- You're here on a good day.
It's a very special episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
We're gonna talk about our changing bodies.
Yeah.
No, I'm being told no. That is not correct.
This episode is about kids.
I love talking to kids.
I don't know where they come from.
I don't know how you make 'em.
I know-- I know what they eat,
and, uh-- I think I do anyway.
Anything really.
I love talking to them. There's a lot we can teach kids.
Like, they should believe in themselves
and be kind to one another.
And there's a lot that kids can teach us.
Like how to break vases and get gum in your hair.
And earlier this year I decided to teach some kids
about old technology.
I brought in some items that they had never seen before,
and I showed 'em how it works.
So, Rebecca and Tre,
I brought an item,
and I would like you to tell me what this is.
Do you know what it is?
- Oh, a phone. - I know what it is.
And it's not any ordinary phone.
It's an olden time phone.
- Yeah, they used that back in the day.
- Back in the day. When you say "back in the day"
and you say "an old time phone,"
how long ago do you think this was used?
- Oh, 100.
- A hundred years ago?
- Yeah, it doesn't even have no FaceTime.
- No.
I mean, you could do it,
but then no one would see it.
You'd just be talking right into the phone.
- And, like, if somebody walked in,
they would be like, "Why are you talking into a phone?"
- Right, and then they'd haul you away
and put you in the loony bin.
- Yeah. - Loony bin?
- Yeah, you know.
Do you know what this is?
Both: Um...
- First you have to find the on button.
- Uh... - This?
I don't see...
- No. Hmm.
Hmm. Hmm.
- All right, you don't have to turn it on.
Just put that in. I'm just kidding with you.
Okay. Do you type a lot?
- Yeah. - What do you type?
- I work on scripts.
- You write scripts? - Yeah.
- What, like a movie script? - Yeah.
- What's the name of the movie script
that you're working on?
- "The Lost Island."
- "The Lost Island." What's it about?
- Well, it's about--
I got inspired by Indiana Jones.
It's about these two archaeologists
that have to find the lost island.
The lost island is where you can get
the power of mother nature itself.
- Archaeologists are-- they're--
- Trying to find the lost island.
- I need that typewriter real quick.
- And if you find the temple of the lost island--
- [gasps]
- They're trying to find what?
- They try to find the temple of the lost island.
- Slow down. Slow down.
Temple of the lost...
- Island.
And when they-- and they will get the power
of mother nature if they--
- They'll get the what?
- The power of mother nature if they find the temple,
but the Jewish are planning to take over the world.
The Jewish are planning to take over the world
if they find it.
- The Jewish are planning on taking over the world?
- Yeah. If they find the...
- I don't know about that.
Tell me what this is.
- It's like a radio, but it has a speaker
so you can talk through.
- It was a recording machine,
so if someone called and you weren't home,
they would leave a message.
Like, here, you're calling me,
and then I'll leave the message.
Hi, It's Ellen.
I'm not here right now.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Okay. - Beep.
Oh, it didn't-- I didn't give you enough time.
Okay, let me try it again.
Hey, It's Ellen.
I'm not home, but if you leave a message,
I'll call you back.
- Hi.
Call me back when you get a chance.
- Beep.
[laughs]
I didn't leave enough time.
Okay.
Hey, it's Ellen.
I'm not home.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Um...
- Beep.
Hi, it's Ellen. I'm not home.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Hi. Call me back when you can.
- Beep.
You didn't say your name.
Try it again.
Hey, it's Ellen. I'm not home.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Hi, it's Rebecca. Call me back.
- Beep. [laughter]
- This is Ellen.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Hi, it's Rebecca, and call me back.
[laughter]
- Beep.
You had a lot more time.
- [sighs]
- You had so much more time. All right, let's try--
Let William try it.
Hi, this is Ellen.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Hi, this is William-- - Beep.
- And I-- - Beep.
- Oh, really?
- Hi, this is Ellen.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Um... - Beep.
- Really?
- Hi, this is Ellen. I'm not home.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
- Hi, this is William, and I'll call you back.
- If you're gonna call me back, why'd you leave a message?
- [laughs]
- Oh.
[all laugh]
- This machine is so complicated.
- I know. It's just so complicated.
That's why they got rid of it.
We have to wrap it up, because I have to get going.
You have a microphone.
Go ahead and say whatever you want to say
or sing whatever you want to sing.
- Um...
- Beep. Oh.
- [groans]
- What?
Okay, this thing doesn't work.
- What do volcanoes eat for dinner?
- Is it "ashed potatoes?"
- Nope. Paint drops.
- [chuckles]
- Beep.
- Awkward.
- [laughs] Okay, you two kids.
It's been lovely talking to you.
I'll walk you out.
- Okay.
Bye, everyone.
Nice seeing you.
- Bye.
