what was fun about it for you? was it the death of the twins? no, that wasn't...fun. did you even read it? course i read it. (oscar) how does it end? who was the main character? angela. nope. ashes. [mouths word] "sorry" captioning sponsored by comedy central bowman gerald bostock >> trevor: hey, everybody! welcome to another episode of "the daily social distancing show." i'm trevor noah, and it's now day 65 of us staying inside to try and stop the spread of coronavirus. and here's your quarantine tip of the day: a lot of people have been spending their time at home doing some sort of spring cleaning. here's a quick reminder: eventually you will wear pants again. so, make sure to keep at least a couple pairs. don't make my mistakes. anyway, on tonight's episode: we solve the mask problem

forever, there's a new universe you can escape to, mike pompeo is sending you his dinner check. so let's get into it! welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> announcer: 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." >> trevor: right now, if you want good news, you've got to search pretty hard for it, kind of like one of those "where's waldo?" puzzles. by the way, why are we trying to find waldo? what did he do? did he murder someone? if he did, shouldn't the cops be looking for him? why are we searching for him? the point is, you don't need to search for good news, because we found it for you in our ongoing segment, "a ray of sunshine." ♪ ♪ all across america, millions of people have been receiving stimulus checks from the government to help them through this tough time. some people use the money for

rent. some people use it for groceries. some people use it to rent groceries. i don't know, they say it saves money. but one woman decided to use her check to lift other peoples' spirits. >> reporter: a new york woman collaborated with a new orleans jazz orchestra to put on a stimulus serenade for frontline hospital workers and covid patients in new orleans. emily bowman used her stimulus money to pay for the out-of-work musicians while offering a morale boost to healthcare workers. she's hoping to inspire others to conduct similar concerts. >> trevor: amazing. she used her stimulus check to hire out-of-work musicians and honor new orleans healthcare workers in one fell swoop. that's a beautiful gesture. although, it was a little inappropriate when they threw beads at the nurses. also, i hope the surgeons couldn't hear the music, because those new orleans bands are so good. you can't resist dancing. "all right, nurse, i'm making the incision next to the artery... ♪ ♪

i tried this in south africa and it doesn't work. yeah, i hired a vuvuzela group. ♪ ♪ but all the patients left the hospital, saying they'd rather take their chances with corona. and i love that they honored their healthcare workers with live jazz, because what's more new orleans than live jazz? this would be like if philadelphians entertained their nurses with a fist fight outside a wawa. it's so authentic. of course, that free concert is only one of many stories we've heard about ordinary people trying to honour healthcare workers. in fact, one big story that went viral last month was from the u.k., where a 100-year-old man raised $40 million doing a charity walk in his garden. and now the u.k. is saying "good on you, chap." >> a 100-year-old veteran in great britain will receive a knighthood. he'll be knighted for helping frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic. captain tom moore raised more than $40 million for britain's national health service by just

walking around, walking laps around his garden, using a walker, like you see right here. and that effort captivated the nation. >> trevor: this is fantastic! this 100-year-old man is going to become a knight. which is the highest british honor you can receive, outside of "star baker." but it makes sense for him to be concerned with how the queen handles a sword, because we all saw how she stabbed meghan markel in the back. you don't know what she's cable of. i just can't wait for him to meet all of the other knights once the pandemic is over. "i'm sir tom moore, knighted for raising 40 million for the n.h.s." "i'm sir mix-a-lot, and i was knighted for always telling the truth about how much i like big butts." but this goes to show you two things. one, when it comes to helping, your age doesn't matter. anybody can help. and, two, people in every country around the world are really desperate for sports right now. people in england are like, "it's no olympics, but there's

an old man walking around his house right now. it might be entertaining. >> i'd pay 10 pounds right now to watch that! and, finally, has this pandemic made you wish you could be living in another universe? well first of all, congratulations on being basic. and, secondly, here you go. >> reporter: it may sound like an episode of "the twilight zone," but nasa scientists say they have detected a parallel universe that exists next to our own. using a cosmic ray detection experiment, scientists in antarctica say they have found evidence of a universe born, and the very same big bang as ours but with rules of physics that are completely opposite. in our universe, higher energy particles can only be detected coming down from outer space but using a giant balloon-like object, the scientists detected similar particles coming up out of the earth, implying the particles are actually traveling backward in time. >> trevor: this is insane. scientists say they've detected

a yfersz, parallel universe, moving backwards in time. and before you get all excited: yes, trump is still president in the parallel universe. the only difference in this universe he can read, which makes it even more funny. but it would be funny if, in the other universe, everything is backwards, so trump hates ivanka but wants to bang eric. actually, the more i think about it, imagine how great it would be to live in a parallel universe where time is going backwards. coronavirus goes away, trump goes away, president obama comes back-- it's amazing! oh, shit! wait! now slavery is back. i didn't think this through i didn't think it through! all right, that's it for "ray of sunshine." let's catch up on today's let's begin with an update on the scandal surrounding mike pompeo, secretary of state and "bad-guy coach in every sports movie." we learned this week that pompeo asked president trump to fire an inspector general who was investigating him for improper

arms deals and for using government employees to run personal errands. and now it turns out the i.g. was also looking into lavish dinners pompeo was throwing on the taxpayer dime. now, pompeo says these were dinners to discuss foreign policy. the only issue with that story is the invite list included people like reba mcentire, nascar driver dale earnhardt jr, fox news hosts, and the c.e.o. of chick-fil-a. so it sounds more like pompeo was using the state department like his own personal make-a-wish foundation. "i want reba mcentire to sing while i eat a chicken sandwich. and i want to ride in a race car! for foreign policy purposes, of course." like, i'm sorry, but how is the c.e.o. of chick-fil-a going to help america's foreign policy? ( southern ) "what if we took the peace deal with the taliban and added a pickles? >> is every idea you have to add pickles to things? "we could also add waffle fries."

now, of course, one scandal at a time is never enough for this administration, so this morning, donald j. trump went on twitter to stir up some more chaos. >> reporter: president donald trump now threatening to withhold federal election money from the state of nevada. in a tweet, the president said plans to hold the upcoming primary election by all mail-in ballot here in nevada are illegal and set up the possibility for voter fraud. the president sent a similar tweet about michigan this morning, tweeting, "michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of primaries and the general election. this was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue secretary of state. i will ask to hold up funding to michigan if they want to go down this voter fraud path!" (sot) >> trevor: whew! there are two sure-fire ways to piss donald trump off: showing him that shirtless photo of obama, and giving people access to mail-in votes. i guess in trump's mind, voting should be like your wife smiling at you: once a year, in public, and never at home. and, by the way, michigan isn't

sending out ballots. they're sending out mail-in ballot applications, just like a bunch of republican states are also doing. so trump is clearly just looking for an excuse to avoid losing. and they're gonig to get crazier as the election gets closer. it's going to be like second graders playing sports. ( trump ) "the results in wisconsin don't count! i didn't say i was ready. i'm ready now, florida, i win!" but political scandals aside, the big news is still the coronavirus pandemic. and today, the country has hit a new milestone with all 50 states at least partially reopened for business. now, most states are taking things slow, because reopening is like dating: you have to start slow with coffee, then maybe a meal, and then once you're sure there's no disease, then you go all the way. and while this is exciting, but also a little troubling, because 17 states are still showing a steady increase in new coronavirus cases. hopefully that will not be a bad

thing. what is bad, at least one state where the data was showing improvement may have been fudging the numbers. >> reporter: meanwhile, in georgia, the state department of public health posted a misleading chart on its web page. "the atlanta journal-constitution" says the chart made it look like the number of confirmed cases was dropping steadily, but it did not list the dates in order or keep counties in the same position each day. it's since been removed, and the department told "the journal-constitution" the chart was wrong because of an error in data sorting." >> trevor: okay, guys, this is messed up. georgia is accused of basically face-tuning its corona numbers to justify ending their lockdowns earlier. now, in georgia's defense, it may not be their fault they had the dates out of order. it's hard to keep track in quarantine. like, i thought yesterday was friday and tomorrow was meatball-- which, of course, is ridiculous. meatball isn't for two more days! but take it from me, georgia:

cheating only hurts you in the long run. when i was in school, i forged straight as on my biology report card instead of studying. and to this day, i still don't know where my labia is. if their any other governors inspired by georgia, the team at microsoft might have the answer for you. >> are you a state governor tired of manipulating your corona cases. introducing microsoft xcel, coronavirus edition. it will show a flattening curve to justify your decision to reopen buffalo wild wings. 10,000 new cases? flattening curve. you're in the hospital right now? not according to this chart! so upgrade to our corona edition now. data doesn't lie, but now you can. also available for schools and the n.f.l. >> trevor: i gotta feed my pet roommate but after the break, i will tell you why masks don't also block the virus. they also block your freedom.

we'll be right back. i'm coming, how they gonna pay for this? they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today.

that tastes like no other? start with tradition. then do your own thing. use the most demanding grape you can find. then grow it in three different california regions. pull out the best of each place push flavor in new directions. and put a bear on the label. meiomi is a pinot noir crafted like no other, for a taste like no other.

meiomi. flavor forward. face masks. they're keeping us healthy and letting us pretend we're all shredder. >> i'll get you, ninja turtles! >> trevor: most people have gotten the message that even simple masks can slow the spread of coronavirus. in fact, in the u.s., a nice 69% of americans saying they now wear masks when they leave the house. well, now there's some new research confirming just how effective masks can actually be. >> and one of the best ways to protect yourself and others from getting covid-19 is to wear a mask. a new study out of hong kong shows coronavirus transmission rates drop by 75% when surgical masks are used. researchers used hamsters. masks draped over the cages of infected hamsters dropped infection to 17%. hamsters who still got infected, despite having a mask barrier, had less of the virus in their bodies compared to hamsters without masks.

>> trevor: yeah, according to this eye-opening-- and, frankly, adorable, study-- masks drop transmission rates of the coronavirus by 75%. and while this is a great study for public health, i think it's a huge missed opportunity for those scientists. i mean, why would you drape masks over the cage when you could have put tiny masks on the hamsters? i mean, that's instagram gold! for a bunch of virologists, you guys don't know shit about going viral! am i right? no one's here. so, clearly, wearing masks is important, but that doesn't mean that it's easy. for one thing, unless you plan on butt-chugging all your meals, it nearly makes it impossible to eat or drink, until now. >> reporter: as health officials are asking the public to wear face masks, a group of friends in texas just developed a mask that makes it easy to drink through. >> reporter: cordill had an epiphany when she had to take off her mask to take a sip of

water. that's when she came up with the idea for "shut your mouth." the masks includes a front zipper that allows people to more easily get a drink while they are out in public. >> reporter: the latest look in protective face masks have people saying, "i'll drink to that." that's because it comes with a hole for a straw. >> reporter: an israeli man created a protective face cover that allows you to eat food without removing your mask. you just squeeze a lever, which opens a slot for your mouth so you can eat without removing the mask. >> trevor: what a great invention. now we can all have lunch, and nightmares! i mean, nothing gets my appetite going like seeing my friends as ventriloquist dummies. maaa-maaa-maaa. although, i don't know why we needed that one with the zipper. it already exists. i have, like, three of those masks in my closet right now. it's dust masks. you know when you want to say something, "yeah, i'll be done in 10 minutes." now, even though most americans

are wearing masks, many still refuse, yeah. and confrontations between maskers and anti-maskers have been going viral. and the latest one may be the best yet. you see, a las vegas patriot tried to shame a costco employee who told him that he needs to wear a mask in the store. and things did not go the way he expected. >> reporter: a costco employee in las vegas is being praised for standing his ground and denying a customer who refused to put on a mask. >> hi, everyone. i work for costco, and i'm asking this member to put on a mask because that is our company policy. so either wear the mask-- >> and i'm not doing it because i woke up in a free country. >> have a great day. >> so you're going to take this cart from me? >> sir, have a great day. >> full stop. >> you are no longer welcome here in our warehouse. you need to leave. thank you very much. >> here, you put it on. i'll give you my card. he's going to take the cart away because he's a ( bleep ) little bitch. there he is, walking away with all my stuff. there he goes because i'm not a (bleep) sheep.

>> trevor: whoo, that costco employee was not messing around he was straight up like, "sir, if you don't put on a mask, i'm gonna have to hand you a free sample of your own ass." and i truly don't understand this. this man was just being asked to wear a mask while he's in the store. that's not asking a lot. do you know what i would do for a bulk quantity of toilet paper right now? do you know who i killed-- i mean, who i would kill? these videos really give you a sense of how differently black and white people view struggle. black people are turning their cameras on when they think they're about to get shot. white people are turning them on to show the oppression of costco's store policies. "they wouldn't let me take two." like, even if you don't care about getting corona, it's not about you, because your decision might affect other people. it's the same way you could say, "i'm not a sheep. i'm free. and i don't want a car with brakes." yes, but the rest of us don't want your free ass flying through our windshield.

now, look, i do think there should be another solution to our mask debate, other than viral shaming. isn't there something else we can do. leo deblin has the answer. >> do you want to go outside but hate wearing a face mask? they're hard to put on. they get all up in your eyes, and your breath smells like ass. well, now, you ain't got to worry about covering your face. because leo is on the case. introducing the leo deblin germ blaster. strap these suckers to your head, and everybody is getting their germs blown back in their face. this works for all airborne illnesses such as corona and even gonorrhea. go back from you came from, sneeze. but you might say, "leo, i already have corona. how do you stop my germs from hitting other people?" guess what? i have a solution for that, too. introducing the leo deblin germ sucker. strap this baby to your gut, and

all your germs get sucked away. now i don't need to wear a face mask to enjoy a quiet walk outside. and if you're asking, sthrks f.d.a. approved?" let me put it this way: the f.d.a. is too busy to not approve it. the leo deblin germ blaster sucker. it's $85. you can get that from your momma. ♪ ♪ >> exit 120 by the fairgrounds. next to foot locker. >> trevor: wow, leo, you did it again. when we come back, i'll be talking to jose antonio vargas about how coronavirus is affecting immigrants in america. and n.b.a. superstar chris paul is also going to be joining me. so stay tuned. when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check...

filmmaker who's a leading voice for the human rights of immigrants. and not only that, he's an undocumented immigrant himself. so we talked about corona's disproportionate impact on undocumented immigrants, and why you should care. hoe as a, twok "the daily social distance show." >> thank you for having me. >> trevor: let's talk about the immigrants' experience during this period, especially the undocumented immigrant experience. coronavirus has affected everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone. but as an undocumented immigrant in america right now, there's a unique experience that's amplified by coronavirus. could you tail us a little bit about what that is? you've been speaking so much on it. >> yeah. so, i mean, you know, you know is how do we humanize this issue so people can understand it. wherever they are, whatever their experiences are. so to me, what's happening is it's exposing just how hypocritical we are as a society. so we rely on immigrant worker as-- quote, unquote-- essential

workers. yet we really don't want to treat them as essential people. we just want to treat them as workers. i'm lucky. i live in california. in berkeley, where i am right now. in & in california, governor newsom is the only governor so far that has said we're going to provide relief to undocumented workers who are actually parent of our economy and parent of our communities. that's not something governor cuomo has done. that's not something texas-- what would the construction industry, the agricultural industry, like, how would they survive without us? and, yet, like the response hasn't been, you know-- not only been fair but been humane in this regard. so i remember i was reading this essay, i think it was in the wall street journal, by susan orlean-- who i love. and she said, "never taking travel for granted again." and i remember thinking, wait, as an undocumented person, we can't travel. right. there are only actually 12 states that allow undocumented people like me to drive. california is one of them.

new york, finally, is making it happen. but the reality is, undocumented immigrants are actually social distancing for us is not something that the pandemic brought. it's actually a way of life. it's our reality. >> trevor: it's interesting, because for many-- for many on the right, coronavirus and the relief efforts actually created a bit of a storm in and around undocumented immigrants, you know. because they said, "well, well, this is another example of how undocumented immigrant want to leech off the system." you know, you would see people online saying, "why do they want our taxpayer money? why should we pay for illegal immigrants who are in this country?" how do you respond to somebody like that? because, i mean, you see it as a culture war online, and it gets stoked every single day from the top. but the question is how do you even respond to somebody like that? >> the fact that undocumented workers contribute billions of dollars in taxes and social

security. if people knew that, it doesn't matter if you're left, right, center, if they knew the facts, then they wouldn't say, that right? i mean, look around. who is working, right? so, again, to me what's been dangerous and hurtful is the thinking that immigrants are here just as labor. they're just here to work. there was a great quote, someone from the e.u. said, "we asked for workers and they gave us people." because we are a people. but the reality is the way this administration, this very anti-immigrant administration has been enacting policies not only about undocumented immigrants, by the way. the reality is the assault is beyond the undocumented population, right. they're going after people seeking asylum. they're banning foreign students. they're ending work permits for talented international students. they're banning new green cards for 60 days. and of course, daca, which i'm sure you're aware about. >> trevor: right, right. >> right now we have, what, 200,000 daca recipients who are

literally fighting this pandemic-- hospital workers, food workers, farmers, teachers. and yet any day now, the supreme court can make a decision that says they can no longer be here. >> trevor: one of the more confusing things for me that struck me when i came to america was a little bit of the hypocrisy in the story. because i was shocked when i found out that you could be an undocumented worker in america, but pay taxes. in fact, the i.r.s. is more than happy to collect the tax from you, so you're contributing to society-- >> more than happy. >> trevor: but at the same time people make it seem like you're not a part of that society. then again, that story came to the fore in coronavirus. you know, you started seeing stories of how the meat processing plant, the farms, they said, "we would appreciate it right now if you didn't raid us because our workers are undocumented. the people who are delivering food. the people who are driving people around in ubers. the people getting you around, getting your food to you, looking after you in hospitals, cleaning your-- whatever it is, these people are undocumented,

and, yet, they seem to be very essential to the society. do you-- do you think that there's a breakdown in how people perceive what an undocumented worker is? >> absolutely. i mean, that's why, you know, when i came out as inn documented almost nine years ago now, my purpose is how do we change the narrative of this issue? how do we complicate it? how do we get it out of this mexico border wall that it's stuck in that helped elect donald trump? in reality, undocumented people live with people who are u.s. citizens by birth, a green card. it's called a "mixed status family." right now, it's graduation season, right. so i don't wherein i would be if it weren't for my teachers at my middle school and mawnview high school. before there was a dream act, before anybody knew what this was, my teachers were the ones who made sure i was more than pieces of papers. so right now, actually, we're about to host an imi-grad.

students from immigrant backgrounds. right now in this country, there are about four million k-12th grade students who are immigrants or live with somebody who is undocumented. the reality is this is a really difficult time. so how do we celebrate them. we're hosting this big imi-grad this sunday at 3:00 p.m. if you want some inspiration, go on instagram or twitter or facebook, and type imi-grad, and you see stories of first, second, third-generation immigrant students who are here and honoring their parents for the sacrifices they made so they could be here. >> trevor: jose, thank you so much for taking your time. >> it's a virtual graduation at 3:00 p.m. eastern on saturday. there's a special guest. you'll love her. she's great. please check it out on sunday. >> trevor: thank you for being with us, jose. >> thank you. thank you so much, jose. when we come back, chris paul

i'm a substitute teacher at times. ( laughter ) a little bit of everything. because i'm the president of the union, i'm actually trying to figure out how we can get back to play. so it's-- i take spanish twice a week. i'm staying busy. >> trevor: yeah. a lot of people may not know that about you, you're the president of the players association. you have been for a long time. i mean, that must come with it a lot of pressure during this period. because you've got so many people asking when the n.b.a. is coming back? how does it come back safely? what's going to happen for the fans? we want to watch the games. we want to be at the games. nobody knows how it's going to happen. have you heard anything about the movement? one of the best rumors i heard is the n.b.a. is going to be played on, like, an island, like blood sport. and you guys are going to play against each other and only the winning team comes home. is that true? >> that's far from the truth. ( laughter ) you know, it's-- it's conversations happening every day, every day, just trying to figure out what's the safest

way. and we want to play. i think everybody wants us to play. and i keep saying this, like, as a fan of the game. i need something to watch on tv. something i could possibly watch with my kids. it's time to start watching some sports. we're working on it. >> trevor: it feels like right now the sports is on the back burner. but because of that we have been introduced to another side of sports that we maybe haven't appreciated as much, and that has been the story behind the sports. everyone who is anyone is just obsetsed with this new michael jordan documentary. everyone is watching "the last dance." i'm sure you have been as well. tell me, from your side, as a player, what it's been like watching a documentary about the bnbehind the scenes of a sport you're a professional in. >> it's been so dope, trevor. it's been so dope. i was a diehard michael jordan fan growing up. i'm sponsored by jordan brand.

i know m.j. personally. and those years shaped me into wanting to be an n.b.a. player. so now that i'm in the n.b.a. and i get a chance to see what he was like, sort of on the plane or, like, in the locker room, it's all so crazy. i'm extremely grateful that he even allowed this footage to get out. because he didn't have to do that. >> trevor: you're stepping into the space of being an executive producer. i mean, you've been in that game for a while now. but you're also producing content that, you know, takes us behind the curtain. we get to see behind the sport. we get to see behind the stories that we saw, you know, maybe just as a headline. and i know you've got a new documentary coming out, which i think is going to-- you know, it's going to address one of the biggest stories in sports that we saw. pfs a flash in the pan and disappeared even though there were huge ramification, and that was of donald sterling and the

clippers. it's called "blackballed." tell us about the documentary. >> yeah, man, "blackballed" is something i am glad i got a chance to be a part of because sometimes when things happen, right in that moment, you don't really appreciate it or take it all in of the ramifications and what's going on. so the fact that we had an opportunity to sit back and look at it and see the landscape that has, you know, transformed a lot of things, you know, as far as athletes speak out on different issues. >> trevor: right, right. >> and seeing how at that time, we're put in a tough situation, you know, because you got all these different people-- political leaders, family members. they're like, "you need to do this. you shouldn't play. you can't play. what are you going to do?" then we're also trying to beat golden state, who was one of our biggest rivals at the time. i'm over here getting phone calls from al sharpton and jesse jackson, and i'm figuring out how to slow down stef curry and clay thompson. so it's really dope, and i'm excited for people to see it. >> trevor: what do you hope people will learn from the documentary?

because for most people, the stfers-- there was a lot of tabloid. it was donald sterling who owns the clippers. he gets caught on a call saying racist things about magic johnson. and he's talking to his girlfriend. it becomes this whirlwind of tabloid. but there were human beings involved. and that's what i like about this documentary-- you're telling the story of the human beings, the players attached to the teams, the story that followed the games bhap do you hope people learn from this documentary that they don't already know? >> i think it goes right along the lines of what you just said as far as how, you know, a great documentary isn't necessarily about the game. it's about the drama behind it and everything. and i think i hope what everyone gets from this is how it's not about donald sterling. it's not about the series, the basketball game, but everything that went into it, and the different thoughts and perspectives that we were going through, and the conversations we were having as a team of what should we do? how should we do it? and how doc rivers, our coach, actually talked and communicated with us.

you know, because in these situations, a coach could just say, "this is how we're going to do it. y'all listen. y'all you do this. we talked about it. and we said we were going to have one voice, and doc was was the perfect voice for the situation. >> trevor: let me ask you this question before you go. i know you're working on another show about the n.b.a. and coronavirus. and i found that really interesting, because we all know where we were the day the n.b.a. shut down because i feel like that was the tipping point of everything shutting down. you know, a few people here and there were like, "we might cancel this. we might postpone that." but when the number said it's done, it felt like everything was done. and you're making a story about that. tell me about that. like, why do you think that day was so important? and how did the ripple effects hit everyone in the n.b.a.? >> yeah, so, as you said earlier, being in that storytelling business is being able to tell stories. unfortunately, i have been a part of a lot of them, you know.

and so where bryan and antoine, we decided we wanted to tell this story. and so it's basically that's the name "the day sports stopped." and like you said, everyone has a story. and i got the opportunity to tell about what led up to that day and what it was like in the locker room. and we have other athletes that are going to tell their stories of where they were, and what it's been like. you know, because it literally, everything stopped. everything stopped. and everything started shutting down. and i think it's going to be really dope to put all that together. because it's also not just from an athlete's perspective. we're telling the fans' perspective too,. >> trevor: right. >> right? because, you know, of course everybody wants to know what we were doing and how we reacted. but what about the fans? or that kid who was about to go see his favorite player for the first time? and now that's gone. >> trevor: right, right, right. yeah, it's-- it's a huge story, man. i'm-- i'm excited for you.

i'm excited for chris paul the executive producer. chris paul the storyteller. chris paul the substitute teacher. chris paul and n.b.a. superstar who hopefully we will see on the court sooner than later. >> appreciate you, trevor. we'll get you some hooping lessons. >> trevor: i'll teach you soccer and you do the hoops. >> thies deal. >> trevor: that's our show for tonight. before we go: the covid pandemic has taken a serious toll on many people's mental health. and here in the u.s., the disaster distress helpline is trying to address this crisis. they've got counselors who are trained to meet the mental health needs of this unique situation. and if you are able to, and would like to help, please donate what you can. noamount is too small. and if you'd like to support new yorkers in crisis please donate to "nyc well," which is also providing free, confidential mental health support. until tomorrow, stay safe out there, wash your hands, and
