Welcome back everyone!
We have a very special guest at the News Desk,
someone I am such a fan of.
He is an actor and a comedian
and apparently he became best friends with Paul Rudd
right after meeting him at a college party.
Mm. - Picky.
- Let's ask him about it.
It's Rob Riggle! (audience cheering)
- Yeah, Rob. (audience cheering)
- You look so nice. - Oh, thank you.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
(audience cheering and applauding)
- Yes.
- We love Paul Rudd. That's super fun, Rob.
- Paul is an amazing guy.
Now, I don't know who his best friend is,
but I'm a good friend. - Okay.
- I wouldn't say best friend,
but I'm sure his best friend's watching this going,
"What the heck, Paul?"
- Right. (laughing)
I was gonna say, like do also guys do that?
Like girls do that,
but do guys do that?
- We rank, yeah. We rank.
- We rank. - We rank.
- Perfect.
Well Rob, we are here at the News Desk.
- Oh yeah, news. - Uh huh.
- Would you, - News, yeah.
- kindly get in pole position
and read our first story with me and Rossy.
- Yes. (Rossy desk slapping)
Yes, absolutely. (audience applauding)
Alright. Hot out of the gates.
First up,
nineties comedies fans, you get to rejoice.
According to Fandom Wire, "Dumb and Dumber 3"
is rumored to be in the works
and Jim Carrey,
(audience cheering and applauding)
yeah, and Jeff Daniels are set
to reprise their roles as Lloyd and Harry.
This means that Jim would have to come out
of the self-imposed retirement
that he announced in 2020. - I'm not happy about that.
- So, Drew and Ross,
are you excited for this
or should we not mess with the masterpiece?
- Well, - I'm excited.
- you were in "Dumb and Dumber To,"
right? - Right,
so that's what makes me think,
(audience cheering and applauding)
- Yes, you were there. - if we think,
I already messed with a masterpiece.
- Yeah, so actually I feel like you're an authority.
- So, I gotta say one of the, one of the highlights,
a very surreal moment,
was when I was in a scene,
first scene of the movie, - With Lloyd and Harry.
- with Lloyd and Harry, in our hearse
and my head in the middle.
I was in the back of the hearse.
- Yeah. - And actually the first take,
I forgot that I had lines,
cuz I was just going, "This is amazing."
- Yeah. - "This is so cool.
It's so surreal."
So, I dunno, I think the world
could always use a little more,
- Lloyd and Harry. - Lloyd and Harry.
- Yes. - Exactly.
- Rossy. - Yeah.
(audience cheering and applauding)
- I think Jim Carrey,
Jim Carey can come out of retirement.
Cher goes in and out every single week, right?
(Rob laughing) She-
- Exactly. Exactly. - And I,
I would absolutely watch one.
The second one was called "Dumb and Dumber To."
- Yeah. - Like To.
What would you call the third one?
Like, "The Most Dumbest?"
- Yeah, the. (both laughing)
Ah, yeah, let me,
I had one I was thinkin' about earlier too
and it just flown outta my mind,
cuz I was thinkin' of, "
oh, oh. "Never Not Dumb."
- Never Not Dumb is great.
- I like that. - Just a double negative.
- Yeah. - You know?
- Exactly. - Something like that maybe.
- Exactly.
- I need Jim Carrey. - Mm hm.
- You know, I watch his films obsessively
with my daughters.
The other day we were watching "Liar, liar"
and I'm just staring at him.
I mean he is, he is such a national treasure.
It's like, whether I'm watching the new Sonic movies
with him, or you know,
I just posted on Instagram this like,
a series of him doing physical impressions for photographs
for his like "In Living Color" auditions.
- Ah ha. - Oh yeah, I seen it.
- I love that. - Like there's,
there's never been a time where I can remember
like life without Jim Carrey, almost.
- Yes. And I can't, I don't, there,
there should be no Life without Jim Carrey.
I need him.
(audience cheering) - Agreed, agreed, agreed.
(audience cheering and applauding)
I hope this is true.
- And you're right.
That scene in "Liar, Liar" where he comes
into the boardroom, - Mm hm.
- and he just goes around the room.
- The best. - That might be the best
one minute of film ever, comedy.
- Yeah. - I mean it's just,
I've never seen it and not laughed.
(audience applauding) - Absolutely, same.
Alright, next up,
Associated Press reports, Carol Whitley,
of Ontario, Canada has officially been crowned the champion
of Key West's Annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest
in the women division. (audience laughing)
Were obsessed. Take a look at this.
(Carol conch blowing) (audience cheering)
Okay. (audience cheering)
That is some talent right there.
I always wondered if like, this was hard to do.
Have you ever tried it before?
Blowing a conch shell? - Yeah, have you Rob?
- Yes. - You have?
- Well, I wasn't sober, unfortunately.
(laughing)
- I just feel like- - It's kind of a,
it was, it was a mess. - Yeah?

but I don't know.

(Rob laughing) We suck, Ross.
- Show us one more time how it's done.
(audience cheering)
(Rob conch blowing)
- Wow. (Ross laughing)
I gotta give it up to Carol now.
I was like, "That was sort of short and sweet."
I didn't realize how, what she pulled off.
- Yeah. - Carol.
Way to blow, Carol. (Drew conch blowing)
- There you have it.
You know you can do it. - That was better.
- Yeah, that was incredibly better.
- A bit better.
- It's like a trumpet.
You gotta go (Rob lip trilling)
(audience cheering and applauding)
- Wow. Well, okay.
Finally, countries all over the world
are trying to phase out single use plastic
and go coffee cup lid free,
because they are one of the biggest offenders.
So, enter a company called The Good Cup,
and Fast Company,
which is one of the most reputable sources,
reports as a new recyclable compostable coffee cup
that folds up like a miniature takeout box.
And the designer spent three years honing it in
and it's already launched in the UK and Japan.
It's on trial in Australia
and hopefully we will see it here in the US soon.
Now Rob,
I am really excited about your documentary.
We purposefully told this story.
I work with a company Grove.
I'm trying to improve my carbon footprint.
What is your documentary and when do we get to watch it,
because I just wanna learn more.
- I was very lucky.
I met this wonderful lady, Janice Overbeck,
and she has made a movie with Jack Winch,
and they made a movie, it's called "Plastic Earth."
You can see it at plasticearthmovie.com.
It's out right now.
- We're gonna push to it on all our social channels,
because, - But they do so,
what, what I learned was,
there are,
it's so much doom and gloom out there
when you talk about the environment
and when people talk about the environment,
sometimes it's a lot of shame and blame.
And here's the thing, we need plastic,
we need it, we function on it.
It's part of our life.
It's part of what we do.
It's, we're not getting rid of it,
but it takes a hundred years to decompose.
It takes, it's, we have a problem,
we have a problem with it.
So this, we talk about solutions and I love it,
because the good news is
there are so many amazing engineers and scientists
all over the world right now working on this problem,
coming up with great, great ways
that we can help save our oceans,
help save our planet,
help get those micro plastics out of our water supply,
get 'em out of our food supply.
And all it takes is just a little effort on our part,
just a little bit.
And if we each do little things,
we're gonna make a huge difference.
This is gonna be, - Lead.
- something that we can do. (audience cheering)
Lead with hope and the solution.
Otherwise I rebel and tune out.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Rob Riggle, "Plastic Earth" is now available
on VOD and digital, including Amazon, iTunes
and anywhere where you buy movies.
Again, we are gonna push to it
like maniacs on all of our socials.
And next,
there's a thing called a spinach artichoke dip.
You know, Rob? - Oh, yes.
- Right? - Oh, yeah.
- I can, - Okay.
- murder one of those.
- Me too. - Yeah.
- I could motorboat it. (all laughing)
So, pasta and spinach artichoke dip.
Just had a baby and we're gonna go taste it
over in the kitchen. - Oh, wow.
- Catch you after that.
(audience cheering and applauding)
