Why does Trevor ask Will for a testimonial and talk about his weight loss?
If you made a website and you need a testimonial, I'll come on there. Yeah. The amount of times, can I tell you something? The amount of times I have not eaten something because of Will, like you are responsible for 50 pounds I do not have on my body. That's a lot. That's good. The amount of times Will has gone, man, you don't need that when we're on the road. Man, you don't need that. But he'll eat it later.
That's weird, isn't it?
This may or may not be true. No, but I'm serious. You know why? Because you've never judged me. I don't see you judge people. No. But you get into like a very, you get into like a very inspirational. No, Will gets very like, he gets very motivational. Like Will will be like, and then he'll be, and then start telling you about like the benefits of omega-3s and fatty acids in fish and why you should move to fish and you need this in your body. And then he'll like squeeze, he'll take like a piece of steak from your plate. Then he'll squeeze it. Then the fat comes out. Then he's like, he's like this fat. This is going to your heart, man. This is going to your heart. And then he puts it back down. And then he's like, you're going to eat that?
And he's like, no, I'm not going to eat that anymore.
You know what I should do also? I was a big fan of this guy.
No, he does. It's a good thing. But it's when Will gets into like healthy food mode. It's one of the best shows you'll ever watch in your life. Because he's so evangelical about it. You see why I listen to 30% of what my friends say?
This is What Now with Trevor Noah.
I feel like you make people uncomfortable with how you dress all the time. No, Will is like... Why are you even looking at me like that? What do you mean? Will. Yeah, what do you mean? You are the king of dressing incorrectly for the climate that we're in. Tell us more. Yo, when we were in Singapore, we went out... Why are you admitting? Why are you... We were out in Singapore.
You are an accused right now, so I'm trying to defend you. We're on trial.
You can't defend this man when he's beyond guilty. He's like the archetype. We're in Singapore... If you've ever been to Singapore, especially in the summer, it is one of the hottest, most humid places you've ever... Does Singapore have winter? Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. In the summer... Okay. Their winter is just a nice... Their winter is what a Norwegian person would consider a warm, sunny day. It was summer. We went out. Humid. Humid, humid, humid. Humid, like full on... Everyone's sweating everywhere. This man next to me came out in layers. It was so bad that people... We're taking pictures. So people would come to the shows and stuff. So they're like, can we get selfies? Can we get pictures? They took pictures of us.
You remember this? And then all the people said in the comments on the pictures on Instagram and everywhere was, yo, why is that guy dressed like that in Singapore? Who is that man? And why is he dressed? It didn't matter where the pictures were posted. People were made uncomfortable by Will Silvins.
I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. I like the heat. I love the heat. A big heat fan. But I don't wear scarves. Real men don't wear scarves. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. This is a true story that happened to me. I wore a scarf one time. I can't remember, a long, long time ago. I was getting off the train, right? My scarf got caught. We know how to close the doors. I almost choked. I had to let the scarf go. And the train took off with my scarf waving. I know people was laughing. Some people was laughing. And then I was like, never again.
Yeah. Because there's a few garments that I think should not have been add-ons in any case, right? So a pullover jersey. What do you call it here? Like, you know, a jersey that doesn't have sleeves. Oh, what is... Sleeveless. But it's a jersey like this. And then you call this a jersey?
Yeah, we call those jerseys. Sweater.
A knitted sweater. A sweater with no sleeves. With no sleeves. No. You know those people who wear those? Yeah, because they have cold hair, but warm hair.
