  • - All right, let's kick it off with the good news first.

  • (jazzy electronic music)

  • Although Spain and Italy are still reporting

  • more than 10,000 new infections each day,

  • their corona numbers are finally slowing down

  • which could be a sign that the worst has passed.

  • And South Korea, they're superstars.

  • They've reported only 47 new cases yesterday.

  • And with fewer than 200 deaths

  • out of a population of 51 million people,

  • South Korea has basically emerged as maybe the only nation

  • to have handled the pandemic with near complete success.

  • And I mean let's be honest,

  • South Korea was always gonna beat corona

  • because from what I can tell, everyone in that country

  • has a basement inside their basement.

  • So I mean, if you're the virus,

  • good luck finding a South Korean person.

  • But maybe the best news of all

  • is that there are rumors that Netflix

  • might be dropping a new episode of "Tiger King," people.

  • That's right.

  • Jeff Lowe told a fan online that he had been filmed

  • for a new episode scheduled to drop this week!

  • Yeah.

  • And when has Jeff Lowe ever lied?

  • I mean, if you can't trust a 65 year old man

  • who dresses like a rebellious teenager,

  • who can you trust?

  • And I guess this is how low the bar has gotten

  • for what counts as good news right now.

  • We find out there's more episodes about deranged murderers

  • and people being cruel to animals and we're like, "Yes!

  • "Oh, some good news.

  • "Thank you, Lord."

  • And I'm gonna be honest, guys.

  • I am terrified of this news.

  • Because every episode of "Tiger King"

  • has been crazier than the previous episode,

  • so what's gonna happen in this new episode?

  • Are we gonna find out Carole Baskin and her husband

  • faked his death to get the insurance money

  • and he's been secretly living inside

  • one of those tigers all along?

  • Ah!

  • So many people in India are quarantined in their homes

  • that for the first time in a long time

  • you can actually see the real color of the sky.

  • And this has happened

  • in some of the most heavily polluted areas of New Delhi,

  • where there was just smog every single day.

  • And one of the images that's been going viral is this one

  • that came out of New Delhi which shows the before and after

  • of 1.3 billion people staying at home.

  • And that's amazing, right?

  • Just look at how beautiful

  • New Delhi is without any pollution.

  • It looks like the entire city went on "Queer Eye."

  • "You're been hiding yourself under so many layers of smog.

  • "You've gotta let yourself shine, girl."

  • I mean, god damn, those are some blue skies.

  • I bet India probably even forgot

  • there was a time where skies weren't gray.

  • It's the same way America forgot there was a time

  • when presidents weren't orange.

  • Yeah, they used to be brown.

  • And it's not just the environment.

  • With humans locked away,

  • animals are also starting to flourish.

  • Here's some good news coming out of Hong Kong.

  • A zoo, which has been trying unsuccessfully

  • to get its pandas to mate for 10 years

  • reported that finally yesterday

  • the pandas spontaneously started having sex.

  • And the researchers say they think

  • it's because nobody is at the zoo.

  • And I'm like, yeah, I don't need to be a researcher

  • to know that's what's happening.

  • Of course the pandas are having sex now that nobody's there.

  • How do you think you would react if every day

  • hundreds of people came to your bedroom window

  • like, "Come on!

  • "Have sex!

  • "Do it!

  • "Come on, have sex!

  • "Do it, do, put it in!"

  • So I don't blame the pandas.

  • I mean, like, even when I have one person

  • watching me during sex, I'm like,

  • "Hey, can you look the other way?

  • "I'm just getting, yeah, I'm just real self-conscious.

  • "Would you mind looking, look the other way.

  • "It's a lot of pressure."

  • This just makes you realize

  • that when we're telling our grandkids

  • about coronavirus years from now,

  • the animals are gonna be telling

  • a completely different story.

  • "Grandma, tell us about the coronavirus."

  • "Oh, little ones, it was a wonderful time.

  • "There were no humans and your grandpa was smashing me

  • "like there was no tomorrow."

  • So good news for those pandas.

  • Although the bad news is now that nobody's watching,

  • the monkeys have all stopped having sex.

  • Now those guys are freaky.

  • Now, please don't get me wrong,

  • corona's also bringing out some of the best in humanity.

  • - Lifting spirits during this tough time

  • is a real superhero.

  • Batman is hitting the streets of San Diego.

  • - [Reporter] By day, Chris Banner runs a lawn service,

  • helping cut weeds and fire lines on people's property.

  • But when duty calls,

  • (Batsignal hails)

  • he suits up.

  • He's go the Batsuit and he's got the wheels,

  • a replica 1989 Batmobile that he and a friend built.

  • Normally, Chris gets paid to make appearances

  • at birthday parties and other special occasions.

  • But while the pandemic goes on,

  • he decided to just hit the road and make people smile.

  • - Aw.

  • That is such a sweet idea, man.

  • That guy's a hero.

  • I just hope he never started talking like Batman,

  • 'cause would've freaked people out.

  • "Yay, it's Batman!"

  • "That's right, kids, it's me."

  • "Whoa, is that coronavirus?

  • "Get away, dude, get away!"

  • "No, this is just how I."

  • "Well, this is not the time.

  • "Just use your normal voice, man.

  • "What's wrong with you?"

  • "Yeah, you're right, I should."

  • "Okay, go back to the other voice.

  • "That one is not cool."

  • Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter

  • and world's richest barista,

  • has announced that he will be donating $1 billion

  • to help fight the coronavirus.

  • That's 28% of his wealth.

  • Yeah.

  • And that's amazing.

  • Using your money to fight coronavirus.

  • And what better person to fight a thing

  • that's poisoning society

  • than the inventor of a thing that's poisoning society.

  • No, I'm just being a hater, man.

  • This is incredible.

  • Like, for real.

  • It's incredible because it's generous,

  • it's a powerful gesture at a moment like this,

  • and it's also throwing shade,

  • so much shade at Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.

  • Because they also donated money,

  • but they donated way, way less than Dorsey

  • and they've got way, way more money than Dorsey.

  • He donated, like, 30% of his net worth

  • and they donated less than 1/2 a percent of their net worth.

  • It's like if the check at a restaurant came

  • and everyone else tips five bucks

  • and then you buy the waiter a Lamborghini.

  • That's basically what Dorsey did right here.

  • "Yeah, yeah, thanks, the service was great.

  • "Oh, my friends?

  • "Yeah, they're just cheap bitches.

  • "You know how it is."

  • Now look, not everyone has a billion dollars

  • which is why people around the world have found

  • all sorts of ways to try

  • and stop the spread of this disease.

  • For instance, you know how we're all stressed

  • about making sure that we keep six feet

  • between ourselves and other people when we're out in public?

  • Well, some amateur inventors

  • have come up with their own novel solutions.

  • - [Reporter] This man's wacky social distancing device

  • is going viral.

  • He designed his contraption out of tent poles and duct tape

  • in order to know exactly how far away six feet is.

  • - Okay, that is a super smart idea.

  • But I will say it could've been a lot easier.

  • I mean, it's cool to have the disc and everything,

  • but all you have to do to keep people from coming near you

  • is just carry a clipboard.

  • Yeah, and then you just ask people

  • if they have a few minutes to save the environment

  • and everyone will stay at least six feet away.

  • And keeping people six feet away from you is a great idea

  • until you need to get close to some people

  • because they're delivering your food.

  • So how do you solve that problem?

  • Well, two heroes in Missouri, they totally figured it out.

  • - [Reporter] A woman in Missouri

  • is taking no-contact delivery to the next level.

  • This is video from TikTok user Tracey.

  • She and her roommate set up a pulley system

  • to get their pizza without ever having to open their door.

  • They did it all using a box and some heavy duty yarn.

  • They just put the cash in the box and they lowered it.

  • - Tell me that is not genius.

  • Like, what else were they gonna do?

  • The only other solution would've been

  • to just have the delivery person leave the food at the door

  • and then wait 15 seconds for them to leave,

  • but there's no fun in that.

  • And what an emotional rollercoaster

  • this must've been for that pizza, hmm?

  • You don't think about that.

  • One minute the pizza was in there all happy like,

  • "It's happening!

  • "I'm going to Heaven, I can feel it.

  • "I'm floating.

  • "I'm, no!

  • "Why is she eating me?

  • "Ah!

  • "This is the bad place!"

  • Now I know what you're thinking,

  • "Trevor, how am I gonna work off all of this pizza

  • "that I keep ordering at home if I can't get to the gym?"

  • Well, here's a question.

  • Why make it to the gym

  • when you can have the gym make it to you?

  • - One man not letting his gym closing down

  • keep him from getting in a good workout.

  • So he turned to nature.

  • - [Woman] Yeah, Zachary Skidmore got a chainsaw out

  • and went to work.

  • Built himself what he's calling the Lumberjack Gym

  • out of logs from his farm.

  • The lumberjacked gym includes a bench press, squat rack,

  • leg press, dumb bells, yes, even a treadmill,

  • and it's all made out of wood.

  • (hands clapping slowly)

  • - That is impressive.

  • Because if I built a gym out of a forest,

  • I wouldn't have energy to work out

  • because I just built a gym out of a forest.

  • And this guy's attention to detail is truly impressive.

  • Did you see all the pieces?

  • He's got the bench, he's got the leg press,

  • he's go the squat machine,

  • he's got everything you would find in the gym.

  • Yeah, he even made the old man in the locker room

  • who refuses to cover up his balls.

  • Yeah, that was really intricate.

  • Like, the detail around the testicles.

  • That's a lot of wood chipping right there, my friends.

  • Also, this is a great idea

  • until the animals discover this forest gym

  • because our one saving grace as humans

  • is that animals don't really work out.

  • Can you imagine when the bears discover this and get jacked?

  • It's over for us.

  • With people no longer able to go out

  • to their favorite restaurants,

  • some restaurants are helping people restaurant at home.

  • Yeah, they're helping people

  • create the experience themselves.

  • Like yesterday, Waffle House began selling

  • bags of its signature waffle mix for $20

  • and they were completely sold out in four hours.

  • And I think this is a great idea.

  • In fact, I hope all fast food chains give us the ingredients

  • to mimic the experience of eating there.

  • You know, they should just tell us how they do it

  • so we can do it for ourselves.

  • Like Popeyes, they can teach you

  • how to make their Spicy Chicken Sandwich

  • or Chick-fil-A, they can show you how to use pickles

  • to hate gay people.

  • And White Castle can teach you

  • how to beat yourself up in a parking lot.

  • In more good news, coronavirus is now shutting down wars.

  • Yes.

  • Saudi Arabia has announced

  • that they will stop bombing Yemen,

  • one of the world's poorest countries,

  • and they say they're gonna do this

  • in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus there.

  • And this is so inspiring right now

  • because Saudi Arabia is basically like,

  • "Let us work together to kill this virus

  • "so that we can go back to killing each other.

  • "Because otherwise the virus wins, my friends.

  • "Do you agree?"

  • "Why don't you just not kill me?"

  • "Hey, hey, hey, hey.

  • "Do you agree or not?"

  • "Yeah okay, I guess so."

  • Speaking of winning, back here in the United States

  • Dr. Anthony Fauci, lead member

  • of the White House Coronavirus Task Force,

  • and hottest doctor since McDreamy,

  • has announced that thanks to social distancing,

  • extreme social distancing,

  • the US is starting to see some glimmers of hope.

  • And he also said that the country might not reach

  • the 100,000 deaths as originally projected.

  • This is amazing news.

  • But, he cautioned everybody to take this as a sign

  • that official warnings have been effective,

  • but not that they were overblown.

  • Or as he put it, "Now is not the time to pull back at all.

  • "It's a time for us to intensify our efforts."

  • And I completely hear what Dr. Fauci is saying.

  • Fighting coronavirus is a lot like having sex.

  • When you're close to achieving your goal,

  • that's not the time to pull back.

  • "I'm almost there, I'm almost there.

  • "I'm, wait, why are you stopping?

  • "Well, you said you were almost there,

  • "so I figure we can go back outside."

  • "What?"

  • (jazzy electronic music)

- All right, let's kick it off with the good news first.
