• 0:03
  Speaker 1: seven t W nine to twelve, and you wake up
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: with me and Larry in the morning. But got a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: question for you, Jimmy, and we're taking you back to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: your roots. Strong Island. We've noticed that Rosie o'donald is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: back from the land of era era Ireland, the.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Girl from Comac.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: She's on TV, she's on podcast, she has a one
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: woman show off Broadway.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: She's everywhere.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: You think that after she's gotten this rushed on her
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: over the years, that she could get back to doing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: stand up and handling comedy clubs like you do all
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: over the country.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Well, the good news is the bar wasn't that high.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's not like she was good at it. And we're
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: waiting for Pavarotti to hit the high notes again. You know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I think Rosie o'donald's claim to fame in this decade
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: will be because of her time in Ireland. They now
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: have a second potato famine. You know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: That's where we're at on this deal.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody cares about the Broadway performance.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds like one of those shows they
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: charged you to.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Get out of oh have you have you ever had
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: any run ins or have you met ROSSI o'donald over
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: the years.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: H One night I was doing an Evana Carolines like
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: when I was like first starting out, and she was
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: doing time there. I believe Larry Amrose was hosting the show.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: He was like one of the best local New York
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: mcs who ever lived. He had like a dangerfield young
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: comedian special. But she I we didn't talk like she didn't.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I was in a green room with her, but she wasn't.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: She wasn't interested in me because I wasn't glazed in
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: sugar or powdered. Perhaps if I had jumped on a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: plate and curled up in a cute way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I got to interview her one time when I was
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: out there do the Super Bowl, and I went to
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: a comedy club to find a New York comedians that,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: you know, making fun of La. That's what I was
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: gonna do because I was working at w ABC at
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the time. I witnessed news and afterwards she says to me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: She says to me, hey, do you have a place
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: to stay? And I said, yeah, I'm at a hotel.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: She goes, oh, okay, because you know, I have a
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: place on the beach. You could have stayed at my place.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: And I called some comic friends and I said, I
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: think Rosie o'donnald just hit on me, and they went, Nope, No,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: she didn't know, no way.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I remember that time, Jimmy. She had this huge mansion
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in Rockland County and for therapy she said she would
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go into the closet and hang upside down like a bat.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That therapy is, but I would assume it has some
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: comedic roots. A number of your colleagues have done some
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: very strange things post comedy. You give us any insight
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: into that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It's funny because I'm talking to you in my hyperbaric chamber.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You know this thing gets so loud, you know the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: oxygen between between questions. No, that doesn't. That checks out
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: with her. My question about her hand hanging like a
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: bat in the closet is who installed the rod that
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: she was hanging on? Because I gotta be honest, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: guess I got these Ikea rods that don't hold two
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: jackets before they.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Break it half?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: What was holding Rosie O'Donnell upside down?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, I want to talk to you about Anthony Fauci
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: because I got so angry when I was watching him.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: What you know, I agree with Aaron Rodgers, probably the
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: first time I've agreed with him, but he was called
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: him a coward and said he owed an explanation. What
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: were your reactions? Were they just as visceral when you
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: watched him?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would say in the other day,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: like if he wasn't at least gonna testify and own
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: up to some of his actions, because he clearly was
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: lying to the public while contradicting it in his diary.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: At the very least, though, should he have not had
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the decency he shut down the whole country. It's all
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: because of him. He should at least have the decency
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to apologize to everybody who wound up on that zoom
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: call with Jeffrey Tuban.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, if there's no Fauci, If there's no Fauci,
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: those twenty one seat and employees never see Tuban shake
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: hands with the governor at seven in the morning.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: By the way, imagine you think your day's off to
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a bed, start tilting your laptop and you got Jeffrey
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Tuban spanking the monkey because saucis shut down the country.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So let's take you on the time machine. You're driving
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in cab, you're doing stand up. What was it like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: when Fauci imposed all those restrictions.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I will say this, I crushed every industry related
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to transportation. There was no obviously, no form of mass transit.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: So everybody I knew who worked in airlines, everybody I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: knew who worked in transit really did get punched in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the knuts. And the upside was, guess got really cheap.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: But there was nowhere to go. Nobody was going anywhere.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: There was nobody on the roads. And that's the thing
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: like they kind of fancied this is, you know, we
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: were looking out for the little guy. But the little
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: guy obviously was the guy hit the hardest. You know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: big box retailer's business as usual because they just took
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: their business online when the world shut down, But the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: mom and pops they got screwed. So my experience was
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a lot like everybody else's.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't doing anything.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: The only thing I would tell people is, you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you know, you're drinking was out of control. If you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: got thrown out of a Zoom cocktail party, you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: that's when I knew it was time to reel it in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm not even at their house right now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and I'm getting kicked out out of that head.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I think this political climate right now is fascinating. I'm
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: so infatuated with it because here the Democrats were so
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: excited that they had zorin Mom Dannie and this rise
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: of socialism in the country. They were all in, they
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: were phoning from Mom Donnie. All of a sudden it
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: has become a political negative. They're finding out that independence
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and Republicans don't like socialism at all, only a faction
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party. And now you have all these
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Democrats running Jimmy, it's just been fun to watch.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I've loved it just the same because it is nationally
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: nobody wants this, but in these local, crazy town districts
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: they love it. Did you see, by the way, she's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: a little late to the party, But did you see
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Kamala tried to latch onto this stuff. You know, she
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: is such bad political insert and.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Everyone else was runing because everyone else was runing, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: she ran into the fire.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: She ran right into the fire. And it's so funny
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: because she's bashing capitalism in the same week she just
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: bought an eight million dollar Malibu mansion. Think about that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It's a capitalism's bad eat the rich. We've got to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: get money out of politics. If anyone needs me, I'll.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Be point Doom in Malibu. Now, Jimmy, they are go ahead, No,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: go ahead, Jimmy.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say no, Kamala. They're excited to move
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: into that house. Doug is already measuring the nannies.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So here we go.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'll let you get your punchline off there. Jimmy, I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: sorry I stepping on you. Forgive me. Maya copa, Maya copa,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: maya Maxi macopa. Now I have a mission for you.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: We thought that this would be a short war. Listening
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to Trump and everyone else associated, it's just a matter
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of weeks, maybe days.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's not turned into that. You know what we're missing here.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And we had it for so many years, whether it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: was wars that people were supportive of or opposed. We
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: had America's comedian Bob Hope taking out a USO tour
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of some of the drop dead gorgeous gals who would
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: entertain the troops. We don't have that. The last time
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: he was available before he passed away was the Persian
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Gulf Bush forty one Operation Desert Shield. He went to Bahrain,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, but it was a last Jimmy, American needs
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: an American a comedian. You established those credentials. You've played
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in places I can't even find on a map on
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the Fox News channel. You are America's comedian.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Why not.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: There's fifty thousand men and women stuck over there. That's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: just in their normal military basis. You have men and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: women on the aircraft carriers and the battleships and the cruisers. Jimmy,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you could bring some of those drop dead gorgeous women
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you met over the years and a few men on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the side from Chippindale's to satisfy everyone's Purian tastes, and you.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Could be the new Bob Hope.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that Murdoch would subsidize a USO tour led
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: by you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Listen. I like where your head is at. But unfortunately
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize you were going for hot chicks because
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I was on the phone with Rosie O'Donnell trying to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: work it out. It's comedians, American comedians.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I started dialing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: And then got to the end and you were like
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: hot Bob Hope, Rosie O'donald's more like slob Hope. But
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I think she'd go. She likes leaving America.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Think about it, Jimmy, you could do it. Come on.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: America's calling for you. Jimmy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Now I know why you're such a good morning radio
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: show host because.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You're a terrible agent.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Like Jimmy. You got a TV show, you got a
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: radio show. Things are coming together.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: How about a gig in Bay Route Jimmy, for a second,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: for free?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: What you need to do truly sold out shows. Get
