Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is there New York Marksimon on sevent ten w R.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, Jimmy Fayla, the great host. You gotta listen to
him every night. He's on w o R every weeknight
now nine to midnight, excellent show, interesting, funny, nine to
midnight every night. And he does the best late night
show on television every Saturday night, ten pm on the
Fox News Channel. Jimmy Fayla, how you doing? It's better?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Now? I was watching Mom Donnie on the View this morning.
Now I didn't see so the best part is like
during the during the View itself, he's in one of
the commercials for the Golden Bachelor, you know, the show
The Golden Bachelor, and those actually, oddly enough, those marriages
actually work out the best because on the Golden Bachelor
(00:51):
killed death to at part isn't his law? You know,
it's like when the twenty two year old get married
on TV. You know, got taking a long time. But
I'm watching Mom Donnie and he's given his speech about
the Golden Bachelor and giving people the rose, and I'm like, wait,
this is the guy that supports legalized prostitutions.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Why are you.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Wasting your time on a dating show?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well? Is that a bad thing legalized prostitution.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well, well not if he wants to get Bill Clinton's endorsement.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But hey, how are you coping with the government shutdown?
How is it affecting your life?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, it's not me I worry about it's you know,
there's a lot of drag shows in Latvias that aren't
being funded right now. I mean, think of the poor
kids in Iraq that wanted to get out of bed
this morning and watch a transgender sesame street but our
government had to shut down, So now they're not paying
for it, you know, Yeah, to think about the other people, Mark,
(01:51):
But the whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, when they say non essential, don't you say, wait
a minute, you have non essential workers. Why why are
we paying for it?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's such a good such a good point. It's like,
you know what, every once in a while you go
over the credit card statement and go like, oh, we
pay twelve ninety nine for this, why are we doing that?
But in the government, it's like, we pay twelve billions
for this? Why are we doing that? Hey, somebody else
has to look at their master card statement. Yeah, go ahead,
I'm sorry, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I say, as a great comedian, Could you give Hakeem
Jeffries some advice on how to take a joke. This
guy's the biggest stiff I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh, I know. And it's funny because he's obviously like
a karaoke Obama. You know, it's a good Obama comper band.
That's totally what he is. And you know, to Obama's credit,
like the media never gave him a hard time, but
he at least had a bit of a personality. Hakeem Jeffries,
it's weird. He almost reminds me more of Hillary in
(02:49):
that the octaves in his voice never change, you know,
like if Hillary was the lead singer A Kiss, you'd
be like, I want to rock and roll all night
and the party every day. And you're like, wow, you
don't sound that enthusiastic about it, Hill, And that's kind
of Jeffers. There's no passion, so he wants to be Obama.
But to Obama's credit, he could at least get out
(03:10):
there and sell you the bs that he was pedaling. Yeah,
nobody buys a king. Like if I was a king, Jeffreys,
I would want Trump to be accenting all of my
videos with mariachi's and hats and mustaches because it gives
them some life, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And what about Schumer, he's like from nineteen eighty two.
He's just so a relic updated sort of guy.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, the problem with Schumer is and they Democrats always
give us that speech about how we're the Party of
the youth, and they're like, we're the Party of the
youth this you know, this country needs new blood. From
looking at Schumer, I assume they actually mean new blood
like transfusions. I'm like, you know, he looks like a
villain on the Simpsons, and I don't ever know what
(03:53):
to make of him because there's the problem with being
in Washington, like he's seriously, Schumer has been in Washington
since Washington, you know what I'm saying. And it's like
there's not going to be a position you don't contradict
yourself on. So we've all heard the clips of him
in the nineties, in the early off its being like
a legal immigration it's all a scam for Medicare benefits.
There's all these illegals. That's where we can't let him in.
(04:15):
And now we could obviously on the complete opposite side
of himself it's that every Democrat could just debate themselves.
You could get like a hologram of like here's you
a year ago, and you can just have that debate.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And who told Schumer these classes look good on you
those big clunky glasses.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Listen, I'm not going to have you insult Schumer's stylist
or his seeing idols. That's not nice.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's what he looks like. Yeah, he looks like he
needs a dog with those glasses. So uh good. Hey,
I'm sure you're thrilled that un week is over. That
was pretty bad, wasn't it. That un General.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Man wasn't the best part though, that mcrone had to
get out and walk across town because they had the
one street block off. And I was saying on my show,
you know, it's a real slap in the face to
a world leader when you got to get out and walk.
But luckily mccron's used to getting slapped in the face
by his wife. Do you remember that plane video? She
beat him up on the plane and he had to
(05:14):
get off like it was cool. I dude, we all
saw it, man.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, I remember the day had that video Trump and
Milania in the fight on the helicopter they were trying
to go after. But then the lip reader said it
was Trump yelling at her, so he wasn't getting slapped
around apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
No, no, no, they're not going to beat him up. No,
McCrone looks like he's into it, let's be honest. He
looks like one of those people I would drive around
in my taxi. Because that's the thing about New York
tells you is the traffic's the worst on earth. But
it's also the most lucrative week of the year if
you're a cab driver, because there's a lot of people
that have to get around street closures and get to
embassies and York they kind of will hire you for
(05:52):
that knowledge. And you know a lot of these people
I'm talking about get paid in singles and wear very
high stiletto heels. Up what I'm putting down. Yes, And
that's the part of you. One week I miss as
a driver is you know, you're driving some some guy
in a dress named Cinnabuns over to some embassy because
there's a weirdo diplomat waiting.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That was the part I enjoyed. Well, you haven't driven
in a while. I don't think it's singles anymore, is it?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, No, they're at You're right, you're right about that.
It's all kind of so Hunter Biden changed the game.
Now it's wire transfers coming in from multiple entities, whole
new world.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Hey, uh, you were a cab driver. He's not kidding,
he was a cab driver. Tell us the truth. Does
the driver want to be stuck in traffic and run
up the meter or does he want to get the
right over fast so you can get a new fare turnover?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You want to ride, you want a faster ride. I'll
tell you the reason why. Every fair that gets in
you're getting the search charge. And maybe it's at night
you're getting that differential. So if you ran the meter
for an hour right now, it might generate eighty two bucks,
but if you turned over four fares, you're going to
be around forty before you even take the rider get tipped.
(07:06):
So unequivocally, you'd rather have four mid length fairs, five
mid length fairs in an hour, turnover as your friend,
and every fourth or fifth person uses you as an
affordable therapist if you're outgoing, and tips you extra money.
So that happens, And that was definitely my strategy.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Too.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The reason guys want the long fair like the airport
fair is at JFK and the taxi lot there is
a massive gambling ring like for real, for real, what
where they play this piegal poker game and they like
to play this Middle Eastern domino game I'm not making
it up. And a lot of guys because when you
go to JFK, you wait like an hour and a
half for your next fair, and a lot of guys gamble.
(07:45):
It's like a card game basically, it's you know, it's
almost like a recreational card game, but there's a lot
of money at stake. And anytime you're driving to Central
taxi at JFK, if you see that massive lot of cabs,
the reason nobody's in them is half of the guys
are exercising the other half are gambling. Okay, that's like
a thing, and it's a funny, you know, it's a
recreational thing, but it's pretty funny. It's like the new OTB.
Instead of off track gambling, we have off road gambling.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's actually fascinating. But why would why would as a driver,
why would you ever want to sit and do nothing
for an hour and a half when you could be
doing twelve fars.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, okay, because the thing is that JFK fair that
you take that you take back is usually pretty lucrative,
and it's for some guys drive. They exclusively do hotels
and airports. What I mean is they have a guy
at a hotel, they have a guy to hotel that
they give twenty bucks to at the beginning of the shift.
Who's going to give them the first airport fair? Then
they're gonna wait and come back to that same hotel
(08:38):
when they drop off. And the reason they do that
is it actually minimizes the amount of driving in a
shift and the money is comparable, meaning they might not
always make as much some day as they'll make more
depending on who they're dropping off at the hotel. But
the big thing is it's just highway back and forth
as opposed to the you know, vehiculear combat that I'm
engaging in across town for twelve hours a day.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
This is actually fascinating stuff. There's a book in here
or a Netflix documentary or something in this somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
This one, well, it won't be Netflix because I'm not
trans But if I decide to make a move, well, but.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Great, Hey, Jimmy Faylor, what's on tonight's show at nine
o'clock here, it's all coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We got Steve Hilton, he's gonna be the next governor
of California. And my wife, Jenny Fayala making a rare
in studio appearance. She's trying to have an intervention with
me based on some things that have happened on the
TV show in the last week and a half. I
don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
She just said she's showing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Up as standards and practices, So I don't know what
that means. I might be single this time tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Lee's I think she's great. You've got like your own
joy Philbin there, it's great.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, she's his, She's got she's got real chops and
she does thankfully. She does have a sense of humor.
And everybody's always like, oh, how did you get her?
And I'm like, what do you mean? Women don't want
to marry an overweight cab driver who has no health
insurance and does a book.
Speaker 2 (10:01):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
