PERFECT THING TO ORDER AFTER YOU FINISH SMOKING A A SUPER BOWL

*
WELL, AS I MENTIONED, LAST NIGHT WAS PRESIDENT BIDEN'S
STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS AND I SAW A POLL THAT SAID 72% OF PEOPLE RESPONDED FAVORABLY
TO HIS SPEECH. THAT'S AMAZING WE CAN'T EVEN GET 72% OF
AMERICANS TO AGREE ON WHAT AN M & M SHOULD WEAR. [ LAUGHTER ]
BIDEN'S SPEECH WAS PASSIONATE AND ENERGETIC. WE BASICALLY WENT FROM DECAF
GREEN TEA TO MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED. [ LAUGHTER ]
AT ONE POINT IN HIS SPEECH, BIDEN SAID, "COVID NO LONGER CONTROLS OUR LIVES."
HE WAS LIKE, "NOW THAT HONOR BELONGS TO TIKTOK. [ LAUGHTER ]
BIDEN ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE STRONG JOBS MARKET HE SAID PEOPLE ARE WORKING AS
BANKERS, REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS, DANCERS, PHILANTHROPISTS, BROADWAY
PRODUCERS, AND THAT'S JUST GEORGE SANTOS. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
A LOT OF JOBS. WELL, LISTEN TO THIS SOME PEOPLE, INCLUDING
PRESIDENT TRUMP, COMPLAINED THAT DURING HIS SPEECH, BIDEN SAID THE WORD "FOLKS" TOO MUCH
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS
LOOK FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS, FOLKS. >> Jimmy: YEAH, HE DOES SAY
"FOLKS" A LOT. BUT BIDEN ALSO SAYS ANOTHER PHRASE A LOT TOO
LISTEN TO THIS
>> FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE
JOB. FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE JOB, FINISH THE JOB
>> Jimmy: YEAH [ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW WHAT, I FEEL LIKE
THOSE MIGHT SOUND PRETTY GOOD TOGETHER THAT'S RIGHT
IT'S TIME FOR A "STATE OF THE UNION REMIX.
* FOLKS FOLKS FINISH THE JO
FOLKS FOLKS FINISH THE JOB FOLKS FOLKS * * FOLKS FOLKS
FINISH THE JOB * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: MEANWHILE, BIDEN HAD
TO DEAL WITH SOME INTERRUPTIONS DURING HIS SPEECH BECAUSE REPUBLICANS SPENT A GOOD BIT OF
THE ADDRESS BOOING AND HECKLING HIM. YEP, THINGS GOT PRETTY WILD.
AND ONE OF THE LOUDEST HECKLERS OF THE NIGHT WAS CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE
HERE SHE IS YELLING AT BIDEN FROM HER SEAT. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
IT WAS A BUSY NIGHT FROM MARJORIE SHE WENT RIGHT FROM THE STATE
OF THE UNION TO GETTING HER 102nd DALMATIAN. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
OF COURSE, THROUGHOUT THE ADDRESS, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WAS STANDING AND
CHEERING BEHIND BIDEN WHILE KEVIN McCARTHY WASN'T. IT MADE FOR A VERY INTERESTING
PICTURE. CHECK THIS OUT YEAH, LOOK AT THEM
[ LAUGHTER ] KAMALA LOOKS LIKE J.LO AT THE GRAMMYS.
KEVIN LOOKS LIKE BEN AFFLECK AT THE GRAMMYS. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
KAMALA LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOING TO A FANCY VALENTINE'S DAY DINNER
KEVIN LOOKS LIKE HE JUST GOT A A TEXT THAT SAYS, "WE NEED TO TALK."
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE NEXT, KAMALA LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST MADE EYE CONTACT WITH
BONO KEVIN LOOKS LIKE HE JUST MADE EYE CONTACT WITH GEORGE SANTOS
[ APPLAUSE ] NEXT, KAMALA LOOKS LIKE SHE'S AT MARDI GRAS.
KEVIN LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON THE FLIGHT HOME AFTER MARDI GRAS [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
NEXT UP, KAMALA LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST GOT TICKETS TO THE SUPER BOWL
KEVIN LOOKS LIKE HE JUST GOT TICKETS ON SOUTHWEST [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
AND FINALLY, KAMALA LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST SAW THE LATEST JOBS NUMBERS.
KEVIN LOOKS LIKE HE JUST SAW THE PRICE OF EGGS. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
THERE YOU HAVE IT. DIFFERENT VIBES THERE. WELL, DID YOU SEE THIS
LAST NIGHT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN AND SECOND
GENTLEMAN DOUG EMHOFF GREETED EACH OTHER IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS, THIS IS
REAL HERE IT IS
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: JOE WASN'T KIDDING COVID REALLY NO LONGER CONTROLS OUR LIVES.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT EXPLAINS WHY THE FIRST LINE OF BIDEN'S SPEECH WAS,
"THE STATE OF OUR UNION IS COMPLICATED. [ LAUGHTER ]
THEN JOE WAS LIKE, "WELL, KAMALA, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET BACK AT THEM."
* BECAUSE OF THAT, AFTER BIDEN'S SPEECH, EVERYONE HAD TO SIT
THROUGH A TWO-HOUR RESPECT IN THE WORKPLACE MEETING. [ LAUGHTER ]
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THEIR FAULT. THEY HAD TO DO IT. I MEAN, IT MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU
SEE THE FULL CONTEXT LOOK *
* KISS ME OUT OF THE BEARDED BARLE NIGHTLY BESIDE THE
GREEN, GREEN GRASS * * SWING, SWIN SWING THE SPINNING STE
YOU WEAR THOSE SHOES AND I WILL WEAR THAT DRESS * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: ANOTHER BIG MOMENT FROM THE NIGHT WAS A TENSE EXCHANGE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR
BETWEEN SENATOR MITT ROMNEY AND GEORGE SANTOS. AFTERWARDS, ROMNEY SAID THEY
TOLD SANTOS, "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE." THEN SANTOS SAID, "YOU CAN'T
TALK TO ME LIKE THAT I'M THE PRESIDENT. [ LAUGHTER ]
SERIOUSLY, YOU KNOW HOW AWFUL YOU HAVE TO BE TO TURN MITT ROMNEY INTO THE BOUNCER
FROM "ROADHOUSE" [ LAUGHTER ] ALSO, I READ THAT THIS YEAR, AT
LEAST 23 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED THE STATE OF THE UNION THAT'S GOOD, YEAH.
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN FOR DEMOCRACY WHEN THE STATE OF THE UNION GETS AS MANY VIEWS AS THE
TRAILER FOR "MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE. [ LAUGHTER ]
EVERYONE, SWITCHING GEARS, EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS LAST NIGHT LeBRON JAMES MADE
NBA HISTORY BY BREAKING KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR'S ALL-TIME SCORING RECORD

AARON RODGERS SAID THAT HE WILL MAKE A DECISION ON HIS NFL FUTURE AFTER GOING ON
A DARKNESS RETREAT, WHICH WILL CONSIST OF HIM SITTING ALONE IN TOTAL DARKNESS FOR FOUR DAYS

THAT MEANS SIX MORE SEASONS ON THE PACKERS. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
SOME BUSINESS NEWS BED BATH AND BEYOND IS STRUGGLE TO STAY IN BUSINESS, AND THEY

WITH ALL THESE -- LOOK AT THIS >> IT WAS SO CRAZY OH, MY GOSH.
>> Jimmy: JUST GENERATIONS - >> I MEAN, YOU GOT L YOU GOT PUBLIC ENEMY
YOU KNOW -- THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE ON THIS STAGE WHO, WITHOUT THEM, I WOULD NOT BE
HERE LIKE JUST MELLE MEL, GRANDMASTER FLASH, THE FURIOUS
FIVE LIKE, YOU KNOW - * DON'T PUSH ME
CUZ I'M CLOSE -- * COME ON NOW. LIKE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
RECORD AND I REMEMBER BEING, LIKE, 15 IN LATIN QUARTERS WATCHING
MELLE MEL ON THE STAGE, RHYMING FOR 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT. AND THEN, KRS-ONE TRYING TO GET
THE MIC FROM HIM AND LIKE, THIS IS HIP HOP HISTORY.
LIKE, I WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING IF PUBLIC ENEMY DIDN'T TAKE ME OUT ON TOUR.
LIKE, I WAS A BABY ACT ON THEIR TOUR >> Jimmy: HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN
YOU WERE ON TOUR - >> I WAS, LIKE, 17, 18 YEARS OLD.
I HAD ONE RECORD OUT MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN >> Jimmy: THAT WERE THEY LIKE?
>> THEY WERE LIKE UNCLES HONESTLY, SOME PEOPLE ARE SELFISH IN THIS BUSINESS, AS WE
KNOW THEY WERE NOT THAT THEY WANTED TO SHARE THE
INFORMATION. TEACH US 'CAUSE THEY KNOW WE DIDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING YOU KNOW, SO, INSTEAD OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, KEEPING IT ALL TO
THEMSELVES, THEY SHOWED US HOW TO MOVE AND SHAKE ON THE ROAD. HOW TO KIND OF PREPARE
OURSELVES. WHERE TO BE ON THE STAGE HOW TO USE AND HOLD THE MICS
AND HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE PROMOTERS BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS TRICKY
AND REALLY, LIKE, HELPED US TO LEARN SO THAT WE COULD GROW AND START OUR OWN BUSINESSES
BECAUSE WE'RE ALL LITTLE, TINY BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, AT THE TIME
>> Jimmy: WHO SAID TO YOU SOMETHING LIKE, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD A DRUM SET
>> OH, THAT WAS METHOD MAN YO, METHOD REMEMBERS EVERYTHING

PUBLIC ENEMY, MATTER OF FACT AND YOU HAD A DRUMMER. AND NOBODY ELSE HAD A DRUMMER.
AND I WAS LIKE, "YEAH, I HAD A A DRUMMER. >> Jimmy: YOU WANTED THAT LIVE
ELEMENT. >> I WANTED THAT VIBE. I WANTED TO ADD ON TO IT
AND NOBODY WAS DOING IT. AND THEN, I TOOK THE FUGEES OUT ON THEIR FIRST TOUR.
FUGEES WENT WAY BEYOND A A DRUMMER. LIKE, THE FUGEES WAS LIKE,
"OKAY, WE CAN DO THAT. WATCH THIS." AND THEY REALLY WENT CRAZY
SO, LIKE, WE ALL HAVE SHARED THINGS WITH EACH OTHER THAT HAVE TAKEN THIS HIP HOP THING
TO A WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL >> Jimmy: A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. DID IT REMIND YOU OF WHEN YOU
WON A GRAMMY >> WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, I WASN'T THERE WHEN I WON MY

FIRST RAP FEMALE SOLO PERFORMANCE. >> Jimmy: I MEAN, COME ON.
ABSOLUTELY [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> BUT EVEN THEN -

SO, EVEN THAT SHOWS YOU HOW THE GRAMMYS HAVE EVOLVED BECAUSE RAP WAS NOT EVEN A TELEVISED
CATEGORY CAN YOU IMAGINE? LIKE, IT WASN'T EVEN -- NONE OF
IT WAS EVEN ON TV. IT WAS LIKE, IS THIS A FAD IS THIS REAL
SHOULD WE MAKE IT A CATEGORY LIKE, WE WERE FIGHTING TO BECOME A CATEGORY.
SO, WE ARE WAY BEYOND A CATEGORY NOW AND YOU CAN SEE HIP HOP HAS
INFLUENCED ALL SORTS OF MUSIC. NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, RAP OR R&B BUT IT'S ALL IN POP MUSIC.
IT'S ALL IN COUNTRY MUSIC. IT'S EVERYWHERE NOW. >> Jimmy: YEAH
YOU KNOW, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS FUN, TOO JAY-Z, HE OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE

FUN IN THAT -- DID YOU SEE HIM >> Jimmy: HE WAS LIKE A LITTLE KID.

LIKE, YO -- HE WAS LIKE, "REMEMBER US IN MARS, THESE LITTLE CLUBS?"
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL -- 'CAUSE WE -- I MEAN, NONE OF US HAD -- WE COME FROM, LIKE,
NOTHING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND THEN WE GOT THIS MUSIC THAT HAS TAKEN US EVERYWHERE.
