00:03From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news.
00:10This is The Daily Show with your host, Jordan Clapper.
00:27Welcome to The Daily Show, Jordan Clapper.
00:30We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:32Rand Paul drags Mark Wayne's names through the mud.
00:35The NBA doesn't want to play shirts and skins.
00:38And the most disturbing thing at the gas station is no longer the bathroom.
00:42So, keep pissing on the floor, everybody.
00:46Let's get right into it with the latest on the war in Iran.
00:51Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.
00:56As the war continues into its third week, oil prices are skyrocketing,
01:01which is devastating for everyday Americans like commuters, truck drivers,
01:05and that guy from Dune who lives in a pool of oil.
01:09He can only afford to bathe in a kiddie pool now.
01:12It's really demoralizing.
01:15And if you're thinking, that's fine.
01:16I rarely bathe in a pool of oil.
01:19This won't affect me.
01:21Think again.
01:22Now, if oil prices keep rising, this flows through to a lot of areas.
01:26Heating oil goes up.
01:27Airline ticket prices go up.
01:29Delivery services, public transit can go up.
01:31And groceries, child care, elder care.
01:34Gas is affecting elder care?
01:38I swear to God, if this means my grandmother can't send me $10 for my birthday,
01:42she's f***ing dead to me.
01:46Yes.
01:47For those of you who drop your nana off on a Delta flight in the morning
01:51and just let her circle around in the sky all day,
01:55it's gonna get a lot more expensive.
01:57And it may surprise you, but those tennis balls old people put on the bottom of their walkers
02:02come directly through the Strait of Hormuz.
02:05Just...
02:06Yeah.
02:07So, high gas prices have Mago World in a tricky position now,
02:11because there's no way to spin it as a good thing to the American people.
02:16Unless, you know what?
02:18Unless, what if we're the problem?
02:20$3.50 gasoline.
02:22People are talking like this at the end of the world.
02:25No, it's not.
02:26I can handle the gas prices.
02:28People can handle the gas prices.
02:29We're hardly ever called on to sacrifice anything anymore.
02:33Freedom is not free.
02:34Americans are gonna have to make some sacrifices.
02:37For gas prices to go up a little bit is suddenly raising so much concern.
02:40Think of how much worse it was in World War II than what we're facing now.
02:48Is that the bar now?
02:50It's not as bad as the worst war in human history, so stop bitching?
02:55I mean, you can dismiss any concerns that way.
02:58Oh, you're upset because home ownership is out of reach?
03:01You know who else doesn't have a home?
03:03Saving Private Ryan.
03:07Maybe.
03:07Instead of shaming the American public for complaining about prices, a more thoughtful appeal might help.
03:14This is short-term, and I'm asking you to just trust the man, okay?
03:19Trust the system.
03:20Let him cook.
03:21Hold on for, like, two to three tanks of gas for an...
03:23It'll be an extra 10 to 12 bucks a tank.
03:27Two or three tanks?
03:29You don't know how many tanks of gas I go through, man.
03:32My wife just joined a Tokyo Drift Club.
03:35Ugh!
03:37She's gonna Tokyo Drift right through our kids' college fund.
03:40But you heard him.
03:42This is just temporary pain that'll all be worth it in the long term.
03:46I'm sure everyday Americans will understand, and we'll take this in stride.
03:50If you could say something to President Trump and he was gonna hear you right now, what would it be?
03:55You are a worthless pile of sh...
04:07Well, well, someone's not getting an invite to the new ballroom.
04:11You know what?
04:12I'm sure that lady was probably just another Trump derangement syndrome liberal
04:16who makes her morning macho with a Ruth Bader Ginsburg wiss.
04:21Let's hear what else this member of the resistance had to say.
04:24And you voted for him how many times?
04:27Three times.
04:28That was my bad.
04:30Apparently, I'm an idiot.
04:32Whoa.
04:34Whoa.
04:35Whoa.
04:39She's a three-time Trump voter.
04:41Just imagine how angrier she'll be when she votes for him a fourth time.
04:46Well, let's move on, because unfortunately for Trump,
04:49it's not going well for him on Capitol Hill either.
04:52Two weeks ago, he sent Kristi Noem to the great costume bin in the sky.
04:57And when Trump thought about who should replace Noem as head of Homeland Security,
05:02only one name came to mind.
05:03That happened to be two names smushed into one name.
05:08Mark Wayne Mullen.
05:10He had his confirmation hearing today, and some people were expecting fireworks
05:13because Mark Wayne has bad blood with committee chairman Rand Paul.
05:17In fact, you might remember that ten years ago, Rand Paul got beat up by his neighbor
05:22when he was mowing the lawn.
05:24And since then, Mark Wayne Mullen has taken the side of the neighbor.
05:29I believe we have a quote from Mullen about Paul.
05:34Rand Paul's a freaking snake.
05:37And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did.
05:41Oh, low blow, Mark Wayne.
05:44Picking on someone with half of your names?
05:47I mean...
05:49Although, to be fair, while Rand Paul does only have one first name,
05:53it is his last name for some reason.
05:56All very confusing.
05:58But of course, that fight was a decade ago.
06:01This is an important confirmation hearing.
06:03I don't think Rand Paul is going to use it to try to settle old scores.
06:07You told the media that I was a freaking snake
06:10and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted.
06:13You have never had the courage to look me in the eye
06:15and tell me that the assault was justified.
06:17Tell me to my face why you think I deserve it.
06:19A lack of contrition, no apology, and no regrets.
06:22So you say you completely understood that I was assaulted from behind,
06:26had six wounds broken, and part of my lung removed.
06:29Whoa!
06:31Whoa!
06:32You had a lot built up there, man!
06:36You said your piece.
06:37Now it's out of your system.
06:39We can move on with more pressing issues.
06:42When I talked to you privately on the phone,
06:45there was no apology on it.
06:46Somehow you think I'm just going to set that aside?
06:48Haven't heard the word apologize.
06:49Haven't heard the word regret.
06:50You supported the felonious violent attack on me from behind.
06:53Who do you think started that character assassination?
06:55I'm repeating your support for the assault.
06:58You have no regrets about being happy,
07:00being completely understanding why I was attacked from behind.
07:08Mark Wayne, Mark Wayne, Mark Wayne.
07:11Think he's a little upset?
07:13Maybe out of respect, just to help smooth things over.
07:17Tell Rand Paul you do not support his neighbor beating the shit out of him.
07:22I did not say I supported it.
07:24I said I understood it.
07:26There's a difference.
07:27I'm not helping, Mark Wayne.
07:31If your co-worker says,
07:33I don't support cannibalism, but I understand it,
07:37you're not trying the shepherd's pie they're bringing to the potluck, okay?
07:41But look, Rand Paul was actually trying to get at a question about Mark Wayne's temperament.
07:46Because Mark Wayne didn't just not apologize,
07:48he also had a unique argument in defense of political violence.
07:52You did many interviews in which you justified the violence as historically justified by precedents,
07:58such as caning and dueling.
08:00What I was simply pointing out is some of the rules that still apply to this body.
08:04For instance, dueling with two consenting adults is still there.
08:09I was pointing out what is still acceptable.
08:11It's been illegal for 170 years.
08:15I'm sorry, does the next Homeland Security chief think that dueling is still legal?
08:21My man, it's definitely not legal to duel,
08:25even if your first name is currently involved in one.
08:29But Senator Mark Wayne, rather than dueling,
08:33may suggest that it's actually just much easier to just apologize.
08:37I've even got the perfect phrase for you.
08:40My bad. Apparently, I'm an idiot.
08:42Yeah.
08:46Try it out. Try it out to the side.
08:48Put it on, see how it fits.
08:51For more on the confirmation hearing of Mark Wayne Mullen,
08:53we go live to the Capitol with Grace Kulenschmidt.
08:56Grace!
09:02Grace!
09:03God damn it, why are you dressed like Puss in Boots?
09:07Because, sir, on this issue, I am with both Mark and Wayne.
09:12There is no more honorable way of settling disputes
09:17than to put on one's dueling gloves and meet the moment.
09:21Okay, Grace, this isn't the 1800s.
09:23Senators can't just resolve disputes with pistols at dawn.
09:27That's a stupid idea.
09:28Stupid?
09:29You besmirch my honor before God and studio audience, sir?
09:36I shall see you at dawn in front of the Sbaros at the Square of Time.
09:41No, look.
09:42No.
09:43No.
09:44No.
09:45No.
09:47Grace.
09:48Look, look.
09:48No.
09:49No.
09:49I am not dueling you in Times Square.
09:53Look, okay, I apologize for offending you.
09:57All right.
09:59Bob's back on.
10:01But honestly, dueling makes sense to me.
10:04A quick fight to get the conflict over with?
10:06I mean, I come from a big Sicilian family, and our arguments can last for years.
10:13I'm...
10:13I'm sorry.
10:14A Sicilian family?
10:17Kulenschmidt doesn't...
10:19doesn't sound Sicilian to me.
10:22How dare you, sir?
10:24You question the results of my Ancestry.com report?
10:29For this offense, there is but one response.
10:32I challenge you to a duel.
10:35All right.
10:36Grace.
10:36Grace.
10:37Grace.
10:38I just think dueling is an immature way to solve a problem.
10:41Look, look.
10:42I...
10:42I'm sorry.
10:43I believe you're Italian.
10:44Grazie mille, Jordan.
10:46Okay.
10:46I...
10:47Gloves back on.
10:48Okay.
10:49Great.
10:50I just think that our Senate is already old and dysfunctional enough as it is.
10:53We...
10:54We don't need to add dueling into the mix.
10:56Well, that's why dueling makes so much sense.
10:58If senators aren't going to retire at a normal age,
11:01then dueling is the next best option.
11:04It's...
11:04It's nature's term limit.
11:07Okay.
11:07Regardless.
11:08Grace.
11:09And, you know, with all due respect and honor to you and your Kulenschmidt famiglia,
11:16I respectfully disagree.
11:19You scoundrel.
11:21You dunderheaded cur.
11:24You mewling coward.
11:25You infantile mountebank.
11:27The gloves are up again.
11:30Okay.
11:30Okay.
11:31No, it seems like you just want an excuse to duel me.
11:34So bad.
11:36Please, please, please, please, please duel me.
11:39You have no idea how much this hat costs.
11:42And I have made a promise to my fair Rosalie.
11:47Before she gave me this perfumed handkerchief,
11:52whoever wins our duel shall have her maiden hand in marriage.
11:56No, I absolutely do not want that.
11:59I'm actually already married.
12:01It's fine.
12:02She's Polly.
12:03Okay, fine.
12:04Grace Kulenschmidt, everybody.
12:06When we come back, we catch up on the latest in sports.
12:09Don't go away.
12:24Welcome back to The Daily Show.
12:25I think I speak for everyone when I say politics drools and sports rules.
12:30For a full recap of the biggest stories in the world of jocks and straps,
12:33we turn to Sports War.
12:35Get ready for battle.
12:37It's time for Sports War.
12:41Brought to you by gambling.
12:43Gambling.
12:43It's God's test to see if you're a pussy.
12:54What's up, ball taggers and teabaggers?
12:56I'm Desi Lydic.
12:57And I'm Jordan Klepper.
12:58This is Sports War,
13:00the show where we are legally not allowed to agree with each other.
13:03So if I say ice hockey is the best kind of hockey...
13:06Then I say, screw that.
13:07It's tonsil hockey.
13:09I've been told by multiple people it's the best kind of hockey.
13:12And one day I'll get my shots.
13:17Moving on.
13:18We're halfway through March and my pee is green,
13:20which I hope is from St. Paddy's Day,
13:22but it also means that March Madness is upon us.
13:25And this year, there's a foolproof way to pick the winner.
13:28March Madness is just two days away,
13:30and if you haven't done so yet,
13:31it's time to fill out those brackets.
13:33This season, though,
13:34some people are turning to AI to create the best bracket.
13:39Not only can AI better inform your picks,
13:41it actually gives you better odds of avoiding that dreaded bracket buster.
13:45What? What? What? No, no.
13:48This is madness.
13:49And not good madness, like March Madness.
13:52Bad madness, like what Shia LaBeouf has.
13:56AI should not be settling our brackets.
14:00Whatever happened to just picking the school with the hottest mascots?
14:04Plus, I tried using Grok to fill out my bracket,
14:07and it just warned me that Jewish teams control the weather.
14:12Jordan, you drooling giraffe.
14:14AI picking college basketball is the future I've been waiting for.
14:18Letting AI write my bracket means I finally have the time to do things that I love,
14:23like letting AI f*** my husband.
14:27Thanks, AI. I haven't had a fake headache in six months.
14:31And that brings us to my slop prop, bet of the night.
14:34Who will Grok pick to win March Madness?
14:38Brought to you by gambling.
14:40Gambling, it's a hobby and an addiction.
14:42It's a hobdiction.
14:45Let's move on to baseball, America's favorite sport.
14:48In 1945.
14:50Well, last night at the World Baseball Classic,
14:53Venezuela kidnapped a win from the USA.
14:56The World Baseball Classic stunner for Team USA.
14:59Venezuela scored the go-ahead run late
15:02and shut down the Americans in the bottom of the ninth to win, 3-2.
15:07It is Team Venezuela's first championship at the World Baseball Classic.
15:12What? What?
15:14America lost the World Baseball Classic?
15:17Something I just learned about four seconds ago?
15:20I will never get over this.
15:23Being humiliated on the world stage is something we do on the battlefield,
15:26not the baseball field.
15:27Shame on America's mostly Cuban and Dominican team
15:31for losing to Venezuela.
15:34Actually, Desi, it was mostly white Americans on our team.
15:39What?
15:40Were we even trying to win?
15:43Desi, Desi, did you staple your wig to your brain again?
15:46Come on.
15:47It's fine that Venezuela won the WBC.
15:50Venezuela's going to be part of America in a few weeks,
15:53so either way, that trophy is ours.
15:56We did it, boys!
15:58Which brings us to our wallet invasion bet of the night.
16:01Which soon-to-be U.S. state will win the World Cup?
16:04Brought to you by gambling.
16:06Gambling.
16:07You can bet on war now.
16:09Moving on to the only thing more American than baseball, strippers.
16:14The NBA has canceled a strip club promotion planned by the Atlanta Hawks.
16:18The team had planned to celebrate Atlanta's Magic City Strip Club.
16:22They said it was going to be a tribute to the iconic cultural institution.
16:27Oh, good for you, NBA, for canceling this promotion.
16:32Don't get me wrong.
16:33I love and fully support the idea of including more women in the NBA,
16:37but this is not the way to do it.
16:39If it were up to me, women would get their own league
16:42where they get to play basketball.
16:46We could call it something catchy, like the NBA for women.
16:50Or girls be hooping.
16:52I'm an ally.
16:53Hold for applause.
16:56How about you hold my nuts in your mouth?
16:59Yeah!
17:00Yeah!
17:00Yeah!
17:01Yeah!
17:01Yeah!
17:01Yeah!
17:02Yeah!
17:02Yeah!
17:03Yeah!
17:03Not only should the NBA have kept this promotion,
17:07they should have gone further.
17:09I want an NBA game with the full strip club experience.
17:12Lap dances in the nosebleeds.
17:14Taking out cash from an ATM with a $79 service fee.
17:18Turning location sharing off on my phone.
17:20Wiping the glitter off my face with a rally towel.
17:23Using a foam finger to...
17:25Desi, Desi, okay, okay.
17:27Stop.
17:30Which brings us to our
17:31making it rain bet of the week?
17:33Which Magic City stripper will fall off the pole first?
17:36Brought to you by Gambling.
17:39Gambling.
17:40100 NBA refs can't be wrong.
17:43Well, that's all the time we have for Sports War.
17:45Join us next week as we debate if Air Bud is the greatest animal athlete of all time.
17:50No way!
17:51I know a salamander named Joe that is sick at hockey.
17:54You don't know a salamander named Joe that is sick at hockey.
18:10Welcome back to The Daily Show.
18:12My guest tonight is an Emmy-nominated actor who co-wrote and stars in the new film, She Dances.
18:17Are you excited?
18:18Yes.
18:20Nervous, too.
18:21I mean, I haven't spent time with just Claire and I together for a long time.
18:27Yeah.
18:27Well, it's going to go great, is it?
18:29Yes.
18:30Yes is exactly what you two need.
18:31It's going to go great.
18:32Yeah.
18:33Oh, I made a playlist.
18:34Yeah?
18:35Yeah.
18:35Cool.
18:35Yeah, for the drive.
18:36Like a bunch of songs that we used to sing when she was young.
18:39Super cool.
18:39Yeah.
18:40And then there's this place we used to stop at for lunch.
18:42So, you know, I'll stop there.
18:43I got a bunch of tricks under my hat.
18:46So, is that the right expression?
18:47I just...
18:50I just wanted to be okay for her.
18:52Just to be there.
18:54Please welcome Steve Zahn.
19:13They love you, Steve.
19:14That's so nice.
19:17Thank you all.
19:18Congratulations.
19:19This is a lovely movie.
19:20It really is.
19:21You wear many hats in this movie.
19:23I wore...
19:24You co-wrote this movie?
19:24I co-wrote it with my partner, Rick Gomez, who directed it.
19:29I produced it.
19:31I acted in it.
19:33And, uh, yeah, I...
19:36Now I'm...
19:36I'm pushing it.
19:38Now you're pushing it.
19:38Now you're marketing it?
19:39I'm doing the dog and pony show.
19:42What we call it.
19:43But here's what I'm most focused on right now.
19:45These are many, many hats, but you're also a dance dad.
19:48Which is what this movie...
19:50This movie looks at, being a dance dad.
19:53Because, spoiler alert, your daughter is in this movie.
19:55It's amazing to watch.
19:56You get to act with your daughter in this movie.
19:57Yep.
19:57Yeah, that's amazing.
19:58Yeah, she plays my daughter.
19:59This is...
20:01There's...
20:01Was that tough?
20:02Making that...
20:03Taking that creative license?
20:04Was that a difficult...
20:05Difficult joke?
20:06Uh, you know, it's really...
20:07I mean...
20:07Yeah, this is a...
20:09This is a world that I was a part of for years and years and years.
20:12I mean, it's like your kids.
20:14Like, they get it...
20:15You...
20:15You automatically go into some subculture you never thought you'd be a part of.
20:20And you're, like, hauling horses around the country.
20:22Or, like, at chess tournaments going, do it!
20:24You know?
20:25And so I was a dance dad.
20:27I was backstage.
20:28I was the prop guy.
20:29I was, like, you know, putting sets on set...
20:32You know, stage and...
20:33And, uh, yeah.
20:34And so this is a story about that world.
20:37I mean, a strange father takes his daughter to her last dance competition with her friend.
20:42And, uh, yeah.
20:44And it's a comedy, but it's also about a family dealing with grief.
20:49Yeah.
20:49Now, when you're...
20:50When you're actually Steve, the father, at a dance competition, at what point are you like,
20:55I want to turn this into art, a.k.a.
20:56I want to stop paying attention to the competition and try to utilize this for my own artistic means?
21:01I...
21:04I...
21:05I was...
21:05It was my...
21:05It was Rick and...
21:07Oh, it was Rick's problem.
21:08Oh, it was Rick who wanted to do it.
21:10I was at the...
21:11I was at this...
21:11This...
21:12This last competition.
21:13I took my daughter to a national...
21:15Nationals.
21:15Our last one.
21:16This is how this all came about.
21:18And I kept taking videos and sending...
21:20You know, calling my friends, Rick and Kobe.
21:23And they were like, dude, this is crazy.
21:24It was at the Gaylord Hotel in Nashville.
21:27Have you ever been there?
21:28I have not.
21:28No.
21:30It's psychotic.
21:31It's like...
21:32There's like a water park.
21:33And there's, like...
21:34There's, like, theme...
21:36They have, like, their own theme, like, you know, like the moose.
21:38And they have, like, a river that goes through it.
21:42And there was, like...
21:42You could have a tour on a fake river.
21:45You could take a tour inside the hotel?
21:47It's crazy.
21:47Look it up.
21:49You're like, this hotel is crazy.
21:50Anyway, I want to do a movie about a dance competition.
21:53There's a movie here.
21:53We got to do it.
21:53Okay.
21:54We got to do it.
21:55What was it like?
21:56And then you're like...
21:56At what point are you like, I want to do it with my daughter?
21:59Well, that was right away.
22:00I mean, once we...
22:01Once the thought came before our brains, we were like, well, this will have to be Audrey.
22:06I mean, when we wrote it, there was no one else that...
22:08I could play the part, really.
22:11And Audrey is amazing.
22:13Now, I'm her dad.
22:15So...
22:17Go see the movie.
22:18You tell me.
22:19You tell me.
22:22She's...
22:22She's amazing.
22:26Yeah.
22:27I'm really proud.
22:28It's...
22:28Honestly, it's joyful as an audience member to watch it, knowing both the story,
22:33but knowing you guys together in a scene.
22:35There's just something so heartwarming about seeing that.
22:37But I have to imagine it being...
22:39I...
22:40Kind of a mindf**k to be in a scene with your daughter.
22:43Because you're going through some grief at moments, some joy at moments.
22:46There's a lot going on.
22:47Yeah, it's pretty heavy.
22:48I mean, yeah, it's...
22:50My whole family's in this.
22:52My son's in it.
22:53My wife is in it.
22:55It was all hands on deck.
22:57It's a snapshot of my life that'll always be there.
23:00You know?
23:01Yeah.
23:01It's great.
23:02That's lovely.
23:03But also for all the other actors who are looking for work, it's sort of a f**k you to
23:06them.
23:10Yeah, like Ethan.
23:11Yeah, cool.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Yeah.
23:13Yeah, I'm glad you got Ethan Hawke work.
23:15Yeah.
23:15Wow.
23:16Ethan Hawke.
23:16Thank God that guy's in a movie.
23:18Yeah.
23:18Oh, wow.
23:19So glad you're looking out for the little guy in this, Steve.
23:22Yeah.
23:23We had so many friends that are a part of this.
23:26Well, it's fun to see Ethan Hawke in there.
23:27I, you know, I think back, you guys were in Reality Bites together.
23:30Yeah.
23:31Way back in the day.
23:34Like, another culturally important film looking at youth culture.
23:39And now here you are playing a father looking at youth culture of today.
23:43How is that?
23:43I, I, I, yeah, it's insane.
23:46I mean, Ethan and I still think we're like 24.
23:49Uh-huh.
23:49Until we look in the mirror and then it's like, what?
23:54But yeah, no, it's, it's weird to be kind of like, you know, a veteran.
24:00Yeah.
24:00Yeah.
24:00It's really strange.
24:01Yeah.
24:01It's, it's, you know.
24:02What has your family thought about that?
24:04You are now, you know, grew up playing some iconic slacker characters.
24:08Mm-hmm.
24:09And now you've, you've sort of aged into being a father figure.
24:12Is that strange for your family who understands the business, but to watch you be a father
24:16in so many other projects?
24:17I don't know.
24:18You have to ask them, man.
24:19I mean, they, they, they wouldn't come on the show, you know?
24:22You were our fourth choice.
24:23Yeah, no, I mean, I finally started doing things that my family could watch.
24:28Where I wasn't like, you know, high and, you know, selling drugs or whatever.
24:33But it is interesting how you go through your career.
24:36Like, you're, you know, you're like, you, you play the, the, the slacker.
24:39And then, and then you're the dad, and then you're the coach, you know?
24:43And then you're the, and then I'll be like the old guy.
24:46Like, buy a ticket?
24:47You know, like.
24:48You know, like, are you workshopping it right now?
24:50I like it.
24:51Ethan and I will, will be doing that.
24:54I'm glad you're still throwing him a bone.
24:55Okay, that's great.
24:56Yeah, yeah.
24:56Yes.
24:56Well, he's in my stuff.
24:57I'm in his stuff.
24:59You know, we know we're not going to go golf together.
25:01Mm-hmm.
25:02Mm-hmm.
25:02We'll be like, hey, we're going to have to, like, write movies and make them so we can hang out.
25:07Isn't that the truth nowadays?
25:08It is kind of the truth.
25:09You got people to come to Kentucky.
25:11You filmed this in your hometown.
25:12Yep.
25:12What is it about Kentucky that you wanted to show off?
25:14Well, we had a good tax incentive.
25:16That's what I wanted.
25:18That's what I wanted.
25:19And.
25:19That's what, you see it on the screen.
25:21You're like, oh, my gosh, the tax incentive.
25:23This is beautiful.
25:24But it's also, it's kind of like the Wild West.
25:26I mean, we, we, we had to.
25:27You know it's struck, it's right in the middle of the country.
25:29It is definitely not the, it's more the center.
25:32It's like, it's the West in 1780.
25:3517, okay, yes.
25:36When the lines were drawn early.
25:37We would do, like, we had a scene on the interstate.
25:39And they were like, do we need permits?
25:41They're like, no, you're good.
25:44Hey, really?
25:47And I had my mechanic tow us.
25:49It was a little movie, guys.
25:52But.
25:52Are they staying at your house at that point?
25:54Yeah, no, we had, we had everybody in our town, Midway, Kentucky, and 1,600 people.
26:00We have a, we had our production office.
26:02All the keys stayed in houses, brought their dogs.
26:04And we would prep the movie and rehearse.
26:08We rehearsed for two weeks, which is unheard of.
26:10Um, and that's why I think it's so good.
26:13Yeah.
26:13Um, and, uh, people fell in love with our little town.
26:16It's one, one block, one light.
26:19There's a blinking light, but I don't count that one.
26:21You don't count that, yeah, I was gonna say.
26:22You shoot it from all the angles, so it almost, when you watch it on screen, it looks like a
26:25town with three or four lights.
26:27Yeah, and then the other light, the other light kept, it kept going to red.
26:29I've never stopped at that light, ever one, not one time.
26:31But it was in the paper, they were like, why does the light keep turning red?
26:37The paper was bitching about the accuracy of the film?
26:39Yeah, somebody said, well, they're doing work, and I think there's a metal thing over the tripwire deal, and that
26:45might be the problem.
26:48You're not making a very compelling argument for local media, I gotta tell you.
26:52It's a Facebook page.
26:55Local media, like I said.
26:56That's what it is.
26:57This is, this is the first, uh, project in your new production company, is that correct?
27:01Yeah, um, we, we also made a, um, a docu-series on a chef called You Belong Here, a local
27:07chef, actually, in Midway.
27:09Um, that, and, and, but this is the first feature that we made.
27:13What are you hoping to do with the production company?
27:14What kind of projects do you want to do?
27:15I don't know, we just want to make stuff, you know?
27:16And, and, um, we called it macaroni art productions because we, it just, we thought, you know, it's kind of
27:23like when you're a kid and you make art at camp,
27:26and you hope it's good enough to stick on the fridge for a couple weeks, and, and we just love
27:31making stuff.
27:31You know?
27:32And, um, but if we could make stuff in the twilight of my career with all my friends and family,
27:39that'd be great.
27:40Well, I think you're off to a good start.
27:41It's a great film.
27:42Steve Dan says we'll be in theaters.
27:44We'll be in theaters.
27:45Steve's on.
27:46We'll take a quick break, Esther.
27:47Come right back, everybody.
27:49Hey.

28:00Hey.
28:01That's our show for tonight.
28:02Oh, here it is.
28:03Your moment is in.
28:04It's a surprising flash in the sky.
28:07Whoa, what the was that?
28:09And a startling sonic boom.
28:13Seen and heard across at least 10 states Tuesday morning.
28:17A boom!
28:18Like that.
28:20Like, bah!
28:23Sorry.
28:25Bye.
