\n John Oliver gleefully mocked Matthew McConaughey\u2019s recent virtual motivational seminar, titled The Art of Livin\u2019, <\/em>on Sunday\u2019s Last Week Tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n McConaughey hosted the free virtual event April 24 that drew a reported 2 million viewers from around the world and featured guests including Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Marie Forleo and Trent Shelton. It turned out to be the launch of a (not-free) \u201cimmersive learning experience\u201d dubbed\u00a0\u201cRoadtrip: The Highway to More\u201d<\/a> that costs $397 for viewers who tuned in and is now priced at the non-promotional offer of $497.<\/p>\n

\n According to the Austin American-Statesman<\/a><\/em>, the seminar featured, among other things, McConaughey sharing stories from his memoir, Greenlights<\/em>, and playing a bongo.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cA couple times, McConaughey took to the drum while he read out comments from viewers spilling their secret shames and desires,\u201d the American-Statesman<\/em> reported. \u201cHe paced back and forth toward the camera, often placing himself in extreme Norma Desmond closeup. His hands gesticulated wildly. He cut through his own chicken-fried fortune cookies with that signature smooth-talk snicker. His eyebrows must have logged enough sky-high miles to get their pilot\u2019s license.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Of course, Oliver couldn\u2019t let this slip past his radar. On Sunday\u2019s Last Week Tonight,<\/em> the HBO host showed a slip from the seminar, which he noted was five-and-a-half hours long.<\/p>\n

\n In the clip, McConaughey shares a personal story: \u201cIn 1999, I\u2019d just had a dream that I was floating down a river naked, wrapp<\/a>ed up in anaconda sharks, piranhas and crocodiles. And lined along the ridge of the river, there were thousands of African tribesmen each holding a shield and a spear. And it wasn\u2019t a nightmare. Actually, it was a wet dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Replied Oliver: \u201cWow! What a twist at the end there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Speaking and gesturing as McConaughey did in the video, Oliver continued: \u201cI know my dream might have contained some pretty dicey racial imagery there, but would it help to know that at the end of it, I ejaculated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The Last Week Tonight<\/em> host then summed up his confusion over the whole thing thusly: \u201cI\u2019m not sure what lesson you\u2019re supposed to learn from it other than if you try to do drugs with Matthew McConaughey, you will die.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
