I don't think any of us has ever met
a five-year-old quite like our next guest
from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Please welcome anatomy expert Matthew Sawchuck.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
The thing.
Ha-hah.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, Matthew.
How are you?
Good.
I'm glad.
You watch my show in Canada, don't you?
Yeah.
What's your favorite part of the show?
When you act crazy.
Oh.
[LAUGHTER]
When does that happen?
Most of the time.
Hey, Is that--
[LAUGHTER]
Is that for me?
Is that solar system thing for me?
What?
Is that solar system thing for me?
Is that solar system for you?
Yeah.
It wasn't supposed to be, but--
[LAUGHTER]
I'll talk to somebody and see.
It's a cool solar system.
You're interested in astronomy and all kinds of things,
aren't you?
Yeah.
OK.
And-- but how--
I--
I'm over here.
--heard you have-- I heard you have a girlfriend.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
I do.
I really do.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
I actually do.
Yes.
And how do you-- how did you meet your girlfriend?
Well, I forget.
[LAUGHTER]
It was so long ago that I forget.
Uh-huh.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
And Matthew, how did you become interested in anatomy?
Well, I started to gravitate toward my mother's
medical books.
You gravitated towards your mother's medical books?
Yeah.
OK.
Is she a doctor?
No, she's a nurse.
Oh, OK.
And-- that's great.
And what was--
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
X-mas.
And-- and what-- [LAUGHS] look at me.
Look right here.
OK.
All right.
And what was your-- what did you want for Christmas?
You asked for one gift, right?
A hum-- a life-size human torso.
OK.
So-- which is what most five-year-olds want.
Let's go over here.
We brought it today.
I know.
And so that you can help us out.
It's too big to bring on the plane.
It was too big to bring on the plane?
Yeah.
You couldn't sit it in the seat next to you?
No.
It was already filled.
Oh, OK.
All right.
So here.
You stand on this side, and you're
going to tell me certain things of what's going on.
This is-- what is that?
That's the heart.
OK.
And what does the heart do?
It beats like a drum.
Uh-huh.
And what does it do for the body?
Is that a dog crying?
No.
[LAUGHTER]
I thought I heard one.
No, there's no dog crying in here.
So there's no pets allowed?
No, not in here.
Oh, I'm a pet rabbit.
You do?
What's the pet rabbit's name?
Cottonball.
Cottonball?
That's cute.
That's a cute name.
Do you want to tell us about the heart?
Yeah.
It gives blood to the body.
OK.
That's an important thing, right?
Yeah.
And what is all this stuff there?
Oh, that's the small intestine.
It looks like a long snake.
Uh-huh.
Oh, when you stretch it out.
How long is it if you stretch it out?
27 feet.
Wow, that's long.
And I know you were telling me a little bit about the eye--
how does the eyeball work, actually?
Well, light goes through the conjunctiva.
Mm-hmm.
[SCATTERED LAUGHTER]
That's a real word for the--
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
[CHEERS]
I wasn't finished yet.
I know.
He wasn't--
[LAUGHS] I wasn't finished yet.
[AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS]
OK.
It goes through the conjunctiva.
Well--
Yes.
Goes through the conjunctiva.
Well, the conjunctiva is a thin layer of skin
that covers the cornea.
Now I'm done.
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
All right.
At the end, could you do some of Dory's voice?
Yeah.
Sure, I'll do-- this is Dory's voice right now.
No.
When we're sitting back down.
When we sit down.
Oh, I won't do it here.
All right.
Now, you also-- you collect rocks as well, right?
Yeah.
What kind of rocks do you collect?
Well, I collected mica.
Do you know what glitter's made of?
No, I don't.
Mica.
Hmm.
[LAUGHTER]
And it's actually true.
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
I'm not kidding.
He's not kidding.
All right.
So well, we want to give you some gifts before you take off.
OK.
We're going to give you the complete first season
of SpongeBob on DVD because we know you like that, right?
And then--
What about the second season?
[APPLAUSE]
He said, what about the second season?
[LAUGHTER]
We'll give you that, too, all right?
And then also, we're going to give you--
the California Science Center is going to give you
a special tour tomorrow.
They have an Air and Space Center
that I think you're going to like a whole lot
and an anatomy exhibit, OK?
But--
OK.
OK, you look antsy.
I'll let you go in a minute.
But here's something very, very-- hey, look.
Come around this way because I want you to see it this way.
You collect rocks.
What rock don't you have that you'd love to have?
Trilobite.
A trilobite.
Yeah.
And what's so special about a trilobite?
What is that?
Well, it's a sea animal fossil.
OK.
So it has to be really, really old, right?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we have a trilobite from paleofacts.com.
This right here is 550 million years old.
Oh, my gosh.
And it's yours.
What is it?
How about that?
What?
I don't know what it is.
It's 550 million years old.
No, what kind of sea animal is it?
I don't know.
What was living 550 million years old.
But there's a-- it's a--
I don't know.
Maybe you can ask somebody tomorrow.
No, you have to read it.
Oh, I can't.
[LAUGHTER]
It's really old, and it's a trilobite.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, guess what?
What?
When we sit back down, do the Dory
that you did when you were playing Nemo.
OK, I will.
I'm going to sit back now and do it for you right now.
All right.
I'll sit back down.
OK.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
[GRUNTING]
[LAUGHTER]
Gotcha.
Yeah.
You sure did.
I thought we were going to shake hands.
It was a greeting, and then it turned into an arm wrestle.
Is that how you greet people?
Thumb wrestle.
Oh, it was a thumb wrestle.
Oh, I didn't-- I wasn't prepared.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Matthew, welcome back.
Thank you.
So-- don't look for it yet.
We'll get to it in a minute.
It's right over here.
Is that what you're looking for?
I was looking for the Earth system, where the Earth was.
Yeah.
The Earth system's here, right?
Yeah, but where is the other one where I saw--
Oh, the one from last time you were here?
Yeah.
I don't know where that is.
We'll find out, OK?
OK.
Hey, there it is.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
Here it is.
[MATTHEW HUMS]
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
It's pretty cool, right?
It was just set dressing, but it's an antique.
We're going to do a new one in a minute.
I'm just as interesting as a planet.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
So what did you do for your birthday?
Well, I had this big birthday.
Uh-huh.
Great.
This is regular birthdays.
And what did you get?
What kind of presents?
Well, the best one is a universe book,
From the Earth to the End of the Cosmos.
Really?
And are you reading it?
Well, I started to read when I was about two.
I just look at the pictures now.
OK.
You're going backwards.
Yeah.
All right.
And did your girlfriend give you the book?
Yes.
You're still with her?
Yes.
What's her name?
Lane.
All right.
Well, that was--
Just like a fire lane.
[LAUGHS]
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
All right.
So tell me which one-- what is-- is this Mars?
No, this is.
This is Earth.
OK.
Oh, that's Earth?
Yeah, let's talk a little bit about Earth.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
Venus's sister.
Venus is a little different from the one I have at home.
Oh, you just took Venus off.
[LAUGHTER]
No, it looked a little different.
OK.
It looks like Mars, only with darker orange spots.
And-- well, I guess that's it.
OK.
All right.
Which one is this?
That's the sun.
OK, that's what I figured.
And this is--
Mercury.
Mercury, OK.
And Earth and--
No.
Mercury, Venus, Earth--
Right.
That's what I said.
--Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.
Uh-huh.
Saturn has the rings around it.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
OK.
And just really quickly, you showed me
the picture of your cat when you came to visit me
in my dressing room.
What's the name of the kitty?
Triton.
Five months old.
Yeah.
That's great.
And you love your kitten, right?
Yeah.
Great.
All right.
And I know you love gifts.
Yes.
So I got you a gift.
I got you-- let me see what this is.
You probably know what it is more than I do.
It's a Mars Rover replica--
Whoa.
--and a Rover-- it's--
isn't that cool?
Yeah.
All right.
So you have this, and it comes off of this thing.
So be careful with it.
You want to pick it up?
Well, hold on.
I got one more thing for you, too.
Can it fold up?
Uh, probably, yeah.
It does.
All right.
And then I got you this from LEGO.
Whoa.
And it's--
[KISS]
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
You love it.
Isn't that cool?
Yeah, but what else?
So you can-- he goes, yeah, but what else?
[LAUGHTER]
That's it, just these two things.
Isn't that great?
That's what I was going to get you.
And this bag.
[LAUGHTER]
My cat would love this.
All right.
Well, it's for your cat.
All right.
It's for Triton.
Da da da da.
All right.
Thanks for coming back again, Matthew.
OK.
I appreciate it.
