All across America, millions of people
have been receiving stimulus checks from the government
to help them through this tough time.
Some people use the money for rent.
Some people use it for groceries.
Some people use it to rent groceries.
I don't know how that works, but they say it saves money.
But one woman decided to use her check
to lift other peoples' spirits.
REPORTER: And a New York woman collaborated with
the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra to put on a stimulus serenade
for frontline hospital workers and Covid patients
in New Orleans.
Emily Bauman used her stimulus money
to pay for the out-of-work musicians
while offering a morale boost to health care workers.
She's hoping to inspire others to conduct similar concerts.
Amazing. She used her stimulus check
to hire out-of-work musicians
and honor New Orleans health care workers
in one fell swoop.
That is such a beautiful gesture.
Although it was a little inappropriate
when they threw beads at the nurses.
Also, I hope the surgeons couldn't hear the music outside.
'Cause I don't know if you've been to New Orleans,
but those bands are really good.
Like, you can't resist dancing.
All right, nurse, I'm gonna make the incision.
-♪ ♪ -Now, if everybody can just...
(laughing): Oh!
(exclaims) Oh!
I actually tried this in South Africa
and it didn't really work.
Yeah, I hired a vuvuzela group
to honor the health care workers, but all that happened
was the patients left the hospital saying
they'd take their chances with corona.
And I also love that they honored
their health care workers with live jazz,
'cause what's more New Orleans than live jazz, you know?
This would be like if Philadelphians
entertained their nurses with a fistfight outside a Wawa.
It's so authentic.
Of course, that free concert is only one of many stories
we've heard about ordinary people
trying to honor health care workers.
In fact, one big story that went viral last month
was from the U.K., where a 100-year-old man
raised $40 million doing a charity walk in his garden.
And now the U.K. is saying to him,
(English accent): "Good on you, chap."
REPORTER: A 100-year-old veteran in Great Britain
will receive a knighthood.
He'll be knighted for helping frontline workers
during the coronavirus pandemic.
Captain Tom Moore raised more than $40 million
for Britain's National Health Service by just walking around,
walking laps around his garden, using a walker,
like you see right here.
And that effort captivated the nation.
Aw, this is fantastic.
This 100-year-old man is gonna become a knight.
Which is the highest British honor you can receive,
outside of Star Baker.
And I'm not surprised this man is concerned
with how the queen is gonna handle that sword.
I mean, we all saw how she
stabbed Meghan Markle in the back.
You don't know what she's cable of.
I just can't wait for him to meet all of the other knights
once this pandemic is over.
I'm Sir Tom Moore,
knighted for raising $40 million
for the NHS.
And I'm Sir Mix-a-Lot. I was knighted
for telling the truth about how much I like big butts.
But this goes to show you two things.
One, when it comes to helping, your age doesn't matter.
Anybody can help.
And, two, people in every country around the world
are really desperate for sports right now.
'Cause, clearly, people in England were like,
(English accent): "Look, it's no Olympics,
"but I've heard there's an old man
"who's walking around his house every day,
which might be quite entertaining."
"Are you shittin' me? I would pay ten pounds to...
£100 to watch that. That sounds bloody exciting."
(normal accent): And, finally,
has this pandemic made you wish
you could be living in another universe?
Well first of all, congratulations on being basic.
And, secondly, here you go.
It may sound like an episode of The Twilight Zone,
but NASA scientists say they have detected
a parallel universe
that exists next to our own.
Using a cosmic ray detection experiment,
scientists in Antarctica say they have found evidence
of a universe born in the very same Big Bang as ours,
but with rules of physics that are completely the opposite.
In our universe, higher energy particles can only be detected
coming down from outer space,
but using a giant balloon-like object, the scientists
detected similar particles coming up out of the earth,
implying the particles are actually
traveling backward in time.
Okay, this is just insane.
Scientists say that they've detected a universe--
a parallel universe--
that, unlike ours, moves backwards in time.
And before you get all excited-- yes,
Trump is still president in this parallel universe.
The only difference is that in this universe he can read,
which makes him even more dangerous.
But wouldn't it be funny if, in the other universe,
everything is, like, a weird kind of backwards?
So Trump hates Ivanka but he wants to bang Eric.
Yeah, we haven't forgot.
Actually, the more I think about it,
imagine how great it would be to live in a parallel universe
where time is going backwards.
I mean, who wouldn't love that?
Coronavirus goes away. Trump goes away.
President Obama comes back-- it's amazing!
Oh, shit, wait-- now slavery is back.
I didn't think this through. I didn't think this through!
