great to see you you were here in February it hasn't been long uh for Dune to you were with the whole cast and since then how many countries have you been to since uh since since February oh man um like probably like seven wow and do you like traveling around the world quickly like that you know I I am grateful that I have a job that allows me to travel allows me to see the world I wish that I had more time in the place because really you know when you're doing press stores you really

just see the inside of your hotel you know you don't ever really get to go out and and see the sites and get to be around people so that's the only the downfall are you a good are you a good sleeper can you go sleep on the plane are you a good traveler in general so I used to be able to sleep anywhere like I used to be able to just like curl up in a ball and sleep on the flight the whole way like before it even takes off I'll be knocked out but these

days I don't know if it's cuz I'm getting older I you are pretty old yeah you're getting really you know my first time here I was 16 yeah that's right I know that's right you and we were on with the Stars and as I remind you each time I see you I bet quite a bit of money on you and won quite a bit of money on you I didn't win but I I I got pretty far can I tell you I think I won $112,000 what well you're welcome thank you again yes but but

yeah I don't know ever ever ever since I be you know I'm getting older and it's just not as comfortable to sleep that long anymore I see now I have no trouble and as I get older it makes no difference I could fall as I could literally lay down on this desk right now and fall asleep in front of you really yeah and no neck pain back pain nothing well there might be some of that but but sleeping right through it I will sleep right through it it would be nothing but a puddle of Drool

on the table you um by the way you're get I know you're getting like incredible reviews for this movie Challengers which is I have to say um you you uh yeah this I got to ask you a couple questions first of all I know you had a premiere on Tuesday right here in La yes and I know you have a very big family and they are often at your things were they at this thing yes they were they were okay so you've got some very sexy scenes in the movie you do um and while I

was watching it I was wondering if your family was going to see yes they have they did and do you warn them beforehand how does it work AB well they know it's a rated R movie mhm okay so I was like you know walking into this if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen uhhuh um but but I forewarned them but it was it was honestly my favorite part of night cuz I've seen the movie many times and I'm you know you're producer on the film right yeah that too yeah but so

I know when the scenes are coming right so I basically when those scenes were happening I just was watching my because they were behind me so I just watched them the whole time it was they're starting and they're like and then I them slowly get more uncomfortable and then they're like and then I my little nieces were back there I mean they're they're grown-ups but they're 18 but they literally were like it was my favorite part of the night who who was most uncomfortable in your family most uncomfortable would yeah I think it would be

my my my nieces your nieces yeah they were just like oh yeah oh yeah right looking cuz they're at that age that any of the even if they're watching strangers they might be uncomfortable and then they're watching their ant yeah you um uh Venus Williams was at your Premiere right yeah now that to for having Venus Williams watching you play tennis is probably scarier than Grandma watching you have sex right I mean there's no sex scenes in the movie Just want to say yeah right right I know you see me but um no um I

was terrified yeah I found out that she was coming and I well I found out literally while I was there they were like Venus is here and I was like what first of all I I'm fan Girling so I'm already excited just to the the fact the honor that she would take her time to come and see this was so special to me but then I got I thought oh I play tennis in this movie and I really hope that she is not distracted by my tennis abilities I I really hope that it's convincing enough

not to be I watch a good amount of tennis and I was very impressed by your tennis playing you're hitting the ball very very hard are you really hitting the ball that hard or is there a trick there um I don't know if I want to reveal my secret I see okay that's even better W may may not be there ah so you're hitting something and then yeah it's funny because a lot of times when they do c they'll use tennis balls right right for eyelines and now you there's the only thing that's not there

is the tennis ball uh we have a photograph uh how old are you in this picture oh yeah I'm like two and is this a real this a real tennis bow you work out one we we put that in post was that fun playing being a tennis player you know it was it was quite a challenge I mean I have such a respect for for the game and and you know I think all of I don't know naturally you look at something you're like yeah I I could do that you know like I could do

that and then you get up there and it's it's not that right right um when that I remember once being like you know what let me try to return a serve let me see if I can do this from a pro well yes um from one of our one of our amazing tennis doubles and that thing went by so fast it's scary I didn't even see like and at the time I've since got lasce sick but at the time I didn't have my glasses so I I really couldn't see it I was like Jo I

don't know where that ball just went um the imaginary ones are a lot easier to hit a lot easier cuz you can decide with your imagination well we're going to take a break and we're going to see a clip from the movie It's called Challengers Zena is with us we'll be right back but imagine if you could turn Patrick's VI into a guy who wins a slam still have a season you still have one good season and I need you to bring it out of me so what do you think how dare you you want

my best piece of advice for you want me to go you okay quit that is Anda and Josh Conor and Challengers which how many times did you have to slap Josh surprisingly not that many not that many not that many were you really slapping them or was that fake too you know I have a good I have like a good way of like pulling it so it doesn't I I'm making contact but not no sting you have uh as you know very enthusiastic fans in fact I met uh couple of them in the coming into

work this morning and they were like please say hi to zanda so hi yeah I just wanted to share that do you um you're aware of these mem I presume that um uh people will yeah like when you make a face like that people will put words on it and it seems like you get that more than most anyone I didn't I I realize now that I have a very expressive face yes I realize now from being you know I guess in interviews and doing things like a lot of people send me screenshots of like

my face for instance I don't know if it's from like my Disney days this this is one uh that goes around when you're eating and you catch someone staring at you which by the way seems to literally be what's happening here that doesn't even count as a meme that's a caption I was posing for that here uh this is uh when here that was here yeah I was here on this show okay when you're crushed say something that isn't funny but you still laugh no like why oh and this one is more about your wardrobe

than you but this I love this hat when you want to sneak a hammer or rotisserie chicken into the movie theater it's Chic it's practical yeah for real had a hat like this right he had a giant hat of this I love this hat nature do you keep the hat or is this I think law has the Hat somewhere oh nice uh again bring it out one I mentioned that people are very interested in everything involving you so I want to ask you some random questions okay have you ever um received a speeding ticket or

a moving violation I have not not oh good I've gotten close what happened um Tom and I were rushing to a spin class with my mother I was not going to do the spin class he was going to do the S class uhhuh cuz I don't do that um but uh we were going a little fast we were running late and um they recognized that he was Spider-Man and uh we were we're fine we got a warning and everything was okay well he's a crime fighter of course there's a community there all right well on

that subject spiders do you kill them or release them I release them yourself I cannot yeah I okay I don't have the heart to do it would you go to space if you had the opportunity I don't know if I would I feel like that the idea so like the idea of it because I like it interstella is one my favorite movies like it would be an amazing experience I'm sure but my anxiety being in like a little metal container in space I don't know if I don't know if I can do it this is

the most important question that I'm going to ask you in perhaps the most important question that you'll ever be asked in your life because I really feel like you could help us make some Headway with this okay are you for or against daylight saving time in other words moving the clocks would you do you like moving the clocks or do you like the clocks to remain exactly where they are I personally find a little confusing so you are against but I I don't know what what is this like a bit what are we this something

I'm very well I'll tell you what I oh yeah I hate it what is about you guys we okay well the audience has is anyone is anyone for daylight saving time kill her get round them up and throw them out PS two psychopaths in the audience so I can when I have um like for instance when the vice president comes and visits us here on the show I can tell her zenas against daylight saving time and you want to get on board if that's what the people want maybe we'll just rename it Zen daylight saving

time and it will stay perfectly still yeah well it's great to see you congratulations on the movie Challengers opens in Select theaters on Monday and Nationwide a week from tomorrow Zen everybody we'll be back with Freddy and Yuri [Applause]
