Transcript

00:00:00.000 I had dinner two nights ago in Orlando with Bill Clinton.
00:00:03.700 How's he doing?
00:00:04.880 Fantastic.
00:00:06.340 Fantastic.
00:00:07.500 He was on his way to Jamaica for the hurricane relief.
00:00:12.980 Does he still have the charm?
00:00:14.320 Does he still have the –
00:00:15.320 Oh, listen.
00:00:16.560 Let me tell you.
00:00:17.600 We went to the restaurant at 7.30.
00:00:21.040 We left at 12.30.
00:00:23.600 So they had – I mean, there was nobody in there but us at the end.
00:00:27.200 I brought Terry McAuliffe.
00:00:29.220 He was with him.
00:00:30.380 The old governor of Virginia.
00:00:31.100 Terry McAuliffe.
00:00:31.800 Oh, wow.
00:00:32.220 Okay.
00:00:32.760 And so I go – I said, you all want dessert?
00:00:35.580 So they go, well.
00:00:36.780 And all of a sudden, we get some port and get some dessert, and we close the place.
00:00:40.940 Let me tell you a crazy story about Bill Clinton.
00:00:42.860 He's the first president I shook hands.
00:00:44.440 I was 15 years old.
00:00:45.960 I was working at Haagen-Dazs at Glendale Galleria, and he came down.
00:00:50.020 He was campaigning for something.
00:00:51.520 And I put my hand out, and he shook my hand.
00:00:53.800 I'm like, I just shook Bill Clinton's hand.
00:00:55.880 Last year, we're in New York.
00:00:57.820 Rob, do you have this or no?
00:00:58.960 I'll find it.
00:00:59.220 Last year, we were in New York, and I take my guys to a Yankees game.
00:01:03.360 Well, it's a rain out.
00:01:04.360 I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
00:01:06.080 I'm trying to find out what date it is, if what's-his-name is watching.
00:01:09.320 Maybe text Vinny to see when we went to – what's it called?
00:01:13.900 When we went to New York.
00:01:17.240 So, game ends.
00:01:18.960 Game is canceled because of rain.
00:01:20.620 We said, we go to this place to go, what do you call it, bowling.
00:01:25.160 So, we go to this bowling alley, and I start talking to Vinny Antikrin.
00:01:30.060 Vinny's a comedian guy that you spoke to.
00:01:31.860 I like him.
00:01:32.240 Yeah, he's phenomenal.
00:01:32.960 Everybody loves him.
00:01:33.660 And we're outside, and we're inside Antikrin and Vinny say, if there's one person you would like to interview on the podcast that you would like to speak to, who would it be?
00:01:45.680 I said three names, and the third name is –
00:01:48.500 John Morgan.
00:01:49.840 Who are the other two?
00:01:53.380 I said John Morgan.
00:01:55.260 Let's do four.
00:01:56.240 Yeah, I said John Morgan.
00:01:57.640 I said Putin was one of the names, but I said Bill Clinton.
00:02:02.840 Oh, yeah.
00:02:03.400 You ready for this?
00:02:04.900 Five seconds after I said Bill Clinton, Vinny – I'm looking at Vinny Antikrin this way.
00:02:12.160 They look this way.
00:02:13.000 They say, get the fuck out of here.
00:02:15.020 I said, what do you mean?
00:02:15.800 Look who just walked in.
00:02:16.980 Oh.
00:02:17.660 I look to my right.
00:02:18.900 Bill Clinton just walked in.
00:02:20.460 Serendipity.
00:02:20.960 I walk to the side.
00:02:21.820 The Secret Service says, hey, Patrick, I know who you are.
00:02:24.420 Hang tight.
00:02:24.880 Let him finish up the conversation.
00:02:27.040 We want you to talk to him.
00:02:28.240 So, I go up to him.
00:02:28.980 We had a good 15-minute conversation together.
00:02:31.320 For 30 minutes, he just walked around talking to everybody.
00:02:36.620 At this age, you've been around him.
00:02:39.400 You've been around Biden.
00:02:40.580 You've been around both of them.
00:02:42.300 Does he seem stronger now, even stronger than Biden was the last couple years?
00:02:47.260 It's funny you should say that.
00:02:50.040 Once we got into the port at Chatham's, I said to him, I said, look, you're Trump and Biden's age that they were.
00:03:00.020 I said, let me ask you a question.
00:03:03.780 You know, he's got a tremor in his left hand.
00:03:06.820 And I said, do you think you could be president now?
00:03:11.160 He said, yes.
00:03:13.700 He said, yes, I could do it.
00:03:15.220 He said that last night.
00:03:17.540 Wednesday night.
00:03:18.280 Wednesday night.
00:03:18.720 Wednesday night.
00:03:19.320 And he said, yes.
00:03:21.360 And he said, now, I will tell you, I would have to pace myself a little bit differently.
00:03:27.860 He goes, look, I put in hours.
00:03:29.700 He goes, my staff used to say to me, I'm making less than minimum wage for the hours that I'm putting in as president.
00:03:34.360 He said, I could put in, you know, more than Reagan.
00:03:39.000 But he said, yes.
00:03:41.380 He said, yes, he believed.
00:03:43.500 And let me tell you something.
00:03:44.600 We sat there for, what, five hours?
00:03:46.920 And we could, I mean, we had to finally leave because the staff, you know.
00:03:50.940 Five-hour conversation.
00:03:52.400 Dinner.
00:03:53.180 And he was good.
00:03:53.960 He was flowing.
00:03:54.800 Flowing.
00:03:56.060 Flowing.
00:03:57.140 Funny.
00:03:57.680 Telling all the stories.
00:03:59.100 And I'll tell you what he told me once, years ago.
00:04:01.940 And he's been so good to me.
00:04:03.680 One time I asked him, we're headed to an event.
00:04:06.780 I said, give me one piece of advice.
00:04:08.620 Like you asked me a piece of advice.
00:04:09.760 I said, give me one piece of advice.
00:04:11.860 He said, okay.
00:04:12.800 Whether it's business or politics, this is going to go to your story.
00:04:16.440 He said, every time you meet somebody, do this.
00:04:21.840 Treat them like there's an election tomorrow and you're running and they're voting.
00:04:27.880 Treat everybody like that.
00:04:29.300 He says, I call that one at a time.
00:04:32.300 So what you saw that day was Bill Clinton one at a time.
00:04:37.920 Got to give him respect for that.
00:04:39.380 Yes.
00:04:39.860 I mean, now what would you say about his wife, Hillary?
00:04:43.900 Well.
00:04:44.480 The relationship with her versus the relationship with Bill.
00:04:47.180 My relationship with Hillary?
00:04:48.720 Well, look.
00:04:49.500 I mean, you know, much closer to Bill.
00:04:53.500 Got it.
00:04:53.900 Much closer to Bill.
00:04:54.920 But look, you know, I've known him forever and ever.
00:04:58.060 Listen, when he was president, I was at the White House all the time.
00:05:01.300 I was at the best dinners.
00:05:02.540 I was up in the, you know, I mean, I had the time of my life.
00:05:05.720 I mean, during the pandemic, you know, we were like pen pals and on the phone at night because
00:05:09.360 everybody was holed up.
00:05:10.880 He's been so good to me.
00:05:13.560 And the interesting thing about it, my Republican friends, you know what they say?
00:05:18.140 I could, now that's somebody I could still vote for, Bill Clinton.
00:05:22.800 Republicans are good with Bill Clinton.
00:05:25.300 No, this is it, Rob.
00:05:26.980 Good for you for finding it.
00:05:28.120 Vinny sent it to me.
00:05:28.920 Oh, press play?
00:05:30.580 Yeah, this was a bowling alley without my wife.
00:05:32.860 There you go.
00:05:33.380 Look at that thing.
00:05:33.860 It was a fish shirt with a blue blazer and a Ukraine phone.
00:05:38.160 You can pause it right there.
00:05:39.040 He literally stayed like that, John.
00:05:41.120 That's one at a time.
00:05:43.280 That's what I just said.
00:05:44.400 Yeah.
00:05:44.740 No, he's phenomenal in that area.
00:05:46.100 I read a story one time about when he first ran for office, he had the 20,000.
00:05:52.260 Now, this is a second, third story to me.
00:05:55.400 So it's not direct from him is he had 20,000 names that he had collected over the years.
00:06:03.380 He sent cards to all of them saying he would like their support to run for office.
00:06:07.760 And then boom, he goes and beats senior.
00:06:10.700 Is he after senior?
00:06:12.000 Yeah, he beat senior because Ross Perot, that's the Ross Perot, Pro George was senior, himself and Ross Perot.
00:06:20.340 And that debate, the way he handled that debate with the lady, the African-American lady asked the question, so how does the national debt affect, how does it affect you?
00:06:30.600 He crosses his arms and he listens to her and he goes into his message that he gives.
00:06:35.460 And by the way, when he left office, that's the last time we had a balanced budget and a surplus.
00:06:43.080 He used to say this when we go to do speeches, he'd say, vote for a Democrat and live like a Republican.
00:06:51.020 That's a Harry Truman quote.
00:06:52.900 But that's, he was.
00:06:54.240 What does that mean?
00:06:54.740 Well, his deal was this, everybody thinks you got to, that prosperity comes through the Republican Party.
00:07:01.540 His, Harry Truman's point was this, when you look at big hunks of America where prosperity was really pretty good, Bill Clinton's eight years wasn't bad.
00:07:12.740 No, but Bill Clinton today wouldn't be a today's Democrat.
00:07:15.480 No.
00:07:16.000 You know that.
00:07:16.640 No, no, when, when Hillary was running, when Hillary was running, I was like going crazy because I'm like, what are you doing?
00:07:25.240 You got to fight this, this, this whole socialist movement.
00:07:29.520 So I call Robbie Mook up.
00:07:31.240 I said, Robbie, we got, you got to hit back on socialism.
00:07:34.700 And he said, they were getting ready to do the, the caucuses in Iowa.
00:07:39.160 He says, John, the Des Moines Register that has that 43% of all caucus goers identify themselves as socialist.
00:07:50.480 Wow.
00:07:51.540 And so I said, well, forget I called.
00:07:54.580 But no, he wouldn't, he, he, he would have trouble navigating inside of the Democratic Party today.
00:08:02.720 The FLB shoes, by the way, I am officially on, let me see this.
00:08:07.240 I'm on day 57 out of 58 that I've worn these shoes.
00:08:11.020 Love wearing these shoes every single day.
00:08:13.500 I think Vinny's got it on.
00:08:14.980 The other night we went to dinner.
00:08:16.760 Vinny was wearing this, this, uh, black pants, white shirt with the FLB shoes.
00:08:23.040 We walk into the restaurant, seven girls lined up waiting to meet with Vinny.
00:08:27.820 One girl was crying.
00:08:28.740 She was crying.
00:08:29.420 She was shaking.
00:08:30.060 She was crying.
00:08:30.560 She was shaking.
00:08:31.000 The shoes.
00:08:31.800 I was like, I can't.
00:08:32.580 Are you Ringo Starr?
00:08:33.740 So for those of you guys that are asking about getting the shoes before Christmas for your husband or your sons or your friend, this is what you want to be thinking about.

00:09:16.780 Once you put them on, just go read the reviews with people writing reviews when they bought them.
00:09:22.220 Once you put them on, you'll realize why this has become as hot of an item for us as we expected it.
00:09:29.140 It took us two years to do this.
00:09:30.260 Rob, if you want to play the clip on that, we'll get into the stories.
00:09:32.660 Here's the FLB shoes.
00:09:33.680 Go for it.
00:09:34.100 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast.
00:09:42.040 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:09:44.020 We chose neither.
00:09:45.600 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:09:47.960 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:09:50.560 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:09:53.400 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step.
