Speaker 1 (00:12):

Speaker 3 (00:12):

broadcasting from the tippy top of the world famous Fox
News Headquarters in.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
A big Labor Day best of episode of Fox Across
America with Jimmy Fala. Today we salute you the American worker,
you the American listener, by bringing on some of our
favorite hard working Americans, folks who embody everything it means
to be a capitalist, self determining human in the greatest

(00:42):
country the world has ever known. We're going to talk
to Mike Rowe. We're going to talk to Tim Scott,
We're going to talk to Saturday Night Live alumn Kevin Nealan.
You're even gonna hear from Danny Boy O'Connor from the
iconic rap group Jump Around.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
What do they all have in common?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
They're all in on the joke that if you live
in this country, you hit the low damn it by
the unique fact that you have what we call American privilege.
So as you're having your barbecue, or watching your ball game,
or commuting into work like I am, you will be
joined by a host of some fine Americans, including this
very first one, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. I was

(01:17):
told I was interviewing an author, but based on your
tea regiment, am I also interviewing in R and B singer?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
You know, let me just say the truth matters. I
tried out, of course, when I was in the tenth grade,
and my course teacher said, son, you are really talented.
You are actually remarkable on a football field. He says, Please,
have you ever heard of lipsiing? This is for Bill, Yeah,
a million MILLI.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, he's before those guys. He just lips think the words.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I mean, so a tenth grade I refused to sing
in public.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I respect that though, because because no, and you know what,
teachers sometimes can help I giving you a little more honesty.
Something that really helped my creative process is when I
was five years old, I had made my mom a
book and I found it in the garbage that day.
Do you know how bad your art is if your
mom throws it out? That I really had like a
moment of self awareness, like card I could get my

(02:09):
life together.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Maybe this is why she helped create this shredder. My
mom was. She interviewed the paper she invented the paper trade.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I love this.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
Well.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
We're talking about, you know, persistence and overcoming odds and
everything in between. So much of this book is about
people who've been guided by faith through a lot of adversity.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Absolutely so.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
A story I wanted to get into was about the
Apollo thirteen mission because where I grew up in Levetown
on Long Island, we weren't far from Grumming, where they
made some of the Gemini space capsules and all that.
And that was another place where I was told on
a school trip I didn't fit in the capsule. I
was third grade. I was like, you're too chubby to
be an extra kid. Early on you you were framed poorly.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeaheah.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I got to rub you know you're superstar. You know
it worked out for you. You know Rodney Dangerl said
he got no respect. My teacher told me I got
no treadmill. And I was like, all right, well, I
guess I'll work in another field. I don't know what
to tell you. But it was about gym level. It was,
you know, hundreds of thousands.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Thousand miles away from home lost, not not really lost,
but everything that was supposed to work didn't work. Yeah,
and everything's crashing, oxygen supply running out. He saves the
lives of the astronauts or with him simply by doing
a couple of das number one. If you're at peace
in your heart, your mind can be clear.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
The way he.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Got that was what we call first few to five
seven Cast your cares upon the Lord.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
How in the world do you cast your cares upon
the Lord?

Speaker 4 (03:25):
You're two hundred thousand miles away from Earth and things
are crashing. I couldn't do that, But he had been
trained as an astronaut for a long time, so he
called upon his expertise. Once his mind cleared, he was
able to put together contraptions to save the lives of
all the astronauts. Hearing that story and how he depended
on prayer and his faith and at the same time
that made room for his expertise is something I think

(03:47):
we all need to lean on as it relates to
our own tragedies and struggles.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
And I think we're talking to South Carolina Senator Tim
Scott the new book One Nation Always under God, Profiles
and Christian Courage. I think that's a very fancy way
of saying that God has an unlimited data plan.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
A does not don't don't set it through at and
T go to God.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
You go through the God Carrier, So any time minutes
you can do it all. And I think that's what's
so fascinating about this book is there are so many
different facets of people and life experiences, and my takeaway
in reading it is that it's almost like having that
faith simplifies things for you.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Is that the point you are kind of.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Because if you think about that the data plan that
God has, the word we use is omniscient, right, which
is all knowing. And the fact of the matter is
God starts the story only after he finishes it, so
for him there are no surprises. For us, it's a
big surprise. I was feeling out of high school. That
was a big surprise to me and my mama, not
to my teacher stuff for some reason. So the fact
of the matter is that we have to figure out
a way that to stitch together our lives in an

(04:49):
imperfect way, flawed, without question, But if we have this
understanding that there is a bigger plan, that there's an
opportunity for us to have a mid course correction.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I think we find ourselves on the right path.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Also, Yeah, and Jim found that path away from Earth.
I found that path through struggle, through challenges, through frankly
losing a political race, failing in business, failing.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Is what I.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Found was this imperfect path that led me to the
right place at the right time. And it's unbelievable how
well it works when you have faith that God's plan
will emerge.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
At the right place.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I love that so much because what I like in
that too, in my own personal belief system, is that
it's giving you this compass that's built for a longer journey. Yes,
and we're back, you know, we're measuring the journeys between
today's business proposition and you know, tomorrow's era. But it's
that it's a larger compass and it's taking you to
this higher thing.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And it works time and time again.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
When I look back, it works better than what I
look forward, by the way, because listen you and I.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Mean listen, you can do it.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, were just talking about this driving cab for
seven years full time, five to five you were talking
about I'm not sure every day that you woke up
and went to drive the cab and then you went
in the comedy at night. Every night at comedy would say, man,
this is the life exactly where the audience wants me,
driving the day, saying away at night and writing my

(06:10):
material with everybody else is asleep. Well, in so many ways,
the book One Nation Always Undergot It profiles these amazing
people that were actually just ordinary people who believe that
something remarkable could happen because they had no choice but
to believe it.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Dorothea Dix.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
She challenged the way we dealt with mental health in
her time, and she changed asylums across this nation and
frankly more respect for people who are institutionalized around the
world because she saw an opportunity. She had this passion
for such an issue, and then solved the issue around
dignity and respect for those who are in the institutions.

(06:50):
Only happened through this voice in this heart she had
for both the Lord and for those who were suffering.

Speaker 7 (06:57):
That is really cool stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
And I get it though, because you need that outbound compassion.
And that's again back to that compass. Give me this
we're talking to South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. Uh, do
you consider it a profile in Christian courage to still
be a Dallas Cowboys fan right now?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
You know, I think it's a profile and longevity and endurance.
I'm a suffering fan. The last time we won a
Super Bowl, I had hair. It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
A brother had an half roll.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Maybe to of the matter is that it has been
the nineties, uh huh since we were the America's team
that was winning a man. Now we're still America's team
and we're just mediocre. So I'm hoping that the surgery
the time off is serving Dallas Jack Scott really well.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
And you got George Pickens coming in from the Steelers.
That's my son's favorite player.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Thank God Almighty help your son's Cowboys fan. Yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I don't know that he's exactly he will root for Pickens.
I will take the over on sportsmanlike conduct penalties if
you're looking for some gambling advice. Piggins got flagged every
down on the Steelers, but he's so talented.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
We're hoping that we have a we'd hardness that energy
and score some time touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
We need we have a pretty decent defense. We need
to sign.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
Our top players, Michael Parsons.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
We got to have them, let them out on the field.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
On the field right and does not make perfect, it
makes permanent. So he needs to be practicing all the
time right now.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
Are you willing to could I know this expensive?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
He's going to make a lot of money, okay, Jerry Jones,
is they're squawking about that?

Speaker 7 (08:20):
Are you willing to donate one book to off Center cast?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Just the one? Jerry?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
If you're listening, listen, we need Parsons on the field.
Will I will donate one book that you can you
can auction it off. If I won't cover one year's salary,
one day salary, you.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Go, whatever covers, We'll do it. Sign you gotta signed
copy in it. I'll throw in the pigs at him.
Jacket oh man.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
He already responded, he said no to the jack kidding.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
If he did not. He likes he likes it. He
likes Well, let's stay in the.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Stand of Texas for a minute, because we're talking about
your new book. One Nation Always Got Under God, Profiles
and Christian Courage. There was this big stunt pulled with
a Jerry mandering protest and the Illinois of the jerry
manderin capital of the world to say they're again Jerry hender.
That's like saying you're against gambling and you flew to Vegas.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It doesn't quite line up, But don't you think.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
And this is a conversation we've been having for a while,
and I know there are themes of this in your book. Okay,
we all have the same needs as a people, and
the Democrats keep trying to make this reductive identity politics argument.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
Yes, and I find that it's.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Almost an insult to the communities they care they purport
to care about, and.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
They're leaving them.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes, I mean they're losing their minds because they're losing
their voters. Think about the results of the twenty twenty
four election, especially in the in the eyes of jerry mandering.
What the Democrats want you to believe is that jerry
mandering in Texas is about race. Well, forty eight percent
of Hispanics men voted for Trump.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Jerry Baby, good luck on that.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Thirty BLUs percent of African American men, for the first
time in decades voted for Trump, a Republican. We saw
Native Americans over fifty percent voted for Trump. So the
fact of the matter is jerry mandering is about power. Yes,
it is what's happening. It is legal in America. But
jerry manner for more power. That is just what the
Democrats have been doing. What they're really ticked off about

(10:08):
is that we've torn the page from their book and
we're now applying it to reality in the same way
that they have done decade.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
After decade after decade.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
The difference is, we want to give the American people
their money back, which gives them their power. Democrats want
socialism taking their money and their power.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, they ain't giving them money back.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Up in New York City, let me tell you the
Senator Scott, we have a guy running right now on
actual socialism, Like Elizabeth Warren shut off and endorsed him.
That used to be the kind of cassette tape that
got leaked and destroyed your political career, both in socialism.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now they're out there campaigned on it and nothing he
says makes sense. By the way, listen, we're going to
build you more houses while freezing the prices of the
current housing. That means every person who wants to build
they guaranteed not to make a profit. You can build
for nothing, exactly. No, no, no, you have to pay
taxes on what you build.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah, imagine the free grocery is the freak you know,
will free everything.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
It's called the new The modern day bread line is
New York City's government running grocery stores.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's a good point. But you know what about the line?
Will it be endless?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
But one part to that, as wardrobe always tells me,
I need to avoid carbs. So mom, Donnie wins if
I'm gonna bread line for three miles, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
You're not gonna hear. You're not gonna worry about cars
on TV.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
The flowers going away, the sugar is going in the
salts point, it's not gonna three deadly ones that this
ends there.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
Oh god, you.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Can't eat Jimmy's gonna be skinny on TV. Not the
way you wanted to.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Be scared on the good way. Not not in a
good way. All right, So give me one more about
the book One Nation always under So.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Think about it.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Say I named Horatio Stafford, who loses his children at sea.
He believes that in spite of the tragedy, the misery
he's going through, there's something that can come out of
it positive. He starts building institutions of foundations for poor
kids and transforms thousands upon thousands of kids' lives. And

(12:05):
then he pins a hymn that is very popular in
Baptist churches. It is well, it is well with my soul,
he believed Romans eight twenty eight. The somehow, some way,
all these things will work together for good for those
who love God to call according to his purpose. He
found a compass in the middle of tragedy and devastation
that led him to do something for others that he

(12:26):
would not have.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Seen had he not lost his kids.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Didn't make up for the loss of his children, of course,
but he looked for something that would give him purpose
and meaning, and it gave him the chance to strive
again to work for a better, brighter future for himself
and his wife has survived that that that accident.

Speaker 7 (12:42):
That is super powerful stuff.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Since you quoted Romans, I'm just going to give you
one thing and I'll let you run.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
Okay, it's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Uh I can hear the drum roller?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
No, no, but it is funny when my favorite player
growing up was Ricky Henterson on the Yankees. Oh yeah,
of course, we had a pitcher named Tommy John who
was the namesake of Tommy John. Ser When Tommy John pitched,
the guys used to hold up John three sixteen and
the stands behind them. And one day after Yankee game,
Ricky Henderson's get an interview and they said, what do
you think of all the John three sixteen's, And Ricky goes,
I don't want to hear about no John hitting three sixteen.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Ricky's hitting. Love this guy, So you had no idea.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
He thought it was about a bad average pivot. Thank
you the late great Ricky Henderson. But I don't doubt
he is reading One Nation, Always under God right now,
as you.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Can get today at Amazon dot com. Annybody's where books
are sold. Fine books are sold. Indeed, they're all over
the place. I have to tell you the tea regiment
is working. This was a great interview. You sounded great.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I don't know that you should commit to the album
launch today because you got a book to sell, but
stick with it.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
They even Josh shook his head in there.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You sound good. They're usually hard.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Maybe I'll have you on as a guitar.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'll give you sound the facts. Jimmy fill out on drums.
Let's go Amazon dot com.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Uh, there'll be a placeholder there for the album, but
get the book first.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's a man. Thank you, God, bless thanks.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
He's the best of funks across America.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's the best of.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Funks across America with Jimmy Falo.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Shout out to South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. If you've
been listening to this show a long time, you know
I've been talking him up a long time.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Goes all the way back to twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
He has a phenomenal story about essentially the upward mobility
of life in this country. Yes, he's a superstar senator
and he's close to President Trump.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
But you know, I always tell you the people who.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Come on this show that are lawmakers only come on
this show a second time, or a fifth time, or
an eightieth time if they're the same guy off camera.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
Meaning it's one thing to get on TV and be like.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
We got to stop the Democrats, we gotta cut the spending.
But then you get off the air and they're like,
we're actually, uh yeah, I got a hot stock tip
and I'm going out to lunch with a lobbyist.

Speaker 7 (14:49):
You're like, wait, what's going on here? What just happened? Okay?
Tim Scott's the guy.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
We just did a fifteen minute interview and he's just
sat around another five minutes because he had stand up
comedy questions. And it's not the It's funny, you know,
the difference between a politician and someone who just has
a genuine intellectual curiosity. Okay, And those are the people
who care about other people. And that's where I find
his book to be so valuable. Okay, went on sale yesterday.

(15:15):
It's called One Nation, Always under God, Profiles and Christian Courage.
It's a dude who actually is trying to help you. Now,
I say that's my superpower. It's also my kryptonite, because
I'm not here trying to blow the country wide open
and make you hate anybody in your family who doesn't
vote the way you do.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
My superpower is that, you know, I'm trying to be
a force multiplier, positive energy, create an environment where people
can coexist even if they don't agree. And I only
feel that way because I'm new to media and I
am applying myself. Okay, It's really easy to become a
one note show that just tells you everybody else sucks.
But at that point you're not helping the world, You're
just helping yourself.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Tim Scott is a guy who genuinely wants to help.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's why in Trump's first administration, he of course got
seventy five billion dollars and opportunity zones for low income
black communities. He helped usher in the First Step Prison
Reform Act, which has now freed over three hundred and
fifty thousand non violent black drug offenders who were sentenced
under the nineteen ninety four Joe Biden Crime Bill. Go figure,

(16:17):
do you have a problem figuring out whether you're PREMI
or Trump and you ain't black? Even now as historically
black colleges and universities get their highest recurring funding endowment
ever courtesy of Donald Trump. He is a guy that
gets out there and has the honest conversation about race
that we need because in this country, so many people
are being sold a message of defeat. You know how

(16:41):
Obama ran on yes we can, Yes we can, Okay,
hope and change, yes we can. Well, the Democrats are
now the party of no we can't. They're telling you
if you're a minority, you can't get ahead, guys. I
just interviewed a black United States center who's a congressman
before that, who's been a best selling author multiple times,
telling you the country systemically racist. One of them was

(17:02):
just the first lady for eight years. The other was
the president for eight years. Okay, if black people can
be president, they can be anything. Shout out to Tim Scott.
I love having him in the studio because there's a
part of him that sort of thinks I know what
I'm doing, and this other part of him that it's like,
you know when your drunk friend gets into a conversation
and you've got to listen extra in case they say

(17:24):
something crazy, and you've got to kind of course correct
the situation. Tim Scott is half radio guest, half bouncer,
but he's got an incredible story, a phenomenal book, and
he's one of the things that makes this country great.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
So I couldn't be prouder.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
To have him on, as I feel about the next
guest joining me when we come back, the host of
Dirty Jobs, an American icon in his own right. I
am talking about Iron Mike Rowe.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Who joins us when we come back.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
The best of Fox Across America, with Jimmy Fayalo and.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
His Fox across America with Jimmy fail to bear with me.
I want to get this intro right. The guest wrote
it himself and slipped it to me. He has a
cultural icon, beloved the world over for his work on
stage and cinema. Please welcome America's Sweetheart, Mike Rowe hot
damn well.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
From a modest from a sweetheart to a cultural icon.
All right, I'll take it. Man, nice job, but it's
hard to be both.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I really think you worded this well because you're showing
the range of micro It's.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Hard to be both at the same time. But you
have to know your audience. From everything I've read, I
think we can settle in for twelve minutes of America's Sweetheart.
There it is.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
But yes, he's the multimedia switch hitter. Maybe some would
say the Mickey Mantle of media, and that's based entirely
on his alcohol consumption.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I was going to say him throw a ball. I
was just going to say the Cookie Rojas of codependency.
There's a reference one of the greatest utility players.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
You dug deep. You want to tell a funny story.
When I started here, I referenced you futility players. Okay,
guy who hired me on FBM was gun named Gary Schreyer.
He said, what do you see a role as Fox?
I said, I'm going to kind of be like a
jose Akendo. Okay, played for the Cardinals. He could play
every position on the field. And he was like, jose
A Kendo was a met and I was like, maybe,
but I knew him as a cardinal in the eighties,
a cardinal, so he was a Met. And it was

(19:13):
a very contentious point in the interview because you know,
the guy's a Met guy.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
You don't have allowed to hang your hat on.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, You've won two things since the moon landing, which
may or may not have happened at this point, but
we'll get into that.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You beat the Oriols in sixty nine, which I still
carry around. Well, we're going to get to the Orioles.
There's a point to this, okay.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
But on the day I started here at Fox, on
my desk, which I have it to this day, was
a jose A Kendo met card from nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
The guy wanted to prove it meant that much to him.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
And still you still cling to it. You still have it?

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Well, it's because I I I remember in a pinch
and I need thirteen cents.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
But see the difference is that guy showed up and
he could do virtually anything, and you show up with
a level of enthusiasm that and I think I said
this to you on my podcast when we first sat
down at chat. A level of enthusiasm the borders between
impressive and suspicious. And I really don't know how you
maintain it. But every single time I've seen you, you're like,

(20:08):
can you believe it? I'm back, I still have an office,
I'm still were the buildings still here, I'm still here.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
If I have told you this, forgive me. Okay, I
am a dog with a job. Have you ever gone
to the airport and you see the dogs sniff in
the bags and he's so excited because he can't believe they're.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Counting on him to say it's the plane. I can't
believe you nuts is amazing. I thought you were going
with the Seinfeld beat with the dogs. Right. All you
have to do is come home and they see you.
They're like, there he is. He's done it again. I
don't know where he went. I don't know what he did,
but he's back, and it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
You've earned none of this praise, You've earned none of
the pray. You just get through that door. There were
serial killers greeted by dogs throughout the years. Are like,
this guy's amazing. Yeah, and he smells like food.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
For some reason, it's you again. I can't believe it. Man,
does he do it?

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Mike Row is here, the Cookie Rojas of media, So
we any way to get back to your orioles. A
guy who goes back and forth with me a lot
on Twitter, Jim Palmer, legendary Hall of Fame Pitcher, No kidding,
and he's not a huge Fox guy, but he somehow
stumbled across me and likes to take cheap shots at
me and back and forth. Sure, and he ties it.
He filters it through the lens of the Yankees, like

(21:14):
he wants to be talking to a Fox guy.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
But it's like the movie Ghost.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
He uses the Yankees as the Whoopi Goldberg he has
to jump into to communicate with me, and we go
back and forth. There's a lot of jokes about his
underwear commercials. So let me tell you I got a couple.
Jim Palmer risks.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
The first is he reached out to me early on
in the Dirty Jobs days because his father in law
has the most elaborate antique gun collection. Oh and he
really wanted to show these to me. So I told him, look,
I'll put it on the list. But you got to
know that my grandmother is walking around with just a serious,
a serious amount of unrequited affection for you, and one

(21:50):
day I got to get you two together. Yeah, he said,
no problem. Flash forward. My grandmother at ninety falls and
breaks her hip during an Orioles game. She's alone at
my parents and it's condo. She's halfway between the den
where the TV is and the kitchen where she was
going to get herself a high ball. So she's lying
there with a busted hip. The phone's in the kitchen.
She can drag herself to the phone to call nine

(22:12):
one one, or drag herself back to the den to
watch the end of the Orioles game. Stop it. She
drags herself back to the den. My mother finds her
lying there with a busted hip, writes an open letter
to Peter DeAngelo's and puts it in the Sun Paper.
Three months later, my grandmother throws out the first pitch

(22:32):
at an Oriole game, and I take her up to
the booth and introduce her to Jim Palmer and he
hugs her and kisses her on the mouth. You stop
it right square, and Filma Noble died and went to heaven.
And that's my contribution to my family tree. Thank you,
Jim Palmer. Oh, that's an amazing Jim Palmer.

Speaker 7 (22:53):
Story that made the whole thing up. But no, it's true.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
It was true my hand to God, and it's in
my mom's first book. My mother wrote every day for
sixty years, Jimmy, and finally got a book published at eighty.
I swear to god. She's had four New York Times
bestsellers since then? Is that? And that story's in her
first book? Peggy, Peggy Row that it matters. Yeah, I
don't have the writer. I had a grandma who did that.

(23:22):
She ran five miles a day till she was ninety five.
We can't find her. She's out there, some my grandma faila.
She's out there like Forrest Gump with a smiley face,
booking across the bridge. We're talking to mic Row.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
He now claims Earl Weaver was his biological father. This
is a really confusing interview for me. If you guys
can just put me muscle through.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I just love how you summed this up so far
as an interview. That's hysterical. That's amazing.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
All right, we'll to give me two minutes of press
on your new project, People you Should Know. We discussed
it on an award winning show called Fox New Saturday
Night this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
That was an amazing appearance. I'm still waiting through the
comments that have completely lit up all the socials based
on a witty rep parte. The show in question is
called People You Should Know. It airs exclusively on my
YouTube channel. Why because my god, our business is collapsing
and getting a show made today it's a knife fight

(24:20):
and a phone booth. And so what I did was
I went back and I looked at a show called
Returning the Favor that I did for Facebook once upon
a Time, a celebration of the neighbors you wish you
had right And that show was viewed four hundred and
fifty million times. I won an Emmy for the damn
da you know. And Facebook canceled it and nothing personal.

(24:43):
They just decided they weren't going to compete with Netflix
after all. But I had two million people watching this
show and for three years they've been up my butt
saying when are we going to bring it back? So
the show's back. It's called People you Should Know. And
every episode, you know what, it's going to be called
a feel good show because it kind of is. But

(25:04):
the truth is it's the making of a feel good show.
So it's worts and all right, it's all the mistakes,
it's all the fun of getting this kind of thing
off the ground. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll drink, you'll
go to the next town with him, do it again.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
And to be clear, it's village People you should Know.
The hot cop is there, the chief is there.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, we can only had we only had the budget
for one guy, but five constans. So we're mix we're bullish,
that's right.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
He mixes it up a little bit.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
We talk.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
He's an Indian with a hard day. He does it all.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
This guy he's talking about range, we're talking about your range.
Since see Larry, the one construction worker we have. I'm
dying micro. I think it's funny. I also love that
the Village People got a bit of a rebirth.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
This is a thing.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I don't have a political conversation, but I have a
take on Trump. Okay, when it comes to dancing, Donald
Trump famously is a teetotaler. He does not drink, correct,
but he does the YMCA like someone who does, meaning
the drunkest person you know can do.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
The y m c A. Interesting.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
The fact that he just does the hands would usually
be a tell to you that your buddy can't drive tonight.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
If your buddy's doing this to ymc A might even
be pukick by the end of the night.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Isn't that fasting? Well, it's it's it's it's completely backwards.
You're right, you're right. But look the fact that he's
out there doing that with seemingly out it's just he's out,
he's he's out of dams to give.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Yeah, that's just doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
You want to know what, that's a testament to the
fact that he invented a dance for a song that
already has one so beautiful has been the y m
c A for AE hundred and fifty years, seventy five years.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Right, So, rather than commit to a fairly elaborate expression
of four letters in our alphabet, I'm just going to
move my hips a little Yeah, just do a little
thing yet and that's just this is what you get.
He simplified it for everyone. Is what he did. He
made ym he accessible. He dozed to the.

Speaker 8 (27:03):
You just did it.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
We're gonna lose the vows then to considens. I oh,
all this left of my hips?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
They Dogedyoca. It's got too many letters. Who has time
for that many letters.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'd like to buy a valve. We're out.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
The inefficiency is gone, at least at a musical level
in the United States government, I think is the takeaway
from this interview.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I think we need more music in the government. I
think we need more music in a cabinet.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't think they should be doing anything bus you know,
it's in a weird way. Everyone does so much press
now at a government level that their words have lost
any and all meeting because we're not We're only going
to focus on them for as long as it takes
to get the next statement out of them, which in
this day and age is like thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I had a meeting last week with the Department of Education,
me lynmock Man and a room full of people, and
it was a great meeting went on for about an hour.
We discussed make education great again. So Mega it's coming.
But in the middle of the meeting, I confess I thought,
what this meeting needs is a is an aria, a

(28:08):
modest one, but just something. Just we needed a musical
interlude because there was just too much talking fair just
not much, just like like salt, just a little something
to mix it up.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
There's value in that reset, you know, because you get
the back from break energy to the meeting.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Think about the movies that you used to see when
you were a kid, like when the popcorn came out.
It's not much, it's just a little to you know,
clear the palletpheric exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
That was my biggest criticism of those isis beheading videos
that they put on YouTube. I was like, you know what, guys,
you can't buy a royalty free music bed.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Just a little something to set the stage, dude, I
don't think. But I'm constantly looking for where the line
is that you found it. Yeah, well, I will.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Say, okay about the depraved age we're living in is
if something has views, it has advertising. And I'm so
fascinated how there's this overlay between Like I guess that
you know, distinguished products and the most depraved things man
could ever witness now coexist simultaneously in an advertising space.

(29:20):
I don't and I don't think that's good commentary on society.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Well, look, there's always going to be there's going to
be an eternal dance between entertainment slash artistry versus the
transactional realities of filthy lucra. But I know, like with
this show that I'm going to shamelessly plug again people.
You should know on my YouTube channel. I'm late to
this party, and I ignored YouTube for years whatever, and

(29:45):
so for the last six months, you know, smart people
sat me down and said, Mike, what you need to
do is you need to get a million people on
your YouTube page. So I did. But I hate to
think like that. Yeah, Like I hate to go out
into the world going what can I do today to
do this? Yeah? But you know something, It's like at
Disney the sign says you must be this tall to
get on the ride. And if you want to play

(30:07):
this game today, you better understand that you work I
don't know who signs your checks, but you don't really
work for Fox, dude. You work for the people who
watch you. Yeah, and I know you know that. Yeah, yeah,
but you know that's a bitter lesson to learn and
it's a hard thing to really take to heart. But
if you want to play, you better understand it.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
So yeah, now that's spot on, and you're right to
say that I do work for the loan sharks from
my taxi days. So we're watching right now and going
it's almost Thursday payday.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Do taxis still work like that? Like back in the day,
you would give them, what two three hundred bucks and
you'd start your shift. Yeah, and then you'd.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
Rent the cab for a shift.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
So in the heyday when the medallion was worth money
million one when I started, when you rent a day
shift or for a buck eight, you'd rent a night
for like one thirty six. Weekend was one fifty four, Yeah,
and it was basically yours for twelve hours minus gas
that your take home pay. What two things decimated the
value of the medallion. Bloomberg coming along because they were

(31:07):
a finite amount of them. They were about eleven thousand
of them. Bloomberg issued ten thousand new ones in the
name of clean energy. They were called green taxis, with
the premise being they were only going to pick up
in the outer burrows to lessen pollution in those neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
But of course, if you pick a guy up.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
In Brooklyn and drove into Manhattan, you're going to pick
up the next fair you see, You're not going to
drive back to Brooklyn empty, of course. So that kind
of killed the medallion value. And then when Uber came along,
you know, basically created more drivers. It didn't increase the
amount of passengers, just created more drivers and gigged out
the gig What about.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
The uh what about the weather? I mean last night,
all of a sudden it's pouring down raining. You know,
it's a twenty minute wait for an Uber. I didn't
even try lyft and there's not a single light on
any of the cabs. Like when it's raining and you're
driving a cab, is this like holiday for you?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Oh yeah, everybody jumps in, but it's also a lot
of short fares because it might just somebody doesn't want
to go eight blocks. So you actually make a lot
of money though, because I'm turnover, because everybody gets in.
You know what I'm saying, it's you get the three
point fifty on the meter, the dollar surg charge the
fuel thing, you know, thing, and so the turnover is
good if you keep it, if you keep moving short
fair style like that.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
I just like that you've taken over this exchange. You're
now interviewing me.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
That's the power of micro Do you think that? I
often like and the three years I spent in the
middle of the night from nineteen ninety to ninety three
selling things on the QBC cable shopping channel. I bitched
about that for a long time and then I like
just erased it from my memory. And then I found
a video that people had posted of me from those days,

(32:37):
and then I kind of embraced it. And then I
eventually realized that every worthwhile thing I learned about my
career today, and how did I become America's sweetheart Jimmy?
How did I become a global icon? Every single thing
that was useful I learned there? How much of what?
How much of your success today goes back to lessons

(32:58):
learned in the cash Yeah?

Speaker 7 (32:59):
I would say like nine percent of it, did that?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Crazy? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Of course, the stuff that you learn at the absolute
bottom because a lot of it's human nature.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, And it's the.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Only thing you can pay attention to because you're not
swimming into any other circles. You know, you're on the
outside of a lot of circles, and you're deducing things
in your observations.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
This is why you're going to go as far as
you want to go. Man, you and I said this
to you before you you either there are two kinds
of people. There are the kind of people that look
at the lower rungs on the ladder with derision and
a smirk, and they're the kind of people who go,
I would never have gotten anywhere without that. You need
that wrung, man. And that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
If someone calls you an overnight success, it just means
you work the overnight shift for like twelve.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Hours, or it means you're well rung. Hey, Mike Row,
he's still got it.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
That's why he's a married You want to talk about
people you should know.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
You should know Mike Row, You should you know me.
It's almost sort of maybe like that I grow on you.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Oh fantastic the radio cyst Mike grow It was nice
to have you.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
It's nice to be ahead, but I prefer carbuncle. Yeah. Oh,
you'll always be benign to me.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
There it goes.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
It's the best of a Fox across America with Jimmy Saylor.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
How about a hand from Mike Rowe.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Oh you stop at He's the best the film people.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
You should know.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
It is on his YouTube channel. You should follow him
on Twitter. I've said this to you before in the
show he was the He interviewed me on his podcast
if you've never seen it, it's the best thing I've
ever been a part of. It was about eight hours
and twelve. We went at it for a while. It
was really funny, and he was a guy who opened
my eyes to a lot of things that would surface

(34:44):
because he interviewed me right when I got a TV
show Fox New Saturday Night, and having been a guy
who hosted so many successful TV shows, he had a
really good understanding of what I was going to start
encountering on a day to day basis. Is a guy
who is the face of a TV show on a
channel as big as Fox. And when I tell you everything,
every piece of advice he gave me was like spot on.

(35:05):
It was like a Yoda, you know, like if it
wasn't as good look and as Yoda, I can't come on.
We're having fun over here. He's the man. How about
my man Mike Rowe telling it like it is something
you might not know from listening to that best of interview.
Here on this Labor Day spectacular is my wife's family, huge, huge,
huge micro fans and came up to Fox to meet

(35:26):
him after the interview. Dave and Judy, my in laws
were in town, which was amazing to me just to
have him out of my house for the day. So
shout out to Mike Rowe for saving my afternoon and
for being a big star of this best of episode.
But in hour number two, it's really gonna get nuts,
So get your game face on. It's a Labor Day
best of episode of Fox Across America with your main man,

(35:49):
Jimmy Fala. You better put the ketchup on that hot
dog now because we're about to get into some conversations
that could very well end with you squirting it on yourself.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
From everywhere USA. It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayala.
It's the best of Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayler.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Out Here we go.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Here we go, our number two of a Fox across
America Labor Day Spectacular. We're running a best of episode
and I know some people say best of what Jimmy,
we listen to this show.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
There are no greatest hits.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
This is like Chumbawamba putting out a double box set. Well, listen,
like Chumbawamba. The show gets knocked down a lot, but
it gets right back up again. And one of the
reasons why is because we have phenomenal guests like this
gentleman who is joining us at the tippy top of
the hour. He is a superstar on the longest running
comedy show in cable news. No, I'm not talking about

(36:44):
Jake Tapper show on CNN. I am talking about Impractical
Jokers and James murr. Murray made all kinds of headlines
the last time he was on our show, something to
do with a train set he may or may not
have opened at his home.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Here he is now to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Brace yourself because canons are gonna go off when I
say his name, and then they'll of course do the
pyrotechnics and the doves. He is one of the founding
members of the tender Loins, you know them on TV
as Impractical Jokers. It is a high honor to have
James Murray on the show. Hot Damn, What's up, man,
what's up?

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Buddy?

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Here? Are you better? Now? You're always good for morale.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
You're one of those very few people in TV that
are universally good for morale. I've never seen you on
a show here at Fox where the staff wasn't happy
you were there.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Okay, well that's good to know that a good rep
there at the network.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Well, that's the point is keep handing out those percocets
in the green room.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's working.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
I know, well, you know it works.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I don't have to tell you. Isn't it funny though?

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Because his comics were actually not nearly as debauched as
what we thought this was gonna be. Like I was
at a meeting this morning and I said, I grew up,
you know, assuming that every green room in Hollywood was
like cocaine and like a backstage at a Led Zeppelin show.

Speaker 7 (37:55):
And then you get there and people are intermittent.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Fasting and talking about their pilates class. It's actually kind
of disappointing behind the scenes, isn't it?

Speaker 8 (38:03):
It is very funny. I was on tour this weekend.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
I chose in Rochester and uh, before it was show,
I'm just down there.

Speaker 8 (38:09):
Doing like two hundred push ups to get pumped for
the show. That's it. It's just it's just me, my cousin.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
My employee Ethan, just sitting around on our cell phones
and I'm doing push ups.

Speaker 9 (38:22):
No.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I love that cause I don't even for real, I
don't even drink on stage because my drinking brain isn't
as quick as my comedy brain. And it's funny. I
made a joke. I was in Reno. I know nobody
likes the show off, but I was in Reno this
past weekend. Uh, and I can't I have a special
reverence for Reno because the movie King Pin End's there
with Yeah, that's probably By the way, can we just agree,

(38:44):
I think big Arn McCracken is the best best Bill
Murray roll.

Speaker 10 (38:49):
Uh you know, you know, am better than Groundhog Day
or or Peter Veikman.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I know.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
I love big Ern McCracken. Like we could, you know,
we could argue this the whole interview. I'm very I'm
a big fan of big Ern. I love him as
a villain, you know. And I think big Ern is
probably the closest to the real Bill Murray of all
the characters he's played.

Speaker 8 (39:15):
Oh, that's a difficult question still Connor's Groundhall Day fans
the guy, I.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Don't want to be fair fair that's fine, and I
can't pick a fight with you because I don't want
to lose my percocets that you hand out the next
time you're hear at Fox.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
So this is that.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
But I was in Reno this weekend and it's funny
because I made a joke on stage at the end
of my set. I do like a Fox News Q
and a like, what do you want to know about Fox?
And I always say, like, you know now that the
whiskey kicked in, I have plausible deniability, but I don't
actually drink.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
And I still got the nasty email after.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
The show going like how dare you show up to
our amphitheater intoxicated and spill the beads.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
It's like there's always one? Is there? Not always one?

Speaker 8 (39:56):
There's always one of everything that's statistical absolute.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
We're talking to the Great James mur Murray his words.
He insists that we call him the great. He wouldn't
come on. That's what actually held up the contract.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
You got to see his writer, man, I negotiated hard
for that, you did?

Speaker 3 (40:14):
I mean this, this is the writer people who haven't
seen his rider. It's you call him the Great and
you have to have a perfect push up in the
green room, and.

Speaker 10 (40:20):
Is Lucky a perfect push Yeah?

Speaker 6 (40:24):
And I insist on you doing a one ass single burpie.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
It's a weird it's a weird request, but he makes
it and we try to be accommodating on the show.
So here we are. Yes, thank you. So give me
this because you're on tour. Where where are they getting tickets?

Speaker 8 (40:44):
Live dot com?

Speaker 6 (40:44):
I'm about to announce my, uh my entire fall schedule too,
where I'm all over the place.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
I'll do like thirty more cities in the fall.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
Get out of here.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Well, if you're off the road, you can see my producer,
Mikey at Flash Dancers.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
He'll be appearing.

Speaker 8 (40:58):
Is he one of the dancers?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Not quite.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
I mean the lights are dark, don't get me wrong.
They're pretty dark over there, but I don't know if
they're that dark. But yeah, I just wanted you to
know you had some entertainment options yourself. But as a
guy who's torn in the country, this is what I
wanted to ask you. I love I love the Midwest,
I love the South. I have a theory that no
one's ever been offended by a joke within twenty miles

(41:21):
of a cracker barrel.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Do you buy into my theory?

Speaker 7 (41:26):
I think this is good analysis.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
Dude, everything in America is within twenty miles of a
cracker barrel.

Speaker 8 (41:33):
Like, that's not true. It's just right now.

Speaker 10 (41:37):
I'm in sure there's three cracker barrels within half a
mile of me.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Good for you.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
I don't have that In New York City, we don't
actually have cracker brow. I have a guy on the
subway who calls me a cracker every morning when I
get on, but I don't actually have the restaurant. I
don't get the dumplings. I don't get the thirty pound
kitcat like you do, Murray.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
That's why you're in a good mood. You live by
the cracker general.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
Yeah, I like your general theory. Okay, I think he
was in the wrong establagement. I don't think it's cracker barrel.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
I think people are play jokes within twenty miles of
a waffle.

Speaker 7 (42:11):
House, which is odd because in waffle house.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Some of the greatest fistfights you'll ever witness are taking place.

Speaker 5 (42:18):
Right now.

Speaker 8 (42:20):
Some of the best comedy going around.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
So you're gonna die.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
So I'm doing events with Sean Hannity here at Fox
because sometimes I try to help the little people get
a start.

Speaker 7 (42:32):
You know what I'm saying. I'm taking him under my wing.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
I could really see this panning out for him if
he sticks with this TV and radio thing. But he
was asking me about going to waffle House because he
loves waffle House.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
He goes, you go to waffle House after the show.
I go, dude, I don't have.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
The handspeed to go to waffle house after the show.
I'm like, I can go before the show, five o'clock
waffle house. I'm fine, but a one am waffle house.
I don't have the jam. Yeah it's great, but I
don't have the jam.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Better you do?

Speaker 8 (43:00):
You kind of take It's my best night ever. You know,
I don't do the flash chanters anymore.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Do you remember the late great Kevin Meanie, the comedian?
Of course, yeah, the great.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
So the first time I opened for Mini, we were
in Atlanta, and he took me to waffle House at
like two in the morning. And I don't know what
brought this performative enthusiasm out of him, but he stood
on a chair in a waffle house and did his
set for the local waffle house clientele in Roswell, Georgia
at two am. And yes, it was the greatest night

(43:32):
of my life. He might have been under the influence
of I don't know what. I don't know how Mini rolled,
but he performed with the same level of commitment you'd
expect in the theater. And what happened is I'm not
kidding Mr. He literally did like thirty five minutes and
it was like the crowd had turned over to the
point that it was like the pimps that the pimps
are scared of were starting to come in now. And

(43:54):
so I didn't know how to get myself out of it.
I really did this. I did the old light him
with my and he was so committed. He saw the
light and nodded at me like I'll rap. And he
got off stage.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
After doing it all on.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
He didn't sing We all the World, but he got
off on one of his John Benet Benet jokes and
we got.

Speaker 7 (44:11):
Out of there live.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
You know my business in waffle house, I do it
all the time. Many waffle houses gross America have a
juke box in him and an old school juke box.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
So what do you do is you eat your meal,
you have a lovely waffle, enjoy the show that is
waffle house, and then as you go to leave, you
go up the jukebox.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
They all the same tracks on him.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
You put a twenty dollars billion, so you get twenty plays,
and you play twenty times in a row.

Speaker 8 (44:36):
Man, I feel like a woman by Shania twenty And.

Speaker 6 (44:42):
Then you walk out the door as the song starts
to play, and you've ruined everyone's lives in.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
And then somehow a Democrat hands you a gold medal
in women's swimming. It's bizarre.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
What a time to be alive.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Oh it's so funny, you know. I think that I
have a theory about this too. Everybody always says like, oh,
you guys, you have it so good now, because there's
so much to work with. I would almost argue, there's
too much to work with, don't you. I almost feel
like as a country, we probably peaked like late early
mid eighties early nineties, like the Chicago Bears Super Bowl shuffle,

(45:19):
when Cosby was held in the good graces of America
pop culture it at zenith.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
We probably peaked.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Around the Super Bowl eighty five, run DMC and Aerosmith
Walk This Way? Could we top that as a country?
I mean back to the future, Back to the future.

Speaker 6 (45:33):
Well, yeah, I mean you had the eighteen on tv
mcgivers all the age, Yo, good Pee Wee's Big Adventure,
mar Louiz.

Speaker 8 (45:42):
I just washed the duck today. I finished it.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
Oh and it was so good. Mark Holton.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Mark Holton, who plays Francis Buxton, the Bike Thief, is
a good friend of our show. He listens down in Tulsen.
We drag him on from time to time. He's stole
Pee Wee's bike. So since we brought it up, uh,
my favorite. Probably the best thing that ever happened to
me here at Fox News. One day as I was
filling I was on a show with Roaldo Rivera and
I did a lot of shows with him because I
was also when I don't host radio, I was the

(46:08):
guy that trimmed his mustache.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
They would that was like part of you.

Speaker 8 (46:11):
Talk about which is actually what you went to school for?

Speaker 7 (46:14):
Yeah, I went to well Nassau Community.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
I mean it's a little more noble than what I
went to school for. We majored in Nintendo and a
B minor in Heraldo's mustache.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
So we were on I was filling it.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
On the five and we were talking about movie props
and a girl said if she could have any prop
from any movie, it would be pee wee Herman's bicycle.
So I made a joke everyone could make, which is, well,
you're out of luck because it's in the basement of
the Alamo. Ha ha, okay, Haraldo, here's it and goes
Alamo in San Antonio and I go, yo, Horoaldo, how

(46:52):
many Alamos?

Speaker 1 (46:52):
You know? Dude? They're like, a did you ever hear
remember the Alamo? And they're like, which one you know?

Speaker 8 (47:00):
Is that a chain? It's no, it's no waffle house.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
He thought.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
I was shouting out the car rental remember the Alamo.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Ando's like, yeah, those are some good Toyota Corollas.

Speaker 8 (47:10):
I have hurt gold membership.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
I don't want that. I can't remember the Alamo hurts.
They'll get mad. Murray, you still got it?

Speaker 11 (47:17):
Man?

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Uh, they gotta go see you love you gotta come
do my TV show when you're in town.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
Well, sure, dude, I'll love to come by anyone of
the Cross America get us you get some murder love
dot Com and come visit my train club, one of
America's oldest, longest running model railroad clubs.

Speaker 8 (47:33):
We see the club from extinction. Uh.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
We bought it the night before it went on public sale.
It's called the Civic Southern Railway. It's flipping awesome.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
All right?

Speaker 7 (47:42):
Can I just jump in here?

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Murrhy, because that was in the notes I had for
this interview, and I wasn't sure if you were effing
with me. I'm here, I know, I'm looking. I'm like,
it's a real thing, but I.

Speaker 10 (47:53):
Wasn't unbelievable in the bags of right now there the
layout was bigger than the house itself. I knocked out
a fum and kept going, no, no, I love this.
I love this so much, and I.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Would have led with it, but I wasn't half shore
if you were punking them, because all right, just double
check in. But so everybody knows, okay, it's the Pacific
Southern Railway was nearly shut down.

Speaker 7 (48:16):
Merrs swooped in and saved the day.

Speaker 8 (48:18):
And now the night before it was.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
Being forced to put up for sale, and someone's gonna take, say,
get the heck out of the house. My wife and
I bought it and saved the club. It's in the
basement right now below me. It's unbelievable. It's five thousand
square feet of layout, twelve thousand feet of track.

Speaker 8 (48:33):
It's a nonprofit. You can join, become a member anywhere
in the world. We have virtual memberships. Got to Pacificsouthern
dot org. And it's taxaducticle because the charity, it's a charity.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
They donate all their proceeds to fire and EMT workers
here in Jersey.

Speaker 8 (48:48):
It's pretty damn cool.

Speaker 9 (48:49):
Man.

Speaker 7 (48:50):
Well, it's so cool that I should have led with it.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
But I think part of the problem with being a
notorious prankster Murr is some people don't know he's got
the shirt on. I'm watching it on the Fox Nation cameras.
If you're listening on the radio, this is a real thing.
Give the Oh no, now he's walking on camera. Down
Are you about to show me trains?

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh my god?

Speaker 8 (49:09):
Downstairs here Now.

Speaker 7 (49:11):
We're getting a guided towards you see, we're.

Speaker 8 (49:13):
Going to loop reception.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
We'll see you are already losing reception. But you sound good.
And this is still amazing.

Speaker 6 (49:18):
It's just miles and miles of model railroads.

Speaker 7 (49:21):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
But he still sold this idea to me as if
I was a kid and he pulled up in a
white van. He's like, come here, you want to see
some trains, But look at the trains.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
They're amazing. I'm not gonna go to you for the basement.
It's reception, but it's.

Speaker 7 (49:35):
That is amazing. We love it.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
I'm gonna lose you, but we're gonna do this again soon.
James mur Murray has all of those trains. I would
never tell you to go to a man's basement, but
James Murmurray is the one guy. He's the one basement.
I endorse ladies and gentlemen. Great stuff. Brother, Thanks, we'll
catch up soon. The great James murrh Murray, everybody, buddy.

(50:03):
Awkward situation because he's downstairs looking at all those trains,
and as he's walking through his basement, I saw Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Was that bizarre? It was a man.

Speaker 7 (50:13):
It's still locked up. He's in Merg's basement now.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I can't put a shout out to Murray, a shout
out to impractical jokers, and a shout out to you
for sticking around, and you better stick around, damn it.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
I need the ratings be back after this. He's the
best of Fox Across America. Festive Fox Across America with
Jimmy Taylor.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
There it is Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayala running
back out to the calls real quick. Hillsdale, Michigan is
where you find John today. Yo, John, Yeah, excuse me, Jimmy, Yes,
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
I love it. What's happening out in Hillsdale? My man,
talk to me.

Speaker 12 (50:44):
I gotta know, hey, hey, I would look out earlier
this morning when you guys were talking about those riots out.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
In La Yep.

Speaker 12 (50:51):
And you know me, just gonna tramp on Trump anytime
he gets the chance, even if there sending two thousand
people in there and then to a guard or marine
or whatever. They should just ten ten thousand troops, grab
them all, take it right to the border, throw them across,
let the media and see it, let them see they're
not messing around anymore, and just get it done with.

(51:13):
They're gonna bitch no matter what.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah they are.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
I mean, listen, the truth is the guys that are
throwing on the uniforms are already risking their lives to
deport these people and apprehend them. The idea that anyone's
making a case for throwing rocks at them is insane.
But you know what, Listen, if we can somehow manage
to do this without any real casualties, there is a
net benefit to the Democrats going to bat for all

(51:37):
of these illegal criminals because people see it and they
realize where their priorities lie, and they're doing the Republicans
a favor. But my concern is not the Republicans. My
concern is the local business owner. It's the local family
in these towns, you know, right, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 13 (51:52):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 12 (51:53):
That the sooner they get it done, the better they're
going to complain anyhow, Just get it over with.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
So, John, you are saying, yeah, talked to Tom Homan
a lot on this show. Do you want me to
tell Homan to step on the gas? Is that what
you're telling me.

Speaker 12 (52:05):
I don't think you need I don't think he needs
to be told that. He already knows that.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
I love Tom, But you want to all hands on that.

Speaker 12 (52:14):
Yeah, I'm a disabled that so I know. I spent
nine years in the military, so I know what. I
know what these guys are going through and how bad
that is. But I believe me they would probably be saying, yes,
get it done, get.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
It over with. That's what the people the truth are
you saying.

Speaker 7 (52:26):
Yeah, I know, I think I think they're with you.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
I mean, you put on that uniform because this was
a country worth fighting for. And if citizenship means nothing
and we're all just supposed to fit the foot the
bill for whatever illegal migration the Democrats want to bring in,
then that's kind of a you know, a kick in
the nuts to what you stood for so exactly.

Speaker 12 (52:42):
Yeah, I mean, it's just it's incredible. I remember when
I was stationed in Elmondorf Fair Force Space, and right
after Ronald Reagan got this is going to aige me
got elected his second term. We he came to Alaska,
to Elmendorf.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
The whole city.

Speaker 12 (52:56):
Was nothing but flying flags. I mean, the whole place
was just incredib I mean, I wish I could have
recorded it. I'll patriotic, everything was right now.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Yeah, I loved good old fashioned civic pride, and yes.

Speaker 7 (53:07):
I love Reagan too.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
I was a little younger than you in that era,
but I was drinking like I was your age, So
don't worry about it. Shout out to James MH. Murray,
although I'm still not going into that basement with him.
I love that guy, but it's a little weird. I
don't accept a lot of basement invites. Nowhere in the
world on this Labor Day, is there a man'd be
better off if only he spent more time in stranger's basements? Okay,

(53:30):
I just call me old fashion, but ever since the
Biden campaign, I resent basement life after we elected the
guy who was down there watching Bonanza for a year
and a half. That being said now is not about me,
Joe Biden or James mur Murray, because when we come
back a Saturday Night Live superstar that you will undoubtedly
remember from the expertise he wielded at the weekend up

(53:52):
Date desk, I am talking about the great Kevin Nielan
who joins us after this on Fox across America.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
It's the best of Fox Across America with Jimmy Sali.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Having read Hair growing Up? Did that make you insecure? Yes?
And I hated the way I looked. I hated having.

Speaker 8 (54:13):
Still I.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
How do you do it? How do you do it?
I'm just trying to get through this wall that I
agreed to meet with you. I agreed to meet with
you for just a friendly walk, and then it turned
into this web series this. Yeah, I didn't you know.

Speaker 12 (54:32):
I thought, oh, finally Kevin's gonna connect with me as
a human being.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
And uh, you've got a non union camera.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
One part entertainment, one part affordable therapy session for some
famous people we know and love. It is, of course,
Hiking with Kevin. It is streaming on Fox Nation. The
Great Kevin Neelan joins us. Now, Hey man, Hey Jimmy,
how are you good. I love you helping Conan through
the tough times. I thought that was a nice touch. Well,
he you know, talked about therapy. I mean, you know,

(55:01):
I'm gonna have to start charging pretty soon.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
We love the series.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
We've been watching promos here on the channel on this team,
so we're really excited to get you on. I just
have to give you a little background on that, and
I have to give the audience background because I was told,
I was credibly informed that you're performing in Middletown, Florida
at the Tracy Performing Arts Center. Can you confirm I'm
confirming that. Indeed, Yes, breaking news. Put the chiron up
on the bottom of the screen. We've got Neelan in

(55:27):
Middletown and that matters, man, And I think that is
so awesome. And one thing we should tell the American
people is you were did you you were? You were
at the SNL fiftieth reunion. So there's a good yeah,
I know, and there's a good chance people can still
get a contact high from seeing you tonight.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Well I think so.

Speaker 11 (55:43):
I mean they can get a contact high from seeing
me and weeds, you know, And that's a.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Lot of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon applies to
Kevin Neilan as well.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I love this.

Speaker 7 (55:56):
That is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Well, the show is again, as I said, hiking with Kevin,
It's all over Fox Nation. Were really excited about it.
Give me this, Kevin Neeland because we've all we all
watched you. We're all so super familiar with everything you
do and we love it and it's a thriller to
have you on. So I want to know a little
bit of I want to hike with Jimmy for a minute.
Can I get some Neil in the origin story out
of you?

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (56:15):
Who was Yeah? Who was your guy?

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Like before you became an international comedy superstar on You're
on SNL did you have a guy that you were
watching growing up, like a Rodney d or somebody.

Speaker 11 (56:26):
I had a couple of I've had a couple of
people that I really enjoyed watching, and one of them
was Andy Kaufman because you know, just the insanity and
the psychological warfare he played on stage with the audience,
you know, I just you never knew what was coming
up with him. So I like that, and I think

(56:46):
that had an influence on some of my acts to
this day. And then there was also Steve Martin at
the time, and Albert Brooks was afraid of mine, so
you know these I think those three kind of influenced
me a lot.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Although, well, you know, I.

Speaker 11 (57:00):
Love comedy, so I I saw it a lot of
comics growing up, and I would read their jokes and
listen to them watching watch them on all the talk shows.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
So I was just enamored with that.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Yeah, it's the coolest thing to immerse yourself, and especially
if you grew up around like street jokes, Like I
heard a lot of street jokes in my house, and
it was just it was just such atmospherically. If you
understand comedy when you're young, it's like the greatest superpower
you could ever take with you in life.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Oh yeah, yeah, especially.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
For everything else you come up, like in terms of
adversity and stuff. The ability to laugh at yourself and
laugh at things I think is so helpful. But let
me throw this one at you.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Then.

Speaker 7 (57:34):
Kevin Neilan is on the line, by the way.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
And if you're down in Florida and we've got a
bunch of stations down there, Middletown, Florida, you could see
Neilan at the Tracy Performing Arts Center, bring some singles,
little greenery for the scenery.

Speaker 7 (57:45):
I mean there's going to be the dance at the end, right.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
Yesdtown or it Sumterville, Oh Dylan my producer Fedbey Middletown.
I'll double check this right now. Dylan will be tried
at the Hague if he got that wrong.

Speaker 11 (57:57):
Don't you dare where I'm today in Middletown.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
You know what always happens, And you know this.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
If you're on the road, you're do in a theater
or something, it's very possible that the theater is in
one town and the hotels in another, and you've committed
to one of those towns for both venues.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
In your head, does that make sense, right.

Speaker 11 (58:20):
Yeah, it could be in a town that's like a
suburb of the bigger town.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
You know, you know what to clarify to go full
Hollywood squares, it is Sumterville and it's Middleton in the villages,
so you're there, you go both technically correct. Let's go
to Jim J. Bullock for the block. This is amazing.
Have you ever done this? This is a funny touring
thing that happens to me. Back to the that that

(58:46):
point I was making about putting both venues in the
same town, but you haven't, okay, meaning you were wrong
to do it. Last week, I was in Royal Oak, Michigan,
and I had flown into Detroit to get there. My
hotel was in a town called Troy. Now, in my head,
I thought that meant I was like three miles from
an airport. I was twenty nine miles away from when

(59:07):
I woke up that morning, and it was Yeah, it
was all because of my own like bombacity of like
I know where stuff is. And have you gotten better
at that because you've been touring and you know, dominating
for a while.

Speaker 7 (59:19):
Because I suck at it. This is new to me.

Speaker 11 (59:22):
Well, I'm constantly looking at my itinerary and constantly rechecking
to make sure that it's not two hours away, you know.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Instead of four hours away. You know.

Speaker 11 (59:31):
So I'm constantly on that, but I am not at home.
I'm not good with that. I will, you know, not
ask for directions and who really peas off my wife?
But I think that's a guy thing. But yeah, I'm
totally trying to. Like this morning, my alarm went off
and I jumped out of bed. I literally my whole
body listed about two feet up in the air. I

(59:51):
was so startled by it, and I kind of looked
at the clock and for some reason, I thought, oh
my god, I was supposed to get up an hour ago,
and I'm hustling to get out of it. And then
I look at the clock again. I go, no, no, no, this
is right. I will like do everything to make sure
it's right, even like remembering things, Jimmy, I looked the
laptop on a plane once and it just traumatized me.
You know, to this day, I have an i'm OCD.

(01:00:12):
I'll put things in my in my backpack and I
won't remember I did it, and I'll get back to
the hotel.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
I go, oh, please be in here, please be in here.
And you know, it's not that I lose things, It's
just that I forget that I did not lose them.

Speaker 7 (01:00:23):
Well, I will tell you this right now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I carry a vial of arsenic around just in case
I leave my laptop on a plane.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
I got, I got big problems. That's funny.

Speaker 11 (01:00:33):
You got it, man, Yeah, you might want to try
instead of arsenic, maybe you know, ease into a little
bit more with some you know, out avan or something.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Oh my goodness, hiking with Kevin. It's streaming on Fox Nation.
We're doing some coping with Kevin right now. He's basically
staging an intervention for me. And I appreciate that when
you get out, when you get out there in the
woods on these hikes, right I would have mad with
the woods and the hills and everything like that. I
would have made there's something very liberating about this experience.

Speaker 7 (01:01:03):
Is it easier to get people to open up in
that forum?

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
You know what mean? You're right? It is.

Speaker 11 (01:01:07):
And I noticed that when I was hiking alone before
all this, I would go past these groups of people hiking,
and I would hear the most intimate revelations from these
people going by them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
And interesting things too.

Speaker 11 (01:01:20):
One time, this guy had about I don't know seven
kids following them and he was like a professor who
was talking about the black hole and it was so interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
I joined the group.

Speaker 11 (01:01:28):
I've kind of know with them, But yeah, I think
it's a lot more less intimidating. And they're outside too,
so the endorphins are going and it's just me. And
the thing that kind of surprises me the most is
that some of these people I don't even know, I've
never met them before, and they're willing to go out
in the middle of the woods with me alone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
There's something to be said about your personal energy then,
because that is very a very complimentary response to the query,
because I don't doubt we both have mutual friends in
comedy that we wouldn't go to the woods with ourselves.

Speaker 11 (01:02:04):
Yeah, you know, I would say maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Often I'll be walking with somebody.

Speaker 11 (01:02:11):
I'll say let's get down this little trail here, and
they'll be leading it and they'll turn around. It's like
that movie they say, you're not going to be whacked me, now,
are you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
You're not going to whack me when I'm not listening.
That's but yeah, most of them are really good.

Speaker 11 (01:02:26):
I mean I when I asked them to do it,
I ran out of friend's hike with some just you know,
writing letters of publicists and I'll give a list of
all the people that have hiked with most of them
and they'll see that and they go, well, I guess
they're all still alive.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
So yeah, I'll do it.

Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
That's what you put on there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
It's not even about like this is who's watching the episode.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
This is what we've promoted for them. They lived, I
know it.

Speaker 11 (01:02:47):
And you know, there are some some of the hikers
I went with that have passed on, and it's kind
of nice to have that hikes to, like Bob Sagant
and Karl.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Webbers, so it's kind of like, you know, a living icons.

Speaker 7 (01:03:02):
Yeah, it's amazing, and they're both such badasses.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
It's funny about Carl Weathers's you know, generation of people
my age and forty eight grew up. Obviously we knew
him as Apollo Creed, but in comedy he's so lethal
in like the Sandler movies and everything.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
Yeah, yeah, next level. He had great comedy chops.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Give me this because I did see you interviewed Tiffany
Hattish so Hattish, me and her had a really outrageously
funny moment. There was like a fanatics convention here in
New York, which is you know, sport thing. Tom Brady's there,
jay Z It's pretty crazy, and Tiffany Hattish was on
the red carpet and just ate me alive over the
pink jacket I was wearing. But in a way that

(01:03:41):
I appreciated, because I try to explain this to people,
like we we both trust each other for five minutes,
but from the best angle possible in that it was endearing.
But I try to explain this to people, and I
want your take on this. I always tell folks that
comedy is not an alpha gig, meaning we're supposed to
be making fun of ourselves.

Speaker 7 (01:03:59):
We're supposed to oukome being the victim of a joke.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Because I think the guy that showed me the way,
like my guy really was Rodney Dangerfield, and like his
whole hook was that he got no respect. He wasn't
like positing himself as alpha. He was positing himself as
like the outside look it in. Do you think that
is kind of lost on modern comics or maybe they
know it, but they should be emphasizing it more.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Well, that's a good point.

Speaker 11 (01:04:21):
I think, you know, Rodney was also kind of self
deprecating and and I think a lot of comics kind
of have that self deprecation now, but you know, there
isn't one that really stands out. But I think Brad
Garrett is kind of like the Don Rickles of our age,
which is difficult, you know, lying to tread right now
with yeah, with all things on being politically correct and
all that there's, but yeah, I don't I can't think

(01:04:44):
of anybody like Rodney right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
No, now, he's a beast.

Speaker 11 (01:04:49):
There's so many one of the kinds back then because
there weren't that many comics and now there's you know,
zillion comics and a lot of them are all doing
the same kind of you know, story, and that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
That's a really good point.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
So give me this because one of the most popular
things on social media, and I'm not posting it, is
people are posting crowd work videos and they soar and
I'm actually, you know, I'll do crowd work when I'm live,
and it's fun, you know, I find it one of
the easier things to do. But I'm always fascinated by
people's appreciation for crowd work when they're not at the show,
you know what I mean, Because you're not in the
room and you haven't seen the back and forth. That

(01:05:21):
one kind of surprised me. Do you get it or
you know?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:05:26):
Well, you know, I started doing some crowd work a
couple of years ago, and it's a lot more fun.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
Than I think, Yeah, because it's so spontaneous.

Speaker 11 (01:05:34):
There's so much discovery, and you hear the laughter is
much harder than your best joke ever in your act,
and so I think it's valuable in that sense. And
it's fun for the whole audience to kind of see
the interplay back and forth. Yeah, And it's it's unpredictable.
You don't know what's going to happen. And I think
when you're on stage as a comic, you are at
your sharpest when you interact with an audience member.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
That's fair because it's true in real time, you're taking
live shots on goal and you're probably you probably have
a higher level of awareness who.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
We're learning here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Neilan folks the show by the way, Hiking with Kevin.
It's streaming now on Fox Nation. He is down in Florida.
He's down in several Floridian towns right now getting ready
for a stand up show that's in one of the three.
He's in Middleton in the Villages tonight. Listen, we're gonna
let you go in a minute. We're gonna try not
to get emotional. But my only question is, having done

(01:06:26):
ten minutes of this interview, if you ever find yourself
in New York, would you dare go on my Fox New.

Speaker 7 (01:06:32):
Saturday Night TV show?

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Oh, Neilan, You know he could say that, though, because
he's on the phone, you don't have to mean it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
I'm kidding old Yeah, I'm never.

Speaker 11 (01:06:40):
Gonna do it, but good for you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
But if you ever do, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
I want you to get this because for me personally,
all right, obviously a lot of people like to talk
politics a comedy and everything like that, and I work
on a news channel. I don't care like I think
our superpowers comedians is not to talk about that stuff
because there's such a wider appetite for what comedy does best,
which is kind of bring people together.

Speaker 7 (01:07:04):
So I'd love to interview you and just talk comedy.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
So if you're ever in town and you're inebriated and
your publicist has failed you as a person.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Come on my TV show, Okay, I certainly will you know.

Speaker 11 (01:07:14):
I love your energy and you're obviously very knowledgeable about
comedy and all that show.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Yeah, it would be a real pleasure. Expression.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Oh come on, we're gonna hike with Kevin right onto
the TV set.

Speaker 7 (01:07:24):
We'll give my best at the villages tonight.

Speaker 11 (01:07:26):
Uh but you know, but that said, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:07:33):
That's enough out of you. Go see Kevin Nielan in
Boston tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Everybody. I kid, you're the best man.

Speaker 7 (01:07:39):
I'll see us, Sue Man, thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
For this, all right, thanks every boy.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
The great Kevin Kneeling, get him out of here, Get
him out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
It's the best of a Fox across the Fox across
America with Jimmy Salo.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Bang there it is Fox across America.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
Shout out to the great Kevin Nilan, who sounded like
he was dying to come on my TV show. I mean,
I think you might have canceled Tonight's showed down in
Florida and rerooted the jet. But as I was talking
to niel And, I look into the control room and
I see two staffers on Fox News Saturday night, and
apparently they, you know, killing time because the bars don't
open for another seven minutes. But I see my girl

(01:08:15):
Jen Cohen, I see Annie Hager, and I think to myself,
you know Annie is deaf, she'd be great for radio.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Bring her in.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
So I've got a semi sober Gen Cohen, and I've
got a lovely and talented Annie Hager. I won't bag
on you. They're both in the studio now listening to
sound set up close to your mic because we didn't
set you up for success, Annie, But you look great, perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
How you doing Okay? So you guys were on the floor.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Just to be clear, we're trying to give people as
much access as to what we do here as possible.
You were on the floor because someone had sent you
to a liquor store.

Speaker 7 (01:08:49):
Correct on behalf of the show.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
Yes, now, no one's going to believe this, but we
were actually buying the liquor for other people. That is
true story correct, Yes, thank you, And.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
We're not going to.

Speaker 7 (01:08:58):
Say here we were just giving gifts. I owed somebody
a gift.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Because they did a classy thing for us, and I
sent them out to buy the gift, and I just
want that clarification in case Fox hees a liquor charge
on the company card. A minute into my radio show,
it was Annie that you ordered the code read. What
you need to know about Annie is she hails from Seattle,
jen Where are you actually from?

Speaker 7 (01:09:18):
Because you're from everywhere New Jersey?

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
But yeah, I moved around.

Speaker 7 (01:09:21):
Yeah, a Jersey girl at heart.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Yeah, but she's been everywhere. There's the South gets involved
for months. What happened in Colorado? College?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
College?

Speaker 7 (01:09:30):
College and Colin.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Bong hits Yep, College bomb hits the basic stuff. Annie
co signing that and he's done the bong hits in
every stage and he has done drugs in more states
than the Grateful Dead has never I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Kidding, it's not true. You might not be wrong there,
all right.

Speaker 7 (01:09:47):
So give me this. Okay, we're on the air, so
I'm kind of putting you on the spot.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
There's millions of people listening on a few hundred stations. Dylan,
Dylan doesn't he doubts us because he's he's not the
regular producer. Mikey's on vacation. He's at the Furry Convention.
But whenever I talk about how many stations are on.
Dylan is always like he's lying, but they're listening. It's
like millions of people, isn't it right now? Okay, do
you think there's anyone in media that has more fun
than our TV team does?

Speaker 11 (01:10:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Definitely not. It's not close.

Speaker 13 (01:10:13):
You're the funnest team, the funnest staff, honest people.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
We hang, we.

Speaker 7 (01:10:18):
Drink, we take nothing seriously.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
We're talking thing seriously, and we're giving good advice here
by saying that because everybody listening right now, you know,
they consume it's talk radio.

Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
Talk radio sometimes is a little angry.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
It's not on this show, but on a lot of
shows they're like, I'm gonna kill him, these freaking liberals. Bro,
we got to get the lives and that's like three
hours a day of most radio shows. But we're distilling
it in a different way. You guys are not political analysts,
But wouldn't you say that, regardless of what you're analyzing,
if it was social studies, you probably learned more from
your funnier social studies teacher than you would from the
best teacher. What do you think about that? Like, if

(01:10:49):
you had shown up to class, you would have learned
a lot exactly, thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:10:53):
Yes, I've learned way more in this year that I
worked on the show than I have probably in my life.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Not to be fair, most of it was what not
to do. But that's okay, You've learned a lot. That's
not nothing. Jenna and Ani are in the studio from
my show. We got a minute ago.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
All day I give her advice do you know life?

Speaker 8 (01:11:09):
And she asked questions. She's like, who's Bob Dylan?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
I know she has a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
The other thing we didn't tell you. If you're watching
un Fox Nation, you know this already. And he is
eleven years old. Okay, I don't even know that she's
legally employable in the state of New York. She's the
youngest member of our staff. She's the youngest member of
any stat Shout out to the great Kevin Neilan. How
cool was he? Really an honor to talk to him?
He is an actual comedic genius, somebody I grew up watching.

(01:11:37):
So the fact that I'm sitting here talking to you
now is sort of Kevin Nielan's fault. So if you
want to start writing that hate mail during the commercial break,
I get it. But in the next hour, one of
my favorite people anywhere. If you remember the rap song
jump Around, Jump Around, that whole song. Danny Boy O'Connor,
a founding member of House of Pain with Everlast and
DJ Lethal. He joined us at the Outside Museum in

(01:12:00):
Tulsa for a full days broadcast.

Speaker 7 (01:12:03):
We're gonna give you some of those highlights when.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
We come back on this Labor Day best of on
Fox Across America.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
From Everywhere USA.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
It's Fox Across America with Jimmy Fala. It's the best
of Fox Across America with Jimmy faliut Here we go,
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
It is our number three of a big Labor Day
Best of Fox Across America with your main man, Jimmy Fala.
We have been celebrating this great nation, the hard working
men and women that make it go round, with a
host of my all time favorite guests. People who make
me laugh, people who inspire me to work harder, do better.
Nobody's inspired me to dress better yet, although several people

(01:12:42):
have tried, including the wardrobe department, who's actually puting a
gun at me from outside the studio as we speak.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
But in this hour, it is not about my attire.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
It is about a rap icon, a man who is
one third of the rap trio known as House of Pain.
They sang this iconic song jump Around, which plays in
every sports stadium you will ever attend for as long
as you live. It has probably inspired more bar fights
in the state of Massachusetts, specifically Boston, than maybe any
song that's ever been recorded. But this gentleman did not

(01:13:12):
make me get violent. In fact, he showed me a
phenomenal time. When I was down in Tulsa with the
legendary KRMG radio station, I am talking about the great
Danny Boy O'Connor who joined us at the Outsider's House
and Museum in tulsait crazy man.

Speaker 5 (01:13:25):
People are pulling up in their work trucks asking if
they can come meet you. What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Guys, if you're local in Tulsa right now and you
know where the Outsiders Museum is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Well, come by and say hello.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
We've had guesses pretty much during every commercial break. I
always love doing this, but then also I remember I
owe a lot of people money. I was a little
bit of a gambler when I was young. So anytime
the door opens at one of these events and they're
like Jimmy, some guy wants to see you. I'm like,
do you have a name too? Does he have my accents?
Because if so, it's got to feel good. So do
we have time to get quickly to one?

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
So I'm gonna I listened to AM radio religiously and
it does good for my mind, and I listened to
it when I sleep, and I don't know how many
years ago, let's say five years ago, about three in
the morning, this voice wakes me up and I was
listening to it subconsciously for about thirty minutes before I realized, like,
this is new, and I woke up and I waited
till you got to the commercial and you said your name,

(01:14:13):
and I went online and I found you on Facebook,
and I said, I don't know who you are and
how you just did that, but what you're talking about
is right where we need to be. It's right in
the center. It's common sense. It's not left, it's not right,
it's just right. It's just it's the message that America needs.
And you responded immediately, and we've been fast friends ever since.
And when I first met you out, I think it

(01:14:35):
was in Jinks at a group pub or whatever. I said, Jimmy,
the big things are waiting you, and I knew intuitively,
and this is my strength. I see something, I see
a diamond in the ruff, and I go, this is something.
You are something and you listen. You're the wittiest. And
I'm going to give your flowers now because you know
and why way to your dad to give your flowers

(01:14:57):
to give them to you today? Oh dandy, you literally
put me on mute because I put myself. I don't
know what to say around you on tongue tied because
you're so fast. And I've met my match. So that's one,
and people who know me go, wow, that's something. Number Two.
Everything you say is right and correct, and then it's entertaining.
But it's also powerful what you do. And I think
that you are the voice that America needs to hear.

(01:15:18):
And I'm amazed to watch your the success that you've
had in the last couple of years from a cab
driver to what you're doing now. It gives hope to
people like me and other people out there who are like,
hey man, you know what, anything is possible, and that's
what makes this country great.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Amen, great story. But I don't know why you're running
a museum. You should be my agent, I am yours.
Whoever you agent is, you're fired. Everyone's been fired. Danny
Boy O'Connor is now my rep.

Speaker 5 (01:15:42):
But it's true, man, and we're fast friends because of this.
And listen, I look forward to your show every day.
And you know, again, I turn people onto it who
are not either politically minded and I wasn't myself either
until I was, or people who are on the left,
and then they listen to you and they're like, you
know what, this feels good? This feels what the left kind.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Of Yeah, amen, I will say this, Dan, just to
jump in. I spend a lot of time riding around
in the taxi listening to talk radio, and I felt
like there was a market for this type of show
because the thing that makes it connect to people like
you is, you know, as do I, that there's so
much more to all of us than politics, and politics
is so reductive. When we take the value of everybody

(01:16:21):
in our life and just reduce them to how they
voted last month, we're really missing out on all of
the fun.

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
And it's even like coming from a different angle, it's
like people hate people because they vote differently. If you
live long enough, you realize there are so many better
reasons to hate somebody they vote just telligen so what
I'm trying to speak to you, And and the fact
that you get it. You can't imagine how much it
means to me because I understand your creative vision.

Speaker 7 (01:16:45):
I was a customer, I was a fan growing up.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
So the fact that you see that same vision for
the world that I do means a lot.

Speaker 7 (01:16:51):
And I know it's not the weed. We're both so
old and.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
We're not alone in this. And as more people hear
you and the more people think about the things you present,
the more it makes sense. And I know that we're
gonna find two north together. Well that's the beauty of
the outsider's house. I mean, it's like, you know, the
haves and the have nots, this one side of the
town versus the other side of the town, the socials
versus the greasers, and finding the beauty in the sunset

(01:17:13):
is a starting point. That's what we're doing well, and
we're seeing the same sunset. And so for that, thank you.
It's an honor to have you here. It's so good
to see you back in total. You gotta he's got
In case you don't know when I first met him,
he was on the radio. Then he got his show
on TV. It was the person. It was like Gutfeld
in there and stuff like that. Then you got your show.
Next time I came to your show, there's a live audience.
It's like it's blowing up.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
It couldn't have happened to a better person. And you
know what, God bless you.

Speaker 7 (01:17:40):
No, thank you for that, and I'll give you the
fifty bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
Once we go to commercials. You read it right off
the card. You read it word for word.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
It's like it's one thing to say it, but to
read it the way I wrote it that, well, it
really means a lot. Well, thank You've been a big
part of that show. A lot of people listening around
the country. Uh don't know the OJ story, but we
were having Danny on the show to play a game
called Rhyme and Punishment this and it was based upon
the Johnny Cochran defense of OJF the glove doesn't fit,
it must have quit.

Speaker 7 (01:18:05):
And OJ died the day we were shooting the show.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
And they were like, I don't know if we should
like joke around about this, but I'm like, you know,
if America is ever going to get back to normal. Okay,
we've got to be less mad at the comedians than
we are at the criminals. So we leaned in and
we did it in your honor. We did a what
would Danny do? House of Pain would not have said, hey,
we're not going to do that number today. It might
be a little insensitive to the murderer, you know, so
you might be that north star we're looking for. But

(01:18:29):
you know who's joining our movement. We said this before
break Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is amazing. So guys, Arnold goes
on the View yesterday because apparently he needs a better agent.
I don't know how you wind up there in his position.
This is a show that like four years ago, wanted
to defund the Kindergarten Cup. With all the other police,
the guy in the village people, they all had to go,
according to the View, but they had Arnold on essentially

(01:18:51):
because he's a very prominent migrant and they thought he
was going to bash the ice raids. They thought he
was going to take it to Trump and give them
exactly what their audience wanted, which was a big applause break,
you know, big sound by Trump's the devil screw him.
Arnold went in a completely different direction. And before I
play this clip for you, I'd just like to congratulate
him on never getting invited back on the show again,

(01:19:13):
because this is not what they were looking for when
they brought him on.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
And again, I want to qualify this.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
This is a guy who not only came to America
as a migrant, was the biggest bodybuilder in the world,
biggest box office jow on Hollywood in the early eighties,
the governor of California, So he not only has the
migrant experience, but he's also conducted a lot of outreach
to the migrant community because he knocked up his maid. Okay,
is this a guy who literally has skin in the game, Danny, So.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
His comments carried a lot of weight. And here it is.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Joy Behart tees him up to be like, you know,
what's up with these ice raids? What do you think
is an immigrant? This ain't the answer they wanted. Clip twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
You are an immigrant?

Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
You're an immigrant in this country?

Speaker 15 (01:19:58):
Yeah, a visceral reaction to what they're doing when ice
is join when you see the videos of it, Well,
I tell.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
You, did you say that the immigrant?

Speaker 9 (01:20:08):
I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by
the American people like that. I mean, imagine it came
over here with the age of twenty one, absolutely nothing,
and then to create a career like that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
I mean, in no other country in the world could
you do that.

Speaker 9 (01:20:30):
Every single thing, if it's that bodybuilding Korea, if it's
my acting career, becoming governor the beautiful family that have
created all of this is because of America. And so
this is why I'm so so happy to see firsthand
that this is the greatest country in the world and
this is the land of the proud.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Okay, so stop the real quick, so you understand what
she ted up was. So you see these ice rays,
do you have a visceral reaction to what they're doing?
And he doesn't answer that question. He talks about his
experience as a migrant and how we're so lucky to
live here in America. And the reason that's peeing in
the punch bowl is is you know, the view spends
a few hours a day saying this place sucks. It's

(01:21:12):
the worst. We're run by Nazis. Nobody can get ahead here.
It's so racist. But it so runs counter to the
fact narrative around America, which is this is the one
place where literally by now one hundred million migrants have
come and made a better life for themselves and their
family and in a lot of instances like way better lives,
like the guy's the CEO Agoya is worth five billion dollars.

(01:21:32):
You know what he showed up with not you know,
he didn't have a canna beans, let alone a bean company.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
But that's the point.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
And this is where Arnold takes the turn, and this
is what we were building up to. This is him
answering her question about deportation, ice and Trump's relentless enforcement
of the law.

Speaker 7 (01:21:47):
Clip twenty one.

Speaker 9 (01:21:48):
You got to those things legal and those people that
are doing illegal things in America, and they're the foreigners,
they are not smart because when you come to America,
your guest, and you have to behave like a guest,
Like when I go to someone's house and I'm a guest,
then that will do everything I can, keep things clean

(01:22:11):
and to make my pay and to do everything that
is the right thing to do, rather than committing a
clime or being abusive for something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
That doesn't really work in this country.

Speaker 9 (01:22:19):
So I think the important thing is when you become
an immigrant to think about, Okay, I go to America
because I want to use America for the great opportunities
that America has in education, in jobs, feeding a family,
all of those kind of things.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
Then you have to think about.

Speaker 9 (01:22:35):
Okay, if I get all of those things from America,
then I have to give something back. You have a
responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and
to pay back to America, and to go and do
something for your community for no money whatsoever. Give something
back to after school program.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Sound where's the lie?

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
I mean everything you said a spot on. I mean
I couldn't believe it myself when he said it. I
listened to it on my jaw drop.

Speaker 7 (01:23:01):
I've heard this seven times.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
I caught it on the plane on the way down
last night, and you know, Delta wanted me to have
extra time to prepare for today's show, so they delayed
the flight three times.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
They wanted to make sure. They're like, I'll tell you
what this guy needs.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
But anyway, I watched this like three times because this
is something it doesn't matter what political party you're in,
we should be able to agree on if no one,
no one is saying we don't want immigrants.

Speaker 7 (01:23:25):
We are a nation of immigrants.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
Everybody listening to the show has a predecessor in their
family who migrated here at some point, but they did
it legally, and they bought it into the American dream,
which is you want to be a part of this
grand bargain and make a better life for yourself and
your family and contribute to a greater good. And the
reason this clip matters so much to me is everybody
who watched it was exposed to like perspective. That's all

(01:23:46):
we offer on the radio. I go, hey, I'm a
cab driver. This is the way I kind of see
the world. This is what I've been able to accomplish.
This is why I look at it from this angle. Okay,
everyone should look at it from this angle. When it
comes to immigration, you are literally a guest. And that's
the way he brought down was so brilliant. If you
go over somebody's house as a guest and just starts
stealing their electronics and throwing rocks at the cops, you're.

Speaker 7 (01:24:07):
Not getting invited back.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
So the idea that the view has gone to bat
for the rock throwers instead of the guys getting hit
by them who are law enforcement and by the way,
also minority members of the community. You know, law enforcement
in California is minority majority, meaning the majority of it
are minorities that are getting hit by rock throwing protesters.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
So the fact that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
Arnold is now the voice of reason. Okay, but I
think is a good sign. You say that right, because
Arnold was at his biggest when America was probably at
its best. Can we have this discussion super Bowl Shuffle,
Chicago eighty five Bears. Okay, so the Bears are rapping now, Okay,
that matters. The Cosby Show is in every living room

(01:24:47):
in America. Okay, but let's focus on the living room
and not the green room because the Cosby Show, you know,
it got a little dicey after hours. A great actor
wasn't the best bartender because luck would happened. Okay, So
you got that going on. But you've got run DMC
and Aerosmith completely integrating pop culture with Walk this way.
And I do believe America was peaking almost at a
pop culture standpoint around the world, and internally there was

(01:25:08):
a lot of good civic pride. People had perspective, and
I think something like Arnold if you had a few
more Arnold's, we are at that tipping point, Like you said,
we just need like a couple more nudges.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
And we'd be there.

Speaker 5 (01:25:19):
I agree.

Speaker 7 (01:25:20):
So I don't know what the next step is. What
eighties actor do.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
We have to do? We have to find I'm thinking,
I know, I'm trying to well, it can't be cousy.
I mean, he had a lot of say it's.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Not gonna work, but no, it would be somebody prominent
also who has that perspective. But the it's the unique
nature of his experience because he is an immigrant who
came to the country that gives him standing on the subject.
But if you could watch the view while he was
saying that, have you ever seen a cat getting a bath?
Like it just shrinks. It's angry, but it knows there's
nothing that it can do to stop it. So it's

(01:25:52):
just there as a lesser version of its disgruntled self.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
He ruined the view.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Like the last time I saw Joey bayhor that man,
it was when Hostess one on strike. Remember they weren't
selling twinkies for like those three days.

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
For like fifty Yeah, take one before it's gone.

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
But I love it so much.

Speaker 3 (01:26:12):
And if you're listening online, okay, you're listening around the country,
if you're downloading this podcast, send everybody you know the
Arnold clip every time immigration comes up and they tell
you they're.

Speaker 7 (01:26:20):
The devil for enforcing the law.

Speaker 3 (01:26:22):
Okay, there's nowhere else in the world where we could
show up and say, hey, this place sucks, but you
can't kick us out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
You did.

Speaker 7 (01:26:30):
I agree, And it's just basic perspective.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
And you just want people to go back to a
place where they can respect what we're all lucky enough
to have, because that's how you hold on to that
lucky thing you have.

Speaker 9 (01:26:39):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:26:39):
I always think of Tina Turner. I know that she
got married to a gentleman who was in Switzerland and
she wanted to get her passport and become a citizen.
I think I have to wait five years. You have
to learn the national anthem in Swiss, which is an
amalgamation of German and Italian. I did not know that
you have to have like half a million dollars in
the bank, which is that was a little I don't know,

(01:27:00):
you know, And and you have to agree to certain
terms of the thing because they have it so good
there that They're like, we don't need you even if
your teena Turner. There's no exceptions, and if you want it,
you should have to go through a certain amount of
you know, like any job or any other place that
you would go where you're trying to better yourself. You
don't get to go in and then dictate how that run.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Amen.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
And that's even with you know, the having a twelve
step program. You know, it's like a you listen, you
pull the cotton out of your ears, you put it
in your mouth, and you listen to people who come
before you and show you how it's done.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
You know, we've lost that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
We've lost people who can sit down and tell people, hey, dude,
that's great, that's a great idea. I thought the same
when I was that age. Here's what here's what's real.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:27:42):
So Danny Boyce says we need to bring back Turner
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
Getting stop it.

Speaker 8 (01:27:46):
Set the record straight.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
No mouthing off about America. You better be good to me. Clickbrey,
We're back after this.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
It's the best of Fox Across America with Jimmy Faylile.
It's the best of Fox Across America with Jimmy Faylile, Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Girl, Fox across America with Jimmy Falam.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullett is going to be joining
us since we're in his states.

Speaker 7 (01:28:08):
Hanging out right now with Danny.

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
Boy O'Connor at the Outsiders Museum, and you're gonna hear
a little WHOOPI Goldberg coming up. We were talking earlierbout
Animald Schwarzenegger. He was giving some perspective to the American people.
I'm gonna offer some perspective really quickly on something.

Speaker 7 (01:28:22):
That has nothing to do with anything. We were just
scrolling the Daily Mail.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Do you remember the news story where a woman had
a chimpanzee as a pet and it ripped her face off.

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
It's horrible, bro, I'm looking at the photos right now.

Speaker 7 (01:28:32):
Well, that makes one of us. I'm not even looking
at like.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
I got halfway through the scroll and I was like,
you know what, I was just.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Trying to keep up with the news.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
But we need to we need to address the American
people about this faed of wild animals as pets because
there's two things trending right now. Raccoons which also don't
want to be your pet. They'll tear it apart. They're vindictive.
I know some of the good old boys and Tulsa
are like, oh, I'll go ahead, I will handle a
raccoon and you might, but he's going to destroy your
house in between the handle and the kapy barrow. Do

(01:29:02):
you know the kapy bar It's the world's biggest rodent.
It's one hundred and fifty pounds. People are getting them
as pets, but you don't need If you bring a
wild animal into your house, your house, there's no way
it doesn't wind up just smelling like a zoo.

Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
Right, Yeah, it's crazy. Getcabra instead and call it a day.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
I'm in a different place. My son is sixteen. He's
looking at penthouse pets. I don't have to worry about
a dog or a cat.

Speaker 5 (01:29:27):
It's a good red blooded American boy.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Doesn't have to worry about Father's day presidence something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
It's all good living. But yeah, you stop it right now.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
But as Danny and I were sitting here keeping up
the speed on the news were down in Telson, were
at the outside of museum. We just came across the
story and guys, yeah, if you're out there, because this
I went down a hole I was reading about the
raccoon pet thing. So raccoons during mating season. Okay, if
they're your pets, they don't have a lot of options.
So yeah, it's either you the couch.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Or they're just trying the place.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
Oh the poor casts now, oh man, Well we're speaking
of bad behavior. We're gonna play another clip from the
view when we come back with Danny Boy O'Connor. We're
broadcasting the Outsider's Museum on kre MG here in Tulsa.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
Don't Go Anywhere Festive Funks Across America with Jimmy Fayala.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Back in action on the Fox Across America Labor Day
Best of We are, of course, spending this hour down
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the legendary k RMG was kind
enough to host us at the Outsiders Museum for a
live broadcast featuring my main man, Danny Boy O'Connor, one
third of the rap trio House of Pain. They love
the Outsider's book, they loved the Outsiders movie, so they

(01:30:39):
went ahead and bought the house and turned.

Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
It into a museum.

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
And here's Danny Boy talking about it all with me
a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
But right now, as we get ready for Oklahoma Senator
Mark Wayne Mullen, who's going to be joining us on
the phone here shortly.

Speaker 7 (01:30:50):
He couldn't risk his security hanging out with this crowd.
Are you kidding me? I'm kidding. No, They're all fine.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
But I needed to hear one more Whoopy Goldberg clip
because when you hear her level of intelligence, it's actually
inspiring because you go like, if this woman could make
it in television and could make it in movies, I
could be doing anything with my life. That's the value
of the view. You listen to it, you feel better
about yourself. So, without further ado, here is Whoopy trying

(01:31:18):
to claim the black women in America have it worse
than the women in Iran. I will take what is
weapons grade stupid for five hundred Alex.

Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
Here's the clip.

Speaker 14 (01:31:30):
The Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings. They
don't have to hear the basic humans.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
Here's the let's not let's not do that.

Speaker 15 (01:31:36):
Let's not do that because if we start with that,
we have we have been known in this country to
tie gay folks.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
To the Irani black people. So let's not even the same.
I couldn't. That's not what you mean to say it
is the same.

Speaker 8 (01:31:58):
No, it's not.

Speaker 14 (01:31:59):
The year twenty twenty five United States is nothing like
if I stepped foot wearing.

Speaker 12 (01:32:02):
This young.

Speaker 5 (01:32:04):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 14 (01:32:05):
I can't have my hair showing, I can't wear a skirt,
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:32:09):
Have my telling you age.

Speaker 7 (01:32:12):
I literally said it was.

Speaker 14 (01:32:13):
Up to the Iranian people say it up to me.

Speaker 15 (01:32:16):
That's why I am saying that it is the same.
Murdering someone for their difference is not good.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Whoever done it's not good. So that's why I said you.

Speaker 15 (01:32:32):
You weren't saying what you What I heard was not
what you meant.

Speaker 14 (01:32:37):
I think it's very different in the United States in
twenty twenty five than it is to live in An
for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Well, the Goldberg, a woman so dumb she studied for
a COVID test. Uh, just made the claim that being
a black woman in America in twenty twenty five is
worse than being a woman in Iran.

Speaker 7 (01:32:56):
Now, I'm just going to make a few quick comparisons.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
Uh, we actually in America have had a black First
Lady of the United States. Women in Iran, if one
of them happened to be black and was first Lady,
we wouldn't know it because they're not allowed to show
their faces in public, they're not allowed to drive, they're
not allowed to go into libraries. Okay, they don't have
basic human rights. So the idea that people get on

(01:33:20):
TV and are just so wildly breast of intelligence, but
they own it with such confidence, I think should be
inspiring to you. You don't actually have to figure out
what you're doing in.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
Life, you just have to do it with great confidence.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
And if you don't mind being surrounded by gussy, middle
aged women for three hours a day, there's some fill
in work for you on the view.

Speaker 7 (01:33:40):
Okay, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
And the reason I harp on stuff like this is
a guy who has a little bit of perspective. Is
it took a lot of work, a lot of protests, okay,
a lot of people going to jail, some people getting
killed to get the equality that we have.

Speaker 1 (01:33:56):
In this country.

Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
And when people get on TV in twenty twenty five
and pretend it doesn't exist, you're really giving a middle
finger to all of that sacrifice. Woopy Goldberg telling you
that a black woman in America has it harder than
a woman in a ran A woman and I ran, who,
by the way, is inside a bombshelter. Woopy Goldberg is
on the set of The View making ten million dollars
a year as a woman who was also an oscar

(01:34:17):
winner in Ghost. She also has a Grammy. She also
has an Emmy, okay, and she also has a bit
of a drinking problem if she thinks there's a comparison
between one and the other. But what's happening on the left,
and this is why it doesn't connect with Americans, is
they are trying to be victims at all times. They
view victimhood as status. Now, I have it hard, give

(01:34:40):
me something, But how hard do you really have it
if you're making ten million dollars a year? I granted, yes,
it's it tough to sit on the set with Joy
Behar as the latest chili cookoff, probably, but comparative to
what they're doing in Iran, like that's embarrassing. But they
don't have any perspective because when you get to this
place where your emotion are your facts, That's what I

(01:35:01):
tell you. The problem is on the left, they're catering
to emotion. So if you are a good person and
you hear a black woman saying she has it hard.
Your emotions might go towards yeah, poor will be, but
if you're catering towards the facts, there is no comparison
between a woman in America and a woman anywhere in
the world.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
But let alone in Iran.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
Okay, a lot of the girls I work with go
out after the comedy show and get stoned. Okay, that
involves marijuana. Okay in Iran, when the women get stoned,
that involves a ninety eight mile an hour fastball and
a rock. I think the conversation is over, but we
played some of it because again, I'm here to inspire.
I am here to empower, and nothing will make you

(01:35:41):
feel better about your own self worth than listening to
the View.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
So I throw it out to you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
Before we bring on the Senator because we've got to
go to break. If you really do want to go
watch the view, we know those crazies. I can get
tickets to the view. They are ten dollars to get in.
It's two hundred to get out. But don't go anywhere
because we are locked in at the Outsider's Museum Homer
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen joining us when we come back.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
It's the best of Fox Across the Fox Across America
with Jimmy Salo.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
Oh hot damn.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
But this Fox Across America with Jimmy Flow on kr MG.
Down here in Tulsa at the Outsiders Museum, things have
gotten so out of control they're bringing in their senator
to try to restore order. He's up in d C,
where he's safe. We are talking about the great Senator
Mark Waynemullen.

Speaker 13 (01:36:25):
Hey man, what's up, brother?

Speaker 8 (01:36:27):
Are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
I'll tell you what you dodged a bullet being up
in DC for that hearing. Uh, these okies are pretty rowdy, man,
pretty rowdy.

Speaker 13 (01:36:35):
I can't believe that you're in Oklahoma and I'm in
d C. I mean, you're corrupting my town. Me you
you didn't bring your clothes, your wardrobe to Tulsa. You
got like a new one before you can You know what.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
The audience in this house can appreciate your comment. You
guys didn't hear this, but Senator Mullen just said, please
tell me you didn't bring one of your loud jackets
down from New York and you bought Tulsa clothes. My man,
I am wearing a hot pink denim.

Speaker 13 (01:37:02):
Jacket courtire Coorgia. Well, make sure you take Danny boy
when you walk around him, because you're gonna need protection.

Speaker 1 (01:37:09):
That's what he's doing here, Danny. He just said, make
sure you bring Danny Boy with you because you're going
to need protection. That's what Danny's doing here. He is
the muscle.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
He is the muscle behind the operation. I have him
on the mic right now, So give me this, Senator.
You were in this Biden cuckoo for cocoa puffs hearing earlier.

Speaker 13 (01:37:28):
Yeah, and uh yeah. You know, it's crazy what the
left does and how short minded they are, because now
they're you know, they're complaining about all the destruction and
how I'm transparent this administration is and who's driving the ship.
And you're going, what, I'm sorry, you covered up for

(01:37:51):
president the last four months, over the last four years
that wasn't even it wasn't even mentally capable of running
the country. And you're saying that this administration isn't transparent.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
It's come on, I mean, the last administration thought transparent
was a man who has a baby.

Speaker 7 (01:38:12):
Okay, they weren't telling us anything.

Speaker 13 (01:38:16):
The Assistant Secretary of HHS was a person that couldn't
figure out if they were a man or a woman
and were address one day and where slacks the next.
I mean, and that's overhelped in human sources. Yeah, you're
going to the country's in a mess now, No, we

(01:38:38):
have we have a present that's actually cleaning up the
mess now that you left behind.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
Yes, well, what's fascinating. We're talking to Oklahoma Senator Mark
Wamullum is. I don't think anybody really understood the sheer
magnitude of the mess.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
You know what I'm saying. It's like you guys bought
you guys bought a fixer upper, and you thought you
needed a roof in some windows.

Speaker 3 (01:38:57):
But now you realize there's all kinds of plumbing issues
and you know, God knows what Hunter flushed down the toilet.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
There's all kinds of stuff in this picture.

Speaker 13 (01:39:06):
I'm kind of curious to know what he did flush
because that seems like a great story.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
Well, listen.

Speaker 7 (01:39:14):
Or those Heraldo investigations.

Speaker 13 (01:39:17):
Yes, yeah, we're going to go find it an al
campone safe or something.

Speaker 1 (01:39:21):
Yeah, Hunter safe.

Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
Well, if you followed the Hunter Biden laptop thing, you know,
with all the pictures that were on there, he was
I believe, based on the photographic evidence, he was a
flight risk because he had a suspicious package.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
Good aight, everybody, all right, try the veil. What do
we do?

Speaker 13 (01:39:40):
Here'll spit up? But that is funny.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
I'd give you one.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
Some homecrons got me that one, Thank you, man, So
give me this right you have the hearing. They're obviously
trying to project this on to the right. They're saying
Trump's a little older and we need more information, and
I me and you get what that is. And it's
an effort to start a new conversation. But I find
it's so fascinating that that has been the defense of
the cover up is they keep going on TV and

(01:40:05):
saying we're going forward.

Speaker 7 (01:40:07):
We're not going to look back. Senator Mullen.

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
If I come home with a two thousand dollars charge
from flash dancers on my AMX, I can't defend it
by going, hey, that was last month's statement.

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
We're going forward.

Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
You know what I'm saying, So what world do they
think that's an excuse or a justifiable reason to move on?

Speaker 13 (01:40:28):
But you could probably still save your marriage. This is
more like coming home and saying I had an affair
last month. But let's just move on to this is
a new month.

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:40:39):
People divorced that administration because of what they did. Yeah,
I mean it's truly they decided that they didn't like
the direction of our country. But yet the Democrats today
are are blaming now the Republicans for the mess that
they left. And it doesn't make any sense. I mean,
let's just talk about transparency. I want to just play

(01:41:01):
with me just here a second. And in the three
cabinet meetings since President Trump has been in office, he's
answered twenty times more questions than the in three cabinet
meetings than the Biden administration did in their entire four
years in office. But yet they're complaining about transparency. Yeah,

(01:41:22):
in the first in the first thirty days that President
Trump was in office, he answered a thousand questions. That is,
it's not you go try to find how many questions
Biden asked in his first thirty or answered in his
first thirty dation. You can't find him, and if you could,
you couldn't understand him.

Speaker 7 (01:41:44):
We're talking to Oklahoma Senator Mark wain Mullen.

Speaker 3 (01:41:46):
In the media's defense, they were asking Biden tough questions
like what is your name, where are you?

Speaker 13 (01:41:53):
You're like, I think I got a quote that way age.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
I didn't know they were going to gang up on me.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
So my next question is, you know, based on what
you get out of these hearings, is there a feel
internally for who was actually running this scam on the
American people? No one, you know, no one in good
faith believes Joe Biden was running the country, but that
effort to conceal that fact had to be led by somebody.
Did you get any sense of what that really was yet?

(01:42:21):
Or do you still need more testimony?

Speaker 13 (01:42:22):
You know, we're actually that is actually being investigated, and
I know that sounds crazy. You got to investigative, but
you do. So let me just play my theory because
I I think the proofs always in the putting, and
so you just kind of got to look at things
and now that you're in hindsight's twenty twenty, so let
me just look back. Right. I know this is going

(01:42:43):
to sound crazy because they got a vice president, Kamala Harris,
because they wanted a week vice president. However, they didn't
realize how weak the present was. Yeah, I truly do
feel like that it was Kamala's Kamala Harris's team that
was leading the parge. And why I say that is
who in their right mind would have picked her to

(01:43:04):
be the VP when at the time her numbers were
lower than Biden's numbers. Why wouldn't you have somebody Why
wouldn't you have an open an open convention. Why wouldn't
you just pick somebody that may be more popular or
may be more center center in the party. Why would
you go with Kamala Harris who had no chance to

(01:43:25):
win when she started because she couldn't even she never
won a single vote even when she was in the
presidential race, unless she was the one that was controlling
the White House the whole time. And if you think
about how extreme the policies were, that lines exactly up
with the way Kamala Harris in her politics are. I mean,

(01:43:47):
you can even go back and look at that Biden's politics.
People thought he was going to be more of a
moderate because you know, his voting record was a little
bit more moderate than most. But Kamala wasn't. She's always
been to extreme and when they came in office, they
went extreme left and controlled the party. I don't think
people gave Kamala Harris enough credit here. I think she

(01:44:11):
was in my opinion, there's no proof in this, but
just by looking at the facts, I think she and
her team was the one that was actually running the
White House.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Yes, the point is basically someone who had to be
that far to the left and it would make sense
to be.

Speaker 13 (01:44:26):
Her and to figure out how to get the nominee
away from Biden put her in place. Well, you got plate,
Why would you stay with her? Nothing makes sense about that.

Speaker 7 (01:44:36):
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (01:44:37):
Although Kamala's decision to run makes sense for me, if
only because being president would give her a designated driver
at all times. And if you've heard her speak on
the news, man like somebody needs to take away homegirls keys.

Speaker 1 (01:44:53):
It's not pretty. It's not pretty.

Speaker 13 (01:44:58):
So let's say I got I got something for you.
Give your intro music. You're at, I mean you're at
Danny Boy. Why didn't your int music jump around?

Speaker 1 (01:45:08):
Oh no, no, we played it earlier. We did. We
came in on jump.

Speaker 13 (01:45:11):
Around when I came it's every break.

Speaker 1 (01:45:14):
No no, when.

Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
When Danny was introduced, he got his theme music. But
you don't listen, man, Okay, you're doing great, I see
you flying around with Trump. But you have not you
have not made it to theme music status yet. Mullen,
you're doing great. He wrote the song, so you have
to write the song.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
That's the point.

Speaker 13 (01:45:32):
I wanted to honor him.

Speaker 3 (01:45:33):
Oh fair, okay, okay, But the point is you can't
take the other superhero theme song.

Speaker 1 (01:45:38):
Superman doesn't walk into No no no no no no no.
You know what I'm saying. You're Superman. Yeah, good for you.

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
Well, listen, I'm gonna tell Mikey he needs an assignment
because it's the second hour of the show, which means
he's on an adult website right now. He's not even
listening to this. But we're gonna give him homework. Figure
out what Mullen's themes song is. Do you have any
requests so the next time you're on you'll get your
theme music? Do you want to think about it and
we can discuss it.

Speaker 13 (01:46:06):
Yet, part needs to be something better than when I
used to five profession I walked out. If you're going
through hell, keep on walking. You might get out for
the devios you there.

Speaker 1 (01:46:13):
Yeah, that's heavy.

Speaker 13 (01:46:14):
Maybe something a little bit better, more like ACDC or something.

Speaker 12 (01:46:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:46:18):
All right, No, I like that a little little AC.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
We'll give you some ac DC, some back in Black,
maybe some Thunderstruck.

Speaker 13 (01:46:24):
Back in Black is great.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
Yeah, Thunderstruck is the gem.

Speaker 3 (01:46:26):
They play an iron Man, but Hollywood is so woke
it's now iron them.

Speaker 7 (01:46:30):
It doesn't really have her, doesn't have the same bite.

Speaker 1 (01:46:33):
All right, well listen, we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
Get into the recording studio now that we know you've
made it to superhero status.

Speaker 1 (01:46:41):
I'll keep an eye on.

Speaker 3 (01:46:41):
Your home state for the next twenty four hours. Keep
an eye on DC.

Speaker 13 (01:46:44):
Okay man, all right, thank you, sir, appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
You're the greatest Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the great
state of Oklahoma, probably the only guy from the state
I like.

Speaker 7 (01:46:54):
And oh wow, this is awkward. I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
I see this whole crowd. I'm kidding.

Speaker 7 (01:46:58):
But he makes a good point. He doesn't need theme music.

Speaker 3 (01:47:02):
He was trying to honor you and to his credit,
but there has to be an overlap issue like that
is your theme jam, you know how, like when a
player gets his number retired.

Speaker 1 (01:47:12):
The New York Giants.

Speaker 3 (01:47:13):
Drafted a pass rusher this year by the name of
Abdul Carter's from Penn State, and he asked to where
Lawrence Taylor's jersey lt was number fifty six.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
His number is retired.

Speaker 7 (01:47:23):
But I think you your jersey's retired.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
You have attained a level of status, okay, that entitles
you to that, whereas the guy who hasn't played it
down in the league gets you not have retired jersey status,
don't you agree? Fascinating, which is why Mullen has to
go find an ac DC song in the cassette deck
and Danny Boy is gonna keep rocking out to jump around.
That is gonna do it for the Fox Across America

(01:47:47):
Labor Day Spectacular.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
And I gotta be I thought it was spectacular. I
thought it went pretty well.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
I'm getting a lot of thumbs downs in the control booth,
but that's fine. The point is the show's over doesn't
matter now because tomorrow is another day.

Speaker 7 (01:48:00):
We're back here.

Speaker 1 (01:48:01):
Doing it live. We'll do it live.

Speaker 3 (01:48:03):
I do hope you enjoy the rest of your Labor Day.
I know how hard everybody who listens to the show works.
This is the working Man's radio show, hosted by a
former New York City cab driver and perhaps a future
New York City cab driver the way this show has
been going lately. But it doesn't matter now because the
show is over. Pay up, get out, go, enjoy your
unique American privilege. We will see you back here again tomorrow.
