it's a little dr evilly or i don't know you look can i tell you what i am what i am a guy whose wife has grown tired of me asking her what i should wear and she went and got me like four casual outfits that i can wear to things that have numbers on them like animals it's like a child that's why i am a swag shop this is why guys like marriage because there's somebody who does [ __ ] for you that you don't want to do well is that the main part of it no i don't think it's that but i do think i don't know about you do you have trouble figuring out like what looks right no i have a great feeling in fact i'm a very um um instinctive and decisive shopper i will go in i'm the same way shopping yes if i said either it speaks to me or it doesn't if if i'm wondering then it's then the answer is no and if i want it um you know i want it i'm good with shopping i'm not good with putting combinations of things on how often do you shop not that much very rarely i was at the mall about a month ago maybe five weeks ago i don't know i mean [ __ ] a i had not been even before the pandemic i would never really go to a store for you i'd see pictures of celebrities you know coming out of vons i'm like why the [ __ ] are they doing that i mean they must have assistance you're buying toilet paper at eight in the morning are you nuts i don't go to stores because i don't have to so but i thought you know oh it's fun they're open again and i should see what's out there for my own self i'm too in my bubble with shopping wise i mean it was quite a mind-blowing experience being in the mall what'd you do did you go to macy's i went to the west side the one in century city yeah yeah part of it is outside yeah interesting like the people with masks on were the least likely to be felt by the andromeda strain it was all the 22 year olds with masks on outside it just [ __ ] made me crazy do you ever wear the mask so you i will never wear a mask unless you force me to i wouldn't even do it anymore like just if it was a walk into my studio okay we're playing this game no you have to yell at me and then i'll do it i wear the mask sometimes just so i can walk around like like michael jackson uh with my face covered so you're coming right from your show i am oh thank you oh no problem you're such a good guy jimmy yeah sure i'll have a little this is from mike tyson is it really guess of club random with bill maher smoke pot give to bill maher by other guests of club random provided by mike tyson right i've smoked with mike tyson before who hasn't he doesn't kid around he really he loves his well you know what for you and i i mean pot is whatever it is i think for him it really i i got my eddie better lighter although these zippos are terrible they don't work um but i think for mike you know he really uh it makes him a mellow very different guy and he's not a guy you want to be unmellow i mean you know of all the guys you don't want to be you know yeah he's maybe he's medicating himself but whatever he's doing it seems to be working we're totally working did you see that fight uh um who do you fight rory jones jr i don't know about six months ago no tyson he had a pay-per-view fight of course it was totally fixed what happened well first of all he looked really good i mean he it was surprising how good he looked roy didn't look so good he clearly beat jones but they'd obviously made some kind of a deal beforehand where they would declare it a draw because it was not a draw but it was a draw at the end but these two men in their 50s punching each other yeah and mike's quite a bit bigger than than roy i think mike might be 10 years older too how old are you of 54. can you imagine a man punching you i mean how [ __ ] ridiculous is that let me tell you something today i i did something today in which children threw dodge balls at me while i was trying to shoot a basketball and it was an absolute nightmare i was getting hit with these light rubber balls i was like oh my god this is terrible so i was on your show when was it like a month ago yeah like five weeks i think and i think it was i think i was mentioning that it was is it 20 years since we passed that baton is so funny that sign behind you yeah i mean i love seeing that i love that you keep this stuff because it makes me feel okay about keeping my stuff i have a big man show sign you know yeah i mean they were just gonna how can you throw it out that's how i feel like my wife would tell you how to throw it out yeah i mean there'll never be a better title i wish i could use the title it's a great title yeah and especially was in the day because it was new yeah you know people weren't saying that they were saying politically correct i remember we had a lawsuit about that because somebody else wanted to use that and we said no we and we made that i never told you this but there was a when i was a disc jockey here in l.a there was a guy a producer who wanted me to host a show called athletically incorrect do you ever hear anything about there was there was a time in the mid 90s after we were on for a year or so when there was a slew of copycat shows i remember being very very worried about it and talking to my producer scott carter god bless scott carter all those years such a great guy he is a great guy super smart guy oh yes and just a great human and he uh and i was like they're gonna take the show and he said you know think about the people who have cycled through here that we tried to teach how to do this kind of show and they couldn't get it he said they can't rip it off when they're trying to learn it mm-hmm yeah when you're telling us well we always were doing something that was different than the other shows you know and they couldn't rip it off when we did the man show which you were on yeah of course i'm sure and um i don't remember it but i remember it well it was it was some kind of a bit where i married a monkey and then oh yeah i do remember that at the the end of the bit i look across um we were wearing tuxedos for some reason i look across the room of course you're a monkey and you were there with your own monkey like it was a thing but there was a show called the x show we made this mancho pilot and then it took like a year before it was on the air and in the meantime fx which was a new network stole the idea first they tried to buy the man show and we sold it at comedy central and then they asked me to host this show that they described to me i was like this is just like the show i'm i'm doing except for where it was five nights a week and they bought time in our premiere episode of the man show they bought ads from the local cable operator and we were just so angry and we were like we they were like our arch enemy and it's all we could think of and it's funny and i was like it didn't work it was terrible who cares yeah who cares but it was the biggest thing in like in our office now the brand of show business we're in is the most disposable like movies last forever you know people still watch [ __ ] it happened one night i mean it looks like it was made in the middle ages but it was only 1935 and it's on film and and what we do is gone by the next week it's it's sour milk you know it's it's so disposable but for me i come from radio which is even lower on that disposable ladder so as low as it gets i saw even just the fact that somebody is saving the tape of the show which you know in radio you you want the show you buy cassettes you bring them in and you take them the show they didn't use to save them i mean not at all carson used to complain that there were not those first few years there were some were on a kinescope i never even knew what the [ __ ] that was they used to talk about it and it was like what is a kinescope i don't know it was something i think it was like making a picture of a picture somehow so they had a few of them like that but those early carson years they don't even have because nobody thought they would reuse those tapes they would use it for anything yeah it's hysterical the lack of foresight it's crazy yeah and yeah even yeah how much could a tape have cost back then but that was the same with our radio show also we had a thing where were you at 34 when you started if you're 54 this show um yeah that 35 yeah 35. yeah i was about that exact age when i started politically incorrect it's funny you look back and i'm sure there are people who like our earlier work better yeah there are uh but i look back and i would just [ __ ] cringe i mean if you really wanted to torture me make me watch something same here i mean i don't even watch it now but but if i did and occasionally i do to check on something uh especially the parts that are written which i worked on all week um i can watch that and go oh okay i can totally live with that i didn't stumble over one word if i stumble over one word that's like it's ruined it's a bummer right you know but uh but but to ask me to look at something all those years ago first of all i would have zero recollection would be a total shock and maybe there'd be parts i'd go like oh that guy that was pretty cute of that guy but there would be definitely parts where i would go oh what a [ __ ] douchebag oh yeah and like that would be just exquisite torture yes it's terrible i've had that i think i feel like i've had that my whole life with everything like i wanted to be an artist when i was a kid and you draw something you think it was good and show it to your mom or whatever then like two years later you look at it you go oh god i thought this was good and then you start to question whether what you're doing at that time is good i i guess eventually you probably reach a point where you've peaked where maybe you'll enjoy looking back because you were better i don't think i would ever would because i feel like i mean what i really want to be is the most sophisticated i can in the best sense of the word not a pretentious sense and i just was less sophisticated at that age i might have not have been unsophisticated for my age right but when you look back from 50s and 60s and 20s and 30s you're not that sophisticated you think you are and you're more than you were when you were a teenager of course but there's just you're just not what they i think you used to call seasoned mm-hmm yeah you don't know things yeah you know i heard you one of the earlier podcasts talking about gazpacho and how you when you learned that it was cold soup but that's my book that's one of that's that i think that's a uh right it's a very salient point you know it's yes everything you at the gazpacho thing is obsessed with this conspiracy because it's you know it's funny what sticks in your mind for some reason i guess because i was so humiliated at that moment when i was making a thing with the waiter about the gazpacho soup being cold uh it must have been seared in my mind and it just i do want to write that book gazpacho soup is called because you every single thing you know in your life you did learn at a particular instant you don't record the incident but you could can i tell you what i didn't know when i was in my uh mid to late 20s i would um i i thought fish was healthy and and so i would get fish and chips for lunch almost every day and now you don't because of the mercury and stuff like that oh it's just it's a big blob of fried dough over you know fry fish well no fish and chips like the traditional fish and chips oh but you just said fish i think all fish is unhealthy no i no i think grilled fish is great this was like you know like a fried chicken version of fish right and i thought i was eating i'd have french fries with it i was like i'm eating as healthy as could be right i would have a bagel every morning and think like oh this is good i'm not putting much butter on it you know we don't know anything we're not taught the important things well now you're jimmy wading into my deep end of the pool because this is the area that makes me ballistic i we could spend the whole rest of this time talking about this subject but i feel like maybe i have an ally in you i don't know if i do you do these things really oh yeah okay but just let me just address the general first which is that somehow at 66 even though i understand that my body is not in the shape it must have been internally and in some ways externally that it was i'm so much smarter about my health than i was in my 20s and 30s that in some ways i'm actually healthier and you can look at even in the numbers i feel the same way which is amazing because to your point i had so many bad ideas and of course when you talk about bad ideas about health that's given the fact that we already with our best ideas don't know a lot so if you have bad ideas based on other bad ideas that's a lot of bad health and yes i was the same way i thought we all thought that uh i can't believe it's not butter was what you should eat and now it is illegal that is trans fats trans fats are illegal and that is what they told us to to eat 15 years ago to be healthy this is my why i am so skeptical about covert and all the way we handle it because the bigger question about health they just don't know that much and they're wrong a lot so don't sit there in your [ __ ] white coat and tell me just do what we say because when have we ever been wrong a lot you've been wrong a [ __ ] lot including about this i seem to remember six months we were wiping off the packages right lots of things you're wrong about the vaccine could prevent you would prevent you from getting it no or giving it no okay you weren't trying to be wrong but don't be arrogant about how much you're right because it's not very much do you feel though that now knowing what you know do you feel like you're at in that place that you were at 10 years ago or 20 years ago where the conventional wisdom is what we accept we know that grilled fish is good for us some are maybe not some are worse than others but well we know maybe we'll find out it wasn't i mean any fish that lives in the ocean is never going to be 100 good for you because the ocean is a [ __ ] cesspool there are many lakes and you can have a nice salmon out of a river i mean most bodies of water are somewhat polluted just because what falls out of the air falls into the bodies of water mercury gets into the water no matter where the water is because it falls from the clouds and fish eat that and we get it in the fish some fish are worse obviously sushi there are people who eat a lot of sushi and have a mercury poisoning that's how much [ __ ] mercury there is in the fish jeremy piven had that thing on broadway man allegedly yeah right i don't know i think he wasn't he trying to get out of that play i seem to remember that yes yeah that's possible i remember a lot of scoffing that's what i remember from that would write a book about it he blamed it on the fish the jeremy pivens club random is supported by zip recruiter there are so many more things to do during the summer months and you want to

of mercury and mercury is super bad for what's inside you this is another thing about vaccines you know i've never been anti-vaxxed but don't tell me that you know how vaccines will interact with how much mercury i have in my body or how much electromagnetic energy i get exposed to how many of the 50 000 chemicals that were never around 100 years ago that we ingest now or in the atmosphere there's a million different variables that can affect my health so right don't don't pretend that there are definitive answers about any of this but don't you do you regret having the polio vaccine the rubella vaccine you know it's a did you get the shingles i would have to go through them case by case because to me vaccines are always a case by case there are some yes that i would endorse um and some i know i did certainly didn't want the coveted one you didn't want to get it no and i did because i couldn't have like led a life without it and still couldn't today but i'm not going to get any more of it no i will i will for sure yeah well i mean we're different on that yeah and but yeah i don't know i um i don't know even the idea that mercury is bad for you like how do we know that mercury is bad for you we do know that but how do we know it we told us this okay well peer-reviewed studies told us this right and it's it's almost commonsensical but i mean there look i'm trying to lay out the case that i'm the medical skeptic right but if the question is is mercury bad for you i feel like that's on the side of settled science i'm good with that one i don't need to look into that one anymore mercury in your system not good do you feel neither is lead yeah which we also haven't well no i'm not saying i'm not saying they are good i'm not even questioning it i'm just just well why do we decide certain things medals in people's body is something that they don't look into enough and is very often i've certainly anecdotally heard from people uh who say i know one person in particular who was like she had all these horrible kind of like you know those diseases they call fatigue diseases yeah epstein-barr which is a virus many of us have in their bodies i have it in my body uh lots of you know fatigue syndrome whatever they want to call it and she said looked at a different million different things many different doctors had the mercury drilled out of her teeth problem went away mercury they used to drill it into i had it drilled yeah i had it yeah yeah did you have it drilled out yes right well if you're yeah the metal fillings you're not sure about that why'd you do that i was a kid my my parents i had no decision really anything they drilled it in and then drilled it out while you were still a kid yeah they drilled in was a little kid and drilled it out when i was like 13 or something 14 maybe wow yeah they said they had to it was like falling out yes yeah and it's bad for you yeah i don't know what their reasoning was their reasoning may have just been it's poison we want to sell you another feeling we don't want poison leaking into your body from your teeth yeah i mean that could have been it too but i i tend to think that uh i i i tend to think that they're just like dentists trying to make another 60 bucks not in this case yeah well no why if i if you leave here thinking one thing about club random i hope it will be mercury bad mercury bad don't get mercury in my body if i can help i was going to ask you why it was club random but i think i understand i don't think i need any explanation it's interesting you and i you know we have so many things in common and so many things uncommon yeah we that's true like you're a guy who loves to be married yeah and i'm a guy who obviously doesn't right i mean and you even is your wife still the head writer she she's yeah that writer and that's the producer of the show talk about someone who you can trust huh yeah because that's a real trust job totally you know if you and also who knows you it's like chief of staff if you're president yeah right who knows what you would want right not want right even more importantly so it's not just the shirts that she does yeah it's not just the shirt it's the show the show and the shirts that is a hell of a wife you got there yeah no she's good sometimes if i think of something funny in the middle of the night i'll make a lot of noise so that it wakes her up and then i'll act like i did it unintentionally and then i'll tell her the funny thing that i thought of and she almost i mean she courtesy laughs but i don't think she's but then she puts it in a bit oh no it's usually ridiculous you have some cl i must say you do have some classic bits the the tweets bit that was her idea my wife's idea really yeah that is a i mean you know that's a good bit every bit is a classic that's that's a class yeah and the other one the uh you know bleeping yeah the unnecessary censorship that's something i started doing on the radio is that right yeah really yeah it was that far back yeah it's just it was funny to put bleeps where we had to cut the tape screaming where they don't belong yeah yeah i i always got that's another gold it's it's those things those like recurring uh what a life raft new rules obviously and some of you figure that out i don't know if it's true i just unknown for a fact i just know it's true and our 24 things i love those refillables because we're we're old school fans of the old you we grew up on i mean i know you adore letterman right he's your big hero right yeah letterman howard howard yes yeah oh and he's still your boyfriend yeah now how did you wind up up howard's ass but you couldn't get up dave that's my question for you jimmy kimmel um i'm sure you tried no you know i feel like howard no matter what he says seeks human interaction and i don't know that at least with me i don't know that dave would be interested in that and i would never want to like bother him but howard and i have a lot in common we started in you know he's still a radio guy i was a radio guy i got into it because of him really and um and i i my uncle would send me tapes of the show on wnbc make a cassette tape he sent me one once every two months and i would listen to them over and over again i feasted on them right and i took this is the difference between your age which is about a decade before mind and mine because like you're howard letterman whereas i'm carson jack benny right no not jack i don't know i don't know who the other would be but it was probably somebody on the radio you know i did listen to like the disc jockeys on wabc dan ingram in the afternoon cousin brucie i didn't want to be him dan ingram was very sophisticated but but definitely johnny carson and you know we wanted to be that guy i think that guy to us was i mean we were never going to be like the athlete of the school you know right that's not what we're going to be we weren't going to be the leading man in the drama club but we could be that guy you know that was yeah our version of james i remember when uh college kids i would talk to started talking about conan in the same way that i spoke about letterman because it's whatever you're the first thing the first one you're exposed to is the one that means the most right johnny right you was johnny and then everybody else after johnny is like when there was that conan leno kerfuffle right ugliness not since the war between the states or the maybe it was the rat feuds between east and west coast i don't remember but not since something was there something that was that contentious i remember at the time this is so funny i it was like 2009 i think yeah it sounds right okay so my girlfriend at the time was 25 and i remember you know it was very uh important thing in the our world yeah and i was explaining to her i said well you know it's a generational thing leno is 59 and conan's like 46 and she went yeah that's the same thing to me [Applause] and i actually felt better because i was like oh you know what uh that's good because that means i'm in the same boat with everybody over 40. you know and yeah and that category is you know yeah out of range right fuller but but i don't know i mean were you a team were you team j or team oh definitely not team j no no i was like oh yeah you have a feud with him i was kind of in the middle of the fight with jay leno not not anymore i did though what he's such a nice guy i know you always say that and i go what am i not seeing you know there's this evil j that that i don't see really i mean is that really what you think tell me what you really think you think i am blind to no a vacuum on the inside of jay leno uh maybe i don't i don't yeah you can say that i mean unless you're like joking i'm not joking he's quite clearly very a cunning individual let's just say i mean because he hit in the closet that time are he who hides in the closet and listens in but on his own who's ever done that okay but he did it it's like a soap opera wait a second he did it on his own behalf he didn't do it to rat [ __ ] someone else he was part of his campaign i mean you know they go through the whole thing but basically that was part of him gauging what nbc was planning to do i don't recall exactly what that conversation was to you but i think it may have been they were vying for this same they were buying for this one coveted spot the host of the tonight show it was the holy grail of comedians that it would be passed so obviously it's the super bowl trophy they both want it and i don't know i find something wrong about the hatred of the people who oh you just went for it and got it and won and then by the way he was like number one they fired him twice for the sin of being number one in the in his time slot i mean it's not i don't know if that's why they fired him but yeah well they fired him because they thought well we better look out why because he was such a hard guy to work with no i just think they saw fallon surging and they saw that as the immediate future they saw there was a time where the ratings between those shows were getting close which is very unusual it speaks to the need in this business kids if you're watching and you want to get in the business you need someone talking for you an agent a manager somebody because yeah jay leno had no one speaking for him he was his own representative whereas i think it was arie emanuel one of the great talkers of all time and great people i love him i think he was in the ear of the nbc exec saying you need to think about the future yeah sure jay is number one now but you know what what about the future let's let's get a let's get ahead of this and so they fired him for being number one twice and the the successors did not do as well i'm just saying these are the raw i think it's more complicated than that well tell me what it is tell me the complicated part well there's a couple of things i mean first of all conan wanted the 12 the 11 30 spot and he went to nbc and said i want the 11 30 spot if i don't get the 11 30 spot i'm going to become a free agent and other networks are going to offer me the 11 30 spot which was happening by the way you know something that was happening right and nbc said listen we want to we want to keep jay on we want you to be the 11 30 host what we'll do is we'll make a deal in five years we'll give you the tonight show and conan now has to make a decision should i go to abc at 11 30 or stay here and wait and be a good soldier and take the tonight show at the end of it yeah abc i know uh but at the time they were talking to him and fox to replace you with him yeah to push me back or whatever you know move the show a little i was on at midnight at that time and um conan that had to make a decision you know do i go to another network or do i stay here and wait and he said okay i'll stay and wait and then when he put in his five years they broke the deal oh so he did stay five years he did stay five years and then jay who knows a lot about television a lot about tv ratings maybe more than anyone i've ever met i'll bet was offered the 10 pm slot now which they don't have to violate conan's contract jay knew that lead-in is hugely important and that nbc had had dramas that were fairly successful in those slots and they were bringing a pretty big audience to the tonight show he knew that doing his show would have maybe half those ratings turned out to be like a third and even if that show failed it would make the tonight shows ratings drop and that's what happened conan had a bad lead in from jay but and not taking the 10 p.m spot because of that why is jay always looking out for conan's interest no i'm not saying he's looking out for kona i'm just saying it's it's somewhat diabolical don't you think diabolical i mean i would never do anything like that why he so he should not have taken the 10 pm slot he should not have kept working in the air in the in the job they offered him he should say no because of conan's career i'm not going to work at 10 p.m i don't get that yeah but yeah i think i i think from the beginning his plan was to retake the tonight show to see the ratings go down you just don't like this guy i don't know what he did to you well i he yeah i what did he do did he touch you jimmy no he didn't he did do a weird thing tell me where he touched you but i don't want to make this all about because i i'm fine with him now we've spoken okay it's fine but just for the you know whatever just thing when two people i love don't like each other because i feel like i did something it wasn't your fault at all was it it's just when abc was uh when nbc was going to turn the show over to conan jay was talking to abc about coming on at 11 30. and jay um [Music] needed to get bob iger they needed to get my permission in contractually because i was contracted to be on at midnight not 12 30. so they wanted to get my permission first and so at that time jay called me a lot and you know we spoke about all sorts of things and i felt like we were having a friendly relationship and then the day nbc decided no we're keeping jay never heard from him again and i didn't even find out from him that he was staying he wanted me to move he wanted to be on 11 30 and i would move to 12 30 and i finally said okay yeah i think i would do that i'd be on at 12 30 after after you because i was on at midnight at the time and i felt he'd be a better leader in the nightline you know that wait jay was going to move to abc yeah yeah there's a lot of stuff i yeah yeah either i forgot that or no i don't think most people even know that but i know it because i was okay asked to move to 12 30. yeah so i don't know i sometimes feel like maybe well i i got a lot of friends i don't need to i don't need to like i i understand you know what i mean but i figured someday as we all walk down the path of

staircase podcast on all major podcast platforms let me tell you a couple a good jayla a jay leno's story i met him when i was a teenager out front of uh the improv i think and he like couldn't possibly have been nicer to us i mean he was super nice and chatty and you know so i i you know i'm not indicating you know whatever i just think there are some weird things there well he is a weird mix of i think a very moral guy um but he's definitely italian he has a cunning yes jay is smart about the business i mean he is ruthlessly smart but i just didn't think it was uh at the detriment of others except if you're going after the same job um yeah i don't i don't find it off-putting that he was in the closet yeah from my point of view i got to know who he was from his appearances on letterman and i thought he was cool because dave put them on and they seemed to be friendly and he would give dave [ __ ] and he was always so funny you know what those were good and then it seemed weird that then after dave kind of opened that door for him that he'd be squeezing his way through the other one well dave opened that door for him i mean he was obviously i remember those appearances too he was obviously a big talent you know chris rock for years would always say oh thank you because back in 1996 we put him on we were doing it was the 96 election he was our correspondent because he was at a kind of a down moment in his career in new hampshire it was funny i can't find hair products up here you know it gave him a little boost people saw him and it you know helped the next step but i always said to him chris i didn't do anything you're a giant talent it would have happened anyway i'm glad that we were able to like work together at a moment that was beneficial for us both but it would have happened some other way you're chris rock and i kind of feel just that's how chris feels right it's not about how you feel it's how chris feels and jay is chris in this situation and this chris is not so grateful interested in the way you threw that trump card down on me i i must say i'm a little taken aback but okay well someday i'm going to do a frank sinatra to your dean and jerry not that you were ever dean and jerry but uh it's like because you know there's so many there's so few people who can understand the what you and me and jay and you know there's a little club of people who know what it's like to do a talk show and talk to many many many different people over the years and you know i mean i would be hard-pressed if someone like had a list of every guest i've ever had to read them and make me identify exactly who we're talking about because oh yeah i i just you know i i don't remember everybody regis yeah i mean jimmy that's funny it's best because he's dead he's not even oh no he's registered he did he passed away that's a relief i feel bad i mean i feel good i mean i feel i feel good that he wasn't wrapped in so long and terrible that it had to end so i had quickly and joy and don rickles and his wife barbara over my house for dinner one night i cooked them dinner and one of the things i love about like old guys like that is nationality means so much in their characterization of you like regis ah look he's irish he's like he's shrinking he's drunk it's like yeah with don like all he could think about is my mother's italian is it's like he's the kid's italian he said because i think he thought i was jewish at the outset and was kind of hoping i was jewish but then it became the mob and spaghetti and all meatballs and all that you rich jewish you say that really yeah almost people think i'm jewish really my last name rhymes with the jewish word and um and also when i dated sarah i feel like a lot of people presumed that i was jewish i never presumed uh thank you no that you just do not you do not i don't you do not if i had judah you would not set it off is it big the big crucifix on my hairy chest i i feel like it's part and parcel to your amazing success really 20 years is a long time in that piece of real estate it's because like carson and like and david letterman there's something mid-american about you that appeals to the broad not just the coasts although you obviously do well there too but like you strike people as american and it's not like there's the larry davids and there you know people love those kind of comics but yes they that's kind of like a jewish sensibility they see there i don't see that see it with you because you're not a jew probably not a giant mystery and for america that's good because the jews are like two percent of the population it's very good to be able to do well also in muncie and lots of other places you know and yeah i know you hate to be compared but you and jay you both have your thumb well on the on the pulse of middle america you wouldn't have survived for that long in that spot if you didn't i like that ice bucket by the way it reminds me like like my parents had one like that were in the 70s you know i remember it being i still have mine right there i remember being attracted to it in some way attractive that sounds sick you know what i mean no i don't like you're not dragging you know no but like one day you wanna [ __ ] my iceberg one day i'm gonna be a man who has an ice bucket oh the people i looked up to like manly who i wanted to be a man and if i had a if i was a man like these men i'd be with lots of hot chicks were johnny carson and james bond yeah they were the right age and it's interesting you know they weren't like young they weren't old for sure but the celebrities were older than 40s 40s was like is like the perfect age like fully a man although i was you know i guess i don't know like i said looking back i don't want to do it but uh but you know still like attractive looked good dean martin also i must say i could tell that my mother was hot for dinner martin like watching the 10 o'clock he at the thursday 10 o'clock show he had comes out with the perfect tan sideburns you know the tuxedo and you know just white teeth and like it's like oh yeah i would love to i said well i can't be dean martin i don't want to be jerry lewis it's got to be something in the middle carson you know who's your all-time favorite baseball player all-time favorite baseball player well i mean there will always be someone i mean a connection for someone my age who grew up in the new york market with mickey mantle i mean my yankee yes my father appeared at the head of my first grade classroom one morning i was shocked because i've never seen my father at the school i didn't know what i thought maybe that it was a emergency or a disaster i was in trouble but he was there to take me to my first baseball game like it was like and he didn't tell you he just showed right when he just showed up that's a [ __ ] marine back from afghanistan oh that's great and uh you know i remember i do have a i have a clear memory of him talking to the teacher and he must have been saying hey i know i shouldn't be doing this i know school day is not out but it's our one chance to go to a game blah blah blah and so they're off i went wow and you know the first it's almost exactly the way billy crystal describes it often but like in his show it's a brilliant show that's right but walking into yankee stadium and before it had only been black and white on your television because your black and white tv showed the baseball games and here it was you walk out the tunnel and there's that giant expanse of verdant i had that same experience because i had a little black and white tv i watched all the dodgers games growing up and when my parents took us to dodger stadium what really impre what really stood out to me was that the dodgers numbers were bright red right which i never really noticed sure you know in the newspaper no and it was just so big you know and and there they were and so mickey mantle when i was seven i had a flannel uniform like a yankee pinstripe uniform with seven that my mother sewed on the bag really and i wouldn't take it off all summer and she was begging me too because it was hot and it was flannel but it was mickey mouse so i guess that's back in my memory somewhere i mean when i got more um thoughtful about sports um [Music] i went right to joe pepitone no i don't know name some people i mean i like a lot of people but you know they're basically they're like tom seaver was that one of yours yeah tom seaver was great because i know you liked the mets i just didn't know i i didn't know it was um yeah i assumed it was for a while it was fun yeah right and now they're doing great i told you that story about the las vegas golden knights yes they offered me a piece of the franchise and i didn't uh do it because i felt you told me it wasn't a great deal when you owned the mets it was a great deal i don't know why you must have been hot i told you i i it was it was you told me that you they never give you any tickets you don't even have a parking space there i always have to pay for tickets yeah that's i would never have said that because i never that was not the case must be using my own parking space i mean i made a major life decision based on i made i had my they were always great about that i had my own parking space and yes you had to like at the world series yeah they there were some things but you know i mean i guess that was in the contract anyway i went to the world series i had the greatest seats right they were there the will ponds were super nice to me um i have no complaints about that the problem was during the pandemic because we weren't playing baseball games so they had these things called capital calls when you're an owner and you and you don't the team losing a lot of money you got a pony up and so it was very scary to be running a baseball enterprise and not playing baseball right and then when we did play there was no one in the stands to buy hot dogs that was a troubling time i was worried about that way more than the getting the [ __ ] andromeda strain i was worried about that that's so crazy never think about that you you have a piece of a team that you might maybe might not be uh oh you might have to pay up absolutely yes and i did luckily mr steve cohen came along the next year and the met sold yeah and uh it actually turned out to be a great thing but uh yeah there was some [ __ ] nervous moments yeah um but well now i'm back no i think i made the right decision yes you know what but of course the golden knights went to the stanley cup in their first season is that right yeah they're a professional team yes it's an nhl team it's like unheard of i don't know i know so little about hockey and i'm so actively against it that i can't really judge that you know because hockey i don't know and i don't even think it should be here it's not really american it's boring like soccer it's a sport sort of just more like exercise so i'm not so i can't judge have you gone to a game live no of course not it's it's different it's it's more fun and more boring but no it's not it's not boring you're you're right up at the glass if you get good seats and just you know they're constantly smashing into the hole all covered up and you can really see them fighting i don't care and i'll go to a fight if i want to see them fighting but in general of all the things that goes up in value this is why i did this deal back in 2011. sports teams people in this [ __ ] country you know better than anybody love sports and those investments never go down could they yes in a small market but not the new york baseball franchise there's only one national league baseball franchise and it's not going anywhere it's like mark mark twain said about real estate god made the earth but he ain't making any more and they ain't making any more national league baseball friendly foreigners so i don't know if that's anything like what this one is in hockey does it sound like it has quite the tradition no but so but it's i think it's hugely successful as far as attendance and fan excitement and going to it was a really big story like it hadn't happened in any professional sport since like the early 60s but if somebody offers you like something in a legacy team and when i say legacy team like i if if there's like a world series uh as there usually is without the mets in it so i don't really care who wins i always root for the team that's been around longest i root for the team whose baseball cards i had when i was a kid if it's the detroit tigers against the marlins [ __ ] them brewers in the american league not even the brewers it was the milwaukee braves before they went to atlanta when they went to atlanta well right yeah hank aaron yeah i also had a card that said bob clementi really above because he couldn't say roberto because that that was for that era that was a little too ethnic bob you have baseball cards i do i have some baseball cards but they're cards i collected when i was a kid you got to come over one day and uh i am one of my 10. yes apparently i am facebook you got to come up all day seriously i'll go through my cards you got good ones amazing that's great like the years like 60 like maybe three four five something like that when i was like seven eight nine very complete did you um flip cards when you're a kid yeah yeah someone and you put them in the spokes of your bike yeah yeah yeah i valued them too much to do that but we'd flip them all the time yeah non-stop gambling with the cards i got a mets team card once and yeah team card oh the checklist was about the checklist yeah and uh the kid this kid mark his parents owned the grocery store in brooklyn milk and stuff and he was so upset that i got the mets team card he made them open all of the cards in the store and they didn't get another mets team card and one of training him the mets team card for all of those cards hundreds of cards it was like a scene out of willy wonka it's like they're opening these packs looking for this mets team card do they still have a card oh yeah sure yeah cards are bigger than ever you know i not only have baseball cards oh jimmy when you come over here we're gonna have such a good day not only do i have baseball cards i have other cards that i that were beetle cards wow batman cards two kinds one drawing one photograph really yes two two editions martian cards there was a movie uh jack nicholson was in it it was called uh [Music] something let's go to mars or mars attacks i think it was tim burton tim burton right mars attacks that was from a set of cards that i have wow still as a kid did you collect blocky packages you know wacky packs no what's that um that was a big thing like they they take like a a a product like a tube of crest toothpaste and they change it to crust and crust would be coming out of it you know like that kind of i think i have those cards yeah i love those those wacky pack cards i have um monster cards really well or maybe it's adam's family one of those yeah and you remember buying them when you were a kid no i don't remember i don't know how i have them the baseball cards i know how i have because i did save my nickels and times to go buy cards packages a bit remember you get that stale gum yeah oh yeah um and you would open it up and you're like oh who did i get a little bit of gum dust would come out yeah and you see and sometimes you get like some like shitty san diego padres right [ __ ] oh yeah the best ones from the i don't know if they still did it but there was like okay each guy bob clementi and you know raleigh fingers whoever it is then checklist card worst team card second worst but best was like when they had two or three stars sometimes from different teams yeah right standing together with a special card buck blasters right you know it was clementi and willie stargel or something like that yeah you know for like the american league and national league best first baseman yes like rod carew and steve garcia right it would be yeah like hank aaron and willie mays together you know like right yeah see for us the team cards were uh big but only teams we liked we we didn't care about the expos racist victim bashers do you ever play any of those celebrity softball games where you get to play with like those guys like gossage was one and winfield these guys in in one of these games games what kind of like a celebrity softball game they'll do them i played in the uh a couple of years i was in something at dodger steady and they sent over a uniform he got in a dodgy uniform with the stirrups the whole thing it was kind of cool yeah i remember i went with alan thicke wow um and it was a game i loved it yes yeah tony danza got me out with a little 10 cent curve ball grounded to third um i remember jonathan silverman wow like really hit it a long way oh really like very impressive um what else do i remember about that day i don't know i think i have the picture somewhere but that's about it for me yeah it's fun with playing with those the old players you know you do that often i've done it a few times is great you have so many like of these big celebrity friends what's that about like jennifer aniston and like well it's funny howard stern it's funny i still just say some other [ __ ] that you're friends with some other i still have my best friends from high school oh i do oh bring out the award but for goodness god just it's not just but why am i being defensive but do they party with jennifer yeah no you keep them separate that's actually not true really yep actually specifically not true in fact but when she my friend jimmy gentleman who was jimmy gentlemen jimmy gentlemen come on there's nobody named jimmy jimmy gentlemen and um there's actually two people named at him and his dad's john gentlemen i think of you as jimmy general it's funny my uncle vinnie was like thought it was a nickname he's like because yeah cause you're like the jerk and he's like the the gentleman i was like no i'm not i'm not the jerk anyway uh we knew that he's so polite he wouldn't come who if jimmy gentlemen go to jennifer aniston's house if he knew that's where he's going so we lied to him we told him we're going back to our house and um just drove there and he was a nervous wreck the whole time why because he felt he was not worthy to set foot yeah which is not true and he loosened up after a while right i hope you slapped a snot out of him he needs to be disabused of that notion yeah well i think he was disabused well okay yeah no if you insist i'll let you talk to him i would i agree with you i would like to interview jimmy john i agree with you completely and uh try to convince him try to convince him that uh just because he is one of your memphis mafia i assume that's why you keep him around jimmy i i assume he's like the memphis mafia he is you're a gopher he's got he lives in las vegas he's got a wife and children kid just went to college you make them work for you too no nobody likes it nobody works for me i know i'm [ __ ] with you i'm a comedian you know i've been smoking this so i think it will be jesus christ and what are you drinking wine i'm drinking wine yeah jesus what are you doing wells in 1985. with your beard and you're watching yes i am do you remember when orson welles was on the shall we say down slide when he was a fatal legend a fat old legend and he'd always be on like merv griffin and he just made the rounds and it was like you know of course he's a legend but that was the elephant in the room it was like okay you haven't done anything in 30 years but your arson wells and and he would i guess regale them with wreck and tour like tales of hollywood one time we'd was twerking on my balls wouldn't you love to have the reel of him on talk shows you know from the 70s it would not be hard to find he's wearing a scarf yes exactly a scarf a cigar always a prop cigar uh and a big cloak because he was just big as a house by then and of course lana turner was always twerking on his nuts which he referred to as the magnificent ambersons is that true no it's one of his movies it's one of his famous movies it's the magnificent andersons it's actually some people say his best movie i watched citizen kane recently again it's like one of those movies that you watch every 10 or 20 years because you think maybe i missed it the first time it was so great it was like maybe i missed it the second time why it's so great no i'm not it's not bad but it's a little like the mona lisa very overrated like it just sort of got to this place in the public consciousness and you know no one ever accused never being geniuses so like they just made it they just anointed this thing to be like the greatest picture the greatest movie and uh it's neither are close to the greatest it's an interesting movie i like it but enough it's just not what it what they say it was however gone with the wind as overstuffed as it is is still casablanca is a good one oh yes casablanca i talked about this i think with quentin tarantino here it doesn't make sense because um the purse the whole thing hinges on the idea that there are these letters of transit which can get you out of nazi-occupied morocco and if you have the letters of transit the nazis will never touch you and that is not really how i do that you don't think a letter of transit would so do you like have movie nights at your house where you watch like i'm sure a giant mogul even though you have your high school friends still like you gets like the big movies that are out so they want you to see it so you'll promote it i get a link to those i watch them on tv at my house and um watch them from where are you alone where are you when you're watching in the living room in the living room i have a 100 inch tv that's about 13 years old starting to show it 100 inches it's a huge tv i'll take out just enough to beat but okay so you're watching in the living room i watch it with molly yeah usually hopefully so like this often not and then you talk about it after like your assessment of it or like this is something you want to really how i do it honestly and i wonder if you do this too i will if the producers tell me it's good i'll watch it if they don't i won't because i don't want to have to give any commentary that is positive and i think it's better to just be honest and i haven't seen it yet exactly the conclusion i came to yes yeah right it doesn't come up as much for me because i'm not on five nights a week like you are and mine is not even you're not plugging there mostly sometimes but you know i mean rod stewart was on a couple of weeks ago i like rod stewart listen to it forever he's brought stewart he's great it's not a problem he's one of those dean martin type guys rod stewart oh that level i think he was more dean martin was mostly a myth he was not really a drunk or a womanizer you know rod stewart really golfer he was a golfer yes he's a strange guy you know he drank himself to death at the old uh remember the the place that was hamburger hamlet it was on the corner really yeah it's now some other trendy thing but it was the remember that corner of right where sunset goes into beverly hills sunset kind of branches there doheny a little past delhini okay hamburger hamlet and he just sat in the back he had his booth his last few years and kind of like drank himself to death i mean that's what they said alone at hamburger hamlet and like why i know he's no he lost his son early i mean it's horrible when uh we we any parent to face a child that pre-deceases you has got to be rough yeah but still you know come on dino i don't i don't understand why people yeah yeah but you know i never had kids and you yeah well it's some you know i think about this sometimes that some of these older guys like rickles you know like they just get such a kick out of the fact that younger guys like us like are interested in them and yeah that this is relevant mel brooks is still around and you can express that to him i have and i have too and yeah don't you i think like i think that may that's makes it is one of the things that makes us very lucky because i think that when we're in that position you know there'll be a handful of people at least who are wanting to are interested in our lives or whatever and a lot of old people don't have that right and um yeah i think that that's always nice you know and i think i could see how important it was to don and to some of these guys but every perspective you have must be different than mine because you have four kids maybe not every but really i mean i'm sure not every because i think we large i largely agree with your perspective but um yeah but that does it but you mean my daily well you i mean even i don't know anything like climate you know you're got to be thinking about i'm only thinking about what the world's going to be like sadly for the next 20 years you know to be real but i mean you've got to be thinking about what the world's going to be like for the next 80 because the kid is 10. sure and then they're gonna have kids yeah and uh yeah i do sure i do uh but you know norman lear does too and he's 99 years old is he really yeah it'll be a hundred in july what does he think about climate change oh climate change right he's you know right that right well you have to have that attitude you can't once you feel like you're dead already you're dead already you have to feel like yeah it's all about tomorrow i never look back i mean of course you think you don't really well i i i do waste water [Laughter] why i don't know because i'm gonna [ __ ] up the future for your kids no no i'm just asking if you waste water i try not to i would i don't do it on purpose right well you can do it on purpose but you won't leave the shower like going for 15 minutes absolutely not right no no no no i don't do anything so i think you have an overall but even if i did it wouldn't make any difference i mean i'm one of you know but it makes a difference when like-minded people start doing those things you know and i think also for people who do that stuff it's good to hear that other people will do it people are not going i don't think we are ever going to get people to do enough to effect on a individual basis of voluntarily yeah to affect climate change i just don't think you will uh people want to live a baller lifestyle they want to all of them want to take a private jet but the only people who don't take private jets are the people who can't afford a private jet they all want to if they could they would if a private jet was cheap the skies would be filled with private jets which are the worst thing for the environment right they're not serious about it and that's okay and there's countries like china and india where the people have been denied for all these years because of poverty refrigeration sometimes even certainly cars and now they're getting them and their view is oh we should give it up now right now that you already enjoyed it you rich white people and now we're getting it so that's not going to sell that's not the way we get out of this if we get out of it which i don't think we will have a good night jimmy well say hi to your kids for me i'm just being devil's advocate because i don't i don't necessarily disagree with you but i i do i hope that we make the connection with these things to our children we actually make that connection where we go like oh if i waste all this water my children are not going to have water to drink and their children are not going to have water to drink yeah i mean we should care about art actual children well if we don't care about the children of the world we at least our own children we should care about okay but if sheds and butts were bearing nuts we'd have a hell of a party yeah we should do a lot of things and we're just not again it's not my fight even because like i think the planet will be somewhat here when it's ready to get rid of me well the planet will be here yeah right planet's gonna be fine yeah people on it are [ __ ] yes but i'm saying i think there'll be some way to survive you know a hundred years from now 50 years from now i don't know about that i don't know i mean there's i always think things that are depicted in movies as the future always come true because they do and the thing they depict a lot in movies in the future is an apocalyptic wasteland brought about by either nuclear war or environmental devastation but your original point i'm interested in is that you say that these movies the things they put in the movies eventually come true right but i mean that's certainly not the case with everything i mean jimmy remember we didn't used to have flying cars uh the flip okay the flip phone that captain kirk had we totally have i mean how about like the jetsons had those those food pills that were like your whole dinner you know uh some people do eat like a lot of i mean ray kurzweil has 300 pills a day uh member minority report yeah with mr tom cruise okay probably one of your friends emily blunt emily blunt yes he was like moving things on a screen with his hands i remember watching that and going whoa look at that it was completely futuristic and within two years we were all doing it and then seven years later or whatever it was it was everything yeah but they found out from the company that they were going to be doing and this is they put it i'm just saying they imagined it on the screen and then it became a reality right and i worry that that will happen with uh the apocalypse i mean there's just a lot of these movies do you think star trek will happen like where we'll have ships and we'll be shooting around all over the place um not if we do the other one first we wipe out civilization because i mean think of all those kind of movies the you know mad max and the barren wasteland is one where matthew mcconaughey has to go discover it on the planet because nothing grows anymore i mean i could see us no i think we like to see those things in the same way like that we find entertainment and seeing murders like we know like eventually like our lives are going to end for some reason like a murder mystery like is very ener exciting to us entertaining yeah but a murder mystery yes can be entertaining because we're not the ones or even just this not the ones getting murdered terminator where people are just kidding yeah but in this scenario we're all getting murdered you know if nothing grows i mean that's the premise of that movie where and i'm a fan of matthew mcconaughey but like come on a scientist he just doesn't read scientists like the scientist is going to figure this [ __ ] out i would not pick it the world's most happy i'm not he's a bright guy but i'm just saying he's not that guy okay but he's got to like find something through the wormhole or something and it's just a bad plant and but the idea that things don't grow anymore that could happen i mean it certainly has happened in many areas of the earth what if it happened all over the earth you think photosynthesis might come to an end well i think you can burn out uh you can make things too hot for anything to grow yeah but you know you can now hydroponically you can grow things with very tiny amounts of water so you're saying we grow all the crops in in your mom's basement yeah basically i don't know whenever i fly over the country it looks like a lot of the country is farmland it would be hard to get that inside that's what i'm saying it would be hard to get that inside you they do you'd be surprised the whole country between between the hudson river and san bernardino no i think i should turn every cemetery into farmland you know like wine monetaries are a waste that's true yeah yeah but you know people are squeamish about their dead relatives yeah i mean you gotta i feel like my dead relatives would like uh potato or tomato vine on their yeah they're crazy it's more natural you're right yeah i mean but you that's one thing it's very hard i would not want to if i'm gonna pick my battles pick that one like convincing people what to do with their dead relative right i think i feel like they got their feelings about it right it's very personal and emotional and not logical and that's okay you know i got to give them that what a job to pick though if you think about it like what a job where all day every day for weeks and months and years your job is to console um the relatives of dead people oh you're talking about like a funeral director yeah oh yeah right there are jobs i mean obviously proctologist is another one where you have to wonder like with why this one panoply of professions available who i mean gynecologist i could see that's like a goof idea you had in high school i got to look at [ __ ] all day and then you kind of just kept stayed with it but the [ __ ] one i don't i don't see that one i think they get paid a little more oh well maybe there you then what than other specialties all other specialties you mean there's a special i think there are but i do feel like i've looked this up it would i don't i wouldn't even want to look this up because then what would come to me from people who thought this was my area of interest like if i was like i got to tell you from my father it's definitely his area of interest i mean all we talk about is his bowel movements and his farting and um why because he's infirm no not at all he just is proud of his bowel movements and wants to tell me about them like sometimes he'll walk right in the door and immediately start telling me about the [ __ ] he took the day before it happens all the time he sometimes takes pictures of them and sends them to me and i'm saving a file of them for his funeral i'm going to do a slideshow for the fact that this is because your father has a good sense of humor and this is a joke um part a little no he knows you're laughing at this yeah but he also loves it it's like it's like people singing karaoke like you know like they know they're goofing around whatever but they [ __ ] love being i say my dad loves but it sounds like you have a kind of a buddy relationship with your father i do but he also will do this with anyone like i never had that with like my sister-in-law he'll tell her about his right like he hit his [ __ ] he sounds very laid-back your father not like he is pretty okay my father was more uptight than that great guy but like that would not have happened between us my dad looks just like wolf blitzer like almost exactly and um is uh he's still your mother my parents are both alive yeah still together chill together yeah wow how many years have they been together they just last weekend celebrated their fifty holy sixth anniversary come [ __ ] on yeah 56 years yeah that's and are they looking around well my mother is on an app [Laughter] wow i can't i can't even uh i just can't imagine that's yeah they got married my mom was 20 years old they got married wow it's crazy and um what's their relationship like perfect because it's they've been through no it's not perfect but they're kind of it's never big there's never any big anything it's just a series of little well i feel like when married i feel like marriage is from well of course not speaking from personal knowledge but from what i've seen and my parents i feel like it's good in the beginning and then it's a difficult period for like 50 years which you know where you're still like sort of you know subliminally resentful someone of the other because someone's not getting enough sex and sex is an issue and it's a hard thing to it's a hard thing to manage a good sex life after you've been with someone for a while blah blah blah and then you get to a point where you're past that i feel like i remember that in my own parents marriage when they got and and suddenly it's like you've traveled together i mean it's like you have this great golden years memory of your wonderful life together and all you built together and all those memories and and you don't have this monkey on your back about and we should be [ __ ] right and that becomes like the second great period of of a marriage i think this is the way it is it's just that little middle fifty she said fifty years in the middle yeah other than that it works like a charm yeah it's just that i call it an interregun but oh jimmy yeah so all right i got to go back to my job all right i really appreciate you putting up with that was fun my was it it was a lot of fun i loved it but it was a lot i don't know if you're just putting on an act for me but i hope you had a good time because i adore you you're just such a great guy ever since you gave me that box of porn when we changed over jobs you know you could have been a dick about it and you know it's just never in your nature you know people you you've done so well partly because you know when you're on tv that much for that long the old cliche you know you can't hide you can't hide who you are you know and people just like you and they're right well and they're right to say that that's true you know i i've told you the story of um one of the great uh shows i ever saw was um uh ewan seinfeld in at arizona state university when i was in college and uh and you were great you were just so great i remember i i remember the same show i remember jokes from it i remember we were both doing stand-up on the same show yeah you guys were doing a big college tour wow it was you and jerry and i'm forgetting a third guy but uh it was just so great and uh i remember thinking uh bill maher was like was the funniest one no i did i'm sure i wasn't good with jerry you're talking about poppers and goofers and your father oh really yeah yeah i guess this was like eight late late 80s yeah oh that's exactly right before seinfeld it's like 1980 because he was 87.88 because obviously he wouldn't have been doing that and then i got politically incorrect in 93. yeah yeah where did it go yeah it's so funny you know like my actual life better now than back then for sure in so many ways it's just that little but i'll be dead soon thing yeah boy or sooner i relate to that with every fiber of my behalf it's that little fly in the ointment if they could just

like and how oh yeah i mean that's just gotta be i mean it doesn't get any better than yeah i remember my first time out in california so vividly you know the palm trees like i've never seen that and just it's sort of like everything you'd seen on tv because it's all over every tv show the way the stuff the way the street signs looked i remember that so much like i had seen it so many times those blue la street signs which we don't have back east they're not blue the street signs and then you would see it i had a gig once in la jolla i was my first year out here and i never found the gig i

Bill shit on everything jimmy said the entire podcast. I'm still trying to figure out why you would have a guest on your podcast just to disagree with him about everything.
Bill: so you don't like Jay Leno? Kimmel: yeah this reason and that reason. Bill: your wrong. Kimmel: you talked me out of buying into hockey team, list reasons why. Bill: no I didn't. Also hockeys stupid and shouldn't be allowed to be a sport in america. Bill making cocktails with an ice bucket, wtf Kimmel are you drinking wine, OMG who does that. Bill: whats up with you hanging out with major celebrities. Kimmel: I still have friends from my past, why am I defending myself. We all hang out. Bill: yeah right.

I found it hilarious that Bill complemented Jimmy on how funny his show is, and took mean tweets and unnecessary censorship as examples, 2 things that hasn't anything to do with him really, and at least one them he didn't even come up with himself... And I absolutely agree, the things that are funny on his show isn't because of him

Bill trying and failing to remember the name of Interstellar amuses me more than I expected.

Such a different bubble compared to what I and other younger Reddit (especially r/movies) users have; I don’t think anyone here will forget that movie for decades, whether liked or disliked.

I love how bill knew that he was annoying Jimmy by the end. "Thank you for putting up with me" I think he said. I wonder how he knew or why he knew and if he was annoying Jimmy on purpose. This was the only time he semi-acused a guest of "putting on an act." Really interesting to see two media heavyweights talking in the same room for an hour. Would love to see Howard Stern on but Stern would NEVER hahahaha

[u/bassplayerguy]

Is Bill ever gonna stfu about how healthy he believes he is?

What Bill fails to acknowledge is that scientists agree that they don’t know everything. And that’s why when a virus appears that’s never been seen in humans and people are dropping dead at alarming rates they err on the side of caution. Sorry if that affected the stake he had in the Mets.

Unfortunately saying the podcast won’t be political doesn’t mean he won’t be rehashing everything else from his show. Good on Kimmel for pushing back.

[u/mev186]

I really don't understand what's been going on with Bill these last few years, I remember a time where Bill would tell his audience and his guests to listen to scientists because they've studied this. Now He's going around saying "why should we listen to people who are in white coats, They get a wrong sometimes." Neglecting the fact that the people in white coats spent a good chunk of their life studying information to earn that white coat.

I don't understand This anti-science rhetoric.

[u/BakedHose]

I enjoy the podcast but why does Bill have to be so combative and argumentative with every guest when they speak about any subject he doesn't agree with? Jesus christ man. His boomer rants are so fucking pretentious. And he will not stfu about the masks and millennials. He's turning into the old man yelling at clouds meme lol

Bill Maher proudly declaring his instinct and decisiveness regarding fashion and shopping while wearing his graphic t-shirt tucked into his black slacks, accentuating his 66-year-old-man-belly…of course.

A man who acknowledges he lives in a bubble, but isn’t insightful enough to realize that has effected him (in more ways than one).
