  Speaker 1: the only TV host who's not on ozembic. It is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: just me. And that's why all of these cable news
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: people are so angry all the time. They're starving.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I figured it out.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That's why they're mad. They're just they're all hungry.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm always in a good mood. I'm clearly eating.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: But I guess I got to get my life together.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They just told me a little while ago, so I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: got a couple of weeks to pull it together.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have you seen Oprah lately? She's like a toothpick.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Now, I saw that, like the Oprah. What I don't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: get is because she said she used one of those drugs.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But if you have Oprah money, you could literally pay
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: somebody to make it fun and karate.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Kick the food out of your hands.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I was Oprah'd hire one of those MMA guys.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: To come and tackle me when I went for the pizza.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: At least make it interesting, you know, you can get
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a shot like the rest of us boring.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, the White House correspondence doing it first time in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a long time. The President will be there. President Trump
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: will be there and he loves you.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. Yeah, that's good news. I'm hoping to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: interview him before the show, although we may see him
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: on the red carpet during it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: They're working out all of those logistics.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Now. You know the problem is if I go to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the White House, I have to pass a background check,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: which is you know, so Mark, The last thing they
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: need me to do it is getting purp walked out
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of the white That was with a camera crew because
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: some guy I cut off in my taxi twelve years
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: ago and never paid the fee or something crazy. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be there and it's gonna be a high
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: ocane night because he did not go at any point
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: during his first term. He skipped last year. But he's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: showing up. He's going to do a routine and I'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have three hours on the red carpet with a somebody
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: else who shows up, and it's pretty wild. I did
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: this two years ago, and you'd be surprised who winds
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: up on your show, even as a Fox show. Like
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: two years ago, I had Lesser Holt on, I had
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, outroke around. I even had Savannah Guffrie on
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: obviously in a better time for her. I had the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: cast of The Gaily Show on because everybody kind of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is forced to coexist for one night. It's kind of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like a wedding where the bride's parents got divorced, but
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: it works. You know, there's an open bar, so it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: all comes together in the end. So yeah, I'm hyped
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: up for this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It's Saturdy April twenty seven.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so it's like a month away.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. So I've got one month. They
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: basically like when.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Whenever you get a big assignment like this, said.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Fox, you know it's coming because the wardrobe team shows
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: up to empty out your fridge. That's how you know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It doesn't even start with clothing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You don't have to lose what Hey, You and President
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Trump love pretty much the same size.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Aren't you, I guess, but he's the president.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, I don't know it works.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, the truth is, I'm not you know. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: talk about about myself like I'm seven hundred pounds, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the truth is, I'm like a two hundred and forty
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: pound guy who's trapped in a seven hundred pound guy's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: body because I come from one of those.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Big Italian My family's half Italian, half.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Sicilian, excuse me, half Polish, and they just never stop
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: feeding you like ever.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: There it's like a hazing ritual.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It's not even dinner. And so that being my background,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: my default is to talk to you about food at
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: all times.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: How many times you've seen a big star who's fat.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They lose all their weight and they don't look as good,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and they're not as funny, and they're not as whatever.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It happens all the time. Even Oprah doesn't look so good.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: No, because what happens is you really do lose the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: energy in your face a lot. We all know somebody
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: who's lost too much weight. You know, Al Roker and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Al Sharpton have a similar issue. They don't look well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They're healthier, but they don't look healthier, you know what
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Because you kind of lose a little of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the soul in your face. That I mean, I'm not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. That's why I would never do it,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know, your job as a comedian,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: if you think back to Rodney Dangerfield, is to show
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: up and be goofy. Yeah, it's not that nobody wants
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to look at a comedian with abs. Okay, we're supposed
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to make you feel better about yourself. Well, you buy
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the two drinks and eat the potato skin. You know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jimmy Fayler, today is the sixth anniversary of the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: day we locked down the whole country and the pandemic
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: lockdown began.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Wow, well that's crazy, and you think about that?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: What did you go?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I yeah, so my this is funny story. My radio
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: show Fox Across America launched five five days earlier. We
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: launched on March ninth, twenty twenty. The premise of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: show was Fox across America. He's a comedian, he's in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: all these markets. We're going to send him on the road.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And five days in the show became Fox across Zoom
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and Uh. I spent the next six months doing radio
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on Zoom like I was in Ayatola in hiding. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: all I can say to people because everybody got you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: some people gained weight, some people you know, grew their
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: hair too long. You know, all I can say is,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know your drinking was bad if you got kicked
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: out of a Zoom cocktail party, which, sorry, we got
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to mute you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That was me. Hey, speaking of that Ayatola, he's now
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: threatening a marriage, just issued another statement where he's going
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to go after us. So should we be worried about
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: this new Ayatola?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just it's because you've never been threatened.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: By a piece of cardboard before, you know, Like, this
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: guyin't alive. Somebody wrote that statement for him. If he
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is alive, he's barely alive. And the idea that they're
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: talking tough and some of the liberal networks are trying
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to make the case that a RAN's doing well. I'm like, guys,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they just inaugurated their last leader at Staples.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, it was.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: A printout of a photo. That's not an inauguration, that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: not a country intact. So hopefully they stay the course because,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, as good as it was to maybe get
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: rid of the nukes and the ballistic missiles, the endgame is,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you do need a friendlier regime there. If
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it just winds up being his family or their family,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: then we're going to wind up back here in a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: few years. So I'm hoping they just clean the thing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: out completely.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get a statement from him, it's like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: getting one from Joe Biden, it's an auto pen job.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You don't know who wrote it. So hey, Jimmy Fayla,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: these Democrats, where did they get the nerve to complain
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: about gas prices? All they do is drive up gas prices?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean never it was five oh one under Biden.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I mean on Long Island where I grew up in Levittown.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean you know what it was in
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the city. My cab drivers that gas up at the BP,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: which might have become a shell over on Tenth Avenue.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You're paying like six twenty five on the West side
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of Manhattan under Biden, so we're three dollars below that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So it's again when Democrats tell you the gas prices
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: are too high, it's like Bill Cosby telling you the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: drinks are too strong. It's like, I don't know.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So, hey, Jimmy fails on wr every night nine to midnight.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It's a great show. It's really funny. Interesting. You should
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: listen to him nine to midnight every weeknight. Who do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you have on tonight?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Ooh, Kennedy's back, So we got to get the dumb
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: button ready.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: She'll be back to talk MTV.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And we're getting it funny. We have a special gas
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: coming from the White House. But this is one of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: those weeks where they don't tell me who. Sometimes they
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: do that. I think I mentioned these once before. We'll
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: get an like, hey, we have a guest for you
