Welcome to the ID TNT podcast number 1129. Hey, if you're a walking dead fan, then it might be relevant to your interest to know that the walking dead season 11 preview special will be live August 15th will be back in our old studio that we haven't been in in like a year and a half.

You know the the talking dead set looks like like oh, it's oh, it's my loft apartment and but it's obviously it's a television set, but we have for the last year and a half been doing the show actually from my house.

So it'll be really amazing to get back into the studio be live again again. That's August 15th and then the following week August 22nd will be back with the walking dead season 11 premiere followed by a live all new talking dead.

So that is all the walking dead news for right now. Let's talk about you the ID TNT community events at ID TNT.com like Ruben who writes. Hey big fan of the show.

Y'all are the big reason I was inspired to take action and do this thing. I was so impacted by what's going on right now with the near extinct Vakita purpose.

There are only 10 or less that exist in the world throughout the beginning of the pandemic till now my girlfriend Shaila and I illustrated and wrote a children's book to help bring awareness to the situation of the Vakita.

They are the most endangered marine mammal in the world and are getting caught in nets in at sea from illegal poaching.

We started a Kickstarter to raise just enough to actually print our book get it into the hands of readers and pledgers and will be donating the remaining copies to libraries around the world.

It will be a beautiful hard bound book made with quality. Please help us spread the word.

If you go to Kickstarter you can type in Chikita the Vakita in the Kickstarter search bar and you'll find it anything and everything is appreciated. Thank you.

Ruben thank you so much for sharing events at ID TNT.com for anyone else who has a thing that they would like to share or promote.

This episode is Matt Damon who's promoting still water which is in theaters today the release of the podcast July 30th and this was such a wonderful conversation.

I never met Matt Damon before. I didn't know what to expect and I was so delighted by the conversation. It's so nice to see that you know people especially on this level literally like one of the highest grossing box office performers in the world.

So down to earth so funny warm friendly and also love stand up comedy like we had a really great talk about stand up comedy as well.

So this was just an absolute pleasure to talk with Matt and I really really really appreciated the hour that he took to sit down and have a chat.

So here is the ID TNT podcast number 1129 with Mr. Matt Damon as we roll the thing.

Initiating ID TNT protocol.

What a nice background. What is what is what are all the plants and jars behind your head.

I have no idea. I'm at the one hotel in Brooklyn and I think it's kind of a hipster joint and so this is like.

It's like you get the sense there was like artisanal something in those jars and now they're now they're being repurposed you know for to put plants in because we don't think away.

Plants and local honey.

Exactly.
