On Tuesday night, Trump said we were on the verge of a deal to finally end the war in Iran. "We're in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal, and the straight will open up right away. It will open up immediately upon signing, which could be in two or three days." Two or three days? Why? It's been two or three days. Let's check in and see if our big boy was right. "The U.S. attacking Iran, Iran now retaliating, a dangerous escalation in the war that's now on day 102." "Oh, so we wore it two or three days away from a deal at all. I haven't been in this shock since the time I asked the cast of Real Housewives of Rhode Island to come to my nephews' recital as long as they promise to sit quietly and not get drunk and call each other horrors." On Thursday, President Trump called into Fox and friends to discuss the latest strikes. "And they're getting decimated, just decimated, and they're dying to make a deal. They want to make a deal so badly. But you know, you read The New York Times, and you read The Wall Street Journal, which is so fake. I mean, I know you guys own it, but it's a real piece of garbage." "Sometimes it's funny. What are you going to do?" "Trump talks about Iran, the way your delusional friend talks about her non-existent relationship. So how are things going with Jeff? He's obsessed with me and said he cannot wait to hang out after he gets through award season." The president went on to say this, "Not anything, I'm hard enough. We dropped $250 million with a bomb on him last night. You know, the whole thing is crazy. But and they're really in submission, they just don't know it yet." $250 million bomb, what did he drop on Iran, the Mandalorian in Grogu? Speaking of not working, New Labor Department data released Wednesday found that inflation hit a three-year high of 4.2 percent. "Do you miss me?" Yet said Joe Biden, his robe wide open. Trump, however, isn't worried. "We can serve as the president about the latest inflation number which came out this morning. Could that be a. I love the inflation." So he runs to stop inflation, then personally causes prices to spike through tariffs in the war. Then he says he loves inflation. Like if you insisted on replacing your own septic tank instead of hiring professionals and then telling everyone in your life that you actually love the smell of raw sewage. Trump also revealed there was a secret mission. "You know, I can say it now, something you didn't know. We've been taking out millions of barrels of oil. Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran until right now." "Mr. President, that was a dream you had at the next game." This is of course not true. You can't secretly move oil tankers through the strait of Hormuz because they're giant fucking oil tankers that you can see from the shoreline. Trump later posted that this daring heist was successful because, quote, "The United States of America controls the strait of Hormuz, not Iran. Their military is defeated and their economy has lost its over for Iran." Say it again, but slower, said Lindsey Graham, soaked head to toe in crude oil. Speaking of terrible mental images, journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan publish an excerpt from their upcoming book detailing the Trump White House's internal deliberations over the Epstein files last summer. According to the report, "JD Vance, Cash Patel, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Comedian Burke-Crisher for some reason, and Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles convened in the White House situation room to strategize a response. There was no Burke-Crisher. He was not there. I'd just say." "If you're worried, if you'd like Burke-Crisher, he wasn't in the secret White House deliberations over the Epstein files. I made that up. Trump refused to entertain any plan to release the file," said Trump. "We just have to treat this story like a teenage girl and wait six months for it to get old and boring." "I'm pretty okay over there, aren't I?" According to the excerpt in the Times, Vance suggested that Tucker Carlson interviewed Galein Maxwell in prison. "It's an amazing idea. I love it. I am furious it didn't happen. This is like when you find out that we almost had a Superman with Nicolas Cage, it wouldn't have been good. It would have been a disaster, but it should still exist." Dan Bungino, who was then FBI Deputy Director, tore into Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Fiasco saying, "You fucked this thing up from the start. That dumb fucking charade with the Epstein files. The there on my desk, nonsense." Bungino told the White House that Bondi needed to resign and called the Epstein saga "Trump's Iran Contra." This was, of course, last year before Iran became Trump's Iran Contra. In the report's creepiest passage, during yet another meeting in the White House situation room, a senior aide described an unsealed civil suit, which described an accuser's allegation about, and I am sorry, "Trump aggressively flicking and sucking a young woman's nipples until they looked incredibly painful. The meeting abruptly ended because everyone puked and sat and died." In other disgusting little worm news, Texas has seen an outbreak of disgusting little worms. Yes, screw worms are eradicated in this country since the 1960s are back, but don't let the name scare you. So-called screw worms are actually nothing more than flesh-eating bugs that lay eggs in open wounds and in the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or genitals, hatching into parasitic maggots that burrow into the living tissue of livestock, pets, and human beings. At R.F.K. Junior, yum! Last year, Doge cut funding for screw worm monitoring programs in over a thousand employees from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Trump administration also lifted a suspension of Mexican cattle imports, allowing livestock into the country without monitoring that had been in place. The Trump administration is, of course, blaming Joe Biden and immigrants. Here's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. Now, this does trace back to the last administration and the open border policy and the movement of millions of people and their animals up from South America through Central America. So let's just understand what she's suggesting here. These dastardly woke screw worms snuck into the country under Joe Biden and then they just hid, waiting almost two years to start attacking cattle in order to make Trump look bad. This is agricultural commissioner, it's so fucking stupid. He's been president, I'm sorry, but he's been president for two years, they're bugs. We all dealt with bugs. If you have bugs, you don't say God damn it, that gardener three years ago really fucked up. We all know how fucking bugs work. It's quick with bugs. Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller slammed the administration for moving too slowly and said that you can look for higher beef prices because of the failure of the USDA to control this pest. Now, before I tell you if Sid Miller is a Democrat or a Republican, I'm going to show you a picture of this man and you'll guess. What do we think? Do we think he voted for Kamala or Trump? So hard to know. Imagine if this were your dad and you had to tell him you were gay and that you wanted to borrow his fabulous vest. Now in response, Brooke Rollins slammed Miller who is a Republican and called him quote an unserious ag commissioner with just a few months left because he, like all of us, will soon be food for the screw worms. Now as of this recording, there are seven confirmed screw worm cases in the US, including one dog in New Mexico. Thanks for stepping in to kill that dog infected with screw worm, Kristie Nome. Sid, said Kristie Nome, the dog had what now? Not to worry, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is on the case. Here he is questioning Rollins on Wednesday. - It's been a couple months, maybe three months since I talked to you about vaccination for screw worms. We talked about it and you were gonna look into it. So what's the chances of use of vaccination to get us beyond this? - Right, so the screw worm is a flesh eating pest and not a virus or a disease. - Chuck, we don't have vaccines for things you can hold in your hand. You represent a farm state. Vaccine for bugs, that's a hammer. (audience laughing) And besides, we're not gonna solve this thing by giving cows autism. (audience laughing) On Thursday, Rollins unveiled her new plan. - Department of Homeland Security, we talked yesterday about using their drones and perhaps it through very quick innovation, having an artificial intelligence piece of this, where you put AI on the drones that they can fly across all of our millions of acres of wildlife in this state. - When reached for comment, the AI drone said, you're right to push back. Those weren't Yorkshire pigs with screw worm. That was a buckies parking lot after a Texas A&M game. My apologies for the confusion. If you'd like, I can generate a list of local funeral homes. (audience laughing) Imagine it's 2024, Brat Summer. You suddenly find yourself transported to 2026. And you find out that the Trump administration is planning to deploy AI drones to fight the flesh eating worms, then whoosh, you're back in 2024. Do you tell anyone, or do you just kill yourself? (audience laughing) Well, you made your decision. And in Maine, they made theirs. Graham Platner won the Democratic primary and addressed the controversy surrounding his candidacy. If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change. (audience cheering) And the reason I believe that is because I have lived it. (audience laughing) And the reason that I have lived it is because of my wife. (audience cheering) - Which is why I am proud to reveal my new tattoo, my beautiful wife doing a Hyle Hitler in tasteful blackface. (audience laughing) Platner also previewed his attacks against Susan Collins. - She has become justice spineless and corrupt as the establishment she now serves. (audience cheering) She got elected, promising to protect Rovers' way. Only to turn around and put on a justice, put a justice as a Supreme Court who overturned it. - She lied to us. (audience cheering) - Which is why I am proud to reveal my other new tattoo, Ruth Bader Ginsburg doing a Hyle Hitler in tasteful blackface. (audience laughing) Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Congresswoman Nancy Mays finished fifth in her state's gubernatorial primary, failing to advance to the runoff. For her part, Delaware Congresswoman Sarah McBride had this message for her erstwhile antagonist during a speech to gay advocates. - I don't like punching down and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is happy pride, Nancy. (audience cheering) - Revealing a truth, Nancy Mays couldn't find in her policing of every women's room in Capitol Hill. Sarah McBride is serving Kant. All right. - And we have got a great show for you tonight. We'll be right back with Jerry O'Connell. (audience cheering) - Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It Or Leave It coming up. - Love Or Leave It is brought to you by Quint. In the summer, I don't want to overthink what I'm wearing.

Love to leave it as brought to you by Z-biotics. Let's face it after a night with drinks. I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is, until I found pre-alcohol. Z-biotics, pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut, it's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's the blame for rough days after drinking. And pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. I love Z-biotics. I use it all the time. I'm a huge fan of it. It's great to take when you know you're going to have a couple drinks because you really do feel better the next morning. We had it at my wedding. People really loved it. Highly recommend it. Go to Z-biotics.com/loveit.

Hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for being here. Buddy, put an honor to be here. Oh, man, just trying not to get a screw worm this summer. Yeah. Hey, listen. Is there any prevention? Can we use like bug spray or anything? Or I think that only excites them. Also, waiting for that straight of Hormuz to open up. This summer's just a route. Hey, send this so anxious so far. Yeah. Yeah, we got the straight of Hormuz. We got not enough action on the straight of Hormuz. Too much screw worm action. It is funny. I am on straight of Hormuz. Watch, I wake up in the morning. I do personal business. I'm older, so I have to go do personal business immediately. And I check to see if that straight opened up. And here we are. Another day, the straight's not open up. Yeah. It's a bummer about that. So you're watching Real Housewives? I have not started watching Rhode Island yet. I'm so sorry. I hear-- Oh, my god. It feels-- It's because they all are. It's-- you're back in a world where it feels like they have been fighting since long before the camera showed up. So it is crazy that we do like our housewives to be volatile with each other. No one here can don't violence. Like not at all. Just want to say, love it or leave it. Does not condone violence. Except if it's in the form of housewives. I do hear that the real housewives of Rhode Island gets back to just jealous fighting. It's not about selling products. It's just about people getting upset with their neighbors, which is what we look for. I will say, I am coming off of the whole summer house thing, which is on Bravo. If those don't know, it's a group of people who've been getting sort of a share, a summer share. And there was a big controversy about people hooking up with people. I've been a little quiet about that because there was a big controversy that happened where one of the housemates who was married-- who was no longer married-- hooked up with another male housemate and the young lady who hooked up with the other housemate. I know everyone's confused right now. I'm so sorry we should probably-- a lot of people tuned in to talk about politics and now they're talking about this. I'm so sorry. But I did take the side of the two people who hooked up because I felt like especially the young lady, Amanda Batula, is her name, was looking for-- just looking for a relationship. And I felt bad for her and that's going to-- you're going to get a bunch of comments calling me a monster after saying that, but-- How could you say that? I know. With everything that's going on-- But I should be talking more about my movie on Toobie Summer's Last Resort. Toobie Summer's Last Resort. I'm not getting paid for it all. So Summer's Last Resort. Good, very good title. Summer's Last Resort. It's a puzzle of a title. Yeah, it's a really good title. Emily, our writer, came up with a really fun-- I'm not even kidding. It's so funny when I tell people I'm in a movie called Summer's Last Resort, they're like, well, like Hollywood. types are like, "Good title." But I play a stepfather who's trying to be a friend. My new teenage step children. And we go on a vacation. And I'm trying to marry Sophia Bush, my co-star, beautiful young lady, great actress. We had a lot of fun together. We shot in hotels, so it really wasn't work. I imagine it's what white lotus is like. You just live in a hotel and they're like, all right, wake up. You've got to go to work. And it's like, yeah, I'm at the pool already. Just roll camera. Mike White is genius. He's like, I have an idea. We're going to go to the nicest resorts on planet earth for six months at a time. And what an incredible-- I know. And it's such a great show as well. So good. But this is a little more family-friendly summer's last resort. It's not like the gaze-- the gaze are trying to kill me kind of thing from the white lotus. It's not like, yeah, graphic sex. It's not like the graphic sex from white lotus. Remember when the nephew was with the young Cole in the bedroom? And yeah, there was graphic sex, oral sex. Yeah, yeah, all kinds of stuff happens in that cell. There was not in your movie. No. And by the way, I'm sorry to be if we're even affiliated with that. It is a family movie. It's just love it or leave it as a little race year. So I was getting a little away with that. You could say whatever. It's a really fun family movie. And you know what? I'm actually going to get serious for a second. We have a big star in summer's last resort named Violet McGraw, who is a young actress. I believe she's 15. And she's so good. And I want to say, I want to get serious for a moment. I was a child actor. I was in stand by me. Yeah. Thank you. I was kind of expecting a larger applause for that. I was a child actor. I was in a little movie called Stand By Me. [APPLAUSE] Thank you. Wow, thank you. This is amazing. That's beautiful. I almost too much. But Rob Reiner, God rest his soul recently passed away and his wife, Michelle. And it made me very reflective about what Rob Reiner did for me, in terms of being in the entertainment industry, what is expected of me as a performer? What I'm good at, who I am. Not to be afraid to make jokes, like to go for it. If you want to make a joke about a screwworm, go. Like try it. Like just get crazy. Go for it. And this is the first summer's last resort on Toobie, coming out this summer. Was the first project I did since Rob Reiner passed. And I was working with this young cast member, Violet McGraw. And I was like, I'm going to try and instill in her what Rob instilled in me. And we had a really fun time. I really have like a-- since Rob's passing, I really have like a different role on sets. I don't know if it's getting older. I just have like, I enjoy working with younger people and sort of passing on what Rob really passed on to me in stand by me. Sorry to get so serious, everybody, but-- No, it's not, what do you feel like as someone who-- there's a lot of people that started acting at a young age. And it is brutal and cruel. And they don't make it out. It fucks them up for a long time, and they struggle. What do you have advice you give to a young person on set? Do you have lessons that you think young actors need to know that the parents of young actors should know? Yeah, I mean, you know, I was in a little movie called "Stand By Me." [APPLAUSE] Yeah, audiences always do that, man. It's crazy. And my parents, when it came out and it was really successful, I was fortunate enough that my success in "Stand By Me" had didn't change how they were going to raise me as a child. I don't know if that makes any sense. I think you see a lot of younger actors if they find success because they're good, because they have that thing, you know? And I was fortunate enough to be with Rob Reiner, who literally, like day one was like, hey, Jerry, go crazy in the scene. Like, go crazy, and I'll tell you when to come down. And it taught me to, when I come out on stage, to perform. And like, someone will tell you, like, I mean, Mr. Elle, you'll tell me when to take it down. And that's right. I mean, I could, I won't. But my parents, my success in "Stand By Me" our family didn't revolve around that. My parents, my mom's teacher, my dad worked in an office. And I went to college, you know, education was the most important thing to my parents. And then when I was an adult, I realized I want to pursue this. Like, hey, I'm good at it, depending on what comments you read on Reddit, but-- And also, I've had such a head start being in "Stand By Me." You know, if I walk into a casting room, people are like, oh, yeah, you were in that movie. And so I was fortunate enough to not have parents who-- so I can't blame the kids and their decisions. I think it has a lot to do with their parents and the sort of the world that they put them in. Tell me when the show starts. Yeah, once we had the cameras in a position, we're going to go on. Now, I do want to ask you about a show that I loved, which was "Sliders." And it's funny we were talking about this because we're coming on the show that there's a lot of people now that say something like, oh, once Trump got elected, we slid into the wrong timeline. The Marvel universe is all about different universes now. We live in a post-Sliders world. I'm often saying. Let me just explain for the 99.99% to have no idea what you're talking about. Didn't realize you were such a sci-fi nerd, Mr. L. But I was in a TV show called "Sliders" in the mid '90s on Fox. And it was about a group of strangers who slide to parallel dimensions of Earth. And they're trapped just going from one parallel Earth to the next with slight tweaks. By the way, this is pretty incredible. You can look it up in 1995, we do an episode where Donald Trump is president of the United States. Yeah, look it up. What? I don't remember that. Look it up. I remember the one with the Golden Gate Bridge was blue. That was one. And I think you guys should have stayed there. By this close enough, I believe the episode where Donald Trump was president of the United States, we quickly slid to another world. I'm not saying why we slid or not, that was our choice. But the next world we went to, this is not a joke. Look it up. I may be a little bit wrong. But Hillary Clinton was the president in the other world. This is in the mid '90s. I'm not joking. That was our writers, our writer who created a Tracy Tormay used to come up with these really cool parallel universes. And he was very politically minded. And what if he was a time traveler who had slid-- Thank you. --people are freaking out about Sliders here. They're loving it. Yeah, but it was a multiverse show. And it was before the Marvel universe does all the multiverse stuff. It's occasionally very rarely. Someone will come up to me and be like, dude, you're the multiverse guy. I really feel like I'm the only-- like the three of us, this gentleman right here. That's like it. It's time for a game work on. Hope you have the timeline of your life. Here's how it's going to work. I'm going to give you two earth timelines. And you're going to pick the one you'd rather live in, OK? It's a Sliders timeline. These are inspired by Sliders. OK. First up, a universe where we have universal basic income, but we also have giant carnivorous sandworms like the movie Tremors, or a universe where we've eradicated malaria. But Jeffrey Epstein is the president. Oh, god. And you're in a 20-year binding contract to host the talk. [LAUGHTER] The talk was a daytime show. I hosted for five or six seasons. I love everybody who was a part of it. Thank you so much. It was a good time. Anything with Epstein has got to go. I'm going to choose the sandworms and the universal-- Great. --the universal choice. Good choice. Good choice. You can't-- wow, that Epstein stuff. Just wait a term me off. Wow. Sorry. I would have loved that talk money for a few more years, but you had to throw Epstein's photo up there. That's what makes it a complicated thing. A universe where Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, but all food tastes like peeps, or a universe where Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, but once a day at a random time, you, Jerry O'Connell, shit your pants. And the paparazzi follow you constantly until it happens that day, because it's like part of our national culture. [LAUGHTER] I mean, what was the thing with the peeps-- And for everyone on Earth, all food tastes like peeps all the time. Oh, yeah. I'll take that. Peeps are incredible. So you're telling me, but listen what you've just chosen. You have said that you want to consign all human beings on earth to only basically taste peeps forever. or you can make a sacrifice and just shit yourself at a random time once a day, then food is great. But now, nobody will know about the peeps part of it. - All right, you know what, let me switch my answer. I'll do the shitting, my pants. - I think it's like so on here. - It's like I'm just like, come care. - You see what I'm saying? It's like, don't make fun of me, guys. No, I did it for the greater good, you know? - Yeah, I did it for the greater good. You'd better be cool about it. Next up, a universe where you are married to your Sliders' co-star, John Reese Davies. But he's cheating on you with your brother, Charlie O'Connell. Or a universe where you and John Reese Davies are blissfully married, but the world is also populated with cyborg terminators that look just like John Reese Davies. (audience laughing) - I don't know, I'm sort of like a modern love kind of guy. - Yeah, I wouldn't mind like my brother. Myself and John Reese Davies are like three. No, I'm not, I don't have to have sex with my brother, right? - No, it could be at separate times, for sure. - I don't have sex with my brother, that's like getting weird. But yeah, I'm okay with John and my brother. - Yeah, okay, wow, that's what I'm hoping. - That's, yeah, oh my God, it'll come out. - Yeah, that's fine, you're not gonna be jealous. - Come on, Mr. Elle, you know, I'm cool, I'm loose, I'm loose. - Mr. Elle. (audience laughing) - Oh my God, Mr. Elle. - A universe where palatine. - Hold on a second, remember when Billy D. Williams had to rescind saying he was sexually fluid. Remember someone asked him if someone asked Billy D. Williams if he was fluid, and he was like, yeah, fluid, yeah, fluid. - Everybody's fluid, and then someone explained him what it meant. - He was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - A universe where palatine to your history and the entire world into one cop style reality TV show, and everyone loves you on it, you're like the breakout star, or a universe where we have a food replicator like in Star Trek, but Rebecca Romaine only knows you as that annoying guy she met one time who did push-ups to impress her at the 2004 Maxim Hot 100 Party in Las Vegas. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, um, you know what, I think I'm gonna be happy that I don't know what, I think I'm gonna be happy about this. I don't know what Palantir is. - Oh, it's like a big tech kind of surveillance company. - I'm so glad I don't know what that is. - Oh, no, well, oh, no, maybe I should know what it is, so that I know that I'm being like, uh, watched by electric-- - Yeah, it's like that, yeah, it's like that. Like private eyes are watching you. - Yeah, I'm not into that. I'm gonna choose anything with my wife. I love my wife, we just had, we just had something to eat. I love her. - Yeah, that's how you met, right? You were doing push-ups in some sort of an event? - I wasn't doing push-ups. We met at a, your audience is so young, they're not gonna know what this is.

Please welcome to the stage comedian actor musician and the real Barack Obama. It's Jay Farrow. What's up? Good to see you. Welcome back. Good to see you again. Come on. Time, baby. Where's it? Right there. Yeah, that's great. Hi. Yeah. What's up? Hi. What's happening? Good to see you. Good to see you too. So you have a new album on Friday. And it's called The Odyssey. Yes. And now, is it-- and you know that there's like a-- you know about the other-- you know there's another Odyssey. Yeah. But, you know, they plagiarized. Oh. Yeah. And the reason I say that is because actually, we created this two years ago. We're just putting it out now. So, yeah. Christopher Nolan stole from us, you know? Yeah. It ain't the same thing. You're not going to see no Greek mythology monsters and no half naked white men running around. It's none of that. You know what I'm saying? This is all-- this is all music. It's Jay Farrow and another type of dimension. But the same type of core values. You feel me? Yeah. Because I mean, yeah, OK. All right. So, because this guy had all the power in the world. He was on a mission to find another planet. So, because Earth is like, Earth is trash. You know what I mean? I mean, this is later. And yeah, he gets all this power. And he gets all this money. And he saves these folks. And he realizes that having all of that means nothing. Unless you have love, man. And he finds love. And that is the greatest thing. You know? And the greatest gift that you could do is give everything back. Because you can't take any of it with you. You know? So, yeah. [APPLAUSE] Disagree. Disagree. No, no. For me, you have to get as much as you can. Yeah. Slime the greasy pole. Get to the top. Yeah. And then just behold. Go to the parties. They're all about the parties. Yeah. Now, it needs to be loud. Because otherwise thoughts, you got to keep it loud. Keep it loud. Keep it loud. Otherwise thoughts. But as long as you don't let your thawns in success. Loud and slippery. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Wet loud slippery. Wet loud and slippery. I'm like, hot. Like this. Yeah. That's what life should feel like. Yeah. Yeah. Look, some people are freaked out. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, that impressed. That was spot on. I'm not going to explain what I just impersonated, but it was spot on, you know, for the people who follow me right now. Yeah. Yeah. It's good to see you. It's good to see you too. You know what, man? I love talking like myself, because I'm funny as me. You know, like, you know what I'm saying? It's kind of cool to just be able to kick it. You know, y'all don't know what I'm doing with the character, but I promise you, this is my real voice. [LAUGHTER] But is it weird being yourself now? No. It's like you got to hide behind people for a long time. I did. I did. But you know what, man? I'm 38, dog. Yeah, it's about time. Yeah, that's right. Clap. Yeah, clap for the millennials. Yeah, that's right. We could write cursive. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. That's what we got. The cue is weirder than you think. Remember that cue? Yeah. The cursive cue. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's basically a two. What are we doing here? You know what, man? We had to do home roll keys and all of that. Yeah. Yeah, we survived school lunches. Remember because school lunches were bad for us. They gave us that spoiled chocolate pet milk. Yeah. And then they gave us the rectangle pieces of pizza with the cue pepperonis and that little orange crust at the bottom. Yeah. Nobody told you what the crust was. You just ate it. You were a kid. Your body's great. You're not going to die. You're not going to die yet. You know? And then, you know, we had to take the physical fitness test. Remember that? Yeah. Whether you was fat or skinny. Yeah. There was a lot of boys, little boys running around. Flapping breasts. You know? Yeah. I was one of them. Yeah. My mom was flapping. All my friends was like, "Yo, dog. I ain't know you was so thick." I said, "I don't know why you looking at me like that." Yeah. That was really weird. Yeah, we had to do that, you know what I mean? So, yeah, good. (audience laughing) And remember, it's such a crazy thing to make kids. Hey, once a year on a random Tuesday, you're gonna have to run a mile in front of everyone. We don't prepare you for this. We don't tell you, and basically, we're just gonna find out who's first and who's last. And the kids that are first, they're gonna wait for you to finish. (audience laughing) That was terrible for me. It was terrible for you. Terrible. It was terrible for us. This is a bad for us. We grew up. I remember we were picking teens for something. Yeah. And it was me and this other little boy, and he had thick glasses and played the clarinet, and I was me. And it came down to just the two of us about who was gonna be picked last. And when he looked at me and saw that it was just me and him, he burst out crying. And I'm like, why are you crying? I'm consoling him because he's so sad to be at my level. (audience laughing) And I was like, why are you crying? This was always how it was gonna be. This, a look, man, Chuck E. Fester wasn't having it. He didn't like what was going on, man. You got picked last, too? I did, too. But only because I was built like my sister at the time. Yeah. You're a Chuck E. as a kid? Yeah, I was Chuck. I had hips, you know, still. And you know what? It's still to this day. You know, they still, when I do the squats, I'd be a little weary. You know what I'm gonna be like. I'd be like, yo, if I keep going, you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna be a fatty girl, you know what I'm saying? Jerry was Chubby as a kid. You were Chubby? I was, I was, I was Husky. I wasn't. Yeah. But his character in Stand By Me, which is 40 years. Yeah. Wow. So Jerry. He represented, he represented the Husky. Yeah, there was a, you remember there was a section in the Montgomery Woods for Husky folks. Yes. You know, Husky is just a way of people calling you thick, politely, because it, it is nobody. Now you ain't gonna walk into a party. You just show them husknot. Nobody's gonna do that, you know? You're a fat, you're fat, sir, you know? Your grandmother, your grandmother has tried to pacify you, because, but, you know, beside her church members, she's talking about you, you know, she, you know, they're talking about your hips and, you know, they're talking, wow, I wish I had them hips, so your grandson is really wild. But you're also doing music. Yes, I'm doing music back to the album. Yes, so Anderson Park, think about Anderson Park, think about Outcast, and think about Childish Gambino. It's in that vein, it's in that genre. It's fun crap, you know what I'm saying? Hey, I'm not clapping nobody, talking about shooting people. I, that's not what, that's not me. I'd rather talk about something happy. Like, you know, they save us some money. Well, you know, getting a free coupon to get some food. You know, something like that, you know, something like that. I find, because I, I'm struggling a little bit lately, because I've, I've said this in the past, which is I, I hope never, I'm just thinking about it. I'm looking at my looking to the heart. Oh, okay, I'm just, that's where the thought is. You thought, you're here, you're here with my thoughts up there. So I gotta go find it, get it down and bring it to us. Such a good actor. I would have thought Nicholas Cage was up there, and he was just gonna drop that with some angel wings. But you are so dope, John. You know, like that. It's something, you know. I had to give you one. I mean, come on. All right, here we go. Sorry, go ahead, John. What I was gonna say is, I was, I was a very unhappy person for a very long time, and I used to say that for me, politics wasn't about hope. I don't really care about hope. I'm glad you have it, or if it's important motivating to other people, Obama gave people hope. That was great. Got people to come out and vote and do the right thing. But I was motivated by anger and rage. That was what got me out. I was like, I'm mad. And now I'm a happy person. And I'm like, wait, I'm not as mad as I used to be. So now I have to figure out how to be motivated by happier things. Right. And I feel like you're doing an album about kind of figuring out what it is to be happy. Yeah. And after you've been through the kind of grinder of SNL and what that does to you. The grinder of SNL, the fame that comes from being popular in that show, and also just the man, just the accessibility that you have as somebody who is young and Hollywood with women, with freaking drugs, if you want anything that you want. And being able to realize that, no, those things will never make you happy. And one of my friends had a famous quote. He said, if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything, you know what I mean? So, or is that maybe that ain't her quote? 'Cause somebody said it in the crowd, you know that. I think it's the kind of thing that I'm like, "Bringy quotes that's distributed to Gandhi or Lincoln." Oh, okay. So it could be whoever you want is what I'm saying. Yeah, well, okay, so it could be whoever whatever I want. So, all right, I heard it. I thought she created it, but maybe she didn't. And she ain't as thoughtful as I thought she was, you know? What just cool, which is cool, but it's a good quote. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything, or is it everything, anything, right? Everything? Everything. See, she wrote anything. So, being able to go through that journey with this project and in my life as a parallel has been beautiful, brother. Because I mean, now, man, I'm super connected. I don't, dude, I don't care. You notice, I haven't cursed, right? I normally, I would normally curse. I don't curse off stage anymore. I'm trying to take it from my act because I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do it. I had no clue. Getting closer to my faith, I've been reading more, man, and you're not supposed to use those words. You don't have to to be funny, you know what I mean? Oh, I think I need them. You think you need them? No, they're a crutch, and I need them. For real? No, but it's still, I still like them having in my toolbox. John, you know what I love? And you know what I always need in my life? Silk draws, you know what I-- Why? Because when you move, they touch you. And it's just real, it's real good, you know? I just find myself sometimes just moving from side to side because, yeah, it just feels good. And everybody who has who wears silk draws understands me. Like this, you know? Yeah, you've got to get some. It'll make you feel better, you know? You're right. Yeah. Can you guys make a note of that that I get to get silk storage? Silk. Because it feels good to move around. I don't have them, but I need them. Speaking of being of the kind of world SNL puts you in. Yeah. You were once drunk at the White House? Oh my gosh. Yes, I was. The last party that the Obama's had before everything, you know, trumped out. It was, yeah, I was drunk. Yeah, I was drinking. So was everybody else, but I was having me a few. And I talked to Obama, you know? And I wish I didn't that night. And the reason is because the conversation, John, check this out. Now, Obama comes up to me and you know, we've met before, that very gregarious guy of very amiable. He's Obama, you know? He has no choice. You know, you've got to be like that. Are they going, are they going to write about him? So, I see this guy, he goes, well, Jay, man, I wish when you're on the show, we could have done something together. And my drunk self just was like, oh, I can still make it happen. Yeah. I can make it happen. You know, I can hit Lord Michael's up right now. I'm talking to the most powerful man in the world, telling him that I had the pull to get him back on SNL so me and him could do a sketch together. Yeah, I haven't had Don Julio since that night, son. I haven't had it. It's crazy, so crazy. It's so crazy. It's so real, man. It's so funny. It's so funny to be like, don't worry, President Obama, I'll put it in a good word for you. Yeah, son, that was, that was, that was my 757 hanging out dog, you know, that's where I'm from. That's the Virginia hanging out there. That's it. And but they wouldn't have done that. So it was just me. I messed up, you know. You know that you can blame your area code. Yeah, we got always. You know, that's what the ludicrous said he had holes in the many area codes, you know. Right. Right. Yes. 757, foe, foe. My cell phone just overload. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got that one too. Keep going, man. Okay. Yeah. Now, before, now that we've got a little Obama, we're going to use your skills to help people have hard conversations, people struggle to have. Okay. So here's how it works. I have a list of scenarios that people might need help with, and then we have eggs, the egg of the egg of truth, which is filled with people that you could potentially do an impression of. Okay. So first up, there's a man, the fact that you got Kevin Hart's summer home right here is ridiculous. Why would you do it? Why would you do it? Cause he's a little summer home. That's his golden. He wasn't. Come on, John. Come on. Why would I do that? Kevin Hart's summer home here on the table. Now, first up, you have to break it to someone, break it to you that your wife wants to open the marriage. Oh, man. And you have to do it as Sebastian Manascalco. You can tell Jerry, it's Jerry who wants his marriage open, doesn't want his marriage open. He's about to find out his wife wants to open his marriage. Well, the fuck? - The first thing I'm gonna say, (audience laughing) you gotta make sure that your wife never feels like you like the other chick. Way more, because, (audience laughing) because if she does, it's game over. You feel me? All right, also, also. Look into your wife's eyes. You gotta stare into her eyes. If you don't look into her eyes, she's gonna find big papa cane and he's gonna pop a 19 right into your wife. And then, (audience laughing) and then you're gonna be like P. Diddy. You don't wanna do that. Why, Jerry, why won't you? Why will you do that? Why? (audience laughing) Why would you do that, Jerry? So, the old thing of relationship. (audience applauding) All right, next, amazing. Next up, we have to inform Jerry, who is your dad that you want to go to school to become a professional clown and not from a mechanical engineering like he thought. (audience laughing) As Keanu Reeves. (audience laughing) Whoa. (audience laughing) You know, you should really have a conversation with your dad about switching majors before the next payments come through. Because if you do, he'll lessen the blow. And I can guarantee you, you want the blow lessened. I took over 20,000 blows during John Wick. It's in shame. Show, talk to him, tell him from the heart what you want to do. And you'll be fine. (audience laughing) All right, let's do one more. Wow. That was amazing. Let's do one more. You have to tell Jerry that your test for Climidia was positive. Holy. And you have to inform all your sexual partners. Let's do, Denzel Washington. (audience laughing) So you've been out in the streets, huh, rookie? You've been out in the streets, huh? You've been out in the streets. You've been slinging the wood. You've just been doing it until you've been pumping it. You've been doing it to whoever you want to, right? That's what you've been doing, right? Okay, well, the first thing you gotta do now is you gotta strap up. That's what you gotta do first, right? You know what, you take that magnum? You take that Trojan and you put it on. And you protect yourself from what they call the ratchet read. Do you understand? Okay. Now, now that everybody's got Climidia, this is what I'll need you to do. I need you to talk to them in a very calm tone. You understand? You talk to them in a very calm tone. Jerry, you talk to them just like this. Like I'm talking to you, say, listen, you got it, but it's curable, okay? And ain't the worst, okay? (audience laughing) You know why? 'Cause it could have been the worst, you know, you could have had something that you could never get rid of, huh? Could have got that HSV through one. You know what I'm saying, huh? That's right, the one that makes the one that makes your thing look like nerds. You understand? Okay, all right, so that's all you gotta do. Jerry, just talk to them just like this and say, listen, once you cure it, call me again. You understand? Okay, all right, all right, all right. Ew, okay. Thank you, Jay. Everybody, Jay's album, The Odyssey, is out. As of this record right now. Yes. And you can check out The Quiz With Balls, which we didn't even talk about. But basically, you're not people off of giant balls into the water. Yeah, just a regular Friday night for Jay Farrell. Knock 'em off with my balls, you know? (audience laughing) Yeah, no, it's all Fox, we're in a third season, baby, and the rate and yeah, we doing-- They get the questions from Good. They get knocked into the water by a giant fucking ball. I curse. Big ball. No, this, you can do your thing. Yeah, you could curse. Yeah, I'm allowed. Listen, yeah. Jay Farrell, world.com for Take It To See 'em Live.

Please welcome to the stage. Your man who has dedicated his life to clowning around. It's Zach Zucker. (audience cheers) There he is. There he is. Hello, I did. I did. Come on, and buddy. Do you notice anything different about me? Thank you very much. I know this is an audio medium. Is that how fun? Do you get new haircut? It's kind of what you would say. What is, I got a huge hat, John. Okay, everyone hates me already. No, I just also wanna say, I didn't realize I was sitting with three chubby losers as kids. I was, I was jacked. I was a strong child. My legs were so big, they were like, you must be five children on top of each other. And I was like, no, that's just what squatting from a young age looks like, but I was ripped. And I see people are upset with me right now. But, but imagine, imagine this way bigger. I kinda slimmed out as I grew up, but I was ripped as a child. I just came up with our next movie we're gonna do together. It's called "Buff Baby." (audience laughing) Please, please, if the industry would dare to make such a film as this. But, okay, again, corporate Hollywood, afraid to do something challenging. That's, so you recently, we're in a bolter story about the LA clowning community. And I wanna give you an opportunity to address them, because when people, when I hear clown, when I think about what clowning is, I think of Zach, because I think of somebody who has, you went to France, you studied it, and you came back and you've been interpolated into what you do. And then you're on the record in this article, seeming to slam the clown community. And I thought that doesn't sound like the Zach I know. Care to comment? (audience laughing) Seems like you don't know me at all. No, it was bullshit. I have like a fat toy against me right now from the clown community. Everyone wants it. Everybody, everyone's so mad. I spoke about this, and this made me remember that I don't trust journalists. (audience laughing) And they're not your friends, no matter how nice they are, 'cause I spent 80 of my 90 minutes talking about how much I love this art form, how it is my favorite thing in the world, how I love community, how I love all the people and how appreciative I am of everyone in there. And 10 minutes, 10 toes down, I will say this, slamming the sycophantics psychopaths who are in this community, who substitute therapy for performance. And they terrorize audience members, and they say this is this art form, and they ruin it. And they're people who've done one class once, and I think it's awesome that you need to have this opportunity to be bad and get this out there. But like, the whole article came because some guy from heated rivalry took two clown classes, and I'm like, well, if I took two pizza-making classes, I'm not a pizza maker. I'm just a guy who did something twice. And so I'm heated. (audience laughing) Wow, there's so much, I didn't realize how much energy and emotion there is in the class. - For three weeks, dude, it's ruined friendships for me if you're not taking care of the audience, and you're not making people feel safe, and you're not doing everything to just, man, it's an art form of service, and I get so passionate about it because I love it, and so to have been misquoted so flagrantly, with no context, to remove all of the history that I feel, I feel I've added to this community, and then I do with pride, to be only like coming in 90% of the way in, is like a wrecking ball, dude, it was devastating. It's absolutely devastating. Well, I'm glad you could talk about it. Well, 'cause here's the reason I wanted to bring it up is because all I know about this, I know through you, but what people often say about you specifically, is you decided to learn about clowning, and it made you an extraordinary performer. It changed how you were on stage, and I see you as a remarkable performer on stage, and so it just must suck to then have this thing that you love, which transformed how you perform, become something where like all of a sudden, you're seen as someone who's like being antagonistic of it. No, dude, and I'm like, I'm a hater for the sport as a joke, but like, I'm a lover first. Fellows, ladies, everyone in between. No, I'm like, I have to remember I have to also be a little bit funny too, I've come in hot. (laughing) But what can you expect? I was a jacked child. Wait, you also have your new special out, which is Jack Tucker, which I do. I feel like a lot of people probably heard of you because of Jack Tucker, and don't know that you're not Jack Tucker. That they see Jack Tucker, and they're like, Oh, that's just. Like that is the wet guy, but now you're the wet guy now you're dry and now you're dry as bone well not what I'm talking to you John all right You know just cuz your married doesn't Married man. I'm a married man. We have you had you had a chance and you fucking blew it and I'm not gonna Save a stanchound special on Netflix It's coming soon. We coming soon. The Jack Tucker specials on YouTube It would mean the world to me if you guys like it. I have a boy. He's 19 years old. He's small And he's trying to play he's trying to play baseball so it would be so cool if you guys could watch this And then yeah, we shot one for Netflix for our variety show. That's awesome. Thank you. I don't just um I had a seat laid out for you and there was like a it's like a balloon and some flowers there and it was empty on show night Yeah, look obviously it's just like really hard for me to be in the room for you watching you perform Because if like that's where we met and so it's like been difficult and like I've moved on. I'm clear. I've moved on you say that a lot It doesn't have to be this way John I'll never stop I'll never stop swirling the rumors it's great The rumors the rumors the rumors one time someone posted on reddit saying that we had chemistry and I texted being like Can I play with that and that has been what I've done for four years? Allegedly Now it's time for say when we call I don't care. I love it. I Love it great. Here's how it works all of our guests We'll share something that they love that other people hate then they may got shit for loving But they don't care because they love it. We'll each have 60 seconds to defend the thing we love and I'll kick it off I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something that I love That you may think it's gross and I'm just gonna tell you that it's awesome and I've started doing this which is I take a diet coke and I add two shots of espresso and half and half Yeah, and you know what it's fucking awesome. It's delicious It's carbonated. It's sweet because of the diet coke. It has two extra shots of espresso in it It's got the creaminess from the half and half. It's awesome. It's delicious and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy It's great. That's my man And you should try it before you see that part of you that's resistant to something that doesn't sound good to you That that anger or kind of disgust you feel for something new. That's the ice agent in every heart That's that's the Trump inside of you. That's the Trump in you. Oh something new disgusting. No Thank you. No, I'm sorry. I got to make that face Why don't you just have like an energy drink? They taste good and they're like bubbly and you're like, oh, I feel that in my veins Okay, you have that. I'll have my thing All right, I'm gonna go with mine. I actually heard this recently. I love taking a hot bath Or a hot shower.
