• 0:37
  Speaker 2: What's it like in Reno?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, man, my mom is seventy five. She's never
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: had mess so you know you got to you gotta
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: check these items off the bucket list while you can.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You know, she was no, she had a good time.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: We did it. We did a show. We lost a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: little money gambling, but we didn't lose so much that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we wound up working at the Bunny Ranch. So it
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was a winning tree up.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Is that where Michael Corleon? No, No, he was in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Lake Tahoe. This is Reno, Yes, Tahoe.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We drove through there too. That's really nice. Really uh
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, Tahoe's real nice. It's not far from Reno.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Just a lot of mountain roads and you know you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: gotta want it because those roads are not your friend.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: A lot of like windy turney curvy roads. But you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it's like driving with Tiger Woods. It's not a sudden swerve.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Reno had it work. Reno never caught up
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: with Vegas though they never really took off the same way.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's a different No, Reno never caught up with Atlantic City,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you know. But it's having a nice time. They're having
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a they're a good time.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Uh hey, Jimmy Faylor, let's talk about the crazy Jill Biden.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: What a liar this woman is.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just it's just she's an actual sociopath. Because the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: thing is, you know, she's trying to sell books and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: she thinks this is the juicy SoundBite, Oh my god,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I thought he had a stroke. But she's so used
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to getting favorable coverage from the media that she's never
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: pondered like the pushback on something like this, meaning, if
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you thought he had a stroke, why did you bring
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: him to a rally after that? Debate chant four more
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: years and talked to him like an infant. Do you remember,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: she goes, Joe, you did it. You answered all the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: questions and started a four more years. So you think
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: your husband had a stroke and the only thing you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: doing is signing him up for four more years of work.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You're not a spouse, you know. Well, she's a dirt bag.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: She liked being on Air Force one obviously, and you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: know she liked the media really adored her because she
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was a liberal first lady. I mean, you think about
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the disparity in coverage. Jill Biden was on the cover
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of every fashion magazine there is. Okay, Malania Trump gets
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: no magazines. She speaks, she's a supermodel. She speaks five languages. Okay,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Jill speaks two languages, English and Joe. You know. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the idea that you know, she got drunk on all
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of this power, and that's why she was trying to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: still show for him, like he wouldn't run in the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: country for four year. You know that. I know that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know the stroke thing, that's a brilliant
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: lie because if you don't say that, because by saying that,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you make it sound like, oh, it's so unusual to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: see him screw up like that. It was so different
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that that's why he thought it was a stroke, because
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it's not like the normal Joe. That way helps the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: cover up, doesn't it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, one hundred percent. I mean that's the angle
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: here is she's trying to say with a straight face,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that was the only time I saw him like that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The only problem again is we have video of him
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: talking to dead people. We have video of him wandering
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: off at the G twenty. You remember the summit where
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: her Italian president had to go get him. We have
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: video of him shaking hands with invisible people. And he
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: also happens to be the only president who made the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: sign language interpreter shrug. So very hard to make a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: case for someone being around him every day and not
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: knowing things were a little off.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, President Trump is a big fan of yours.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: He watches the Saturday night TV show. He loves that show.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He's tweeted about it, said so, and he's coming to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: He's gonna actually see the Knicks. He'll be at first
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: president ever to see an NBA playoff. That's pretty good,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: isn't he.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm pumped up? And he was obviously a big fixture
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at the Garden when he lived here. He went to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of those games. Everybody remembers the you know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the videos of the playoffs in the nineties. But I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: love the huocal things so much because the Kathy Hulkeel
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: blunder of you know, I would challenge him the name
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the roster of the nineteen ninety three championship team. Do
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know what the Knicks were doing in nineteen ninety three,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Mark Heroin. They were hanging out at the Viper clubs.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: They were shooting drugs with Xavier M. Daniel whoever was
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on the team. You know, I'm being silly, but the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: point is they were out of control. Ninety four, they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: went okay, and they had a shot against the Rockets,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as we all famously remember, and Trump was there for that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hokeel is you know her playing the fame and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know this, she's only governor because she was the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: one woman in Albany who was too annoying for Cuomo
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to hit on. Okay, if she was a little easier
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to deal with socially, she would have been on that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: met too list, Okay, because you know she's just a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: nut and she was the one who said do you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: remember when she said black kids from the Bronx don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: know what a computer is? Yes, like, can you? I'm
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: assuming one of those kids was in charge of her
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: basketball research, because how the hell else could you get
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: up there and talk about a championship in your town
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that wasn't one. That's crazy?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she does. She look like one of those annoying,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like upstate suburban real estate agents. Does she ever?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Man? And the worst, just the worst kind. And it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hard to it's hard for me to watch her for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: any length of time because she does a lot of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: contrived things like that line was a contrived thing. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: afterwards her Twitter account tweeted she knew they didn't win
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a championship. She was trying to bait Trump into thinking
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they did four d chafts. That's what they tweeted. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, just take the loss and make
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the story go away. That was worse than the original lot.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You know, Hey, Colbert's gone. I've been watching the Byron
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Allen's show that replaced it. It's kind of like yours. It's,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, four funny people talking.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's silly, but the challenge, the comics unleashed is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it's comedians. They're doing pre planned bits, so it's funny,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: but we're they're doing bits from their act. So it's like,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: let's say me and you were on a show and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you have a joke about riding the subway. I have
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a joke about going to the gym. Okay, Byron looks
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at you and goes, now, Mark, how do you get
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to work every day? And you do your joke about
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the subway, and then he turns to me and goes, well, Jimmy,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: maybe you wouldn't need that gym membership you were talking
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: about backstage. If you travel the way Mark does, then
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that's my you to do the subway bit. So the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: whole thing is contrived and fake, and people usually like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it at first because it is funny. It's comics doing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: good bits from their act. But once you see how
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: contrived it is, it's kind of hard to unsee. That.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Being said, it's about eighty million dollars a year, cheaper
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: than Colbert, so it's going to be around for a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: little while.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know your Saturday night show. It's very good,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: it's right, But the monologue is the best monologue in TV.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It's the only thing like it, like Carson, like Leno,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: where you make fun of both sides. It's just genuinely funny.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It's not angry partisan, and it's doing very well. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: do you think any network will figure out if this
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: is what we need? Just fun and fun, it's hot?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You know what the challenge is something like that is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you need First of all, you need to be able
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to do that, and most of these guys who want
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to post in late night shows don't really have a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: background in stand up you know what I mean. Like
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Colbert couldn't do this if you wanted to. He's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a he's gonna stand up background, you know, Like even
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: gut So it's kind of like a monologue guy, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: where he sits in his chair and writes his monologues.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really have a background, so he shows a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: little more to the right. But like you actually, first
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of all have to be able to do it, which
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people can. But second of all,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the real challenge for these networks is, you know, they've
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: been driving home this narrative that everybody over here at
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Fox is just sitting around in maga hats punching liberal
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: babies all day. So it's hard to justify the reality
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that we're actually decent people and we do talk to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: both sides, because they've been force feeding the audience this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: narrative that we don't like. They think we're a right
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: winged tag machine. Yet half our audience wants to shoot
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the TV because of how many liberals we have on. Yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, think of all the heat. Jessica Carloff gats
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: because she's a real liberal and we we let her
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: express liberal views that our audience might not agree with.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Whereas when you throw on an MSNBC, the Republican on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: MSNBC is like a chicken that works at Pope. You know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he ain't looking out for chicken, Okay, And that's the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: reality of that NBC. Joe Scarborough is supposedly the Republican
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on that channel. Are you anyone gonna tell me with
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a straight face that he's out espousing Republican viewpoints? It's banana?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, also you're you do? I think the longest
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: monologue in TV is like twenty something minutes, though yeah
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Colbert did. Like Colbert did four minutes and he had
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: twenty two writers. So how do you do it? Everything
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: for twenty.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Two writers four minutes, and the joke is always Trump.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I mean the truth is What helps me for real
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is being on radio nine to midnight. Here on w
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: r you are covering the news cycle for three hours
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a night, so it's kind of all in your head
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: by the time you sit down to the write a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: TV show. So for me, I don't find it to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: be particularly hard. It's just figuring out how to package
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the things they need to say. It's not, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: because I'm not doing news. You're doing comedy. So the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comedy might be about the news, but you've got to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: figure out which news really lends itself to the surrounding stories.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That's where there's always some kind of a through line.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And that'll definitely be tomorrow. That'll definitely be a lot
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of what I'm doing, Like Saturday night is this week
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: had a lot of craziness, like the vegan senator in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Texas who thinks God is a woman. Yeah, okay, that's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a crazy week. Okay, the electric Ferrari that has a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: fing You know that the electric Ferrari has an actual
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: motor noise, like they have a fake motor noise on it,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Like you put a quarter in it outside of supermarket. Okay,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like it's bananas. So there's a lot of things. You
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: basically find things that are worthy of our mockery that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the audience watched this week, and you just let it rip.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And that's that's what we'll be doing. I'm ready. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can't wait.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Well, if you haven't seen it, watch Jimmy fail A
