Now, when we shoot the show in the studio,
obviously there are a lot of people involved.
There's producers, writers, editors, and right now
they're all working from home.
But I wanted one of my executive producers
to be here in case anything comes up.
Because we're all-- obviously, we
can't be near each other except for immediate family.
So we had a huge meeting, everybody
decided that it would be Andy Lassner,
or maybe everyone knows him better as Average Andy.
He's outside because we're in shelter-in-place here
in California.
So nobody-- Hey, Andy, where are you?
Andy?
I'm here.
There you are.
I'm here.
All right.
I don't see you from outside because it's tinted.
Yes, I know.
It's supposed to be tinted.
Nobody's supposed to look in.
Don't even try.
All right, were you just laying down out there?
Yeah.
I didn't know if we were coming to me or not.
But here I am.
Hi, guys.
Yeah.
Yeah, I decided to come to you.
So listen, this is a good time for you
to be there because the coyotes don't usually
come out this early.
They're too scared of the baby rattlesnakes.
So you should be OK out there.
Yeah, there's no snakes.
You said, Portia said no snakes.
Well that's what she said.
But listen if you're thirsty or anything there's
a garden hose real close by.
OK?
Thank you, Ellen, for taking such good care of me.
I love you.
All right, before we figured out how to do the show again,
I was posting videos of me doing boring things at home,
like a jigsaw puzzle, putting together LEGOs.
I also wrote a novel about a house plant
that falls in love with a garbage disposal.
I'll be reading that later in the week.
Everyone is doing really creative stuff on social media.
My brother Vance, who is very, very funny,
he's doing something on Instagram called
60-second guitar lessons.
He says that he's going to teach you how
to play guitar in 60 seconds.
He's very funny.
Here's one from last week.
Oh, hi.
I'm Vance DeGeneres and welcome to my free 60-second
quick and easy guitar lesson.
We're going to put 60 seconds on the clock, and there we go.
By the end of that 60 seconds, you
will know how to play an A chord.
If you've been watching, I know we've had
issues the last several videos.
We've been trying to teach that A chord,
but something has come up each time, so I apologize for that.
That's not going to happen today.
Grab your guitar because you're gonna learn that A chord.
First, we have a video question from a Steve
in Los Angeles, California.
What's your question?
Hi, I'm Steve in Los Angeles, California.
Is it really necessary to have a guitar for these lessons?
Um, yeah.
Yeah, you need a guitar, Steve.
You can't learn a chord without the guitar.
You can't just do a chord--
[TIMER GOING OFF]
And there goes our time.
So because of your stupid question,
our viewers don't get to learn that A chord.
So thanks a lot for that.
Well, that's our time, so thanks for watching.
We'll see you next time.
Aw.
That sounded funny.
It was funny.
You didn't see it, Andy?
I said it sounded funny.
I can't see anything--
That's true.
--out here, but it sounded funny.
Yeah.
Make sure you follow my brother, Vance, on Instagram.
If you have nothing to do for 60 seconds every day,
it's @vancenotvance.
