00:19Hello.
00:20Hello.
00:20Thank you so much for having me.
00:21Why don't you tell the people at home some fun facts
00:23about yourself?
00:24Oh god, fun facts.
00:25OK, I love a fruit snack.
00:26I play guitar.
00:28I like democracy.
00:30Currently single, love KCost, could water my world
00:35any old time he wants.
00:37Did you guys get that?
00:38Water my world?
00:39Yeah, no, they got it.
00:39He could walk through my field of dreams.
00:42Here we go.
00:43He could dance with my wolf.
00:45You good?
00:45So Grace and I are here to celebrate a famous dude
00:47for being hot AF, smart AF, and changing the world
00:51for the better.
00:52Who could this mystery guy be?
00:56Mark Ruffalo!
00:57Whoa!
00:59He's an actor.
01:00He's an LGBT supporter and a humanitarian.
01:02And he's very outspoken about environmental issues.
01:05Last year, he won the Rosewater Prize for being such a great
01:08environmental activist.
01:09He also is going to be a resident at Dickinson College.
01:12That's amazing.
01:13You can actually take classes with Professor Ruffalo.
01:16I didn't think he could be sexier than you have a little professor up in there, and you're like,
01:19hmm, mama.
01:20I mean, that's amazing, but honestly, I just can't get over this picture of
01:24Mark Ruffalo wearing glasses.
01:26Can we just look at it for a second?
01:29I mean, Ruffie is so cute here with his big ol' glasses.
01:34I can't with men with glasses.
01:36I know.
01:37Because it is exhausting.
01:38I fall in love.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Too easy.
01:40Yeah.
01:41He's fucking rude.
01:42He's perfect.
01:43Like, he could do the Sunday New York Times.
01:45You know what I mean?
01:45Oh, yeah.
01:46In bed with you after he brings you Eggs Benedict.
01:49I mean, he cares about LGBT issues and the environment.
01:53It's so on point.
01:55He might as well be a belly dancer.
01:57Ooh!
01:59Yes!
02:00Yes!
02:06Oh, thank God.
02:07I love that last one at the end.
02:09Yeah.
02:09You gotta make sure the ambulance comes, you know?
02:11Someone just got shot.
02:13Someone just got shot.
02:14So, in honor of Mark Allen Ruffalo, yeah, I looked up his middle name.
02:19In honor of him being our woke bae of the week, Grace and I decided to do a tribute to
02:23his 13 going on 30 MJ dance, but here's one thing.
02:28So, we don't have the actual budget to license the song.
02:32No money.
02:32So, instead, we're gonna put these headphones in our ears and then dance to MJ alone
02:37and then he can feel it from Matt.
02:40He's gonna feel it.
02:40He's gonna feel it.
02:41He's just putting out the vibes and the good eng.
02:43I'm ready.
02:43You ready?
