You're listening to Comedy Central now. Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily Social Distancing Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Today is Wednesday, the 16th of September. And here's your quarantine tip of the day. September is apple picking season, but if you're worried about how to go out and pick apples and be safe, just do what black people do. Don't go anywhere. On tonight's show, celebrities take down Facebook. Lewis Black helps you move to the suburbs and Donald Trump attacks the real president.

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 Decency Show with no use. Let's kick things off with Brianna Taylor.

It has been six months now since the twenty six year old EMT was killed in her own apartments by Louisville police. And after months of protests in the streets online and at major sporting events, the city of Louisville has finally responded to a major development in the killing of Brianna Taylor.

Attorneys for Taylor's family say they have reached a settlement with the city of Louisville, Kentucky. That settlement includes a financial agreement and police reforms.

Twelve million dollars in a settlement, a civil settlement for Briona Taylor. But the lawyers and the mom and everybody there making it clear that this fight is not over. They did announce, though, that along with that civil settlement, there are a number of police reforms, including a housing credit for officers to live in low income housing, to live in the communities that they police, creating a program to include social workers for assistance on police runs, commanding officer to review search warrants before the officer seeks a judicial warrant.

Those are some pretty serious reforms for the police department.

OK, there's a lot going on right here, so let's try and break it down in what might be a first. The city of Louisville has agreed to not just pay a settlement to Brianna Taylor's family, but also enact a number of police reforms to try and prevent something like this from happening ever again. For instance, from now on, a commanding officer has to attach their name to a search warrant before it goes to a judge, which hopefully means that they'll be more careful about which raids they approve because now they can be held accountable.

Also, every raid will now include paramedics so that if someone does get shot, somebody is on hand to try and save their life. Unlike what happened with Brianna Taylor, who was left on the ground for 20 minutes after being shot. Another reform is that officers will now be incentivized to live in the communities that they police, which is a step in the right direction. But I'll be honest with you, I can't believe the police are allowed to live outside the areas that they patrol.

You know, you would think they'd have a vested interest if they police the places that they're from. It looks like the president's not living in the country that he's in charge of, which I know technically Putin does with America. But you know what I'm saying? And obviously a large part of the settlement is the 12 million dollars paid to Brianna Taylor's family, which is a record for the most money Louisville has ever paid for police misconduct. But honestly, that's not really the type of records we want black people to be setting.

And the thing that's also messed up about these settlements is that it's never paid by the police who did something wrong. It's paid by the city, which means taxpayers are being punished for the crimes that are committed against them, which I think we can all agree on some bullshit. I mean, if cops are guilty of misconduct, they should be responsible for the settlement. You'd be a lot less likely to play fast and loose if you knew that you were risking your house.

And that's what the police department. This was a big step forward. But at the same time, guys, I don't think you should take the killing of an innocent person for police departments to make common sense reforms. They should be doing this on their own and all the time to install a smoke detector is not while your house is on fire.

So, yes, the city of Louisville has made moves to atone for what happened to Brianna Taylor. And in some ways, this is a victory. But really, the true victory will be when no more families have to get settlements for the loved ones that they've lost. All right, let's move on. From police brutality to another scourge of 20 20 Facebook, the place your uncle goes to investigate the Kennedy assassination. There's no denying that. Although Facebook publicly denounces hate speech and misinformation, it's also become a big part of their business.

Which is why today hundreds of celebrities have teamed up to send a message to the Zuck, Kim Kardashian West and other celebrities say that they are freezing their Instagram accounts today to protest how its parent company, Facebook, has handled misinformation and hate speech. Kardashian West has one hundred and eighty eight million Instagram followers. Other celebrities freezing their accounts for the day include Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. It's part of the stop hate for profit campaign that has pressured Facebook to remove hate speech.

Some have criticized the celebrity Instagram freeze as a stunt, saying it's not much of a sacrifice.

OK, this is an interesting one. On the one hand, I agree with people who say it might not be a huge sacrifice to not post on social media for one day. I mean, for people who have spectrum a day with no Internet is just a part of their lives. But on the other hand, you have to admit all of these giant accounts freezing their posts on the same day creates a huge amount of attention to the problem of hate speech online and anything, anything that brings awareness to this issue, which is radicalizing young men, misinforming the public and undermining democracy is a really good thing because guys next to climate change and income inequality, online toxicity could become one of the things that our society supports right now.

There are fake accounts that exist just to piss you off fake accounts to try and get black people and white people to hate each other. People spreading conspiracies about vaccines, sex trafficking and the Holocaust. And as we've seen in India and Myanmar, even Kenosha, Wisconsin, that started online can easily cross over into the real world. So, look, maybe this one day boycott isn't the silver bullet, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

And it's also good because maybe for a day we can finally stop obsessing over stupid things like celebrities, bird pics and stop focusing on important things like our friends. But pics. So kudos to Kim Kardashian for taking part in this massive event. But if you ask me, taking some time off the Internet could also be good for Kanye West. I mean, he could finally get back to his roots, forget the likes, forget the tweets and just urinate on stuff for the love of the game.

Well, let's move on now to our big story, because while the world is falling apart, there's still a presidential election in just forty eight days. So let's catch up in our ongoing coverage of Vote Qasm, 20 20.

Today's campaign coverage kicks off with Joe Biden, former vice president and your favorite politician ever for the next forty eight days.

Recent polls have shown that compared to previous Democratic nominees, Biden isn't doing as well with Hispanic voters, which is why yesterday Biden went to Florida and unveiled his plan to win them over a new ring tone. I just have one thing to say here.

All right, do you want me if I just have I by John. You know, I mean, I'll tell you what, if I had to tell them every one of these people, I'd be I'd be elected president by acclamation.

Oh, yeah. Everybody get on the dance floor and now keep moving toward the exit. No one should have to see this. But yes. At a Hispanic outreach event in Florida yesterday, Biden pulled out his phone and played a few seconds of the song despot's Seeto, which you probably saw online.

People like, oh, this is how Biden thinks he's going to connect with Hispanic voters. What a pandering racist.

What you probably didn't see online is the context. You see, Biden had just been introduced by Luis Fonzie, the singer of Dispositional, who talked about how the song proved to him that in this country we won't be defined by our differences. And then people took the clip out of context and were like, oh, no, we are definitely defined by our differences. And look, I expect the Internet to shake clips out of context. But then President Trump went ahead and shed a manipulated version of that clip, which made it seem like Biden actually played the police on his phone, which will probably bump up Biden's popularity on the left.

But I don't think that's what Trump was going for. And once again, this is a reminder, before you get angry about anything that you see online, just take it day by SEATO. Now, Trump hasn't just been spending his time spreading misinformation on Twitter because while Biden is looking to shore up Hispanic voters, Trump has been making a play for a demographic that he's been struggling with, people who don't want to die from coronavirus, which is why last night the president of the United States and Hooches Diamond Club member took the rare step of sitting down for a town hall that was not hosted by Fox News.

And it seems like he might be just a little rusty.

Taking questions from a less than adoring audience, the wearing a mask has proven to lessen the spread of covid. Why don't you support a mandate from national mask wearing? And why don't you wear a mask more often?

Well, I do wear them when I have to and want them in hospitals, in other locations. By the way, a lot of people don't want to wear masks. There are a lot of people think the masks are not good and there are a lot of people that as an example, you have those people. I'll tell you who those people are, waiters. They come over and they serve you and they have a mask. And I saw it the other day where they were serving me and they're playing with a mask.

I'm not blaming them. I'm just saying what happens? They're playing with a mask. So the mask is over and they're touching it and then they're touching the plate. That can't be good. The concept of a mask is good, but it also does. You're constantly touching it. You're touching your face. You're touching plates. There are people that don't think masks are good.

OK, no, I'm sorry, guys, but I'm calling bullshit on this. First of all, the people in the window at McDonald's are called waiters. All right. Secondly, why is the president of a country with one of the highest Korona death rates in the world still giving people room to doubt mosques? It's so weird because Trump's followers will do anything he says. So why doesn't he just tell them to wear masks? Masks are great for protecting your health and you save precious time by not running the lower part of your face.

Also, I'm really struggling to understand Trump's logic here because he's worried about a way to breathing into their mosque, then touching the mosque, then touching the plate, then giving Trump the plates, and then Trump touching the plate and then touching his mouth. But Trump isn't worried about the weight to just breathing directly into Trump's mouth. Here's your order, sir.

I mean, basically, Trump is ignoring the immediate threats to focus on a far less likely threat.

If an asteroid was coming towards the Earth, Trump would be like, don't blow it up.

One of the pieces might fall into my mouth and I'll choke on it.

Oh, and just when you thought Trump's answer on mosques couldn't get any worse, wait until you hear who he blamed for the fact that more people aren't wearing them.

But I will say this. They said at the Democrat convention they're going to do a national mandate. They never did it because they've checked out and they didn't do it. And it's a good question. As you ask, like Joe Biden, they said we're going to do a national mandate on this. Hold on. All governors to have them. It is a state. But he he didn't do it. I mean, he never did it.

Yeah. Trump has a good point. Why hasn't Joe Biden instituted a national mosque mandate and don't say it's because he's not the president and doesn't have any power. That's not an excuse. Guess what, Donald? There's only one man responsible for fixing all of America's problems. And it's not Joe Biden. Jared Kushner.

Look, guys, between this and blaming riots on Joe Biden, even Trump is delusional or he's slowly trying to Jedi mind trick America into thinking that Biden has been president this whole time, guys.

If you want four more years of this disaster, by all means, re-elect President Biden. You saw crazy. It was maybe this time you should pick an outsider.

Hey, maybe I should start pulling this move. Just blaming shit on people who have nothing to do with anything, you know, just walking into a 7-Eleven like you guys did and set my DVR last night.

And now I miss Game seven.

Now, I know a lot of you haters out there say the Trump doesn't know what he's doing. And because of that, a lot of people are going to die. That's not true. A lot of people are going to die because Trump does know what he's doing and we are going to be OK, we're going to be OK. And it is going away. And it's probably going to go away now a lot faster because of the vaccine. It would go away without the vaccine, George, but it's going to go away a lot faster.

Would go away without the vaccine. Sure. Over a period of time. Sure. With time it goes many deaths and you'll develop you'll develop like a herd mentality. It's going to be it's going to be heard developed. And that's going to happen. That will all happen.

OK, there's a lot of things going on here that are funny. Firstly, you can tell that he knows herd mentality is wrong, but he can't remember the right word. So then he tries herd developed, which is also wrong. And you can see in his head he's just going through all the herd herd mentality, herd developed, heard it through the grapevine. Obviously the phrase Trump was trying to find was herd immunity.

And what's funny about that is that for America to reach herd immunity, a couple million people would have to die, which I guess is one way to defeat the virus.

So those are the latest updates from the campaign trail. One candidates through willful ignorance is going to be the reason hundreds of thousands of Americans die.

And the other candidates played a song on his phone. So I don't know, guys. I can see why this is a tough call. All right. We need to take a quick break. But when we come back, Lewis Black will help you move to the suburbs.

Don't go away. Hello, we want to tell you about a podcast from Head Gum that we really think you're going to love. It's called Newcomer's The Lord of the Rings with me, Lauren Lackas and me, Nicole Byer.

Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. You know, with all the craziness of 20, 20 news stories of falling through the cracks more than ever. Luckily for us, Lewis Black catches them for a segment we call back in black.

New York City, it is American, is spitting on an apple pie, but as much as I love New York, I also love not dying of covid-19.

Which is why I've temporarily relocated to suburban Pennsylvania. It's weird out here, even there Jews are Christian. I don't get it, but I'm not the only one decamping to greener pastures.

A lot of my fellow cowards have had the same idea trend we're seeing in the age of covid-19 people packing up their things and moving to the country.

The suburbs near New York are booming. In July, home sales were up 44 percent compared to last year, while the number of properties sold in Manhattan dropped by more than half. That's right.

New York loses a lot of its appeal when you can no longer do all the things you used to do for fun, like paying forty dollars for a sandwich or going to the garden to watch the Knicks lose. And what's the point of exposing myself in public if I have to wear a mask? But the suburbs have their own rules and own customs that might be strange to newcomers. So to help my fellow city folk, I want to give some tips for adjusting to life as a suburban refugee.

I know in the city, most of your interaction with people is calling them assholes, but here in the suburbs you have to be nice to everyone. So you're the asshole. For example, when you see your neighbors say, hey, Bob, how's the golf game going instead of, hey, Bob, what's the deal looking at? Also, if you see someone laying in the middle of the street passed out, you have to help them. Apparently just stepping over them like a human bottle is not a normal thing around here.

So now that you got that, let's move on to tip number two.

The only people out walking in the suburbs are hikers and drug dealers. And you don't want to be mistaken for a hiker.

So instead, go by the biggest SUV you can find. You want a vehicle with the same specs the army uses in Afghanistan. You never know when a trip to Williams-Sonoma can go sideways. Then once you have your personal tank, drive that everywhere, drive it to the grocery store, the part the end of the driveway to get your mail and then buy Formula One for every one in the family. And if you don't have a family, buy one of those two, you'll need them where all the SUV.

Don't don't forget to invite Ellen to your Tupperware party. I know she talks too much about her sciatica, but she's the de facto leader of the homeowners association. And if you piss her off, good luck getting approval for your new mailbox. You've got to get in good with the right people. Which brings me to tip number four.

Oh, yeah. You got to believe they have gangs out here. But instead of the Bloods, the Crips, they're called things like the PTA or book club in there a thousand times more vicious. Last month, Susan didn't finish with a crawdad singing time and now she's dead.

Don't forget sports cars, a clean, well manicured lawn is how people in the suburbs measure their dicks. Did you know you're supposed to mow your yard every week? Well, I'd never have moved out here if I knew I had to give Mother Nature Brazillian. But you got to do it because the height of your grass is how the neighbors know the kind of person you are.

Three inches long. You're a pillar of the community, four inches.

You're dealing with some stuff and you need to get your act together. Five inches. That missing fifth grader is in your basement. So follow these tips, and the only problem you'll have with suburban life will be the crushing loneliness. And hey, if you ever missed the city, just do what I do. Sprits the air with a bottle of urate.

Smells like home. Back to you, Trevor. Thank you so much for that, Lewis. It's time for us to take a short break. But when we come back, I'll be talking to Senator Jon Tester about how Democrats can compete in Trump country after that. Big Sean also joins us on the show.

Don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I spoke with Jon Tester. He's a third term Democratic senator from Montana. We talked about his new memoir and his ideas for how Democrats can win back white rural voters. Check it out. Send the tester. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.

It is great to be with you virtually. You are one of the most interesting politicians in America because you are an organic farmer, a seasoned butcher, and you are the senator of a deep red states. You know, you voted against Neil Gorsuch. You you have stood up to many of Donald Trump's decisions and yet people still vote for you. So are you a sign that America isn't as polarized as people think, or is your winning an exception to the rule?

Look, I think the country is more polarized than it's ever been, certainly in my 64 years on this Earth, but I still think we have far more in common than we have differences. And I think that the key is, is to bring people together. And that's not something that Donald Trump has done. He tends to divide us a lot more than bring us together. But the truth is, I think if we come together and we have good, honest conversations and we have a good debate and we compromise, we can come up with solutions.

And by the way, that's the way it's work from the beginning of time in this nation. It's what made us the greatest country on earth and we can do it again.

OK, let's put that to the test. One of the biggest problems America is facing right now is the coronavirus and specifically what to do with schools. You are in a unique position where you're not just a lawmaker, but you are a former teacher who was a member of the school board. So you've been in the trenches. What do you think America needs to do with regards to opening the schools, the when and the how?

Look, in my small town, what I would have recommended if I was on a school board is that we use every facility that we could to social distance those kids and keep those teachers safe and keep those kids safe. I'm talking about using everything from community halls, the church basements to every meeting place there is. Now, I know it's going to cost a few more bucks to get it clean and make sure it's safe. But the truth is, is that I think, you know, things like wearing masks and being socially dist.

are things that really can help stop the spread of this virus. And I think that if I was a parent, school board member, teacher, even a student, I'd be saying, hey, let's look how we can best social distance. And I think that's really that's really the key. You don't I don't I don't agree in stopping school. And I think people need to get back to a normal way of life. But we need to let science science be our guide.

And I think that's what is critically important.

Your book is entitled Grounded A Senator's Lessons on Winning Back Rural America. And it's really interesting that you say winning back rural America. Do you feel that Democrats have lost white rural voters? And how do you think they can begin winning them?

Back when I was growing up, the area I live in, north central Montana, had a whole heck of a lot of Democrats in it that started disappearing in the 70s and continued in the 80s and 90s. And now there's not many Democrats left in it. The fact is, is we need to listen like we've got big issues out there. Treva, you know that. I mean, issues around climate change and health care. And and the fact is, is that we can bring everybody along if if if, in fact, we talked to them and listen to them and find that common ground.

Look, I think the reason climate change, for example, is so very, very difficult in my area, in my town is because people are afraid that any changes we might make might put them out of business. So let's see what changes we can make that will make their business better and not put them out of business.

You know, as an experienced farmer, you yourself have conceded the fact that Donald Trump has done a good job of making farmers believe that he is on their side. Recently, you filibustered the covid bill that would have allocated 20 billion dollars to help farmers. And as a farmer, it feels like you would have a really soft spot in your heart for all farmers who are struggling through this period.

Farmers are very, very important. Trust me, I'm one of them. We work at feeding the world. That is a fact. But the truth is it has to be much more comprehensive than that. If we're going to get a bill to pass that actually helps turn this economy around, not only for farmers, but for everybody, for working folks, for small businesses, the whole the whole thing's every bill you work on has positive and negative things to it.

The problem with the one that that we voted down or filibustered last week was there just wasn't much there. There there was a little bit of there there for farmers.

But the truth is, is that there needs to be there needs to be more. This is a big deal, this covid-19 and our economy is suffering greatly for it. And it's not just agriculture, by the way. Hospitality sector and other sectors are getting pounded. And the other thing I would point out to farmers is that we need somebody that knows how to get trade policies that work without exports. Farmers are dead in the water. And long before covid came to the United States was in trade wars that really hurt production, agriculture, both grains and pulses and livestock and beef and pork.

So we've got a lot more work to do to help out the family farms in this nation. One last question.

When you look at the upcoming election, it is no secret that Joe Biden's biggest challenge is going to be wrestling those votes who maybe voted for Obama and then moved to Trump and are now in some ways up in the air. As a politician who many see as a D.C. outsider, the man who they say pays 11 dollars for his flat top and no more than that, what advice would you give to the Biden campaign on how to communicate with bringing some of these voters back into the fold?

It's pretty it's pretty straightforward. Be honest, be authentic and show up. I know Joe Biden. Joe Biden is straight up. He's a working class guy. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's he's worked for everything he's got. He needs to tell that story to rural America. And and if he tells them and looks them in the eye when he says it, I think he'll get a lot more votes than our previous candidate did.

Senator Tester. Thank you so much for joining us on the show. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much again, Senator.

All right. When we come back, I'll be talking with the man himself, Big Sean, about his brand new album.

So stick around. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I spoke with the Grammy nominated multi platinum artist, Big Sean. We talked about his new album, Detroit, too, which has gone to the top of the charts. Welcome. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Good to have you back on the show in a very different way. Yeah. And I appreciate it. And congratulations. I feel like the last time you came on the show, you had your album out and you were at the top of the Billboard charts.

Detroit, too, just dropped. And you have debuted at number one. Congratulations.

Thank you so much, man. Thank you so much. And honestly, it means a lot to debut like that. But for me, it was already number one just because of what I wanted to put in the music and the impact that I wanted to make for the people who are who are ready for that. So that that that actual number one was just like a cherry on top for sure.

Listening to it. I was I was really intrigued by the journey that you take us on. It's an emotional journey. You talk about America's health care system, you talk about religion. You talk about your own anxiety and depression as a human being. I mean, this is not something you normally hear rappers rapping about, like it's a very vulnerable album. But at the same time, it's not weak. It's a really delicate balance. Why did you feel the need to make an album that is so vulnerable?

Honestly, it wasn't even by choice. It was just what was in my heart at the time. You know, I feel like I got to a point in my career. I you know, I feel like whenever you do something for ten years plus your passion starts to change for it. It's not the same hunger that you had when you first got into it. And I was experiencing that and I was experiencing all this anxiety and depression and I didn't know why.

I was like, let me focus on me. And, you know, I did therapy. I spiritually really, really got my spiritual connection stronger and that foundation stronger. And in doing that, like throughout a meditation, as I was doing, one of the things that I that I did was visualize and go back to when I was 15 or when I was 19 and twenty one, and when I when I was sleeping in a studio like, wow, why was I so passed?

Like, why did I do that and. It helped me return back to the essence of that, but as in as as a new as a new as a new me, though at the same time, you know, and it's something that has helped me rediscover myself. And when I really ask myself, what's my passion? What's my purpose? It was like my real purpose is to inspire. Right. So. The best way I can do that is through the music.

And when I did that, when I said that, that's when all the honesty really started coming through because it was like, OK, I may have to sacrifice my privacy, but it's going to help somebody and it's going to inspire some somebody and lift them up. And that's what I needed. I needed inspiration and motivation. So that was my whole goal.

I feel like you I feel like you've done that time and time again throughout this album. I think there's a reason it's number one right now on the charts is because, you know, it's not just great music, but it connects to what many people are going through, especially during these times. One of my favorite lyrics is in deep reverence. When you say in high school, they taught me about chemistry and biology, but they didn't teach me how to deal with anxiety.

Right. And that really hit me because like in the world, if you think about it, no one teaches you how to deal with a lot of these things. We don't learn this in school. We don't focus on this in society. Do you think that that's something you're going to be pushing a lot more going forward? Is trying to get people to deal openly with anxiety and depression and anything else they may be dealing with?

I mean, I don't apply everything I learned in physics or the trigonometry. I had to learn all these things. It's like so I think they need to really incorporate that into the health class because mental health is your health. You know, it is called mental health to speak to to specifically point that part of the health out. But I don't say like, hey, my hand health is good today or my health is really strong today is like to me is all health.

So that needs to be incorporated on how to deal with anxiety, how to deal with depression, and also things like taxes. Like all the things I learned in school, especially on a math class, I needed to learn more about taxes and all those things.

Man, when you look at what makes this album good, you have Kanye West is one of the executive producers you've got featuring. You've got like Eminem. You know, you've got Postum alone. You got Diddy on, you got Erykah Badu, you got Stevie Wonder, you even got Dave Chappelle. Yeah. And that's got an interesting back story to it. You know, I mean, the artists we know. But what what is your connection with Dave Chappelle?

How did he get onto the album, bro?

So Dave Chappelle, I ran into him, happened off of a plane and like five a.m. he walks up to me and he's like, Yo, bro, I love your dad, man. I love your music, but I love your dad. I'm like, what? Like, I thought I was in a twilight zone for real. And I remember I immediately went back to a conversation I had with my dad a few months ago, and he was like, yo, I was backstage, Dave Chappelle's Show, man, yo son, he loves you.

Like, I was really kicking it with him. And my dad kind of can exaggerate things sometimes.

So I'm just sitting there like, so I had to call my dad and be like, Yo bro, like, not bro, but your dad, like, my bad, you know, I didn't know that you really, like, made an impact on Dave Chappelle. And then I told Dave that I was working on the Detroit album for Detroit. And, you know, he was like, bro, not only will I do a story for you, he was like, I would open up for you at a show, man.

And like, did you donate my whole proceeds? Like for him to be that that real and that human? You know, I just appreciate him for that. So all the stories and like features, man, they were very, very like organic. It was it wasn't anything forced or any favors done. It was just all out of love.

It's been three years since your previous album. It's been three years of Big Sean living his life. It's been three years of you growing as an artist. What do you think has been the biggest change?

I feel like I'm still learning and still going through it. You know, I feel like it's a journey, but to me, too big is. I guess the biggest transformation that has happened since my last album is that. I've been able to listen to my gut, listen to my heart and walk and my purpose, and I think that when you walk on purpose. You know, happiness. Is it something that you see every day and something that you can help, especially in a time where we need it the most, especially in a time where the world is on fire, especially in a time where we lose, we're losing heroes in real life and losing a role models and people who has so much more life to give us.

I think it's important that we all rise up and be the best version that we can be of ourselves.

I think you've done that and I think you've done it in the music. I think you do it in your life. I appreciate you and Big Sean, thanks for joining us on the show. Yes, sir. Please, bro. Well, that's our show for tonight.

But before we go, I wanted to remind you that the West Coast is currently battling some horrific wildfires that are destroying millions of acres of land and displacing thousands of people. Climate change has been a key factor in increasing the risk and the extent of these conditions. One organization that has been working to find practical solutions for environmental change is the Environmental Defense Fund until tomorrow. Stay safe out there. Wear a mask and remember, wash your hands after up on your Grammy.
