-We were talking, during the break, about remote learning.
I got a 2- and a 4-year-old.
There is not a lot of it.
How is your 10-year-old doing and are you helpful?
-Yeah, I mean, well, here's what's terrifying
is she does remote learning,
so there's social studies, there's English, there's art.
And I'm always happy to hop in and help her out.
And then when I see her coming at me with her math sheets,
I cringe because it's become very clear
to both me and my wife that our math knowledge
kind of topped out in third grade
and hers is at a fourth-grade level.
And there are literally -- I just have this thing
we downloaded called the Tiny Math Pack, and I'm trying --
I downloaded my own so I can do it and then check her answers.
And I realize I don't know how to do these new things
where it's called the bar method for solving --
-Oh, no.
-I'm like, "I don't know how this works."
And I'm going to get this wrong.
So I'm terrified that she's going to come to me and go,
"Can we go over this?"
I'm like, "I kind of don't know what this" --
So I'm trying to find YouTube videos.
-Yeah. I can't believe how ignorant I am
that it never occurred to me that there would be
a different way to teach people the same stuff.
-Exact-- Well, apparently that happened in the '60s
with new math, but now the new math
that you and I grew up on is old.
And there's something called Singapore math
and there's something called the bar method.
There's all these new methods.
I have no idea.
I don't know what to do.
-Oh, it's good to look ahead and realize that's the frustration
that's coming down the pike for me.
-It is coming, so get ready.
It's -- Oh, boy.
-I just want to say that you hosted the Webby Awards
on Tuesday night.
I actually hosted that show a few years ago.
It's a ton of fun.
I, of course, did it live when there was an audience.
I think this is a thing a lot of comedians are figuring out.
How will this sort of virtual entertainment work?
Did you still have a good time doing it?
-I had a good time recording it.
I mean, I hosted it three times live.
-Gotcha. -And you're right.
It is such a fun show.
It's really goofy.
It doesn't take itself seriously.
And now, I'm scrambling to catch up
with the technology that's needed.
So there was a lot of things.
There was a lot of texts that needed to be read.
And I had to keep looking, because I don't have --
I couldn't figure out teleprompter technology
and proper lighting, so I did the best job I could.
But I hope that historically people will look at
the 2020 Webbys and go, "This has a real
post-apocalyptic wasteland feel to it."
Which might be a good historical document for this is the time.
But I hope if they ever ask me again
I will be a little more up to speed with --
Because it especially celebrates people
that are doing amazing things on the Web.
So a lot of it just looked great.
And then they cut back to Grandpa Oswalt.
"Is it on? I don't see? Hello? Okay."
Like, it's just this weird multi-generational thing.
You know? -Yeah.
-A little weird.
-It's so true that so much work is going to be timestamped
in a way that will make it very clear when anybody looks back,
"Oh, that? That was during that?"
-I have gone down the saddest rabbit hole
where I will go online to YouTube.
I don't know if you're doing this, too.
People have posted videos for years now
of huge, like, summer blockbusters, the big moments,
and they will record the audience
cheering for big moments. -Oh, wow.
-A guy recorded opening night of "Avengers: Endgame,"
all the big moments when Captain America
goes "Avengers, assemble" or when he picks up Thor's hammer,
all those where the crowd is just "Yeah!" like, freaking out,
and I'm watching all of these with this sad, like --
remember people just out cheering for stuff.
I'm watching all this -- and I used to despise
people in movies filming things.
Now I thank God that people were there recording the audience
because it's like this age that's gone now.
-Yeah.
-And now there's like whole videos put together,
like best audience reactions of "Deadpool,"
best audience reactions of --
and I'm just watching all this stuff, and it's amazing.
-What a funny thing that you're right, that I think
we all wanted the moviegoing experience to completely make us
forget that we were watching it with other people.
And now, of course, that's the thing you miss the most.
Patton, it's always so lovely to talk to you.
Stay safe and healthy, and we'll see you soon,
hopefully in person.
-Yes, hopefully in person, alright, man, be safe.
