- 1:26Speaker 2: when they shoot the shot of the audience, President Trump
- 1:29Speaker 2: will be looking at you. He loves that show.
- 1:32Speaker 3: That is a true story. That's something that's something crazy
- 1:34Speaker 3: to think about. Is you know, it's nice to get
- 1:37Speaker 3: a Trump tweet saying you're good, but you also realize
- 1:40Speaker 3: you're one joke away from getting a Trump tweet saying
- 1:42Speaker 3: the opposite. Living on a razor's.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Edge here, Hey, super Bowl Sunday. What does what do
- 1:50Speaker 2: you do for the Super Bowl?
- 1:52Speaker 1: Oh?
- 1:53Speaker 3: So, uh? You know, for real, I grew up in
- 1:55Speaker 3: like a real Italian house where depending on who wins,
- 1:59Speaker 3: some of us might be going into hiding for like
- 2:01Speaker 3: three weeks.
- 2:02Speaker 1: There's a lot of money. A lot of money being
- 2:04Speaker 1: bed at the fail half. There's a lot of food.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I'm psyched up.
- 2:09Speaker 3: I don't have a lot to offer people by way
- 2:10Speaker 3: of analysis. This is what I can tell you. Okay,
- 2:13Speaker 3: I've been to Seattle. Based on the looks of things,
- 2:16Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure the space needle is filled with heroin.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a mess New England for people who don't know.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It's very cold and it's very white. It's like a
- 2:27Speaker 3: protest in Minneapolis.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah, so Sunday night would be the big game. You'll
- 2:32Speaker 2: be on Saturday night, and of course you're here on
- 2:34Speaker 2: War every weeknight at nine o'clock The Grammys. What do
- 2:41Speaker 2: you think that Billie Eilish.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Oh, it was so funny, like the whole stolen Land thing.
- 2:49Speaker 3: And I'm so glad she got mocked for it, because
- 2:52Speaker 3: maybe this sends a message to the next round of
- 2:55Speaker 3: celebrities that they don't actually have to do this garbage.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Like between the pins. Yeah, there's so many different social
- 3:01Speaker 3: justice pins. They look like waitresses at Friday, you know
- 3:05Speaker 3: what I mean. It's like you might as well wear
- 3:07Speaker 3: suspenders on the red carpet with all the flare these
- 3:10Speaker 3: ladies are sporting from Ukraine and Palestine and now the
- 3:14Speaker 3: freaking abolish ice thing.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 3:16Speaker 3: So I thought it was funny, but again it's like
- 3:21Speaker 3: back to that point of Billie Eilish. We all know
- 3:23Speaker 3: they're not giving back the land, so why would you
- 3:26Speaker 3: say it Mark, Because in theory, when you say like
- 3:28Speaker 3: this this, we're here on stolen land. If you're not
- 3:31Speaker 3: giving it back, you're.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Just literally saying haha, we took it from you.
- 3:36Speaker 3: It was like you're totting them. You know, it's not
- 3:39Speaker 3: you're not being an ally.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It's like you're spiking the football.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Hey, I just want to point out that we didn't
- 3:43Speaker 3: pay anything for this.
- 3:45Speaker 1: It's good.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, but again it's Billie Eilish. You know, who needs
- 3:49Speaker 2: her speaking about the political mass It's like asking her
- 3:51Speaker 2: about the FED rate change. I mean, who her opinion
- 3:56Speaker 2: on anything except nobody.
- 3:59Speaker 3: But that's what I mean. It's like the Grammys were
- 4:01Speaker 3: the first.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Music show that was better with the sound off.
- 4:03Speaker 3: It was bizarre.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Also, as one of the great comedians in the world,
- 4:09Speaker 2: What the hell do they have Trevor Noah hosting that for?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Is he really a comedian?
- 4:14Speaker 3: I know?
- 4:15Speaker 1: And he's like such a stiff.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Like Trevor Noah is where like the Disney Hall of
- 4:20Speaker 3: Presidents would go to feel charismatic, you know, those like
- 4:24Speaker 3: Wooden presidents barely haven move. It's like they look at
- 4:28Speaker 3: Trevor Noah and they you know, they look like Olympians.
- 4:30Speaker 3: He's just such a stiff and every joke he delivers
- 4:34Speaker 3: he has like this kind of throwaway energy.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And it's just so hard to care because he doesn't care,
- 4:41Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it's like when it
- 4:44Speaker 1: comes to the.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Grammys, right, it's actually, in theory, the greatest comedy gig
- 4:49Speaker 3: in the world because you have all of this musical
- 4:52Speaker 3: talent and everyone's heard of them, so there's jokes to
- 4:54Speaker 3: be told, the people know the.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Songs, the vibe is good, and then they bring this
- 4:59Speaker 1: guy out there. It's like, you know what it reminds
- 5:01Speaker 1: me of.
- 5:01Speaker 3: I hate to say it, but it reminds me of
- 5:03Speaker 3: like a Biden speech. You remember how a Biden speech,
- 5:05Speaker 3: like the band would play and people would stand.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Up and sheer, and then this guy would.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Go the wrong way and they have to drag.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Him back to the podium.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just like understaffed in this one area.
- 5:17Speaker 2: But a great comedian comes out like you in a
- 5:19Speaker 2: big bubbly smile, like a real fun Adam. He comes
- 5:22Speaker 2: out with that elitist smirk, kind of look on his face,
- 5:26Speaker 2: like I'm smarter than you. It really doesn't work for people.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It's like that John Stewart, I'm smarter than you kind
- 5:32Speaker 2: of attitude.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody wants that because the truth is, like Mark,
- 5:38Speaker 3: when you get into comedy, right, you know, we're clowns.
- 5:40Speaker 1: We say this all the time.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Like Rodney Gaingerfield, as successful as he was, his catchphrase
- 5:44Speaker 3: was I don't get no respect. He never showed up
- 5:47Speaker 3: and said, I know what we need to do with
- 5:49Speaker 3: the border.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Say that you know what I mean?
- 5:53Speaker 3: The bananas to me, And.
- 5:55Speaker 1: That's the part I think it's so stupid. It's like comics.
- 5:57Speaker 3: We've entered a profession where we actually get paid and chicken.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Fingers the first five years.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Like, we're not economists, Mark, there's got to be a
- 6:06Speaker 3: better wage out there.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Than dipping sauce.
- 6:09Speaker 3: We haven't figured it out as a profession yet, and
- 6:12Speaker 3: yet they're lecturing on the economy.
- 6:13Speaker 1: It's bananas.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Speaking of comedy. You're on tour, right, you tour all
- 6:17Speaker 2: over the country, right, every weekend.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, ma'am. I just got back from Wichita, Kansas,
- 6:24Speaker 3: and that was not an easy gig to get to.
- 6:26Speaker 3: My GPS actually told me to fire my agent.
- 6:29Speaker 1: It was really tricky.
- 6:32Speaker 2: So but make sure you listen tonight nine to midnight,
- 6:36Speaker 2: great show every weeknight on w r watch them every
- 6:40Speaker 2: Saturday night on the Fox News channel at ten o'clock.
- 6:44Speaker 2: And now, how would you rate mayor? Mom Donnie? I
- 6:46Speaker 2: will say, today all the garbage was picked up on
- 6:49Speaker 2: our street here.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Finally, I mean, did you see last week? Mom Donnie
- 6:54Speaker 3: left so much trash on the streets. The rats are
- 6:56Speaker 3: on ozempic like it's not good. So then I supposed
- 7:00Speaker 3: toe rat on a treadmill. But under the Mom Dottie administration,
- 7:04Speaker 3: anything's possible. So I don't know. I hope he gets
- 7:07Speaker 3: his act together. I mean I do root for the city.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I just don't have high hopes.
- 7:11Speaker 2: So what about Minnesota. They're pulling out seven hundred dice
- 7:14Speaker 2: agents that President Trump says, maybe we need a softer touch.
- 7:17Speaker 2: It looks like it's getting dialed down a little in
- 7:19Speaker 2: a nice way.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Right, yeah, Because the thing about it is Tom Holman
- 7:24Speaker 3: really is the adult in the room.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You know, he served under six presidents.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Obviously we all talk about how he was awarded under
- 7:31Speaker 3: Obama for the deportations. But like when he talks, he
- 7:35Speaker 3: doesn't talk to the politics of the moment. He talks
- 7:37Speaker 3: to the Hey, we're here to get bad guys. You're
- 7:39Speaker 3: allowed to protest, but help us out so we can
- 7:42Speaker 3: make the community safer. He's basically saying what their leaders
- 7:45Speaker 3: should have been saying. But as you know, they wanted
- 7:48Speaker 3: this chaos man, because what the Democrats like to do
- 7:51Speaker 3: is set the world on fire and then go look
- 7:54Speaker 3: how crazy the country is under Trump.
- 7:56Speaker 2: You know.
- 7:57Speaker 3: But the point is they're setting the fire in hopes
- 7:59Speaker 3: that you'll owe for them to calm things down. So
- 8:01Speaker 3: who are they really but arsonists trying to get paid for.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Putting out their own fire. It's nuts.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Hey, yesday, I know yesterday last night, no mention to
- 8:12Speaker 2: Don Lemon. You think he's getting upset that he's not
- 8:15Speaker 2: getting the the coverage he needs to get his career back.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not good. That means I'm going to see
- 8:21Speaker 1: him at church this weekend.
- 8:23Speaker 3: If you're picking up.
- 8:28Speaker 1: He wants that attention, he'll be bad.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Well, you can listen to Jimmy Fail every night at
- 8:33Speaker 2: nine o'clock on w o R. What he got on
- 8:35Speaker 2: tonight's show?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Oh, tonight's a crazy one. So we just had with
- 8:41Speaker 3: all of this crazy Minneapolis stuff. We just had Homan
- 8:44Speaker 3: on last week. But I'm told we're getting a return
- 8:46Speaker 3: appearance later tonight, So I'll get the inside on what's
- 8:50Speaker 3: happening from Tom Holman himself with any luck at nine pm.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Now we've all had whatever. We have Tom Homan on.
- 8:57Speaker 2: There's always a contest. See if anybody can make him laugh.
- 9:00Speaker 2: It's impossible. I think you're the only guy that ever
- 9:02Speaker 2: did it because it's otherwise impossible to get the guy
- 9:04Speaker 2: to laugh.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I can break him up a little bit,
- 9:07Speaker 3: but he's also threatened to beat me up a few
- 9:09Speaker 3: times with the in and the yang.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Yeah. So uh, and where're gonna Where are you gonna
- 9:14Speaker 2: appearing next? You're always on tour all over the place.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Oh man, So the next thing I gotta do, okay,
- 9:19Speaker 3: is I'm going to the Capitol Theater in Rome, New
- 9:23Speaker 3: York again.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Talk about my agent. He's like, yeah, booked you in Rome.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, but I get my passport.
- 9:28Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, New York. They'll be Rome, New York.
- 9:31Speaker 3: And I'm uh north of Utica in that region, like
- 9:36Speaker 3: the Mohawk Valley region. A lot of good Italian food
- 9:39Speaker 3: up there for real. But I'll be there.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And then I got to go to Saint.

- 10:10Speaker 2: about the left of joke about that right. It's very balanced.
- 10:12Speaker 2: It's exactly what Carson would have done.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And well, thanks, And if you keep comparing me to Carson,
- 10:18Speaker 1: I guess that means I can have three more wives.
