The Megyn Kelly Show - Brutal Inflation, 1⧸6 Manipulation, and Motherhood, with Eric Bolling, Michael Knowles, and Christina P.

00:00:00.000 When I found out my friend got a great deal

00:00:02.160 on a wool coat from Winners,

00:00:03.760 I started wondering,

00:00:05.440 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:00:08.560 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.

00:00:10.900 Are those from Winners?

00:00:12.780 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings?

00:00:15.260 Did she pay full price?

00:00:16.600 Or that leather tote?

00:00:17.620 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:00:18.840 Or those knee-high boots?

00:00:20.280 That dress?

00:00:21.060 That jacket?

00:00:21.740 Those shoes?

00:00:22.780 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:00:25.720 Stop wondering.

00:00:26.980 Start winning.

00:00:27.920 Winners.

00:00:28.500 Find fabulous for less.

00:00:30.600 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:32.520 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.

00:00:41.740 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.

00:00:43.640 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday.

00:00:46.380 Well, the January 6th theater hit primetime last night.

00:00:50.440 Did you watch?

00:00:51.380 We're going to get to some of what the Democrats want you to believe

00:00:53.940 are the highlights later this show.

00:00:56.080 I've got some thoughts.

00:00:58.160 A lot of thoughts, actually.

00:01:00.000 But just hours after the January 6th findings were put on display,

00:01:04.400 the party and the White House and the rest of us got a major reality check

00:01:08.600 on what actually matters to Americans.

00:01:11.420 A new report from the Bureau of Labor finding that last month, inflation saw the fastest

00:01:17.580 increase since December of 1981.

00:01:21.380 Your humble correspondent was 10.

00:01:24.300 Most of you listening, half of you probably weren't even born.

00:01:26.840 Analysts were expecting 8.3%.

00:01:30.520 Instead, it came in at 8.6%.

00:01:33.100 We're going in the wrong direction now.

00:01:35.040 They were saying, oh, maybe it's peaked.

00:01:36.560 It's peaked.

00:01:37.300 It's peaked.

00:01:37.780 It hasn't peaked.

00:01:38.880 And God knows where this is going to end.

00:01:41.280 Food prices are up 10% from a year ago.

00:01:44.580 Energy prices up 35%, but you hardly need me to tell you that.

00:01:48.980 You can feel that one fuel oil up an astonishingly and astonishing 107% from last year.

00:01:57.000 The average price of gas is now approaching $5 a gallon.

00:02:01.900 In a moment, I'm going to be joined by The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles to talk about

00:02:04.840 the January 6th hearing last night on Capitol Hill, the theater.

00:02:08.500 And later in the show, we will close out a busy week with some fun with comedian Christina

00:02:11.840 P, who's amazing.

00:02:13.080 God, she's funny.

00:02:13.660 But first, we've got to get to this inflation and the economy.

00:02:17.700 And here to break down what it all means is our pal Eric Bolling, host of The Balance

00:02:22.780 on Newsmax.

00:02:28.460 Eric, my friend, great to see you.

00:02:29.820 Great to see you, Megan.

00:02:30.980 I wish I could come on when we had some better news, but wow, this inflation stuff is bad.

00:02:37.140 So put it in perspective, because they were hoping it was going to go down.

00:02:40.060 They thought it may be maybe 8.3%.

00:02:42.300 It's going in the wrong direction, as pretty much every metric economically is.

00:02:48.320 So how bad is this, and what does it mean?

00:02:50.320 No, it's super bad because it's not stopping here.

00:02:53.180 And this is the problem.

00:02:54.720 Every time I come on, I talk about how the Biden administration isn't changing anything.

00:02:59.200 And all they really have to do is change their energy policy.

00:03:02.100 They will not budge on their energy policy.

00:03:04.340 I mean, they're so out to lunch when it comes to energy policy.

00:03:07.160 Jennifer Granholm, the energy secretary, the energy secretary of the United States has

00:03:12.640 no energy experience, none whatsoever.

00:03:15.140 She laughed when a Bloomberg reporter asked her, you know, what are you going to do about

00:03:19.000 gas prices?

00:03:19.800 There's a chuckle.

00:03:20.900 She laughs.

00:03:21.320 You know why?

00:03:21.980 Because they don't know.

00:03:24.680 Here's perspective.

00:03:26.140 A barrel of oil right now, and every time I come on, Megan, it's been higher.

00:03:29.400 A barrel of oil right now globally is $122 a barrel.

00:03:33.500 There was a time in 2020, towards the very end of Trump's presidency, it was late April

00:03:39.480 2020, it went to $10 a barrel, $10 a barrel.

00:03:42.460 And we were self-sufficient in oil.

00:03:44.300 So here is the worst part of the problem.

00:03:47.320 At $4.98.7, which is our national average today for gas, that has to catch up to the $122

00:03:54.940 a barrel of oil because you put oil through a refinery.

00:03:57.560 It's a feedstock for the gasoline.

00:03:59.500 It comes out backside gasoline, heating oil, fuel oil, and jet fuel.

00:04:04.720 $122 means you're probably going to exceed $6 or $7 a gallon in the United States unless

00:04:10.540 that price came down on the crude oil side.

00:04:13.200 And it's not.

00:04:13.920 It just continues to go higher.

00:04:15.540 Another big problem here, we're going into the cooling season, the air conditioning season

00:04:20.060 in the United States.

00:04:21.580 The number for electricity is up 12%.

00:04:23.940 So right now, it's only up 12%.

00:04:26.220 What happens in August is you're going to see massive, massive spikes in your power bill

00:04:31.500 on top of basically having to pull out a tooth to afford gasoline.

00:04:36.240 Your power, your electricity bills over the summer are going to be astronomical.

00:04:39.500 And their only answer is go buy an electric car.

00:04:42.420 And I know everyone's talking about a $60,000 electric car, but there's a bigger problem than

00:04:46.120 being able to afford an electric car.

00:04:48.040 The bigger problem is right now we have a million electric vehicles on the road.

00:04:52.080 One million.

00:04:52.780 We have 350 million vehicles total on the road.

00:04:56.080 One million of them are electric.

00:04:57.720 If you were to double that, just to 2 million, and not even put a dent in our consumption of

00:05:02.580 energy, of oil and fossil fuels.

00:05:05.280 It wouldn't put a dent in it.

00:05:06.780 Double it to 2 million.

00:05:07.620 We would never, ever, ever be able to be able to power up those, someone was just talking

00:05:16.620 to me, never be able to power up those vehicles.

00:05:19.240 There's just not enough power.

00:05:21.820 There's not enough sourcing of power.

00:05:24.080 And again, all that power-

00:05:25.260 Like the batteries and the way you plug in.

00:05:26.500 And you need that all over the place.

00:05:27.780 You need the gas stations.

00:05:28.820 You need it at the rest stops.

00:05:29.780 You need it every place so the cars can keep going.

00:05:31.340 Well, yeah, but here we're going to have rolling brownouts.

00:05:34.240 New York and California are already telling us this summer, get ready.

00:05:37.200 You're going to have blackouts and rolling brownouts to just to be able to get power to

00:05:41.860 people continuously, but they'll be blocked without pushing an electric vehicle agenda

00:05:49.080 that they're pushing so hard right now.

00:05:51.300 They're fools.

00:05:51.940 They don't know what they're doing.

00:05:53.140 And again, the biggest component of inflation, and they don't get this, they're not getting

00:05:57.540 this, is energy, U.S. energy.

00:05:59.440 It's not Russian oil.

00:06:00.320 It has nothing to do with Russian oil.

00:06:01.640 Joe Biden was sworn into office on January 20th, 2021.

00:06:05.600 $2.39 was a gallon that day.

00:06:08.040 It's never gone down.

00:06:09.360 It's 108% higher right now, but it never went down.

00:06:12.640 So them saying it's Putin's fault because the last $1.20 is Putin.

00:06:17.800 Well, guess what?

00:06:18.400 The other $3 were on them.

00:06:21.000 It's insane.

00:06:21.560 It's like the referee blowing a call in the fourth quarter, and you're blaming the referee,

00:06:26.240 but you lost 50 to nothing anyway.

00:06:28.560 That's a good analogy.

00:06:29.740 So yesterday we had on Ryan Grimm to talk about Joe Biden's mental health.

00:06:33.740 It wasn't anything about gas, but he was mentioning, and he's a left-leaning person.

00:06:38.420 He's of the intercept, but totally fair guy.

00:06:40.440 But his take on the oil problem, the gasoline problem was, we're going to be in this predicament

00:06:45.720 until the Saudi prince decides we're not going to be.

00:06:49.700 And what do you make of that?

00:06:51.020 Because I know there are some people who say, look, the Saudis haven't been working for us.

00:06:54.200 They're not backfilling what we lost when we did the Russian embargo, the sanctions,

00:07:01.240 which I realized was only a single-digit sacrifice on our part.

00:07:04.680 But they're saying the Saudis control the spigot.

00:07:06.920 And right now, we don't really want to deal with the prince.

00:07:09.440 We'll only deal with the old man, the king, because we don't really like the prince who,

00:07:13.200 you know, Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post journalist, appears to have been murdered by

00:07:17.040 or at his instruction.

00:07:18.700 In any event, it's complicated because we need the Saudis to some extent on a number of fronts.

00:07:22.340 And he was basically blaming these gas prices on the prince, the Saudi Arabian prince.

00:07:27.980 What do you make of that?

00:07:29.020 Yeah.

00:07:29.220 So the only reason why the prince matters or the mullahs in Iran matter or anywhere or the

00:07:35.780 dictators in Venezuela matter is because we've gone off being self-sufficient in energy.

00:07:40.900 It's extremely simple.

00:07:43.120 There was a point in 2020 where we were completely self-sufficient.

00:07:46.280 We were not importing a single barrel of oil or products.

00:07:49.400 We were actually exporting our excess.

00:07:52.100 That's why oil went to $10 a barrel.

00:07:54.320 We had so much we were exporting.

00:07:55.820 We're oversupplied.

00:07:57.100 Now, with the pulling back of the Keystone Pipeline and all the other making it more difficult

00:08:03.040 for oil companies to produce oil, making it more expensive for them to produce oil because

00:08:07.580 of regulations and a really unfriendly business climate under the Green New Deal squadsters,

00:08:14.680 oil companies produce less.

00:08:15.820 And now we're importing 7 million barrels of oil a day.

00:08:19.360 Russia was only a couple hundred thousand barrels.

00:08:21.060 It had nothing to do with it.

00:08:22.000 So now we do.

00:08:22.840 Yes, we have to go back and Biden's got to go, you know, bow and beg to the to the oil,

00:08:28.300 the OPEC oil cartel, gangster cartel who are holding it over our heads.

00:08:33.520 But we didn't have to do this.

00:08:34.600 They would solve every single one of their problems.

00:08:37.220 You know what the weird thing is?

00:08:38.260 They might even salvage a midterm election or a presidential election if they just started

00:08:42.920 pumping oil.

00:08:43.680 But they're too married to the ideology to do that.

00:08:46.760 And they're willing to lose in the midterms and lose in 2024 just to appease the progressive

00:08:52.460 wing of the party.

00:08:53.680 And in the meantime, drag the middle class down into maybe the lower class in America.

00:08:58.540 It's really a shame.

00:08:59.900 Because this is like, I mean, everything's up.

00:09:02.300 You know, we're talking about gas.

00:09:03.720 Shelter costs are up 5.5 percent.

00:09:06.180 Airline fares are up 12.6 percent.

00:09:09.740 That's the third straight double digit rise in in those.

00:09:14.360 They're saying that the inflationary number, again, now 8.6, could go up to 9 percent.

00:09:20.220 This is sourced to The Wall Street Journal as early as July and is likely to stay there

00:09:26.580 until at least the fall.

00:09:28.440 I mean, 9 percent inflation until at least the fall.

00:09:31.460 I don't care how many hearings they have on January 6th, Eric.

00:09:35.100 This is what the people are going to be looking at.

00:09:37.660 Megan, they need to do a hearing with Janet Yellen, who admitted on television that they

00:09:41.720 made a mistake.

00:09:42.420 They blew it and they didn't see inflation heating up.

00:09:44.920 And again, in conjunction with the White House.

00:09:47.740 So what do they do?

00:09:48.940 The reason why the stock market is down 800 points today is because the money people,

00:09:54.320 the smart money, realizes that the only way now to combat inflation, if they're not going

00:09:59.080 to go after gasoline and reduce our prices at the pump, which would work, then they have

00:10:04.580 to go at it with a money supply situation.

00:10:06.760 So they're going to have to raise interest rates.

00:10:08.340 That's always bad for stocks.

00:10:09.660 And so stocks go down.

00:10:10.840 Can I just point something out?

00:10:12.280 They keep, Biden keeps blaming the global supply chain for inflation because prices are

00:10:18.180 going up because of global supply, global supply chain.

00:10:20.440 China, you know, China's inflation rate is today, 2.1%, 2.1%.

00:10:27.560 France, 5.2%.

00:10:30.260 We're 8.6 on our way to 10 because it has nothing to do with the global supply chain.

00:10:36.460 It has everything to do with the price we're paying for fuel.

00:10:39.640 Fuel is a component in every single thing we buy.

00:10:42.580 Everything we buy, I don't care what you tell you, pick a product.

00:10:45.780 I'll explain how oil and fuel have a component in the price of that.

00:10:50.460 Damn it, toilet paper, everything.

00:10:52.200 And not to mention the cost of delivering this stuff.

00:10:54.660 Diesel, $5.75 a gallon today.

00:10:57.720 $5.75, that's a trucker has to fill up a 200-gallon, 300-gallon tank.

00:11:03.260 And then what's he going to do?

00:11:04.340 He's not doing it for free, so he's got to raise his transportation costs.

00:11:08.020 It's crazy.

00:11:08.840 Yeah, I mean, I've heard from a lot of our listeners and our viewers who talk about how,

00:11:12.640 you know, they live in the Midwest, they live in so-called flyover country,

00:11:15.220 and they have to fill up the gas tanks of tractors.

00:11:18.200 You know, they have to drive as much as an hour to the gas pump to begin with,

00:11:22.540 because they're not living right, you know, right next to it.

00:11:24.760 They're more rural-based.

00:11:26.220 And then they've got to fill up huge tractors multiple times.

00:11:29.740 I mean, can you imagine how they are feeling these prices?

00:11:33.240 These aren't rich people.

00:11:34.640 These don't tend to be people who have tons of income at the ready.

00:11:38.300 And then on top of it, you see your 401k take a nosedive,

00:11:41.140 because the market's down 800 points, because they can see what's coming,

00:11:44.220 which is more interest rate hikes.

00:11:46.180 Yeah, yeah.

00:11:46.940 And it is, and it is coming, and 401ks are going to be hurt.

00:11:50.900 But again, you know, we talk a lot, Megan, as far as an investment strategy goes.

00:11:56.060 If you're on a regular investment strategy, stay with it.

00:12:00.060 Stay with it, because otherwise you're playing games and trying to time markets.

00:12:03.420 And even the pros have hard times doing that.

00:12:06.160 So just do a regular, over the course of time, things will work out.

00:12:10.380 It may take a Republican Congress to stop some of the horrible, horrible legislation

00:12:18.060 that they're pushing through with the Democrat House, Senate, and White House.

00:12:22.940 So maybe just having the Congress flip would be a, I would say,

00:12:25.960 would be very positive to the market.

00:12:27.760 It's so hard, because the damage has been done.

00:12:29.900 You know, to your point, it's been done.

00:12:31.720 He's already unleashed a lot of the problems that are causing this.

00:12:35.920 And it's really hard to get that tiger back into the cage.

00:12:39.520 Eric Bolling, I'm not going to say anything,

00:12:41.660 but I'm looking forward to talking to you soon about the exciting things.

00:12:46.420 Maybe at a different time, Megan.

00:12:48.540 Perhaps.

00:12:49.660 Stay tuned.

00:12:51.060 Different time of day.

00:12:53.220 Congrats to nothing, to nobody.

00:12:55.880 And we'll talk soon.

00:12:57.820 All right, Megan.

00:12:58.340 Thanks.

00:12:58.680 Always good to be out with you.

00:13:00.540 You too, Eric.

00:13:01.320 What a pleasure.

00:13:02.000 Eric Bolling, everybody.

00:13:03.300 And now we turn our attention to January 6th and the committee's first primetime hearing last night.

00:13:08.640 How many are they going to be?

00:13:09.700 They're going to be seven.

00:13:12.180 They were like, in our second hearing, in our 479th hearing, see footnote 404.

00:13:19.040 It was like, how long is this going to go on for?

00:13:22.760 Last night was the first primetime hearing.

00:13:25.200 The next one's already coming on Monday, actually, at 10 in the morning.

00:13:28.360 I guess they're not all primetime.

00:13:29.400 Um, the corporate media, very excited about all the supposedly new revelations.

00:13:36.060 Um, really?

00:13:38.700 What specifically?

00:13:40.020 What did we actually learn?

00:13:42.360 Anything?

00:13:43.380 Joining me now, our pal Michael Knowles, the host of The Michael Knowles Show on The Daily Wire.

00:13:47.740 Michael, great to have you back.

00:13:49.360 What were your impressions of January 6th theater?

00:13:52.440 Megan, it is so good to be with you.

00:13:56.040 I so enjoy speaking with you that I actually watched some of the January 6th hearings.

00:14:01.880 I had absolutely no intention of watching even a second of it.

00:14:06.340 It's such a farce.

00:14:07.540 It's such a joke.

00:14:08.380 But I said, no, I'm going on Megan Kelly's show.

00:14:11.120 She expects me to have seen this.

00:14:13.480 And so, by golly, I'm going to do it.

00:14:15.200 You're a good man.

00:14:16.020 Don't let anybody tell you different.

00:14:17.100 Don't listen to the God King, Jeremy Boring, over at Daily Wire.

00:14:22.820 So, to me, I'll tell you this.

00:14:25.200 Let me start.

00:14:25.560 I'll take the first shot at it.

00:14:27.420 As a lawyer, I was offended by the absence of a defense.

00:14:31.600 You know how easy it is to go into a courtroom and win a case when there's nobody on the other side?

00:14:36.260 Just me?

00:14:37.040 Back to me again?

00:14:38.200 Great.

00:14:38.740 No cross-examination of my witnesses.

00:14:40.580 No differing perspective.

00:14:42.160 No caution exercised because I know I'm going to get slammed if I misrepresent.

00:14:46.400 Great.

00:14:47.200 I'd have 100 percent, can you say, batting average?

00:14:50.020 I don't understand the sports analogy.

00:14:51.400 I'd win every case is what I'm trying to say.

00:14:53.560 And it was readily apparent last night.

00:14:55.700 And, you know, there were obvious misrepresentations on some of the facts, obvious misrepresentations,

00:15:02.140 which they weren't called out for.

00:15:03.380 But I have to say, like, there were manipulations, Michael.

00:15:05.980 And I'll give you one that I just texted my team.

00:15:08.200 As a television person and a lawyer, one of the things I noticed in their pre-produced package

00:15:12.680 that the media was salivating over was the track, the audio track that accompanied it

00:15:18.600 of like, ah, ah, effing this, ah, it never deviated.

00:15:23.660 And the scenes changed.

00:15:27.040 There was a still shot of a noose.

00:15:29.540 There was shot of one mob in one part of the Capitol, a different shot of a different piece

00:15:33.780 of the mob in a different part of the Capitol, a shot of the mob ascending the stairs to the

00:15:38.440 Capitol.

00:15:38.720 And the audio never changed.

00:15:40.920 Now, that is unethical.

00:15:42.340 As a journalist, you could be fired for doing such a thing.

00:15:45.500 That's a theatrical trick that you do to sort of amp up people's emotion.

00:15:50.560 But as if I ever tried that on a package for Brit Hume on special report, he would have

00:15:54.860 fired me.

00:15:55.600 You can't do that.

00:15:57.020 It's a manipulation.

00:15:57.900 And in a court of law, it would never be allowed.

00:16:00.900 That's why you have an opposing counsel to make sure that what's being introduced in front

00:16:05.040 of the Trier effect is fair and fairly and accurately represents the events as they went

00:16:09.420 down that day.

00:16:10.440 You can't just find the most incendiary audio track, lay it under all your various pictures

00:16:14.920 and say, see how bad it was.

00:16:17.280 That's just one example.

00:16:19.140 That's a perceptive observation, Megan.

00:16:21.120 And it it is propaganda, what we're seeing on the bright side.

00:16:25.080 I don't think that it's persuading anybody.

00:16:28.020 And it gets to your first point, which is that there was no opposition here.

00:16:31.200 This was the biggest mistake that Pelosi and the Democrats made with regard to the January

00:16:37.160 6th hearings.

00:16:38.820 The Republicans were going to play ball, whether or not it was a good idea for the Republicans

00:16:43.180 to play ball remains an open question.

00:16:45.100 But they were willing to play ball.

00:16:46.860 And then Pelosi rejected Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from being on the committee.

00:16:51.540 She would only allow the squishy fake Republicans to come on who are effectively just Democrats

00:16:55.920 like Liz Cheney.

00:16:57.080 So at that point, the Republicans had the perfect out to say, OK, you're not going to allow

00:17:01.180 real Republicans to be on this committee.

00:17:03.040 So we're not going to participate in this.

00:17:05.540 You don't get you don't want Jim Jordan.

00:17:06.720 You don't want Jim Banks.

00:17:07.520 We're out.

00:17:08.340 And and so now it just looks like such obvious theater.

00:17:11.180 If you if you had real Republicans on that committee sitting there, pushing back, grilling,

00:17:17.000 many more people would be watching this and it would be having a far greater effect

00:17:20.620 on the political discourse.

00:17:22.140 It would seem like this really, really matters.

00:17:24.700 But as it is now, it's just one long, fairly poorly produced Democrat campaign ad.

00:17:30.360 And people, regardless of their partisan inclinations, just don't really care about that so much.

00:17:36.400 It's not going to have the midterm election effect that they wanted it to.

00:17:40.720 It's so true.

00:17:41.540 It's like and now here to defend Trump, the Lincoln Project.

00:17:44.960 I mean, it's like just because these two people, Cheney and Kinzinger, have an R in name

00:17:50.520 only after their names at this point, does not mean that they are actually going to provide

00:17:55.100 the defense perspective, which would have been illuminating.

00:17:58.380 But by the way, already happened at the impeachment hearing because we've been through this already.

00:18:03.020 Right.

00:18:03.300 So it's like we've done this already.

00:18:05.760 We did hear a defense.

00:18:07.080 And by the way, he wasn't found guilty.

00:18:08.700 So what why are we doing this again?

00:18:11.700 I'll give you another misrepresentation that jumped out at me as part of the salivated over

00:18:18.120 video tape that they showed at the end in order to bring home the dramatic moment.

00:18:24.060 And don't forget, they hired James Gold, James Goldston of ABC News, who is the guy who changed

00:18:28.200 GMA into more of a salacious type morning program effectively for ratings.

00:18:32.560 But this is my point is he's not a Brit Hume.

00:18:34.320 Um, they hired him to produce everything.

00:18:37.060 And you look at this package and it ends with like the zinger, right?

00:18:40.160 They've built up your emotion with the sound and it ends with Trump, just just voiceover

00:18:46.140 of Trump saying these were peaceful people.

00:18:49.780 These were great people.

00:18:51.200 And I there was love in the air.

00:18:53.240 OK, when you hear it after having watched them battle with police and storm the Capitol,

00:18:57.600 you're like, oh, my God, Trump.

00:19:00.460 And I knew as soon as I heard it, I remembered this interview.

00:19:04.320 He gave to Maria Bartiromo seven months after the fact.

00:19:09.000 And I said to my team, could you please go back and check?

00:19:11.920 Because I guarantee you he was not talking about the mob in the Capitol, that he was talking

00:19:17.820 about the people at his rally prior who were peaceful.

00:19:22.120 Listen to what they did.

00:19:23.320 And I was right.

00:19:24.560 So here's the soundbite played.

00:19:26.800 This is from their package, from their extraordinary video that they played last night.

00:19:31.120 Listen, watch.

00:19:32.200 They were peaceful people.

00:19:33.580 These were great people.

00:19:35.380 The crowd was unbelievable.

00:19:37.360 And I mentioned the word love, the love, the love in the air.

00:19:40.980 I've never seen anything like it.

00:19:43.920 Look at that.

00:19:44.680 OK, so before we get to the full soundbite, so dishonest.

00:19:47.560 They run that over over an event that he was not talking about.

00:19:52.440 Again, you would be fired.

00:19:53.580 Your ass would be fired from any news organization and you would be kicked out of court if you

00:19:59.000 tried to submit that in a court of law.

00:20:00.360 And here is the here is more of the interview he gave to Maria Bartiromo on July 11th, 2021

00:20:06.440 for greater context.

00:20:09.720 And a tremendous number of people.

00:20:12.160 The largest one I've ever spoken before is called by people, by patriots.

00:20:17.280 And they asked me if I'd speak.

00:20:20.020 And I did.

00:20:20.620 And it was a very mild mannered speech, as I think has been.

00:20:24.500 In fact, they just came out with a report in Congress and they didn't mention my name,

00:20:28.300 literally.

00:20:29.200 But what they were complaining about and the reason, in my opinion, you had over a million

00:20:34.720 people there, which the press doesn't like to report at all because it shows too much

00:20:39.340 activity, too much spirit and faith and love.

00:20:45.340 There was such love at that rally.

00:20:47.280 You had over a million people that they were there for one reason, the rigged election.

00:20:52.320 They felt the election was rigged.

00:20:55.140 That's why they were there.

00:20:56.820 And they were peaceful people.

00:20:58.660 These were great people.

00:21:00.460 The crowd was unbelievable.

00:21:02.420 And I mentioned the word love, the love, the love in the air.

00:21:06.040 I've never seen anything like it.

00:21:08.520 And, you know, that's why they went to Washington.

00:21:13.400 Michael, so dishonest.

00:21:14.880 Well, this is what they did to Trump at Charlottesville, too.

00:21:18.440 They used this clip of Trump after Charlottesville when he said there were very fine people on

00:21:22.540 both sides of the issue of removing a Confederate statue.

00:21:26.240 He immediately afterwards said, I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis.

00:21:29.780 I'm not talking about the white nationalists.

00:21:31.320 They should be condemned totally.

00:21:32.480 But they clip that out.

00:21:33.800 And then what do they do?

00:21:34.520 They put the clip of him talking about fine people over the images of neo-Nazis and white

00:21:39.260 supremacists and all the rest of them.

00:21:41.000 You knew this was going to be dishonest from the outset.

00:21:44.320 There was a Democrat congressman from Mississippi who opened up the hearings.

00:21:47.840 And he said, those people that I saw on January 6th, they remind me of the Ku Klux Klan and

00:21:54.600 the white supremacists that I had that I had seen in Mississippi.

00:21:58.600 And obviously, that's not an argument.

00:22:00.800 He's not presenting any evidence of any connection between the Ku Klux Klan and the people who

00:22:05.420 went to the Capitol.

00:22:06.100 It was just so emotionally manipulative.

00:22:08.900 And I just don't think it's really working.

00:22:10.980 You know, the Democrats have tried to pretend that the mob going into the Capitol is the

00:22:16.100 worst assault on our sacred temple of democracy in history.

00:22:20.480 And it's just not true.

00:22:22.460 1915, a Harvard professor set off a bomb in the Senate, blew up the Senate reception room.

00:22:27.960 1954, I believe it was, there was a group of Puerto Rican activists shot up the House

00:22:33.280 of Representatives, injured five congressmen.

00:22:35.220 1971, Weather Underground, a radical leftist group, bombed the Capitol.

00:22:39.580 1983 or 1984, another leftist group, the Armed Resistance Unit, bombed the Capitol.

00:22:44.820 By comparison to that, the horn hat guy dancing around the rotunda is child's play.

00:22:49.640 It just doesn't rank.

00:22:51.060 And furthermore, the reason this doesn't resonate with people is because we know that what happened

00:22:55.720 on January 6th is not only not the worst insurrection in American history, it wasn't the

00:23:01.180 worst insurrection of the year.

00:23:02.580 That would have been BLM, which spent eight months killing dozens of people.

00:23:07.660 The January 6th is didn't kill anybody.

00:23:09.800 BLM killed dozens of people, attacked multiple federal buildings, and burned down cities coast

00:23:14.420 to coast.

00:23:15.180 So ordinary Americans in the middle, frankly, I think even center left and certainly the

00:23:19.900 conservatives are watching this.

00:23:21.580 And they're saying, look, you're presenting us with a highly sensationalized, largely fictional

00:23:27.420 narrative, and we're just not going to buy that.

00:23:29.880 Yeah.

00:23:30.280 Two thousand cops injured in the context of the BLM riots.

00:23:33.900 And they want to look like they love cops by putting this one woman up to testify yesterday.

00:23:39.760 And what she went through seemed highly unpleasant.

00:23:41.840 I don't dispute that for one moment.

00:23:43.140 And it was wrong.

00:23:44.060 It was wrong what they did to them and what they did to those cops.

00:23:46.280 But these Democrats acting like they care deeply about police officers after ginning up the

00:23:51.540 crowds against them for an entire year plus.

00:23:54.780 I mean, please, nobody believes that they're using these cops for political purposes.

00:23:59.700 But you raise a good point because that's another lie they told last night about how five police

00:24:05.600 officers they've been pushing this.

00:24:07.020 The news media has been pushing this.

00:24:08.880 The Democrats have been pushing this.

00:24:10.420 We heard it last night.

00:24:11.380 You'll hear in this butted soundbite I'm about to play, the last person on there is Congressman

00:24:17.380 Thompson, who continued the lie about five cops being killed either at the January 6th riot

00:24:24.780 or because of dying because of the January 6th riot.

00:24:29.040 And in particular, Brian Sicknick is one of them, but he's just one of the five.

00:24:34.780 Listen, we put together a little soft montage of the claims which are untrue.

00:24:39.380 Listen, they beat a Capitol police officer to death with a fire extinguisher.

00:24:46.840 Officer Brian Sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during

00:24:50.480 the fight.

00:24:51.060 He died at the age of 42 after he was bludgeoned the fire extinguisher.

00:24:57.120 Literally criminals to break through Corden, go into the Capitol, kill a police officer.

00:25:03.900 I know that some of the witnesses from our first hearing are in the room with us, along

00:25:11.040 with some of the family members, friends and widows of the officers who lost their lives

00:25:17.420 as a result of the attack.

00:25:21.160 As a result.

00:25:22.500 OK, now, Tucker addressed this last night.

00:25:24.720 We've addressed it on our show.

00:25:25.740 Glenn Greenwald's done great reporting on this.

00:25:28.000 Brian Sicknick, according to the D.C.

00:25:29.760 medical examiner, had not suffered any blunt force trauma.

00:25:33.220 He died of a stroke in his office later.

00:25:36.620 And by the way, no one's been charged in connection with Brian Sicknick's death.

00:25:40.980 And as for the police officers who later committed suicide, that's what they're talking about with

00:25:45.980 the with the five deceased police officers.

00:25:48.740 The chief of the D.C.

00:25:50.060 Police has said publicly he has no idea whether those officers were driven to suicide by January

00:25:55.960 6th.

00:25:56.700 Obviously, it's a very tough job and it had been a very tough year for cops in America that

00:26:01.860 again, the blatant using the they're using these cops and their unfortunate deaths to try

00:26:08.200 to make a political point.

00:26:10.180 They are.

00:26:11.200 And the Democrats in Congress are still shamelessly doing it.

00:26:15.860 The establishment media have since backed off it a little because it's just such a brazen

00:26:20.840 lie.

00:26:21.580 But but even so, they would run the story on page A1.

00:26:25.500 So you'd see Capitol police, Capitol rioters, murder, Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick.

00:26:31.640 They hit him with a fire extinguisher.

00:26:32.840 That would be the story on the front page.

00:26:34.540 And then later on, they correct the story.

00:26:36.680 But where do they correct it?

00:26:37.620 On page Z 1000.

00:26:39.500 Now, the tweet that says that the January 6thers killed the police officer gets a gazillion

00:26:45.620 retweets and then the correction that you get from the media is barely noticed.

00:26:50.240 And so the propaganda has its effect.

00:26:52.480 It's been so effective, in fact, that the Democrats in Congress right now can still continue

00:26:57.920 to perpetuate that lie with a straight face.

00:27:00.660 I never want to attribute to malice that which is equally explained by stupidity.

00:27:04.980 And I don't think that the average IQ of this committee is particularly high.

00:27:08.660 But if it is ignorance right now, someone should correct the record, because if it's if it's

00:27:15.180 an intentional lie, they are, as you say, abusing these cops and their families, exploiting

00:27:22.440 their deaths for their own political purposes.

00:27:24.380 It's a disgraceful and shameful thing, though, in a year or two years where the Democrats have

00:27:30.200 been consistently attacking cops.

00:27:31.740 I guess it's no surprise.

00:27:33.120 Well, that's the thing, right?

00:27:33.940 It's like if we're going to do that, OK, and I don't know, maybe the stress of that

00:27:38.000 day did factor in in some way.

00:27:39.640 I would I would be open minded to evidence of that.

00:27:41.880 But what about the stress of what the Democrats did to these cops over the previous year?

00:27:47.100 Right.

00:27:47.540 Look what happened to these cops.

00:27:49.800 Even before George Floyd, they were being demonized by Democrats and called racists and

00:27:54.360 investigation after investigation into police department after police department because

00:27:58.880 of one suspicious arrest, even one that would later be found, OK, would lead to investigations

00:28:05.040 in the Obama administration.

00:28:06.160 It's like we're going to do this.

00:28:07.780 We're going to try to say if when a police officer commits suicide, it's directly because

00:28:11.480 of this stressful event.

00:28:12.340 We're going to be here for a long time.

00:28:13.660 And it just to me is yet another manipulation because they don't have what they really need,

00:28:19.140 Michael.

00:28:19.560 They don't have the smoking gun of Trump saying we're going to the Capitol.

00:28:24.680 We're storming the Capitol.

00:28:26.800 We're taking back this election.

00:28:29.300 We're not letting the electors pass their votes or cast their votes.

00:28:33.160 And this is an insurrection.

00:28:34.700 We're not giving up power.

00:28:36.180 It's all rhetoric by Trump around it.

00:28:38.840 Be strong.

00:28:40.340 And Mike Pence better do the right thing.

00:28:42.120 Of course, Trump was wrong about that.

00:28:44.360 Trump lost the election.

00:28:45.540 I've said that repeatedly.

00:28:46.780 His own daughter said it last night.

00:28:48.200 She believed Bill Barr.

00:28:49.440 Fine.

00:28:49.760 You can disagree with that if you want.

00:28:51.500 But he's entitled to his belief.

00:28:53.360 He actually is entitled to his belief.

00:28:55.460 It's whether he caused a riot, whether he caused it in the eyes of the law.

00:29:00.060 The answer to that is no.

00:29:02.600 And they have nothing, by the way.

00:29:04.320 This is how you know that the rest of the hearings are going to be extremely boring.

00:29:08.600 And they'll try to insinuate lots of things.

00:29:10.340 They might even lie a little bit, but they won't have that smoking gun.

00:29:13.600 The way you know that is because if they had the smoking gun, we would have already heard

00:29:17.660 about it.

00:29:18.420 That is not the same thing as when Republicans hold a hearing.

00:29:21.500 When Republicans hold a hearing, sometimes they can present new information.

00:29:25.380 The reason for that is that the media hate the Republicans.

00:29:28.620 The media and the Democrats are on the same side.

00:29:31.200 They work together.

00:29:32.140 They collude, to use a popular word.

00:29:34.400 And so we would have already heard it from the Democrats' mouthpieces in the establishment

00:29:38.320 media, whereas sometimes Republicans need these sorts of political stunts even to get

00:29:42.500 the message out.

00:29:43.260 But we haven't had it.

00:29:44.520 It's been a year and a half now.

00:29:46.360 We don't have anything.

00:29:47.400 In fact, the most damning evidence that the Democrats did have in January and February

00:29:52.500 of 2021 has been disproven at this point.

00:29:56.460 So they've got nothing.

00:29:57.400 And you're going to have Liz Cheney making lots of hot air, but blowing out hot air and

00:30:02.120 grandstanding in her fleeting moments left in Congress.

00:30:05.140 You're going to have the Democrats try to get some good campaign ads out of this.

00:30:08.720 I don't even think they're going to get that.

00:30:10.160 And then everyone's going to move on because because the American people, if you couldn't

00:30:14.960 convince them to care about this in February and March of 2021, you're certainly not going

00:30:20.360 to convince them to care about it a year and a half later.

00:30:22.280 Yeah, that's right.

00:30:23.660 Legally, to prove incitement, you have there's a much higher bar and they have not reached

00:30:28.500 it.

00:30:28.940 This is a political hit.

00:30:30.280 And that's fine.

00:30:31.160 I mean, it's fine to go after Trump politically because he was the sitting president and he

00:30:35.200 wasn't accepting reality.

00:30:36.220 And he did say a lot of things that got people upset and caused them to believe that the election

00:30:40.340 could be overturned.

00:30:41.200 And so I'm like, I'm not excusing his rhetoric around the election.

00:30:44.860 What I'm saying is that legally they don't have him.

00:30:47.920 And so politically, they already took their shot.

00:30:50.760 They already took their shot.

00:30:51.820 Right.

00:30:51.980 Like they they impeached the guy for political purposes.

00:30:54.940 They weren't able to get a conviction.

00:30:56.140 And now they're going back for another bite at the apple pretty openly because they want to

00:31:00.900 get a political let up leg up before the midterm elections.

00:31:05.020 That's what this is about.

00:31:06.560 Only this time, there's no one there to defend Trump.

00:31:09.940 I mean, it's it's just the most nakedly partisan thing I've seen done in a long time.

00:31:14.360 I'll give you one other thing.

00:31:16.140 There's their I guess their smoking gun that they thought they had was a suggestion by Liz

00:31:22.000 Cheney who came out of her mouth.

00:31:23.520 Not a witnesses that that Trump, when listening to his supporters say, hey, chant, hang Mike

00:31:31.020 Pence, may have reportedly said something like good idea or, you know, maybe my supporters

00:31:36.200 are on to something.

00:31:36.800 Got it coming.

00:31:37.560 OK.

00:31:38.120 Right.

00:31:38.380 That that was not introduced into evidence that came from her mouth about something that

00:31:42.020 we may or may not learn.

00:31:43.260 He's already denied it.

00:31:44.500 Right.

00:31:44.720 But this is what they do.

00:31:45.560 They sprinkle.

00:31:46.580 And then the media.

00:31:47.680 It's a big headline today.

00:31:48.820 They're all running with that.

00:31:50.300 That's not an evidence.

00:31:51.480 That's why people need to keep in mind there are no standards to what they're putting in

00:31:55.520 front of you.

00:31:56.200 It is theater and it ought to be treated as such.

00:31:59.640 I'll give you the last word.

00:32:02.060 You're absolutely right on this, Megan.

00:32:04.160 The reason they are going to continue this, though, is because they truly have nothing else.

00:32:09.940 I don't say this just because I'm a conservative and I'm a Republican.

00:32:13.520 They have nothing that they can possibly run on in the midterms.

00:32:16.440 The economy is in the doldrums and no one believes them when they say it's in a good

00:32:20.080 spot.

00:32:20.520 They can't run on foreign policy.

00:32:22.240 We've got the first major war in Europe breaking out since World War Two.

00:32:25.240 That's not going to work.

00:32:26.160 They can't even run on covid.

00:32:27.420 That was the one issue that they were above water on.

00:32:29.820 But even that they've botched and they're underwater on covid.

00:32:32.640 They could they could try to bring it back, I guess.

00:32:34.680 But I think people are past their lockdowns and their mandates and their masks.

00:32:37.680 So they have truly nothing else.

00:32:39.620 And the only message that you're going to hear from now until the midterms is, do you remember

00:32:43.740 how bad that awful mean tweeting orange man was?

00:32:46.440 And frankly, when people are paying seven dollars a gallon for gas, I don't think they're going

00:32:50.340 to look on the Trump years as the horrible insurrectionist mayhem that the Democrats are

00:32:55.980 trying to paint.

00:32:56.580 I think they're probably going to look on it fondly and say maybe these Democrats aren't

00:32:59.920 giving us what they promised us we would.

00:33:02.500 It felt like weird anti-Trump porn.

00:33:05.480 You know, the people who hate him were like, yeah, back to the anti-Trump stuff.

00:33:09.840 God, he was such a fun villain.

00:33:11.680 Let's get him.

00:33:12.460 What else can we misrepresent?

00:33:13.740 Yeah, let's do it.

00:33:14.780 No one's going to hold us to account with if the media is on our side.

00:33:17.580 This is good.

00:33:18.240 Yeah.

00:33:18.460 Lay it in there.

00:33:19.360 Fine.

00:33:19.720 Put the scary quote over the noose.

00:33:21.540 Do it.

00:33:22.400 Anyway, people get it.

00:33:23.740 I think they get it.

00:33:24.740 Michael Knowles, you get it.

00:33:26.080 As always.

00:33:26.800 A pleasure.

00:33:28.380 Great to be with you, Megan.

00:33:29.140 Thanks.

00:33:30.280 Coming up, we're switching gears this Friday with the hilarious comedian Christina P.

00:33:35.160 Don't go away.

00:33:42.800 It's been a busy, serious week, and we need to switch gears before we go into this weekend,

00:33:48.100 do we not?

00:33:49.260 Comedian Christina P joins us now for the first time to talk about the joys and drags of parenting,

00:33:55.700 how to not kill your husband, and much, much more.

00:33:58.960 A lot of stuff she's got some good wisdom on.

00:34:00.720 Christina is the co-host of the wildly popular podcast, Your Mom's House, with her husband

00:34:07.180 and fellow comedian, Tom Segura.

00:34:09.580 And she has a new special on Netflix called Mom Jeans, G-E-N-E-S, which will have you laughing

00:34:16.640 out loud.

00:34:17.580 Christina, so good to have you here.

00:34:19.620 Oh, my gosh.

00:34:20.280 I'm so excited to be here.

00:34:21.880 I feel like I wrote the special just so I could do press and talk to you.

00:34:26.360 I'm honored.

00:34:27.720 I love your setup.

00:34:28.940 It looks like a throne that you're sitting in there.

00:34:31.920 Of course it is.

00:34:33.860 I've decided that I haven't moved past what I liked when I was 15 years old, so this is

00:34:38.180 like my fantasy teenage bedroom.

00:34:41.760 I can relate to that.

00:34:42.780 Yeah.

00:34:43.000 I'm going to get cork, M-E-G-Y-N letters for my master bedroom soon.

00:34:47.920 I'm inspired.

00:34:49.140 Remember that?

00:34:49.540 Why not?

00:34:50.640 Did you ever have that when you were growing up?

00:34:52.960 Wait, what was it?

00:34:53.860 The cork letters.

00:34:54.780 You know, your name in cork.

00:34:55.820 I wish.

00:34:58.700 I wish my parents were that savvy enough to get stuff like that for me.

00:35:03.600 Yeah, that's right.

00:35:04.600 You talk openly about how they might not have been 100% there for you at all times.

00:35:10.880 But that's what led to your great gift as a comedian.

00:35:13.680 Well, isn't that what leads to a great career in show business?

00:35:18.460 I mean, first of all, I'm a huge fan of you.

00:35:20.600 I listen to your podcast.

00:35:22.820 And yeah, if you would have told me five years ago that I would be on Megyn Kelly's show,

00:35:28.020 I'd be like, no way.

00:35:29.100 But I think the world has changed so much.

00:35:31.900 And now I listen to you and I'm like, yeah, this broad saying some smart stuff.

00:35:35.800 And we're both for freedom of speech.

00:35:37.860 And I hate cancel culture, too.

00:35:39.760 And yeah, I'm just so happy to be here.

00:35:43.540 Thank you.

00:35:43.820 Thank you so much.

00:35:44.440 Well, I saw that you studied philosophy.

00:35:46.160 And I was like, I know I'm going to like talking to her because it does give you just

00:35:50.540 a different way of looking at the world.

00:35:52.040 And it does give you like an open mindedness that the way you see things might not be the

00:35:58.020 only way.

00:36:00.540 Absolutely.

00:36:00.980 And I think that's why it's so frustrating for me now, especially as a comedian, to see

00:36:06.640 people getting canceled.

00:36:07.840 Like what happened to being able to listen to anybody and just take what you like?

00:36:13.520 You know, I listen to you and I agree with some stuff.

00:36:16.340 And then I go, no, but I take and then you form an opinion and that's OK.

00:36:20.660 And it it breaks my heart that people's lives are getting ruined.

00:36:23.480 I was listening to Elia Shapiro on your show last week.

00:36:27.720 And that guy's life was ruined from that whole Georgetown thing.

00:36:31.640 And you're like, because of a tweet?

00:36:33.980 Yes.

00:36:34.380 Are you kidding me?

00:36:35.340 Oh, my God.

00:36:35.720 That reminds me.

00:36:36.480 I'm actually going to pull this up.

00:36:38.020 So he basically had his life ruined for this tweet he sent out and immediately apologized

00:36:42.140 for and tried to reword about Joe Biden saying he's only going to pick a black woman for the

00:36:47.520 Supreme Court seat being vacated by Breyer.

00:36:50.300 And Elia said, well, you should really pick this guy on the D.C.

00:36:53.520 Circuit Court of Appeals.

00:36:54.660 He's Indian and he's so he's got diversity.

00:36:57.720 But he's brilliant.

00:36:59.000 And if you pick anybody less than him, they're going to be less qualified by definition.

00:37:02.020 And the way he landed the tweet was instead, we're going to get stuck with a lesser black

00:37:06.780 woman.

00:37:07.440 He didn't mean black women are lesser by definition.

00:37:09.940 He just meant anybody other than this guy.

00:37:11.840 So his life was blown up.

00:37:13.680 They put him on suspension for four months at this job.

00:37:15.780 He's about to start at Georgetown.

00:37:17.160 They finally said, OK, you can come because you didn't technically belong to Georgetown yet

00:37:20.980 when you tweeted it.

00:37:22.000 And Elia, to his credit, walked.

00:37:23.600 He basically gave him the middle finger and said, thanks, but no, thanks.

00:37:26.840 I'm joining the Manhattan Institute.

00:37:28.620 So, yay.

00:37:29.320 But can I tell you something?

00:37:30.500 I'm scrolling Twitter the other day and there is a woman.

00:37:34.300 She's not at Georgetown.

00:37:35.880 She's at Stanford.

00:37:37.540 Stanford Law named Michelle Dauber.

00:37:40.540 OK, and she was pissed off about the Johnny Depp verdict and OK, that's fine.

00:37:47.080 But she went on a tear about women lawyers who defend men in particular in any Me Too

00:37:54.720 situation that you tell me why Michelle Dauber is not suspended at Stanford.

00:37:59.880 Listen to this.

00:38:00.420 Of all the women who suck up to male power, women lawyers are the absolute worst of the

00:38:06.940 bunch, desperate to prove they are real lawyers and understanding that being a woman undermines

00:38:12.040 their identity as lawyers.

00:38:13.100 They throw women under the bus as hard and fast as they can.

00:38:18.460 Then she goes on this little like rant of she shows this one female lawyer, Bill Cosby's

00:38:26.160 skirt, another female lawyer, Brock Turner's skirt.

00:38:29.500 Aaron Persky's skirt, Harvey Weinstein's skirt, Cuomo's skirt, Cuomo's other skirt, Weinstein's

00:38:35.120 wannabe skirt.

00:38:36.160 All you sellouts are going on blast today.

00:38:38.800 R. Kelly's skirt.

00:38:39.840 How does this woman still have her university job teaching young lawyers?

00:38:46.960 Oh, I know.

00:38:48.860 And look, I'm I'm no lawyer, but I did spend two whole weeks in law school and I dropped

00:38:52.980 out.

00:38:54.040 And I look, isn't isn't the job of the law to give the best possible case for

00:38:59.320 everybody.

00:38:59.860 The law is blind.

00:39:01.520 Isn't that the whole point?

00:39:02.900 Yes.

00:39:03.260 Everyone is entitled to a lawyer, a defense lawyer, criminal, civil doesn't matter why.

00:39:09.740 I don't get to represent anybody accused of me, too, because I have a vagina.

00:39:13.960 Michelle, you might not understand the rules of womanhood.

00:39:16.780 We're going to have to chat.

00:39:18.600 Well, yeah, I think you're not supposed to call yourself a woman.

00:39:21.180 You're you're a person with a vagina now.

00:39:23.160 Right.

00:39:23.380 That's right.

00:39:23.560 Oh, that's true.

00:39:24.220 Just a person with a vagina.

00:39:25.300 But men still get to be men.

00:39:26.960 Men don't just have to be like a person with penis.

00:39:29.200 That's true.

00:39:29.980 And did you know that men are not fat models, that only women are fat models?

00:39:35.460 Oh, my God.

00:39:36.020 I never thought of that.

00:39:37.920 Yeah.

00:39:38.340 Did you see the swimsuit?

00:39:40.520 What is it called?

00:39:41.300 Sports Illustrated.

00:39:42.540 Did you see the?

00:39:43.900 Yeah.

00:39:44.260 Yes, the swimsuit issue.

00:39:45.420 Yes, I did.

00:39:46.000 And the irony is, is that it's a men's fitness magazine and there's a really overweight lady

00:39:53.620 on the cover.

00:39:54.960 And anyway, I tweeted, I'm like supermodel, more like supper model.

00:39:58.320 And it's not even that great of a tweet.

00:40:00.220 But boy, did it start a firestorm.

00:40:02.380 And did you get a shitstorm?

00:40:04.060 Sure did.

00:40:04.880 And it felt really good because it's absurd.

00:40:07.580 It's all absurd.

00:40:08.540 The thing is, like Jordan Peterson got like chastised for saying he did not find the heavyset

00:40:14.700 gal.

00:40:15.100 Forgive me.

00:40:15.600 I don't I didn't know her.

00:40:17.080 I don't know her name.

00:40:18.540 Beautiful.

00:40:19.100 He said not beautiful.

00:40:20.360 Now, that is his opinion.

00:40:21.580 He is not required to think this person is beautiful.

00:40:24.600 Like you can totally disagree with him.

00:40:26.260 You can say you're a douchebag.

00:40:27.340 But why does he have to be run off Twitter for saying that not for me?

00:40:30.860 Sorry.

00:40:32.000 I know.

00:40:32.620 And I love that you said douchebag.

00:40:34.380 And I love when you curse.

00:40:35.600 It's my favorite.

00:40:36.340 It's the new me.

00:40:39.520 I mean, it's the true me.

00:40:41.040 I think it is.

00:40:42.440 Yeah.

00:40:43.040 Because you dropped an F-bomb last week and I almost fell out of my chair.

00:40:46.840 I was like, this is amazing.

00:40:49.000 I wasn't allowed to all those years on, you know, cable and network television.

00:40:52.380 So I sometimes I really had to try hard to filter because I do have a mouth like a sailor.

00:40:58.200 I know.

00:40:59.180 Me too.

00:41:00.420 Me too.

00:41:01.120 I couldn't fit.

00:41:01.700 I, you know, I tried to fit into polite society.

00:41:04.260 Like I said, I was I was in law school for two whole weeks and then I had 22 jobs in

00:41:08.560 four years after college that I either got fired from or quit.

00:41:11.680 And then I found comedy and I was like, this is perfect.

00:41:14.780 I get paid to be an asshole.

00:41:16.560 OK, so I have a question about that for you.

00:41:18.220 Yeah, I have a question about that.

00:41:19.120 So so so we kind of have a similar job hazard when we're off duty in that we're used to saying

00:41:26.200 things that normal people might find offensive.

00:41:31.640 Saying that a lot.

00:41:33.440 So like if you go out to dinner with new people, are you like, do you censor or what do you do?

00:41:38.680 Let me tell you, so I feel like I've kept my circle pretty insulated, like everybody that

00:41:45.300 works here in Studio Jeans, we call Studio Jeans a safe space because you're allowed to say

00:41:52.140 whatever you want.

00:41:53.100 So I feel like I don't even let that into my circle like you'd be kicked out so fast.

00:41:59.760 So the short answer is no, I don't censor.

00:42:01.820 And you can tell pretty quick who's who's down for you and who's not.

00:42:06.280 Yes, yes.

00:42:07.420 I so we just moved to a new town this year and I'm just in the process of meeting people

00:42:13.120 tends to be other moms, you know, and I'm always thinking in the back of my head, edit,

00:42:17.340 edit, edit.

00:42:18.080 Not everybody talks like you.

00:42:19.500 Not everybody will touch these third rail subjects casually over dinner.

00:42:23.080 Be careful.

00:42:25.580 And that that's actually how I found your podcast, because we were living in Los Angeles during

00:42:31.000 the pandemic, the pandy.

00:42:33.280 And there was a point where I, you know, I grew up liberal as can be.

00:42:38.160 I grew up in Los Angeles and I'm like a 90s liberal.

00:42:41.120 And there was a point where I was looking around and I'm like, wait a minute, people are wearing

00:42:44.900 their N95s alone in the car.

00:42:47.320 And wait a minute, I'm not so sure I need to wear a mask when I'm out walking in the open

00:42:52.780 air.

00:42:53.100 And my two year old certainly doesn't need to wear a mask.

00:42:56.380 And I found these other moms who on the down low agreed with me and it became in hushed

00:43:02.160 tones like, you should listen to Megan Kelly.

00:43:04.640 You should listen to her.

00:43:05.580 She has good ideas.

00:43:07.060 And I was like, oh my gosh.

00:43:08.100 And it opened up this whole world of like, yeah, I agree with you on so many issues.

00:43:13.340 And we decided to leave L.A.

00:43:15.560 Not that I'm pooing poo pooing L.A. because it's still my I love it.

00:43:18.780 I love it.

00:43:19.200 I just think they're in a weird place.

00:43:21.680 When I applied my son to kindergarten and they asked me what his pronouns were.

00:43:26.860 Oh, good God.

00:43:28.340 And I'm like, he he still can't wipe his butt.

00:43:31.580 I don't think he knows.

00:43:34.220 Still up to us.

00:43:35.420 And it's as identified.

00:43:36.980 It should be clear.

00:43:38.740 Yeah.

00:43:39.800 And like, I'm so sick of people saying that there's no gender difference between little

00:43:43.540 boys and girls.

00:43:44.320 And if you've raised children, especially boys, I have two little boys, three and six.

00:43:50.000 There's a difference.

00:43:51.260 Like, oh, it's all a social construct.

00:43:54.160 Girls are the same.

00:43:55.020 Really?

00:43:55.380 Have you seen a six year old girl piss out a campfire?

00:43:59.360 I have.

00:44:00.000 So, I mean, I have to say she's coming around to it.

00:44:04.180 But like, my daughter's nowhere near as obsessed with poops and farts and butts as my boys are.

00:44:10.760 Oh, my God.

00:44:11.280 Now, I know you have an affinity for this humor, too.

00:44:13.700 You can grow into it.

00:44:14.960 You know, you can grow into it.

00:44:16.160 But I don't think they're born within an affinity for it the way that, you know, the cross gender

00:44:20.560 people might tell us is universal.

00:44:23.080 No.

00:44:24.280 And like, I get so sick and tired of people like leave.

00:44:28.140 Just leave kids alone.

00:44:29.200 Let them figure stuff out.

00:44:30.300 I think when we're so quick to label it, just I mean, imagine being like, for instance,

00:44:35.680 in the 90s, I was dressing up like Robert Smith of The Cure.

00:44:39.640 And I'm pretty sure I'm not trans now.

00:44:42.320 Pictures where it didn't happen.

00:44:42.940 I just wanted to piss off my mom, you know.

00:44:46.920 But yeah, just let them be.

00:44:49.920 And they're always like, tell kids to be themselves.

00:44:51.940 Like, you don't have to tell them to be themselves.

00:44:54.160 I feel like they know.

00:44:54.740 Yeah, they're on it.

00:44:55.440 Can I tell you a story on the subject about the mask?

00:44:57.680 Because I just heard this and we haven't covered it in a while.

00:44:59.360 Friends of mine in Pennsylvania put their kids in private school because they were trying

00:45:04.960 to rush away from the crazy COVID policies of the public school and the crazy, you know,

00:45:09.800 critical race theory, all that stuff.

00:45:11.640 And the private school wound up being more insane on all of this than the public school.

00:45:16.640 And their one child's school, I think this is a different private school, but in private.

00:45:21.460 But right now, okay, June is making the children young.

00:45:26.380 Like, I think that there are little guys only five, four, four, four or five.

00:45:30.380 We're an N95 all day with another mask on top, even while outside.

00:45:39.620 No.

00:45:40.060 Oh, yes.

00:45:42.780 How insane is that?

00:45:45.660 They're at their wits at.

00:45:48.100 That's like when you see these lunatics in the airport wearing hazmat suits.

00:45:52.780 Remember that?

00:45:53.380 I don't know if you ever traveled.

00:45:55.200 And wearing masks on masks.

00:45:56.540 That's how I know I'm not going to talk to when I see the double masker.

00:46:00.380 Yeah.

00:46:00.660 Just setting them up for mental illness and not making friends in life.

00:46:04.020 Well, somebody was just lamenting how we get on the airplane now.

00:46:06.640 We just look down at our devices and we don't talk to the person next to us anymore.

00:46:11.080 I have to say, I like that.

00:46:12.440 That's one good thing about the iPhone.

00:46:15.220 Yeah, I'm not so sure I'm bummed about that.

00:46:17.160 It's pretty cool for me.

00:46:19.060 No, I there's one time I sat down on a plane and I wound up next to the guy who bought Penthouse.

00:46:24.880 He bought it.

00:46:26.120 Bob Guccione put it into bankruptcy and this guy bought it.

00:46:28.860 And it led to this hilarious exchange.

00:46:30.500 But we basically talked about porn for like two hours.

00:46:33.420 I'm like, I don't know if I put this in the good quality or the bad.

00:46:37.740 Like, which category is this going?

00:46:39.520 This this airline ride?

00:46:41.380 Did you talk about like the kinds of porn?

00:46:46.540 Yes.

00:46:46.860 He was talking about how he he was a real estate baron and he kind of got into porn by accident.

00:46:53.160 And how now like his wife, who is this respectable wife of a successful realtor,

00:46:58.740 wound up going with him to these like porn industry Oscar type events.

00:47:03.080 Where they're literally be like, and for best anal.

00:47:06.640 And he'd be like, yes, that's our girl.

00:47:08.560 Yeah.

00:47:10.980 Yeah.

00:47:11.720 We we I love I know the AVN Awards.

00:47:14.580 Yes, we we play clips on your mom's house of this this girl.

00:47:18.000 What was her name on me?

00:47:20.320 My staffers here.

00:47:21.480 She goes, it's a famous clip where she goes.

00:47:24.260 She goes, I was it wasn't until they said you have two in you, you have three in you that

00:47:30.380 I was like, oh, my gosh, this is actually happening.

00:47:33.060 I'm proud of myself.

00:47:34.540 Well, you're proud of yourself.

00:47:35.780 Wow.

00:47:36.140 OK, we had her on our show to explain why she was proud of herself.

00:47:39.120 Oh, my God.

00:47:40.000 Jules Ventura.

00:47:40.780 Yeah.

00:47:41.000 Why?

00:47:41.700 What was the answer?

00:47:43.380 Well, thank you for asking.

00:47:45.760 I love that we're doing this kind of thought provoking stuff on your show.

00:47:48.920 This is all I've ever wanted is to talk about a woman that had two in her or three in her

00:47:52.560 with Megan Kelly.

00:47:53.420 Obviously, she said that because her her vagina and her anus are like muscles that it was

00:48:01.120 an athletic like it was like I stretched.

00:48:04.220 I did it.

00:48:04.880 I'm proud of myself.

00:48:07.100 You know, we had this woman over to our home.

00:48:09.100 We fed her dinner like I we ended up being friends with our sweetest lady.

00:48:13.200 Oh, I'd love to hear the background on how she got to that point in life.

00:48:17.840 All right.

00:48:18.420 Stand by.

00:48:19.020 Let me do a quick commercial and we'll come back because clearly there's a lot more to

00:48:22.240 go over with Christina P.

00:48:24.620 And don't forget, folks, you can see the Megan Kelly show and many venues.

00:48:28.900 YouTube dot com.

00:48:29.980 Download this podcast and listen to us live on Sirius XM Triumph channel every day at

00:48:33.280 noon.

00:48:38.040 Your journey through motherhood from the beginning right to where you are now with a six and a

00:48:43.240 three year old two boys is absolutely hilarious.

00:48:46.060 But what's great about you is like, unlike most of us, you can find the way in and the

00:48:50.960 way out that most of us just like, well, that was annoying.

00:48:52.820 And you're like, oh, no, no, no.

00:48:54.060 This is a comedy moment.

00:48:55.000 I can do something with this.

00:48:56.460 Or we're like, that was traumatic.

00:48:58.020 And you're like, oh, no, no, no.

00:48:58.920 I'm going to make people laugh about this.

00:49:00.840 You do a bit on natural birth that certainly people.

00:49:05.620 This is from an earlier special, but it sort of sets up where we're going to go in your

00:49:08.700 later mom journey.

00:49:09.800 This is soundbite nine.

00:49:10.820 All these nutbags in L.A.

00:49:12.820 They're like, oh, Christina, you've got to have that baby naturally.

00:49:18.020 You've got to do it natural.

00:49:20.980 You've got to give birth naked in a creek.

00:49:26.560 You can bite on branches for the pain.

00:49:32.320 Well, women have been doing it that way for thousands of years.

00:49:36.260 Well, yeah, before drugs were invented, they were like, Christina, what's your birth plan?

00:49:42.740 I was like, motherfucker, I plan on not feeling shit.

00:49:50.860 Give me the 1950s birth.

00:49:54.140 Put me out.

00:49:55.440 Wake me up three days later with a baby and a martini.

00:50:01.660 In the end, that's not how it went for you, however.

00:50:06.260 No, I wanted it to go that way.

00:50:09.040 I planned a C-section, but that that joke actually came from a real video.

00:50:13.640 If you Google woman gives birth in creek, she did it in Australia and she gave birth on

00:50:20.760 rocks, Kelly, like squatting on rocks.

00:50:23.560 And then like all the villagers came out to take a peek.

00:50:28.580 So unsanitary.

00:50:31.140 Plus, what if the creek's like really raging that day?

00:50:33.500 Off he goes.

00:50:34.080 Wait.

00:50:34.260 It doesn't seem like a good idea.

00:50:37.580 Did you did you do a natural?

00:50:40.440 I assume you had like your relatives in the room with you.

00:50:43.500 And no, hell no.

00:50:44.620 Hell no.

00:50:45.300 I did a C-section for all three kids.

00:50:47.100 I feel like I got lucky because I was fine not doing a vaginal birth.

00:50:50.980 You know, I felt like I'd already blown out my stomach and I didn't need to blow out the

00:50:53.840 vag situation.

00:50:54.580 But I would have I was prepared to go natural.

00:50:57.960 But then my first child was what they call transverse, like he was diagonal.

00:51:02.260 And they were like, if he straightens out before it's time, you can go natural.

00:51:05.540 But otherwise, we think we should schedule it.

00:51:07.300 I was like, fine, go ahead and schedule it.

00:51:08.560 So then once you have one by C-section, then they're like, would you like a V-back, you

00:51:12.240 know, vaginal birth after C-section?

00:51:13.520 I'm like, well, then I'm just blowing everything out.

00:51:15.380 Then I have no abs left.

00:51:16.760 I have no vag left.

00:51:18.000 I'm like, can't we keep something tight?

00:51:19.580 And, you know, I agree.

00:51:24.420 You know, I was scheduled my C-section.

00:51:25.940 And then on the morning of my scheduled C-section, I went into labor.

00:51:29.840 And so I had to do it vaginally.

00:51:32.300 But I know this is like so TMI on your show.

00:51:34.580 But yeah, they had to give me, you know, episiotomies.

00:51:38.440 I've had two.

00:51:39.400 So it's so, yeah, I didn't get to save my vag, which is such a bummer.

00:51:44.440 But you can reconstruct.

00:51:45.420 I mean, I know enough of my friends that like there are ways back.

00:51:48.360 It's not a total surrender.

00:51:49.720 It's just a rough ride.

00:51:51.640 Oh, you give me the names of these friends.

00:51:53.180 I'm going to call them.

00:51:54.400 I will.

00:51:55.080 Oh, oh, can I tell you something?

00:51:56.880 No, this is a true story.

00:51:58.120 I was going to see.

00:51:59.040 I can't remember.

00:51:59.700 It was my derm or my dent.

00:52:00.940 I don't remember who it was, but one of my doctors and his office was under construction.

00:52:05.060 So he was like loaning an office from he was renting or whatever from a different doctor.

00:52:10.380 And it turns out that other doctor was some sort of a vag reconstruction doctor.

00:52:14.300 So I had to go into these offices.

00:52:16.140 I swear I wasn't getting vag reconstruction.

00:52:17.860 Everything was intact because of my three C-sections.

00:52:20.080 Anyway, I sat in the chair.

00:52:23.120 I was fully clothed.

00:52:24.020 It must have been a derm.

00:52:24.820 I don't remember, Abby.

00:52:25.800 Did we talk about this?

00:52:26.900 But anyway, I sat in the chair and there is a full floor to ceiling mirror like right

00:52:32.840 in front of you and there's nothing obstructing.

00:52:34.900 And if I hadn't had my clothes on, I mean, it would be a straight shot right out the hoo-ha

00:52:39.060 and then they would walk you through all that they I mean, there are ways back, sister.

00:52:43.220 I'm doing it.

00:52:45.300 Listen, I'm I'm yeah, I'm going to be in L.A. for the summer.

00:52:48.380 I'm going to go.

00:52:48.960 I'm going to look at Beverly Hills and I'm going to get it taken care of.

00:52:51.900 But yeah, it's all good.

00:52:54.180 You know, it's all good.

00:52:55.120 And I think that's the surrender you you make when you have children.

00:52:58.560 You're like, look, I had 40 good years with the with perky boobs and tight abs.

00:53:04.780 I don't know.

00:53:05.820 It's a sacrifice you make.

00:53:07.080 But you look great.

00:53:08.000 I mean, what do you think?

00:53:08.880 Are you bodies or I'm I'm no, I don't exercise.

00:53:13.000 That's the truth.

00:53:13.920 I've been through stints where I exercise.

00:53:16.120 But no, I'm not a big exerciser.

00:53:18.860 I I do.

00:53:20.000 I know you mock it, but I do do the intermittent fasting.

00:53:23.540 I do, too.

00:53:24.640 I'm embarrassed to tell you.

00:53:25.660 Oh, good, because I heard you do a bit on it.

00:53:27.640 I was like, oh, I'm ashamed to tell her.

00:53:31.580 Wait, and I have something else to tell you about, though.

00:53:33.440 Oh, wait, I forgot to mention I buried the lead three weeks before Memorial Day.

00:53:38.240 I put on this show Dr. Kate Shanahan, Kate with a C and Mark Sisson, who's a who's a nutritionist

00:53:45.120 and has a whole line of like foods.

00:53:46.860 It's called Primal Kitchen because I was like, I want to lose five pounds by Memorial Day.

00:53:50.580 And it's not like I'm overweight.

00:53:51.540 You know, I just want to lose a few extra pounds.

00:53:52.920 And you're going into like the bathing suit weather.

00:53:54.500 People can relate.

00:53:56.660 I'm like, so let's find some.

00:53:58.720 Can I tell you life changing?

00:54:01.100 I have bought all of their books.

00:54:02.840 I have the audio version.

00:54:04.220 I have the hard copy version.

00:54:05.880 I got rid of the hateful eight vegetable oils.

00:54:08.740 I've been like decreasing the grains and the sugars, which I didn't think I could ever do.

00:54:13.280 And now I have trained my body to eat its own previously toxic fat instead of me running

00:54:18.140 to the pantry for the sugary stuff.

00:54:19.560 I'm telling you, go back and download that pod.

00:54:22.980 It's a game changer.

00:54:24.380 What is it again?

00:54:25.080 Tell me what Steve Cracker.

00:54:26.980 Tell me what episode that was so we can make it easier on her.

00:54:29.900 It's Mark Sisson and Dr. Kate Shanahan.

00:54:33.860 His book is Two Meals a Day, which is like you need to read that.

00:54:37.480 And then hers is, I think, The Fat Burner Fix.

00:54:41.000 Episode 321.

00:54:42.060 321.

00:54:42.780 Start there.

00:54:44.200 Yeah, I will.

00:54:45.000 Thank you.

00:54:45.380 Because I basically do like one blowout meal a day.

00:54:48.500 I'm pretty sure any dietician will tell you this is a very good idea.

00:54:51.640 So I barely eat dinner and then I wake up, I skip breakfast, and then I have the guys

00:54:56.560 order Torchy's tacos like a buffet.

00:54:59.500 And then I eat queso and chorizo and avocado and I gorge myself and that's it.

00:55:05.340 And they might support that.

00:55:07.600 You'd be surprised.

00:55:08.800 So I'll just, sorry to go off on this tangent, but he's got this one recipe in his book,

00:55:13.020 which I've been eating nonstop.

00:55:14.680 And you would never think you could eat this and stay thin.

00:55:18.100 It's like a taco casserole and it's two pounds of ground beef on top of cauliflower rice,

00:55:25.180 which I'm like, that's going to be disgusting.

00:55:27.160 Wrong.

00:55:27.740 Once it's mixed into a casserole, you can't even tell it's cauliflower rice.

00:55:30.920 Cheese, avocado, all these spices, olives if you want them, salsa, that could go on.

00:55:40.280 Everyone in my family loves it.

00:55:42.220 You can eat like caloric, high fat things.

00:55:45.440 You just can't eat a ton of sugar or pasta or, you know, all like the grains and like

00:55:51.600 the gluten stuff has got to go.

00:55:54.360 And let me tell you something else that I love about this, and I'm not even getting paid

00:55:56.860 for any of this shit.

00:55:57.600 This is real.

00:55:58.420 This is a legit feeling.

00:56:00.240 You, I'm no longer bloated at night.

00:56:04.860 What woman isn't bloated at night?

00:56:07.040 We're all bloated at night.

00:56:08.180 I've had 51 years bloated at night.

00:56:10.720 I'm like, oh my God, it's working.

00:56:13.380 But can you, can you drink wine?

00:56:16.840 Yes, you can drink wine.

00:56:18.820 Mark Sisson, he, he orders like the organic lower sugar wine.

00:56:23.600 That was too much for me.

00:56:24.560 I'm still drinking the regular wine.

00:56:26.160 And if you drink alcohol, like, I mean, liquor, you can do that.

00:56:29.080 Like if you mix it with a club soda, you know, he doesn't want a bunch of, he would, I think

00:56:32.760 he would allow like a little touch of an OJ or a touch of a cranberry juice.

00:56:35.880 But anyway, it's game changing.

00:56:39.080 You're not hungry.

00:56:40.120 If you want a dessert after dinner, you can have like two squares of dark chocolate as

00:56:43.600 long as it's like 70 or 80% cacao, which is actually quite satisfying.

00:56:47.820 I'm telling you people.

00:56:48.900 I hate that word.

00:56:49.580 You're welcome.

00:56:50.060 It's time.

00:56:50.540 Cacao.

00:56:51.100 It feels weird.

00:56:52.000 It's so, it feels, hey, you're, you're culturally appropriating there.

00:56:55.700 I don't think you're supposed to say it that way.

00:56:57.680 I know.

00:56:59.440 What am I supposed to say?

00:57:01.040 Gosh.

00:57:01.960 Well, I'm hooked.

00:57:03.040 Now that I live in the South, y'all, I'm so big into Chick-fil-A.

00:57:06.860 I love Chick-fil-A.

00:57:08.240 Now, the only problem is that they're closed on Sunday because that's the day that they,

00:57:13.560 they grind up the gay people to make the biscuits.

00:57:17.280 And I love it.

00:57:19.800 I love Chick-fil-A.

00:57:21.880 It's so good.

00:57:22.980 And you can have fried chicken.

00:57:25.320 Really?

00:57:26.160 Yep.

00:57:26.440 It's on the okay list as long as it wasn't fried in one of the hateful eight vegetable

00:57:30.480 oils.

00:57:31.240 Olive oil's cool.

00:57:32.560 Coconut oil's cool.

00:57:34.360 Butter's awesome.

00:57:36.000 And you'll go see the list of the hateful eight, like canola, corn, soy oil, all that

00:57:40.760 stuff's got to go.

00:57:42.180 I'm on it.

00:57:43.240 I know.

00:57:43.600 I'm telling you.

00:57:44.160 So yes, I, how has the move to Austin been?

00:57:46.800 Because you, like so many people, fled the state of California for, I don't know if we

00:57:51.440 can say greener pastures, but certainly more reasonable pastures.

00:57:54.480 Yeah, look, I, again, I'm, I'm a lifetime Angeleno.

00:57:58.500 I still have love for my city.

00:58:00.140 I have faith that it will come back.

00:58:01.600 California is the fifth largest economy in the world.

00:58:04.540 It was, I don't know if it is now, but it will triumph again.

00:58:07.220 Uh, but, uh, you know, uh, Texas is fantastic.

00:58:12.160 It has its own stuff.

00:58:14.360 Um, I, I went to the Hobby Lobby to buy Halloween decorations and they're like, man, we don't

00:58:20.480 sell Halloween decorations on account of our religious beliefs.

00:58:24.240 And I was like, well, I'm going to Michael's arts and crafts and hail Satan.

00:58:27.620 And then I, uh, so my friends from LA are like, Christina, how do you deal with the religious

00:58:33.880 stuff?

00:58:34.380 And I go, look, I made a decision.

00:58:36.000 I either stay in LA and live with the woke or I moved to Texas and I live with Jesus.

00:58:43.240 And as far as I know, Jesus never hit anybody at the Oscars.

00:58:47.800 So I'm staying there.

00:58:50.480 I think you made the right call.

00:58:52.560 It's like my brother, he moved to Atlanta and he said for the first like 10 years, his

00:58:56.260 neighbor kept inviting him to come over for church.

00:58:58.480 And my brother kept inviting him to come over for a barbecue.

00:59:01.400 And by the end of the 10 years, they'd managed to combine it into a twofer and everybody won.

00:59:08.240 But what's Austin like?

00:59:09.640 Cause it's kind of a liberal city in the midst of a red state.

00:59:12.180 Yeah.

00:59:13.520 So it's so unique that way.

00:59:14.860 I feel like it's, um, what the nineties was in San Francisco kind of, which I, I live there

00:59:20.260 in the nineties.

00:59:21.260 So I, I, I liked that a lot.

00:59:23.500 Um, I love the Southern culture.

00:59:26.700 They make a lot of chit chat and you and I are big city girls and we do not chit chat.

00:59:31.480 So that's been really hard.

00:59:32.620 It's like, it's like I have to pay the fucking boring toll every time I want to get something

00:59:37.460 done.

00:59:38.420 Uh, you know, it's like they talk about nothing.

00:59:40.260 It's the hillbilly Seinfeld every day of my life, but they're so sweet.

00:59:45.840 Um, and I joined a women's book club.

00:59:48.000 Like they're so into community, which is new for me too.

00:59:51.560 In LA, I didn't even know my neighbors.

00:59:52.760 And now I belong to a women's book club and, um, all the books have been about husband

00:59:57.360 murder, which is a little weird.

01:00:00.500 That makes sense.

01:00:02.920 Yeah.

01:00:03.300 Isn't Texas where we got the Texas cheerleading murder or the chainsaw wielding murdering

01:00:07.660 mom?

01:00:07.980 Like they're into that kind of thing.

01:00:09.660 I appreciate that.

01:00:10.760 It's a crime consumer.

01:00:11.560 Yeah, but I like that they are, um, it feels normal here.

01:00:17.200 Like I take my kids to birthday parties, like kindergarten parties, and they give the kids

01:00:22.920 regular cupcakes, not gluten-free, sugar-free vegan cupcakes.

01:00:27.140 And, and they're like, yeah, it's a boy's party.

01:00:29.600 So we're handing out, you know, toy guns and there's snakes hanging everywhere.

01:00:33.060 And I'm like, this is awesome.

01:00:36.000 So it's so true.

01:00:37.600 So yeah, how, how is it where you are is our Connecticut is more reasonable than Manhattan

01:00:43.420 was for sure.

01:00:44.960 It's a lot more fair and balanced.

01:00:46.280 It's just like, there are people who are a little bit more conservative and that's fine.

01:00:51.080 But even the liberals here are not as hardcore woke progressives.

01:00:55.300 There's a small sampling of it, but for the most part, people are just kind of reasonable

01:00:59.200 and going about living their lives.

01:01:00.900 But I have found as I put myself out there more, you know, like meet people, I haven't,

01:01:06.500 I have to make an effort to meet people.

01:01:08.640 Though Dr. Laura, who I know you also love said, just let it happen naturally.

01:01:12.780 I, I, I know, I know you love, I had her on my show.

01:01:15.500 I had the, I had the chance to ask her like all my questions.

01:01:18.280 And she was like, you don't have to do that.

01:01:20.780 She's like, just live your life and you know, it'll happen.

01:01:25.500 But anyway, I have had the occasion to spend time with new, new moms, new people in my life.

01:01:30.180 And I have really decided I'm very socially awkward.

01:01:34.900 I'm missing a bunch of skills.

01:01:37.500 The irony of that.

01:01:39.360 I'm not good at it.

01:01:40.200 I'm not good at small talk.

01:01:41.980 And I just feel like a bull in a china shop.

01:01:44.700 And I definitely say the wrong things a lot.

01:01:47.620 Hello.

01:01:48.300 That's, but hey, thankfully you and I have made a career on saying the wrong things a lot.

01:01:53.360 Yeah.

01:01:54.200 People want to hear us say the wrong things.

01:01:56.160 Well, and, and I think your observations are so funny about like hanging out with moms

01:02:00.920 because I can hear your LA background.

01:02:03.160 You know, they're like, I don't know.

01:02:06.380 Connecticut's more of a, it's got normal people.

01:02:09.140 New York had just a lot of like granola.

01:02:11.720 My friends were cool.

01:02:12.820 They were awesome.

01:02:13.500 But like, if you just walk down the street of New York, you'd see a lot of like upper

01:02:16.520 west side liberals who, you know, would never wear a stitch of makeup and had some Birkenstocks

01:02:20.640 on and maybe we're carrying a sign for Greenpeace or, you know, Planned Parenthood here in Connecticut.

01:02:25.100 They're more normal.

01:02:26.140 This, this bit from your, your current special mom jeans, uh, perfect moms.

01:02:32.160 I'll play it.

01:02:33.120 And then we can talk about which state are we discussing?

01:02:35.840 This is soundbite 14.

01:02:39.200 And I work on my perfectionism.

01:02:41.120 That's a huge problem with me, you know, cause I compare myself to those perfect moms.

01:02:45.760 Oh, you know, those bitches, those perfect moms.

01:02:49.600 Oh, they got four kids and somehow they're a size zero.

01:02:52.400 And what does she say?

01:02:54.500 Oh, I do intermittent fasting.

01:02:57.780 See?

01:02:58.420 Like, yeah, so does half the world.

01:02:59.700 It's called starvation, bitch.

01:03:00.840 The worst is when she's like, my husband is my best friend.

01:03:10.200 Gagging.

01:03:11.400 Gross.

01:03:11.960 These are the same people that mouth kiss their moms and dads.

01:03:15.040 I know it.

01:03:18.820 No, your husband is not your best friend.

01:03:21.480 Your best friend is the person you talk shit about your husband to.

01:03:24.620 Yeah, so who are those moms?

01:03:30.240 Are those your L.A. moms or are those your Austin moms?

01:03:33.200 No, definitely.

01:03:34.480 Like, hey, I've met some cool L.A. moms and I want to give some shout outs to those broads.

01:03:39.300 But yeah, there was definitely like the moms that drop off their kids in the Lululemon gear.

01:03:44.140 And they're like, I'm going to do yoga right now.

01:03:46.080 Like, bitch, you know, you're not like you're tired.

01:03:47.760 Like, you've got to be tired like the rest of us.

01:03:49.760 Please tell me you're just going to go home and eat something and take a nap while your kids are at school.

01:03:54.340 Right.

01:03:57.280 Yeah, there's the pressure.

01:03:58.660 But I feel like Texas moms are way, way cool.

01:04:01.380 And I'm really digging the vibe of just just survive, just especially the young years.

01:04:05.680 Like, just get through it, you know?

01:04:07.280 Yeah, that's right.

01:04:08.540 It's six and three is hard.

01:04:10.760 I mean, I will say mine are now 12, 11 and eight.

01:04:13.540 And it's awesome now.

01:04:15.260 But it got awesome.

01:04:16.540 You don't have to wait this long.

01:04:17.720 It's going to get really awesome really soon.

01:04:20.440 What do you think?

01:04:21.040 Like, four, five?

01:04:22.980 I think four is the crossover point for a little guy.

01:04:25.700 I think four is where they start to show, like, genuine signs of independence that you can exploit.

01:04:30.480 And certainly by five.

01:04:32.880 But I mean, when they're five and, what is it, the three you're at age, seven, eight, five and eight, you're good.

01:04:37.800 From that point forward, it's good, good, good.

01:04:40.260 Okay.

01:04:40.960 Now, are you best friends with your husband?

01:04:42.640 Because I've heard you talk about him.

01:04:44.620 But I think you've, I feel like you and I are similar in that we understand that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

01:04:50.480 I've been reading that book and there's definitely differences, you know?

01:04:54.240 Yeah.

01:04:54.700 I don't think I could say, I wouldn't say he's my best friend.

01:04:58.080 I don't want my best friend on top of me, you know?

01:05:01.200 I just, like, he needs, you just, there needs to be some distance there where there's, like, there are questions, you know?

01:05:07.600 I always say Doug is the perfect amount of aloof.

01:05:10.220 Like, I'm still chasing him and he's still chasing me.

01:05:13.860 You know, I like that.

01:05:15.080 And if, if, if he were my best friend, it would be in the bag.

01:05:17.820 I still feel like anything could happen, you know?

01:05:19.820 Like, I don't know.

01:05:21.240 I like the mystery that's involved in our relationship where he's still kind of pursuing me and whatever.

01:05:26.300 But no, my best friends, like, that's the one you can have catty talk with.

01:05:29.940 You can be your absolute worst self.

01:05:32.220 You know, I try to bring my A game to my relationship with my husband.

01:05:34.500 Well, yeah, I mean, I, I, I love your, I love it.

01:05:39.800 Aloof and mysterious, like Jackie Onassis.

01:05:42.040 That's what she was.

01:05:43.200 And I really try to do that.

01:05:45.480 But then, like, what do you do when you have to make a brown?

01:05:48.800 No, you don't do that in front of him.

01:05:50.680 I, we did not cut our.

01:05:51.780 I don't do it in front of him, no.

01:05:52.340 No, we don't cut our toenails or our nails in front of each other.

01:05:55.180 We don't go to the bathroom with, like, the stall open, you know, the door open in front of one another.

01:05:59.400 Like, he uses some spray on his feet, like his athletic foot, whatever it is.

01:06:03.080 I'm like, don't do that in here.

01:06:04.080 No, that's got to go to the other room.

01:06:06.000 Like, certain things cannot happen.

01:06:07.520 Even, like, pronouncing around naked.

01:06:09.700 I don't do that in front of Doug.

01:06:10.660 Like, he's got to earn it.

01:06:11.460 That's got to be a moment.

01:06:12.700 You know, it's like, if you just show it all the time, it's, like, not a special thing.

01:06:18.440 Speaking of foot spray, I was doing a Target run the other day.

01:06:21.580 And I was like, do you need anything from Target?

01:06:24.700 And my husband's like, yeah, foot spray.

01:06:26.060 Good news is it can also treat my jockage because it kills the same fungus.

01:06:34.080 And, like, I want to be, I want to be this woman of mystery.

01:06:38.680 But, like, every time my husband uses the toilet, it looks like the bottom of a pudding cup.

01:06:43.160 So, I'm like, I don't know.

01:06:44.180 Why doesn't he clean up after himself?

01:06:45.680 Sweetie, we have a Toto.

01:06:46.880 I have a Toto washlet.

01:06:47.980 Like, the toilet talks to you.

01:06:49.780 It's fancy.

01:06:50.000 And it doesn't, I don't know why.

01:06:52.060 Maybe we should get a stronger one.

01:06:53.520 Do you have a washlet?

01:06:55.020 No.

01:06:55.340 Have you done the Toto yet?

01:06:56.820 Haven't done it.

01:06:57.600 But whenever I go to a hotel and it's, like, cleaning me from below, it's like, whoa, how

01:07:01.900 you doing?

01:07:03.320 Oh, my gosh.

01:07:04.000 I have to send you a Tushy at least.

01:07:06.260 You got to get into this.

01:07:07.640 What do you mean?

01:07:08.120 There's, like, a halfway there thing?

01:07:10.820 Yeah.

01:07:11.360 Well, okay.

01:07:11.800 So, Tushy is, like, JV squad.

01:07:14.040 It's, like, you don't need a lot of, you just install it and it squirts water up there.

01:07:18.560 But then if you're ready to move on to Varsity, I highly recommend the Toto washlet 350E.

01:07:23.020 You can get it on Amazon.

01:07:24.580 And it squirts hot water.

01:07:27.180 And it's, like, a full cleaning, a drying.

01:07:29.460 It just massages you.

01:07:30.780 It tells you you're a good person.

01:07:32.400 It loves you.

01:07:33.600 And if you want to get the whole toilet, well, that's another deal.

01:07:37.680 I would.

01:07:38.060 I would.

01:07:38.960 I don't.

01:07:39.280 It seems, like, a lot.

01:07:40.760 I'm not sure.

01:07:41.560 Like, unlike your husband, I'm not really getting all that messy.

01:07:44.120 Thatcher would love it.

01:07:49.760 Thatcher would love it.

01:07:50.780 You're right.

01:07:51.460 My eight-year-old.

01:07:52.860 I'd never get him out of there.

01:07:56.020 Oh, yeah.

01:07:56.560 They love to push the buttons.

01:07:57.740 My kids love to push the buttons on the Toto.

01:07:59.820 Right?

01:08:00.680 I mean, like, you're a six-year-old?

01:08:02.660 He must never leave the bathroom.

01:08:04.400 No, they love it.

01:08:05.360 They love it.

01:08:06.040 It's just all dicks all day in my house.

01:08:10.040 Well, speaking of that, are you going to go for the girl?

01:08:12.740 Are you done?

01:08:14.120 I wish.

01:08:15.060 You know, if I had started 10 years sooner, I think I would go for three.

01:08:19.960 But, I mean, I think I got the last egg out of me on that second baby.

01:08:24.480 I did IVF on my younger one.

01:08:27.000 And, you know, I do love having kids so much.

01:08:30.400 I wish.

01:08:31.400 But next lifetime.

01:08:33.180 Yeah.

01:08:33.700 But you know what?

01:08:34.340 I also feel like, when it comes to children, it almost does feel like what's meant to be will

01:08:39.660 happen.

01:08:40.020 You know, like, I'll bet you that this is what you're meant to have for whatever reason.

01:08:44.700 Like, this is the family you were meant to have.

01:08:46.500 You know, it's like, I know that feeling of you because I wish I had met Doug 10 years

01:08:51.160 earlier, too.

01:08:51.860 We got married when I was 30.

01:08:54.280 Well, we met when I was 35.

01:08:56.320 And he's younger than I am, too.

01:08:58.020 He's nine months younger than I am.

01:08:59.620 And I know you married a young'un, too, which is annoying.

01:09:02.820 It's so annoying.

01:09:03.740 I'm annoyed by Doug's youngness.

01:09:05.160 So I say to Tommy all the time, I'm like, oh, you're only 43.

01:09:08.860 What's that like?

01:09:10.080 You know, like, oh, I remember being that young.

01:09:12.540 Oh, it's so gross.

01:09:13.880 Does he rub it in?

01:09:15.500 All the time.

01:09:16.240 He's like, oh, you're so old.

01:09:17.620 I'm like, shut up.

01:09:18.420 Oh, speaking of your amazingly talented husband, Tom Segura, just let's introduce him to the

01:09:24.880 audience because he's also a comedian.

01:09:26.380 Here's a bit from his stand-up.

01:09:27.960 And it kind of involves your life in Soundbite 17.

01:09:33.540 I'm a new dad.

01:09:34.740 How about that?

01:09:38.360 It's the best.

01:09:40.280 It's awesome.

01:09:41.460 Guys always hit me up.

01:09:42.640 I don't know why they trust me, but they're like, should I do it?

01:09:45.320 And I'm like, yeah, of course you should do it.

01:09:46.820 It's the best.

01:09:47.720 It's awesome.

01:09:48.700 They're amazing.

01:09:49.580 And also being a dad is easy, man.

01:09:53.280 Super easy.

01:09:55.060 It's way easier than being a mom.

01:09:59.060 Here's all you got to do if you want to be a great dad.

01:10:01.420 Seriously.

01:10:02.200 Don't abandon your kid.

01:10:04.540 That's it.

01:10:05.340 That's all you got to do.

01:10:07.200 So true.

01:10:11.720 Sad, but so true, right?

01:10:14.380 So true.

01:10:15.300 I feel like I hear mommy, mommy, mommy.

01:10:18.420 Mommy all day.

01:10:19.220 Last week, I was like, call me Rick or Steve.

01:10:21.700 I don't want to be called mommy.

01:10:22.640 I can't hear mommy one more time.

01:10:24.860 Do girls do that too?

01:10:26.280 Oh, yeah.

01:10:26.640 I have literally said to my children, stop.

01:10:28.980 Stop saying that.

01:10:29.720 Stop using that mommy.

01:10:30.980 Stop it.

01:10:31.520 I don't want to hear that one more time.

01:10:33.160 I was thinking about it earlier.

01:10:34.320 You were saying like, we were watching some of the clips.

01:10:36.300 You were talking about how like, you know, you, well, I'll just play it.

01:10:38.260 I think I have it here.

01:10:39.840 This is soundbite 15.

01:10:40.980 This is going to set up my point.

01:10:42.160 Watch.

01:10:42.340 So anyway, I fell down the stairs, getting to my baby in a hurry.

01:10:49.940 And that's how I broke my ankle.

01:10:51.860 And see, that's a mother's love.

01:10:53.740 That's a fucking mother's love.

01:10:57.340 And nobody tells you this, but being a mom, it's an emotional roller coaster.

01:11:00.580 Like, I go from joy to rage to exhaustion to exhilaration every six seconds, every day.

01:11:09.920 And just when I'm ready to throw that baby in the river, he smiles at me.

01:11:20.800 Yeah.

01:11:21.580 Yeah, they smile at you with those little jack-o'-lantern teeth.

01:11:27.240 And you're filled with so much joy.

01:11:29.080 You have crazy thoughts.

01:11:30.980 You're like, I want 10 more!

01:11:36.400 Come on, Tommy, we're fucking tonight!

01:11:42.440 So I can relate to this because you're like, and you can get angry.

01:11:47.280 You can lose your temper.

01:11:48.220 And you can think, oh my God, if I saw a video of myself right now, I would be horrified.

01:11:52.520 I can feel myself inflicting the damage in this moment.

01:11:56.120 And you're like, reel it back, reel it back.

01:11:57.760 And then they do something awesome that makes you realize, I'm doing a good job.

01:12:05.200 Like, that's what my takeaway is.

01:12:07.420 Like, I actually, I might be kind of cool.

01:12:09.680 I'm nailing this.

01:12:10.460 Yeah, and that's the back and forth of motherhood.

01:12:15.360 And like you're talking about trying to find cool mom friends.

01:12:19.160 It's so hard because I think it's hard to admit that motherhood is a lot of suffering.

01:12:26.260 It's not as glamorous as the baby bliss that they promote when like a Kardashian gets pregnant.

01:12:33.320 I'll never forget seeing People Magazine, baby bliss.

01:12:35.540 And it's like, yeah, yes, and yes, and it's like, I love them.

01:12:40.220 But some days are really, really terrible.

01:12:43.900 But I always think about Jordan Peterson when he talks about taking the right path.

01:12:49.120 And I think that having children is the right path.

01:12:52.180 And it keeps you in a good place because you're constantly striving to be your best self.

01:12:58.360 And it forces you to look at all your stuff.

01:13:02.420 And I've been in therapy for a decade, you know, just trying to identify feelings and have feelings and feel feelings.

01:13:10.720 So it's been quite a journey.

01:13:13.600 And I know you, I've heard you talk about your upbringing.

01:13:17.440 And I think about like, what do I want to give my children?

01:13:21.280 What's the secret sauce to making people successful, resilient people?

01:13:26.320 And it's just that, resilience.

01:13:28.360 And I don't like safe spaces.

01:13:29.820 I don't like trigger warnings.

01:13:31.840 I don't like peanut allergies because, you know, those were created.

01:13:35.740 Those didn't occur when you and I were children.

01:13:38.100 And they created them because they stopped giving peanuts to children because they thought that would give them allergies.

01:13:43.420 Yeah.

01:13:44.900 Yeah.

01:13:45.400 Let's talk about resilience.

01:13:46.400 I'm dying to talk about this with you because I know this is like one of your big things.

01:13:50.980 Definitely.

01:13:51.560 Definitely.

01:13:52.020 I mean, I agree with everything you said.

01:13:54.180 And I think you're in the right state.

01:13:55.340 And I think it's great to be supported by a community that has the same values.

01:13:59.160 You know, like one of the reasons we go out to Montana a lot and have a small cabin out there is I like the way the Montanans are.

01:14:06.900 I like how they reinforce our values with our kids.

01:14:09.120 You know, my kid didn't stand fast enough in the national anthem played at the rodeo.

01:14:12.560 It was like three guys like, get on your feet, kid.

01:14:15.740 I'm like, yeah, good.

01:14:17.460 Thanks, village.

01:14:18.860 You know, in Manhattan, they'd be like, take a knee, take a knee, get down.

01:14:24.440 So I like that.

01:14:25.800 I feel like you're doing that right now.

01:14:27.300 In Connecticut, it's good, too.

01:14:28.300 It's much more, as I said, mixed ideologically.

01:14:31.060 So that's a step in the right direction.

01:14:32.640 But I do think that, you know, the resilience requires you to every time the challenge comes, say, thank you.

01:14:38.440 Yeah.

01:14:38.900 Great.

01:14:39.640 Stronger than I'm than I was.

01:14:40.960 You know, this is another opportunity and that you can just can't get from A to B without going through it.

01:14:46.180 So it's like you can't sit back and admire somebody's strength or courage or, you know, mental toughness and hope it just magically appears.

01:14:53.860 You know, that's why you really have to thank God for the tough times and the challenges and the assholes who come into your life because they're there for a reason.

01:15:01.880 You know, if you if you choose to pay attention, they're there for a reason.

01:15:07.300 And by the way, I love that you love Jordan Peterson and Dr.

01:15:10.120 Laura, that's this is what's brought us together.

01:15:12.280 Dr.

01:15:12.540 Laura always says, just do the right thing.

01:15:14.340 Do the right thing.

01:15:15.040 It's so simple, but it really is.

01:15:17.560 You kind of forget that that should be your North Star.

01:15:21.320 Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:15:23.480 And again, I don't agree with everything Jordan Peterson says or what everything that Dr.

01:15:29.340 Laura says, but I can glean the important things, you know, and I go like that last thing you just said.

01:15:35.460 There's a blaspheme that came out of your mouth there about Dr.

01:15:37.840 Laura.

01:15:38.460 Oh, you know what I miss is that she doesn't say anymore.

01:15:42.520 I am my kid's mom.

01:15:43.760 That was my favorite.

01:15:44.740 I am my kid's mom.

01:15:45.440 But I guess Derek is like an adult now.

01:15:47.420 Yeah, he's all grown up.

01:15:49.180 She's so funny that I love listening to her because like she's so abrasive.

01:15:53.480 Even with the people who absolutely love her.

01:15:56.220 I was just listening to her yesterday and this woman called and she was like, oh, I've got this.

01:16:00.600 You know, what should I do?

01:16:01.620 I'm kind of still obsessed with my children and I, you know, I need to live my own life.

01:16:05.980 They're out now and she's kind of going on and she just will cut you off.

01:16:09.020 Like, get to the point.

01:16:12.260 I love her.

01:16:14.360 It's my favorite, right?

01:16:16.300 I know.

01:16:16.740 She's like, um, I asked you the question and if you're not going to answer, I'm going to have to hang up on you.

01:16:21.100 Madam, madam.

01:16:23.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:25.880 Don't make me ma'am you.

01:16:27.020 Don't make me.

01:16:28.040 Oh, God.

01:16:28.800 I listen to her so much.

01:16:30.620 But she's not wrong about stuff, especially about like family and child rearing.

01:16:35.280 And I feel like these old school values are very American.

01:16:38.720 And my parents are Hungarian immigrants.

01:16:40.700 They escaped from communism, right?

01:16:42.840 In 1969 and they moved to Canada.

01:16:44.580 I was born in Canada.

01:16:45.380 We came to the U.S.

01:16:47.040 In 1980.

01:16:47.960 And I was always told over and over, like, America is freedom.

01:16:52.380 America is freedom.

01:16:53.400 America is freedom and freedom of speech.

01:16:55.200 And you can be what you want to be.

01:16:57.180 And I like, when did it?

01:16:59.460 I still love this country.

01:17:00.880 I still believe in this country.

01:17:02.060 And it bums me out to hear people poo-pooing capitalism, especially people that are like,

01:17:07.900 oh, they hate capitalism.

01:17:09.160 Really?

01:17:09.500 Did you just tweet that on your cool-ass iPhone that was invented?

01:17:13.360 Oh, literally.

01:17:14.020 It's awesome.

01:17:14.280 On a private jet.

01:17:15.720 You know, I mean, that's the, you know, you've got people like, I hate to round back to my

01:17:19.440 favorite pair of targets, but Meghan and Harry out there in their private jet lecturing the

01:17:23.280 rest of us on the environment and how we're a racist country and the royal family's race.

01:17:26.740 It's like, would you shut up from your private jet on your way back to your Malibu mansion?

01:17:30.260 Nobody wants to hear from you.

01:17:32.400 Nobody.

01:17:32.940 And I hate Meghan and Harry too.

01:17:34.540 And it's so funny.

01:17:35.720 Like, and just because, would you even talk shit about your mother-in-law publicly?

01:17:41.460 Forget that they're royal.

01:17:43.120 Yeah.

01:17:43.780 I mean, how disgusting is that to poop all over your family, your in-laws?

01:17:49.320 It's just tacky.

01:17:50.620 While Prince Philip, the queen's husband, was in the hospital dying.

01:17:56.020 One of them's a big racist.

01:17:57.460 I'm not going to tell you who it is.

01:17:58.640 But poor me, I don't know what title my kid is going to get.

01:18:03.300 Who gives a shit about your kid's title?

01:18:05.900 Nobody.

01:18:06.820 And Princess Kate made me cry.

01:18:08.580 Well, know your audience because everybody loves Princess Kate.

01:18:10.780 So you probably shouldn't divide yourself from her because it's automatically going to be

01:18:13.780 Team Kate, Team Kate.

01:18:15.160 She's just not that smart.

01:18:16.400 Of course.

01:18:16.960 Yeah.

01:18:17.200 Kate toes the line.

01:18:18.520 Like, she knows the gig that she got into, which is to be a royal.

01:18:21.320 It's a hard gig.

01:18:22.360 It's not for everybody.

01:18:23.220 And she's doing a great job of it, I think.

01:18:26.600 But I love that interview with Meghan Markle and Oprah.

01:18:30.020 I mean, Oprah sunk her teeth into that little girl.

01:18:33.900 I was like, oh, don't you feel like it was kind of like Oprah wanted her to look bad?

01:18:40.480 No, just like not want her to look bad.

01:18:44.900 But Oprah was like, oh, I'm going to get into this juicy thing.

01:18:48.420 You know, there's an age difference.

01:18:49.720 Like, you know.

01:18:51.240 Oh, Oprah knew.

01:18:52.120 I mean, she knew every single thing that Meghan Markle was going to say.

01:18:54.860 Oprah doesn't go into an interview without having had her team do 25 pre-interviews.

01:18:59.260 So she knew every bit of news that was going to be made and led her to it, you know, like

01:19:03.420 she knew exactly which which buttons to press.

01:19:06.520 And, you know, Harry and Meghan have been in one trick ponies for a while, though.

01:19:09.260 It's all complaining about their woke stuff.

01:19:11.660 And like, literally, the low point was when Harry, Prince Harry, started lecturing us about

01:19:17.460 white supremacy.

01:19:19.120 It's like, do we really need to take a look into the royal family's history, the Mountbatten?

01:19:24.800 Where did the Mountbatten come from in your Mountbatten, Windsor last name?

01:19:28.420 Like, let's not like if you want us to go there, we can go there.

01:19:32.820 But I literally saw the pictures of you with a swastika on your arm.

01:19:35.800 So like, maybe take a seat on this particular lecture.

01:19:40.160 It was a Halloween costume.

01:19:41.160 I'm just saying.

01:19:41.880 So, all right, let's pause for one second, do one more break, come back and have a ton

01:19:46.260 more fun with Christina P.

01:19:52.840 Let's talk about Netflix and how that's gone, because I know for many years now, I mean,

01:19:56.960 you were part of this 2015 movie with all these comedians who narrated it, calling attention

01:20:02.660 to this problem.

01:20:03.580 It was called Can We Take a Joke?

01:20:05.520 And lots of comedians sort of saying, can we?

01:20:07.980 You know, can we still in 2015?

01:20:09.600 Well, flash forward now, you know, how many, seven years later?

01:20:13.280 And it's like worse than ever.

01:20:14.880 And Netflix's been at the center of it, thanks to the blowback against Chappelle and now against

01:20:20.180 Ricky Gervais.

01:20:21.040 And I know you've been, you've experienced some of that yourself.

01:20:23.880 So how was that?

01:20:26.420 Well, Netflix has been fantastic, actually.

01:20:30.840 And you're right.

01:20:32.480 2015, I think, was the last time you could tell a joke in a club that there was no pushback.

01:20:40.380 People had fun.

01:20:41.420 And then the tide turned and it got really, really tight and really, really scary.

01:20:47.580 And people were getting canceled, losing their careers.

01:20:50.460 And then I think with this last thing with Chappelle, it's been so awesome because they

01:20:55.420 couldn't take him down.

01:20:56.500 And his statement was so great.

01:20:59.300 I don't know if you heard what he said.

01:21:01.420 He's like, number one, I will not be summoned, meaning I will not come talk to the woke people

01:21:06.440 that are upset with me just because, like, I will not be summoned.

01:21:10.520 You have to watch the special front to back before you can talk to me.

01:21:13.920 And number three, you have to admit that Hannah Gadsby isn't funny.

01:21:21.780 I mean, the greatest.

01:21:23.880 Pretty good.

01:21:24.400 Pretty good.

01:21:25.680 Pretty great.

01:21:26.640 And I've sensed it.

01:21:27.780 So I was at the comedy store during the Netflix is a joke festival.

01:21:31.260 And I think comedians are starting to push back.

01:21:33.920 I was at the comedy store just doing spots.

01:21:35.940 And you see us.

01:21:37.120 I think we're all getting sick of it.

01:21:39.000 And I think when they tried to cancel Joe Rogan, that was the last of it.

01:21:42.620 It's like, really?

01:21:44.180 I know this guy.

01:21:45.120 I've known this guy for 15 years.

01:21:47.300 He's been nothing but fantastic to everybody, to me, to black comedians, to every comedian,

01:21:53.960 to everybody.

01:21:56.080 I think we're getting over it.

01:21:57.420 And I feel the tide is turning.

01:21:59.340 And maybe I'm too optimistic, but.

01:22:02.100 That's exciting.

01:22:03.500 I think so.

01:22:04.260 I hope you're right.

01:22:04.420 I mean, that would be I mean, even Netflix sent out that memo saying we're going to produce

01:22:08.520 for all sorts of people, all sorts of different content.

01:22:10.960 If you can't take it, bye.

01:22:13.380 Absolutely.

01:22:15.120 I love when last week you were talking about this this girl that wanted reparations for

01:22:22.980 she wanted snacks.

01:22:24.780 Yes.

01:22:26.360 And you're like, how is this woman going to be a lawyer?

01:22:28.760 I mean, they're going to tell you that you're stupid and that your ideas are awful.

01:22:33.180 And you've been through so much, too.

01:22:34.980 Like, do you think that people can cultivate resilience or is this something that you're

01:22:38.480 born with?

01:22:39.020 Yes.

01:22:39.240 No, they 100 percent can cultivate it.

01:22:42.060 I didn't come into the world like this.

01:22:43.840 That's why I feel so strongly about all this stuff.

01:22:47.260 It's like I have lots of like moms in particular, but also dads will come and say, like, I really

01:22:52.580 want my I have my daughter listening to you and I want my daughter to be as strong as you

01:22:56.040 are.

01:22:56.200 I'm like, that's so easy.

01:22:57.460 You got it.

01:22:58.180 Just get out of her way.

01:22:59.460 Let all the shit that's coming her way come her way and then be there to be supportive.

01:23:03.700 You know, you can support your child through trauma and certainly, you know, give them

01:23:07.720 some thoughts on how to navigate it, but let them navigate it.

01:23:11.620 And then their confidence builds, even if it doesn't come out perfectly.

01:23:14.760 You know, it's like courage is built.

01:23:16.660 Self-confidence is built, but you can't go from, you know, having none to having a ton

01:23:21.480 overnight.

01:23:22.400 You've got to do all those little baby steps in between and then and then you'll take

01:23:26.580 bigger risks and then bigger falls will come your way and it'll handle those and you'll

01:23:30.400 have even more confidence and more like just keep getting back up.

01:23:33.700 You can just keep getting back up, get back up, get back up, get back up.

01:23:37.000 That's like it's not even that complicated.

01:23:39.500 So I hate safe spaces.

01:23:42.700 They're exactly the opposite.

01:23:44.560 I spoke to Stanford business students recently and I said, run toward the danger.

01:23:50.340 You want to be strong?

01:23:51.620 Run toward the danger and hope something goes wrong.

01:23:55.520 Yes, it's the anti fragility.

01:23:57.680 What's that book about the anti fragility thing?

01:24:00.020 Like that's that's how you you get over things is exposure and going over it.

01:24:05.980 I know.

01:24:06.260 Are you in therapy?

01:24:07.060 I think I heard you mention I have been for most of my life.

01:24:09.500 I'm not currently because I, you know, moved.

01:24:11.320 But my therapist is a genius and I love him.

01:24:13.560 He got me through so much.

01:24:15.040 And one of his classic lines was this is after like all this shit had happened at Fox

01:24:19.300 and I was leaving.

01:24:20.300 I was at NBC and he said to me, you know, Megan, you don't always have to have to take

01:24:26.300 the path of most resistance.

01:24:32.000 Now you tell me.

01:24:33.660 But yeah, he's brilliant and really, really helped me.

01:24:36.600 In fact, he's probably the reason why I'm no longer in it because I'm doing pretty well

01:24:40.040 right now and I haven't felt the need, you know, the urgent need to be there weekly.

01:24:44.160 Yeah.

01:24:44.440 And I know you I mean, you talk about your your upbringing a little bit, but do you think

01:24:48.920 this was modeled for you?

01:24:51.400 You know what my mom did?

01:24:52.800 You know what my mom did?

01:24:53.660 She's like you.

01:24:54.420 She was funny.

01:24:55.820 She is funny.

01:24:56.740 She's still around.

01:24:57.500 But like growing up, she would just laugh in our face a lot of the times when we had

01:25:01.860 some stupid problem.

01:25:02.860 Like, I'm not dealing with that.

01:25:04.580 And just walk off.

01:25:05.840 You know, it's like, oh, OK.

01:25:09.000 I like there's a funny there's a story that lives in infamy where I had some really important

01:25:13.200 paper due and I got to school and I called her.

01:25:16.300 She was a nurse at the Albany Veterans Hospital and I called her.

01:25:19.520 I'm like, Mom, I left my term paper at home.

01:25:21.760 If I don't get that term paper and I'm going to fail this class.

01:25:24.220 And she's like, and I'm like, you got to go home.

01:25:27.660 You got to get me that term paper.

01:25:28.620 You got to bring it to me.

01:25:29.320 I didn't even have a car.

01:25:30.140 I couldn't drive.

01:25:30.900 She she laughed at me and hung up.

01:25:33.900 There's but that's that's what you need, right?

01:25:36.940 Like you figure it out.

01:25:39.260 You be responsible.

01:25:40.280 She used to have a sign in my kitchen cupboard that read lack of planning on your part does

01:25:44.440 not justify an emergency on my part.

01:25:46.640 And like I and I feel like what I'm passing down to my kids is just I'm too tired to really

01:25:52.780 be that kind of a mom.

01:25:53.880 So I'm not really doing it by design so much as like I'm just tired.

01:25:56.860 So they're going to have to take care of themselves.

01:26:01.340 Girl, amen, because my three year old is in this phase of wanting to do things for himself

01:26:07.240 and then wanting me to do it.

01:26:09.900 And so I have to be like, no, no, no, you do it.

01:26:12.100 You get the water.

01:26:13.080 You get your damn water.

01:26:14.380 Yes.

01:26:15.060 And I heard him explaining how to make hot dogs to my older kid.

01:26:18.660 He's like, you put the hot dog in the microwave and when it pops, it's ready.

01:26:24.700 Close.

01:26:25.420 And I'm like, that sounds good.

01:26:27.000 Yep.

01:26:27.240 That's what mom taught you.

01:26:28.220 But, you know, and I I don't know, like I know feelings are important.

01:26:34.220 I think feelings are great and you have to have them and you have to process them.

01:26:37.840 But that's not all there is.

01:26:39.280 And I feel like this era is all about feelings and not enough about action and resilience

01:26:45.140 and kicking ass.

01:26:46.180 Like, listen, the boys in the studio saw the new Maverick movie, the new Top Gun movie.

01:26:51.140 And I'm like, you know why it resonates even today?

01:26:55.620 Listen, Maverick loses his partner, Goose.

01:27:00.440 He loses his girl.

01:27:02.540 But you know what?

01:27:03.700 He still goes up in that plane and he fights the goddamn Russians and he kills those goddamn

01:27:09.140 Russians.

01:27:09.900 And that's, you know what I mean?

01:27:12.240 Like, that's America.

01:27:13.960 That's America, Jack.

01:27:16.180 And he's still hot.

01:27:18.060 He's still hot.

01:27:18.980 He looks amazing.

01:27:19.720 What is he doing?

01:27:21.360 He has definitely had work done.

01:27:23.300 Tom Cruise.

01:27:24.180 Yeah.

01:27:24.400 Have you looked at like the Where Are They Now rundown of all the stars who were in the

01:27:29.280 original Top Gun?

01:27:30.200 It didn't end that well for everyone.

01:27:31.740 That's all.

01:27:32.100 That's all I'll say.

01:27:33.640 Tom Cruise looks amazing.

01:27:35.980 Whatever he's doing, it's working.

01:27:38.420 Well, you know what I love is that Kelly McGillis, they interviewed her and they asked her if she

01:27:43.240 was upset that she wasn't asked to do the new movie.

01:27:45.980 And she's like, well, no, I'm old and fat.

01:27:48.980 And that would be ridiculous.

01:27:52.040 Good for her.

01:27:53.380 Yeah.

01:27:54.000 That's what I thought.

01:27:54.620 Well, it's like she lives, she's in an industry where like you're not allowed to get old and

01:27:58.680 you're not allowed to gain weight.

01:28:00.180 You know, you're just, it's not allowed.

01:28:01.720 It's not permitted.

01:28:02.500 So like truly good for her.

01:28:03.920 I saw an article about Melissa Gilbert recently who I loved on Little House on the Prairie

01:28:07.820 growing up.

01:28:09.120 One of my dreams, like NBC wasn't all bad.

01:28:11.060 And one of the good things about it was I got to interview her and Nellie, Alison

01:28:14.880 Arngrin from.

01:28:16.280 Yes.

01:28:17.180 That bitch.

01:28:18.500 It was awesome.

01:28:19.400 Right.

01:28:19.920 The bitch.

01:28:21.020 She was the funniest.

01:28:21.960 She's a comedian.

01:28:22.680 She's so funny.

01:28:24.340 Anyway, Melissa Gilbert has now just exited stage left because she's sick of dealing with

01:28:28.620 the bullshit and like having to stick your face full of poison.

01:28:31.420 And she's in some like sort of, you know, I don't know, that cabin in like the Adirondacks

01:28:36.900 now with her husband, Timothy Busfield, who's of Hollywood as well.

01:28:40.820 And I'm like, good for her.

01:28:41.720 I bet it's I mean, I can feel it news, but not to the extent these Hollywood actresses

01:28:45.480 get it.

01:28:46.660 No, I can't even imagine.

01:28:49.440 I mean, it's too much.

01:28:50.600 I think like especially with comedy, the good news is the older, the fatter, the more

01:28:55.700 inappropriate you are, the longer your career is going to last.

01:28:59.020 And, you know, when I was a young comedian, I've been doing this for 20 years and I started

01:29:04.060 when nobody wanted to hear women say a goddamn thing.

01:29:07.720 So I would go up and I would do every gig.

01:29:10.320 I mean, I did.

01:29:11.760 I did gentlemen's clubs.

01:29:13.560 I did Afghanistan just to get stage time.

01:29:16.320 Wow.

01:29:16.580 And I yeah, I mean, look, I'm I'm very pro troops.

01:29:20.140 I entertain.

01:29:20.800 I loved I won't do it now because I have children, but I did a lot of stuff.

01:29:23.580 I went to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Dubai, you name it.

01:29:27.800 Oh, that's awesome.

01:29:29.460 Yeah, it was so it was life changing.

01:29:31.300 And especially to come back as a civilian and see people complaining about everyday life.

01:29:35.900 And you're like, oh, no, that's exactly right.

01:29:41.420 So I think that's great.

01:29:42.140 You did all that.

01:29:42.860 I had no idea.

01:29:43.900 And it must have been tough.

01:29:45.040 I mean, we had like Joan Rivers, but you didn't have that many role models to sort of show

01:29:50.000 you how it's done.

01:29:51.500 I didn't.

01:29:52.380 But you know, it's funny.

01:29:53.360 And I and I know that representation is a big thing right now.

01:29:56.160 And I'm I think it's cool.

01:29:57.440 It's great.

01:29:58.480 I didn't care.

01:29:59.700 I my heroes could be male, female.

01:30:02.860 They could be cartoons.

01:30:04.220 They could be whatever.

01:30:05.460 I identified with the spirit of what they were doing.

01:30:09.160 So, yeah, there weren't many role models.

01:30:11.240 But so what?

01:30:12.620 I love it.

01:30:13.240 Were you funny?

01:30:14.540 Were you always funny?

01:30:15.640 Like, you came out of the womb that way?

01:30:17.800 I don't know.

01:30:18.420 I think I was always mischievous.

01:30:20.440 I think I wanted to shit mix.

01:30:23.340 Kind of like you.

01:30:24.180 I imagine you have a similar thing where you're like, I don't know what it is, but I'm going

01:30:28.540 to mix shit up.

01:30:29.660 And I loved filthy jokes.

01:30:31.520 And I would memorize truly tasteless joke books.

01:30:33.760 I don't know if you remember those from the 80s.

01:30:35.600 My dad had them in the bathroom and I would memorize them.

01:30:38.720 I didn't even understand the references or what was what, but I love telling them at

01:30:43.460 the lunch tables at school and making people laugh.

01:30:45.880 And there's some subversion in it.

01:30:47.840 I think it's rebellion.

01:30:49.180 I think I was getting back at somebody.

01:30:50.920 Mommy, daddy.

01:30:51.620 I don't know.

01:30:52.840 But my first 20 years were spent telling jokes to men in the front row whose arms were folded.

01:30:58.100 And that was great in a way because like I had to win them over and get really good

01:31:02.100 at what I what I do.

01:31:03.500 And then now these younger boys, because they grow up on podcasts and they grow up watching

01:31:07.840 people like you and me talk, it's normal and it's so much easier.

01:31:11.520 And thank God for that.

01:31:12.900 I guess that's good stuff.

01:31:14.520 Forgive me, but I have to ask, do you watch Mrs.

01:31:16.660 Maisel?

01:31:17.740 I did.

01:31:18.460 Yeah, the first season.

01:31:19.760 And then when I was like, what?

01:31:21.320 This bitch is friends with Lenny Bruce and now she's on private jets.

01:31:24.220 Like to me, I get like, oh, that's not how the comedy business works.

01:31:27.860 Yeah.

01:31:28.080 Like you don't go from like open mics to private jets.

01:31:31.300 Years.

01:31:32.440 I'm sure that's true.

01:31:33.580 I liked it.

01:31:34.540 Like I like the sets and I love Tony Shalhoub, right?

01:31:38.400 He's so great, too.

01:31:39.840 But I didn't find her jokes funny.

01:31:43.620 She's like, I listen to you.

01:31:44.760 I laugh out loud every two seconds.

01:31:46.480 I never laughed out loud.

01:31:47.660 Her jokes like this is how did this make it on TV?

01:31:49.960 I'll tell you why, Megyn Kelly.

01:31:51.880 I'll tell you why.

01:31:53.020 Because TV writers don't do live audiences.

01:31:57.120 Stand up comedians are the goddamn Marines of show business.

01:32:00.700 We're the front.

01:32:01.460 We go we go up.

01:32:02.160 You know what I'm saying?

01:32:03.240 Like they call comedy writers indoor cats because they've never been out into the wild.

01:32:09.980 So comedic actors are different than stand ups.

01:32:13.260 You put me in any city and any place and I can make people laugh.

01:32:16.720 That's the difference between it.

01:32:18.660 What a gift that I mean.

01:32:20.440 And do you see any signs of, you know, comedic genius in your kids since they're the children

01:32:24.560 of two comedians?

01:32:25.440 They've got double the trouble there.

01:32:26.660 Yeah, so my three-year-old insists on us calling him.

01:32:31.240 We can't call him Julian, which is his birth name that we gave him.

01:32:33.960 We have to call him Sir or Teacher.

01:32:38.460 Did your kids invent names for themselves?

01:32:43.360 I'm always like, are my kids mental patients?

01:32:45.220 Are they psychos?

01:32:46.280 My husband for a while was going through like we watched some, I don't know, some some like

01:32:50.440 period piece where he was like, I would like to be referred to as your Royal Highness or

01:32:54.180 something.

01:32:54.460 I can't remember what it was.

01:32:55.400 Like keep dreaming, Duggar.

01:32:57.420 Okay, we'll work on that.

01:32:58.680 Or whenever he watches any sort of a period piece, he slips into that kind of talk, you

01:33:02.380 know, for a while.

01:33:03.100 Or, oh no, the best is Ten Commandments.

01:33:05.320 Well, every day we watch Ten Commandments every year around Easter.

01:33:07.540 And for like a week, I'll hear Duggar with like, you bring a warm smile with your cool

01:33:12.700 water.

01:33:16.320 What's going on?

01:33:18.140 You're not Moses.

01:33:22.120 I love that.

01:33:23.000 I love period piece things.

01:33:24.920 I'm big into the Tudors.

01:33:27.180 Me too.

01:33:28.680 Wait, the Tudors, though, is that the one trying to think?

01:33:32.300 Yes.

01:33:32.640 Not the not the follow up, which wasn't as good.

01:33:35.080 The Tudors was good.

01:33:36.440 Who stars in that?

01:33:37.980 Well, it was a while ago.

01:33:39.820 So Henry Cavill is in there and he's the hottest man on the planet.

01:33:44.040 He's very attractive.

01:33:46.060 And then for Henry, they chose the fayest, most effeminate actor.

01:33:51.660 Look him up, Nadal.

01:33:52.900 What's his name?

01:33:54.260 He's really great.

01:33:55.260 He's a British guy, but he's like very fay.

01:33:58.560 It came out a while ago, right?

01:34:00.180 Are we talking about the same?

01:34:01.520 The Tudors.

01:34:02.000 It was a while ago.

01:34:02.580 And then they wrote another one that wasn't as popular.

01:34:05.080 Who is that guy?

01:34:06.100 Why is it not coming to me?

01:34:07.700 Say it to me.

01:34:08.780 Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.

01:34:10.720 Yes.

01:34:11.080 Yes.

01:34:12.280 Thank you, Steve Krakauer.

01:34:13.760 But he's still, he's hot.

01:34:15.580 He was hot.

01:34:16.480 But there was a lot of like, yeah, there was a lot like jerking off into the towel.

01:34:20.800 I didn't need to like, they went places where I was like, I don't need to know Henry this

01:34:24.300 as well.

01:34:27.560 I know.

01:34:28.500 They always start those cable shows with like sex in the opening.

01:34:33.660 Like, I don't, I don't know.

01:34:35.080 Do I, I'm not, obviously if you're into the medieval thing, like, is it, is it a dick

01:34:40.600 thing you need to the top?

01:34:41.480 I don't know.

01:34:42.240 Yeah.

01:34:42.540 I don't know either.

01:34:43.140 But I think, were there like some gay love scenes with him where I was like, I don't

01:34:47.360 remember reading about this.

01:34:48.560 Is this a woke thing?

01:34:49.540 Do we need everyone to be gay or okay?

01:34:53.320 My, my favorite was Halston.

01:34:56.080 Have you seen Halston?

01:34:57.180 No.

01:34:57.560 Is that worthwhile?

01:34:58.980 Yeah.

01:34:59.380 So I watched it when I broke my ankle last year and that I, I loved it.

01:35:03.960 And, um, but yeah, there was a lot of gratuitous, um, scenes of homosexual sex.

01:35:10.280 And I'm like, do we really need to, do we really, but it inspired me to buy those big

01:35:14.320 black sunglasses.

01:35:15.260 I wore those for a year.

01:35:16.620 So that was worth it.

01:35:18.280 I do love that.

01:35:19.400 That Halston style to say it's a classic and elegant makes you feel like you want to feel

01:35:23.840 all right now forget that though.

01:35:25.280 Don't watch Tudors and don't watch Halston.

01:35:27.640 You got to watch Christina.

01:35:29.020 Check out her Netflix special.

01:35:31.060 You're doing something with Amy Schumer.

01:35:33.140 What?

01:35:33.280 It's not with Amy Schumer.

01:35:34.460 It's kind of mocking Amy Schumer.

01:35:36.300 What's the name of that?

01:35:36.840 No, no, no, no, no, it is Amy Schumer.

01:35:38.560 So she hosted.

01:35:40.280 I couldn't tell from the name.

01:35:42.440 No, she's sweet.

01:35:43.300 It's a, it's a Amy Schumer's parental advisory.

01:35:45.660 So it's like a few comics talking about parenting.

01:35:49.360 It's, it's quite lovely.

01:35:50.620 And it's going to come out, I think this weekend.

01:35:52.780 Okay.

01:35:53.140 So we do like that.

01:35:54.000 Good, good.
