Ditka said, there has been no oppression in the last 100 years that i know of. If you dont respect our country, then you shouldnt be in this country playing football.

Seth you watch scandal and pretend youre olivia pope. [ light laughter ] yep. And what is my favorite food . Seth your favorite food is margaritas. [ laughter ] correct. And what is it like to be a black person in america . Seth that is not something i as a white person am qualified to talk about. But [ cheers and applause ] from what i can glean, not great . [ light laughter ] that is the correct answer and if you think things are going great for black people, youre on daawrong side of history [ laughter ] mike ditka, what do you know about oppression . You won one super bowl in 1986, and they gave you your own steakhouse [ light laughter ] Charles Barkley was one of the greatest basketball players of alltime and all he got was fat [ laughter ] you think no bad things have happened to black people for 100 years . Charlottesville happened this summer and then, again, three days ago ditka also said, if you want to kneel during the National Anthem, you should go to another country and play football. What other country . Were the only ones dumb enough to spend our sundays wearing tights and giving each other brain damage. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] look, jerry jones threatened to bench players who protest the National Anthem. That is a white Man Threatening his black players with punishment if they exercise their right to free speech which can be found in daaconstitution [ cheers and applause ] daaconstitution.

Daaend [ cheers and applause ] seth daaend amber ruffin, everybody [ cheers and applause ] President Trump gave an exclusive interview to forbes and teased a new Economic Development bill that he says is both a carrot and a stick.

[ cheers and applause ] hes starring in the new film, goodbye Christopher Robin. Hes a fantastic actor. Domhnall gleeson is here. [ cheers and applause ] and her first novel, the talented ribkins, is fantastic. Ladee hubbard joins us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] so, youre here on a good one. Before we get to all that, you know, im in my 40s now. Im married, i have a child. But nothing, and i mean nothing, makes me feel older than when i dont know the new slang terms that teenagers are using. And it seems like these teen slang terms, these new ones are evolving so fast, its hard to keep up. So as a service to you, we decided to give you a little primer on new teen slang in a segment we call seth explains teen slang. [ cheers and applause ] seth our first new teen slang term is field trippin. This is when you take drugs during a class trip. [ laughter ] for example, im pretty sure jeffs field trippin because he just walked up to a diorama and told the cave woman her eyebrow game is on fleek. [ light laughter ] our next term is garymandering. This is when you rearrange the seats in the cafeteria in such a way that gary cant sit at your table. [ laughter ] for example, garys new retainer makes him spit when he chews, so we garymandered our table and now he has to sit with the d and d kids. Our next new teen slang term is pumpkin spice. Lets see what it means. Its someone you havent seen since last fall and are sick of almost immediately. [ laughter and applause ] here it is in a sentence. I was so excited to see kevin last week, but after an hour, i remembered he was actually unappealing and gross. Pumpkinspice. [ light laughter ] next up, we have side salad. Lets see what it means. Its when you cheat on your boyfriend with someone who is much better for you. [ laughter ] here it is in a sentence. I like that devins a bad boy, but every once in a while, its nice to spend a weekend with my side salad, tim, who is on the honor roll and not addicted to pain killers. [ laughter and applause ] this next one, very, very useful. Its civil war portrait. This is when your mom takes way too long to take a photo. [ laughter ] for example, mom still doesnt know how to use her iphone camera. She spent 20 minutes asking, is the flash on, and then took eight selfies. Civilwarportrait. [ applause ] up next, we have dadderall. This is when your dad says something to you that keeps you up all night. [ light laughter ] for example, im on no sleep, because right before bed my dad said, son, you know how weve been saving money for you to go to college . Well, you know what, never mind, well talk about it tomorrow. that dadderall kept me awake all night. [ applause ] this next ones really taken off with the teens. Its david schwimmer. Heres the definition. The kid at school who only shops at the Department Store ross. [ light laughter ] for example, jake says he cant shop for clothes unless hes digging through stacks of tshirts and piles of quicksilver sandals on the ground. Booyah david schwimmer. By far my favorite one. [ laughter ] which i guess is why im the guy in his 40s. [ light laughter ] coming up next, its Rex Tillerson. This is someone who is doing everything they can to get fired. For example, brandon went full Rex Tillerson yesterday. He walked into his job at starbucks 20 minutes late wearing no shirt and called his boss a [ bleep ] moron. [ laughter and applause ] still there, though. Still here. Next up, its fraudka. Heres the definition. Whats left when you steal your parents liquor and top the bottle off with water. [ laughter ] for example, my parents are hosting a dinner party saturday. And im totally going to get busted when they discover that all weve got in the bar is fraudka and fakers mark. [ laughter ] mostlywater. [ applause ] our last new teen slang term is brady brunch. Lets see what it means. Its when you move two large tables of people together while having brunch. For example, we were four guys eating brunch, and we saw four girls at a separate table. We pushed the two tables together, and thats the way we all became the brady brunch. The brady brunch. The brady brunch. Thats the way we became the brady brunch. [ cheers and applause ] that was seth explains teen slang.

Seth congratulations on another season. It feels like this season has a lighter tone in a nice way. Do you enjoy that . You know, i mean, hes sort of hit rock bottom. Seth uhhuh. And hes enjoying every minute of it. Seth thats great. [ light laughter ] i mean, it seems as an actor you must enjoy he has to be sort of talked into going back to work. And they have to sort of he really its supposed to be a period of sort of empire building, i suppose. Seth uhhuh. Hes not really that interested. [ laughter ] he has to be coerced. As i do, every sunday night. Seth you have to be coerced every sunday night . Yes. Seth yeah. So i want to ask you this. Heres something odd, though seth great. Well i [ laughter ] before i came out here, i went to use the restroom. Seth uhhuh. And, you know, its just a mens room in a hallway back there. Seth its not that nice. You can say it. Its well, no. I mean, its been updated in certain ways. Its got the automatic flush urinals. Seth uhhuh. And the automatic water. Which i dont look at as being an upgrade, but its there. The rest of the bathroom looks like its, you know, the same since the 40s maybe or something. Seth mmhmm. Which it could very well be, the dials and things. And, oddly enough, a fullsize scale with weights seth yeah. That you move across. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Do you offer physicals here or something . Seth we dont. But it is a strange thing. Because i want to stress to the viewers at home, its not a gym bathroom. Not at all. Seth its just its a bathroom its right back there. We could all go there actually. Seth in an office building. Yeah. Its right there. Its pretty close. Seth that is the whats the scale there for . Seth i dont know. I havent yeah. In all these years, i so no one uses it. Seth its just there. It just is there . Seth um are people weighing themselves here a lot . [ laughter ] seth i think there are guys who like to weigh themselves. You know, before lunch, after lunch. Just to make sure [ laughter ] because i can as you can tell, i dont weigh myself very often. Seth uhhuh. Did you take advantage . But i must say, when i walked out because i didnt want to miss coming out here. Seth sure. And then be found just sort of standing at the scale. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] and then taking my shoes off, you know. Seth yeah. Take off some weight. But i regretted it after i walked out that i didnt weigh myself. Seth thats a bit i miss that. I do. Seth because now you just stand on a scale, and it gives you a number. Well, you do. Seth yeah, but i like this. Yes. Seth i enjoy being part of the process. Youre not being lied to. Seth yeah. Although you could then sort of shift. You know. Back and forth. But then that needle goes bang. Seth yeah, thats true. Sorry. Seth you have actually i like that you told us something odd, because over the years, one of my favorite things about having you on the show, you have had many odd jobs, and yet every time youre here, i discover a new one about you. You worked at a carnival. Yes. As a matter of fact, so did the guy in that clip, smokey. Seth yeah. The guy with the elephant. Seth so thats why he had an elephant . He didnt work at a carnival, but he anyway. He works for a circus. But we go to the carnival to try and find him. Seth did that bring back memories for you . It did. I worked at a carnival for a very short time when i was quite young. I i ran the whackthecats. Seth uhhuh. Is that like whackamole . Is that no, nothing like it at all. [ laughter ] i mean, youve seen it. The cats are like lion faces. Seth okay. And theyre fabric. Its about this big. And then behind the fabric is a little board thats about this wide. Seth uhhuh. So soft on the sides, like that, okay . Seth got it. And then youre given baseballs, and you throw them, to try to knock the cat faces down. Whackthecats. And but, of course, you miss so much because its actually a very thin board behind the larger face. Seth oh, i see, it tricks you into throwing at the soft part. Yeah, i mean you cant yeah, you have to hit the middle of it. Anyway, i did the whackthecats at this carnival. I even roped a friend of mine into working at the carnival, as well. He worked the fishing well. Seth uhhuh. And its not called a fishing well. What is it . A wishing well, maybe, or something . Seth uhhuh. Anyway, but you fish for things. But anyway [ laughter ] it was an abysmal carnival. Seth really . I mean so bleak, but also, i worked the day shift. And so i think probably the night is the better shift to work there, maybe. Seth for carnivals . Sure, yeah. I mean, i guess. Its not like you get tips, though. Seth right. But its just busier, so you pass the time. Seth yeah. Like, i did teach myself how to juggle, which i no longer know how to do. It would be great if i said that i did that and then i could come out her and juggle for you all. But i cant but i cant even bring that to the table. [ laughter ] seth okay, gotcha. All i have is the bathroom story. Anyway and a clip. Yeah. Seth you brought the clip. Thank you. I brought the clip. Someone else sent the clip. Seth okay, gotcha. You didnt even do that. I didnt even do that. Seth did you when did you know your time at the carnival was done . Did you ever say this isnt the life for me . Oh, yes. I used to drive up there with my buddy in my little vw bug that had no floor. And we would go there and wed anyway. I would be standing there, and id be there for you know, there would be a half hour in between people coming to the whackthecat. Yeah, it was not a very popular seth and then you just got close to the cats, im imagining. And the prizes stunk, sort of. Seth yeah. Anyway, but i was standing there one day and all of a sudden i see the guy who ran the ride that was next to me. And the ride was one of those, i dont know tiltawhirl or seth yeah. Cups, i dont know, something spinning. And it was next to me there. And i used to actually pick him up hitchhiking, to come to the carnival. Seth so this place obviously paid real well. [ laughter ] it was so bleak, anyway. One day, i was staying there so i had gotten to know the guy, you know, pick him up hitchhiking, and all of a sudden hes walking by. This is after ive only been working there a few weeks. And hes walking by, and hes just got this sort of demoralized, look. Hes sort of hanging his head, and wandering up towards the you know, the office. Which was a shed. [ light laughter ] and headed that way. And i said, everything all right . And he says, kid fell off the ride. [ laughter ] i dont even think that they heard that seth so, a kid fell off the ride. Fell off the ride. And, anyway, and it just he said it the way he said it, i just thought, ive got to get the hell out of here. [ laughter ] seth yeah. I mean, it was the way he said it was just like again. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] not shock. No, not seth cause hes been worn down. No, it was about the paperwork. Seth yeah. Or the report or whatever the thing, you know . That he was going to have to fill out. Seth he had to mark, who fell off the ride, kid. It was a really brutal job. I didnt last very long. Only a couple of months or less like a month or one month and a half. You know, but i had so many, you know, odd jobs and manual labor jobs. Ones that were really hard. Like, you know, loading and unloading freight cars and tractortrailer trucks. I worked in a meatpacking plant, unloading slides of beef. Seth you had to but that job was so calcifyingly boring. It was like retail. Retail seth but its so funny, because i feel like people write books about working at a carnival. No one writes theyre working at the meat place. But, youre saying the meat job was better. Well, i was busy. Seth yeah. I was working at a carnival that people werent coming to. Seth yeah, that does and it was also during the day. And no one is there. And doesnt a carnival live at night . Seth yeah. I mean, it was like its actually like my job. Television. You know, i got into this business because it was a night job. Seth yeah. And then it turned out that it wasnt. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] and that was a rude awakening. Seth you got ripped off. No pun intended. Seth one of these days, youre going to find a job you like, and i really hope that no, no, no. I do, i love my job. But i was counting on the later hour. Seth yeah, you im not a morning person. Seth yeah. And this wouldnt be bad. But you show up in the morning, dont you. Seth yeah, i do show up in the morning. Yeah. Count me out. [ laughter ] seth okay. Well, please come back again, though. Give it up for james spader, everyone.

Yeah, particularly strange to congratulate someone on it when theyre not in the damn thing. Seth yeah, you were not in the trailer. No. Seth but you were great. Thank you so much. Seth your absence was felt. I know. Ill bet it was. Seth youre so evil that you just could feel a pall over the trailer. It would have been too scary if id been there. Seth yeah. Yeah. Seth do you i assume there is a shroud of secrecy on a film like that. This is your second star wars movie. Was it the exact same as far as how little youre allowed to talk about it . Yeah, it didnt get any better. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] disney werent like, yeah, whatever you want, you know . That did not happen. Seth so this is a film about winnie the pooh. The creator, a. A. Milne, of winnie the pooh. Not star wars. Seth not star wars. No no. Seth i wish i had gotten a great spoiler from you there. [ laughter ] you cannot believe who is in the new star wars. What have i done . Eeyore. Seth oh, no. Eeyore is on the dark side . Of course. Seth oh that makes sense, yeah. [ laughter ] you had not read winnie the pooh. That was not a book that you had ever read. No. No. Im from ireland. And normally someone cheers in the audience when you say youre from a place. Thats so weird. [ cheers and applause ] seth i think you know i think they were taking issue that you were about to say why ireland doesnt have winnie the pooh, and they were waiting. Oh, im sorry. I didnt realize. Yes. I had, like i grew up until about four or five, i probably felt as much irish as english. Seth oh, gotcha. Irish language, so like there was a lot of brand the dog and things like that. Seth so those are your winnie the pooh is brand the dog . Dont judge me. [ laughter ] seth but now this worked against you, because you had not winnie the pooh had not been hammered into your psyche the way it had the rest of us. And you have a, obviously, a young costar in that clip. The name winnie the pooh was funnier to you than him. Is this true . I yes. My sense of humor my sense of humor is a bit like will was nine when we shot and my sense of humor was about six or seven. [ laughter ] seth were there any scenes that were particularly tough . I dont know. Do people like like, does everybody know winnie the pooh . Like is that a seth yes. Yeah. Sorry. [ cheers and applause ] a lot more than from ireland. Um, yeah. They played pooh sticks in it. Seth uhhuh. Which i just kept on thinking sounded like a condition, you know. [ laughter ] its coming out like sticks, you know. So, yeah. That was tough. Seth yeah. And then will, who was like an amazing actor and a lovely young person, hes like the nicest kid you ever met and a brilliant actor. But he like we need to work. You know, i would be laughing all the way up to yeah, we need to seth oh, so he would take you aside and say, hey man, this is weve got to you need to get your crap together. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Seth you actually got your start very young, but in sort of a unique way. Your father is an actor, brendan gleeson. Yes. Seth and you he let cheer for him, for gods sake. [ cheers and applause ] seth yes, please, we have to cheer for brendan. The starring in mr. Mercedes on television now. Seth yeah, absolutely. Fantastic stephen king adaptation. Yes. Yeah. Seth so he let you give an acceptance speech for him at an award show. Yes. I mean, he wasnt in the country, to be fair. He wasnt in the audience and said, you take this one, so. Seth but how [ laughter ] but now, this has happened multiple times, yes . Because you were nominated in the same category as him. Oh is that so there are two different things. So first of all, when i was 16, he my mother, an amazing person, did not want to accept the award. He wasnt in the country. So i went up, made a kind of a speech that was just a little bit stupid. I was 16. And i got an agent from it. Thats how i got started in the industry. Seth oh, wow. And then years later, like two years ago, the bif, thats the british independent film awards. We were both nominated in the same category. Now ive lost the iftas. Which is the irish film and television awards. I have lost to him multiple times. Seth okay. Gotcha. [ laughter ] its different in britain. It feels worse in britain. And, yes, he beat me. And i went up to accept the award, and on the way up, they said, here to accept the award is sara gavron, who is the director of the film. Seth yeah. And she was also walking up. It looked like id misheard and thought that i had won the award. Seth which is rough with the same last name would not be your fault. Its so terrible. And Alicia Vikander was like, what the hell are you doing here . She was then the award. And then so i accepted it for him and it went okay. And then later, tom hardy was nominated in a totally different category that i had nothing to do with. And they said the winner is tom hardy. Here to accept his award is domhnall gleeson. [ laughter ] and i had to go up again. Seth yeah. Yeah, yeah. Seth so it was a very strange night for you. I watched both speeches, and i will say you came off incredibly well. Thank you. Seth yeah. Yeah but i didnt leave with a damn thing. [ laughter ] i went home with nothing. Seth theres that as well. Yeah. Seth i also watched this today, because i heard you say there is in ireland, there is a video of all your great film work. Your television work. There is a video . A video . Seth i watched this you in the back seat of a car. Was this a charity . What was this for . Oh, cool, i get to pitch for st. Francis hospice in raheny. Seth oh, great. Please. You can go to immaturity for charity, and i did a load of sketches, including with my dad, one in which he explains sex to me, but im 32. Seth okay. [ laughter ] and seth oh thats great. See, now i only saw the sketch, so i did not know that the premise was immaturity for charity. Because the sketch i saw was wonderful. Yeah. Seth its only a minute long. Yeah. Seth and it was brilliantly immature. Well i wrote that with my friend, michael maloney. But that was from the series be forty first. And then it went so well, we decided to do the other one. But basically, the thing is me in a car. And this is what im known for in ireland. I think more than most people people can way more than star wars. Way more than harry potter, whatever. They come up and say, you were in that sketch. And its basically i need to go to the toilet in the car. Were on the way to a concert, and im like, you need to pull over, i drank too much lemonade. Drank too much lemonade. Just go in a bottle. And then i poo in the bottle. Seth yeah. Yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] thats why i love winnie the pooh. It all comes together. Yes.

[ cheers and applause ] seth our next guest is a very talented writer, whose debut novel, the talented ribkins, is on stands now. Please welcome to the show, author, ladee hubbard, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Im great. Seth im so happy to have you here. Youre not only an author, you also teach at tulane university. I do. Seth and so what are you teaching right now . Right now im teaching a class on afrofuturism. So its a lot of speculative fiction, science fiction, and surrealist fiction. Its very fun. Seth that sounds very fun. Now, i have to ask, when youre here, does that mean class was cancelled . [ laughter ] yeah, it does. Seth oh, wow. Yes it did. [ laughter ] seth thats fantastic. [ cheers and applause ] youre welcome or maybe not. Funny. Thats funny. Seth maybe theyre upset. I shouldnt say that theyre happy class. They might be very upset that youre gone. So. And you it must be very exciting for them to be have a teacher who is now a published author. You went to princeton for undergrad and Toni Morrison was one of your teachers, is that true . Yes. Yes, she was my thesis adviser. Seth wow. Yeah. Seth and how i imagine you go into that with such Great Expectations as to what it will be like to work with Toni Morrison. Did it live up to your expectations . Absolutely, yeah. I was a huge i mean, a huge fan of hers before i went there and met her. And she was really a great a great teacher. I have been thinking about it a lot. Its really wonderful. She really encouraged a lot of risktaking and experimentation, and i and its amazing i dont remember her ever saying, like, you cant do that. Like, it was always like very her trying to figure out what i wanted to do. And to sort of help me to achieve my own goals. And that was really important to me at the time. Seth do you feel not only that you learned lessons from her as how to write, but do you also feel that you channel her as a teacher at all in your class . Do you borrow from that a little . I try to. I would hope i do. Seth yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Seth well were going to have your class in next week, and were going to im going sit them here and were going to find out. [ laughter ] great. Seth so this is fascinating to me. You actually started this thinking it was going to be a short story. In a series of short stories. When does a short story reveal itself to you as being a novel instead . Well, it was actually the first chapter in a very altered form was a short story that was going to be part of a collection. And i wrote it, and i published it. And then actually was a couple years before i realized that i wanted to expand that and make it into a novel. And i think it was just my i had very strong feelings about the characters in the story. And i just wanted to tell more of their story as a novel. Seth thats fantastic. And did you this is inspired by an essay, to some degree, yes . It is. A lot of it is the title of the book and a lot of the things that happened are inspired by an essay that was written by an africanamerican sociologist named w. E. B. Dubois. And in 1903 oh, thats cool. [ cheers and applause ] now in 1903, he wrote an essay called the talented ten, which is its really a very impassioned plea for Educational Opportunities to be made available for africanamericans in the south at that time. And part of his argument was that onetenth of the africanamerican population was endowed with sort of natural talents or gifts that would lead to them becoming the Leadership Class for all africanamericans. And i think that what influenced the title, for one thing, and then the whole idea of talent, i just wanted to make them tangible in the book. So all the characters have specific talents or, like, powers. Seth there are you know, its both grounded in reality. But there is a fantasy element to this book. There are characters with, you know, super powers for lack of a better word. You put was it fun to decide . Because i read a lot of comic books growing up. Coming up with powers seems to be the most exciting thing you could do when youre writing. Yeah. Seth did you enjoy that part of it . I did. I did. And i read a lot of comic books growing up. Seth oh, you did . What were your favorites . Where did you . I really like the xmen. Seth yeah. I mean the xmen are the best. Yeah. Yeah. I did. [ cheers and applause ] seth i mean as far as telling social stories, i feel like the xmen were always for that. Yeah. So thats probably ive probably always been sort of attracted to stories that do that. And in terms of this, too, i just i really did want to make the talent something tangible so that you could really see sort of the potential they had. But then also the limitations of the sort of the idea of talent being the key to the future. Because talent is different from vision. Right . So a lot of the characters have talent, but they dont know what to do with them. Seth you are a perfect teacher. Everything youre saying thats funny. Thats funny. Seth everything you say makes you perfect. You are professor x. That is very thats really funny. [ laughter ] seth theres your takeaway here. Thats funny. [ cheers and applause ] seth thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Seth congrats on the book. Thank you so much.
