Speaker 1 (00:00):
Best trump ever. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm strong and one more thing.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
So I watch a lot of clips of stand up
comedians on YouTube and because and it's self perpetuating, you
know these things. I might not always but I started
at some point years ago, and so it's constantly feeding
me comedians. And then I click on him, and and uh,
the Shane Gillis guy had kept showing up on the
(00:30):
feed of stand up comics and I had never clicked
on it for some reason because I didn't know who
he was, but it showed up a lot. And then
he was hosting Saturday Night Live this past Saturday night,
and I got to see him for the first time.
And then I just watched a bunch of videos and
he is a funny dude, very interesting demeanor, perspective sort
of thing. I think he's uh, he's from Red Country,
(00:51):
but I think he's smart enough. Unless you're gonna like
full on do like that's your brand. I'm going to
be a Red State comic. You don't want to do
that because it eliminates so much. So he kind of
dabbles in it but acts like he's not anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Now that reminds me I was thinking the other day,
oddly enough, and I realize a lot of like hipsters
consider it a joke to take him seriously. But Jeff Foxworthy,
how he was hilarious about everything rural America, middle America, whatever,
and affectionate at the same time, And how brilliant that
(01:36):
was and how difficult that is to do. And does
that even exist now where you can gently rib your
own people and everybody can enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, I don't know, but I think Shane Gillis was
trying to avoid being put in the Jeff Foxworthy, you know,
Red State comic camp. Any Who, he went to an
interesting dude if you saw him on Saturday Night Live.
He went to West Point for a year, then left
for some reason. But it ain't easy to get into
west Point. Then he was an offensive lineman for a
football team at a Division one school for a year.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And do you mean he was alignman and he said
a lot of insensitive things and pissed people off?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Er?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Was he offensive tackle trying to stop people from knocking
when they had the ball?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
He was alignment?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yes, AnyWho? He makes a lie? Can you hand me
the ball? Jeff? Fuck you, you piece of shit? You see
that would be that would be.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
An offensive line.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
This is before he was a stand up coming, and
he makes fun of Biden a lot, and he talks
up Trump in a weird sort of way. And he
said one thing where he was talking about he said,
I'm not a Republican yet, but like I'm super into
World War two. Like if you're in your twenties and
thirties and you're into World War two, you're on your way,
it's a starter thing, on your way to being a Republican.
And but so here he is talking up Trump, and
(02:47):
he's talking about how much he misses Trump's speeches and
one particular speech that he misses, and he does just
such a great trumpe impersonation.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
But this is that is for real though it was
my favorite speech I've ever seen a president give. It
was the night. It was a night un says killed
the leader of isis. Trump comes out of the situation
room at like midnight in the White House, and he
walks down that fucking tunnel like he's gives a press conference,
like he's given a postgame NBA just killed a guy
press conference. He walks up in front of the entire world
at midnight and just goes aboo, bgar out bag, Daddy
(03:20):
is dead. He died like a dog and that's all
I hit him. UDEs, I didnt change one word of that.
That's what he opened with. And then he did forty minutes.
The speech is forty minutes for no reason. It wasn't
a prepared speech. He frees out forty straight, not even
(03:44):
a speech, just mean shit talk for forties, the meaner
shit talk you've ever heard in front of the whole world. Aboo.
We can hear him crying. I said, a boot, don't cry.
Let me tell you something. Aboo. He cried quite a bit.
Wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Cry, baby back daddy.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's what we were all calling.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Look, wow, I like what he says. I didn't change
a word of that. That's what he opened it. He
died like a dog.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Right Well. That reminds me of the speech we played
the other day. I can't even remember if he was
given Nicky haleyard time or Joe Biden. I guess it
was Joe Biden, but he was riffing and it was
so reminiscent of one of the great comedians of the
olden days in a crowded nightclub where he's just killing
(04:41):
and so he departs from his act and is just
riffing and people are loving it. And as I said
at the time, it sounded like Don Rickles at the
Copa Cabana or something, and that was Trump just riffing.
And I swear if he'd gotten tired of real estate
as a young man and had decided to become an entertainer,
which is kind I know what he is. I think
(05:03):
he could have been one of the legends.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Cry Baby, bag Daddy, that's what we were calling him.
That's what everyone is calling.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
And then Shane Gillisons was ex actually kind of funny
because this is true. They were worried about bag Daddy
having explosives or whatever, so they blew open the wall
in the side of his house and sent in fifteen
Special Forces dogs with lights on their head and goggles
on in a robot.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And he said, you imagine.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Waking out of a dead sleep, your wall's blown out,
dogs coming are in with lights on their head and
a robot.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You'd cry too, I'd cry. Patrols not to get you,
Oh wow, yeah you would.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
You would have to have a couple of seconds of thinking,
I'm clearly still asleep.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Right this is the weirdest dream ever. He died like
a dog. That was his opening. That's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
You know, the clip that we played the other day
was Trump imitating Biden and how he.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Was I have it here.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, it's good when he was doing like physical com
Why you know when.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I imitate Biden because he can't find his way off
the stage. As you all know, he makes the speech
at last, usually about a minute and a half because
the octane starts to wear off at quickly. You ever
notice he starts off strong. Within about two minutes, he
can't talk anymore, and then he walks off. You ever
notice he always goes like this. Then he comes back
(06:34):
up to the mic and he's looking.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's totally lost. The stairs all over the place.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
He could go there, there, here, he could jump off
the front of the damn plot. But he always goes
like this.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
You know what he reminds me of is Jackie Mason
when he was having like a really good show without
the obvious New York Jewish accent. But it was just
very Jackie Mason esque, which would make sense because I'm
sure Trump grew up, you know, digging those guys Jackie
and other.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Guys living room.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh yeah, it's come to think of it, yeah, yeah, clearly.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, the crowd reaction to Trump there is one of
the keys. I mean, the crowd was digging it.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Booth Bag Daddy died like a dog.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Didn't change your word of that. That was exactly what
he said.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, that's an amazing Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, I guess that's it.
Best trump ever. It's one more thing.
