Matt Friend joins Natasha for a live next-level conversation ... which, in reality, is a series of next-level impressions. The 26-year-old comedian gives us a real-life example of his "Trump Tourettes" and explains how "you can say anything you want in Trump’s voice and not get canceled." Plus, Matt dishes on some of his most fun celebrity moments and peels back the curtain to show us who he really is (we think?!)

All right, we're live, live on Talking With Natasha with Matt Friend
0:05
So excited to be here. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming on. Hey, I saw you a year ago on 6 o'clock news
0:12
I think you just done or about to do the White House Correspondents Dinner
0:16
And ever since then, I see you touring nationwide. Like, you really blew up
0:21
It's been a pretty wild year and past couple years, but particularly since that moment last year
0:27
had the opportunity to perform. It was me and Colin Joes. So Colin, sorry, Colin was the headliner
0:33
And then I got up in the middle of the room and did three minutes of topical political stuff
0:39
and impressions. And it was so crazy. So like- It was insane
0:43
To an audience of politicians and reporters was- Throughout the, on both sides of the aisle
0:48
I mean, it was everybody ranging from Laura Trump to like Antony Blinken. So the crowd is impossible
0:53
because nobody wants to be caught on camera laughing at a joke that might get them in trouble
0:58
But I did Obama, Trump, Bernie, and Mitch McConnell impressions. And the McConnell saved me because it cut away to Scarlett Johansson
1:07
And everybody had to start laughing when I just went, it's great to be here at this dinner
1:15
It's really thrilling. Just stopped functioning completely. So when I do that, you have to laugh
1:21
Actually, Biden was 30 feet away from me. And I said, I'm going to kill this dinner harder than Christy Noem killed the puppies
1:28
OK. And then people are like, oh, my God, that's so that's too much
1:33
And I'm thinking this is the time. This is what's crazy about society now. I'm just repeating the news
1:38
I'm like just repeating exactly what Trump is saying. And people say, are you making fun of the president
1:44
I'm like, I'm just repeating exactly what he just did. Sorry that Trump is the one posting AI generated photos of himself as the pope
1:51
What am I supposed to do? not take that and run with it as a comedian it's like what did you think about jd vance meeting
1:56
pope well the pope's alive which is shocking um but uh that was interesting yeah i mean the body
2:03
language signaled that the pope does not like him really that's what the body language signaled to
2:08
he kind of shoot him away yeah um but jd uh i don't know uh he was a little lighter on the
2:13
eyeliner this time uh but um he uh yeah he's he's good he's looking good out there yeah it was crazy
2:20
He got a Bears jersey, which I liked because I'm from Chicago. I'm from Chicago. Are you going to the Knicks game tonight
2:25
I'm not going to the Knicks game. I'm a Bulls fan. I have shows tonight, but I wish them luck
2:31
I do. Boy, Timothy Chalme is probably going to be front row. Timothy's going to be there. He's hoping it's a banger of a game
2:36
He's going to go bang Kylie after. It's going to be incredible. But, yeah, he is winning life, isn't he
2:45
It is unbelievable. He's doing great. You know, some say that you're the Kylie of local Fox, actually. Really? Yeah
2:49
Yeah. Give it up for the host, everybody. Clap it up. Thanks, guys
2:53
But, you know, Timothy, he is on a winning streak, except for Oscars
2:57
But he does win. He is killing. Did you watch his movie? A complete unknown. Of course I did, yeah
3:02
He was great. We've got people who are also commenting on our YouTube
3:05
Someone asked Carlo Gamino. Yes. What's your favorite impression? Thank you, Carlo Gamino of the crime family
3:15
Carlo Gamino, organized crime. Carlo, that's a great question My favorite impression
3:21
I like to do obscure business leaders That you wouldn't think I could do an impression of
3:26
Like I do Tim Cook during an Apple keynote Yes So he's like, good morning Cupertino
3:32
It's thrilling to be here today We have a brand new product
3:36
I don't know, he's just I was doing Bill Gates Sounds like Kermit the Frog
3:41
So he's like, well it's great to be here On Fox promoting different projects and really wondering why are there so many people without vaccines
3:52
You know, like I was doing Warren Buffett. He just retired. So I just tap dance to work every day
3:59
And now that's what he sounds like. That's, I'm sure, the killer impression for people below the age of 30
4:05
They love to hear that. Natasha's like, I'm turning 31 next week
4:09
Please do your Warren Buffett. How do you get your mind into doing an impression
4:14
I imagine myself naked. Now, I don't know. I've just been doing it since I was a kid
4:21
And since I was like four years old, I did Austin Powers. And that's what got me obsessed with comedy
4:26
And I just would mimic my grandfather and teachers and people around me
4:31
And then it just kind of has become a part of my personality. Austin Powers
4:35
Yeah, Dr. Evil, all those guys. And at what point, because you started to make these TikTok videos
4:41
It's when you run into the celebrities on the street, and then you do the impression to them
4:46
Because I remember watching you on Howard Stern. Right, right. That's a fun one. Right. Let me ask you this
4:50
So, Natasha, right. Here's what I want to know. Right. You got your own show. You're a good-looking woman
4:55
Right. You're in New York. A man lining up for you. Tell me, Robin, you see how she looks
5:01
A man lining up to be on your show. Are they asking you out on dates? Right, right
5:05
Right. She's not answering the question. Right. Now, that was a Howard. I flipped the interview on you
5:10
Yeah. But yeah, Howard, I'm into my hour of stand-up. I talk about these interactions
5:15
So I met Andy Cohen, John Oliver, Sebastian Maniscalco, Will Arnett. And I'm in all these different areas and worlds
5:25
So there's these crazy celebrity encounters that I have, and those are woven into my stand-up
5:30
What's the craziest celebrity encounter just random on the street of New York
5:35
On the street of New York? I think the Andy Cohen one was really funny
5:39
where he I met him downtown Manhattan on the sidewalk, which is how 90 percent of gay hookup stories begin
5:45
And then Andy looked at me and goes, you're the guy who does me. Right
5:51
And I thought that's definitely not the first time Andy Cohen has said that to a guy on the sidewalk
5:56
Like, let's make a little video. You're cute. Yeah. So that was fun
6:00
And then the craziest one, I think, was meeting Obama. Yeah. Sorry, Fox
6:04
But meeting Obama was crazy. I was in a room with him. uh i had the opportunity to meet him last year and then i it was surreal um it was insane i
6:16
like his team reached it almost felt like it was a prank like it couldn't be real
6:20
and then i meet him he's like standing in this room there's a few other people
6:24
felt like i was hallucinating yeah and i just acted out his greatest hits next to him i was
6:29
totally prepared so i look at him he's standing next to me and i go uh hey everybody this is
6:34
Barack Obama and I am here with and he smiles and goes actually I'm Barack Obama and then I
6:42
proceeded and I I sang amazing grace next I was like amazing grace how sweet the sight like he
6:51
couldn't stop laughing and then I'm out with an album I would like to and then not come out like
6:56
a Lindsey Graham you mean like with an album okay we're still waiting for that right Lindsey
7:00
You going to make it happen, folks? That was my Trump Tourette's, by the way
7:04
It comes out of nowhere. I'll come back to that in a moment
7:08
And then with Obama, I debated him as Trump. And I said, Barack, I have a much better golf game than you, actually
7:16
And he said, well, Donald, how about those crowd sizes, okay? I still got a bigger crowd size
7:22
So that was fun. You should have debated Biden as Trump. I know, I know
7:27
That's a sad subject there. I know. Yeah. So you're doing stand-up now
7:33
So you've been doing this for a couple years. Yeah. How much of that are you doing the impression
7:38
So it's an hour show, tickets at madfriend.com. Yes. And you're here tonight
7:44
Yeah, I'm doing a show tonight in New York at the Stand Comedy Club. Tickets on my website
7:49
And feet pics is a separate tab. And I'll talk dirty to you for an extra fee
7:56
As Donald Trump. Can you imagine? Well that in my stand hour actually But I going to build a wall around this ass honestly But yeah so it probably 40 impressions and that kind of woven in through these stories of meeting these different people and experiences I had and then
8:15
other material is just like dating in my 20s being single in New York and
8:21
just you know going through life and observational political wait how is that going? Do
8:27
girls recognize you on the street? Do they make you do impressions during a date? I mean do guys
8:32
recognize you from the local news? I mean sometimes or girls don't want to don't want to infer anything i have a lot of girls recognize i'm
8:38
sure they do i get i have a lot of girl girls who who are fans too which is really nice that is nice
8:43
but i'm talking to you about you and your dating life so like don't howard stern me oh my god i just
8:49
did didn't i geez you're so good at this thank you um so let's talk about those guys that recognize
8:54
is that so annoying when people ask you to do impressions no i love it i love it it's a good
8:59
time yeah it's fine yeah yeah how was dating in New York it's it's fun we're
9:03
having a good time out there okay me and Eric Adams you know out at the private
9:08
clubs yeah me Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams absolutely yeah no no it's fun you
9:13
know it's a New York's a crazy place yeah it is a crazy place it's pretty we
9:17
were just talking about that article the West Village girlies well I want to hear
9:22
your take on this you know I feel like every West Village girl is like a Like marketing, PR, something
9:28
Like, you know, Moonlight is an influencer. I can't walk down the sidewalk without a girl shoving her ring light in my face asking me to do a interview
9:41
I don't want to do that shit. I'm going for my walk. I don't want to tell you what makes me confident
9:48
I don't know. Like that's, thank you. That was a little applause. Woo
9:53
That was so good. But, yeah, it happens a lot. When you walk down to New York, everybody shoves their ring light in your face
10:00
Really? Did you see that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where, like, Larry David, like, snaps in half
10:05
Like, somebody is holding out a selfie stick and Larry just grabs it and snaps it in half
10:09
Is that what you feel like doing? Sometimes, yeah. Yeah, it's annoying. I mean, I saw, I was just in Hell's Kitchen over the weekend and saw this girl just, like, in the middle of the sidewalk, sitting down
10:20
It was like a food truck. Yeah. And just doing content. You're right. I was like, who
10:24
What did she look like? On a scale from one to Rosie O'Donnell, was she a model or what did she look like
10:32
Because if she was pretty, that's a different conversation, right? Right. Right
10:37
It's true. That's the Trump Tourette's because you can say anything you want in Trump's voice and not get canceled
10:42
It's unbelievable. I was on a plane last week very upset with my seat because I was sitting next to a pig of a woman, honestly
10:49
She looked like Chris Christie and Rosie had a baby. It was a disaster
10:53
It was terrible. But I didn't say it. Trump said it. So it is completely OK
10:57
Are people like, they're just like, when you do that, random people, they're so like, what's going on right now
11:04
Because I'll close my eyes and listen to you. And I'm like, is that Trump or Matt Brown
11:08
And I'm like, that sounds like Trump. Yeah. I mean, it depends. I can do Tucker
11:12
We are here with local Fox. So I joke on stage. I say, I've never gotten a prostate exam before
11:17
But when I get my first prostate exam, I'm going to make the same noise that Tucker makes when he laughs
11:23
Because it sounds like someone is inserting this Jenga box directly up Tucker Carlson
11:28
Because he'll just be like, good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson. Tonight's subject is Joe Biden a lizard
11:35
And that laugh is striking. He'll be like, should Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky be sentenced to war crimes
11:44
So I don't know where that comes from. But either way, somewhere Mike Pence and Lindsey Graham are licking their nipples, thinking, we'll have what he's having
11:52
Anyways, your producer is having a heart attack in the corner. No, he's laughing
11:57
He's having a ball. He's having a ball. He's having a ball. Just one ball
12:01
Like Lance Armstrong? No, that's not right. They should have had you at this year's White House Correspondents
12:06
Well, I was sitting there. I think it was a huge mistake not to have a comedian there. I really resent that decision
12:11
I hated it. It was very nice. It was cool. It's journalism
12:15
It's important. to be celebrated. I totally agree. But this notion that this
12:20
year is so much more serious than other years and that we, you know, I thought it was weak. I thought
12:26
it was backing down to like a fear of the current administration
12:32
And I think the second we stop being able to laugh at ourselves
12:36
we're in a real danger as a country. This is America. We got to laugh
12:40
It's a joke. Don't you feel like laughter unites people? I do. I do. You're going on MSNBC. You go on Fox News
12:46
I do. I think it's like Bill Maher talks about this. We're all stuck in our own little silo
12:53
Bill went to the White House, right? And Bill said, you know what
12:59
So Donald was actually, I liked him. He was gracious. He was kind
13:05
Everything I thought I was going to hate wasn't there. Okay? He's a monster on the outside, but he's great on the inside, right
13:13
And according to Bill Maher, that's the case. And if that is true, then that means one thing, that Donald Trump is the reverse Ellen DeGeneres
13:22
But, yeah. But I like to talk to multiple people. I think it's challenging for the comedian, for me at least
13:28
If I'm performing in a red state, then I go to a blue state. It's fun to be in these different – like George Carlin talked about comedy
13:35
The job of the comedian is to find where the line is. And that's what I'm working on now
13:39
Yeah. Well, the line. I mean, I think you're actively – where is the line
13:44
the Hunter Biden Don Jr. line. I'm talking like the line, not like a white powdery line. I'm
13:49
talking like the line of comedy. Exactly. Oh, we've got a request. Oh boy, here we go. I thought
13:55
it was about to say Epstein. I was very confused. Can you do Jeff Epstein? Not really. No. Can I do
14:00
a Bianca Peters impression or Bianca Sensori? Jeff Goldblum? Of course I can do Daddy Jeff
14:06
Goldblum. Yes, of course. What happens when I do Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum? G-O-L-D-B-L-U-M
14:12
of course yes the daddiness overtakes me feel very sensual very very zesty yes yes wonderful
14:20
wonderful reporter here very very fun very nice of course yes of course
14:26
i'll give you a scenario i get very straight yes of course you're you're on a scenario
14:33
you're on a date wonderful film 1941 scenario sorry i don't know go ahead yes you're on a date
14:38
in Central Park, things aren't going so well. How do you salvage it, Jeff Goldblum? Well, I like to maybe tickle her feet a little bit
14:44
Yes, of course. Massage her back. Serenade her with an old tune, perhaps a Cole Porter
14:51
You're the top, you're the Coliseum. I don't know. Oh, my God
14:55
So good. That's Goldblum for you, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you've got all these voices
15:00
I think you're looking at me like, what the hell is he doing right now? No, I'm just so impressed
15:04
I'm just trying to figure out who really is Matt Friend and what's his real. Oh, that's a good..
15:08
Oh, here we go, therapist. Here we go. Who is Matt Friend? Well, look, if you'd like to know who I am, you can get tickets to my show, MattFriend.com
15:15
on the road, because this is a big subject. This is what I talk about. Can Matt Friend really be himself
15:21
Does he know who he is? Is he always doing an impression or a voice to escape the reality
15:26
No. No, Natasha. I know who I am. I don't need to be put in an insane asylum
15:31
I know who I am, and that comes out of my stamina. That's good
15:35
Yeah. You come from a loving childhood. I do, actually, yeah. I'm a great loving family
15:40
I do. Fantastic. Yes, yeah. Fantastic. I do because in comedy, it's rare
15:44
I mean, there's the idea of a tragic clown. Right. You got into comedy because something horrible happened to you
15:49
But that's not why I got into it. Why did you get into it? I just, I loved making people laugh
15:54
Yeah. Since I was four years old, I just had that personality. Yeah. You know? Had a photo of Bill Cosby in my childhood room and I said, this is the goal
16:03
This is the goal standard. The hell? my god have you ever been in an audience were like you're not a good time to take a sip of
16:10
my drink now after I mentioned Bill Cosby go ahead prelude free prelude I tell me like is there a time like when you in an audience if you bombing like has that ever happened to you Well I was doing a show last week and then this cruise ship hit the bridge next to where the venue went
16:28
No, I'm kidding. Okay, that's too soon. I have ever been in a show where the audience is bombing
16:34
Yeah, of course. I mean, of course, like, stand-up shows, but I've put myself in these crazy environments
16:40
like I hosted the NHL Awards National Hockey League Award Show which was a crazy room
16:47
it was in Vegas last year and I'm at an interesting place in my career where I'm generating
16:50
these opportunities but I'm not Jimmy Fallon yet so like my level is like I'm still coming up
16:56
there's still a lot of people who don't know who I am I almost just Elon'd there and we'll come back to that later and
17:02
it's a reference to the salute that Elon gave speeches many weeks months ago
17:09
Some said it wasn't a salute. I think it was a salute. But anyways, and then I was in this room, NHL Awards
17:17
and this is my impression of every player in that room reacting to one of my jokes
17:23
This is it. Ready? Here we go. Over their heads. No one was laughing
17:32
and I realized there's nothing like performing in a room full of brain-damaged
17:35
one-toothed Yugoslavian hockey players. That is a lot of fun. Putin's great grandkids are sitting there
17:41
It's a lot of fun. But I like being in those rooms. Like Norm MacDonald is an amazing comedian
17:46
who I'm sure this 30-year-old young woman is a huge fan of
17:52
You're younger than me. That's true. I am. 26. That's true. And Cougar
17:58
And Jesus Christ. But Norm was great at being in rooms, and the audience was like he would know how to challenge them
18:06
and I love that. Yeah. I think it's in those moments where it builds you up
18:10
It does. It does. But ideally, the audiences are laughing. Because my favorite kind of an environment is being in a room
18:17
Like when you were 10 years old in class and you weren't supposed to be laughing and you just uncontrollable laughter
18:22
That's what I hope to generate in my shows. What is your goal? Stomach hurting, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah
18:27
You mentioned like Fallon. Is that, I mean, would you want to host your show? Like when you have a dream, what's your goal? Yeah
18:33
I mean, I have a lot of big goals, like definitely acting
18:37
But I mean, I think the big – I want to be my generation's like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel
18:43
I want to be hosting, you know, political, topical show, hosting the big award shows
18:49
That's what I want to do. How do you incorporate TikTok and just – because that's – when you talk about our generation, that's – or Gen Z
18:56
Yeah. Our generation. Yeah, right. I'm Gen Z, millennial. I'm a millennial cuss. How do I – I mean, I don't think about how to incorporate it
19:03
It's just so natural. Like when I do a show like this, I'll think about what are the 30-second clips that can go viral
19:08
You know, so I mean my career has largely been built as a result. I mean I take advantage of all platforms and all mediums
19:17
But TikTok is just such a part of my generation and how I've come up as a comedian
19:22
Yeah, I mean that's kind of how – Where I do an hour show and then we post content from that show on my pages
19:29
Are there any impressions that you're working on now, like workshopping that you could do for us
19:33
Yeah, in terms of actors, politically, because we're on Fox, I'm working on the JD
19:39
My meemaw and my peepaw would love it. We're not sitting on a couch, though, so I can't do the full experience
19:46
We have two chairs. Mike Johnson. Watching Mike Johnson is like looking at the Book of Mormon
19:52
Right, right. Well, Donald Trump, he's doing a great job. I love him. Hello, my name is Elder Johnson
19:59
Yeah, he looks like he got a lot of ass in college, doesn't he? God. Can you imagine sex with Mike Johnson
20:05
My God. I mean, that has got to be unbelievable. I don't want to. Huh? I don't want to. You can't imagine
20:09
Turn it off like a light switch. Just go click. You're so good at politicians
20:15
Do you tend to gravitate towards politicians? No, I mean, my first ones that blew up on social media were mainly actors
20:21
I was doing like Rami Malek. Yeah. Rami always looks like he's holding in a little dark secret of yours
20:29
It's just, it's so great to be here on Fox. You know, I actually played Freddie Mercury in a little film
20:40
So that's one. I was doing Austin Butler. I met Austin at the Golden Globes
20:45
That's a really good one. Well, he has this thing. He played Elvis, and ever since he played Elvis, he still sounds like Elvis
20:51
He does. So I met him on the carpet, and I'm like, he's like, Hey, it's so great to meet you to this time, and big fan of all your comedy
20:58
Like he wins the Golden Globe. He goes, I want to thank my mom and my dad and Baz Luhrmann
21:05
I'm like, dude, you're from Anaheim. I want him to start singing. If I can dream of a better land where all my brothers go hand in hand
21:14
And I'm like, dude, you are not really Elvis. Singers are fun
21:18
Did you call him out on it? No, no. But we made out after
21:22
No, but the hell? Jesus. It's not true. But no, he's great
21:27
the young actors are fun who else was I doing I have a whole list on my phone here
21:33
I do these talk shows I do athletes is there a certain recipe
21:39
for a perfect impression when you think of someone like oh my god that is someone
21:43
who I really got to sometimes there's just a voice that people recognize or if it's deeper
21:49
that might help is it in the mouth configuration that can happen
21:54
I was doing Jennifer Coolidge I did it with her at the Golden Globes. It was two Jennifers after sipping on a cold drink, and we just went like this
22:06
Oh. Oh, God. Oh, it tastes so good. That's the entire bit
22:18
So, yeah. Wow. Yeah. It's just I'm floored. You're so good. Oh, thank you
22:27
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'll be part of your hype crew before you go on
22:32
Like, let's go Matt. Please. Absolutely. Okay, you're going to Bangor, Maine? Yes, I am
22:37
You're going to Bangor, Maine? I have a lot of dates. Make it to the house. I'm pulling up my dates here
22:41
I've got a bunch of dates. We've got Boston, New York tonight, Bangor, Maine, a lot of shows at MattFriend.com
22:49
Very excited about it. Okay, you're traveling a lot. What are you doing for downtime
22:53
Like, how do you decompress from all this? It's a good question. It's just what's happening right now
23:01
I'm just in the zone. You're go, go, go. I know. This is the time to be hustling
23:06
Yeah. It is the time to be hustling. I don't know. I love it
23:09
I'm excited about what's all about to come. I just stated some pretty big goals earlier
23:17
Headlining Correspondence Center and hosting these shows. You got to work like a maniac
23:23
Unless you're an EPO baby. sadly. Sadly, there's a lot of those. Yeah. Um, has that always been your work ethic or is that
23:32

25:43
Oh, this was fun. Kevin Spacey is at the Cannes Film Festival
25:47
And I wanted him to announce his return as Frank Underwood from House of Cards
25:53
Yes. Oh, come on. You didn't think I'd be gone forever, did you
25:59
Just because I diddled a couple of teenage boys back in the day
26:03
does not mean that I would stay away from the limelight. This Natasha is so uncomfortable right now
26:09
Thinking this was not pre-approved. Either way, Spacey is happy to be back
26:14
And Claire, you look very sexy. Thank you very much. Okay, sorry
26:19
Bernie Sanders. Bernie, yeah. Bernie was at Coachella. Like imagine you're like a 12-year-old, you know, on edibles just trying to watch Charlie XCX
26:28
That's a singer for your viewers. And you're just trying to get excited and then loudly you just hear
26:35
We are living in danger. There is an existential threat facing our �
26:41
Bernie always sounds like he's conducting a very tiny Jewish orchestra with his hands all the time
26:47
Yeah. Your range is just like incredible. Oh, thank you. You're able to do like a Jennifer Coolidge to workshopping even more
26:57
It is fun. Yeah. It's crazy. It's totally crazy. Owen Wilson, imagine you got cut off in line at Joe's Pizza
27:07
How would you handle that as Owen Wilson? I would just say, you cut me off
27:13
Wow. That's it. It's micro. Wow. Why would you do that? I do
27:17
Nick Cage is fun. Like, I don't even know why I'm here speaking to you on this show
27:24
Who's even watching you reign it in? You scream. I met Nick Cage and all the comments were like, who is that young
27:32
Is that his assistant? This 23-year-old beautiful Asian woman? And it's his wife, actually
27:40
Notice how I said 23-year-old Asian woman as Trump and not myself. Yeah
27:44
Oh, so you can get away with it. Somehow it sounds better. Yeah. Can you do Eric Adams? Yeah
27:49
Well, not really. He's just like a, you know, the thing about New York, New Yorkers, it's a great city
27:56
You can experience anything from going to a Yankee game to seeing planes crashing in the side of a building
28:06
It's an amazing city. That's a near perfect quote. You know, he actually said that
28:10
That's what I'm saying. He's out of his mind. He's out of his mind. Yeah. Yeah. That's a real quote
28:15
Why doesn't he get like a hair transplant because he has so many miles on Turkish Airlines
28:19
I don't get it. He's bald. He could use that. You've seen those videos of all those guys getting off like on the plane from Turkey
28:26
Yeah, it's insane. Let me hear your Eric Adams. I'm Mayor Adams
28:37
I'm Mr. New York. It's not good. That is unbelievable. It's so bad
28:42
I swear to God. Wait, I can do a good Donald Trump, I think. Go ahead. I mean, oh, great
28:45
I'm telling Matt Friend. Go ahead. Matt Friend, you're so amazing. Oh, my God
28:54
Is it good? Well, I would say it's pretty good, actually. It's pretty good
28:59
I'm working at my Cuomo now, like, I don't know, Andrew Cuomo. Like, New Yorkers, we are living in a city that has been overcome and overrun by the extreme left
29:11
And the extreme right is causing many problems as well. I want to pinch a couple girls' butt cheeks right now
29:20
Just because I massage your shoulders without you asking me to does not mean it's a problem
29:31
When I was growing up in New York, I loved a free foot rub and a back rub
29:38
New York, that's what this city is about. Coming together. If you know what I mean
29:47
Were you here during the pandemic? It's not terrible, is it? It was good. It's not great
29:51
It's not great. Oh, that's nice. I think that you could probably massage that a bit
29:55
Excuse me? Spoken like a true fact. You can massage that a little bit
30:00
Now it makes it okay. Yeah, it does. I'm going to do the Matt Friend thing. Yes, it does. Yeah, yeah
30:05
Okay, so you've got... Jim Gaffigan, you know him? He's so funny. It's so great to be here
30:10
I don't even understand what this show is. There's like a camera and like a person in the corner eating a Pop-Tart
30:17
But why are we even doing this? Jim Gaffigan, if you want to sound like you just have to like sound like you've been choked to death, run five miles, and then question everything around you with a childlike wonder
30:27
He's like, why do cicadas come every 17 years? What even is a Hot Pocket
30:33
I don't know. Yeah. So good. Yeah, thank you. Someone said, Bet You Can't Do Shakira
30:44
She's kind of got that Luke Bryan, Kermit the Frog. Country girl, shake it for me now
30:51
Shake it for me. Come on, man. Luke Bryan, baby. I saw your video with him
30:56
Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, that was really good. I mean, this party. It was fun
31:02
Yeah, he's great. What do you make of this Diddy trial? It gets crazier and crazier every day
31:07
I think it's weird, wild stuff. I think it's insane. Yeah. I think it's not a good situation
31:14
No, not at all. It's not good. On that note. Bad stuff
31:20
What do you think about it? Look at this. This is the questions I get
31:24
Natasha, do Shakira therapy. Yeah, Natasha, do it. Wait, Natasha, who is your – do Shakira first
31:33
Natasha, that was unbelievable. It's like Shakira getting hit by a car
31:37
It was really good. Duh. It was really good. Like, don't you get it? I do get it
31:42
God. I do get it. It was excellent. I'm working on some stuff, guys
31:45
It was excellent. When this news thing doesn't work out. No, Natasha, you're killing it
31:49
Really? You are. I know you're busy. You've got to get back on the road
