Peas mister New York Mark Simone on sen wo R. Well,
Jimmy Payla, the great comedian, the excellent talk show host.
You can hear him now every night at nine o'clock
right here on WR every night nine to midnight. Hey,
and don't miss his Saturday night show, Fox News Channel.
It's the best late night talk show, finest monologue in TV.
(00:22):
Saturday nights at ten, Fox News Channel at w R
every weeknight here at nine, Jimmy Fayla, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm doing?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Man? This is it last week of normalcy before Mom
Donnie takes over. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Two weeks from today he actually has an inauguration day.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, that's that's the exact day. So I was explaining
this to people from out of town. I'm like, you know,
you still get sidewalk santas till about the thirty first,
but then they go home and you get.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Mom Donnie asking for money instead.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It just changes seasons just like that.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hey, I feel all fat and bloated and these I
can't go to like four hundred Christmas parties in two weeks.
So you have the same problem.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh, buddy, it is so bad because the food right now, Like,
I'm not even halfway into what I'm what I'm committed
to eat between now and Christmas, and I already have
the wardrobe department chasing me with an ozembic needle. So
I'm going a tough spot here, Simon. Like I come
(01:28):
calling sick to a Christmas party.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I've never done that before.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
No thousands of my one buffet. You know, I didn't.
I forgot you could actually eat sitting down. I didn't
even know you could do that anymore. So, Hey, what
do you think of this? The Oscar. It's been on
television for a million years, ABC for decades. It's going
to YouTube. What does that signify?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, we always knew the show was too long, and
know how they would say it was too long, and
they're worried about advertising and stuff. I don't know that
any he even cares like they have fallen so far
in prestige, Like you think about that, okay? Like the
Oscars used to be like the classiest, biggest spectacle in
(02:09):
the history of the of the country every year, like
that was the night, like the one night. Now they're
gonna be co headlining YouTube with a dog riding a skateboard.
You know, some guy teaching a blow up doll how
to salsedan Like. It doesn't seem like a fall in class,
a little bit a fall from grace maybe.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well yeah, but you're right. They used to have to,
you know. They were yelling to wrap it up by
eleven o'clock for the news YouTube. They can take five
hours if they want so. It'll it'll, yep, totally get
out of control. So New Year's Eves that's the worst
night of the year, isn't it. It's a really annoying night.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh buddy. If you are driving a cab, which is
how I started out in New Year's Eve, everyone should
do it once. It's like going to watch the ball
drop in Husker. You should do it once, you know,
if you could, you could do it once. Nobody I
know does it twice. I don't know a cab driver
who has driven multiple New Year's Eaves. They've driven one, okay,
and they've seen everything you'd expect to see. Okay. It's
(03:06):
like a well dressed Saint Patrick's Day parade, you know,
Saint Patrick States Parade. All of my drunk relatives come
into the city marching the parade. Then they're hammered and
screaming and breaking up and crying. And that's pretty much
New Year's Eve, except you're trapped in a small vehicle
with him instead of a bar with a jukebox.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's intense in New yeark c e.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
When you make more money, when you make a fortune
on New Years Eve as a cab.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Driver, Yeah, but you wind up giving half of it
to the guy at the garage who has to clean
all the substances out of the back.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, hey, Joe Biden, he seems to be showing up
in public more and more, making more speechies. What the
hell why is he suddenly out in public everywhere?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I don't like, I don't get what's going on
with that, because you know, we watched him last week
when he said the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Of amer got it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Do you remember that again with the United States of
America got it? And you know I always tell you this.
He may makes me feel bad for the sign language
interpret you know, because that guy finally got a break
after four years of having to make up sign Now
Biden's back out on the road inventing words like if
you're the sign language interpreter guy, you don't have a
(04:15):
symbol for amerigot it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You know, that's a good point. Hey, Trump's President Trump's
speech last night. I don't know. I don't think he's
going his best reading off the teleprompter, do you no.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And it was funny because he delivered the speech like
he had ten thousand people screaming in.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
An arena, which made it look a.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Little weird in a dry room. You know, he was
kind of like overperforming. And somebody was telling me, well, like, well,
you don't understand the networks only gave him a fifteen minutes.
I get that, but it doesn't mean just because you
have fifteen minutes, you need to squeeze in two hours
and ten minutes worth of material like he was. You know,
that was a runway stream and he made a lot
(04:56):
of good points, but like, you don't necessarily process them
all when they match it that quick. So the one
thing I took away from it though, is, as I
was saying on Twitter, he gave money to the troops.
So we've got a president who gives money to the troops.
The last president gave drag shows to the troops, So
I think we're in a better place.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Hey. Also, he was missing all the bells and whistles.
Usually when you do a speech, you know, you have
all the cabinet around, you're shaking hands after you're done,
or something like that, or like a little pregame. They
didn't do any of that, did they. Everybody else was gone.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, it was the state it was it was the
state of the Union minus the Union. But he he
came out.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You know, he's very forceful.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Uh, and you know he made points. But the thing is,
it's we do one thing about Trump, like if it's
on his mind, it's on your television, it's on your
Twitter feed. Like he doesn't necessarily have the bedside manner
of like good evening and happy holidays. It literally opened
with like Joe Biden has dementia. He routined the country
(05:57):
we were about to die. I turned it around and happy.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Holidays, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Hey. Danngeo Dan Bungino's leaving the FBI, And I was
saying before I can understand you would know it's fun
to do a TV show, it's fun to do a
radio show. Who would give that up to go sit
at a desk in FBI headquarters and it's the most
boring job.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Only you're not the only one who's asked yourself that question?
Because you want to know what he probably was killing
him too, is you know, when he was in the
podcast space, he could say whatever the hell he wanted,
none of it needed to be true. And you know
he was selling merch like Epstein.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Didn't hang himself, Like that's what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
But then when you get into that job, you got
to rein it in a little bit. And it also
sucks because things that you say can be disproven, Like
remember when he had to go on TV and go
I know I used to say he didn't hang himself,
but trust me, I saw the evidence he hung himself.
And what I loved about that video is if you
looked close, you could see the CIA person been pointing
(07:00):
the gun at him from behind the curtain. It's nice,
nice the way they do that, you know, But.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You know, all of our Fox buddies, like I don't know,
Sean Duffy, whoever, would you rather be doing a TV
show than the transportation secretary meeting with railroad union exact?
Who the hell wants to do that all day?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Well, I would rather be doing TV than anything because
if I had a cabinet job, they.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Would run a background check and that'd be the end
of all of it.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You know, my twenties who but I get it. It's
it's a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
For a minute though, because it's the one for a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
A lot of people for a minute. A lot of
people who work in news don't want to cover the story.
They want to be the story. So if you get
one of those jobs, for a little while, you're the story.
But then what you've come to realize is, you know,
being the story gets old.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, and that's I think where we're at now.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Hey, Jimmy Fahyl is on w o R every night.
It's an excellent show. It's very funny, entertaining, good formative
nine to midnight every weeknight. And what do you got
tonight on the show?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Oh, it is all going down. We actually have the
founder of the Manhattan Comedy Schools who has been in
stand up you know, he started Caroline Networks down Gotham
Comedy Club, and we're coming to talk comedy, actually comedy
over the holidays and how we.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Can save you.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You don't get along with So it's kind of like
we're doing an interview.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, America, Well, we urge everybody to listen. Because all
of you who start telling jokes and think you're actually funny,
listen to professionals give you some guidance on how to
do it. That would be great.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You're gonna charge you, man, It's the least we could do.
At least we could do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Hey, listen tonight at nine. Also make sure you watch
He's got the best late night showing TV Saturday Nights
at ten o'clock. Every Saturday night ten o'clock Fox News Show.
A little too early to know what you're going to
do Saturday night though, right.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh, I have a good idea of what's coming down
the pipe.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Though we have. This is a wow when Neil de
grat Tyson is coming off, which.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Is a big deal because it's not every day the
guy who runs this planetarium hangs out with the kids
who got stoned on the school.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Trips to the planetarium.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You know what I mean. It's a nice touch, but
we're excited. It's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
All right. That's Saturday Nights at ten. And also he's

be off for two weeks. Actually I'm off tomorrow. Ken
Rizzotto be here tomorrow, but for the next two weeks
after that, the final two weeks of the year, Curtis
Sliwa will be filling in for me. That should be interesting.
And it's that time everybody. It's not just me, you know.
Down the hall, Elvis Durant taking two weeks off over there,
(09:57):
Charlemagne taking two weeks. It's the Christmas break everyday, but
it kind of disappears. But we'll have the best fill in.
Kurtisliwa will be here every day ten to noon on
