WEBVTT - The COVID Hangover: Why Bar Scenes Will Never Recover 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:01.680 Beaking up in old casts. 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:07.880 For those that done the red cast, it's. 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.520 The John Phillip Show. 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.680 And we continue at two oh five in the afternoon 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.919 on The John Phillip Show. Mister Randy Weggs in Culver City. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.520 Only you would send me ideas of stuff you need 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.959 me to do thirty seconds before we go on the air. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.840 Now I have to figure out while you do your interview, 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.280 how to get a picture of Rosy O'Donnell on the screen. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:39.560 I'll do my best, Okay, she was dressed in such 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:44.360 an outrageous way you almost have to see it to 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.440 really fully understand it. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.880 Am I right, it's pretty great. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.720 And by the way, I've mentioned this to you a 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.800 thousand times, but I'll mention it in one thousand or 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.880 one times. It's easier when you send me an email, 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.200 because when you text it to me, then I have 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.760 to email it to myself so then I can get 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.000 it on the computer, so then I can put it 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:05.679 on the screen. 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.399 Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.039 jellphone number one. Eight hundred two two two five two 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:15.560 two two. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.039 There's a big work differential in this relationship. I just 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.240 want everyone to know this. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.760 You know, I'm gonna. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.480 Borrow a line from the California Energy Commission. You watch 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:30.319 your tone. Here, here's the picture that Johnny wanted to 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.080 show everybody. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.759 Now, what do you make of that fashion choice? 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.480 Well, isn't she doing like a whole throwback to her 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.759 old talk show from the nineties. She says she's got 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.199 all the little cushi's, the little dolls on the desk. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.760 I don't know. She kind of looks like a lesbian. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:54.560 Hank Williams to me, Hey, whatever works for you. I'm 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:59.400 sure there's a market for that. All right, it is 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.360 our pleasure. Welcome our next guest to the broker. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.240 Can you guys hear me? You know I'm a lute eye. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:09.720 John Did I get the mic right? 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:10.440 Oh? 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.920 No, I can hear you. Just fine. It's Bill Schultz. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:18.399 Everyone you can follow out exit Bill Schulz. Bill, Hello, thanks. 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:19.200 For having me, buddy. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.000 You know, we have known each other for way too long, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.560 and I was listening today and it was a great show. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.679 But I have to tell you, and if memory serves, 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.359 you're like third fourth. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.000 Generation Los Angelean. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:38.320 Yeah, and I have never heard you hate your city 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:46.399 more than you currently do, well, which. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.240 I get again. I was there recently, and it's weird. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.560 It's like, it's like it's like the future, because you know, 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.720 New York doesn't have like way Mos or driverless cars. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.880 So I was with my buddy Drew, who's a big 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.400 fan of yours, by the way, you met them way 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.120 back in the day, and I'm taking pictures of these 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.600 little delivery robots and driverless cars because we're not any 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:07.360 of that in New York. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.920 And I'm like, I'm in the Jetsons. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.920 But then the next block over there's a guy defecating 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.000 on himself and then trying to throw it at me. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:16.400 So it's a yate and a yen. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.080 Was it a shock to your system? 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.400 Because not that long ago it used to be a 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.400 really fun place to live, a fun place to visit. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.480 And I feel like whenever I talk to someone who 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.320 hasn't been here in a while and they show up 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.440 and they see the condition of the city, they're like, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.600 what the hell happened to you? 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.520 It is so true. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:42.320 Drew Lerner lives and has always lived in downtown LA. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:48.360 People actually do live there locals, and it was, as 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.520 you know better than anyone, it was having a bit 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.560 of a renaissance. I don't know, I want to say, 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.920 like a decade ago or something like new things were 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.520 happening and Disney plays all that stuff. And now when 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.880 I visit him and I, of course, because Billy's on 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.600 a budget, I crashed his couch and I'm there and uh, 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.960 it's it's the scene in the movie in the in 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.560 the video music video. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:17.159 Thriller at about eight at night, and that has changed 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:17.479 for me. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:23.320 But well, thank you so much for stopping by. It's 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.360 been too long, and uh, yeah, we're so so happy 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.039 to have you. So you have a new project that 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.039 you're working on. I want to talk about that and 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.039 it it it. I think it's a great thing in 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.240 the sense that it teaches people when one door closes, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.760 another door opens up, and that's kind of what you experienced. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:48.839 Well, my autobiography should be all closed doors, so you know, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.320 you got to make your own door. Yeah, the I 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.359 was I saw the future at Emerson College and I 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.800 realized it's pret journalism. And I've been as that smart 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.160 ever but as the U and you know, I've had 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.920 some experience in broadcasts as well. But as the gigs 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.800 have slowly I can't believe I said slowly, as the 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.640 gigs have quickly dried up. You know, you've got to 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:19.080 supplement the income. And I have no discernible skills, but 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.960 I'm an okay researcher and I do like some New 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.680 York history. And so about two years ago I got 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.680 my New York Tour Guides license because it's New York. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.920 They need a license for goddamn everything. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.440 And so I was doing it walking tours with these 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:43.080 great you might have heard of them because they're starting 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.440 to get popular in LA too, but they're called the 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.800 Bowery Boys, and they do this great podcast starting in 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.280 two thousand and seven before people even knew podcast or 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.520 about all things in New York history. And they don't 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.440 do the Wikipedia, and they certainly don't do the AI. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.000 They do really great, hardcore research on all these fun 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.200 little things about New York you never thought you never 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.800 knew and never thought you'd want to know. And they 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.360 got really big, and they got they started doing sellout 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.800 shows throughout the city, and so from them, the next 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.799 logical step after some successful books was to do walking tours. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:22.080 And I used to use them as sources because I 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.440 was just a fan in my stories, and I used 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.919 to do a really successful with the teen's column for 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.920 The New York Times about New York museums. The meeting 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.440 reader age for my columns was about sixty five to dead. 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.359 But I would use them as sources all the time, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.479 and to the point where my editor said, you got 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.599 to stop using the Bowery Boys as your source. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.119 But I think that helps. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.479 But I finally just pitched them my neighborhood, which is 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.960 East Midtown or is The locals call it Turtle Bid 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.960 and nobody does tours here and it's a very cool 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:05.000 looks boring, but it's certainly not area of Manhattan. And 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.080 I was doing it with them for two years, but 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.600 it wasn't enough. It was there was not enough gigs 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.480 I get, they would get. They would give me what 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.400 they could, but it would be like maybe three four 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.000 times a month. Freelance wasn't helping. And so I have 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.480 And by the way, thank you for this unsolicited plug. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.280 I certainly didn't email this. I love you. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:28.520 But so I just started with this asshole of a boss. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.200 We'll use that. 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.640 Oh sorry, I can't wear this a hole of a boss. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.160 That's my fault. But my dad, George Schultz, and so 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.840 we're doing this. It's called flying Dutchman Tours dot com. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.520 Uh and uh So now I'm available six days a week. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.440 It starts at eleven and then there's another tour at three. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.560 But I'm available for private tours and we'll dress up 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.160 in costumes depending on the price. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.240 Well, it's interesting that you say that, because you talk 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:06.120 about experiencing the history of an area through bars and 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.280 food and those sorts of things, and that's really how 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.560 we experience a community. That's really when you think about 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.720 an area that you like, whether it's the area that 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.840 you live in or an area that you visit, so 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.520 much of that is done through food and drink. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.880 That when a neighborhood. And this is why. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.160 Part of the reason why I think that the COVID 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.040 lockdowns were so awful, Oh yeah, is it caused so 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.840 many restaurants and bars to go under and so many 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.000 places in Los Angeles and San Francisco in particular that 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.600 I loved for years and years and years and then 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.240 we just shut them down and they go away, and 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.920 you go, well, it's not just losing a restaurant, it's 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.400 not just losing a bar. You're losing your history. You're 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:57.040 losing fun parts of the city that people remember and enjoy. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.840 Oh, a good example of that, which is kind of 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.199 in the neighborhood, not on the tour, but it's a 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.600 little further away from Turtle Bay. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.880 But have you ever been to the twenty one Club 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:07.840 in New York? 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.080 Yeah? I have. I went with Tammy Bruce. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.960 Yeah, well, I love her. She used to be on 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:13.520 Red Eye too. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.720 You know, it's been closed down since COVID and they 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.320 keep saying that somehow it's going to come back. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:18.680 It's not. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.280 And that was a staple, a historical staple, not only 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.080 New York nightlife, but the stories, the history of that 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.880 place is unparalleled. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.000 And it's collecting mothballs as. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.040 We speak, and that is one of many to your 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.480 point in this neck of the woods that is dealing 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.480 with the exact same thing. And and also too, But 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.280 like I wonder about this how it is with you guys, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.200 because you know, we actually have seasons here and when 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.800 COVID was at it's worst, but as crappy as the 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.480 local government is, they were relatively good about. 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.760 Opening places just so they could make some money. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.640 But of course it was all outside and so all 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.640 like public drinking. Well, we kind of became New Orleans 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.520 for a little bit. Public public drinking, open beverage right 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:13.640 was no longer illegal. Every single bar did take takeout 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.080 drinks in plastic cups, and everyone just lived outside, and 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.800 they also allowed because of all the bureaucracy in New York, 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.240 it was very hard to get outdoor seating at a bar. Uh. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.880 And they got rid of all of that, just for 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.880 the breathing or whatever it was, and a lot of 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.920 that has still kind of remained. I will say that 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.040 they got rid of the open alcohol stuff, but so 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.720 many bars are like, especially if they have cops as customers, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.320 they are like, now we're still doing it. And so 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.920 as a good example, I this is the margarita I 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.600 just brought home right before the show. But yeah, no 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.720 one cares. But so they made allowances for that, but 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.040 we still lost and continue to have just mothballs and 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.480 places that you wouldn't think would have mouth mothballs. So 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.160 many businesses, and I'm sure LA got destroyed, probably even 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:02.360 more it did. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.280 And it also I think besides losing your history and 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.400 losing what makes a neighborhood special, I think it also 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.079 hits another nerve that drives people crazy, which is if 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.040 you're a bar or you're a restaurant and you've been 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.480 around a long time, you probably have rent that's something like, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.360 you know, four nickels and a button, and so you 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.320 can charge much less for a drink or for a 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.599 plate of food or whatever than many of your competitors 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.199 because you just don't have that high rent. When those 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.640 places go under, they're not replaced by other bars that 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.720 will sell you a seven dollars drink or will sell 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.800 you a twelve dollars hamburger. They're replaced by places that 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.600 charge whatever it is that's the going rate for a drink. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.640 You pay twenty dollars instead of eight, or you pay 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.720 you know, fifty dollars for an entree instead of seventeen. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.880 And it just causes the cost of living to go 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.280 through the roof because those old amy places that could 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.439 get away with reasonable prices are now wiped out by 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:06.119 the wave. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.679 Choir preaching, and like so many family owned areas around 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.120 here have just been replaced by chipolti chipolti my pronounce 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.920 that correctly, I refuse to go or something of that equivalent. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:26.559 And it's heartbreaking and and again, like the other and 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.320 I know you cover this a lot, but like you know, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:33.000 The other result of COVID was just it escalated something 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.199 that was already happening, which is just working at home. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.960 And as a result, and I kind of felt it 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.760 in La although I was surprised that it was as 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.800 crowded as it was. But if you haven't been in 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.560 New York in a while and you come now, you 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.880 can see it, Like you know, it's there's less people, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.920 and so you're working from home, you're getting Amazon deliveries, 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.480 and that home is either in New Jersey or. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.320 Connecticut, maybe Queensborough, Lynn. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.320 It's hard to afford, and you're certainly not coming to 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.439 the city center to work anymore. And we've got it's 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.720 almost like I'm worried that we're going to end up 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.600 being like an expensive ghost town equivalent of Detroit, where it's. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:13.800 Just going to be all of these. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:21.120 Former places of business, gigantic edifices that are completely empty, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:27.080 and yeah, you notice it, and like, I hate people, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.320 so part of me likes that, But for the future 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.800 of the city, which I'm invested in, it's not good. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.360 And it's something that's happening here. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.320 It's happening in Los Angeles, it's happening in San Francisco, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.440 where you have these downtown centers where people used to work, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.160 and they used to show up every day, and they 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:45.880 used to go to lunch, and they used to get 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.200 their coffee, and they used to stick around after work 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.360 for a drink and all of those things. You work 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.520 at home and your pajamas, you no longer have to 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.600 do that. There's a fight going on right now in 0:13:55.640 --> 0:14:00.240 Sacramento between Galvin Newsom and the state workers because many 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.280 of the state workers are now on work from home 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:07.079 status and all the sandwich shops and Sacramento are going under, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.160 and the bars are going under, and the coffee places 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.520 are going under. And he doesn't want the visual as 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.160 he's getting ready to run for president of the city 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.960 that he works in being a ghost town with tumbleweeds 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.560 going down the street in the middle at five of 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:28.000 a one pm on a Tuesday and all of the 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.960 business is boarded up. He doesn't want that visual. So 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.480 now he's trying to force them to back come back 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:34.280 into the office. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.000 Mm hmm, yeah, it's uh. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.720 I don't I like, I don't want to say bounce back, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.800 particularly even this is a pretty high priced neighborhood that 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.480 I live in in Turtle Bay, I may be here 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:53.040 illegally edit that out, but but I mean, you know. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.520 There's still boarded up places, not. 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.120 As much nearly as when COVID I guess pseudo ended, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.560 but also like our new development. It used to be 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.720 just this area was all diplomats and old people. Our 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.760 new development is a bunch of graffiti. Never had that 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.880 the entire time I've lived here. I've lived in New 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.440 York since ninety eight, here since two thousand and six. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.720 You never saw graffiti. It's an immaculate old people neighborhood, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.920 you know, with tiny dogs and tinier tipping diplomats. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.520 But now there's just graffiti everywhere. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:32.240 And again it's not at all remotely like you know, gosh, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.320 what's that famous area in downtown LA with skid Row. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.560 It's not like that, but it is so noticeably worse 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.840 than I mean, I know you're coming in February. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.600 I don't know how often you come here, but you'll 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:44.320 see a difference. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.360 Last thing before we go. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.800 You are a fixture in late night TV for years 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.320 and years and years, and we've had so many conversations. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.160 About that world. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.240 Kimmel recently took some time off this week and had 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.400 none other than Rosie O'Donnell, who self deported back to 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.680 Ireland after President Trump was elected for the second time 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.800 because she said she was in fear of her safety 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.840 and in fear of the safety of her daughter. I 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.480 guess she thought that Trump was going to throw on 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.720 a goulug or something, and she came back and hosted 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.600 Kimmel and went after Trump the whole time that she 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.280 was she was hosting. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.440 Did you see that? What'd you think of it? 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.440 I was just made aware of it right before this, 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.880 and I just naturally assumed that you chose this because 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.160 I have often been described as a skinnier version of 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.560 Rosie o'donald, and I take. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:38.280 Offense to all of this. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.520 I either get skinnier version of Rosi o'donald or late 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.440 in life, Billy Jean King. That is what my comparisons 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.440 usually are physically. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.720 But I hadn't. I did not see the show. I 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.520 every once in a while, I don't you. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.160 Might be like me where I'm still like I'm still 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.160 like one of those old funny duddies that has cable. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.840 And the only way I'll ever even look at the 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.440 antiquated thing that his talk shows anymore is if they 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.080 have good guests. So just goet my little clicker and 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.000 I'll go right past a Kimmel or a Fallon monologue, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.840 and if they've got a good guess, I'll watch that. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.800 And every once in a while Kimmel will have an 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.159 interesting guest host and I'm like, oh, I want to 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:20.520 see that. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.119 This is one that I would skip. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:29.200 But I will say this though, it just Katie highlights. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.720 I mean maybe low lights, but like, what was the 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:32.600 story with the show? 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.239 But she just attacked Trump the whole time, which of 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:36.960 course is what you. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.000 Expect those where bread is buttered. But let's just take 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.639 her out of the equation. One of the things that 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.679 I wish the late night shows would do now that 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.480 they used to do, especially when Carson was there and others, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.480 is whenever he was gone, there would be a guest host. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.239 It wasn't just a rerun. It was Joan Rivers or 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.240 Jay Leno or Home and before that. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.040 David Letterman, David it was like his most regular guest 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.479 host until he did Late Night. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.040 You know, yeah, I missed those days. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.840 Oh me too. And it was always so fun. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.639 It was like sort of like it was still the 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.879 same old comfy blanket that you have. But there was 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.600 like a little like kick in it. You know, there 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.159 was a little there was a little kick in the 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.320 old drink. But yeah, and it was all all those regulars. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.800 And then you know, famously Joan Rivers might have been 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.639 at some point more on than Jay Leno. But then 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.640 they never spoke again because Joan Rivers and I think 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.919 that thing lasted for about three months. She got her 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:39.400 own talk show on this upcoming network called Fox and 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.280 Johnny Carson And when you burned at Johnny carson Bridge, 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.359 it is burned. You never talked to her again. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.440 All right, We're gonna have to leave it there. Bill. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.280 If people want more information about your new project, how 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.080 can they find it? 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.240 You are the best buddy, and you have a family 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.960 and friends discount read you could do it for free 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.480 for the tour, even though we'll be in February and 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.720 your delicate la but we'll not be able to handle 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:07.040 the weather. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:08.920 But it is. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:15.680 At the Flying Dutchman m e N tours dot com. 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.479 And if you just do Flying Dutchmen, you're gonna get 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.359 a cannabis site in Netherlands.
