footage.

Speaker 6 It's too suspicious.

Speaker 18 Oh, Zempstein. Oh, God.

Speaker 23 Welcome back to The Daily Show.

Speaker 7 Every year there's more and more reporters in the news media. So to find out who some of them are, we go to Jordan Clepper in our ongoing segment, News to Meet You.

Speaker 10 If you're one of the dozens of people who have tuned into CNN recently, you've probably seen a lot of this.

Speaker 6 Wait a minute.

Speaker 6 Why am I lying? You're lying. You're lying.

Speaker 6 You're lying, Scott. I don't care.
I don't care who who appointed them. I don't care.

Speaker 6 Here's what I do care about. They're lying.
They are. We can agree on basic facts.
They are. They are.

Speaker 6 We also get even.

Speaker 6 No, no, no. Oh, okay, Scott.

Speaker 6 Let me educate you. You don't need to pay attention to me.

Speaker 21 And you don't need to be condescending to me. So let me educate you about my position.

Speaker 10 I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 I didn't catch all of that.

Speaker 10 Now, if you don't know, the southern gentleman the other eight people were screaming at is this guy, Scott Jennings, senior CNN commentator and bitter enemy of the Von Trapp family singers.

Speaker 10 Now, before becoming the conservative face of CNN, he got a start in politics, smoothing over dubious activity for the second Bush administration.

Speaker 24 White House aide Scott Jennings, the 29-year-old Vunderkin, part of a nefarious White House scheme to systematically fire disobedient U.S. attorneys.

Speaker 25 Jennings declined to answer most questions in the face of sharp complaints from Democrats.

Speaker 20 Senator, pursuant to the president's assertion, I must respectfully decline to answer that question at this time. I must respectfully decline to answer your questions.

Speaker 20 I'm going to have to decline to answer that question. I'll have to decline to answer that.

Speaker 6 Wow.

Speaker 10 Worst Jeopardy contestant ever.

Speaker 10 I mean, not the point, but his transformation is full Jonah Hill here.

Speaker 10 Pretty soon, he's going to get those arm tats and won't shut up about his therapist.

Speaker 6 We get it, Jonah.

Speaker 10 But that was the last time Jennings would ever decline to share his opinion because he soon joined CNN where he made a name for himself as a rare conservative voice who would openly attack Donald Trump.

Speaker 20 He's clearly violated his oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. This is outrageous.
It's beyond the pale. Every Republican ought to be able to say so.

Speaker 20 We need a new nominee. If we nominate him again, we will lose.
It sounds like an unhinged, deranged person has gotten loose and is out on the street and may be a danger to themselves and others.

Speaker 10 Exactly.

Speaker 10 Scott Jennings is a principled man who knows Donald Trump is a danger to the party.

Speaker 6 He's not going to backtrack.

Speaker 10 You're certainly not going to see Donald Trump suddenly praising him for his total compliance, say, I don't know, two years later.

Speaker 26 You know, we have a man here that I don't know, but he's defending me all the time on CNN.

Speaker 26 And he defends me really well, Scott Jennings.

Speaker 4 Dear Scott.

Speaker 27 Michigan.

Speaker 28 We were flying in here today, and I said, look at these farms. I got to get a farm in Michigan.
Because when you own as many libs as I do, you got to put a place to put them all.

Speaker 10 And the person sitting next to him on the plane said, okay, I'm going to put my headphones in now and just listen to a podcast.

Speaker 6 Cool, cool.

Speaker 10 So, how did Jennings metamorphosize from principled caterpillar to craven butterfly?

Speaker 10 Well, after a few years on CNN, Scott Jennings realized that bucking the establishment was hard and shouting MAGA talking points was easy and fun.

Speaker 20 Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be men.

Speaker 17 Democrats, they are for things.

Speaker 20 Illegal aliens,

Speaker 8 you're for boys and girls' sports.

Speaker 25 Well,

Speaker 20 there's thousands of Hitlers running around this country right now, running around college campuses, running around New York City. Those are the Hitler's

Speaker 6 party. Okay, okay.

Speaker 10 In fairness, the Times Square's Hitlers Hitlers are just Venezuelan guys in Hitler outfits.

Speaker 10 You know, when it comes to spotting Nazis, Jennings has proven he has a keen eye.

Speaker 10 Watch him hear Hitler explain to his colleagues after Elon Musk gave a Sig Heil salute in public.

Speaker 6 I mean, you are way off the rails.

Speaker 6 I'm off the rails. You're the one who defended Sig Heiling as a normal activity.

Speaker 6 This salute trutherism is outrageous.

Speaker 21 This is the biggest concern.

Speaker 6 Do it right now on TV.

Speaker 6 If you think it's normal, if you think this is a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won't you?

Speaker 29 I want to redirect us here.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 10 my favorite game. Truth or dare or Nazi.

Speaker 10 You know what? Let's goose step in another direction, shall we?

Speaker 10 Because Scott Jennings is not all Nazis and live farming. He also knows how to have a good time.

Speaker 28 The Republicans have become the fun party.

Speaker 7 We're the fun party.

Speaker 28 We're the fun party. America, it's the fun party.
Once again,

Speaker 20 oh, we don't need to stand up.

Speaker 28 It's cool to be a Republican.

Speaker 10 Chuck, Julie. We need to stand up.
Chuck, Julie, I invite you to get in on it.

Speaker 28 It is true. We're back, baby.
We're back, baby.

Speaker 10 And they say white people can't dance.

Speaker 6 Sorry, I read that wrong.

Speaker 10 They say white people can't dance, and they're right.

Speaker 10 Of course, Jennings' antics started to garner him more camera time, so he continued to roll out funnier and funnier bits.

Speaker 20 Some of these countries are basically irrelevant. You know, Kazakhstan,

Speaker 24 whatever. Some of them are more relevant.

Speaker 28 But

Speaker 6 you're going to hear from the Kazakhs on that right now. I know we keep going.

Speaker 28 Very nice.

Speaker 6 Nailed it. Oh, man.

Speaker 10 That is a killer borach

Speaker 10 in 2025.

Speaker 10 I mean, does he do this at home? I'd hate to be his wife.

Speaker 10 Now, you'd think debasing yourself with a Borat impression on CNN might be the end of your career, but now that there are rumors that Jennings could replace Mitch McConnell in the Senate, which is shocking, frankly.

Speaker 10 I didn't know it was even possible to switch places with Mitch McConnell through an election.

Speaker 10 I thought the only path involved was breaking an ancient curse.

Speaker 10 But I might kind of ask Scott Jennings just one question.

Speaker 6 It would be this.

Speaker 10 Do you actually believe in this Trump shit? Are you just shamelessly parroting MAGA talking points to gain access into our country's highest halls of power?

Speaker 20 I must respectfully decline to answer your question.

Speaker 6 Fair enough.

Speaker 10 Good night. A good f to love.

Speaker 10 Thank you, Jordan. When we come back, Crystal McDonald will be joining us.

Speaker 17 Welcome back to The Daily Show.

Speaker 7 My guest tonight is an Emmy-nominated actor who reprises his iconic role as Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore 2. Please welcome Christopher McDonald.

Speaker 7 Very nice, Kyle.

Speaker 7 Thank you so much for being here.

Speaker 6 My appreciation.

Speaker 5 My pleasure. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 7 I feel like I would be making a misstep if I didn't start this thing off with a big thank you. Because I remember watching you in Happy Gilmore in the original one.

Speaker 7 And at the time, my grandma was a little bit sick and I was very worried about her and everything. And I was sitting with my mom and we were watching Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 7 And I was like, just watching your performance is such an incredible movie. And like the time that I was laughing, I didn't, yeah, I just didn't think about any of it.

Speaker 7 And it's like, I don't know if you get stories like that all the time, but like, especially this moment, I'll never forget, is when you are trying to like,

Speaker 7 you're trying to like, I think, do some short game, and people are partying because this is the part in the movie where Happy's like taking over, changing golf, and you turn around, you're like, damn, you people, this is golf.

Speaker 7 And then you tap it in, and you're like, yeah!

Speaker 7 And that moment has made me laugh ever since. And I cannot thank you enough.
Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 6 Thank you.

Speaker 6 Thank you.

Speaker 10 Indeed,

Speaker 10 I got to say something, though.

Speaker 5 You know the Adam Sandler's movie has got a lot of heart in it. Now, the first one had a lot of heart and was all about his grandma.
So it was kind of a great thing.

Speaker 5 He was fighting to get grandma's house back. And in this one that's going to kill tonight,

Speaker 5 it's amazing how much heart is in it. Julie Bowen's amazing.
Adam's amazing to work with.

Speaker 5 But he always feels it with heart and family. And that makes the world a difference.
It's why we go to the movies to feel that kind of emotion.

Speaker 5 So kudos to him and kudos to Netflix for making it a big, big, big opening.

Speaker 7 Yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 7 So I have always wondered, do you golf in real life? I do. You do?

Speaker 6 I love the game of golf.

Speaker 5 I don't play as good as the, you know, some of our

Speaker 5 people that are in our movie because we got all these crazy cameos. I think it's leaked a little bit out there, what kind of players we have, but I would stand back and watch them in awe all day long.

Speaker 5 Amazing golfers. I play a lot for charities.
I raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation, for Jim Kelly, my dear friend Buffalo Bill Guy, for Kelly for Kids, Watching Duck.

Speaker 5 St. Jude with Patrick Warburton.

Speaker 5 You go out there, you're playing a scramble, basically, the best ball, and it's quicker, funner, because you're all having a good time and you're doing it for a great cause.

Speaker 5 And I think that's always a blessing to give back like that.

Speaker 7 No, 100%.

Speaker 6 Absolutely.

Speaker 6 You are

Speaker 7 a phenomenal actor. You've been in like over 100 films, like 40 stage productions and everything.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 7 a lot of people know you as shooter, you know?

Speaker 7 Like, that's actually a thing that like my grandpa used to do sometimes is that even if he saw somebody in another movie, rather than learning their name, he would just do his favorite role they were in in the other movie.

Speaker 7 So like if he saw you in Greece too, he'd be like, I know shooter was in Greece too.

Speaker 7 Man, Shooter killing it in Greece too.

Speaker 6 That's funny.

Speaker 7 And so I wonder what it's like to play all these different roles and be known by so many for one of them.

Speaker 5 It's incredible to have something like Shooter McGavin and Happy Gilmore in my filmography because people don't even know my name. They just go, Shooter!

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 5 You know, you go any airport, walk down the street in New York City. Used to be like,

Speaker 5 used to be, I was working with the great Kirsty Alley, and I was a very mean husband in that one, but very funny. And

Speaker 5 they would stop me and say, no, why are you so mean to her?

Speaker 6 What are you doing?

Speaker 5 And so I thought, you know, it's kind of crazy they're going to do it anyway. And I just embrace it.
I love the fans. I give back as much as I can.

Speaker 5 I just think that it's the fans that keep this thing going. And so call me whatever you want, but I know it's always going to be a shooter.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, man.

Speaker 6 Now,

Speaker 7 you are absolutely incredible in hacks.

Speaker 6 You are like,

Speaker 6 you are phenomenal.

Speaker 6 Okay. Thank you.

Speaker 7 I know I'm not the first person to tell you, but I feel like I should be another person to tell you. You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 And you get cast as like the villain or a bad guy or a guy who has to like come to his senses a lot. Like,

Speaker 7 what is it like to play a bad guy but know you're a good person?

Speaker 6 It's called acting.

Speaker 5 I do it. I tell you, I do a little research on the people.
I think you must have a bad guy to feed your leading man, especially in Happy Gilmore. You gotta hate the shooter.

Speaker 5 You gotta love to hate him too, because a lot of people do.

Speaker 5 So it's really interesting to see that happen in Hacks, which is such a brilliant written show. I mean, it's won many, many awards.
It's just the trio that put it together are fantastic.

Speaker 5 They've been friends forever they're all very funny people and then there's Gene Smart and Hannah Einbinder who are blow your mind great and then there's you know all our other people that are in the show that are just fantastic and the writing makes all the difference in the world so I'm kind of a bad guy I have to be I get her out of the business you know at my hotel I'm up in Vegas and but I'm always in her life because we've had this history together and in in this in the show and in life she's an old pal for 30 years so it's really great to be working on that show and I I feel blessed every day.

Speaker 5 I really do want to know.

Speaker 7 That's awesome.

Speaker 7 And I'm curious then if, because the reason I asked the first question was basically, I wonder if, like, knowing that you're like such a sweet person, like, I had actually heard about you before I ever met you and how like cool you were and everything and like and like some of the charity work that you've done and stuff.

Speaker 7 And so in my head, I'm like, oh, he must get it all out when he shoot her.

Speaker 6 You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 Like you wanted to curse out somebody at the hotel. And you're like, nope, save it.
Use it.

Speaker 6 Use it.

Speaker 6 Use it.

Speaker 7 And then you're filming and you're like, okay, let it rip.

Speaker 6 Let it rip. Yeah,

Speaker 6 it's kind of true, actually.

Speaker 5 Very, very well done there. Oh, okay.

Speaker 7 What's a moment you knew you were using it? What's a moment you were like, ooh, I want to let loose on this guy?

Speaker 5 Yeah, okay. I'm in the theater in New York City, and one of my pet peeves is the phone's going off during production of the show.
And, you know, and you don't get it.

Speaker 6 Bring, bring, bring. Wow, wow, wow, bring it.
And it's like, I'm gonna have to kill him.

Speaker 5 It's very, very annoying. And at the same time, when they finally get it, and then someone else's phone goes off.

Speaker 6 Like, people, please shut your phones off when you go to the theater.

Speaker 5 Because the theater is sacred. It's unbelievable.
I've done three Broadway shows. It's one of the biggest thrills of my life, also.

Speaker 5 And it just happened the other night when I was seeing Jean Smart doing her

Speaker 5 Call Me Izzy, and she's amazing. And the phone goes off, and you just want to.
So I hold off. I got off.

Speaker 5 And then I, you know, I basically vent it when I get out because you can do anything in New York City, you can just yell stuff. So I just get it out.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 Do you ever like yell in New York and then another guy's like, you, you read my mind.

Speaker 5 They're really not probably bright enough to say you read my mind.

Speaker 6 They go, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 What do you say? Yeah, some of that. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Take that. Yeah.
Oh, man. That's funny.
I, I.

Speaker 7 have also been curious, is there a role out of all the things that you've already done that you still want to do?

Speaker 7 Is there still a character that you want to play or is there still like a type, you know?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I would tell you,

Speaker 5 to be totally honest, I think I would love to do a love story. It's one of the few things I've done.

Speaker 5 I've done musicals, I've done dramas, I've done historical pieces, I've done all these great genres on television and everything like that, but a true love story, I'm getting a little, you know, getting up there in the old age, and it's time.

Speaker 5 It just would fill my heart with joy to do that, to have a real great leading man part like that.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 I mean I think that's not gonna be a problem because you are very tall and good looking like this

Speaker 7 oh all right yeah

Speaker 7 even that there even the lean that was a good looking man's lean

Speaker 6 we were like

Speaker 6 you know

Speaker 6 no absolutely

Speaker 7 I would love to see that I would 100% love that to see that put it out there in your universe,

Speaker 5 kind of visualize it, make it happen.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Put it out there.

Speaker 7 Yeah. I mean, hopefully that can be like an arc, you know, maybe in a show that you're already doing.

Speaker 6 I like the way you're thinking.

Speaker 6 I see where you're going. Yeah, I mean, because you're already hanging out with them.

Speaker 7 You might as well be like, hey, why don't you do this?

Speaker 6 Yeah. I would love that.

Speaker 5 I'd absolutely love that.

Speaker 7 What is the thing now that separates the actor that you felt like you were when you started your career from the actor that you are now. Because obviously people learn lessons in everything.

Speaker 7 And I find that when really great artists make their art their work,

Speaker 7 there can be a little bit of a loss of like the shine to it because now it's not the thing you do when you're not at work, it's the thing that you do to eat.

Speaker 7 And those type of things put extra pressure on the thing that is your creativity. So what changes have you seen in your in your acting approach from when you started to present day?

Speaker 5 That's a very deep question, my friend.

Speaker 6 An acting career is very, very difficult.

Speaker 5 You start out, it's like a roller coaster.

Speaker 5 You're going up, you get a job in an engine, you don't work for a good couple of weeks, or three weeks, or a month, and then it's very hard to keep that momentum going.

Speaker 5 What you want to do is get in a hit. That's always helpful because the people know you and they say, Oh my god, like when I hit Thelma Louise, Thelma Louise was huge for me.
I was the jerky husband.

Speaker 5 And

Speaker 5 what had happened was she had to choose rather to go over the cliff or go back to her jerky husband. She chose the cliff and

Speaker 5 that was good use of a jerky character. But

Speaker 5 that opened so many doors for me. I was meeting with great directors that I've always admired and that kind of thing, that kind of momentum is what you want as an actor.
And it doesn't always come.

Speaker 5 And like I say, it's a roller coaster. And then you just go, okay, what do I need to do? And I watch film a lot.

Speaker 5 I mean, I watch a film a day, just a movie, just to keep going, watching the work that's going out by these wonderful actors and having worked with a lot of these actors is a it's a joy just to talk actors.

Speaker 5 Actors are great people by the way, really fun, really

Speaker 5 curious, really they're just they find things in life and they bring it to their work and that's exactly what I do. I just think it's a gas to do that.
I steal like an artist.

Speaker 6 Yeah, yeah, oh no, that's phenomenal.

Speaker 7 Now I had one last thing.

Speaker 7 You know, sometimes at the ends, you know, you'll shake hands, you'll wave and everything, but it's my first week.

Speaker 7 I'm trying to do things a little differently and I have you here, which is such a blessing. So I was wondering if you'd play a little golf with me.

Speaker 6 This will be fun.

Speaker 7 It is all we could afford.

Speaker 7 Now, I don't know what the thick one versus the thin one is called, but basically, I'll give you this guy.

Speaker 6 Oh, I'm so happy. This is fantastic.

Speaker 7 I think we may have to share this one. I don't know if this is the beginning one or the end.

Speaker 5 That's the driver, yeah. You'll need driver with this one.
Okay. Ridiculous, okay.

Speaker 7 Okay, got you. I even put the driver.

Speaker 5 Are you going? Yeah,

Speaker 5 that's a putter right there. Okay, this is a putter.

Speaker 5 Or a toothpick. I don't know which one is.

Speaker 6 All right.

Speaker 7 Well, so I think you put the balls

Speaker 7 in the section, right?

Speaker 5 This is the hole. This is a flag.
Okay.

Speaker 6 Get it through the two bad things.

Speaker 5 They're called... There's a sand pit.
You want to get out of those sand pits. Okay.
And get it to this circle thing that's called the hole. So you want to put it.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Okay. Now, would you like to go first or should I go first?

Speaker 5 I'll watch you.

Speaker 6 Okay. Here we go.
All right. Good luck.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 6 All right.

Speaker 6 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 5 You put a lot of stoosie on that. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that was a mistake.

Speaker 5 I'm going to start mine over here.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 5 the shooters still have it in the miniature world.

Speaker 6 We'll see.

Speaker 6 Close.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 5 Okay. Now you can go back.
You can hit your second shot or you can do it again because we're making the rules up right now, Paralympic.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 7 I think I'll go for second shot.

Speaker 5 Not a boy.

Speaker 7 Because I think I can. Okay.

Speaker 5 You have to get around that tree. That's tricky.
Yes, this is true. Just go look over there and just pull a little foot wedge.

Speaker 7 Okay, I went tree for tree.

Speaker 6 There you go.

Speaker 6 You go

Speaker 6 ahead. All right.

Speaker 5 All right, so I'm still back here.

Speaker 6 So I'm going to...

Speaker 5 Oh, geez, did I fall there? Here we go.

Speaker 6 Oh, my goodness. Here we go.
Come on, sweetheart. Thanks.

Speaker 6 Head over there. Okay, okay.

Speaker 5 It's just the hardest game in the world.

Speaker 6 All right.

Speaker 7 So, here we go.

Speaker 6 Bow.

Speaker 5 Always let the host win. Gosh, you're right there.
Do it again.

Speaker 6 Is that the rule? That's the rule when you're on a TV show, right? Oh, really? Okay.

Speaker 6 Eh.

Speaker 5 All right. I'll finish it for you.

Speaker 6 Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 5 Get in there. That is.

Speaker 5 Hey.

Speaker 5 Still got it.

The moment of zoning.

Speaker 30 I'm tired of hearing people trying to pin Trump to it. Trump has been out front saying that he knew the guy, and he banded from Mar-a-Lago.
They knew knew each other. They ran in the same circles.

Speaker 30 It's just like me. I know a lot of dirtbags myself.
