We're back with Matthew McConaughey.
All right, so you're friends with-- very good friends,
actually, with Woody Harrelson.
You've known each other a long time.
Is this what a typical night looks like for you two?
Oh, yes.
I hope so.
I miss more of these nights.
Remember earlier, we were talking about what time
a bed time is now?
Right.
I say it's about 9:30, 10:00, but I miss
what happens after midnight.
Yep.
This is what I'm talking about.
Yes.
I know.
Yes.
Gleefully, these are some of Woody
and I's outcomes of our nights.
We still went many hours after this moment.
Oh, I'm sure.
That's just the middle of the night.
All right.
When Woody was here we played a game called, "Woody Have Done
That?", where I would read a scenario
and I would guess if he did it or not.
Since you've both lived such crazy
lives, gave us an idea to play a new game.
It's called "McConaughey or McConaugh-Nay?"
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Great song.
All right.
I'm going to read a scenario and I'll guess if you did it
or if Woody did.
It's one of them did it?
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
He was kicked out of a WWE match in the '80s
for throwing tomatoes at a wrestling manager.
I'm going to say you did that, Matthew.
You are 100% correct.
Why did you do that?
Why?
It was [INAUDIBLE] He was the manager of the bad guy, King
Kong Bundy.
And had snuck in this paper bag full of these rotten tomatoes.
And man, when I got my chance, I just pelleted him with them.
And I got kicked out of the Coliseum because of that,
and snuck back in through the bathroom window
and then came in and watched the rest of the show.
Of course you came back through the bathroom window.
He spent a day in a cage with a mountain lion who
ended up purring in his lap.
Oh God, I could see both of y'all doing that.
But I'm going to say this is you again.
You think this is me again?
Yeah, I do.
Well this time, Miss Ellen, you are absolutely correct again.
Wow.
What happened?
How did you end up in a cage with a mountain lion?
Well, I had just taken a nice long morning walk with a shaman
down in Real de Catorce, Mexico.
And came back down from the mountaintop really feeling it.
When I saw this mountain lion in this cage,
I stood on the outside and got on a similar frequency.
And this mountain lion who was a bit agitated,
slowly calmed down and then came up and was licking my hand
through the cage.
And then I got the courage.
I said, I think I'll slide on in there with him.
And I went in and slowly moved to the other side of the cage.
He paced back and forth.
And about an hour and a half later, he slowly
came, moved his way over to me.
Got to where he reached out and lick my fingers.
And then about 2 and 1/2 hours after that,
he was purring in my lap.
Wow.
What were you on?
High.
I was very high on life that week.
I was I was on the same frequency as him.
I was on a mountain lion frequency.
OK.
I'm not sure if there was ever a mountain lion.
You could have just been imagining all of that.
But I do believe that you're capable of doing it.
In the '90s he had a band called, "Manly Moondog
and the Three Cool Cats".
Well again, because I know you love music.
I'm going to say this is you again, Matthew.
That is not me, Miss Ellen.
That is my good brother from another mother, Mr. Woody.
Wow.
"Manly Moondog and the Three Cool Cats".
All right.
He was late to work one time because he
went to Germany to see the fall of the Berlin Wall instead.
I think that's Woody.
That's easy.
That's Woody, yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's Woody also.
He's been late to work for many other reasons,
but the fall of the Berlin Wall, that's par for Woody.
He may still be there.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I said that was the last one, but I have to know.
He has four concussions from falling out of trees.
I'm going to say that's you.
Did you have four concussions from falling out of trees?
Yes.
Three of them-- and this may let a little more insight
into how I got along with that mountain lion.
Three of those concussions, three of those times
I fell off those four trees were on a full moon.
Right.
You were in the frequency of a wolf.
All right, Matthew, it's great talking to you again.
Matthew's book is called "Green Lights".
It's available everywhere books are sold.
Everyone in the audience is getting a copy.
And it's right here.
Thank you, Ellen.
Thank you, Matthew.
We'll be back.
