I love how Patton immediately realizes he’s entered one of the few nerd wars he won’t win.
And he went in anyway.
He has no fear when there is nerding to be done:
ua-cam.com/video/4pVEUteIE4E/v-deo.html
ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT
That's the barbarian in him
It’s not about the winning, it’s about the rightness of the cause
Funny how the conversation shifted to Stephen King tho *sips tea*
Only just seeing this now and damn, Patton had his shit together a month before the country started taking action.
A year before :)
@@wchenful The country is not the government.
@@DrLipkin Lets go by statistics then ... it still hasn't started XD
April 2021. So many new cases in my state. People STILL not taking it seriously.
He kept his wedding ring with his late wife, but he wears it on the other hand, to honor her.
He's a great guy. He doesn't try to replace her, he still always keeps her with him.
@Black Rod have you listened or read any of the interviews about this?
Black Rod stupid comment
I was wondering what was going on with the rings
@Black Rod For their daughter. No judgment about how people recreate their lives and families after such a tragedy. And how wonderful that his second wife is so gracious about his respect for his first wife!
The wife that he killed
Little did we know Patton was ahead of his time with the mask wearing!
Part of me wants to be like you shouldn't be about Covid Steven until I remember stuff I said around the same time.
Just to let you know they wore masks in 1918 too
BIG BRAINY SMARTY
Came here to make this comment, thank you!
I started wearing a mask on planes about 4 years ago, and it made everything about flying better. Germs aside, it keeps your mouth from drying out
That "censoring things" was brilliant
Yeah, he really got Stephen there. Dang🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, totally planned.
@@dreamervanroom Your life must really suck to be so cynical...
I thought Stephen was going to start a tickle fight there before I realized he was just trying to grab Patton's arm.
Besting Stephen colbert.....that is no joke people......wowzer short in stature, towering in intellect.
The look Patton gives when the “eh” registered in his mind 😂
@5:54
So good
Patton's look is one that says "A rival nerd has entered the arena. An enemy to be met in battle! "
OG KRIEG And thusly Stephen lays his trap for our intrepid warrior....
That look is legit how I was when I saw the title. I love the hobbit
I didn't know how much I need these two interacting in my life. I could watch an entire show of just Patton and Stephen talking to each other.
Cole Cousins Agreed. Completely made my day.
Me too!
Add in Joe Mangianello for the D&D angle and it is a perfect trifecta!
Foreshadowing in February: "I'm traveling every weekend, and I'm very paranoid about the coronavirus"
Its ironic how Stephen is busting his chops for wearing a mask. February 7th feels like two years ago.
A year later, it feels like five.
...it’s...it’s only been a year?
It was.
PETER JACKSON: Stephen, how would you like to be in "The Desolation of Smaug"?
STEPHEN COLBERT: Meh...I don't know.
Craig496 that’s actually completely wrong because he is so proud of his acting role
@@coultergill7728 That's what makes his reaction to the book so weird.
Craig496 even though he isn’t necessarily a fan of the book he literally all the time talks about how proud he is to he “head of the Laketown spy network”
@@Craig496 Why? You can be meh about a part of something but love the whole. He got to become part of the world he loves, even if it was in a meh adaption of a book that he thinks is meh in his favourite world. It's like thinking Bobba Fett is meh, but loving Star Wars, you are still going to be super stoked if asked to play as a mandalorian in a movie.
@@Wookie_oo7 is that you, Stephen?
8:35 The greatest comeback and greatest reaction in late night history
I'm glad I read before leaving a comment, I couldn't have say it better! Cujos to you... I meant kudos! ;)
Colbert always gives credit where it's due and that was a masterful touché
It’s doubly great because that comeback made sure that it was going to air and be impossible to censor because it’s too funny to leave out.
@@silverblue73 I'd like to see these two play chess
Oh how ahead of the curve was Mr. Patton Oswalt, re COVID-19.
Pretty ahead... I was with him. The writing was on the wall when you saw doctors in wuhan indicate that aerosol transmission was happening. And it was not fun.
@Shawn N yep. 300K+ lives lost and hospital ICU’s full wave after wave, but your right, it’s all overblown. Smfh.
@Shawn N You know, just because you try to prevent and treat a virus doesnt make it less deadly. If its so important to you that "the greatest country" also has "the greatest plague" then sure go ahead seems like you already got "the greatest idiots"
@Shawn N Always blaming the mean ol media? LOL How many batshit conspiracies can you put into one post? Jeez...
@Shawn N that never happened, at least not in the eyes of non Qanon believers. Nobody who died of a car accident had a COD listed as COVID. Today, we’re closing in REPORTED cases 25 million cases, 410K deaths, 4 new variants of the virus, and yet you still have the audacity to say this is overblown by the media. WAKE UP.
I’m glad and relieved to hear your family members recovered, but that isn’t the case with many others. I, in fact just recently lost a grandmother-in-law due to COVID. She led a full life, but the fact that we couldn’t personally communicate with her the entire time she was sick, knowing her fate, was gut wrenching. That is the part they don’t talk enough about in the news. The fact that these people who come down with severe cases are left to fight this alone, no family or friends. Bless the healthcare workers for their love and assistance, but it’s not family.
So no, I don’t and will never share your view that this virus and the way it’s being reported is overkill. It’s not. Thank goodness we finally have a leader who seems to actually care about it and wont try and sweep it and it’s statistics under the rug.
Best Patton Oswalt line of all time (directed at his parents):
"I'm a fat comedian with OCD! THIS IS NOT GOOD PARENTING!"
(Paraphrasing) "Then he pulls out a silvery metallic balloon...PERFECT FOR SWORDS..."
"I'm a little worried about the Coronavirus..."
Famous last words
@@manuelgalipeau3872 Pretty sure famous last words were "it's just like the flu."
@@TheFiddleFaddle Or "Q said its fake"
Aged well.
Pattion Oswald predicted the future.
One of my greatest joys in life was nightly bedtime reading to my younger son. One of my proudest times was after years of reading the first six Harry Potter books to him, he was the nightly reader of the seventh book to me.
That was a great time for me and my children too. And we had to wait until the next one came out, it made it all the more exciting. I think there was an interval of about three years between the third and fourth, book, torture! Reminds me of the old days when we had to wait for a letter to arrive in the mail, sometimes for weeks. Delayed gratification has disappeared nowadays, but hail to Harry Potter anyway!
My mom and I did the same thing! We read the first four and caught up to JK publishing in maybe a year or two, then I think she finally was like "I know you can read the last three on your own and don't want you to have wait for us to read them, so go ahead and read them without me!"
My uncle and I read out loud to each other every night, up until about high school. They're still my best memories 😊
This is one of the best interviews I have seen from Colbert on this show.
This is a dangerous concentration of weapons grade wit on one stage.
oki..
True, but worth the risk. I did wear one of those little masks, though I don't know of it did any good...
True. But I definitely don't want it to be diluted in any way
Only if you include sharpened pencils
weapons grade shills for the military industrial complex and big government
Props for Stephen’s “Assassin’s Creed” reference!
props to his writers
Timestamp?
@@lilshabaz1862 Which writers?
Seriously? You people don't know where in the video he literally says Assassin's Creed? He wasn't exactly subtle.
@Brandon Vladovic oh he definitely has writers. 100 percent. he's definitely the head writer, but he's not the only one.
Stephen's face at the end needs to become a meme
S. Kowalczyk 8:46?
My dad read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings to me as bedtime stories starting when I was 6. It took us two years, and it was perfect 😍
My dad did, too. Wonderful memories. ❤
My daughter is about to turn 3 and I loved those books... Something I'll have to keep in mind. Thanks!
I'm doing that right now. We just reached Tom Bombadil.
Oh he's so spot on about the 70s and books. I remember being in 8th grade and I was reading "The Exocist" and my math teacher asked me if my parents knew I was reading it, and I said, "uh yeah, my dad gave it to me"
Yep. Read the Shining as a kid in the 70's because it was in the bookcase. I don't think that's a bad thing though, because kids can stop reading if the book is disturbing them. If it's engrossing them, then great!
@@RictusHolloweye My parents had a huge library and I was never forbidden from reading anything at all. I remember overhearing one of my mother's friends scolding her about it, and when I asked her later my mother told me that in her view, if something wasn't "appropriate" for my age I would find it either boring or incomprehensible, in which latter case I was always free to ask her or my dad for help. She was right, too -- I remember attempting to read political or philosophical stuff and finding it mostly dull (because I lacked so much background knowledge), or my first sex scenes when I was still a child (they went right over my head). But what persisted for a lifetime was my love of reading, I think fostered by my parents' wisdom.
In my 5th grade class (10-11), a bunch of kids had already read IT. Different people suggested it to me. I ask the first person what it was about, and after that I told everyone No. I don't think so! Maybe later! I want something upbeat, life sucks enough right now without..all of that. Jesus!
It upset me as an adult.
I was reading H P Lovecraft at 11 - I remember a sleepover for a friends 12th birthday, and telling him all about them; he had nightmares afterwards and his parents were NOT happy with me.
I was lucky enough to see Patton several times when he was still doing lots of underground comedy standup in L.A. before he was a household name or on King of Queens. 1 of the best standup comedians of all time. Dark - quick - surreal jokes - nerdy stuff - brilliant.
Patton Oswald is a National Treasure, Comedy Gold.. (and he is not Impeached)
Well he does not make 'perfect' phone calls.
I think we should impeach him for crimes against mundanity.
He's the Somewhat Unstable Genius
Dale Jones I used to feel sorry for him on “ the king of queens “ because of the way he was treated, I know ...only a TV show but still felt bad for him. After realizing he is a dipshit in real life I bet the cast wanted to beat the crap out of him everyday. This national treasure should be exported to Venezuela along with commie colbert. Impeach that. MAGA TRUMP 2020.
@@Dixler683 ok edgelord
Idk what was more hilarious, Patton’s comeback or Stephen’s slide over the desk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I started with The Hobbit at 10 or 11 and it sparked my love for all things Tolkien. I can understand how having read The Lord Of The Rings, proceeding to The Hobbit makes it seem small and inconsequential but if it where you begin, it's like a warm greeting into a world that just keeps growing with you. It's fantastic! It was also written as a bedtime story FOR Tolkien's son so it would be PERFECT for Patton to read aloud with his daughter...just saying.
Perfect description. The Hobbit is the heart of it all!
My friends got me started on that wonderful journey and had me start with the Hobbit, very grateful. Having read them several times.
the little nerd slap fight at the end, when Stephen wanted to lift his hand in the air...
MrTingles I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.
Issat tap-dancing crab demon?!
Did Stephen just go OVER the desk..!?!
IKR? 😄
I love it
I have been scrolling for several minutes and i was wondering why everyone is overlooking the desk leap
Man, I am nearly half his age and I probably wouldn't be able to do that so seamlessly!
He looked like a Detective in an action movie doing the "car hood slide" to get in the car before a chase scene. I would watch a Stephen Colbert/ Patton Oswald action- cop drama.
Me: John Krasinski's DM is the best part of this interview
This Interview: Hold my beer
Me: OK, Patton's stunned look when Stephen shrugs off The Hobbit is the best part.
This Interview: Hold my other beer
Me: OK, Stephen's reaction to Patton's comeback is the best part
This interview: Thanks for holding my beers. [Chugs both beers]
What amazing chemistry and that comeback at the end was great!
Love Patton Oswalt! One of a kind and a treasure. Just an incredibly strong, amazing & great example of what we need.
The Hobbit is my favorite novel. It kinda hurts to hear that "eh." :/ I agree it's not high literature compared to The Lord of the Rings, but it wasn't meant to be. It was written as a children's book. It's also the start of an amazing storytelling world.
Zachary Drummond
Yep, never skip the Hobbit. For riddles in the dark alone.
I don't agree with him but I understand Stephen's viewpoint based on him mentioning that he'd already read LotR several times before reading The Hobbit. LotR is a saga in which the fate of an entire realm is at stake while The Hobbit is a wonderful but focused adventure story that was never intended to have the scope of LotR. I think reading it before LotR would give you more appreciation for The Hobbit than reading it after LotR.
Dean Clark: I say be a _real_ hipster and start with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bored_of_the_Rings
Dean Clark plus, The Hobbit was written for children.
Eh
(Heh heh)
I also love it because I read it first when I was nine. But then The Lord of the Rings blew me away when I was eleven and I've read it multiple times over since then (maybe six times?). The Hobbit I read once at nine and then again at seventeen immediately after graduating high school.
Similarly, I've never loved Star Wars (A New Hope) that much. Never saw it til I was in high school. Was just too young. But I saw Empire and Return in theaters as a kid and adore them. And now I also believe they're way better as an adult too! Haha
But it's when you fall in love with a thing that matters.
3:33 Yet another reason to love Patton Oswalt AND John Krasinski
@Mr. 8-Bit Doggo But Patton Oswalt would never lie!! Would he?? lol
That was a HELUVA smack-down by Patton at the end. LOVE those guys!!!!!!!!
"It's (about) a killer dog, Cujo, enjoy." Ah, parenting of the 1970s.
I love how real Stephen Colbert is. I'd rather see those slightly-awkward parts of the conversation than that over-the-top rehearsed BS that the producers/writers have to dish out sometimes. Colbert deserves to have a lot of legroom in that regard. He's a fantastic interviewer because he can empathize with the guest. Hope he's doing well.
The worst part of this interview: "We have to take a break..."
yeah, that part realllly sucked :(
Best comeback by Patton and Best Colbert reaction ever!!! Lovedddddddddd this interaction by miles ❤️🥂🤣
The look of sheer glee that Second City alum Stephen Colbert gets at 8:41 when he realizes he just heard a MASTER callback. THAT is how you "Yes, and...", people.
This was a legendary interview.
It was epic. I had to replay it, and watch Stephen slide over the desk again 😄
I love seeing patton and Stephen together, they seem like they have a genuine friendship
When I was a kid the Hobbit was my favorite book by far. I agree more with Patton. The Hobbit is a great stepping stone into the violence of LOTR. To not include the Hobbit when you think LOTR is a mistake.
Not to mention The Hobbit has several deaths at the end AND a massive battle.
Patton is one of those omnipresent - brilliant - actors who we’d miss if not there! His humour is brilliant!
Patton Oswalt is a legend! Most of his roles are iconic, but his most remarkable role in my opinion is Spence Olchin in The King of Queens!
Constable Bob in Justified.
Star Wars filibuster in P & R.
FeelItRising ❤️
I think King of Queens held him back. He is so much funnier then that character.
Habitt5253 I showed that clip to my students as an example of fan fiction lol
The funniest part is the grunt when Stephen raises Patton’s arm. Delivered like a true master voice actor.
It was funny because Patton was sure he was going to fight him
Patton's face at 5:55 is priceless.
You can see his brain absolutely malfunction.
I love it whenever Stephen talks about LoTR. And this entire interview was just so much fun and entertaining to watch. Patton Oswalt's video--I gotta be honest--made me a bit misty-eyed, because I remember my dad doing the same thing with me when I was a kid. And that censorship comeback? GOLD!
in my next life, I would really, really like to have Patton as my Dad...
Klara Stern Or Stephen 🤣.
"The Dark is Rising" pentalogy by Susan Cooper (written 1965 - 1977). Awesome fantsy novel for older children and sadly barely noticed... First book is called "Over Sea, Under Stone".
GREAT books! Loved them!
@@super_slo Oh, nice! Someone who knows and loves them. 😘
Colbert interviews always seem far less rehearsed than Kimmel or Fallon ones.
theunsolvedcase more honest and less ass kissy
When you have depth and intelligence on a wide range of topics, you can go in any direction with ease, instead of having to steer a conversation into your own comfort-zone ...
fallon is extremely unwatchable. his giggling and excitement is distracting.
Kimmel I can deal with a bit but Fallon?!! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Look up Vic Berger's edits of Fallon on UA-cam, good stuff
WOW Stephen’s face when he realized he just got owned by Patton, he was so thrilled haha 😂
I get where Stephen is coming from.
But if you're reading the books to your daughter who has never experienced that world, skipping The Hobbit seems a bit heartless.
I've always been torn on this, Razelluxe from two years ago. . . Like, on one hand, I like the idea of shrouding the Ring in mystery and legend. Why was this powerful artifact with Bilbo? Who is that strange creature who wanted the Ring? How did Bilbo know Gandalf? And where did Sting come from? etc etc etc. In that respect, The Hobbit feels more like the Silmarilian(sp?) in that respect. It's not about the main story, but it's supporting information. Perhaps the *most important* pieces of supporting information, sure... but still not really part of the main story.
Very interesting, but honestly, I'd also say it's best to start with The Hobbit because it establishes a bit more of the world, as it could be, warts and all, rather than what Sauron wanted for it. Yes, there were fire-breathing dragons stealing hoardes of gold. But there was also song, and laughter and adventure~!
I can see both sides. Wonder how Oswalt decided to go with it...
Now I want to watch a show of Colbert and Oswalt interviewing the nerdyist celebrities. Joe Manganiello could be the first guest.
Ok
I'm glad everyone has decided that "The Cursed Child" doesn't exist. 7 books is plenty.
What's wrong with Cursed Child? It works. Sort of...
the cursed child is fan fiction: change my mind!
@@darkmyro It was written and approved by JK rowling?
@@AC3handle it was a joke, and I'm not even that big a fan of the books.
@@darkmyro dont knock fanfiction. There are absolute pearls in the world of fanfiction which are longer, have more substance and understanding of the original world. Cursed child is bad fanfiction
What a delightful conversation, loved every second of it.
It's so damn touching that he still wears his dead wife's wedding ring.
Sarcasm, perhaps? In case it's not, he has since remarried after his first wife died. To actress Meredith Salenger, who from all angles is doing a wonderful job in helping him raise his young daughter. 🙂
@@m.c.5795 Sarcasm? Why on Earth would it be sarcasm? Do you know what that word means? He is obviously wearing both rings because he never stopped loving his dead wife and obviously loves his current wife. It's an act of love and remembrance.
@@dmjdmj woah I didnt notice he was wearing both😮
@@Nyxeme "Harsh" seems a bit out of key, mate. Jarring is a better word in this case or is that not in your vocabulary?
Colbert advising to skip The Hobbit is like Hermione saying it is useless to bring Hogwarts A History on a roadtrip.
Patton read Anne of Green Gables series. Anne is a wonderful female character. The books are so well written.
I gave this interview a standing ovation and a slow clap. In. My. Living. Room. Super glad no one saw! I'm such a dork.
The series of unfortunate events. Artemis Fowl, Redwall. All great novel series. Redwall especially
Edit: thanks for all the likes and replies! Artemis Fowl has a movie coming out. Alex Rider is good too, but more into the teens. Oh and the Warriors (cats) books might be perfert for her to read by herself
Omg I literally hear no one talk about Redwall! I read the whole series when I was nine and I still hold it in that special place in my heart. I should read it again someday just to relive the nostalgia and get that special perspective of having lived another decade.
Yay! I thought everyone but me had forgotten about Artemis Fowl. I cried when it ended.
Percy Jackson and Rangers apprentice are also fantastic
Victoria Vallejos Isn’t there a movie coming out though
Redwall is the first series I remember my dad reading to me. Definitely good stuff in the 5-10 age group so it might be a wee bit late for her now. I dressed up as Matthias and ran around the backyard having mad fun.
Stephen could not hop over that desk quick enough after that facial expression. He knew he got owned. Lol. Good wit!
Patton's face when Stephen goes "meh" is still one of my favorite live reactions.
I just love it when someone really, truly cracks Colbert up
I like how Patton Oswalt sits for a talk show. That would be me too: maximum comfort.
Oh, how awesome his wife caught that on camera! I just finished the Deathly Hallows with my daughter night before last, and we were both in tears because it’s been 4 years that we’ve been on this journey and we didn’t want it to end! My husband just started reading the Percy Jackson series with her last night. 💕
Stephen: "Let's look at this weird thing Patton Oswalt does on airplanes!"
Me, in 2021: "I don't get it."
The more I see/hear/read of Patton Oswalt... I am utterly amused and amazed. What a brilliant human being.
Perhaps I'm ignorant to the popularity of Patton Oswalt, but I think he's totally underated in his stand up. Annihilation was side splitting. And his older stuff is JUST as good.
Yep, you're ignorant. He fills venues and has won stand up awards.
Which personally shocks me, since I think most of his material+delivery just isn't funny (to me).
Sam wow you found a way to insult her twice in response to a perfectly nice, innocuous comment. Congrats?
@@Idolhands7007 The first bit wasn't an insult, it was a fact.
The second bit was my personal opinion. We all have them. I find it offensive that you'd be offended on behalf of another person for absolutely no reason.
But thanks I guess.
He's a pretty well-recognized stand-up comic, but I'd say he's done less tv and movie roles than other comics that have achieved similar success. I'm not sure why that is, that's probably why he seems under appreciated
Listen to Werewolves and Lollipops.
8:51-9:51 is the top anime comeback in history
I'm not mad about Stephen's eh about The Hobbit at all. It's only one of my favorite books of all time and I am so disappointed in Stephen as a nerd and *SCREAMS INTO PILLOW*. Ok... I may be mad.
LMFAO his face when Patton gets him at the end is priceless
I know your going to read these Patton, so: Terry Pratchetts Discworld books.
Safe enough for a 10 year old without insulting their intelligence, you'll really enjoy the material and sharing it with your daughter.
Plus, there are enough in the series that eventually, you can smoothly transition from you reading to her, to her reading to you.... ya'know years from now in the ole comedians home or whatever. lol
Seriously though, they're phenomenal. And She'll probably still be reading them when shes grown, because that happens a LOT with those books. So she'll have those memories of the two of you together for the rest of her life bud.
From one dad to another my friend.
(Might like Douglas Adam's books as well)
Pratchett has different things for different ages too.
give her carpet people and amazing maurice now, tiffany aching in a few years, then the witches, guards, death and the rest.
Adams was for sci fi what Pratchett was for fantasy
(i try really hard to pretend not to know pratchett did a little sci-fi because then I might be tempted to compare the two and that would be cruel to Terry.)
I'm sure Gaiman has something age appropriate too...
Excellent suggestion!
Currently flying through Sir Terry's works with my soon to be 12 year old! We started on his works after finishing the Hitchhiker's Guide "trilogy". We now have an unbreakable bond forged in the joys of the ridiculous. 💖
When Stephen lifted his hand after saying I didn't know you were into censoring - it was pure INNER JOY of finest mental reflex :)
Stephen Colbert with the Assassin's Creed reference. Dat boi
Really enjoyed this interview. Thanks.
5:41 Might I suggest Pratchett?
YES! that would keep them going for quite a while
I love how they all laughed...little did we know...so innocent so naive.....
The Hobbit is absolutely amazing! Stevie’s got this one wrong. That would be an awesome book to read to a kid I think.
John deciding to dm Patton and ask if he was dressed as a ninja sitting next to him, instead of just going up and asking him!
That is STRAIGHT from the introvert’s playbook! 🤣🤣🤣 John Krasinski just representing all introverts, I love it! 😂🤣🤣🤣
He looks like he's getting ready for mortal kombat in that pic.
Patton has a direct line to my funny bone. I just love this guy!
8:43 Top 10 Anime Comebacks!
8:42 That's a brilliant comeback.
“If I close my eyes I can hear Remy from Ratatouille.... and the voice over of the Goldbergs”
At the end when Stephen jumped over the desk, Patton looked ready to fight him lol
The Narnia series is a wonderful accompaniment to Harry Potter. My young daughter and I had a wonderful time with so many series, but Narnia and Potter were the best.
8:46 that was the quickest zoom out I've seen in talk shows in long time.
How dare you, Stephen. I LOVE "The Hobbit."
This might be my favourite Colbert interview so far.
I'm glad he was able to get married and that he and his daughter look so happy. Patton Oswalt is a strong man. I'm not sure I could go on if my wife suddenly passed away.
Stephen Colbert will always have my respect bc when he had his old show he had Mos Def and Talib kweli. This was probably my fifth time watching the show ever so when he said their names and did the interview, I was struck by the fact that there was an ease and comfortable vibe that said he is cool. He was comfortable in his own skin but I couldn't place so I wiki'ed him and found out his dad was a lawyer for the Civil rights movement and knew King and the rest of them. And I was like yep that fits
Patton is a great Dad. His wife in heaven would be so proud.
that was awesome,,..what a interview/conversation
Patton read the discworld series, can't recommend it enough
You have excellent taste in literature! I was going to suggest Terry Pratchett...maybe "Wee Free Men" first.
Yes!
This is the correct answer.
Although maybe skip the first 2.
(Even Sir Terry said they were written more as parodies)
Or Neil Gaiman's childrens books, he's a big proponent of not sugar coating stories.
Watching this in 2022 & it's pretty trippy thinking that about a month after this Stephen was doing the show from his house, drinking bourbon
8:48 can we talk about the slide over the desk?
That was pretty impressive.
I love these two together lol
As SOON as he said Assassin’s Creed, I liked.
5:50 when they talk about the Hobbit.
You're welcome :-)
Yes. Don't skip The Hobbit. Sets up everything for Lord of the Rings. Very enjoyable also.
Especially at 10...
Patton is and will always be my favorite!
