Jimmy Fallon
And now reach your host, Jimmy Miller.
Jimmy Miller
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Enjoy yourself, everybody. Yeah. Rowdy crowd tonight. I love that welcome. Be honest. You're here for the ac, aren't you? Yeah, I am. Welcome, everybody. Welcome. Welcome to the Tonight Show. You're here. You made it. Thank you for watching at home. That massive heat wave is across the country continuing. More than 200 million Americans getting slammed by scorching hot temperatures. Yep. Amazon already has a new TV series, the Summer I Turned Sweaty. And it's not just here. Over in Finland, they broke a record with their 16th consecutive day above 30 degrees Celsius. Americans heard and are like, yeah, we have no idea how much that is. Wait times it by 50. What is it? Yeah, this type of heat is very serious. For instance, if you stay in the sun for too long and you're asked, did you go to Epstein Island? You might say crazy stuff like this. I never had the privilege of going to his island. There you go. Privilege. Yeah. Guys, right now, millions of Americans are dealing with an intense heat wave with temperatures along the east coast nearing triple digits. I saw some products are releasing special ads reminding people to stay safe. For example, here, check out this first one I saw.
Hannah Burner
Powerade Power through and beat the heat.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, it's nice. Here's another one here. Banana Boat. Save your skin and love the sun. It's cool. Here's another one.
Hannah Burner
DoorDash.
Sam Rockwell
It's 100 degrees. If you want pad thai, pick it up yourself.
Jimmy Miller
Hole that one. Fuck. That was kind of intense. That was kind of intense. That one. Here's another one over here. Campbell's Chunky Clam Chowder. Who the buys this in a heat wave? Seek help, freak. Come on. I don't know what's going on with these. Here's one more. Dasani. Even with this heat, still no.
Hannah Burner
All right, well, come on.
Jimmy Miller
Come on. That's not nice. Well, guys, Jeffrey Epstein continues to dominate the news, and Trump just suggested that Democrats could have planted his name in the Epstein files. Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders are like, trust us, if we knew how to work a computer, we would have. Yep. Trump went from saying there are no to I'm not in the files to I'm only in there because the files were changed by next week. We're going to find out that Trump is Jeffrey Epstein, and he always. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. vance said that Trump has nothing to hide in the Epstein case. Actually, it was a pretty interesting exchange. First, Vance said, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, the President has nothing to hide. And Trump said, damn right. And Vance said, this is a witch hunt and the President is an open book. Trump said, Preach, J.D. then Vance said, in fact, Trump's so innocent, he's going to demand the Justice Department release every name on the list. And Trump said, now hold on just a minute. And Vance said, go ahead, subpoena his phone records. You'll find he never once called, texted, or slipped into Epstein's DMs. Then Trump yelled, OMG, where's my phone? And get me a sledgehammer. Then Vance said, he's definitely not been trying to distract us from the scandal. And finally, Trump screamed, check out this meme and get it trending. Interesting. This is going viral. A mayoral candidate in Massachusetts named Jeffrey Epstein with a G. Can you imagine? He's doing his best to remind voters that he is not Jeffrey Epstein with a J. I'm not sure what's worse, that his last name is Epstein or that he spells Jeffrey with a G. Unfortunately for him, though, he's running against a Jeffrey Dahmer. And you go for this one, guys. Everyone is talking about the Netflix series Trainwreck, and they're these documentaries about pop culture stories that are considered train wrecks. They've done one on the infamous poop cruise and the balloon boy scandal. Yeah, I bet when Donald Trump heard this, he was. Sorry, Trump. I meant Trump, not Truck. There was a typo on the prompter. This is not my fault. Can we. Can we just go back for a sec? Yeah. Hey, Jimmy. Netflix just released a trailer for their next Trainwreck episode, and, well, you should see this. Okay, let's take a look. I'll never forget where I was when it happened. Up until that point, it was just like any other show. Then everything changed forever. The teleprompter had a typo. Or did it? Yeah, I bet when Donald Trump heard this, he was like, truck, truck, truck. There was a typo on the prompter. That wasn't my fault. Listen, I'm not accusing anyone, but from my spot, I can see that problem. The perfect one. And I'm telling you, there was no typo. I saw the word Trump, not Truck. It was Jimmy. He messed up.
Hannah Burner
Jimmy Fallon's prompter gate has gripped the world.
Jimmy Miller
Let's go to the table, guys. Did Jimmy make a mistake or was it a typo? It was Jimmy's mistake. No doubt about it.
Jimmy Fallon
That is absolutely ridiculous. It was obviously a typo by the prompter guy.
Jimmy Miller
Everyone had an opinion. And you gotta understand what else was happening at the time. I mean, Fantastic Four had just come out. Labubu dolls were all the rage. And then this. If you want the truth, you gotta track down a prompter guy. I'm here to set the record straight. It was my fault. I made the typo. Jimmy was flawless, as usual. And not to mention, he looked great in that suit. Jimmy. No, it's not me. I might skip that one. I don't know if I'm ready for that. On. Let's move on. Hey, I saw that the CEO of Boeing said 2025 could be the company's turnaround year. I'm sorry. Could be. It's never good when a company that makes planes has a comeback story. Hey. Well, this is fun. Today's National Chicken Wing Day. I love chicken wings. They come in so many different options. There's original, extra crispy, and my favorite, Nashville. Hot. That's a good one. And finally, at an amusement park in Ohio, a new roller coaster just stranded riders for the fourth time since it opened last month. But don't Worry, they're claiming 2025 could be their turnaround year. We have a great show. Give it up. Ride the roast, everybody. The man in hand at room is grooming, reaching seems to blind and find his way from A to Z and he's the most provoked, loud and proudest shame the rain ever made. When I do that thing the heat is on your pillar. What a show we have for you tonight. He is an Oscar winner who voices Mr. Wolf in the new animated movie The Bad Guys 2, which is in theaters this Friday. Sam Rockwell is here tonight. She stars in the new horror movie Together, which is in theaters tomorrow. One of our favorites, Alison Brie is joining us and we got great stand up comedy from Drew Dunn. Oh, my goodness. And we've got very special guest announcers filling in for our usual announcer, Steve Higgins. They're the hosts of the very successful podcast Giggly Squad. Hannah Burner and Paige desorvo are here. Hi, guys. Oh, come on, come back. Thank you. Thank you, Jimmy, thank you for being our guest announcers tonight.
Jimmy Fallon
Thanks for having us.
Jimmy Miller
Different energy you're giving. Different energy. Yeah. Was it. Were you nervous doing it? Was it easy? Do you feel the audience love right there?
Jimmy Fallon
I loved it. As a former 8th grade class president who used to do the school announcements.
Jimmy Miller
I loved it. Yeah. See what you did? I'm always happy to see you guys. So much has happened since the last. You were here in April. I know. You're a New York Times bestseller. I saw that. Your book, how to giggle. You made the Time 100 creators list of world's most influential digital voices. What's going on?
Jimmy Fallon
It's not. Not because we came on this show right before that.
Jimmy Miller
No, it's not because of that. No. Paige, I was excited about you. Fans were excited. You were on Love Island. Briefly.
Jimmy Fallon
Briefly. I had to step away in the middle of it.
Jimmy Miller
What actually happened?
Jimmy Fallon
Well, I fainted.
Jimmy Miller
You're ok.
Jimmy Fallon
I wasn't there. Yes. And it was just so hot out and my shoes were actually metallic and I was microwaving my toes. And so I said, guys, I'm going down. I'm gonna need a minute. She lost the limb for Love Island.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, my goodness.
Jimmy Fallon
Did they fix it in post?
Jimmy Miller
They didn't, but it was fun, though. Besides that. Besides cooking yourself and Hannah. Did I just read this that you're. You got your driver's license.
Jimmy Fallon
Thank you. This week.
Jimmy Miller
Thank you. No one was clapping. You know, I. No one was clapping. No one clapped. No one was clapping. Yeah. Yeah. You're welcome.
Jimmy Fallon
I'd love to say it's because I'm a native New Yorker.
Jimmy Miller
That took so long.
Jimmy Fallon
I'm 22, but it's. Cause I just don't believe in myself.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, my God. Paige, have you driven with Hannah?
Jimmy Fallon
No, and I don't plan on it. Unless I'm on fire.
Jimmy Miller
It might happen. These. The weather's pretty crazy. Ye. Congrats on your sleepwear line. What do you.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, thank you.
Jimmy Miller
Is it Daphne?
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Jimmy Miller
What does Daphne. What's that name come from?
Jimmy Fallon
Named after my cat.
Jimmy Miller
Come on.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, she's gorgeous.
Jimmy Miller
You crushed it and it sold out.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes, it's sold out. And we're restocking August 26th.
Jimmy Miller
Congrats on that. That's awesome. And Hannah, you're on a comedy tour this fall. Buds. Thank you. None of my business. And you just added November 8th. You're at Carnegie Hall.
Jimmy Fallon
Come on.
Jimmy Miller
All right, guys. More with Tonight Show. More Tonight show when we come back. Come on back. Thank you. Our first guest is an Oscar winning actor who voices Mr. Wolf in the new animated movie The Bad Guys 2, which is in theaters this Friday. Please welcome Sam Rockwell. Welcome back, my friend. I always love having you on and I want to say congratulations on your Emmy nomination. Thank you. Hello. Hey. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You were amazing. Outstanding supporting actor for the White Lotus. Man, oh, man. Sam Rockwell, you were unbelievable in that.
Sam Rockwell
Thank you.
Jimmy Miller
Thank you. It was crushing. I. What was it like for you to have that reaction? I'm sure you heard the Internet exploded.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, I, I. Mike White called me and he said we broke the Internet. And I was like, what, what does that mean? I don't even know. How do you break the Internet?
Jimmy Miller
You did it, though. You broke it.
Sam Rockwell
How do you. How do you break.
Jimmy Miller
Just everyone was talking about you at once around. It's the world.
Sam Rockwell
It's a zeitgeist.
Jimmy Miller
You broke the Internet. It was unbelievable. People were actually making merch with your speech, your monologue on it. You had a five minute monologue in this episode, episode five of White Lotus, and someone made it very nice. Someone made a hat with your, with your speech. I haven't seen that. Is that amazing? Have you ever had anyone make merch of your dialogue? No, never, dude. It was. How did it come about?
Sam Rockwell
Did you, you know, it just. Well, Leslie Bibb, my partner, she was on the show.
Jimmy Miller
Love Leslie.
Sam Rockwell
She's great on the show.
Jimmy Miller
She's unbeliev. Unbelievable. On White Lotus.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah. And her and Walt Goggins called me and they said there's this speech actor dropped out. And so I jumped in and I had like four weeks to get ready.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, you nailed it. You crushed it.
Sam Rockwell
Thanks. Thanks.
Jimmy Miller
And then everyone loves Walton Goggin's expression as you're doing this monologue. Look at this is some good acting, right?
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, well, Walt has his.
Jimmy Miller
In shock.
Sam Rockwell
Walt has his own inner monologue happening. He just doesn't say it, but it's happening.
Jimmy Miller
Good. But you, you've known him for a.
Sam Rockwell
While, since Cowboys and Aliens. Yeah, we, we met doing that falling off horses, drinking margaritas in Santa Fe.
Jimmy Miller
I mean, how fun is that? He's really believable. He's a great guy.
Sam Rockwell
He's great guy. Great actor.
Jimmy Miller
You would tell me backstage that you, you did. You both flew with Harrison Ford. That's right.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, we flew with Han Solo. We flew in a helicopter.
Jimmy Miller
The plane himself.
Sam Rockwell
He flew the plane himself. And as you know, he's a great pilot because he crash landed a plane and survived. So that's not easy to do.
Jimmy Miller
To do that, right, you have to be really good.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, you gotta be effing Han Solo.
Jimmy Miller
You gotta be Han Solo to do that. You go, oh, yeah, I guess I did that. Yeah, of course. He's the coolest. He's the coolest but do you ever get nervous when you're getting on there? Cause he's an actor.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, I got nervous. Yes, exactly.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah.
Sam Rockwell
And there was a little bit of a storm the day we were gonna fly in the helicopter. And so he said, don't worry. I would never put you in danger. So we drove out in the SUV and there was this big storm happening. He said, I'm just gonna take a look. And he went out to take a look, and he stood there for, like 10 minutes. And it was. It was bad, you know?
Jimmy Miller
Yeah. And it was like, what are you thinking? I'm.
Sam Rockwell
You know, we're all talking in the car. It was like. It was Walt, Olivia Wilde, Adam Beach, Daniel Craigen. We're all like, this is a bad idea.
Jimmy Miller
You know, hopefully he says, yeah, hopefully.
Sam Rockwell
He'S gonna call it off. So he comes over and he says, all right, that's it. We're not doing it. Then we did it a couple weeks later. But as we drove, we drove back like an hour, and we got a case of beer and just drank the beer on the way there.
Jimmy Miller
Come on.
Sam Rockwell
You know, Han Solo style.
Jimmy Miller
He's a good hang, man.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, really good hang.
Jimmy Miller
He's the best. And he won't put you in any danger.
Sam Rockwell
He's like, exactly.
Jimmy Miller
I'd never do that to you. Let's talk about bad guys 2. It's back.
Sam Rockwell
It's back.
Jimmy Miller
This is fantastic. You are voicing Mr. Wol. How would you describe this Mr. Wolf?
Sam Rockwell
Well, he's. He's very good looking.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, he is.
Sam Rockwell
He's kind of like. It's kind of a wannabe George Clooney character for me.
Jimmy Miller
Okay.
Sam Rockwell
You know.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah. Your character has a ton of action scenes.
Sam Rockwell
He does, he does.
Jimmy Miller
Is it hard for you as a. As a. When you're doing the voice? Cause you're just kind of, what, sitting in the booth, just going like. Yeah, yeah.
Sam Rockwell
Kind of. You try to, like, do some kind of, you know.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, you move around.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah. You try to do something. Me and Zazi Beats had to do, like, a sparring match, and we would do some bad shadow boxing.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, really? In the booth.
Sam Rockwell
In the booth, we were getting out of breaths and stuff.
Jimmy Miller
It's a great cast.
Sam Rockwell
It's a great cast.
Jimmy Miller
I mean, you, Mark Maron, you have Craig Robinson, you have Ramos.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah.
Jimmy Miller
Daniel Brooks, Colin Jost.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah, Colin Jost.
Jimmy Miller
That's our book, by the way.
Sam Rockwell
Very funny. He punched up a speech for. For us, and it was very fun. He was cracking me up.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, he's so.
Sam Rockwell
Yeah.
Jimmy Miller
How do we set up where Bad Guys 2 picks up?
Sam Rockwell
Well, we're kind of. It's kind of straight time for us. You know, we're reformed. We're trying to keep it together, get a job, keep it clean.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah. Okay.
Sam Rockwell
And this is kind of what. Hi. Jinks ensue.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
The Bad Girls.
Sam Rockwell
The Bad girls.
Jimmy Miller
Come along.
Sam Rockwell
Yes.
Jimmy Miller
There you go. Get ready. Come on now. Sam Rockwell, everybody. The Bad Guys 2 hits theaters this Friday. We'll be right back with Alison Brie. Stick around, everybody. Our next guest is a talented actress who stars in the new horror movie Together, which is in theaters tomorrow. Everyone, please welcome Alison Brie. Welcome back to the show.
Jimmy Fallon
Thank you.
Jimmy Miller
You started your summer off pretty hot. You went to go see Beyonce. Cowboy Carter.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Jimmy Miller
Talk to me about it.
Jimmy Fallon
I'm a super fan. I mean, Beyonce, right? Being at her concert, you transcend. I feel like she is not of this earth. I go. You dress up. My hack is. I get floor seats, and then I dance around the aisles. I basically do laps around the arena. Like, there's no standing in the aisles, but there's no rule about dancing through the aisles. You gotta keep skipping. The security's kind of chasing you. Like, you have to sit down, and you're like, I'm going to the bathroom. And then you just turn down a different aisle.
Jimmy Miller
Keep doing. Just skip all the way through.
Jimmy Fallon
Do really cool dances like this.
Jimmy Miller
I mean, that's. Are you a person that sings as well at concerts?
Jimmy Fallon
Yes, I like to sing, but only when it's appropriate. Like when everybody's belting the hits. Okay, that's fun. When Beyonce's, like, singing some beautiful ballad, like, let's hear her. Let's hear the woman sing.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah. You start yelling over. Do you remember your first concert?
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my God. The first concert that I went to by myself, like, not without a parent.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, that counts.
Jimmy Fallon
I went with my friends to see the Beastie Boys.
Jimmy Miller
My fave.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my God. My fave.
Jimmy Miller
My fav.
Jimmy Fallon
Hello Nasty tour. We, like, slept outside the mall to get tickets. Floor seats. Of course, they were doing, like. It was the hello Nasty tour. So they were playing in the round, like, on a stage that was rotating. And I was so excited at the concert that I fainted like a Beatles fan.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, I would do the same thing.
Jimmy Fallon
And the security guard came and got me, and he lifted me over the partition, and you had to go past the stage to kind of get out. And he lifted me over the partition, and I turned to him and I said, am I going on Stage. And he just was like, no, no, you're going down to this corridor where we're gonna drug test you. I was like, I'm just excited.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah, exactly. So you didn't go on stage with the Beastie Boys?
Jimmy Fallon
I didn't go on stage, no. I got a bottle of water.
Jimmy Miller
Did you go back out and see the concert?
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, yes, I was able to go back out after they truly did, like, you know, all the time. I was like, I swear, I'm just a big fan.
Jimmy Miller
I want to talk to you about your new horror movie Together. It is getting great reviews. 100% fresh on rotten Tomatoes. Come on. That's not too shabby. Crazy reviews.
Jimmy Fallon
I know.
Jimmy Miller
I'm so excited. I mean, but I was reading that your very first movie role was also a horror movie called. Yes, Born.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes, Born. Not like Jason Bourne, but like a baby being born. This was my first role in anything ever after college. And basically I play a sweet virgin who is impregnated with Satan's child, who is a demon fetus that then possesses her and makes her kill people and, like, rip out their hearts and eat them.
Jimmy Miller
It's sort of like, help to nurture the baby and make.
Jimmy Fallon
Exactly. To make the baby grow.
Jimmy Miller
There you go.
Jimmy Fallon
It's Rosemary's Baby meets the Exorcist. But way worse. Really bad.
Jimmy Miller
Did you have to do voice?
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my God, yes. There's a pivotal scene in which I'm fighting the demon fetus while the demon fetus is possessing me. So I'm pulling double duty, and it's truly just me sitting in a chair being like, no, don't. Yes, I will.
Jimmy Miller
Wow. Tour de force.
Jimmy Fallon
The director was like, like, don't worry. We're gonna put a really cool effect on your voice when you're doing the demon fetus voice. So it'll sound really cool. That never happened. It's just me. I'm a demon fetus. I'm going to get you.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, my gosh.
Jimmy Fallon
That's how I did it. It sounded like a leprechaun.
Jimmy Miller
That's not bad. Yeah. When was the last time you've seen Borne?
Jimmy Fallon
I saw it one time. They had a bit of a premiere. My family came with me, and at the end, they were just like, you made something.
Jimmy Miller
It definitely counts as a movie.
Jimmy Fallon
That was a movie.
Jimmy Miller
That was a movie you were in. Yeah. That's all I could say about it. Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
But that was, like, 20 years ago.
Jimmy Miller
Let's talk about. Let's talk about together.
Jimmy Fallon
Yes.
Jimmy Miller
Together has gotten me out 100% on rotten tomatoes fresh. Certified fresh right now. It stars you and your husband, Dave Franco, who we also love. You play a couple in this movie, and how do we describe what it's about?
Jimmy Fallon
Yes. Without giving too much away, we basically play this codependent couple who goes for a hike and falls into a cave and contracts this sort of. They encounter a mysterious force that makes it so that their bodies are being drawn to one another to the point that they start to merge and fuse together.
Jimmy Miller
It's so. Yeah, you fuse. I'm not spoiling anything, but you'll see you fuse together. And you brought a photo of you with some of the prosthetics here.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy Miller
This is your arms getting so.
Jimmy Fallon
There was a day. I'm so glad I made this movie with my husband. Because this day, we spent three hours in prosthetics, and then we spent 10 hours connected arm to arm on set. We're going to the bathroom together. We're shooting a scene where poor Dave. I'm sitting on his lap for the whole scene. Cause we're attached. And this is where it was nice. We were married. We didn't have to. We could forego the politeness you would have with another actor. And Dave could kind of be like, babe, you're killing me. You're killing my legs. My legs.
Jimmy Miller
Falling asleep.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, exactly. I could pop up, and then I'd have to assume some weird yoga pose so that we could stay connected. And, you know, it brought us closer as husband and wife.
Jimmy Miller
It's beautiful.
Jimmy Fallon
Very romantic.
Jimmy Miller
It really is. Yeah. You were telling me that it's very physically demanding. And so I was saying, how do you keep your energy up?
Jimmy Fallon
Yes. Well, so there was this energy drink in Australia. We shot the movie in Melbourne, Australia. I became really fascinated with these ads for Musashi energy drink. But having Musashi. It's called Musashi.
Jimmy Miller
Okay.
Jimmy Fallon
I'm a big fan. Having never really tasted the drink simultaneously. I don't know if you know, but the coffee in Australia is notoriously very strong.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, I did not know this.
Jimmy Fallon
And I'm not really a coffee drinker. When I'm working, I'm a tea gal, light caffeine. So every so often on set, they might give me a sip of coffee so that I could keep my energy up between takes. And I think we have a clip of this is me having a little bit of Australian coffee. You know, I'm not on camera. I'm in producorial mode, keeping an eye on set, keeping my energy up.
Jimmy Miller
There you go.
Jimmy Fallon
Musashi.
Jimmy Miller
Musashi.
Jimmy Fallon
Musashi.
Jimmy Miller
Musashi. Musashi. Congratulations on the movie and the great reviews. I want to show everyone a clip. Here's Alison Bri in together. Take a look at this. Okay. That way's north.
Jimmy Fallon
Okay. What do we do with that?
Jimmy Miller
I don't know. I thought it would be helpful. Okay. Okay. But what if we just keep going sort of southeast?
Jimmy Fallon
Can we just sink for a second?
Jimmy Miller
Wait, no, no, no. Babe, this looks right. Come on.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Honey. Oh, my God.
Jimmy Miller
Oh, my God. Babe, here. Oh. Whoa. Musashi, Alison Bri, Everybody Together is in theaters tomorrow. Go check it out. We'll be right back with Stand up from Drew Dunn. Stick around. Everybody here. Shut up. You're my name. Super hard bop like a superstar. Wow, how they give me car blunt. Our next guest has his comedy special Positive Stuff available on Don't Tell Comedy, making his Tonight show debut. Please welcome the very funny Drew Dunn. Thank you.
Hannah Burner
Thank you very much. So good to be here. It's been a big year for me. I became a dad. Thank you. Yeah, I got an 8 month old baby girl at home. She looks just like me. Yeah. Yeah, she's cute for now, but it might get rough. I think we got to work on that personality quick. I'm raising a real field hockey goalie at home right now. And no, it's fun, man. I'm enjoying it. It's crazy to have a daughter, you know, it's nuts to have a girl. Means my wife has but one more try to make me a rightful heir. That's so recent in human history to be like, she couldn't produce a boy. Get rid of her. That's why it's funny to me. When people try and talk you out of having kids now. They're like, do you really want to bring a baby into this, this messed up world we live in? This is a good time to be alive. Like, we used to lose kids to the winter. I think it's a little better now. Oh, I'd hate to bring a baby into this world with medicine and blankets and stuff. What are you talking about? This is a good time to be alive. We have awesome stuff, everything. We nailed it right now too. We can't even go back in time a little bit. Anything more than two day shipping is unacceptable. We can't go back. It's great. Things are good. We just don't realize it because we're just inundated with bad news all the time, you know, I don't know how people watch the news at all anymore, man. I don't know how they stomach it. All these channels now are stuck in the past. Welcome back to World News 9. Tonight's top story, despite advances in modern technology, there's still an eight second delay between me and the reporter on the street. Let's get down to Drew for the full story.
Jimmy Miller
Thanks, Tom.
Hannah Burner
What are we doing here? We have fiber and satellite now. We could have done this over FaceTime and had a better connection. This is insane. How are you. This slope. So it's always bad news, too. It's never even worth the wait, you know? Like, I heard something recently that was like, microplastics still present in most of our foods.
Sam Rockwell
Cool.
Hannah Burner
Thanks for the reminder. Do you have a way to fix it? No, just bringing it up. Great. Appreciate that. I'm sick of them trying to scare me with the stuff in our food. The additives, the microplastics. You're not gonna scare me with microplastics, all right? I'm a product of the 90s. My favorite fruit flavor is blue. You think I'm afraid of microplastics? You have any idea how many corners of ketchup packets are floating around inside my body right now? I ate a Styrofoam plate when I was 11. That never came out. That's still in the. The microplastics will be consumed by the macroplastics that are already overwhelming my body. If you are what you eat. I'm mostly plastic. I'm approaching action figure levels of plastic, which is fine, because when I die, I don't want to get buried or cremated. I'm getting recycled. Yeah.
Jimmy Miller
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
Just throw me in the bin, dude. Throw me in. I'll keep coming back, too. Can't get rid of me that easily. Reduce, reuse, reincarnate. That's the system I'm on. I think I'd like to come back as, like, a cheap pair of sunglasses or a little water bottle or something. You know, something that'll stick around. I mean, that might be the secret to eternal life. I don't know. Be as healthy as you want. You'll be long gone in a few hundred years. Not me. I'll be floating out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with all my friends. It'll be like a vacation. No, I'm having fun being a dad, though, man. I could do it without the advice people try and tell you how to raise your kids. Oh, don't do this, don't do that. Oh, you know what we're doing? We're doing no screen time and only Organic foods.
Jimmy Miller
That's what we're gonna do.
Hannah Burner
Yeah, everyone should do that. We're doing no screen time and only organic.
Jimmy Miller
But.
Hannah Burner
Yeah, I'm sure you are. Until when? Your kid's never gonna look at a screen. They're just gonna show up to the first day of school like an Amish grandmother.

The whole industrial revolution is happening for that kid in one day? Like you're gonna mess him up. Plus, the technology's already here. They're gonna have to use it. You know, AI is already writing every college kid's paper for them. By the way, if you use AI to get through your college degree and then a robot takes your job kind on you. Yeah, you should have seen that coming, man, because you got to do real stuff, you know? Like, if I found out my doctor used AI to get through medical school, I'm good. I don't want to see you. I'd rather go see the robot. They taught you everything you know. Why do I need some middleman who needs whiskey to fall asleep every night and didn't do the reading? Like, let me go talk to the robot. I think it'll be fine. The only bad part, I think, is you won't be able to lie to your robot doctor. You know, I think they'll see right through you. Do you smoke? No. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, actually. You smoke weed every day. I didn't know that counted. Thought that was like a different category or something. My bad. How many drinks do you have a week? Probably like three or four. Here's a video of you doing 10 shots at the bar last night. Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. Are you sexually active? Yeah. No.
