      He’s just another human being. And a good one at that. Chris does this effort for our benefit. It’s no surprise to me. And in a sense Chris is as relentless in bringing us good content from voices we want to hear as relentless in their talents as the guests he interviews. This was unimaginable not so long ago. I don’t think people truly realize the real work that goes into this. Sure Chris is cutesy patootsy. That MF works his ass off. You see it across the board. Mike I. Subject yourself to that humbling . Anything is possible

    I love how a ultra-wide (cinematic?) aspect ratio was used for this particular interview. Not only does it fit perfectly on my main monitor at home, but it fills my phone's entire screen. As for Matthew McConaughey, I don't follow actors too closely but I like his portrayal of Coop in 'Interstellar'.

      @@patriciafaraci5014 I think it's just very trimmed-down. Maybe a longer version will be uploaded at a later date?
      Sometimes these sorts interviews (famous person with a RUclipsr) aren't that long to begin with (time is money, places to be...), and after editing it would only get shorter. Although, to be clear, I'm just guessing.
