[claps] You live independently, right Adam? [laughs]

I do.

Uh, well, I'm, I'm married obviously, but I, but I could, I understand where, where you're coming from because, you know, it was hard having no money, especially when you're in, like, early 20s.

Like, one time I, I, I got dumped.

My girlfriend was like, "What if I wanna go out for dinner? What are you gonna do, call your dad to give you money?" And I was like, "No, he can cook."

Yeah

... like, the wedding, like, we were gonna have a destination wedding 'cause nobody shows up, they just send you gifts.

A- and we'd pick a place nobody would go to, you know, like Baghdad or, uh-

college

uh suny binghamton And I was like, I'm going to be, I'm going to wrestle.

And, you know, when I was in high school, I was basically like the star wrestler.

Everyone knew me.

Everyone in the town, everyone in the state knew me.

People in New England knew me as far as prep schools.

Because we used to wrestle Exeter and Andover and Deerfield and Amherst.

Yeah, those guys

Here's a great before and after.

There were a number of references to B- Biden's cognitive abilities, notably calling him a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with poor memory.

[laughs]

Uh, but, but and people are still covering for him.

Like, even Nancy Pelosi was like, "Oh, he did a lot of good things behind the scenes."

Please drink responsibly.

Take you back to November 2022 when Joe Biden turned 80, and he really tried to downplay it.

He knew there was already talk about his age.

He spent that week...

This is how he celebrated.

It was a birthday brunch, Thanksgiving week, between a family trip and h- his granddaughter's wedding.

Very low-key.

Okay.

There's a lot of open land, yeah.

It's freezing, uh, but it is beautiful.

It's a beautiful place, and the fact that they have this guy, I just think that they can't cut their losses.

Sometimes you just gotta cut your loss and be like, "This is not the guy," and run anybody else.

Okay.

'Cause he's like, "It was rough." He's like, "I was all ready to go in there.

It was a tough one." But the crazy part was, like, while the shooting was happening, they're like, "It's, it's, like, still might go on," like the whole...

So I was writing jokes while people were underneath the table.

Why is that so hard?

Well, the thing about, like, why Gutfeld is...

I mean, you think about, like, Gutfeld has probably a third, a fourth, like, a tenth of the writers and budget, uh, probably a hundredth of the budget of Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and we win every night.

Like, they win every night by like...

It's not even close.

And it's, a lot of times, it's like these rules all of a sudden started becoming in comedy.

I don't know who made the rules, but they're like, "You can't punch down," right? And they go, which means, like, you can't make fun of people who are, let's say, doing worse than you.

Yeah.

Because he doesn't take it to his job.... and why is that so hard?

Well, the thing about, like, why Gutfeld! is...

I mean, you think about, like, Gutfeld! has probably a third, a fourth, like, a tenth of the writers and budget, uh, probably a hundredth of the budget of Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and we win every night.

Like, they win every night, by like... it's not even close.

And it's a lot of times, these, like, these rules all of a sudden started to be coming at comedy.

I don't know who made the rules, but they're like, "You can't punch down," right? And they go...

which means, like, you can't make fun of people who are, let's say, doing worse than you.

Yeah.

Even an American?

Anybody.

Anybody.

You're not allowed to, to put your ha- arm around a girl.

You can go to jail.

But, but, um...

And then they wanna take pictures, so it's like, "Yeah." But then I was like, "Can I take a picture of me with, with you guys?" They're like, "No, 'cause we'll be, we'll be recognized." And I'm like, "How are they gonna recognize you? You're covered." They're like, "Oh, trust me.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

... getting the guy that booked you.

"Oh, you're too dirty for this." But once you're there, the audience is like, "Thank you." Like, like, "We can't hear anything on TV." We, "We can't have..." "Thank you for actually not caving in." I got way more than that, than the p- the person that walked out.

You get the people that walk out too.But, um, the UFC saved my, my ass, because Dana White, um, a couple years ago...

I mean, I was always writing for the MMA awards, like all the, the UFC awards, writing the sketches.

And me and Dana got along really well, and Dana was like, "I want you to work for the UFC where you roast fighters, but you don't tell anybody." So, I would make videos for them for, like, every month, like promos, three, four years.

And, and then he produced my comedy special, uh, at the Apex, and then I had, like, a show where I had pitched people to, uh, you know, fighters to tell jokes and I would teach them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then other times, it's, like, easier.

It's, like, in the co- co-...

They'll be like, you know, it's in the topic, um, i- itself.

And then, um, and then I, I'll, like, submit them, and then the next day we have a meeting with, like, me and, like, Joe Mackie and, uh, Gene and Joe DeVito and Greg.

And then Greg will be like, "Okay," and we go through the jokes.

And he'll be like, "All right, need a new punchline for this, need a new punchline for that, need this, need that." And, uh, sometimes it's hard 'cause I'll, I'll, like, give him four different alternative punchlines, uh, and then he'll be like, "All right, need a new one for this." But it's just...

You mean from Los Angeles to San Diego?
