But nothing, and i mean nothing makes me feel older than when i dont know the new slang terms teenagers are using. And it seems like these days teen slang terms are evolving so fast that sometimes its hard to keep up. So we decided to give you a little primer on new teen slang terms in a segment we call seth explains teen slang. [ cheers and applause ] seth our first new teen slang term is snaperone. Lets see the definition. Its someone who accompanies you to a party to make sure you dont post anything embarrassing to snapchat. [ light laughter ] for example, ians wasted and about to send a video of himself singing i will always love you to his ex. Where the hells his snaperone . [ light laughter ] moving on, this next one was inspired by the british superspy james bond. Its james bong. This is someone who has multiple gadgets that conceal weed. [ light laughter ] for example, everyone thinks glen is weird because he brings a pen, a watch and a nighttime camera on field trips, but when he opens them up, the names bong, james bong. [ applause ] next up, we have butterfingers. Lets see what it means. Its a girl who is totally attractive except for her fingers. [ laughter ] here it is in a sentence. Dude, jasmine used to be hot as hell, but then she spent all summer working in her uncles metal shop. Total butterfingers. [ laughter and applause ] our next new teen slang term very popular, bolshedick. Its the kid who just got into communism and is really annoying about it. [ laughter and applause ] see it in a sentence, mrs. Wallace asked jacob why he didnt do his homework, and he said, because i refuse to be a slave to your capitalist system. Shes going to send that bolshedick to siberia. [ laughter and applause ] next we have storyoke. Heres the definition, its when you take someone elses story and try to pass it off as your own. [ light laughter ] here it is in a sentence. Reese is telling everyone that he is the one who punched that cop at last weeks tailgate when i know it was kyle because kyle is still in jail. [ light laughter ] storyoke. Moving on, you might be familiar with the slang term get swoll, which means to lift a bunch of weights and build muscle. This next term is get swell. Its when theres no chance youll ever be muscular so you have to settle for being nice. [ laughter and applause ] its a helpful one, its very helpful. For example, brock asked me how much i could lift and i said one heart. [ light laughter ] he still punched me in the stomach but im pretty sure hes coming around. Getswell. Our next teen slang term is j. K. Rowling. Heres its definition, to take ecstasy and watch all the harry potter movies. For example, dude, want to go j. K. Rowling tonight . I heard half blood prince lines up perfectly with the new migos album. And lets lets just look to see what that looks like. Records on records cool cool i take your right from you bitch im a dog [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth perfect. Lined up perfectly. Our next slang our next slang term, is very is blowing up with teens. Its very important because teens have never had a way to express this before. Its grammar time. And lets see what grammar time means. Grammar time is that rare magical time when a rerun of frasier is on one channel and cheers is on another. [ laughter ] here it is in a sentence, wow, i practically cant change the channel without seeing kelsey g. Crushing it as dr. Fraz. Guess its time to stop. Grammar time. [ laughter and applause ] before that before that teens had to explain the whole thing. There wasnt a slang term. [ light laughter ] if you were a teenager and you saw frasier on one channel and cheers on the other and you wanted to call your friend, you just had to say that. [ light laughter ] now you can just say grammar time and they know what you mean. Can you imagine what life was like for teens before that . I dont think you guys are impressed enough with grammar time. [ laughter ] our last teen slam term is trump presidency. [ laughter ] its a noun used when youre pretty sure the teacher doesnt understand the material. [ cheers and applause ] here it is in a sentence. History class today felt like a real trump presidency. Mr. Solomon just said, the teapot dome scandal was a very big scandal. Huge scandal. Lots of broken teapots, lots of unhappy people without tea.

After the devastation caused by hurricanes harvey and irma, dozens of cities and millions of americans are beginning the rebuilding process. In doing so, they will have to rely on the assistance from the federal government, especially the department of housing and urban development otherwise known as hud. So how prepared are hud and its secretary dr. Ben carson to deal with this National Emergency . Its time for the checkin. [ cheers and applause ] seth millions of americans depend on hud for Housing Assistance and other programs including our most vulnerable citizens like the elderly and the disabled. And to lead the agency, President Trump appointed former republican president ial candidate dr. Ben carson. Ahem. I said, dr. Ben carson [ light laughter ] this whole thing is going to be about you. Now, regardless of what you think of his politics, dr. Carsons own story was remarkable. He was raised by his mother who had to work several jobs to make ends meet and he went on to become one of the most respected pediatric neurosurgeons in the world. But his qualifications to head hud were rightfully questioned almost immediately after trump announced his nomination. And those concerned were not just pointing to his lack of experience, but also highlighting that trump was putting carson in charge of an agency whose core mission he did not seem to believe in. Hes never really done anything with housing policy, with urban development policy, and hes never run a major organization. During the primary he criticized housing regulations to address segregation in Public Housing. Ben carson actually doesnt believe in the fair housing act. Being a neurosurgeon doesnt make you qualified to be the head of hud. Leadership skills are not transferable. You know what i mean . Like Ghostface Killah is the leader of wutang clan, right. Lebron james, the leader of the cleveland cavaliers. Doesnt mean they should be the leader of housing and urban development. Seth and speaking of the wutang clan, carson definitely isnt qualified to lead that either, as evidenced by this failed attempt to try to appeal to African American voters during the president ial campaign with this radio ad. America became a great nation early on. If you want to get america back on track we got to vote ben carson as a matter of fact go out and vote im ben carson and i approve this message. [ light laughter ] seth that rap was so bad the mike dropped him. [ laughter ] and then during his confirmation hearing, senator Elizabeth Warren questioned dr. Carson about whether or not the trump family would benefit financially from his tenure as hud secretary and carson gave in unfortunate answer. Listen closely. My concern is whether or not among the billions of dollars that you will be responsible for handing out in grants and loans, can you just assure us that not one dollar will go to benefit either the president elect or his family . It will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any any american. [ laughter ] seth and so far hes succeeding. [ light laughter ] now, obviously, obviously carson misspoke there. But he didnt exactly put critics at ease with his introductory speech to hud employees back in march. A speech that his wife had tried her best to build up. Were really excited about working with well, hes really im excited just because youre doing it. So, thank you so much. And im going to leave it to the secretary now. Seth all right, that was a great setup by mrs. Carson. Ben is excited to be here. Now its time to prove it. Well, i must say its really quite a new exciting adventure for me coming to the this. [ laughter ] seth its an exciting adventure coming to the this . [ light laughter ] you gotta have to have no cards, buddy. [ light laughter ] this has been looking forward to this. This is the so great the me. [ light laughter ] also, thats the excited ben carson . What does he look like relaxed . His beach vacations must be constantly interrupted by people giving him cpr. [ laughter ] now, in that speech carson was dressing hud employees who were eager to learn about their new boss vision for the agency. But instead, they heard a weird collection of personal stories and scifi tidbits. I even liked going to the doctors office. Tells you i was a strange kid, you know. I would gladly sacrifice a shot just so i could smell the alcohol swabs. [ light laughter ] but there is nothing in this universe that even begins to compare with the human brain. And what it is capable of. I could take the oldest person here, make a little hole right here on the side of the head and put some depth electrodes into their hippocampus. Seth what does that have to do with housing and urban development . [ light laughter ] you see, the head is the house of the brain. [ light laughter ] how many alcohol swabs did you smell . [ light laughter ] though carson wasnt just making bizarre statements. He was also making changes at hud, which critics have called a near dismantling of the agency. An investigation by propublica new york magazine, for example, found that new leadership was often actively discouraging initiative on the part of the employees and was also actively slowing down new initiatives. Secretary carson said Public Housing shouldnt be too comfortable for anyone so people wouldnt actually want to actually stay there. And he made that statement even after this happened while he was touring Affordable Housing in miami. Hud secretary ben carson got stuck on an elevator while touring a housing complex in miami. Weve just been visiting with secretary ben carson of housing and urban development who was touring this overtown apartment complex here and hes been stuck in the elevator. You can see firefighters from the city of miami there trying to figure out how to free him. Seth of course, theres a good chance carson didnt realize he was stuck in an elevator. [ light laughter ] this apartment is too nice. Its got buttons to play with and a little bar to hang your clothes. [ light laughter ] and when hud isnt busy hiring unqualified people, theyre not hiring people at all. According to reports, and this is something secretary carson also admits, almost all of the top legal jobs below him are not filled. But if theres anything we know about ben carson is that he likes to take his time. [ cheers and applause ] dr. Ben carson. [ laughter ] seth ben carson could get stuck on an elevator when hes not on an elevator. [ laughter ] and all this is especially troubling right now because more and more people will come to rely on hud as it faces its greatest challenge yet under this administration. Two of the most important agencies involved in houston now and maybe for the next year, hud, ben carsons hud, and the epa. Hud obviously will play a key role because there are a lot of people facing real housing crises after this storm. Seth thats right. Many americans impacted by the storm will have no choice but to turn to hud. And although secretary carson has promised that his agency would take care of families left homeless by the storm, thanks to his boss, the money may not be there to do so in the near future. You have a budget, though, where hud has been cut for 2018 for the trump administration, 13 reduction from 2017. A 6 billion cut to hud including ending the Community Development block grants. Those are programs that were used, for example, after new orleans, to rebuild new orleans, also after hurricane sandy, so theres some alarm among housing advocates that when you say get the government out of your life, youre meaning get the government out of poor peoples lives or peoples lives who need it in a crisis. Seth thats right. Money to help homeowners and businesses to rebuild after a disaster go through huds 3 billion Community DevelopmentBlock Grant Program that trump has proposed getting rid of altogether. And according to reports its unclear how Disaster Recovery money would be affected or delivered without the program. Now trump did sign a 15 billion hurricane related aid bill, which would give emergency funding to agencies like fema and hud for the very same program that trump had asked to eliminate in his initial budget proposal, further underscoring this administrations lack of understanding about how important these programs are. And not just in times of national crisis. And its not just hud, while trump is busy praising agencies that are helping with Disaster Relief, theyre also the same agencies whose funding he wants to slash. Now is not the time to cut back on Disaster Relief programs. Especially not when hurricanes are lining up like they have numbers at a deli. [ light laughter ] so lets hope trumps housing secretary ben carson doesnt walk away from the American People the way he walked away from this reporter in my favorite clip from last year. We just saw mr. Trump here. We asked him how did it go. He said great and he learned a lot of things. What do you think he took away from today . My luggage. [ laughter and applause ] okay. Looks like dr. Carson is going to try to find his luggage and hell be right back with us. Seth this has been the checkin. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with emma roberts, everybody.

Elaine bradley, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] so happy to have you here, elaine. Thank you. Seth our first guest tonight is a talented actress you know from scream queens and American Horror story. She returns to American Horror story for its current season, cult, which airs tuesdays on fx. She runs the online book club, bellatrist. Please welcome back to the show, emma roberts, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back. Hows it going . Seth good. Im so happy to have you here. So happy to see you. Seth so i want to talk about American Horror story but i also want to talk about your book club. This is an online book club. Yes. Seth and you are a reader. Youre a big reader. Im a big reader. Seth and you is this true that you travel with multiple books . I do. I travel with physical books, too. Everyone is on their ipad, but i have like ten books in my bag at all times. Seth wow. Which makes it very heavy. Seth yeah. I actually, i get stopped going through Airport Security a lot. cause i get bag checked for it. Seth really . Theres something about books that make people worried . I feel like that really says how bad our country is going. It does. Seth like, uh oh, weve got a reader. [ laughter ] no, literally, theyre like this is a random bag check. And theyll be going through my bag and i actually tried to start recommending my books to the tsa person. And she was like, this is a bag check not a book club. And i was like, no, i have a book club, actually. Seth we can do both. We can have a bag so do you just not i think youre right. Because i just went on a trip and i was really mad at myself because i brought no physical books. I just brought, you know, my ipad to read on, and then i just got distracted. Like its too easy to like lose your book and like move on to like the internet and stuff like that. No, i feel like definitely i love to read because reading a real book, theres no notifications that come up. Seth yeah. Because im constantly getting distracted with my phone and with my ipad. And so its so nice to be able to like check out. I try to read 20 to 30 minutes a day minimum and just like take that time. Seth my one problem with the physical book is light at night. Have you cracked the night light for book reading . I have to say, i havent found a book light that i love. Seth okay. I wish someone would invent one, by the way. So ive gone into the Hardware Store and just gotten a head lamp and worn it on my head, because then you can read with both hands. Its so much easier. Seth thats true. Thats my hat. Seth i like a heavy duty flashlight. And now what is it so you have an online book club. What is that . Like how does that work . No, its called belletrist. Seth okay. And you basically can sign up on belletrist. Com or follow us on instagram. Seth gotcha. And you can be a belletrist babe or a belletrist beau. Seth oh wow. Thats great. So i would like to be a belletrist babe or a belletrist beau. Seth i would love to be one or the other. [ light laughter ] and so i and so then you go into the book club and is it sort of a way that you can pick books and do you actually interact with people about what theyre reading . Yes, so basically you pick one book a month. Its me and my best friend who started it. And we have discussions with it, and basically we interview authors, because im obsessed with authors. I get starstruck meeting authors more than i do with anybody else. Seth its really exciting. I love having authors on this show. I love talking to authors. You interviewed joan didion, right . Early on . I did. Seth was that your first . Joan didion is how we kicked off belletrist. It was amazing for me, because shes literally my favorite, favorite person in the whole world and she agreed to give us an interview. And so thats how we kicked off the whole book club which was insane and i fell to my knees, literally, when i got the news. Seth and you, obviously have been on the other side of being interviewed. Did you find interviewing came easy to you . Its terrifying. Seth thank you. [ laughter ] i dont know how you do it. Seth thank you for admitting it. Yeah. No, its really terrifying. I also interviewed ariel levy. She has a book called, the rules do not apply, which i love. And i waited in line and got the strand. And like a line around the block to interview her and got up there and i just blanked. Seth you waited in line . And then was there someone in line behind you thinking, oh my god is this person going to do a full interview . No. Seth okay good. Hopefully not. Seth im glad to hear that. Well thats fantastic. Im so glad you started this book club. Yeah, i love it. Seth such a great idea. I also want to talk American Horror story. You have been in multiple seasons of the show. I have. Seth i know youre not allowed to say much about your character. They keep everything under wraps on this show. They do. Seth but this is what weve seen of your character so far. And that seems pretty much in line with American Horror story. Always. Always knives. Seth what is your job on this show . I play a newscaster. Seth okay, so i think the very fact that you have a knife means that youre maybe not the most settled newscaster. Probably not. [ light laughter ] no, i play newscaster and her name is serena belinda. Seth okay. And she is not the nicest person, as you can see. But thats pretty much all i can say. Seth thats pretty much all you can say. Pretty much. Seth and then do you youve been on the show. You also watch the show, is that safe to say . I do. Barely, though. My friends are obsessed with the show. And so ill watch it with them. And im the person that literally screams when things happen. And they were like, you were there. [ laughter ] like how are you surprised . So its not scary when were shooting it, but when were watching it im usually like this most of the time. Seth and you hurt yourself on set but not during shooting . That is true. I was injured not on the set but outside set. Seth okay. I had a runin with a sliding glass door and broke my nose. Seth oh wow. Were you reading a book . [ laughter ] i was reading and i walked into a glass door and broke my nose. Seth i was using both hands. See, thats why i use one hand and i just do this when i walk. Yeah. [ laughter ] no, i walked into a sliding glass door and so we had to move shooting. Seth oh, it was so bad that you had to move shooting . Because i broke my nose. Seth yeah. And so then when i came back to set, you know, theres a lot of clowns this season. And there was like a safety meeting with the clowns. It was a very amazing visual of all the clowns holding knives getting a Safety Instruction about to be careful of my nose. Seth thats fantastic. Yeah. I like that knife wielding clowns also put safety first. Yeah. [ laughter ] thats comforting. Seth theyre like, look, were clowns, were going to wield some knives, were here to obviously terrorize, but if youve recently had an injury, wed love to know what it is. Totally. Totally. [ light laughter ] i think thats kind. Seth yeah. So, sarah paulson, is it true that sarah paulson, one of your costars on your show, another amerian horror story person. Yes. Seth she bought your house. She did. Seth and here you are, youre two people from the horror story franchise and she was actually excavating in your old home and found something that i would say is the opposite of what you would expect from horror story people. Yeah. Seth what did she find . She found a pool. Seth she found a pool . She found a pool. It was a seth there was an old pool underneath the ground that you never knew you had. There was. And you know, i wanted to move out of that house because im like, maybe i want a house with a pool. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] well, guess who got a house with a pool. Seth thats fantastic. And guess who still hasnt found a house . Seth yeah. Me. Seth well now, i think i would just buy the next house you see and then just dig up the lawn and hope you get lucky. [ laughter ] well i actually asked her if she would sell it back to me, but i havent heard back, so. Im still waiting on that call. Seth yeah, youll probably wait for a while longer.

[ laughter ] i do i mean, i get asked to be its like hipster, shaman, time traveling hobo. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Which that sounds i would do that. Seth yeah. But i finally got given like a character and i was like, okay, this is really interesting, i can really do this. Seth and what was the character . Its a guy who gets his head blown off within like 30 seconds of the film. Seth oh, wow. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth and so did you but i, yeah, the first well, it was like two days and the first day and this is with real, real actors like sterling k. Brown. Seth fantastic actor. And brian tyree henry. Both in it, and i was basically like riffing the whole first day, which i didnt even realize. Much like right now. Seth you mean not doing your lines. Spontaneously riffing. No, yeah, i was i didnt have lines the first day. And i went to the director and i was like, am i doing okay . And he was like, yeah, youre good, you do part of making movies is doing the same thing every time. Seth yeah. And also you cant like apologize to the person you just pistol whipped. You know, because you feel selfconscious. [ laughter ] so i was like, okay. And so the second day was kind of my big scene. Like me and these future bank robbers blow a hole through a wall, then we run out and i yell something like, when were you going to tell us . That was like my one line. Seth thats great. [ light laughter ] but the first scene, i like keystone cops just like trip out of the hole and then i breathed in all this like particle dust and im coughing through my line and like sputtering just like, oh god, im blowing it. Like, im never going to get to play that time traveling hobo. [ laughter ] and sterling and brian both look at me like and instead of copping to it like a decent person, i pretended like im some kind of genius like action hero. [ light laughter ] seth oh wow. I mean, coughing and tripping on purpose is like black belt acting. [ laughter ] so i spent the day just like coughing and tripping through the scenes and the kind of a law of diminishing returns with the feedback. Seth yeah. Like the fifth time it was like, ehh [ laughter and applause ] seth i think who is father john what . Who is this dude . Seth you have an interesting back story. You grew up in an evangelical household. Yeah. Seth and your parents would not let you listen to secular music . Yeah. It was like chicago, u2 and a Peter Gabriel album. Thats like all i knew about music. Seth thats wow, and so, now, based on where you ended up, do you think youre sort of a cautionary tale for parents who think they can keep music away from kids . [ light laughter ] yeah. Parents, think twice. [ laughter ] think twice before you try to instill eternal truths in your children. Seth yeah, did you you obviously, you made this choice to play a sort of a persona and your music is about sort of complicated themes about things that are happening in the world right now. Thank you. Seth yeah, youre very welcome. [ light laughter ] you know, but you had all this success. Are you surprised with the choices you made that it actually led to sort of commercial success . I am. Because if you put what i do on paper and submitted it to like a manage in terms of like a, you know, guidelines for success, youd get fired. [ light laughter ] seth yeah. Yeah. Just like dress up like a hogwarts professor who has just been awoken from his sleep and dance like youre having a seizure and youll be on Good Morning America. [ light laughter ] in a year. Seth your last album was originally conceived as a musical. You were going to do a full musical. Oh, yeah. Seth and then it became then it went back to just an album. Did you have a moment of realization of, oh, a musical is not the right idea . I did. Seth you got fairly i can kind of reverse engineer this story, but it ended with me like on an airplane next to my choreographer. We were flying here to audition seth you were pretty far down the line. Oh yeah, yeah. The chiffon banana peels had all been made. [ light laughter ] we had cast Father John Misty, like we had great actor to play Father John Misty. And i was sitting next to my choreographer, and shes like, i dont know what it was about this, but she was like, so this scene where the girl scouts are sexually assaulting mother earth, like what is this about . And i was like give me one second. [ laughter ] i got to go smoke. Turns out, cant smoke on a plane. And then, so i went to the bathroom and emailed my manager and was like, this is not good. [ laughter ] this is this thing that i had written i mean by the time i finished writing it, it resembled more something that should be scrawled on cardboard and held by a transient on the side of the road, than like a musical. And i came to my scene and was like, hey, musicals off, so lets just try to enjoy ourselves in new york. Seth yeah, so you had then an awkward rest of the flight with the choreographer who was no longer needed. Yeah, well, she was just like consoling me for the rest of the flight. Seth okay, gotcha. I was just like, dont know whats wrong with me. [ laughter ] shes like, dance it out [ laughter ] seth choreographers always want you to dance it out. Yeah. Come on, just, dance it out, come on.

[ cheers and applause ] seth now performing his song, things that would have been helpful to know before the revolution, welcome back Father John Misty. [ cheers and applause ] it got too hot and so we overthrew the system cause theres no place for human existence like right here on this bright blue marble orbited by trash man theres no beating that it was no big thing to give up the way of life we had oh ho oh my social life is now quite a bit less hectic the nightlife and the protest are pretty scarce now i mostly spend the long days walking through the city empty as a tomb sometimes i miss the top of the food chain but what a perfect afternoon industry and commerce toppled to their knees the gears of progress halted the underclass set free the superego shatters with our ideologies the obscene injunction to enjoy life disappears as in a dream and as we return to our native state to our primal scene the temperature it started dropping the ice flows began to freeze from time to time we all get a bit restless with no one advertising to us constantly the tribe at the former airport some nights has meat and dancing if you dont mind gathering and hunting were all still pretty good at eating on the run things it would have been helpful to know before the revolution though ill admit some degree of resentment for the sudden lack of convenience around here but there are some visionaries among us developing some products to aid us in our struggle to survive that refuses to die [ cheers and applause ] seth Father John Misty, folks. The album pure comedy is out now. Well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] seth my thanks to emma roberts, Father John Misty, everybody.
