NYC SESSIONS: Why Thanos Was Right ft. Devin Delliquanti

1. 0:00 – 2:15

   Intro - Was Thanos Actually the Good Guy?

   1. DDDevin Delliquanti0:00

      [upbeat music] But I don't think that makes Thanos the good guy. I think that could be, like, the Avengers are-

   2. TNTrevor Noah0:06

      So-

   3. DDDevin Delliquanti0:06

      ... bad or morally complicated or whatever, so you're not using him-

   4. TNTrevor Noah0:09

      So why isn't he, why isn't he morally complicated? Why is he the bad guy? Yeah.

   5. DDDevin Delliquanti0:12

      Well, because he kill, I mean, to quote Dr. Banner, "Killed trillions."

   6. TNTrevor Noah0:17

      He didn't, he didn't kill. He didn't kill. He disappeared them.

   7. DDDevin Delliquanti0:19

      No, killed. Come on.

   8. TNTrevor Noah0:19

      They're not there anymore.

   9. DDDevin Delliquanti0:20

      Come on.

   10. TNTrevor Noah0:20

       They're not, they're just not there. They're not there anymore. They're not there.

   11. DDDevin Delliquanti0:23

       [laughs] He killed them. What does that mean?

   12. TNTrevor Noah0:24

       There's a difference between killing and disappearing. Devin, they're not there anymore.

   13. DDDevin Delliquanti0:25

       What does that mean?

   14. TNTrevor Noah0:26

       He, he didn't massacre them. He didn't have a private jet. He didn't have a fighter jet.

   15. DDDevin Delliquanti0:29

       But the effect is the same.

   16. TNTrevor Noah0:29

       He didn't drop a bomb. No, he just- No, no, no, no, no. That's like saying condoms are responsible for mass murder.

   17. DDDevin Delliquanti0:34

       [laughs]

   18. TNTrevor Noah0:35

       The effect is the same. My friend is back. [laughs] The effect is the same. Ah, there we go.

   19. DDDevin Delliquanti0:41

       I feel like you've used that line before.

   20. TNTrevor Noah0:43

       No.

   21. DDDevin Delliquanti0:44

       Like, "Oh, what I'm gonna, I'm gonna be a mass murderer?"

   22. TNTrevor Noah0:46

       That was just... Trevor, you read that quicker than his eyes. That was just released. No.

   23. DDDevin Delliquanti0:50

       I've never seen Titanic fully, in, in mission.

   24. TNTrevor Noah0:52

       Oh, you haven't either?

   25. DDDevin Delliquanti0:53

       I have not seen it.

   26. TNTrevor Noah0:53

       Never. Well, what's your ex-

   27. DDDevin Delliquanti0:54

       But my parents were in a plane crash. I had to be on ships. [laughs] I couldn't be thinking about Titanic, right? I couldn't be like, like-

   28. TNTrevor Noah1:01

       [laughs] Oh, damn

   29. DDDevin Delliquanti1:02

       ... I, I was like, "No."

   30. TNTrevor Noah1:03

       [laughs]
2. 2:15 – 10:15

   Making Up Fake Traditions to Mess with Guests

   1. TNTrevor Noah2:15

      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.

   2. DDDevin Delliquanti2:28

      Yeah, just like-

   3. TNTrevor Noah2:28

      Like what?

   4. DDDevin Delliquanti2:28

      ... throw them off.

   5. TNTrevor Noah2:30

      So let's say you invite somebody over to your house. Yeah. They've never been there. Mm-hmm. 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]

   6. DDDevin Delliquanti3:12

      Just make it up?

   7. TNTrevor Noah3:13

      Yeah, no, no, no. Most people won't go, "Nah, bro." I would. You would? Yeah. Yeah. Just to see what happens next. You probably, you probably would.

   8. DDDevin Delliquanti3:21

      What is this?

   9. TNTrevor Noah3:21

      Yeah. Yeah, I'd be like, "Ah, guys, come on. Are we being for real?"

   10. DDDevin Delliquanti3:24

       Yeah.

   11. TNTrevor Noah3:24

       Then till someone says, "Yeah." You don't think you'd join in? You would join in.

   12. DDDevin Delliquanti3:27

       I would probably join in.

   13. TNTrevor Noah3:28

       Yeah, you'd probably join in.

   14. DDDevin Delliquanti3:28

       I would try to figure something out.

   15. TNTrevor Noah3:30

       You're a nice guy.

   16. DDDevin Delliquanti3:30

       Well, at, I was at Thanksgiving, 'cause we alternate Thanksgivings with my, like, my family and my wife's family or whatever.

   17. TNTrevor Noah3:36

       Yeah.

   18. DDDevin Delliquanti3:36

       And one year they just did the Pledge of Allegiance before Thanksgiving [laughs]

   19. TNTrevor Noah3:39

       [laughs]

   20. DDDevin Delliquanti3:39

       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 sitting there, I'm like, "Do I have to put my hand on my heart?"

   21. TNTrevor Noah3:47

       And you did it.

   22. DDDevin Delliquanti3:48

       I'm like, "I don't know what the rules are." I don't even know. I was like at a baseball, I'm like, "Do I have to just..."

   23. TNTrevor Noah3:53

       [laughs]

   24. DDDevin Delliquanti3:53

       Like, I don't know what the rules are.

   25. TNTrevor Noah3:54

       You take off your hat for the-

   26. DDDevin Delliquanti3:55

       [laughs]

   27. TNTrevor Noah3:56

       ... anything?

   28. DDDevin Delliquanti3:56

       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 to the flag."

   29. TNTrevor Noah4:02

       Yeah, you see. Yeah, there you go.

   30. DDDevin Delliquanti4:03

       [laughs] But you're like, I, you ha- like, I can't sit during the Pledge at Thanksgiving dinner.
3. 10:15 – 14:50

   How South Africa Remixed Its National Anthem

   1. TNTrevor Noah10:15

      Africa.

   2. DDDevin Delliquanti10:16

      [laughs]

   3. TNTrevor Noah10:17

      You can tell we couldn't bridge the anthems, 'cause we, we, when we were making the, when we had, when we achieved democracy-

   4. DDDevin Delliquanti10:24

      Mm-hmm. Yes

   5. TNTrevor Noah10:25

      ... they were like, "What's the national anthem gonna be?" And then-

   6. DDDevin Delliquanti10:27

      We need a, we need a song.

   7. TNTrevor Noah10:28

      Yeah. People were like-

   8. DDDevin Delliquanti10:29

      We need a, we need a bop. Yeah

   9. TNTrevor Noah10:30

      ... people were like, "Get rid of the old one-"

   10. DDDevin Delliquanti10:31

       Mm-hmm

   11. TNTrevor Noah10:31

       ... "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-"
