Hi. Hi. So you're not jet
lagged anymore. I don't think so. Yeah. What day is it? I don't know. [CHUCKLING] I know. She got back-- well, we'll
talk about that in a minute. You were on a plane
for like 70 hours. 50. Well, I think it was about
55 hours actually flying to be in Rwanda for
a day and a half. Yeah, because I had
to work, and someone had to be there for
the ground breaking. So that's what you get
for giving me that gift. That's it. [LAUGHTER] So that was my 60th birthday,
and then, in January, just last month,
I would turn 61. And what'd you get me? [LAUGHTER] Tell it. Tell everybody what you got me. Gardening tools. That's right. [LAUGHTER] But she likes to garden. I do. I do. All right, so when we went
before for my birthday, the trip was incredible. And hiking up a mountain
to see gorillas is just-- it's incredible. But you have to look for
them, because it's a jungle, and it's a mountain, and
you have to find them. And it was so-- it was just pouring down
raining, and it was muddy, and we're sinking down. It was just-- this
is us last year, and you're just
trying to find a path, and we're sinking into it
about down to our knees. It was-- It rains in Rwanda. Yeah, but-- It was so beautiful,
but it was so wet. It was miserable. That's us. Yep. [LAUGHTER] And let's show a picture
of you going just last week and what you had to go
through, you poor thing. Let's do it. Yep. Bright sunshine. [LAUGHTER] Flat land. No-- no-- any-- [LAUGHS] It was unbelievable. You were there-- It was incredible,
I have to say. And everybody that was
with me saying, you know, should we just kind
of not tell Ellen how great it was, play it down? I was like, hell, no. Let's play it up! Yeah. [LAUGHTER] Because first of all, you
have to experience that-- that day, that kind of weather. I mean, just the
topography was so beautiful and walking through bamboo. Everything was gorgeous, so
you just have to do it again. Yeah. I mean, come on. [AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING] And this is her seeing them. This is not footage we found
from the National Geographic. This is like-- you were
how close to that baby? I mean, a little
baby at one point started just
waddling over to me, and I just wanted to pick it up
and kiss it on its fuzzy head. I'm obsessed with baby gorillas. I just love them so much. But look at those gorillas. They look like they
had a blow-out. [LAUGHTER] They have-- I know. --like conditioner
on their hair. I saw different
gorillas that were just sitting there shivering,
soaking wet, not happy. Well, it was-- That's what you-- --sunshine, and
they were playful. And you were scared. The first time we saw
them, when we went, we were a little scared
because the adults are huge. Yeah, well, you don't
know what to expect, and people tell you certain
things, like, don't look them in the eyes, and-- Don't point. --don't point. The first thing I did
was, look at that! [LAUGHTER] But, and you know, they're quite
magnificent creatures and huge. This time, I was just
praying that one of them would come up very close to me
and push me down, because they don't want to push you down. They just want to eat
whatever is behind you. And one of the females
came so close to me. I just stood my ground. I thought, please push me. Please push me. [CHUCKLING] Yeah. I wanted gorilla hands
on me, because you're not supposed to touch
them, obviously, because of disease transference. But they basically will just
bump into you on their way past you. It's really a
life-changing experience. It's incredible. I hope-- and especially
once the campus is built, I hope everybody has a
chance to go to Rwanda and experience this. Tell everybody about
the ground breaking. So it was an
incredible experience. I mean, I just couldn't believe
the feeling of gratitude, which was really overwhelming for
me, not just from people that are going to
directly benefit, but just the entire
area, because there are 1,500 jobs that'll be created. Millions of dollars
will go into the economy because of your campus. And it was a really special,
pretty overwhelming moment. Yeah, it was
amazing because, you know, the reason she gave
me this gift is because I've always loved what Dian Fossey
did when I was growing up. I knew who she was. I knew what she did. And I love animals, and mountain
gorillas are just incredible, intelligent creatures. But then we went to
Rwanda, and we fell in love with the people of the
country, because the people are happy, and friendly, and
it's a beautiful country. Beautiful country. That is what Dian
Fossey has now, and then what we're building-- That's what we're building. --that's what we're
building, which will be-- So this'll be the--
yeah, the permanent home. [APPLAUSE] Yeah. Beautiful. All right. So I was very jealous because,
obviously, I'm working and I couldn't go,
so I had to send you, and I appreciate it very much. And you didn't miss a lot. I went to Jen Aniston's-- Jen's party. --birthday party, but
that was not anything. Jen's 50th. You had some folks over, too. Yeah, I had some
people at the house, but anyway, the point that-- And poor little Ellen. [LAUGHTER] I was-- Just partying, basically-- Yeah, well. --while I was over there. Yeah. It's fine, though. Exactly. Totally fine. Thank you. All right. [LAUGHTER] Hi, I'm Andy. Ellen asked me to remind you
to subscribe to her channel so you can see more
awesome videos, like videos of me getting scared
or saying embarrassing things, like ball peen hammer, and
also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities, if
you're into that sort of thing. [SCREAMS] [SHRIEKS] [BLEEP] [MUSIC PLAYING] God [BLEEP]!
