- Hi, I'm Antoinette Robertson.
- I'm Sinqua Walls.
- Hey, I'm Jay Farrow.
- And we're about to play "Choose Your Weapon"
with Mashable.
- On that iPad, there are a bunch of weapons.
Now we're gonna go around.
Each of you guys are gonna choose a weapon
but here's the catch:
when one of you guys choose the weapon,
everyone else cannot choose it, so it's off the board.
So be very mindful with what choice you're gonna make,
Okay?
- Okay, I thought hard about this
and I'm going to choose the fork
because physically I feel like
that's the one I would have more control over.
And there's a lots of ways
in which you can render a person incapacitated-
- With a fork. - With a fork.
- Yeah, eyes, neck...
I'm thinking like puncturing.
- I get it. - Is there a wrong answer?
- I think I would choose a vinyl
so I can just like chuck it at 'em and like hit the neck.
Hit the- is it the iota?
- Yep. - Mm mmm.
- Aorta, yeah.
- Well, I used to watch Xena, Xena Warrior Princess,
and she would hit 'em right here.
She had like a little disk.
- Yeah, she had the- - Mm hmm.
(everyone talking over each other)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think that's a great answer.
(everyone claps
- Good answer. - Good answer.
- Y'all didn't clap for me!
- It wasn't a good answer. - It wasn't a good answer.
(several laughing)
- I'ma choose the chainsaw.
- Mmm. - All right.
- That's a classic. - But that said chain-
It says chain- I thought it was like a rollie,
like that's a chain. - I would've gone with the-
- So chainsaw, because for obvious reasons
they chop a-
wait- - Yeah,
but what if it's not charged?
Don't they need to charge?
- [Antoinette] Don't you plug it in?
- Wow, did you really just like kill my whole thing?
- I'm just saying like, you gotta be ready.
- They take gas.
- Can't wait to hear Tracy's answer.
- Okay. Me too.
- Okay. Okay.
The judgment already.
We're gonna go with the frying pan.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- For obvious reasons.
- Look, you're going to Al Green them-
- Yes, there's so many things.
- Very "Diary of A Mad Black Woman" with the grits.
- Yes, I can cook on it and fling hot, you know, oil,
and I can hit it and use it as a weapon.
- [Antoinette] There are levels to the frying pan.
- Yes, the fry pan is like the most nuanced weapon on here.
- Yeah, Tracy, that's why Al Green like, "ha!"
cause you when you hit with the grits-
Yeah, can I get- - Yeah, you got it.
You got it.
- Oh, let's see here.
Wow, there's so many good weapons here.

I'ma go with the bow.
You feel me?
'Cause I feel, I watch "Lord the Rings" a lot.
I know how to wield that.
I've been studying- - That was my answer.
- Ever since I heard,

Keanu Reeve was like getting ready for the end the world,
I've been upping my shit,
archery. - Okay.
- So I know how to shoot. (mimics arrow shooting)
I'm Legolas, yeah. - You're pretty good.
- Yeah. - That's right.
- I hear that Jay. - Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Ooh, guys, I'ma go with the candlestick,
'cause you saw already what can be done.
(all clapping) - [All] Yes, good answer.
Good answer. Good answer.
- You not getting up after that.
Play it to the teleprompter-
I'm going with the candle stick, guys,
'cause you know what's up.

(all laughing and talking over each other)
- You gonna Terry Crews that-
(continued laughing and talking over each other)
- I'm gonna go with the-
I'm gonna go with the darts.
- The darts?
- I'm gonna go with the darts,
because I can keep my distance
and if I need to run away real quick,
I can hit 'em in the eye and I'm out.
- [Melvin] You just that accurate with darts?
- Okay. - Yeah.
My dart game is nice.
- Shit gonna be bouncing off.
- [Antoinette] What kind of precision with them darts?
Melvin gonna choose... (whispers)
- Y'all know what I'm gonna choose?
- Yep. - Most obvious one, probably.
- The hockey stick. - Yeah, I was thinking that.
- Shoot. - Yeah, golf club.
- [Dewayne] The teddy bear.
- All I'ma,
I'ma pick this shoe to chuck...
Chuck Taylor, put my foot up his (beep),
then I can run if it don't work.
- Wait, but what if your foot's stuck up his anus?
- Whoa, wait-
- Easy, easy.
- Well he the one that-
Oh, 'cause I used the actual medical term
and y'all say, "whoa,"
he said (beep)
and I said anus and everybody's just discombobulated.
(everybody talking over each other)
- Jermaine, what would you pick?
- Absolutely. Good answer, Melvin.
(clapping) That's good answer.
- Um.... I would...
- [Jay] Whatever hits him in the iota. (laughing)
- I choose my words.
- [Tracy] Iota is the wrong place.
- Okay. Yeah.
So can can we double up on this one?
I wanna use the chainsaw because of Evil Dead.
- I got it. - I know.
- All right, I'll choose the-
- [Jay] The teddy bear.
- No, that ain't gonna work on the killer.
- Hey man, you can stuff him like, you can rip it open.
- I'll choose the priceless vase.
- That's good.
That's good. That's a good answer.
(all clapping and talking over each other)
- Why the priceless vase?
- Well, you can fill it up
with guns and knives and all types of things.
- No, okay, bad answer, bad answer.
I thought you meant you could chuck it at his ass.
- Maybe it's his vase,
and you can like (beep) or rig it...
- It's a vase like- - It's like a-
- Oh, before we leave this amazing, amazing interview-
I'm having fun with y'all-
I got one last question,
Y'all ready?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Anybody can answer it.
So you, the individual, not your character, you yourself,
you're trying to escape the killer,
similar in the film,
but you couldn't use any physical weapons or objects.
What alternative weapon would you use to save yourself?
- Humor. - What?
- Humor? - Okay.
- I'd diffuse him with my humor.
- My sexuality.
- [Melvin] Come here gimme (beep).
(several laughing)
- Oh! Oh!
You have to edit that.
We have to edit-
cut to commercial.
Tim, that wasn't- see?
- I'm just here.
- Tracy, any thoughts?
Tracy, do you have an answer?
I would use the power of prayer.
- Where is Melvin, the publicist?
- My praise is my weapon.
Amen.
We need a palate cleanser after that.
Jesus.
Thank you Jesus.
Hallelujah.
