Intro - Was Thanos Actually the Good Guy?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[upbeat music] But I don't think that makes Thanos the good guy. I think that could be like the Avengers are-
- TNTrevor Noah
So-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... bad or morally complicated or whatever-
- TNTrevor Noah
So why isn't he-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... because you're not using him, but-
- TNTrevor Noah
Why isn't he morally complicated? Why is he the bad guy? Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Well, because he kill, I mean, to quote Dr. Banner, "Killed trillions."
- TNTrevor Noah
He didn't, he didn't kill. He didn't kill. He disappeared them.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
No, killed. Come on.
- TNTrevor Noah
They're not there anymore.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Come on, dude. Come on.
- TNTrevor Noah
They're not, they're just not there. They're not there anymore. They're not there.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[laughs] Killed. That, what does that mean?
- TNTrevor Noah
There's a difference between killing and disappearing. Devin, they're not there anymore.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What does that mean?
- TNTrevor Noah
He, he didn't massacre them. He didn't have a private jet. He didn't have a fighter jet.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But the effect is the same.
- TNTrevor Noah
He didn't drop a bomb. No, he just- No, no, no, no, no. That's like saying condoms are responsible for mass murder.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
The effect is the same. Oh, my friend is back. [laughs] The effect is the same. Ah, there we go.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I feel like you've used that line before.
- TNTrevor Noah
No.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Like, "Oh, what I'm gonna-
- TNTrevor Noah
But it, that was just-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... I'm gonna be a mass murderer?"
- TNTrevor Noah
Did you not see- [laughs] ... he went quicker than his eye blink.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I've never heard that.
- TNTrevor Noah
That was just finished.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I've never seen Titanic fully, in, in mission.
- TNTrevor Noah
Oh, you haven't either?
- 2:15 – 10:15
Making Up Fake Traditions to Mess with Guests
- TNTrevor Noah
With Trevor Noah. [upbeat music] I always think of doing things when you meet a new person in a group as well. You can do that just for fun.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah. Just, like-
- TNTrevor Noah
Like what?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... throw them off.
- TNTrevor Noah
So let's say you invite somebody over to your house. Yeah. They've never been there. Mm. But they know you, but they don't know your home. And then you and your family can act like you have a tradition that you don't have. [laughs] So you can just be like, you can just be like, "Before we eat the food, let us say why we are thankful that it exists." And then the next pers- person can just be like, "I like that I can eat." [laughs] And then the other person can be like, "I like that it makes me healthy." And the other person can jump in and be like, "It's good for my bones." Then like, "You, next." Yeah. And then you give it to them, and then they'll be like, "I'm grateful to be here." [laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Just make it up?
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Most people won't go, "Nah, bro." I would. You would? Yeah. Yeah, you- Just to see what happens next. You probably, you probably would.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What is this?
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. Yeah, I'd be like, "Ah, guys, come on. Are we being for real?"
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
Then till someone says, "Yeah." You don't think you'd join in? You would join in.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I would probably join in.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, you'd probably join in.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I would try to figure something out.
- TNTrevor Noah
You're a nice guy.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Well, at, I was at Thanksgiving, 'cause we alternate Thanksgivings with my, like, my family and my wife's family or whatever.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
And one year they just did the Pledge of Allegiance before Thanksgiving. [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Which is not a thing you do on Thanksgiving. But it's like one of the kids had just, like, learned it in school, so it's like, I guess we're doing the Pledge. So I'm standing up like, "Do I have to put my hand on my heart?" Like-
- TNTrevor Noah
And you did it
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... I don't know what the rules are. I don't even know. I was like at a baseball. I'm like-
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... do I have to just... Like, I don't know what the rules are. [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
You take off your hat for the- [laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Well, I couldn't wear, I was, thank- I wasn't wearing a hat, 'cause Thanksgiving dinner, but I was just like, "Okay, I guess I pledge allegiance-"
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, you see-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
"... to the flag." [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, there you go.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But you're like, I, you ha- like, I can't sit during the Pledge at Thanksgiving dinner. [laughs]
- 10:15 – 14:50
How South Africa Remixed Its National Anthem
- TNTrevor Noah
Africa.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
You can tell we couldn't bridge the anthems, 'cause we, we, when we were making the, when we had, when we achieved democracy-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Mm-hmm. Yes
- TNTrevor Noah
... they were like, "What's the national anthem gonna be?" And then we-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
We need a, we need a song.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. People were like-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
We need a, we need a bop. Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... people were like, "Get rid of the old one-"
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Mm-hmm
- TNTrevor Noah
... "because it's racist," or it comes with a racist nation and connotation. And then Mandela was like, "No, no, no, no, no, we can't get rid of the whole old national anthem because then it makes Afrikaans people feel like they're not part of this country when they are, and this is... So we're trying to meld these worlds together." So they're like, "We need a combined anthem."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Mm-hmm.
- TNTrevor Noah
"So we're gonna take a little bit of old anthem, some new anthem, and put in some other... So make a mega, mega anthem."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Sure. Get Timbaland on the phone. [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
Basically make...
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
Basically. And it was great.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
But you can tell. The, the anthem moves really nicely.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
But then there's a part where they try and mix the African part of the anthem-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... with the Anglo-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... and Boer part of it.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
The bridge.
- TNTrevor Noah
Like the white part with the African part.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
You can tell they were in the studio for days with that part. 'Cause, okay, like, just here's the tune. The South African a- the, the, the African part of the anthem has like a, like a, a melody. It's very specific. So [singing] I'm not even gonna say the words, so you just understand.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Okay.
- 14:50 – 38:30
Tesla, Elon Musk & Why Tech Demos Lie
- TNTrevor Noah
the Tesla car?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I knew you were gonna ask me about this. I saw it. What do I think? It... This is the kinda thing where I'm like, I'm reading a book right now about the, the, like, USAID and the Institute of Peace, so I'm like, I have that Elon in my head.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Of like, "Oh, th- he sent these, like, children to go into this building and, like, dismantle it." And them I'm like, "And then he just puts, like ch- like things under a car to make it fly." I'm like, "This is what you should be doing. This is your calling."
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
"To do things like this. You are not, like, the bureaucrat, like, nuts and bolts guy of like-"
- TNTrevor Noah
Leave the ch-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
"... I'm gonna do-"
- TNTrevor Noah
Leave AIDS alone.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yes.
- TNTrevor Noah
Leave Africa alone. Just f-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
With-
- TNTrevor Noah
Focus on flipping cars
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... with rocket-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Flipping car. That's exactly the thing where I'm like, "Oh, all right." Because, yeah, I mean, it's, it's a fun video to watch no matter how you feel.
- TNTrevor Noah
If you... Yeah, I agr- Okay.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
It's a fun video to watch.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. You see, I like that.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yes.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. This is why I like you. Mm.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
This is a fun video to watch.
- TNTrevor Noah
Thank you.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Because I'm always skeptical. I always come in, and I talk about this with Kabuka, is like, I, "What's your angle?" 'Cause when people are known to, like, lie about stuff or exaggerate, I'm like-
- TNTrevor Noah
Mm, mm, mm
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... I'm always a little skeptical.
- TNTrevor Noah
I just-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But I watch the video, I'm like, "This is g-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yes
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... this is fun to watch, this video."
- 38:30 – 39:00
Devin's Dad Survived Lightning AND a Plane Crash
- DDDevin Delliquanti
dad had his plane hit by lightning one time too.
- TNTrevor Noah
Ah, no, you-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Before that
- TNTrevor Noah
... no, no, you should have started with... You should have led with that, bruh.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah, no, before that.
- TNTrevor Noah
Ah, no, Devin.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I wanted it, yeah. Switch it up.
- TNTrevor Noah
No, you, Devin, I see what Eugene means, bruh.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
No, no.
- TNTrevor Noah
No, my man, you should have led with that.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Before. But no, I think, so-
- TNTrevor Noah
My man, I'm out here thinking your dad needs to get over his fears.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
No, no, no. He-
- TNTrevor Noah
Meanwhile, you, it looks like God is coming for your dad, brother.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
No, but, but like-
- TNTrevor Noah
It feels like Final Destination is trying to get your dad.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But that's like, there's, but only plane God is his jurisdiction.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Not everywhere else is gonna-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. Hey, man, meanwhile your dad was the opposite of D.B. Cooper.

Sponsored Break (Google Pixel, Verizon)
- TNTrevor Noah
This segment is brought to you by Google Pixel. Every day it feels like I'm on a new scavenger hunt, but not the fun kind. I'm constantly switching between countless apps just to try and find the information that I need. Like the other day, I was trying to find the address of a restaurant someone had sent me. Simple enough, right? But then this is what happened. I opened my messages. I saw a video somebody sent me of a parrot singing opera, and then the next thing I know, I'm watching an interview with a woman who trains parrots. 20 minutes later, I know the average lifespan of a macaw. I've forgotten where I'm supposed to have dinner, and I'm wondering whether I have what it takes to raise a bird that might outlive me. Enough with digital rabbit holes. Thankfully, my Google Pixel 11 is designed with Gemini Intelligence. Helpful suggestions pop up right in the text thread when I'm making plans, proactively pulling up restaurant details, calendar availability, or live flight info.

Devin's Parents Survived a Plane Crash in Spain
- TNTrevor Noah
Did your-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
You approached it
- TNTrevor Noah
... did your parents survive a plane crash?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yes.
- TNTrevor Noah
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What?
- TNTrevor Noah
I remember that. I was like-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
You remember
- TNTrevor Noah
... Eugene will find this fascinating.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Why didn't you lead with that?
- TNTrevor Noah
What? In my head, do you know what I thought? In my head, I thought, "Ah, Eugene's probably gonna wonder why he d- doesn't start with that."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What a-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... what a waste. How long? F- 20 minutes of... [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Guys, we could have-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, they-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... led with that.
- TNTrevor Noah
What, what am I gonna g- "Hey, man, nice to meet you. Hey, can I tell you my parents, they, uh, yeah."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Absolutely.
- TNTrevor Noah
Really?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
First thi- first thing.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
If I survived Ebola, you think I wouldn't lead with that? [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs] Whoa. I mean, just, I would-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah. [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Would I not lead with that? [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
Hand sanitize first. Like, that's politeness. This is not like-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
You'd be more subtle.
- 56:45 – 1:04:15
Sneaking Into Movies in South Africa
- TNTrevor Noah
the first time I went to watch The Matrix, go into the, the, the cinema, and I watch the movie. I'm like, "This is the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
I don't understand it, though.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
I'm like, "Wait, what, what... I don't... I have to see it again. I don't have the money to just go see a m-movie again." So what I would do then is I would sneak into the movies, right? So the best way to sneak into the movies was to use people exiting a movie. You, you, and then you go into the movies. But now the problem is-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Right, right. Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... there's the, the time-
- EUEugene
In between, yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... between showings.
- EUEugene
What he said, there's, there's-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... people are cleaning the theater.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
They're clean- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, so you can't just go wait for the-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Right
- TNTrevor Noah
... you can't be like, "No, I'm good. I'm gonna wait for Neo to come."
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah. [laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
No. There's none of that. They'll kick you out. So what I'd do is I'd wait for people to be leaving any movie, right? So then I'd wait for The Matrix to leave, and then I would go in with them, basically. I'd just be like, "Oh, I forgot something, my wallet-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yes
- TNTrevor Noah
... or whatever." I'd run back in.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Mm-hmm.
- TNTrevor Noah
And then when I'd come out, I'd just go into Titanic, 'cause Titanic was like three hours long.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Okay.
- TNTrevor Noah
And then I would go sit in Titanic.
- EUEugene
Mm.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Oh.
- TNTrevor Noah
And Titanic's last hour would get me through to the next showing of The Matrix.
- EUEugene
Yes, because you already passed the ticket check.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
And then when Titan- when Titanic would leave, I would just go start The Matrix again.
- 1:04:15 – 1:10:50
The Debate: Should Porn Have Storylines?
- SPSpeaker
you see, like, porn is legal, but I would say, like, no, y- all porn has to have a story. Really?
- EUEugene
Hey, Trevor, we don't have that much time.
- SPSpeaker
This is exactly my point.
- EUEugene
Hm?
- SPSpeaker
That, what you're just saying now.
- EUEugene
Yes, exactly.
- SPSpeaker
That is exactly why.
- EUEugene
Hey, my ex-husband. Hi. Hey, mama.
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- EUEugene
Let's do.
- SPSpeaker
Exactly.
- EUEugene
Uh, uh. Hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Exactly. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why.
- EUEugene
Uh-uh.
- SPSpeaker
I think that pornography as we think of it is as old as time. Do you get what I'm saying?
- EUEugene
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
It is just as changed-
- EUEugene
I mean, there's painting. Yeah, yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. There's painting-
- EUEugene
Statues
- SPSpeaker
... statues, et cetera.
- EUEugene
No, no, no, no. Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
So it's as old as time. So I'm not gonna be one of those people who's like, "Ah, pornography, no." I mean, the human body, people, it's fine.
- EUEugene
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
Whatever. The issue I have now with porn is that it's too readily available-
- EUEugene
Mm-hmm
- SPSpeaker
... and it removes the context of sex as a whole.
- EUEugene
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
So what-
- EUEugene
It's strictly object.
- 1:10:50 – 1:17:00
Why the Theme Park Skip Pass Ruined the Fun
- TNTrevor Noah
I love theme parks and roller coasters. Love them. Love them, loved them my whole life. America has some of the best, craziest theme parks you've ever been to. When I first got to California, my friend David Meyer was like, "Yo, let's go." Took me to a theme park, Six Flags. The wildest r- I mean, I came from a place where-
- SPSpeaker
Man to man
- TNTrevor Noah
... we only had one roller coaster that did a loop.
- EUEugene
Oh, yes. Anaconda
- TNTrevor Noah
And it only did one loop. No, Anaconda was later on.
- EUEugene
Oh, at Gold Reef City?
- TNTrevor Noah
Y- yeah. There was the-
- EUEugene
Okay
- TNTrevor Noah
... there was just the one that did a loop.
- EUEugene
Okay, okay.
- TNTrevor Noah
That was it.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- EUEugene
Okay.
- TNTrevor Noah
We had one loop in my entire existence.
- EUEugene
[laughs] Okay.
- TNTrevor Noah
And that was it.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- TNTrevor Noah
Okay? Came to a country where there were loops, plural-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... on multiple rides.
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- TNTrevor Noah
I was in heaven.
- EUEugene
Mm.
- TNTrevor Noah
The only thing that got me was, man, I just... Uh, the lines. I was like, "I'm w- it's like a... You wait a, an hour and then you ride for like 40 seconds."
- EUEugene
Ooh.
- TNTrevor Noah
You wait an hour and you ride for like 40 seconds, and maybe a minute if you're lucky. 30 sec- 20... You're like, "How quick are these rides?" But you're waiting for an hour every single time. And all I dreamed of was I was like, "Man, I wish there was a way to skip the lines. I wish there was a way to skip the lines." Fast-forward a few years, I then discover a thing that you can buy at theme parks where they let you skip-
- SPSpeaker
The fast pass, the lightning lane. Yeah, yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... the line completely. You skip the line.
- EUEugene
Beautiful.
- TNTrevor Noah
Right? Skip the line, and then on, like, certain days, if you're a member as well, there's m- fewer people in the park as well.
- 1:17:00 – 1:22:40
The Avengers Are the Democrats (Perfect Allegory)
- TNTrevor Noah
The Avengers is the perfect allegory for the Democrats in America.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yes.
- EUEugene
Tell me more.
- TNTrevor Noah
It is like the... If you, if you watch the movie and if you, like, look at, like, the Democrats in America, you go, this, to me, it almost seems like somebody did it on purpose. They went, "Let's make a story about people who like to see themselves as heroes, but when they have the power, don't actually do anything with it." Everybody has that oddly specific thing that they're curious about. Maybe it's restoring old watches. Maybe it's Japanese ceramic making. Maybe it's watching someone explain why one bridge in a remote area of Norway is secretly better than all the other bridges in the world. YouTube always has exactly what you're looking for, even when you didn't know you were looking for it. With YouTube Premium, those deep dives feel even smoother. You get ad-free viewing, but you also get background play when you need your hands free. And you get offline downloads so you can keep watching wherever you happen to be, even if you happen to be off the grid. It's everything you already love about YouTube, just somehow even better. Yeah, one of my favorite YouTube Premium features is smart downloads. Because how many times have you gone somewhere and realized, "Ugh, I forgot to download anything"? And now you're on the way to the airport and you're like, "Download, download, download, download." You're on the plane, "Download, download, download, download." There's no Wi-Fi. "I wish I downloaded." Now all of those things that you were gonna watch are, are just on the internet. Smart downloads basically thinks ahead for you. It automatically downloads recommended videos based on what you like to watch, so even when you forget to prepare, YouTube Premium didn't. I love it. It's like packing for a trip and discovering somebody already remembered the thing you always leave at home. It's always the underwear. If you like YouTube, you'll love YouTube Premium.

- DDDevin Delliquanti
Not yet.
- TNTrevor Noah
Hey, please go watch it.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I want to. I will. I've heard people who have seen it are like, "You gotta see it." So, yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
That's, that's all it needs.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Okay. All right.
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I've- I definitely wanna see it.
- TNTrevor Noah
I was saying to Eugene, I'm tired of movies that everyone walks out of being like, "That was great, wasn't it?"
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah.
- TNTrevor Noah
We're all just, like, mindless minions. Mm. Like, "That was wonderful, wasn't it?" Mm. Boring.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah. I'm a Tom Cruise apolo- like, e- anything. Anything.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, but Digger, let me tell you something now. I'll say, number one, if he's not nominated for an Oscar, then I don't understand what the Oscars are about.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Really?
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah. genuine. Never mind. Yeah. Win, I, I see win- True ... as always, like, a quirky thing. Yeah, yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
See, because Magnolia for me, I was like, he really has it.
- TNTrevor Noah
Let me tell you something. Mm, he has. Mm.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
He has that-
- TNTrevor Noah
Definitely. You're not ready
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... like, something depth of emo- For Digger?
- TNTrevor Noah
If he doesn't- You're right ... get nominated for Digger, then I don't understand what acting nominations are about.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
All right.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
I'm excited.
- TNTrevor Noah
Okay? Yeah. That- that's for me. Secondly, the movie itself, you, you just... When was the last time you went to a movie where you genuinely did not know what was gonna happen? I love Spider-Man-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Yeah
- TNTrevor Noah
... as much as anybody else.
- 1:22:40 – 1:31:30
Watching Marvel Movies with Kids
- DDDevin Delliquanti
then we watched, uh, we've done all of them. Loved Endgame. And then we saw Endgame in the theater.
- TNTrevor Noah
How?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Because they re-released it. They did it once for-
- TNTrevor Noah
You kids of South Africa, how do you do this? [laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[laughs]
- TNTrevor Noah
You not kidding?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Kids, you need to know. Come in the ha- the halfway point. What do you mean? They're dust.
- TNTrevor Noah
[laughs]
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What are you talking about? Yeah. [laughs] I'm so confused. Um, but no, so we did that, and then we've slowly been making our way through and trying to figure it out. But then we keep seeing these little leaks of, like, what it's gonna be like. 'Cause the kids are eight and five. I'm like, I don't wanna traumatize them forever-
- TNTrevor Noah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... if I don't know-
- TNTrevor Noah
No, you, you gotta know ahead of time
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... what it's gonna be.
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
And we're not even telling them, like, who's playing Doctor Doom.
- TNTrevor Noah
No, you can't.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
And that almost was spoiled today for, for one of our kids, and we're just like, ar, like-
- TNTrevor Noah
Yeah, don't
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... how do we, how do we keep it secret?
- TNTrevor Noah
Hm.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
So, but it's, it's fun.
- TNTrevor Noah
What was their favorite one so far?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Uh, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 is great. They love all the Spider-Man movies.
- TNTrevor Noah
I can see Guardians being good for kids, actually.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
It's very fun with the music.
- TNTrevor Noah
It's very, like, goofy and, uh-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
And Endgame is fun, 'cause it's kind of like you go through it all, and, like, there are jokes in it. So they like that. Um-
- TNTrevor Noah
Wait, Endgame is the first one or the second one?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Endgame is the second one.
- TNTrevor Noah
Okay. Okay.
- 1:31:30 – 1:46:25
Full Debate: Thanos Was Right
- TNTrevor Noah
okay, okay, okay, I don't wanna lose this fight," now you release them?
- DDDevin Delliquanti
This is, this is fair.
- EUEugene
And you still get fucked up.
- TNTrevor Noah
Thank you.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But so then, but I don't think that makes Thanos the good guy. I think that could be, like, the Avengers are-
- TNTrevor Noah
So-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
... bad or morally complicated or whatever it is.
- TNTrevor Noah
So why isn't he-
- DDDevin Delliquanti
We're not using the-
- TNTrevor Noah
Why isn't he morally complicated? Why is he the bad guy?
- EUEugene
Yeah.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Well, because he kill... I mean, to quote Dr. Banner, killed trillions.
- TNTrevor Noah
He didn't, he didn't kill.
- EUEugene
He didn't kill. He disappeared them.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
No, killed. Come on.
- EUEugene
They're not there anymore.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
Killed them, come on.
- TNTrevor Noah
They're not, they're just not there.
- EUEugene
They're not there anymore.
- TNTrevor Noah
They're not there.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
[laughs] Killed them. What does that mean?
- TNTrevor Noah
There's a difference between killing and disappearing.
- EUEugene
Devin, they're not there anymore.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
What does that mean?
- EUEugene
He di- he didn't massacre them. He didn't have a private jet. He didn't have a fighter jet.
- DDDevin Delliquanti
But the effect is the same.
- EUEugene
He didn't drop a bomb.
- TNTrevor Noah
No.
- EUEugene
No, he just-
- TNTrevor Noah
No, no, no. No, no. That's like saying condoms are responsible for mass murder.
- 1:46:25 – 1:46:50
