Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now more, Mark Simone on seventeen. Well, you know, the
great Jimmy Fayla is now on wo R every weeknight,
nine to midnights. That excellent show, very funny, very interesting,
nine to midnight tonight every weeknight. Hey, make sure you
watch this Saturday night show on the Fox News Channel,
best late night show, funniest monologue in television. It's Saturday
(00:24):
Night's ten o'clock on the Fox News Channel. Jimmy Fayla.
How you doing.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'm doing good. I will have you know. I wrote
in the Fox Today and the Long Island Railroad with
two of your biggest fans.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh oh so okay, were great. They were Long Island people.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I did not get names, but I did take a
picture and they they said, we just want to say
we love you on Saturday night and we love that
you put your wife and your kid on TV. But
I have to tell you we always listen to you
on Mark Simone, I go, well, today's Thursday, and you
don't look like you have a radio on you And
they died laughing. So their perfect attendance might have dropped,
(01:00):
but they were man, were they all over you? Like
in all honesty, if I would have met them earlier
in the train. They probably would have bought my ticket.
So take a bow, Simone, take a bow.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You're a big star to me, Phil. What are you
doing righting on the train? Last night?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Was the Hawks? The Fox News Christmas party? Yeah, and
I was told I should not be operating heavy machinery
for at least forty eight hours after what went on
at that open bar.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I've been going all these Christmas parties. It really
gets to you after a while. How much can you eat?
How much can you drink? What do you give people
advice on how to get through these Christmas parties?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, this is the true thing you need to do,
because everybody's like, you know, etiquette at Christmas parties. Go
and have fun. Don't worry about, you know, having a
drink or two, that's not the issue. You just don't
want to be the person that everyone's talking about the
next day. You know, every company Christmas party ends with
people going, hey, did you see so and so? Okay?
(02:01):
And if you don't know who so and so is,
it was you okay, So sing all the Christmas carols
you want. Just don't be the guy with the Rudolph
antlers on standing on top of.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The bar and you'll be fun. Hey. You know in
three weeks, Mom Donnie gets inaugurated. What the hell are
we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh, that's why the Statue of Liberty is wearing a Berkeley.
I was confused. I'm kidding, confused. What are we gonna do?
This is the truth, man, Okay. My biggest concern as
a New Yorker is always gonna be for the cops
because they're doing the most important job, and I'm concerned
with their morale. In terms of policies, he really can't
(02:41):
do anything.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, we're gonna see a lot more tents on sidewalks
because he's not gonna sweep the homeless encampments. So it's
gonna be like we're living in Colder Portland. Is what's
gonna happen. We're gonna chang the New York's name to
Colder Portland for four years. But I think, and that's
why I'm happy Lakeman got in this week two is
that puts enough pressure on Hochel that she really can't
(03:07):
sell out to all of the tax things and far
left things he would need her to do to implement
his agenda, which might just save the city. Just those
two being in the race this early have to make
her a little more self conscious about blowing it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So that's my home.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know who's gonna win, but they might have
saved us.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I don't know that phrase, hkeal can't sell out? Yeah,
you underestimate her ability to sell out.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I think do you remember do you remember when they
were floating congestion pricing and she goes, hard working New
Yorkers deserve a break. That's why we're charging you an
extra nine dollars instead of an extra fifteen. No, no, no,
that's not a break. A break would be we're not
going to do congestion pricing, but instead, no, she raised
(03:49):
it by nine bucks. Yeah, she's as big of a
scam as there is. No one deserves to lose an
office more, you know, and that it kills me. So hopefully,
you know, the Republicans get their act together, because if
we can't win now with about forty percent of the
state you know, is down in Florida right now putting
plastic over a sofa, let's say, if she's not held
(04:11):
to account for that, the Republicans are never going to
win a statewide election.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah. Hey, I'm looking at this. Uh, I'm just watching this.
It's on the screen right now, the big self driving
cars in instead of uber drivers, You're gonna have a
self driving uber all this stuff. Uh, you know, I
don't even trust that rumba vacuum cleaner doing it by itself. So,
but you used to drive a cab? What you got
(04:35):
to have a driver, don't you? One hundred percent?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
There?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And it's it's for things people forget about other services
cab drivers offer. Okay, if you get in a cab
at two in the morning and go, hey, where can
I find a.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Little action around here?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know the waym doesn't know how to get the
AOC's district, but the cab driver does. You know, you
know those wonderful stories. At least once year a girl
gives birth in a taxi because the driver happened to
be a licensed part surgeon in Syria, but he can't,
you know, work here. That ain't happen in Away Mo.
And as I was telling the Lovely Carly Shimkis on
(05:13):
my show last Saturday, they say, the AI is so real,
real now that it's developing human feelings. Do you really
want to be a girl in a waymo that's now
in love with you and isn't going to let you out.
You got to explain that you're late for the meeting
because my car was putting the moves on me.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Come on, man, hey, Trump derangement syndrome. It just gets
worse and worse and worse. Like Rosie O'Donnell, What the
hell she doesn't shut up? If she hates him so much,
why does she keep talking about him?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's killing me. So she does this interview with Jim Acosta,
and the hardest part of the interview is figuring out
which one's Rosy and which one's Acosta. See they have
the same glances on and they're sitting there, you know,
hooting and hollering about Trump. It's the point of moving
to Ireland was to get away from him. You should
be done talking about it. But obviously we all knew
(06:05):
that was a stunt. But here's a pro tip.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
For everybody listening.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
If, if, if you are able to move out of
the country depending on who wins the election, you're doing
fine in life. Most people listening right now don't have
the luxury to just pick up and switch country. You
got money to do that. You know what I'm saying.
So at least she held on to some of the royalties.
She didn't give them all to her Xanax dealer.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Hey, Jimmy Faylis on WOR every weeknight, Now, it's an
excellent show nine to midnight. What do you got on
tonight show?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, we got Kennedy coming by, which is going to
be great. And I believe you're gonna hear a cameo
from my wife, Jenny Fyala. It is her birthday today,
and you know, booking her on TV and radio is
way cheaper than buying her a gift mark. Come on, man,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, she seems she seems great, But why do keep
having your wife? Wouldn't be great, isn't it. Don't you
want to get away from the I've never seen that
such a happy marriage.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
But the way my life works with radio five nights
a week on O R and all the TV they
make me do it Fox, and then I go on
the weekend, I won't usually doing stand up at a
feeder somewhere. The actually is the only time I see
her as if I book her on TV.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
So it works out for me, you know, and it
does a great show every Saturday night on the Fox
News Channel ten to eleven. It's that's the best monologue.
That is the best monologue on TV. How long does
it take you to do? You don't write that all
in one day, did you? I do?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I read it all myself, but I spend the whole
week putting it together, meaning, you know, figuring out which
stories rise to the level of everyone in the country
will know them. And once I've figured out which stories
kind of have the altitude, you just sit down and
piece it together. It's your own little narrative. And it
is the most fun I'll ever have in show business
doing that because it's just you. There's nobody there to
(07:51):
save you. There's no panelists to get out of trouble.
And again, if it Joe, you're a lot of TV
a lot of these nights. If a joke don't work,
you gotta save it, you know. And it's one thing
to say, even in a comedy club when you're just
talking to like, you know, one hundred screaming drunks in
a Basslaurette party drinking out of you know.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Genitalia straws.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But it's another thing when there's a couple million people
watching and you're.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
On the biggest channel in the world. I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It's a very very high wire thing to do, so
I'm glad you appreciate it. Man.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, it's the best monologue in television. He writes it himself.
Stephen Colbert does a week week monologue. And I look,
he's got fourteen writers. What the hell do these fourteen
guys do?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, that is the second biggest scam behind those Somalians
who got the billions. I actually think I held the
Somalians in higher regards than Colbert writers because that's technically
a bigger ripoff.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh that's a good point. So you got to listen
to him every night, nine to midnight. And now your
wife's birthday, what do you do for her? What are
you gonna get her something? You're gonna take her out?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know what, she is going out. We're gonna go
out to dinner on Long Island. She wanted to see
a play, so I got tickets to see the Michael
Jackson play. Apparently, this Michael Jackson is so realistic. People
keep their kids away from them. I can't stop it.
Then we'll go eat some Italian food on Long Island.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's gonna be great, very good. All right, it sounds
like a great way to celebrate. And tonight nine to midnight.
You having fun doing the radio show, right.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Oh, it's so great. I love OAR because it's my people,
you know what I mean. So it doesn't even feel
like a radio show. It just feels like you're talking
too much at your aunt's house. Great, so great because
it's our people, you know, New York. We live in
our own energy, you know. And there's so many great
people in the city in Staten Island. And I love like,
on the rare occasion that I'm on the railroad, I
(09:39):
will always meet an o R listener that has something
to say about you and me, and it's my favorite figure.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
We're like a roadduo.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
We're gonna have to start playing Atlantic City. Seem like
a Martin Lewis or something like that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Definitely anytime. Well, if you haven't listened, Jimmy Fail is
on nine to midnight tonight every weeknight, nine to midnight.
It's an excellent show. It's very funny. You'll love it
nine to midnight, and make sure you're watching them on TV.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.
