>> [muffled speech] [phone rings] [muffled] michael scott paper company. [laughs] comedy central >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody? i'm trevor noah, and this is "the daily social distancing show." it is thursday, june 10, and today everyone is talking about e3, the big gaming convention where they announce all the hottest games coming up. yeah, all the games that you can't play, because they still don't have enough playstation 5s or the new xboxes! i mean, what the hell, people? i'm so desperate for a ps5, i tried jamming a ps2 into a ps3. it didn't technically work, per se, but the graphics you see while you're getting electrocuted are pretty dope. i mean, how are we this far into 2021 and still have a video game console shortage? the only new electronics i've

got is this microchip from the covid vaccine, and i can't even play "halo" on it. in fact, can't they change some of the vaccine factories and change them over to consoles. i know it's important to live, but is being alive worth it without "ratchet" and "clank"? i don't know! when are they going to release that? are they anything to keep doing this online thing? anyway, on tonight's show: joe biden is backpacking across europe, jeffrey toobin is revealing himself on tv, and why america might not be ready to get back to normal. so let's do this, people! 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: let's kick things off with the big international news. joe biden, president of the united states and "man who signs every text message like it's an email," arrived in europe this

yesterday for his first foreign trip as president and his first trip to england since the ribbon cutting ceremony at stonehenge. and it looks like he's already making headlines. >> this morning, president biden is in england where he's set to meet with prime minister boris johnson before the start of the g7 summit. mr. biden is also expected to announce a historic covid vaccine donation to low-income nations-- 200 million doses of the pfizer vaccine this year, 300 million by the first half of next year, all going to 92 countries who need it the most. >> one of the key sort of highlights of their visit together will be this re-signing this reaffirmation, as it with were, of the atlantic charter, a new atlantic charter, modeled after that post-war declaration from 1941 between f.d.r. and winston churchill, focusing on the cooperation between the two nations. it will highlight things like defense and trade, climate change, and a shared effort to combat cyberthreats, as well. >> trevor: that's right,

people, biden and boris johnson are updating the atlantic charter that was first signed back in 1941. and both sides got some concessions. the u.k. agreed to limit the number of royal refugees they'll send to the u.s., and in exchange, the u.s. agreed to start putting the letter "u" back into words again. plus, the u.k. will produce more harry styleses, and the u.s. will start calling soccer "football" and football "brain ouchy time." everybody wins. but that is also a huge announcement biden made over there. the united states is connating 500 million vaccines to the re69 of the world. which seems generous until you remember biden can't get anyone else in america to take them. it's kind of like giving your friend that old exercise bike you have just been hanging your clothes on. let me be the first to say on behalf of the international community: thank you to all the

anti-vaxers in america. the people of the world would not have these vaccines if it wasn't for your commitment to believing whatever the dumbest guy from your middle school posted on facebook. you guys are the real heroes. moving on now to some breaking science news. we're all familiar with the oceans of the world: atlantic, pacific, uhhh... posh, and sporty. well, as of today, there's a new ocean in town. >> it may well be time to toss out all of your old world maps, because there is a big change to tell you about. "national geographic" announced this week it would now officially recognize a fifth ocean, called the southern ocean. geographers say the swift current circling antarctica keeps the waters distinct and worthy of their own name. "national geographic" says its map policy committee has actually been considering the change for several years. >> trevor: hold up, hold up, hold up.

you guys just found a new ocean on a planet that's been around for like, i don't know, 800 years? was it hiding behind an iceberg or something? like, i don't get how we didn't realize this sooner. it's like discovering that your apartment has a second kitchen under the sofa. "huh, i guess i just never looked under here before." by the way, i love how this whole thing is just a statement by "national geographic," because they're not part of the u.n. or anything. they're just a magazine. but they're the magazine about nature, so we all just go with it. "national geographic" sails it, yes, yes. it's like if "playboy" announced that there's a third boob. we'd all be like, "well, i haven't seen it, but if "playboy" says it, it's got to be true. but i have to ask, have humans lrnlgd nothing from colonizization. we shouldn't go around drawing borders around the places we don't live. that should be up to the fishes who live there.

and that's why request i went under the sea to ask them about it in person. "hello, my fish friends. where would you like your borders to be?" >> trevor: no! you go back where you came from, you racist-ass fish! i'll see you at sushi. i don't even know where a fish learned the n-word. in other science news, let's talk about death. it's when you get canceled by nature. but if you've been looking for a loophole, a new discovery just might give you some hope. >> well, listen to this story. scientists say a tiny worm has come back to life after being frozen underground for 24,000 years. not sure how they know that, but they say the microscopic organism you see here-- even though it's not thrilling-- well, russian scientists say they found it in the permafrost lands of northeastern siberia, and transported it to a russian lab to examine its biology and history. scientists say the worm has by far the longest recorded survival period in a frozen

state. >> trevor: wow, a worm coming back to life after 24,000 years. what a miracle of science and nature and life. i'll give you five bucks if you eat that thing. and you know we always think about things from our perspective as humans. but can you imagine what it was like for that worm. that worm was probably surprised just to see human scientists around him, because 24,000 years ago, we were all just cavemen. that's how much things can change in 24,000 years. in fact, all those people who go into cryogenic storage now? they might wake up in 24,000 years and find out the worms are in charge. ( worm ) "well, well, well. if it isn't the guy who dissected one of my ancestors in 7th grade biology." how the tables vahave turned. no disrespect to worms, but it's probably easier to survive

getting frozen as a worm. worms don't have a whole lot going on. they're pretty much just a mouth and butt. that's it. pretty sure god was running out of ideas for animals, and then saw that cardboard thing in the middle of a papertowel roll and was like,"okay, that's a living thing now." and, finally, some big media news today, as cnn analyst jeffrey toobin returned to the air for the first time in seven months and had to have a pretty painful conversation about why he hasn't been on tv. >> i feel like we should address what's happened in the months since we've seen you. so, uh, i guess i'll recap. i'll do the honors. >> help yourself. ( laughs ) >> okay. um, in october, you were on a zoom call with your colleagues from "the new yorker" magazine. everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera. uh, you were subsequently fired form that job after 27 years of working there. do i have all that right? >> you have that all right, sad

to say. i think one point, i wouldn't exactly say in my defense, i because nothing is really in nigh defense. i didn't think i was on the call. i didn't think other people could see me. now that's not a defense. it was deeply moronic and indefensible, but that is part of the story. and, you know, i have spent seven subsequent months, miserable months, i can confess, trying to be a better person. i'm in therapy, trying to do public service, working in a food bank, which i certainly am going to continue to do. but i am trying to become the kind of person that people can trust again. >> trevor: aaaah! i can't watch! oh, man. i cannot think of anything more awkward to watch than that interview. maybe one other thing. and, you know, i bet the

awkwardness lasted after that interview, too, because you know that jeffrey toobin doesn't trust cameras anymore. >> "and cut. jeffrey, we're clear." >> "so the camera is off." >> "yup." >> i'm just going to smash that camera with a hammer if you don't mind." one thing i don't get is when he says he's been in therapy and working in a food kitchen. like, that's great, but i don't really see the connection. if anything, that's just unfair to the people at the food kitchen. "hello, would you like a nice piece of fruit?" "no thank you. i think i'll go a couple of more days without eating. but let's move on to our top story. thanks to america's successful vaccine campaign, millions of americans are finally getting back to doing the things they used to do before the pandemic, like going out to restaurants, seeing friends, and then shit-talking those friends to

another group of friends. "yeah, i know what you said about me, mary. people talk." but, apparently, a lot of people might not be quite ready to be a part of society again. and we'll tell you why in another edition of "return to normal-ish." ♪ ♪ ♪ of all the things people are looking forward to going back to, one of the biggest is live sports: the roar of the crowd, the sounds of the game, the smell of the armpits of the guy sitting next to you. ahhh, you don't get that at home. unfortunately, a lot of fans seem to have forgotten that they're only paying to watch the athletes, not to commit their own personal fouls. >> the return of packed arenas and other venues is an image worth celebrating. but it appears some fans have forgotten how to act. the latest edition of people behaving badly occurred during game four of the 76ers

versus the wizards with the fans rushing to the floor. >> you can tell those people have been in some kind of captivity for the last year, year and change. >> it follows a string of other ugly incidents during the n.b.a. playoffs: popcorn dumped on the wizards' westbrook as he a new york fox fan spitting on trey young, and a water bottle being thrown at kyrie irving. >> chaos erupts at last night's u.s.a.- mexico soccer match at denver's mile high stadium. a bottle thrown at young american star gio's head. later, a fan was tackled by stadium security after he ran into the pitch. >> trevor: goddamn. sports fans are going crazy. they're spitting on players, they're throwing things at them, and don't even get me started on that crazy fan who got into a fight with floyd mayweather. if this keeps up, they're going to have to start to using the t-shirt cannon as an actual weapon. and you know the situation is bad when fans are throwing popcorn and bottles. because, people, at an n.b.a. game, that's, like, 80 bucks' worth of concessions.

i'm sure as hell not throwing my snacks. i took out a loan to buy that popcorn! i worked too hard. of course getting back to remember is doing everyday stuff, shopping inside the store. during the pandemic people ordered thingses online, ordered curbside pickup or pointing a magnet and hoped something metal flew out. but apparently, some could use a refresher course on how to behave at the mall. >> clothing retailers are looking to take action against unruly and abusive customers. a dozen retailers, including gap and h&m, they're collaborating on a campaign this fall to enlist customers to combat bad behavior against retail workers. the campaign comes as workers face increased harassment as they try to enforce social distancing and mask protocols during the pandemic. organizers say the campaign is not asking customers to physically step in to stop altercations. they're not asking that but, rather, to help deescalate the situation and show support for workers.

>> trevor: wait, so the gap wants customers to deescalate fights at their stores, but not physically. just show support for the workers? so how is it this work? we're just supposed to be forming a cheer circle around the fights? "you can do this, rhonda. don't get punched!" people in stores deserve respect. they work long hours. they help you find what you need. and on top of all of that, they tell you that you can pull off that jump suit, which is why you pull off that jump suit, because it's all about confidence. but it seems like right now some of the biggest failures returning to society are happening on airplanes. after a year of staying at home, you would think that people would be happy to just get on a plane, eat their pretzels, and

take the world's most painful nap. but instead, people are turning airplanes into their own personal rage rooms. >> with air travel on the rise nationwide, so, too, are violent incidents, both in the airport and in midair. >> assault on flight attendants are skyrocketing. they say they have been pushed, punched, slapped, even choked by unruly passengers. the f.a.a. usually handles 150 incidents of unruly passengers in a year. so far this year, there have been 2,500 cases. >> american airlines is holding off on bringing full alcohol service back on their planes for some. the company is extending the suspension until at least september 13 after incidents involving unruly passengers and other airlines. the airline still is going to allow alcohol sales for first class and for business class cabins. >> trevor: i'm sorry, first class gets booze, but economy doesn't? and they think that's going to end the violence? did no one at american airlines see "snowpiercer?"

if they really want to stop fights, they shouldn't get rid of alcohol. they should make you drink until you pass out for the rest of the flight. yeah, you get either zero shots or 14, there's no inbetween. but the real issue is that people are getting into fights on airplnes! guys, this is the last place in the world you should be fighting. and given how tight space is in economy, i'm surprised it's even possible. do you know how much effort you have to put in to actually throwing a punch in coach on a plane? "what did you say to me!? i'm gonna kick your-- excuse me, can i-- man, you know what, when we land and you get up and i get up and we get the bags-- man, i'm going to king of kick your ass. excuse me, excuse me. 9 truth is some people are just asholes who want to fight. and let's be honest, you're never going to get rid of them. so maybe, just maybe, the better solution is just to find a way to put them all in the same

place. >> do you want to travel and take out your pent-up pandemic aggression on customer service employees? hell, yeah, you do. but society won't let you punch a flight attendant, until now. introducing, throw-down air, the only airline with no rules on your behavior or ours. our flight attendants are trained in m.m.a., hopped up on drugs and ready to ( bleep ) you up. >> can i interest you in some peanuts, crackers, or cookies? then come and get them, fat boy! >> other airlines don'tment you to bring weapons on board. at throe down air, you have to. and if you knock up on the the pilot then congrats. you're the new pilot. either way, once you're in the air, we're not landing until everyone on board is bleeding out. >> another airline, flight attendants would tell me to put my face mask on, bument on throe down air, they shove one down my throat and body slam me into the

beverage cart, thks, throe down, air. >> if you're an ashole assaulting people doing their jobs, then fly the airline for people just like you. throe down air: once the wheels are up, the shit goes down. >> trevor: which we come back gaming star will talk about landing on the cover of "sports landing on the cover of "sports illust

(crunch sound) daily social distancing show." my first guest is nick kolcheff, known in the gaming world as nickmercs. he's here to talk about being one of faze clan's biggest streamers, the rise of e-sports,

and being on the cover of "sports illustrated." nick kolcheff, aka, nickmercs,s welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> happy to be here, man. >> trevor: let me start by saying, i, in all my years of gaming, never dreamed i would see the day-- and i'm so happy-- that gamers would be on the cover of "sports illustrated" magazine. you-- you are literally on the cover with the team of faze clan of "sports illustrated." please, tell me that that is beyond a dream come true. >> oh, my god! are you kidding me, man? yeah, dude, listen, i mean, i come from a sports family. i played all kinds of sports growing up. my whole family is deep into sports-- college sports, pro sports, serious stuff. and i'm like the black sheep. so the irony of me being on "sports illustrated" as a gamer, that's got my dad spinning right now. he's like, "oh, my god." it's crazy stuff for real. >> trevor: for those who don't know you are a professional

gamer. you are part of one of the biggest gaming clans in the world, and you are one of the big echt streamers on youtube and twism. for those who wouldn't understand. for those going, "wait, what's happening here?" can you explain to them why people would want to watch someone else play a video game? >> you know what, man first of all, i don't know. but the way i wrap my head around it. gaming is huge, and i remember growing up-- you know, i loved football, i idolized tom brady, you know, the n.f.l. guys. and i wanted to watch them play. and now there are kids growing up watching video games, just like you and me "t," ask they want to people win the cardboard checks. you hosting your show, man, nobody can do it like you. there's a reason you're here, there's a reason you have a show. same thing, man. >> trevor: i would love to know from your side how you've turned something that was seen as a fringe thing, playing these

video games, into the business that you've created? because now,ings faze clan is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. you guys are franchising. you guys have fans. you guys have stadiums that are sold out when you're doing your events. tell me how you shifted from "we play games with our friends," to, this is a new business everyone is trying to invest in. >> it's a tough question but it is a great question. it is for sure a business now. there are a lot of people jumping in. gaming is becoming just a real normal thing n nowadays. i have to give a shout out to my team. trevor, listen, i'm great at pressing the buttons on the controllers, but i'm kind of a dump ass. when it comes to business and being business savvy, i've learned along the way-- it's weird. i consider myself just super fortunate. i'm one of the people on plannent earth that do something every day that i love. i know it's cliche to say, but i love this, man. i was playing sports in high school. i had a 2.0 g.p.a.

i was hanging on by a thread. my family wanted to send me away, bad attitude problems, the whole shebang. i knew the only thing i ever did that i loved was to play halo. >> trevor: right, right, right. >> i guess to answer your question, i guess it's kind of lucky in some ways, but it was easy to turn it into a business when i didn't even know it was a business. and i was just doing somethinga that i loved to do with all my buddies and the internet and twitch, and my 80 viewers turned into 1,000, and the cardboard check for 10k turned into 100k. and it got bigger and bigger and bigger. and i lucked out. >> trevor: you say you lucked out, but, nick, let me tell you something, this is something i never appreciated about streamers is how hard you guys work. on an average day, how many hours a day to you stream? >> six to eight, maybe. >> trevor: six to eight hours you are there grinding away. this is you six to eight hours.

you're engaging the people, playing the game, breaking it down. what do you think about the future of gaming and where do you think it's going? this is what has changed-- gaming used to be a solitary experience. you played mario brothers and maybe with people around you. now you play with anyone, anywhere any time. and because of people like you there's big money in it and and some of big e-athletes earn the samals the athletes in the n.b.a. and n.f.l. you are not tied to the game. people want to be with faze clan and nickmercs. it doesn't matter if it's fortnite or call of duty. people want to be with you. how do you think you keep growing that? >> i've been in the gaming scene for half my life, very, very long time. and it is just consistently just-- tick, tick, tick. it's something we can all co. anybody can play a game. you don't need to be agreement at it. i have buddies of mine that i stream with every day that are wildly successful-- they're not so great, i'm telling you right

now. my boy, timmy. it's all love, though. i think the important thing to focus on and why i think it's going to keep growing is that anybody can do it. in any stage of life. i can't put on my football pads anymore, trevor. of and get laid out. i can't do it. but i can play video games can k1 or brawny. i can't play basketball with them, but i can play call of duty with them. so i think that's an important takeaway. as to what i'm going to be doing specifically to grow my brand and do my thing, just more of the same, man. we've built a community, a kind of-- it kind of goes above just the normal viewer row in a twitch box. >> trevor: right, it does. >> it's a legit community. i have people that have met in my chat box that are married now. that's really life. i'm going to keep doing my thing. i'm definitely going to keep slaying and trying to push that idea and that plan, that gamers don't-- don't need to be skinny

little nerds or big-- big beefy-- no, man. you can-- you can be-- you can be athletic. you can game. i think that is what is awesome about the whole faze clan thing we dthe "sports illustrated." those athletes, they're gamers, man. and a lot of them are good. brawny's a baller. k1 can play. >> trevor: right. >> i think that's a really, really important thing. >> trevor: i'll tell you this, man,ars somebody who was stuck indoors for many hours a day i appreciated what you were doing. i appreciate the joy you bring to people's lives. i think that's what you're so successful. shout out to the rest of faze. category congratulations on everything you have done. as you said, everybody is and can be a gamer and i appreciate you opening it up to everybody. good luck witheg you do, and i'll see you again. >> thanks, buddy. >> trevor: check out faze nickmercs next week on "sports illustrated's" july cover, or any time on twitch and youtube. all right, when we come back, the star of the hot new summer movie "in the heights," anthony ramos, will be jonoing me on the show.

i'm out here shooting this transformers movie in montreal, and they want me to do these car stunts and they were like, "let me tell you who is not doing the stunts. we're putting you on this rig if you don't get your license." >> trevor: did you tell your instructor why you're doing it. did you say, yo, i have to do this thing because i'm doing transformers. >> she wasn't about it. she got in the car and she was like, "is your car sanitized?" i was like, my bad. i was using my mother's car. and my mom didn't have anything in her car. i ran to my boy's car real quick, sanitized the car. and she said, "okay, thank you." we finished the test. i'm talking about she was cold, bro. >> trevor: congratulations on the driver's license. and let's talk about the all the big moves you're making, first and foremost, one of the most hotly anticipated film of the year "in the heights." it's finally coming out in theaters and hbo max. and you, my friend, are the star of the show. tell me about what it feels like to get to this moment and why you think this film is so special to do it with.

>> i'm-- look, man, i'm grateful. i auditioned for the show when i was 19, i didn't get it. i eventually booked a role in a show happening in salt lake city, utah, and later on i meet lin, we did "hamilton," and fast forward and we were able to shoot the movie after 10 years from the first time i auditioned and didn't get it. this show means a lot to me and i'm grateful i get to be a part of it in any way, and it just feels like-- it feels like a story celebrating life and celebrating us coming back. and not only a story about music and culture and this community of people who are just getting after it every single day and loving on each other in the midst of whatever hardships are thrown at them. and people who are dreaming big. you know, it feels like a celebration of life and us coming out of the other side of what we've all been through. >> trevor: you feel that am canning back into the world today. and what-- i think what makes this-- this story so special is that it is quintessential, but at the same time, it feels

fresh, you know. it's a fresh cast. it's a group of talented people who have come together under the guidance of lin-manuel miranda, who you count as one of your fans. i want to know what that relationship has been like for you, like -- >> i mean, i learn something from him every day, how he navigates through the world and changing a lyric here and there, my man is making adjustments here and there. he's a genius. and i think a part of his brilliance is, number one, right, when to know when to lean in and also when to let go and let his collaborators go. do what they got to do. we put together the best group of people we can to make this fly as possible. we don't need a person on the marquee. it's not about one person in the show. it's about the people in the show and it's about the story. that's what it's about. you know, i'm grateful for our relationship. this is, like, the fourth thing we've done together. if he hadn't written this role for himself, this role wouldn't be-- i wouldn't be doing it. we would probably not be talking right now, so, yeah.

>> trevor: you know it's interesting that you say it's not about that one person, it's not about the marquee, it's about the collective effort and all the people who bring the work to make it so special. latino are some of the biggest- movie-goers and yet on screen you seldom see latino characters leading the charge, where they get leading roles. and this feels like something special. tell me what that's like for you. because you have the dream for anthony. and you have to acknowledge there's also a dream for a lot of people out there, whether they're in new york or not going,, yo, that's us." >> in the moment i'm going, yo, i'm doing my best to tell this story as honest as possible and be my best in this particular role. and it's another thing when people are like, "do you understand what you're doing for the community and the culture?" that feels good to hear that. but i really think-- all of us who are part of this film are standing on the shoulders of so many people who didn't have this opportunity. i hope that, you know, not only latinos, but just people around the world who feel like they've not been presented in this one

medium, right, of movies and hollywood and motion pictures, right, that they-- that they can begin to see characters that resemble them because that's the world. people who feel like they've been under-represented in this business, we have to start banging on the door a little bit and be like, yo, i have a story to tell and if no one else is going to write it, i'm going to write it. the more those communities, those people do that, the more of these stories will be told. and i think that the further along we'll get in the process or in the progress of seeing the world represented in hollywood, in movies. >> trevor: yeah, man, you know, in a testament to your talent, we've seen so many people in the industry banging down your door now. you know, you're starring in "in treatment," on hbo. you know, you will be in the new transformers movie. you are also-- you were doing a campaign with meghan the stallion for calvin klein.

i mean-- and on top of all of that, you've got your second album coming out. tell me more about the ambum and what people can expect. >> "love and lies," i said the first album "the good and the and auto biographical story of my life and became a narrative. this second album is like the nitroon six flags. it's if nonstop beats. we have free-style vibes, we have the caribbean, afro beats. you know, ballads, pop vibes, electronicca. there's every kind of flavor for the palette, you know, what i'm saying? and i said the goal is on this album, 12 bangers. that's all i care about. i'm so proud of this record. it's the best music i've written. and i haven't been this excited to put anything out-- i haven't been as excited to put something out as i am for this album. >> trevor: 12 bangers, no skips.

12 bangers. >> 12 smashes. >> trevor: i'll tell you this now, man, if it's half as good as any of the other things you put your effort into, it's going to be a smash hit. congratulations on everything you're doing. thank you for take the time to come on the show. don't crash the car. don't get too arrogant. you just got the license, anthony. we want to see you alive. >> i'm going to take it slow, brother, so i can make it back to you, bro. thanks for having me. >> trevor: have a good one.
