[ laughter and applause ] according to the washington post, Controversial Alabama Senate candidate, roy moore, reportedly engaged in inappropriate Sexual Conduct with an underage girl when he was 32yearsold.

Ah, dammit [ laughter ] dammit former president bill clinton said in a recent interview that he missed he misses hearing hail to the chief whenever he walks into a room at a public event. But then hes also getting used to that new song. [ cheers and applause ] i love ginuwine. Kim kardashian posted an Instagram Photo yesterday of kanye wests upcoming sneaker model, the yeezy mud rat 500. Incidentally, mud rat 500 was also Steve Bannons aol screen name. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] the inventor of stadiumstyle nacho cheese passed away this week. His ashes will be spread unevenly over a small area. [ laughter ] the National Weather service is warning that an arctic front will be passing through the new york area tomorrow, with temperatures dropping down to 23 degrees. If youre wondering how cold that is, its almost as cold as this. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth and finally, an opera singer recently broke records by singing the highest note in the history of the metropolitan opera. While the record for writing the highest note still goes to my weed dealer, travis. [ laughter ] no, travis. Weve got a great show for you tonight, everybody [ cheers and applause ] from the film, daddys home 2, Mark Wahlberg is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] his fantastic new film, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri is in theaters tomorrow. Martin mcdonagh is on the show. [ cheers and applause ] im very, very excited about that. And well have music from walk the moon. So youre here on a wonderful night, you guys. [ cheers and applause ] before we get to all of that, after several major victories for democrats in tuesdays elections, republicans are nonetheless forging ahead with a hail mary tax cut plan thats unpopular in polls. It would actually increase taxes on many middle class families. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth tax cuts are to the Republican Party what piano man is to billy joel. Whenever they think theyre losing the crowd and people are heading for the exits, they can break that one out, and everybodys gonna sing along. [ laughter ] so this tax plan in particular is the gops lastditch attempt to get something of significance done before the end of the year. And trump in particular has promoted the plan as the signature legislative item of his presidency. In fact, even when trump was focusing on his failed plan to repeal obamacare earlier this year, he could not stop complaining about the fact that he would rather have been working on tax cuts. Were going to reduce your taxes. [ applause ] big league. Big. Big. I want to start that process so quickly. Got to get the health care done. Weve got to start the tax reductions. I want to get to taxes. I want to cut the hell out of taxes. But but before i can do that, i would have loved to have put it first, ill be honest. Seth oh man, hes like a child whos eating his vegetables and cant stop complaining about how much hed rather be eating dessert. Let me tell you, i would have loved to start with ice cream. But first we have to repeal broccolicare. [ laughter and applause ] now, as usual [ applause ] as usual, trump has made a lot of promises about this tax bill. For one thing, hes promised that it would simplify the process of filing your taxes. Of course, if they really wanted to simplify the process, they could just have the irs calculate them automatically. Because regardless of what party youre in, we can all agree, the process we have now for taxes is insane. Its like being out to dinner with your friends and the check comes, and you go, all right, what do i owe . And your friend goes, guess. And you go, heres 58. And your friend goes, actually, its 64 and now youre in trouble. [ laughter ] instead, republicans are proud of saying that if the bill passes, youll be able to file your taxes on a postcard. And theyve even got the props to prove it. Most americans will be able to file taxes on a single sheet of paper. What do you think about that, kevin . You still there . Or is it going to be a paper and a half, huh . Oh, wow. [ talking over each other ] thank you. Here weve got a postcard. Great job. Thank you very much. I didnt know i was going to be given a prop. [ laughter ] all right. Dont dont lose it. Its yours, its yours. [ laughter ] seth later, eric dug that postcard out of the trash and rubbed it against his face. A fathers love [ cheers appndlause ] whats your secret, postcard . [ applause ] now tax cuts for rich people and corporations tend to poll very badly, which may be why trump has repeated over and over another lie, that his tax cuts are designed specifically to benefit the middle class. And to explain his position, he keeps name dropping one fellow rich guy in particular, new England Patriots owner, bob kraft. Bob kraft, he owns the new England Patriots. Good guy, does very well. Good guy. He does a great job. He was at the white house recently. He gave me a super bowl ring. I was very honored. He said, donald, i know youre very soon going to be doing tax reform and tax cuts. Give it to the middle class. Dont give it to us. Bob kraft was down, he was very nice. He owns the patriots. He gave me a super bowl ring a month ago. He left this beautiful ring, and i immediately gave it to the white house, and they put it someplace, and thats the way it is. Oh, great. But he said to me hes a good man. He said to me, you have to do us all a favor. Give the tax decrease to the middle class. Seth there is no end to trumps tone deafness. This tax cut will be great for the middle class. Just ask my incredibly rich friend who gave me a diamond ring i didnt earn. [ laughter ] so trump has repeatedly claimed his bill is primarily a middle class tax cut, but in reality, under the plan released by house republicans, nearly half of all middle class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current roles. And that might explain why the house gop plan is deeply unpopular in polls. 60 say it favors the wealthy and only 33 support it. Oh, my god, republicans, how do you screw up tax cuts . Thats the one thing you guys are supposed to be good at. This should be a slam dunk. Youre not billy joel singing piano man, youre billy joel trying to slam dunk. [ laughter ] so, the house bill is also unpopular. Which once again flies in the face of trumps repeated claims that the bill is actually incredibly popular. As far as taxes are concerned, you see whats happening. Its really doing well. Great enthusiasm. The people of this country want tax cuts. They want lower taxes. And i will say this. Wherever ive been, this has been so popular with the people, who are working to give the American People a giant tax cut for christmas. We are giving them a big, beautiful Christmas Present in the form of a tremendous tax cut. It really is theres a great spirit. Theres a great popularity for what were doing in this country. They want it, they need it, they have to have it. Seth he sounds like hes reading off the back of a porno dvd. They want it, they need it, they have to have it. Hot tub cheerleaders, volume seven. We have a president who has given up on any specifics and is now literally talking in coldstone sizes. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] so how did how did republicans end up in the position of raising taxes on some middle class families . Well, the reason is that the main feature of their tax cut plan is a massive decrease in the Corporate Tax cut from 35 to 20 . That will cost the government about a trillion dollars in revenue. So to pay for that cut, republicans have to eliminate popular Tax Deductions, such as the state and local tax deduction, also known as s. A. L. T. , which will especially hurt suburban middle class taxpayers in states like california and new jersey. And at a hearing this week, new jersey congressman, bill pascrell, made his displeasure known. Earlier this year, treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin suggested that we need to repeal s. A. L. T. To stop subsidizing states. Mr. Chairman, i have never heard anything as stupid from any treasury secretary in my life. Seth you know someone from new jersey is really pissed when they pronounce stupid with a t at the end. [ laughter ] you turned a congressman into rosie perez. Why you being so stupit [ applause ] later pascrell implored a republican congressmen from new york, tom reed, to work with him to fix the tax cut bill, leading to this odd exchange. Come on, mr. Reed, youve been with me on this for so many years. Somebody else. You cant turn your back on these guys. Im not turning my back on them. And would the gentleman yield . Yeah, sure. You know i love you. And im i work with you prove it [ laughter ] seth yeah, prove it treat me like a tiny postcard. [ laughter and applause ] so republicans want to eliminate a series of tax writeoffs and deductions that affect working and middle class taxpayers in order to pay for their Corporate Tax cut. But there is at least one controversial tax break they are leaving completely untouched. Now, think of the most donald trumpfriendly tax break you can possibly imagine. A tax break that seems almost like it was designed specifically to benefit donald trump. Okay, thought of it . Everybody have it in your head . Okay. Here it is. A tax break for golf course owners. [ laughter ] thats right. Theres a tax break for golf course owners, and republicans are leaving it intact. The only thing that can be more beneficial to donald trump is a tax break that lets you claim your defendants as dependents. [ audience ohs ] [ laughter ] so the house gop plan [ cheers and applause ] rolls back Tax Deductions that benefit working and middle class people in order to pay for a giant Corporate Tax cut. And on top of that, republicans are also hoping to eliminate the estate tax, which they call the death tax. If they succeed, it would be a windfall for ultra rich families who pass on their wealth to their children. Basically, republicans want to eliminate tax credits for old people and students so donald trump can leave even more money to the mean kids from every john hughes movie. [ laughter ] how could republicans possibly justify that . Here is commerce secretary wilbur rosss argument. Small business is also impacted by another reform that the president intends to put in, and thats the repeal of the death tax. Its bad enough to have to die, you shouldnt be fined for doing so. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] and take it from a guy who from the looks of him, has already paid that fine. [ laughter and applause ] i cant tell you, how jarring it was for me after my death to get my tax bill. Now, if youll excuse me, im going to go back to my coffin. [ laughter ] so after a week in which their party was trounced at the polls, republicans are defiantly rushing headlong into a tax plan that would slash taxes for corporations and wealthy heirs at the expense of working and middle class taxpayers. Its foolhardy, ill advised, or as they say in jersey stupit seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with Mark Wahlberg, everybody [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks, be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.

Seth please welcome back to the show, Mark Wahlberg, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back thanks, buddy. How are you . Seth im really good. Its really nice to see you. Thanks for having me. I oh, thank you. Look at that. So from the first film, we know that you are sort of the cooler of the two dads. Yeah. Seth you and will i think it comes across in the clip, as well. What about you have children. You had a premiere for the film. Do they think its cool that their dad is Mark Wahlberg . Do they come to the premiere . They did not come to the premiere. Seth really . They basically refuse to come to the premiere. Seth why why did they refuse . They were like, dad, well see it whenever we see it. Im like, come on, everybody is going to be there. Will is going to be there. John cena is going to be there. They had no interest. And, of course, will shows up with his wife and the kids. And theyre all in suits. Seth yeah. And dressed up but, you know, they just didnt want to go. Seth have they the boys watching football. My daughter is on the phone, doing her thing. Seth do they just do you think its that they aged out of their dad being cool . Do you think your heyday of being a cool dad is over . Its been over. Seth okay. [ laughter ] you know, so now im like, i dont make a point to embarrass them. But im not going to try to hide my affection for them either. Seth okay. Theyre like, dad, drop us off in the alley at the school. And im like no. Im going to walk you in, im getting a kiss from you in front of your friends. And thats it. But, if they need something, if they want to meet drake, or they want somebody that they know dad knows or can hookup. Seth yeah. Then theyll say, oh, yeah dad, we think youre cool for five minutes. Seth gotcha. [ laughter ] so theyre not smart enough if they want to meet drake to like be nice for a week leading up to the ask . They just for a week . No. Theyll be nice for five minutes. If they dont get what they want, when they want, theyre just right back to not talking to me. Or its just, you know being you know, kids. But, you know, theyre kids, so i understand. Seth im not that my son is a yearandahalf. And hes just super. I think he thinks im the coolest dude hes ever met. Oh, yeah. Seth cause hes only met like six dudes. [ laughter ] enjoy it while it lasts. Seth yeah, im going to. And more importantly, be grateful that its not a girl. And now mind you, the best relationship that i have with my daughter. Daddy Daughter Relationship is great, but when they become teenagers, something happens. You have no idea what to do about it, how to handle it. The hormones, the emotions. Its absolute torture. So [ laughter ] i mean, watch out. Seth thats really sweet. [ laughter ] yeah, its sweet until it happens to you. And like i said, were cool. But, you know what . The whole thing with the boys and all of this stuff, im just not ready for it. Seth yeah, i gotcha. So i want to ask about this because will was here yesterday and i didnt have a chance to ask him about it. But your assistant did your assistant get a part in the film in the end . He got a part in the end. But he got cut. Seth oh, he got cut. Yeah, and he only auditioned for like one line. One word seth okay. Really hes yelling one word in the audience of the the improv club. We made him audition to tim huttons most emotional scenes in ordinary people. [ laughter ] seth so wait and he spent weeks and weeks and weeks studying these scenes, learning the lines. [ audience aws ] he emoted in front of me and will and chris henchy for like seth so you made him audition in front he didnt have to audition. He auditioned for you and will and chris henchy. We are the producers of the film. [ laughter ] but we basically said, yes. You have to do this. And you know what, he did a good job. But then they he didnt he did a good job in the audition, but maybe didnt do a good job in the actual scene. Seth yeah, so you had to so the scene got cut. What can i do . But i told tim hutton. Tim hutton and i worked on a movie after that. And i told him and tim really wanted to see the footage. Seth oh, really . Did you show i didnt get it in time. And i dont think he would have i think at first he thought we were paying homage. But then i think i realized that he might not have liked it afterward. Seth yeah. We were using quite up to tims standards seth right, exactly. Won an oscar for that part. Seth he did win an oscar for that part. I forgot that. Now, i also heard that so wills john lithgow plays wills father. Uhhuh. Seth and they have a fight scene. And you encourage them not just to go for it when you were shooting it, but to like actually physically go for it in rehearsal. John is a method guy. Will is you know how will seth yeah. Hes a such sweet guy, right . So he doesnt want to say anything to john. So, like, you know, when they had to do the first long big awkward kiss, right . Im like, oh, that was really good. You guys got to do that again. And then i keep telling john, do it more often. Then john is doing it at rehearsals, hes doing it with and then just blocking the scene. And will would never say anything. But i could tell he was getting annoyed. So i would start, you know it was giving me great pleasure. [ laughter ] and then when they started doing the fight scene, you know, john was just like putting him in a headlock. And you could tell will cause like we did 15 takes in the first scene where i had to give him a heart pump and try to revive him. And he didnt say anything until like i almost caved his chest in. He was like, maybe now that you got the hard one in, you do one of the soft ones. So im like, okay. So then john was just torturing him. It was a lot of fun. Seth this also i want to ask about this. Because do you have a scuba background . Because you went to an opening of an aquarium in missouri . Yes. Yeah, Johnny Morris opened this beautiful wildlife museum. Johhny morris is the founder of bass pro shop. Seth uhhuh. And all of a sudden, george bush was there, jimmy carter. Theyre like, oh, you want to get in the shark tank . Im like, no, i dont want to get in the shark tank. Theyre like, no, no it would be really cool. Get in the shark tank with the stingrays and everything else. Next thing you know, im diving in this tank. I mean i literally just showed up to say hello. Seth uhhuh. To show my support for the opening of the museum seth and there you are. Thats i guess thats a little stingray, right . Yeah. Seth i dont mean to say little. If i saw that, i would be terrified. Thats how that guy steve irwin died. Seth yeah. He got stabbed by a stingray. Seth i dont think in an aquarium, though. [ laughter ] you know what . I dont think theyre like really trainable animals, either. You know, like, hey, this one is not a stinger. Thats a stinger right there, that thing on the back. Yeah, thats the little thing that seth no, i think they have to go through a really a long training before they let them in the aquarium. Well, anyway, i went there, were trying to persuade these guys to do this wahlburger partnership, open restaurants in these bass pro shops. Because people go there for six hours and theyre like, yeah, were really into the idea. But now were in a tank, and we still dont have a wahlburgers in a bass pro shop. [ laughter ] seth oh so this was you saw this as a Business Opportunity and it totally backfired. You see what i do to support my brand. And didnt work out quite the way i had hoped, so. Seth did it increase the pressure to have two expresident s watch you get into a scuba tank . Oh, theyre all sitting there having hors doeuvres and cocktails. Basically paying no attention to me whatsoever [ laughter ] seth well i guess thats the thing is and you cant really see out. Seth yeah. You know . And im like, ive got to go somewhere else the same day. Seth yeah. You know, like people just kind of left me. There was one other diver. And they were just doing these signals. And im like, i dont know scuba signals. Seth also, you can barely tell its you. So its not that exciting to watch if someones like, ladies and gentlemen, Mark Wahlberg. Youd be like, that could be anybody. Exactly. Seth you do get a which is very surprising to me, because youve been doing this so long and youre so recognizable. But you do get mistaken for one actor more than other actors. Yes. Seth you want to tell us who it is. My fellow bostonian, matt damon seth yeah. And by the way, your your clip about all the boston movies seth oh was one of the funniest things ive ever seen. Seth thank you. Much better boston accent than most of the people in boston. Seth yes, i dont think im top tier, but i do think im better than bottom. No, its its its pretty high. Seth yeah. Its pretty high. So anyway, yeah, he gets recognized you know, for me and i get recognized for him. But i never tell people. I never correct anybody. Somebody comes up and says, hey, i loved you in the bourne. im like, thank you. I got another one coming out soon. And i just keep going. [ cheers and applause ] its like, i start explaining seth yeah. Then they want to apologize. Seth yeah. They think im offended. Im not offended at all. Not a problem, thank you very much. Ill see you later. Seth you you shot some of this movie, daddys home 2, in boston. Yes. Seth is it exciting for you to shoot in boston . No. Seth okay. Well, like random people showing up unannounced and uninvited. No. Seth oh, right, cause you have such but every yeah, i have a long history there. You know, its nice to be able to see my mom and stuff. But, you know, like, everybodys like, oh, i love boston everybody who, like, went to school to boston or spent a little time, spent the summer in nantucket or the cape. They love it. You know, if youve been there, you know, theres a reason why you want i mean, i love going back. And i appreciate that i can go back. But i have people from my past, some of them kind of sketchy that will show up unannounced. Like my friends were like plotting to steal camera equipment before on the perfect storm. And theyre like, wow, that thing looks expensive. Im like, yeah, its like 250,000. Theyre like, oh, lets put it in the trunk. [ laughter ] im like, who are you going to sell a panovision camera to . Youre going to sell it to george at the store for 500 and a free free pizza . Hes not going to be able to use it. Theyre going to theyre going to catch you. Seth i didnt think of it that way. That makes a lot of sense. Hey, its always great to see you. Congrats on the film. Its a pleasure. Thank you. Appreciate it.

How about you, sweetheart . You know who threw that can . No, i didnt really ah thank you, mom. Seth please welcome to the show, Martin Mcdonagh, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth so happy to have you here. Great to be here seth. Seth absolutely delighted, and i want to get to your new film, but can we talk about in bruges just a little bit . We certainly can. I hear you kind of like it a little bit. Seth im a little weird about in bruges. Im so i talk about in bruges so much that people have gifted me in bruges posters. Thats right outside my office. So that i see your name everyday. Ive never seen that poster. Seth youve never seen that poster . No. Seth no, that was it was a knockoff poster. You didnt get any residuals for it. [ laughter ] someone just brought me bought me a big copperplate that said bruges on it, so this is a movie i talk about all the time. Thats got to be heavy. Seth it is heavy, yeah. Did you, so that movie i guess came out in 2007, yes . Yeah. Seth and colin farrell, brenden gleeson. Do you look back on that film fondly . Oh, very much. My first feature film, and like i didnt know what the hell i was doing. But colin and brenden kind of guided me through it, and it was we were in bruges, which is, as you know, one of the most beautiful, and boring towns in all of europe. Seth yeah, well that it is interesting, because it is a balance of beauty and not being very big. Yeah. Seth you spent a lot of time there because of the film. I went there like maybe a couple years before i wrote the script and it all just popped into my head instantly, pretty much. And i was kind of really worried that someone else would make a film in bruges before i got to, to steal my thunder. Seth wow, thats really funny because not only did they not, but no one has made one since. [ laughter ] yeah and funnily enough, no one ever went to see the movie, either so seth well, its interesting, because i went to bruges as soon as after the film, my wife and i went to bruges, and they the taxi driver immediately clocked me as an american tourist who came because of the film. So there is like a film in bruges tourism in bruges. Oh, really . Seth do you feel the bruges the people of bruges are happy that you made the film . Do they like it . Ive never really been back to check. Seth yeah. But i think the mayor the mayor no, i think the mayor didnt like it, either, so maybe seth oh, really . I cant believe theyre cause see, i want to do an in bruges reunion episode. I heard this. Seth yeah. Id like to seth you would do it . If you want your viewing figures to really dip that would be the perfect seth no, i think that nbc will be really excited about in bruges week. [ laughter ] but so this film, you know, again, because i feel like you are such a great writer for actors, and this film, frances mcdormand, who we saw in the clip, absolutely fantastic. Did you write this character with her in mind . Yeah, this is completely for frances, like, shes one of the best actors around, and id always wanted to work with her for years and years. We met after a play in new york about almost 20 years ago. Seth oh, wow. And then we met again like seven or eight years ago, and she said, write a part for me. Seth oh, wow. And you always obey when frances tells you to do something so thats where this film came about. Seth and she is a very unique character, a very unique look from the clip, sort of the coveralls and the you know, the stuff in her hair. Is that a look that you had in mind from the beginning . Do you guys work on that together . Well, that was pretty much francess idea. She plays a character whos kind of going to war with the town and with the police. So she wanted a uniform that she wouldnt have to think about every day. She wasnt going to coordinate like a blouse with a dress. So shes got this kind of mechanics uniform, and a bandana, but we wanted a hairstyle that would kind of match, and at one point, we were thinking of getting like a skin head. Seth uhhuh. And we did a kind of computerized composite of frances with a skinhead crew cut kind of thing, and it didnt quite yeah. Seth no, yeah. We would have had even less viewers for this movie as bruges. Seth subbruges . You think you would have gone subbruges . Yeah, if thats possible. But and, yeah, but she did have like a little if you see the film, shes kind of got it shaved in the back, but the rest is swept up. So its a pretty cool iconic look shes got going. Seth also sam rockwell who youve worked with both on stage, and in films, seven psychopaths, another great film. He as an actor, especially in this film, hes such a sweet person, and yet he plays both a sweet person, and a really awful person. Is that, again, do you know when youre writing this, oh, this is very few actors can pull this off, and sam is one of them . Yeah, i mean i always kind of tend to write for sam, theres a voice in my head or a character that i kind of identify him with. Which isnt really him because most of those parts have been kind of tough, vicious kind of characters. And as you know, hes the sweetest guy imaginable. But hes one of the greatest actors of his generation. So he can do the darkness, and the bullying, but you kind of know that he can peel off the layers, and do something beautiful with it, too. Seth its great. Your films this film has some violent moments. I mean, even in the clip, we saw double crotch kicks. Yeah, yeah. She was only supposed to kick the boy. She just improvised that whole seth did she really . [ light laughter ] no, i was going to say. cause i think its very forward thinking of you. You dont see women get kicked in the crotch enough. I know right. Seth this is it could catch on. Seth it could catch on. I hope it doesnt. Seth i hope it doesnt either. Everybody would just like you know this is Martin Mcdonaghs fault, all these ladies getting kicked in the crotch. But knock on wood, yeah. So, but you do you have a favorite violent moment in your films . I mean, because you obviously must be drawn to it, and even on stage you have well, i like i dont really like violence, particularly. You know, but there is something that a funny scene in this one where she goes to the dentist, and the dentist gives her a little crap, and he doesnt really come out of it unscathed. Seth no. She turns the tables with the dentist drill. Yeah, with the drill, and a little hitchcockian little moment if hitchcock ever drilled a dentist through his thumbnail. Seth and do you are you someone who feels a certain way about dentists . Ive never liked them. Seth yeah. Yeah. Seth so was it cathartic for you to write a scene where a dentist gets it through the thumb . It was kind of nice, yeah, yeah. Theres a scene with a priest, and the priest kind of gets it, too. So theyre like my two bete noires. [ laughter ] seth so, yeah, priests and dentists. Yeah, you too right . Seth yeah, exactly, yeah. And you certainly dont want one doing the other job or vice versa. Its just not a lot of good crossover. So i want to ask about this as well, you have a show that you had in london, hangmen, youre bringing it here off broadway. Yeah. Seth when you bring a show like that, is it usually the same cast . It depends. Ive brought a couple irish plays before, and they were all brought the same characters, cast over, but they were like four character plays. This ones got like 10 or 11. So were bringing three of the originals, and hiring the rest locally. Seth you it feels to me that you write very specifically in sort of an irish voice sometimes and an english voice. When you bring a play like that over, are you surprised sometimes at what works and what doesnt when you bring it to a front of an american audience . So far its been pretty good, apart from in bruges. Everything else has worked over here. But i mean, i think with the irish plays theres a big love of ireland in new york, and well see if the same is true for manchester, england where this plays set. But and sometimes you have to kind of temper the accents of the cast a little bit so a new york audience can hear it a little bit. But, no, i find the sense of humor kind of crosses boundaries like that pretty easy. Seth some of your plays, and i mean this as a high compliment, are pretty [ bleep ] up [ laughter ] but you ive heard you said in an interview, your new play is maybe your most [ bleep ] play up yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth those were your words as well. I set the bar here. [ bleep ] bar is just getting seth can you tell us what your new play is about . Uhm yeah. This is going out yeah. I mean the synopsis of it isnt too [ bleep ] up, but the playing of it is. Its kind of like a life of Hans Christian andersen. Seth thats pretty normal. But in his attic, there is a little woman imprisoned in a box who writes all of his short stories for him. Seth thats [ bleep ] up. [ laughter ] well i cant wait. But its funny. Seth yeah, no. Look, i expect nothing less from you. And i really cant tell you, its such an honor to meet you. Im such a fan of your work. Thank you so much for coming out and being here. Thank you, you too.
