True Confessions with Matthew McConaughey

-Is that how it works. In front of us are two envelopes containing

confessions

. A confession is

true

. The other is a lie. Once you read your confession, the other two players will have 60 seconds to question you and then they will have to guess if you have been lying or telling the truth. Mateo will go first. Tariq, what envelope should Matthew open? -I'm going to say--The background, please. -Number two. -Yeah. Number two. -Number two says... -Here we go. -Ooh-today! I, McConaughey, was hit by a mountain sheep on the rim of the Grand Canyon and had to throw my 6-month-old son 15 feet in the air toward my wife to save him." "Well, I don't know.

Now the start begins." interrogation. -Hurry up. -What year was it?! -It was my 40th birthday. -Yeah, well, that's interesting. 16 months. Do the math. I don't know how old your son is. But, uh, wait. . In the Grand Canyon. Was the Airstream there? - Yes, it was. 2004. The one in the photo you just saw. - So you threw the baby at your wife? - Yes. I threw it -- - Who was it? ... -Who had scattered over the edge when the battering ram had me here with a drop of about 20 feet -A battering ram -And I had to... After I already got rid of the dog, I had to throw Levi in the air so my wife can catch it and we don't fall over the edge. -So you saved the dog first? -Well, the dog...

It was like those masks on the plane. -Okay. It's okay. -So The dog was the one who was pissing off the ram, the dog is the one who starts growling first. So I said, "B.J., unh-unh." I had to get rid of the dog. -Was this like a baby ram, or like a complete...? -No, this was the "alpha". -Hmm. Hmm. -Yeah. I'll tell you how, in a minute, I knew. - -It is not a "Liberation" story. -I think he just... I think you gave him away. There's no... It has to be

true

. -That?! I say it's a lie. -Hee hee hee!

That's a good one, right? -It is? -Did you know? That is 100% true. -That?! -I knew it. I knew it. Actually? Did you throw the baby away? -And this is what happened. I mean, we were... we were having a picnic there, and then when I realized... and I backed up to the edge after getting rid of the dog and my son. And I grab this little branch behind me, tree, and I get behind it. And it's like a cherry tree as thick as my pinky. I say, "This isn't going to save me at all." And I squared up and tried to be as Yoda as I could with this battering ram and just say, "Not me, whatever it is." He was kicking dirt and everything.

He jumps off the ledge and turns around. We look the other way. His harem is on the other side. So we were between him and all his ladies, and he didn't want any other male scent on his mountain. -Wow. -And I said: "His mountain, sir." -See? I knew it. I knew it was true, because... -I should have believed it. -Yeah. Well, I just... We have similar lives. -Straight out of Brooklyn! -Here we go. My turn. What envelope should I open? Number one or number two? -Oh, yes, that one. Two. -Sure? -That is. -This could be true or it could be... -A lie. -...a lie. "I was once attacked by a ram in..." No, seriously.

Here we go. -It was related to the ram. -Related to the other ram. Yes, we were on vacation together. She was dressed like a baby. Yes, it was a Dodge Ram that had me cornered in my Airstream. I was like, “Help!” Alright. Here we go. "I, Jimmy Fallon, once docked on a ferry full of tourists returning from the Statue of Liberty." - Yeah? What year was this? -Yes, when was this? -I would say 2000 maybe? -Did you have a driver's license at that time? -I don't drive a boat or anything. No. I had my driver's license, of course. -Oh. -And what were you doing coming from the Statue of Liberty? -I love the Statue of Liberty.

I go there all the time. -Just a Saturday, wandering, something to do? -I don't think... I think it was a working day. -Were you paid for this job? -No. No. I just like the Statue of Liberty. -As a boatman, or you said, "Hey, I'm Jimmy Fallon. Hey, Captain, let me dock the ferry." -No. I would not do that. It would not endanger people's lives. -Who went with you to the Statue of Liberty? -I went alone. I went on my own. -That?! -Oh, it wasn't... Wasn't there a group of tourists who came to see the Statue of Liberty? -There were a lot of people on... -So because you took the ferry alone, a lot of people who had never really seen the Statue of Liberty had to sit on the ground and wait for you, as a celebrity, to arrive. return. -No, I didn't get on the boat alone, on the ferry.

I went with other people, but I didn't invite anyone. It wasn't like it was alone. -There were many seats still open that people were waiting for. -No, no, that's not true. -Well. So we can't ask you any more questions. -This is very easy. -I do not know, man. I'm going to say it's a lie. -Are you going to say it's a lie? -Both: It's a lie. -It's true. -That?! I drove and docked the ferry. It was the strangest thing... It was the strangest thing ever. That's what happened to me. It was strange. I was coming back.

I went because I really... like the Statue of Liberty. It's really amazing. So I went. I was just hanging out. I'm like, "This is amazing." Then I get on this ferry back. And this captain says: People started getting autographs and stuff like that, because it was actually before cell phones. And that's why they wanted autographs and stuff. And the captain said, "Just come here to the cabin and... you know, so they don't harass you." And I say, "Okay." Then he says, "Have you ever docked a ferry?" I say, "What are you talking about?" There are probably like 200 people in this.

I don't know how many people fit on a ferry. I didn't even know what I was in for. Once again, the guy was a great guy. He's probably already fired. -No, yes, he's not a great guy. -He's not a great guy. He says, "Dude, turn the thing over and pull the throttle back and forth." And I was like, "What's going on?" And I docked the ferry completely. It was absolutely crazy and totally true. And I was like, "What just happened?" That's what happens when you hang out at the Statue of Liberty. -Only. -Yes, here we go.

Only. Alright. Tariq, here we go. -Alright. Which? Which one do I open? -I think number--. Number one. -One. -Well. -I can break you. I can tell if you are telling the truth. I go out with him all the time. Oh, I had it backwards, yes. -"I once drove with Kanye West in the trunk of my car." -Kanye was in the trunk? Yes. -And you were driving? -Yeah. -Just you two? -No. -Who else was in the car? -Eh, common. -You and Common. And Common's riding shotgun. -Kanye West was in the trunk of your car? -Yeah. -And why did he end up in the trunk of your car? -He was avoiding people who were trying to take pictures of him. -Oh, he should have gone up and driven... docked the ferry. -I know.

Good? -But why didn't he get out... Why didn't you put a blanket over him in the back seat or something? -Um, yeah, I don't know. I guess... I don't know. -Whose idea was it to go in the trunk? -It was his. -Was it his? "Let me have some privacy in the trunk." -I mean, he just wanted me to get him out of there. We were in a sneaker store in Los Angeles. It's called... I don't know. I'm not going to mention it. But that. -It's a pretty popular sneaker store, you know. You get the exclusive -- -Beep, beep! -No.

Get out of here. There was an event there. The store was a block and a half from a residence where Common lived. There he lived with legendary producer J Dilla. -Don't try to distract yourself. -I'm serious! -The details are good here. But from the sneaker store to the trunk. I'm sorry. Shall we go through the shopping center? -No, we left through the back door. -And he got into the trunk. -And he got into the trunk. I drove. -And he got into the trunk. -Until now it has been true, true. -Life with... The parallel story of life in common with the producer is a nice detail. -I don't think Kanye would do it... jump in a trunk.

It is not yours. I'd say Kanye would be like, "Bring it, bring it." -I hope it's true. -Maybe today he would do it, but this was not today. This was a while ago. - I mean, look, just the narration. I have to say the details. Toss the scent aside like Bob Dylan would. I'm going to say it's good enough to say it's true. And if it isn't, it should be. -Kanye West was in the trunk of your car and you took him. You drove him up and he was in the trunk of your car. -Yes, a 2004 Porsche Cayenne. -Oh, the details! -I don't even know what that means.

A small trunk? -Común lived a block away. -Is that a small trunk? -With the producer. -Yeah. J Dilla. -J Dilla, who Common lived with and was at a sneaker event. Kanye likes sneakers. Don't have Yeezys? -Yes Yes Yes. This probably predates Yeezy. -Yes, it's before Yeezy. He probably thought of the idea when he was locked in the trunk. He says, "I have an idea! Get me out!" -Good. -Oh man. I like to be right in these games. Uh no. There's no way Kanye West would ever be in the back of your trunk. -I say yes. -Is a lie! ♪♪ Oh! -That was a good one! -My favorite, my favorite.

And Common lived a block away with producer J Dilla. -J Dilla. That was the one. My thanks to Matthew McConaughey and Tariq Trotter!
