I need you to explain where you've been
00:00:02
to the people, sir, by the way.
00:00:03
>> Well, Cara, I was I was presented with
00:00:05
an opportunity to bring potable water to
00:00:07
the good people of subsaharan Africa.
00:00:09
>> No,
00:00:11
>> which is which is Latin for I have had
00:00:13
cosmetic surgery. And u essentially, I
00:00:16
just wanted to look natural. And I guess
00:00:18
if looking natural means looking like
00:00:20
you're surprised all the [ __ ] time
00:00:22
and your nose looks like a minivan from
00:00:24
the 80s,
00:00:25
>> we've achieved that. Cara,
00:00:27
>> we have liftoff. So, the camera is off.
00:00:29
Sorry, folks. I'm confident enough to be
00:00:32
transparent. I'm not confident enough
00:00:33
for the comments that we would receive
00:00:35
right now.
00:00:36
>> Yeah, I have seen the pictures. Picture
00:00:38
Scott kindly sent me a picture and I was
00:00:40
at first I was like, "Oh, come on. How
00:00:42
bad could it be?" And then I'm like,
00:00:43
"Oh, now explain why you did it."
00:00:45
>> The honest answer, Cara, after having a
00:00:48
lot of Xanax and opiates to think about
00:00:49
it is I cannot for the life of me
00:00:51
figuring out the [ __ ] hole I am
00:00:53
trying to fill here. I have felt I'm
00:00:55
going to call it aism, but I've been
00:00:56
really cognizant of my age recently. A
00:00:58
lot of people online are referencing my
00:01:00
age to criticize me like what does this
00:01:03
guy know? And also I think just more
00:01:05
practically I've been on TV a lot
00:01:08
because of the book tour and I've just
00:01:09
noticed the dark circles under my eyes.
00:01:11
And also the bottom line is if I have
00:01:13
[ __ ] you money, I want a [ __ ] you face.
00:01:15
>> We talked about whether you should say
00:01:16
anything and I said I am not going to
00:01:18
pretend if it looks really different and
00:01:20
it does. It looks slightly slightly
00:01:22
different. It's not easy being a four.
00:01:24
And you know what's so scary is last
00:01:25
night I was looking at Ferraris.
00:01:28
>> What is next?
00:01:29
>> I don't know. ED drugs. That's what's
00:01:32
coming next.
00:01:32
>> Well, you'll be dating the guys from
00:01:34
Heated Rivalry soon enough. That's where
00:01:36
we'll go.
