• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this is the guy that supports legalized prostitutions.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Why are you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Wasting your time on a dating show?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Well? Is that a bad thing legalized prostitution.

  Speaker 1: Well, well not if he wants to get Bill Clinton's endorsement.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But hey, how are you coping with the government shutdown?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: How is it affecting your life?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not me I worry about it's you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of drag shows in Latvias that aren't
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: being funded right now. I mean, think of the poor
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: kids in Iraq that wanted to get out of bed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this morning and watch a transgender sesame street but our
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: government had to shut down, So now they're not paying
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for it, you know, Yeah, to think about the other people, Mark,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But the whole thing is ridiculous.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when they say non essential, don't you say, wait
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a minute, you have non essential workers. Why why are
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we paying for it?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's such a good such a good point. It's like,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, every once in a while you go
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: over the credit card statement and go like, oh, we
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: pay twelve ninety nine for this, why are we doing that?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But in the government, it's like, we pay twelve billions
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for this? Why are we doing that? Hey, somebody else
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: has to look at their master card statement. Yeah, go ahead,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh no.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I say, as a great comedian, Could you give Hakeem
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Jeffries some advice on how to take a joke. This
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: guy's the biggest stiff I've ever seen.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know. And it's funny because he's obviously like
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a karaoke Obama. You know, it's a good Obama comper band.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That's totally what he is. And you know, to Obama's credit,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like the media never gave him a hard time, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he at least had a bit of a personality. Hakeem Jeffries,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it's weird. He almost reminds me more of Hillary in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that the octaves in his voice never change, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like if Hillary was the lead singer A Kiss, you'd
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be like, I want to rock and roll all night
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and the party every day. And you're like, wow, you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: don't sound that enthusiastic about it, Hill, And that's kind
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of Jeffers. There's no passion, so he wants to be Obama.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But to Obama's credit, he could at least get out
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: there and sell you the bs that he was pedaling. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: nobody buys a king. Like if I was a king, Jeffreys,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I would want Trump to be accenting all of my
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: videos with mariachi's and hats and mustaches because it gives
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: them some life, you know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And what about Schumer, he's like from nineteen eighty two.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's just so a relic updated sort of guy.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem with Schumer is and they Democrats always
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: give us that speech about how we're the Party of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the youth, and they're like, we're the Party of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: youth this you know, this country needs new blood. From
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: looking at Schumer, I assume they actually mean new blood
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like transfusions. I'm like, you know, he looks like a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: villain on the Simpsons, and I don't ever know what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to make of him because there's the problem with being
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in Washington, like he's seriously, Schumer has been in Washington
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: since Washington, you know what I'm saying. And it's like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: there's not going to be a position you don't contradict
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: yourself on. So we've all heard the clips of him
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the nineties, in the early off its being like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a legal immigration it's all a scam for Medicare benefits.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There's all these illegals. That's where we can't let him in.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And now we could obviously on the complete opposite side
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of himself it's that every Democrat could just debate themselves.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You could get like a hologram of like here's you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a year ago, and you can just have that debate.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And who told Schumer these classes look good on you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: those big clunky glasses.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm not going to have you insult Schumer's stylist
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or his seeing idols. That's not nice.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's what he looks like. Yeah, he looks like he
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: needs a dog with those glasses. So uh good. Hey,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you're thrilled that un week is over. That
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: was pretty bad, wasn't it. That un General.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Man wasn't the best part though, that mcrone had to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: get out and walk across town because they had the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: one street block off. And I was saying on my show,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a real slap in the face to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a world leader when you got to get out and walk.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But luckily mccron's used to getting slapped in the face
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: by his wife. Do you remember that plane video? She
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: beat him up on the plane and he had to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: get off like it was cool. I dude, we all
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: saw it, man.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember the day had that video Trump and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Milania in the fight on the helicopter they were trying
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to go after. But then the lip reader said it
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: was Trump yelling at her, so he wasn't getting slapped
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: around apparently.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, they're not going to beat him up. No,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: McCrone looks like he's into it, let's be honest. He
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: looks like one of those people I would drive around
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in my taxi. Because that's the thing about New York
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: tells you is the traffic's the worst on earth. But
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it's also the most lucrative week of the year if
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you're a cab driver, because there's a lot of people
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that have to get around street closures and get to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: embassies and York they kind of will hire you for
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that knowledge. And you know a lot of these people
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about get paid in singles and wear very
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: high stiletto heels. Up what I'm putting down. Yes, And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that's the part of you. One week I miss as
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a driver is you know, you're driving some some guy
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in a dress named Cinnabuns over to some embassy because
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: there's a weirdo diplomat waiting.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That was the part I enjoyed. Well, you haven't driven
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: in a while. I don't think it's singles anymore, is it?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: No, No, they're at You're right, you're right about that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's all kind of so Hunter Biden changed the game.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Now it's wire transfers coming in from multiple entities, whole
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: new world.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, uh, you were a cab driver. He's not kidding,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he was a cab driver. Tell us the truth. Does
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the driver want to be stuck in traffic and run
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: up the meter or does he want to get the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: right over fast so you can get a new fare turnover?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You want to ride, you want a faster ride. I'll
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: tell you the reason why. Every fair that gets in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you're getting the search charge. And maybe it's at night
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're getting that differential. So if you ran the meter
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for an hour right now, it might generate eighty two bucks,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: but if you turned over four fares, you're going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: be around forty before you even take the rider get tipped.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So unequivocally, you'd rather have four mid length fairs, five
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: mid length fairs in an hour, turnover as your friend,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and every fourth or fifth person uses you as an
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: affordable therapist if you're outgoing, and tips you extra money.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So that happens, And that was definitely my strategy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: The reason guys want the long fair like the airport
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fair is at JFK and the taxi lot there is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a massive gambling ring like for real, for real, what
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: where they play this piegal poker game and they like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to play this Middle Eastern domino game I'm not making
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it up. And a lot of guys because when you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: go to JFK, you wait like an hour and a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: half for your next fair, and a lot of guys gamble.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: It's like a card game basically, it's you know, it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: almost like a recreational card game, but there's a lot
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of money at stake. And anytime you're driving to Central
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: taxi at JFK, if you see that massive lot of cabs,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the reason nobody's in them is half of the guys
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are exercising the other half are gambling. Okay, that's like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a thing, and it's a funny, you know, it's a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: recreational thing, but it's pretty funny. It's like the new OTB.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Instead of off track gambling, we have off road gambling.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: That's actually fascinating. But why would why would as a driver,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: why would you ever want to sit and do nothing
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: for an hour and a half when you could be
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: doing twelve fars.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, because the thing is that JFK fair that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you take that you take back is usually pretty lucrative,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and it's for some guys drive. They exclusively do hotels
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and airports. What I mean is they have a guy
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: at a hotel, they have a guy to hotel that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they give twenty bucks to at the beginning of the shift.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Who's going to give them the first airport fair? Then
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they're gonna wait and come back to that same hotel
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: when they drop off. And the reason they do that
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is it actually minimizes the amount of driving in a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: shift and the money is comparable, meaning they might not
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: always make as much some day as they'll make more
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: depending on who they're dropping off at the hotel. But
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the big thing is it's just highway back and forth
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: as opposed to the you know, vehiculear combat that I'm
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: engaging in across town for twelve hours a day.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: This is actually fascinating stuff. There's a book in here
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: or a Netflix documentary or something in this somewhere.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: This one, well, it won't be Netflix because I'm not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: trans But if I decide to make a move, well, but.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Great, Hey, Jimmy Faylor, what's on tonight's show at nine
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: o'clock here, it's all coming up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: We got Steve Hilton, he's gonna be the next governor
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of California. And my wife, Jenny Fayala making a rare
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in studio appearance. She's trying to have an intervention with
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: me based on some things that have happened on the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: TV show in the last week and a half. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what that means.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: She just said she's showing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Up as standards and practices, So I don't know what
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that means. I might be single this time tomorrow.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Lee's I think she's great. You've got like your own
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: joy Philbin there, it's great.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's his, She's got she's got real chops and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: she does thankfully. She does have a sense of humor.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And everybody's always like, oh, how did you get her?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, what do you mean? Women don't want
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to marry an overweight cab driver who has no health
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: insurance and does a book.
• 10:01
