You're listening to Comedy Central.
When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 Minutes a second look
on Apple podcasts starting September 17th.
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm Trevor Noah, and this is the daily social distancing show.
Today is Wednesday, April 28th, which means we are smack dab in the middle of World Immunization
Week.
So remember, be sure to leave out a tray of milk and cookies so that when Dr. Fauci comes
down your chimney, he'll leave you a vaccine.
Instead of banging your mom.
He's the world's sexiest man.
He can do anything these days.
Anyway, coming up on tonight's show, we look at Joe Biden's real accomplishments. Roywood Jr. tells us the state of black shit and why the COVID vaccine could get you drunk.
So, let's do this, people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world.
This is the Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah. Ear's edition. Let's kick things off with with with with with with with with with with the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the world. This is the daily social distancing show with Trevor Noah. Here's Edition. Let's kick things off with the coronavirus vaccine, the thing that's
responsible for the most welcome stabbing spree in history. More than 40% of
Americans have now gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. But there are still a lot of
people out there who have yet to roll up their sleeves. And maybe it's because they wrongly believe that the vaccine is dangerous.
Or maybe they think it's a plot by Bill Gates to replace our brains with Windows 10.
Or maybe, they think Bill Gates didn't put a microchip inside the vaccine.
And that's why they don't want it.
Whatever the reason, America won't be rid of coronavirus until more of these vaccine holdouts get on board, which is why now some places
are coming up with a creative incentive for winning these people over.
Health officials are getting creative in how they convince hesitant Americans to get the
COVID vaccine. The governor of West Virginia is offering a $100 savings bond to anyone 16 to 35
who gets the vaccine. At the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan,
get your shot along with a free museum pass for four.
This is happening right here in Erie County.
The new strategy is targeted towards younger adults,
and the county executive is calling it Drink for a tose.
Shot in a chaser.
Get your shot.
Get a coupon for a free beer.
Get your shot. Get a coupon for a free beer. Get your chaser.
In Baton Rouge, the Shots for Shots program is run by relief, a telehealth company.
Twenty-three-year-old Brandon Bro went to a bar with friends and ended up vaccinated.
Where did you get your first shot?
I got out of a local bar.
It was a shot-for-shot nights.
You know, ma'am, people are crazy.
Like, people are officially crazy.
We have doctors coming up to us, like,
we worked our asses off for a year to develop this vaccine
that'll save your life, and our responses,
Mm-hmm, but what's in it for me?
I mean, on the other hand, there is a long history of giving people free alcohol
for doing stthat they should be doing anyway. You know, you give alcohol to your friends so they'll help you move.
Or you give alcohol to your baby so they'll stop crying and let you finish watching the circle in peace.
So look man, I don't really mind this. I just think they have to be careful not to mix up who's giving out which shots
because if a bartender tries to sterilize your thir..... their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to their. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to their to to to to to their ass gonna die. Honestly, though, I think the best way to incentivize vaccinations is for Joe Biden to ban
them.
Yeah.
Then I promise you now, all these anti-vax-magga people, they'll be racing to get it.
No way, I'm letting Sleepy Joe tell me what vaccines I can't take.
Stick that shit in my arm for freedom! Moving on to entertainment news. Movies.
They're what the rock does while waiting to become president.
And now, there's a new contender for best movie ever.
For decades, the movie critics have declared Citizen Kane the greatest film of all time,
but it is no longer the top-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes,
thanks to a newly unearthed Chicago Tribune review from 80 years ago.
The critics said that it fails to impress with the cane sledding away from the top spot.
That title now goes to Paddington 2.
That's right.
Paddington 2 is now officially the greatest movie of all time.
In many ways it's the Citizen Kane of movies.
And look, if you ask me, I don't agree with this whole thing.
I don't think you can rank movies based on averaging critical reviews into percentages, you know?
I mean, these are works of art. They should be judged on more important factors, like how much money they made.
Personally, I think that when you're evaluating films, you need to look at how it stands up to the test of time. You know, Citizen Kane is 80 years old.
Will we still be talking about Paddington 2 80 years from now?
Probably not.
We'll be too busy fighting over the last fresh water spring
on the barren wasteland that will be Planet Earth.
Now, that's a mark against Paddington.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
Paddington, too, is a to to is a too, is a to is a to is a too, is a to is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, is a too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, is a phenomenal movie. I just don't think it's the greatest movie of all time.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm bitter over the fact that they cut out my cameo.
Why, yes, I will give you a marmalade sandwich, Paddington, but first, you've got to suck my
d-Di-hmm.
Maybe I shouldn't have improvised that line. I don't know. But let's move on now to some crime news. Today the
FBI raided the home and office of Trump lawyer and decaying Stewie Griffin, Rudy Giuliani,
where they reportedly confiscated laptops, cell phones, and a bunch of jars labeled definitely
not blood. Now, we don't know exactly what Rudy Giuliani is being investigated for,
I mean, take your pick really. But if this next story tells us anything,
he'd better hope the feds didn't find
any overdue blockbuster rentals.
A Texas woman has a felony charge on her record
for not returning a VHS tape back in 1999.
Karen McBride only learned about the charge
after trying to change her last name following her marriage. The VHS tapeape tape tape tape tape tapapapapapapapapapapapapap. the tapap. the tap. the tape the tape in the the tape tape in the tape in the tape in the tape in the the the the the their. the the about the charge after trying to change her last name following her marriage. The VHS tape in question, Sabrina the teenage witch.
She was charged in March of 2000 for felony embezzlement while the movie retail location
later went out of business in 2008.
The charges have since been dropped after McBride's story aired on local TV.
She actually believes her roommate at the time rented it under her name because she never even watched the show. Wow. America loves arresting
people. I mean this woman got charged with a felony for a late videotape
return. That's ridiculous. You know who the real criminal is here? The person who invented
the system where we were allowed to rent four videos
and watch them in a day.
You knew full well I couldn't watch those four videos
when I took them, but still you let me take them
because you wanted to charge me a late fee.
And now look, I have a criminal record.
I associate with other criminals,
all because I returned the nutty professor four hours late. Still worth it th though. You know he played everyone? Even the kid.
Phew.
Oh, and by the way, for our younger viewers,
a VHS tape is, it's sort of like Netflix,
except it only held one show that you wanted to watch,
instead of 800 shows that you'll never watch.
Now, thankfully, they let this woman off the hook. But I do love how even after the charges were dropped,
she still threw her roommate under the bus.
Yay, I'm free!
But you guys need to arrest Deborah, because this was all her fault.
And finally, dating.
It's how you find the person who's going to fart under your covers for the rest of your life.
If you like romantic stories about new relationships, well then you'll love this one 35 times more.
From Japan, this man allegedly dated 35 women and told them all he had a
different birthday so he could constantly receive gifts from them.
He was able to get nearly a thousand dollars worth of presents from the
women before they all banded together to report him to police. He has since been arrested for fraud.
Huh. Dating 35 women in Japan is illegal. Weird. In America they just give you a
TV show. And honestly people, I don't know if getting extra presents is worth the
stress of juggling 35 girlfriends.
I mean, imagine having to pretend
that you hadn't already watched all of Ted Lassow 34 times.
So he doesn't know soccer?
Oh, not to mention, he has to be getting gifts for them, too, right?
I mean, at some point, he's just getting a present from one woman, and then handing it right
off to the next one. But let's move on to our main. toeeeeeeeee. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe, toe, toe, the, the, the, the, the, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, thi. th. toe, th. toe, th. th. thi. th. th. toe, th. toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, th. toe, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the. the. the off to the next one. It's basically just an assembly line of re-gifting. But let's move on to our main story.
Tonight, Joe Biden marked his first 100 days in office
with an address to Congress.
And while Biden may claim that his presidency
has been a success so far,
I think we can all agree that it has actually been a living nightmare.
So let's check in on the latest Biden's scandals in another episode of Joe Biden,
the worst president in history that we can remember.
What is one of the worst things any human being can do?
Well, as anyone who watches Fox News can tell you, the answer is,
try to save the planet. And now, Joe Biden is trying to save the planet in
the worst way possible. About to order a Big Mac any time soon, we'll hurry up
folks. President Biden's climate plan will limit you to just one burger
month. They like to have a steak, a burger, grill or barbecue on Memorial Day, the 4th of July.
Or for no reason at all.
Not so fast.
The left with their green new deal wants to make sure you don't.
Say goodbye to your burgers.
In order to help hit the Biden administration's climate goals of reducing emissions
by 50% from 2005 by 2030.
Researchers say you'd have to cut about 90% of red meat from your diet.
Where's the beef?
No burgers on July 4th. So get ready.
You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag.
Call it July 4th green.
That's right. Joe Biden, aka Plantifa, is banning meat and right before the 4th
of July. The day America celebrates its allegiance to the Burger King, that is straight-up
tyranny people. If something didn't have to die for my lunch, then I'd rather starve.
I'll go vegan when you can make Russell Sprout scream. And you know this isn't just
terrible for Americans. it's bad news for cows.
Because they've been preparing their whole lives to become burgers.
What are they supposed to do now, huh?
Go back to school, move in with their parents, get a job flipping burgers.
Oh, wait, they can't.
Because burgers are illegal now.
Oh, and by the way, you know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler. And now, 80 years later, Joe Biden is banning meat? Well,
that can't be a coincidence. But guess what? If you want to take my beef, President
Hamburger, well, then you're going to have to get it from inside my stomach. Ah, yeah.
I'm coming, get it. I'm coming, good, boy. On Friday, we told you about a study from the University of Michigan to give some perspective
on President Biden's ambitious climate change goals.
That research from 2020 found that Cunningback how much red meat people eat would have
a drastic impact on harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
The data was accurate but a graphic and a script incorrectly implied that it was part of Biden's plan for dealing with climate change. That
is not the case. I mean that's fine. I still enjoyed that burger. It tasted
great and I feel great. But you know, so what if that Joe Biden scandal was a little
bit exaggerated? I mean because senile old Joe Biden isn't even running the country.
You know who is?
Kamala Harris.
And I'm sorry that I pronounce her name correctly.
It's a force of habits.
While the vice president is supposed to be focused on solving the crisis of immigrant
children at the border, it looks like she's taken a pretty strange approach.
While Kamala Harris still hasn't visited the border, apparently her book has, her 2019 children's book,
Superheroes are everywhere,
is apparently included in the welcome bag.
Ooh, that's a lousy bag for unaccompanied migrant kids.
Did a local volunteer buy the books?
If so, that would mean the VP is making money from this.
Migrant children get to read Kamala Harris's kids book. It's included in
what can only be called a welcome pack. Propaganda aimed even at children.
She delivers it to him or not not not quite there. She doesn't want to hand deliver.
It's a back back. It's a it's a book. It's a book. It's a part of the welcome kid. No. Yes. You know once these migrant children get. to. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. to. to. t. to. t. to. to. to. to.. to. the. the. the. the. the. giving out, I guess, on behalf of the taxpayers,
paying for it, you know, it's all going to get solved.
Would there be any of the acceptance of this that there is now if this had been happening
under the prior administration?
Okay, this is outrageous.
Commala's dumb children's book is to the today.
That's immigrasse, that's immigration, socialism, and reading. The three worst things in the world.
Well, look, I don't know what this book is about.
I don't want to give her money by buying it, and I have a lifetime ban from public libraries,
which wasn't a jacking-off thing mostly.
All I know is that Kamala is forcing her propaganda on people, which you know who else did
that? Yeah, Hitler. Well, here's some some for you, Kamala. I've gone through the process
of adopting thousands of those migrant children so that I can personally uninductrinate
them. How you like that?
Well, according to the Washington Post this morning, they're saying that it's not accurate,
we had heard that, but they're just saying that a book had been donated to a citywide drive. It's not placed in these welcome bags.
How to unadopt or sell thousands of children?
Okay, that story didn't exactly pan out either.
But I'm not done with Joe Biden, because one of the things that really makes him the
worst president in history is his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. After more than half a million Americans had already
died before his first 100 days were even up, Joe Biden did something inexcusable.
He wore a mask when he didn't need to.
President Biden's highly anticipated global climate summit happened this week.
Biden, the only one wearing his mask.
Does he think he can catch COVID on a Zoom call?
Why the heck was Joe Biden wearing a mask on a Zoom call?
You've got leaders from across the world
sitting there virtually,
and he's got a mask on.
What in the world is he doing sitting all by himself wearing a mask?
He's the only leader wearing a mask during a zoom call where he
doesn't have anyone else around him sitting there by himself. It's bizarre, it's
baffling, bewildering. He's fully vaccinated. He's sitting by himself on a
zoom call and he's wearing a mask because he thinks that makes us appear tough
to the rest of the world. If Joe Biden wants people to get vaccinated, start setting an example.
Take your mask off when you're alone in front of your zoom camera. That's a good example
for the rest of the country. Joe Biden should go on national TV, take his mask off and burn
it. That's right. Joe Biden wore a mask even though he was completely alone on a
zoom call. What is he hiding under there? Hillary's emails? Honestly, people, there's something wrong with this guy. Wearing a mosque when you're alone is
like washing your hands when you're alone. There's no good reason for it.
And this is especially bad for a president to do because everyone knows you have
to project strength on a Zoom call. I mean, that's why I start every meeting
with the sound of me on the toilet to assert dominance. Hmm, good morning, everybody.
Oh, and by the way, you know who else
wore a stupid thing on his face for no reason?
Nelly.
You did not have a cup that whole time, you liar.
That would have healed a long time ago.
Well, guess what, Joe Biden?
You can be a little bitch if you want to, but Ram Paul is right. And this what I think about your mask.
Politifact rated this claim as false. President Biden did occasionally wear a mask during
the Zoom summit, but he was not alone in the room. He was joined at various points by staff
and members of his cabinet. Okay, well, I've got to take a quick break to put up this fire,
if that's still legal in Joe Biden's America. But when we come back,
we'll hear Roywood Jr's address on the state of Black Shit
and the brand new Captain America, Anthony Mackey,
is joining us on the show.
You don't want to miss it.
Save my hoodies.
Save the hood, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes.
It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
You're rolling?
But that's all about to change.
Like, none of this stuff gets looked at.
That's what's incredible.
I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get
your podcasts.
Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
Joe Biden's speech tonight wasn't technically a state of the union, but he basically did
everything that you do for one.
He spoke in front of Congress, he talked about the country, and he even appointed major
as the designated survivor. So it was a state of the union.
And when the president talks about the state of the union, we at the Daily Show offer
our annual response, where we cover the issues that are of special importance to black America.
So please rise. Well, not really. I mean, you can stay on your couch. As Roywood Jr.
the daily show's annual state of black shit address. Good evening, black people.
African Americans and shit hanks.
Wagwan, your crazy white, boy.
I'm coming to you from one of the blackest locations in America.
The backyard with Megan Markle spilled the tea to Oprah.
Tonight, we black people are gathered here to once again ask ourselves the question,
where we is. And let's be honest, 2020 was one of the most challenging years in recent history for the black community.
Beginning with COVID, which frankly is a racist virus, as it accomplished what the criminal justice system has been trying to do for years.
Lock up every black person in America. And COVID was especially hard for black people.
Because you know we love to get together. I'm talking about churches, cookouts, and secret black people
meetings where we decide which dumb viral dance to trick white people into doing next.
The next one up, the guppy. But as if the
Rona wasn't bad enough, this past year we also had to deal with the ongoing pandemic of police
brutality. We witnessed the deaths of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor and frankly too many innocent
black people to name. But we didn't take it lying down. Demonstrators took to the streets,
creating the largest protest in American history
against police brutality.
And so for that, we thank our activist leaders
for organizing.
We thank our allies for marching alongside us.
And to a certain extent, we even think the police.
You showed up to a police brutality.
That really helped us hammer home the police, you showed up to a police brutality march and did police brutality.
That really helped us hammer home the point.
For the first time in what feels like forever, our cries were heard and the police officer
responsible for the death of George Floyd was held accountable.
We saw justice because of marches, political activism, and most importantly of all, those
black squares
on Instagram.
Still not sure what they did, but it must have worked.
The Black Lives Matter movement was felt in every aspect of life and culture in America, including
sports where athletes from the WNBA to NFL made their voices heard.
NBA players even managed to stage a protest of police
violence from inside the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World. That's the blackest thing to happen
at Walt Disney World since the time I got pulled over for going too fast on Space Mountain. But
amidst all the chaos that was 2020, black folks still made major strides. For the first
time in our history, we witnessed a black person assume
one of the most important positions in America. Of course I'm talking about the first black
bachelor. That's right. For too long our nation has been forced to watch only white men get
Climidia in a hot tub on primetime TV. But no longer. We did it, Dr. Kane. Your dream is happening. Also making history
was Kamala Harris, the first black woman elected vice president of the United States. Congratulations
Kamala on your amazing achievement. I find great comfort in knowing that a black woman
is serving in the White House, and I find it even more confident knowing that when the White House and I find it even more confident knowing that when the White House screws something up we can blame it on the white guy in charge.
Kind of a best of both worlds when you think about it.
We must also thank Stacey Abrams.
Her massive voter registration campaign turned Georgia Blue, flip the Senate and showed the
entire nation that if you want to get to the White House, you need to go through
Atlanta first. And I mean to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the to the to they. they. thi thu thu thu their their their th. their their their the the the their their their the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the wa the we, the we, the we, the we, the we, the we, the wno..... I the wno. I the we. I was a the weck. I was a theck. I was a theck.eck.eck.eck. theck.eck.eck.ecklea.ecklea.eck.ecklea. the best best best best best the best the best. the best. the best. their the first. And I mean that literally. One time I had a flight from New York to D.C. that stopped
over in Hartsville. You tell me how that makes sense. It was also a historic year for black
entertainers as their art continued to reflect the black experience. It reflected our hope
through Amanda Gorman's words at the presidential inauguration. It reflected our greatness
as Beyonce became the most awarded
female artists in Grammy history and it reflected the fact that black people are
sexy as hell. Between Megan and Carty doing the Wop and the Pullout King on
Bridgeton, black people have never made America hornia. Well when I go to the
store now those elderly cashier ladies they checking me out and once, it's not because they think I'm stealing.
Which I am.
You know, can't stay this sexy without nipping a few lotions and cleanses from time to time.
Which brings me to the future of black shit.
And what's in store for us this year, while the rest of America gets back to normal,
this is the year black America created a new
normal.
Because that old normal was some bullshit.
I'm talking about a new normal, where cops being held accountable isn't as rare as
getting another Frank Ocean album.
A new normal where I march not because I need to fight for my rights, but because I
need to get my steps in due to a predisposition to high cholesterol.
A new normal where we can gather indoors with family and loved ones, but still tell our
weird uncle that he has to hang in the garage just to be safe.
A new normal where gorilla glue is hair jail.
That's the new normal we must strive for, and that I'm confident we will achieve. God bless you, God bless the name the name of the name of the name of the name of the name of the name of the name of the name of the name the name the name the name the name the name the name th of th of the name th of th. th God bless you. God bless black people and God bless the name of Michael Jordan
Looking at an iPad. I say good evening
Amen to that Roy. Thank you so much all right when we come back the incredibly talented Anthony Mackey will be joining me on the show. You don't want to miss it
When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it.
This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
You're rolling? But that's all about to change.
Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News.
Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look,
starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show.
My guest tonight is actor Anthony Mackey.
He's here to talk about being the first black Captain America and his journey through Hollywood that brought him here. Anthony Mackey, welcome to the
Daily Social Distancing Show. What's up man? I'm happy to social distance with
you. You know you were one of the last people I had as a guest before the
world shut down. I think it was February 2020 and I remember laughing with you, and I'm going to be doing this all the timetime and then everything shut down. The last time I spoke to you, you were building houses for fun with
your own hands. Are you still doing that? I am actually I'm waiting for some vanities to come in now.
I'm finishing this house actually right down the street from my house and then I'm starting on my man cave. So when you come to New Orleans, you'll be to the new th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. I'm th. th. I'm th. the th. the th. thi. the tho' the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I's the th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm t. I'm to. I'm toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cave. So when you come to New Orleans,
you'll be welcomed at my man cave.
What is it about New Orleans that you love so much, man?
It's the best city in the world, man.
I say it over and over, and I'll say it again,
if you look at the history of New Orleans,
like, you know, if you look at the food,
you look at different music festival.
I mean, there's no other city like that in the world, you know, it's the people, you know,
you go into a restaurant, whoever making the food instantly becomes your family member.
You know, it's just, there's nothing like it. Let's talk about your latest success, man.
I always wondered how you would tell the story of the Captain America Journey, how you would tell
the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story of the Captain America journey, how you would tell the story of the passing of the Shield. I never thought that Bucky would be a part
of it. I never, I mean I loved Bucky just as a character, but I never thought it
would turn into the story. But I think even more surprising was how
nuanced the conversation was in and around America, what America is, what
institutions, what the systems are, and how as a black man, even in the superhero position,
your character was dealing with these stories.
Talk me a little bit about, talk to me a little bit about, like, just how you put all
of that together and how you guys made sure that it wasn't just like a caricature of
what's happening in America. Well, I think a lot of that has to, all of that had to do with Malcolm, Spellmanmanmanman, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, the, and, the, and, the, the, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, told.a, told, to me, told, to me, to me, to me, told, to, to me, to, to, writer, he really like went down that road and fought for the
acknowledgement of that turbulent relationship between black men and
America. And you know the question that we came up with, we kept asking each
other every page, every scene, every time we would, every time we would talk is how do you
deal, as a black man you're in an abusive relationship with America.
So how do you fight for stand up and risk your life for a country
that has never given you any love, support, appreciation, or trust?
You know, so it's one of those things where, you know, when we talked about it, just two black dudes chopping it up. You know, it really, and then like Kari,
she is the most down female I've ever met in my life.
And every time we would try to pull a punch,
she's like, nah, we're going all the way in.
You know, so it was, it was an amazing group of people from different perspectives
and different backgrounds to be able to make it a realistic
situation for the character and not something that was made up or fake tissue when put
on the screen.
When you're playing that character and when you even think of this journey of becoming the
black captain America. I mean you know what comes with it like coming the first black
captain. It's safer to just stay as the falcon because it's just like, you're the falcon, you just stay in
your corner and you do your thing, you got your wings, you're good. But you know what I'm saying?
But you know as soon as you take that shield from the white dude, there's a lot of,
you're going to be with fans of the universe, or when you talk about it as Anthony Mackey, like how do you break it down for people?
Well, what's been interesting?
And I expected to have those conversations.
I expected that to be the internet buzz.
But I haven't received that or seen that at all.
Like, you know, it's easy for us to look at the news and look at what's going on and say, all people are bad, the world is going to shit. But the reality of it is, most people are good people, you know, and a lot of people are
really excited about the idea of the Falcon becoming Captain American, what that means
not only in a cinematic universe, in a comic book universe, but in our true reality.
You know, because it gives a younger generation a different perspective and a different way to look at the world, you know, and that that's th and th and th and th and th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the.. And to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th... And, th.. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, the, the, the, the the. And, thea. And, thea. And, toea, toe. And, toe. And, toea, thoe. And, the. And, perspective and a different way to look at the world, you know, and that's what's cool and that's what I'm so
excited about because when you know when my kids have a birthday party, you know
it looks like a damn crayon box in the backyard. Like I don't know what like you
know, but at the same time that's the way it's supposed to be like it's supposed to be a mic America's a melting pop you know. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's that's that's that's that's th.

It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi. I's thi. I's that's that's thi. I's that's thi that's the way it's supposed to be. Like, it's supposed to be a
America's a melting pop. You know, it's supposed to be a microcosm of little
people from little backgrounds having little fun in their little way. And I think
this is a blip on the radar of what that next generation is going to look like,
which is what I'm so excited about, you know, because we're only as effed up as our parents and our grandparents were.
And my only goal by becoming Captain America is not to pass on the lineage of eft on nature
that came from the generation before me.
Yeah, man, I think you do a great job with that, and I think that's what makes the
show exciting.
I'll be honest with you. I want to be in a Marvel movie. I just want to get your guys fitness plans.
Everybody who is in a Marvel movie has a body that just like, I don't care who you are,
the men, the women, you look like, you look like, you look like statues from like ancient Greece now.
That's what you look like. I mean, look at your arms right now.
Your arms look like you're holding the ground down instead of the ground holding you up. That's what you look like. I want to know from you is Anthony Mackey. Can you eat jambalaya? Can you eat everything out there
in New Orleans and still be like Captain America? Or do you have like a, I only eat boiled fish and like
old rice? No, it's uh, you know, that's the hard part. During quarantine I learned a lot about myself
and a lot about, you know, my family and our relationship and the importance of having those people, you know, near and dear to your heart.
I'll tell you what, man, like, you know, being able to like go fishing and social distance and fry fish on your porch every day is a problem. That is a fat. That is a fat mac problem, dog. I was, I mean, midway quarantine. I was like, you know, I'm starting to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to look like to to to to to to to th. to th. to th. to to to th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. thi. thi. that. thi. that. tou. tea. tea. tea. te. th. th. the th. the their their their the the problem. I was, I mean, midway quarantine, I was like, yo, I'm starting
to look like fat thor. Like, I got to figure this house, you know? It was, that was my only downfall
because I literally just like cut off, you know, no training, no nothing, because it was just
me at my house. So I would go fishing by myself, I would, you know, cook for myself,
then when friends would come over and, you know, my sisters would drop off like potato salad
and like everything I'm not supposed to be eaten. That's the reality, you know, so it takes the,
you take the four months, like right now I'm in like the end of the first month or the
four month process to get back away from fat Mackey to a movie Mackey.
Because Fat Mac is real.
What I like though, I like that you've just said that.
You know why?
Because I think I'm one of the people who thought that this was just like, like I like that
you said it's four months.
So now when I see the body, I'll just be like, how does he do that?
And then I'll go do 20 push-ups and I'll be like, my buddy doesn't respond accordingly.
But now I understand that there's work in it.
Congratulations, my friend.
Thank you for always being amazing.
Thank you for building those houses. Congratulations, Cap. Blessing to be in your presence, my man. Don't forget, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier
is streaming right now on Disney Plus.
All right, we're gonna take a quick break,
but we'll be right back after this.
