0:05From Studio 6B and Rockalella, Statter in the Heart of New York City, it's the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight joins Jimmy and his guest LL Cool J, Mel Robbins, Veronica Slowikowska, and featuring the legendary Roots Crew. 2362. And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon!

0:56Come on!

0:59Thank you very much! Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show! This is it. You're here. You made it. Thanks for watching. Well, guys, we're just five days away from the midterms. Yeah. And last night in Ohio, President Trump held a rally where he once again bragged about taking a cognitive test. Watch this. They have a lion, a bear, a snake, and a camel. They say, which one is the snake? It's a very powerful test, very highly respected test. I passed it all three times. I aced it.

1:39That's the test to see if you're mentally fit enough to run the country? Spotting the difference between a snake and a camel? Voters are like, why do they keep making you take it over and over again? I'm just talking about something else. I'm just talking about anything else. I started by looking at his ass, and it was strong as hell. No, no, never mind. Never mind. Never mind. That's right. The midterms are just five days away, and Trump has been trying to make his closing argument to voters. If you haven't been keeping track, we'll break it down in Trump's own words. The midterms are almost here, and Trump firmly believes our country is doing so well under Republican leadership, or as he put it...

2:15Our country is doing so well under Republican leadership...

2:22Trump wants to keep control of Congress, and he says that this election is pivotal, or as he put it, Pivotable.

2:36But he's already claiming the election could have voter fraud and impersonation schemes, or as he put it... Impersonization, the schemes that they use for imperson-nization.

2:52Of course, if his party wins, you know he'll say the victory is undisputed, or as he put it... Undisputed? When did this come out? Trump wants votes from everyone, from religious voters to people who don't read the Bible as much, or as he put it... Read the Bible as much. He's been giving long speeches, lashing out at anyone who's a Democrat, immigrant, or transgender, or as he put it... Transgender, this is what he said. In conclusion, if Trump loses, we may not hear from him for a while. He might say, I figured I won't have a news conference and I'm entitled, or as he put it... I figured maybe I won't have a news conference and I'm entitled to him.

3:33Hope that helped. Whoo! Oh. I'm entitled. Yeah. Well, the biggest story of the midterms right now is the report that Democrats in Alaska recruited a man named Dan Sullivan to run as an independent in hopes of stealing votes from the Republican candidate also named Dan Sullivan. Here now to comment is Dan Sullivan. Hey there, Jimmy. Good to be here. Yeah, and just to be clear, which Dan Sullivan are you? Well, apparently, I'm the fake one, which was news to me. You didn't know about this whole scheme? Absolutely not. I just thought they recruited me because I'd be a really good senator. Really?

4:18What are your qualifications? Well, I'm a retired teacher. I'm from a fishing village so small you can't even drive there. I have very few friends and don't generally keep up with the news.

4:33And you thought that... Excuse me, Jimmy. Sorry, I wasn't done. Please let me finish. I do not pay my taxes. I do not tip my waiters. I do not know how, why, or when to flip a mattress. You just rotate the... Still not done. Sorry. I am moody. I am greedy. I am of low moral character. I watched the Elizabeth Holmes documentary and thought, Billy seemed pretty cool. Whenever I split a dish at a restaurant, I eat my portion really fast, then sneeze on their portion so I get to eat that one, too. Yeah. Are you... Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. If you'd just let me finish, I'd be done by now. Anyway, I am lazy.

5:15I am scornful of babies, indifferent to puppies, and publicly slanderous to the most beloved celebrity of all time, Keanu Reeves. Boo. I take my shoes off on planes and pull my pants and underwear all the way to the ground when I pee at urinals. I'm unlikely to ever lose my baby teeth because I keep them all in this little necklace my mommy gave me. And yes, I call her mommy. And yes, I live in her basement. And no, she doesn't know.

5:51Now are you done? I mentioned the pee thing. Yes. Yeah, then I'm done. All right, Dan Sullivan, everybody. Dan Sullivan for Senate. The fake one. The fake one. All right, thank you, Dan. Well, it's almost Halloween, and today at the White House, Trump and Melania handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. Before he gave out candy to each kid, Trump was like, If you vote for me, I'll give you 5 ,000 Butterfinger. One of the big Halloween activities was when Trump let kids bob for floating paint chunks in the reflecting pool. I thought that was... And this is cute. The kid who got a chocolate bar with the golden ticket inside gets to be the next White House press secretary.

6:29Isn't that fun?

6:35Speaking of Halloween, I saw that Reese's had to clarify that the pumpkin photo on their packaging doesn't exactly match the candy inside. Well, now other candies are being careful to make sure their marketing is completely truthful. So I'll show you what I mean. Here's the new, totally honest ad from Necco Wafers. Necco Wafers. They suck. Alright, there you go. A little harsh. Man, I love this time of year, though. Everyone's out there partying, trick-or-treating. Writing songs. Yeah, it's our camera guy, Dave. What did you say there, Dave? I was just saying that I wrote a Halloween song. Do you want to hear it?

7:15Well, we don't really actually have time, Dave, so I'm sorry. Absolutely. Hit it! It's Halloween, baby, trick or treat. I know you're looking for something sweet Like a Reese's Cup or a Kit Kat bar. But, baby, you don't have to look too far. I ain't got skittles or M &M's But baby I wanna be more than friends So when you're all dressed up, come to my door I'll show you what's in store Store? Store? I got a fun-sized candy bar for you I got a fun-sized candy bar for you I got a candy bar and the size is fun It ain't very big but it gets the job done I'll show you what I'm talking about. Reach down to my pants and whip it out.

8:05It's my fun-sized cannibal for you. It's little. It's little. It's little. It's little. It's fun. It's little. It's embarrassing, but it's little. It's cool. It's... Uh! Uh! Uh! All right, all right, all right. Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, stop. That's enough. Take the rest of the night off, please. Dave the cameraman, everybody. I'm sorry about that. Sorry about that. Happy Halloween. Well, listen to this. Apparently, Vladimir Putin is working with Elon Musk to develop a Russian version of a Starlink internet, and Putin called Elon a genius. A genius. Trump was like, maybe, but how many camels can he identify?

8:49That's a real genius. Get this? I read that thieves in Philadelphia broke into a trailer and stole 3 ,000 pounds of frozen crab. Hey, look, if you want to get crabs in Philly, James will tell you there are definitely easier ways.

9:12Whoo! And finally... You got to come to rehearsals, dude. Yeah, yeah. Finally, this is going viral. The new popcorn buckets for Dune Part 3 were just revealed, and one of them actually vibrates. Take a look. Oh, okay. I have a feeling a lot of guys are about to make a very embarrassing trip to the emergency room. By the way, if you see someone carrying a popcorn bucket without using their hands, just call the police. We have a great show. LL Cool J is here! LL! Mel Robbins is joining us! From Saturday Night Live, Veronica Slavikoskaya is here! We'll be right back with LL Cool J. Come on back!

10:20Our first guest is a multi-platinum Grammy-winning artist and very talented actor. He stars in NCIS New York, which airs Tuesday nights on CBS and streams on Paramount+. Please welcome LL Cool J!

10:47That's right there. A standing O for LL Cool J. Come on, bud. Thank you for coming back to the show. Happy to be here. You look great. We've known each other for probably over 20-something years now. Definitely. Definitely. And you've always been great to me. I actually found a photo of us from a fashion show. A fashion show? Okay. It's from a fashion show, and you can see one of us is cool. Okay. And one of us isn't.

11:18I was real excited. Yeah. I was real excited about that fashion. That was good. The vibe. It's the hand positioning, right? Yeah, I was like, wow, look at this fashion. Yeah, I don't think it's that bad, though. Actually, I think we're actually very similar clothing, if you really look. No, what are you talking about? We don't look anything. No, we don't look anything alike at all. We're at two different shows. We're on two different rides right there, man. Your real name is James Todd Smith. Yes. LL Cool, ladies love Cool James. With your friends and your family, everyone calls you Todd. Yeah.

11:54I call you Todd. Yeah. Do you reach a point when you meet people where you go, hey, just call me Todd? No, no, no. It's not about that. I just don't like to walk in rooms and feel like people are talking to my Wikipedia page or something. You know what I mean? Yeah, just call me Todd. It just keeps things simple. Don't call you L.L. Especially, it really was for sets. You know, when you walk on a set, it's like, you know... Oh, sets. Yeah, like when I'm on... Thank you. Oh, you thought I'm in sets? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, what's that? Hey, hey, hey! He called it. What's my name? No, no. It's a role-playing role.

12:29For sets. Call me what you want! Yeah, okay, yeah. I don't care what you call me. For sets. Like, movies, movie sets. What do you prefer to call me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, anyway. Did you ever consider anything besides LL Cool J? Oh, I had a million different rap names. You did? Yeah, Deluxe, J-Ski. J-Ski? Yeah, because everybody had a ski back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just some of Shalik, Lord Supreme. Like, I had a million names for a million different reasons. I can see Lord Supreme that bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was, you know. But LL Cool J just works. Yeah, it's a little better.

13:06It just works. It works a little better. It just absolutely works. And retroactively, people try to play smart, but you're really rolling the dice on your name, bro. You're just like, yo, MCs? No, yo, whatever it ends up being. It kind of worked. Hi, guys. I'm J-ski. Yeah, it could have been nasty work. I feel like this could be L.L. and J-ski. I feel like I should J-ski right there. It could definitely be J-ski. You made a big announcement, by the way, this morning. And I'm very excited to talk about this. You're doing a residency at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rock the bells!

13:38Yeah, yeah. Rock the bells! The residency! Yes, yes, yes. You're taking over Vegas. Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun because it'll be a lot of genres, a lot of generations. It'll be my music. It'll be other people's music. There'll be DJs. It'll be dance. It's going to be, like, I believe, you know, a world-class hip-hop event, unlike anything that anyone's ever seen. That's at least my ball. LL Cool J in Vegas. Rock the Bells, the residency. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's massive. That's it. Yeah, no, I'm excited. I'm excited. I want to take you back, if you can remember this, to 1985. Okay. This is before your first album.

14:17before radio came out. You went to a college called Colby College in Maine. What's funny, they thought radio, you meant the actual radio. No, the name of the album was radio. No, no, not before radio. That's kind of good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My audience is bad. My M.T. Ford vibe. I got that. I caught that. This is before the radio was invented. Yeah, no, no, no, before your song. That felt older millennial-ish. No, yeah, no, no, no. No, no, I'm going back to when you first started. this is in the middle of Maine. Yeah, yeah. Do you remember this performance? I do, I do. It was the first time hip-hop was ever presented in Maine.

14:53One guy up there knew of me and invited us up, and we performed in a gymnasium, and hip-hop had never been seen in Maine before. And it's like my DJ's scratching, and people are like, what? I'm like, stop! I had to explain to them, okay, this is my DJ. He's gonna do the turntables and go back and forth, and I'm gonna do the human beatboxing. Then I'm gonna rap over the record. And, you know, you had kids in the gymnasium. You know how they sit on the floor in the gymnasium with that look, that 1 ,000-mile stare. And then the parents are like, I'm not sure. I don't know. You know, it was like, it was...

15:28It was fun to know. Maybe I should be somewhere eating lobster. Yeah, yeah, and we're in Maine, yeah. Let's talk about NCIS New York. Yes, yes, yes. This is what I'm talking about. You're great. Thank you. Thank you. It is the number one new show on TV, So congratulations on this. Thank you. Thank you. You've been playing your character, Sam Hannaford, for 20 years now. Almost here. Yeah, and now you're bringing it back. You're bringing it to New York, where you're from. Yeah. It's a lot of fun because my man Scott Gemmel, he wrote the pilot, and then David's staff and the team, Amy and them, they brought in Byron Belasco, who elevated it.

16:04And it's more character-driven than the show I was on prior. and it's... I think it's a really great contribution to the NCIS universe, because it's grittier, it's edgier, it's in New York. It just has a different kind of energy. Like, I mean, last week, the episode that aired, you know, Mobb Deep was playing as me and Scott Conn walked down Farmers Boulevard in Queens, New York, you know. No way. Yes, um... But at the same time, we're dealing with... Because, you know, New York is the whole world condensed into a city. You meet everybody, from every socioeconomic class, every ethnicity, you name it.

16:38It's in New York, so we interact with all kinds of people on the show, and it's really character and human, as opposed to it just being about a crime and forget about it. This is a little more of a human... It's levels, there's layers. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, come on, bud. And now you're in New York too. Yeah, Scott Cohn, yeah. LL Cool J, everybody! NCIS New York airs Tuesday nights on CBS and streams on Paramount+. We'll be right back with Mel Robbins. Stick around! Riding a cloud of the flames like I'm seated Trading the capital's way to my place Company's gonna keep her mind being cool in the hill Won't she ever see her dude playing cool career?

17:18Yeah Our next guest is the host of the Mel Robbins podcast with new episodes every Monday and Thursday wherever you get your podcasts. And her global best-selling book, The Let Them Theory, is available wherever books are sold. Please welcome Mel Robbins!

17:42Oh, my God! Mel! Oh, my God. Welcome back to the show, Mel Robbins. Thank you for that entrance right there. You're welcome. What a year you're having.

17:53Mel Robbins: I can't believe it. Oh, I can. You can? Yes, you're the best. Everyone loves you. You're the best. You crushed it. He's the best. No, you have so much going on. He's the best. I want to get into you. You have so much going on. Congrats on the podcast, the book. but even bigger than anything, you had a night, a baseball game at Fenway Park where you threw out the first pitch. Yes. Well, I think that's, first of all, it's an honor at Fenway Park. Well, you've done that. It's nerve-wracking. It's nerve-wracking. I don't know if I would ever do it again. It's too nerve-wracking. Why do it? It's probably the scariest thing I've ever done.

18:29Mel Robbins: Yes, exactly. And here's the thing. When the Fenway Sports Group and the Red Sox called me and said, we want to do let them night. We want you to throw out the opening pitch. I thought, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to the mound. I am going to throw from the mound on behalf of every mother in her 50s. Good for you. Yes. And I will tell you something. Okay, you guys, when you pace off 60 feet in your backyard... Totally different. Totally different. I got up into the Fenway Park. Yeah. I had to throw my underwear out after that. Yeah, yes. You threw it differently. and he threw a pitch out, and it's nerve-wracking.

19:06Mel Robbins: And Peyton Tolley was the person that caught it. Oh, my God. And so I said to him, now, listen, I'm terrified. Yeah. Whether it hits the ground or it hits your mitt, I'm coming in for a hug, so just grab me, okay? Okay, yeah, or you got to play it off. Yes, because this one's for the mom, and we're going to dedicate this to your late mother, too, Peyton. Aw. Yes. That's what I would do here. You got to run and jump up. But not only did you throw out the first pitch, they honored you with your own bobblehead. Mel, are you kidding me? Are you so excited? Well, I'll tell you what I'm excited about.

19:40Mel Robbins: This is the first female bobblehead in Red Sox history. Is that right? Yes. And I want to give Beth and Travis at the Fenway Sports Group a huge shout-out because I micromanaged one part of the bobblehead. Oh. Okay? Yes. Can anyone guess what it is? The glasses? As a man, you probably don't want to say this. I hate my butt. And so I literally wanted it to look really good. I saw it. We had back and forth. The bobblehead doll! Yes, I was like, King King, the bobblehead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want that. I want that. You did a great job, yes. They did a great job. You did a great job. Fantastic. So you gave this to me, so when I display this, you display it that way?

20:27Well, you can do it. That's on you. If you want to look at that, that's your problem. Yeah, perfect. All right, good. I also want to say congratulations. You're on the cover of People magazine. Talk to me.

20:42I mean, isn't that cool?

20:43Mel Robbins: It's incredible. It's iconic. Well, you know, I just never imagined being on the cover of that magazine. And it's the first time I've done any major magazine, and we invited them to our home in Vermont. And all the moms will relate to this one. It took People Magazine coming to my house for us to get a freaking family photo. I'm not kidding. All you moms out there, you've got pictures of everyone in your family, and you're not in a single one of them. You're the one taking the photo. Yes, I loved it. It's a fantastic article. It is. I feel so honored, and I'm so grateful to have family photos.

21:19But here's another reason why I love you. You faked out your family and your friends by telling them, you go, I got the cover of People Magazine, and you sent them a fake cover. You sent him this, with you looking very sad.

21:31Mel Robbins: Now, there's a story behind this photo. One hour, you guys, before People magazine, like 30 people were showing up at our house, I was scream crying in my bedroom because I hated all of my clothes in my closet. I felt ugly and just, like, awful. And my daughter was so annoyed, she took a photo of me and was like, get yourself together and left. That's the photo she took. Oh, Larry, that's good. An hour before people arrived. And were your family honest to you when you showed him? You go, here's the cover. What do you think? OK, so I was hiding behind it. And my husband was perfect. Because he said, what?

22:08Mel Robbins: And then he didn't know what to say. Because he didn't want me to get upset. And then my son, every, the son, my son was just straight out of central casting. He's like, mom, I love it. You look amazing. And I'm like, really? And he's like, well, it's not like you're some good looking celebrity. You're raw. You're emotional. This is the real you, Mom. It's great. I don't know how I would take that. But then your childhood friend... Jody. Jody, by the way. Who was at the salon and I didn't know it. Okay, yeah. You FaceTimed. Watch. Well, here's Jody's reaction. You look scared. This looks like somebody's been in a car crash.

22:51Mel Robbins: Like, you just found out you're sick. Everyone's gonna go into the holiday season and fear depression. You need honest friends. You need honest friends. A huge shout-out to her. It's truly your childhood best friend if they allow you to share that publicly. And do that. I love it. Yeah, exactly. You've got me on video from the salon? You're going to show it on The Tonight Show? Oh, yeah, we are. Good friend. You're crushing it. By the way, your podcast is fantastic. The Mel Robbins podcast. Based on the Let Them theory, over 900 million downloads. 900 million.

23:32Now, the book, the book, by the way... Oh, by the way, the podcast was nominated for Golden Globe.

23:37Mel Robbins: Yeah. What? I know. I'm like, what? And the book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 96 weeks in a row. It's global. It's a global phenomenon. Yes. When I look at the People magazine cover and you go, yeah, one decision changed my life, what was the decision? Well, if I'm being honest, it was to stop being a loser and blaming all my problems on everybody else and to realize that if I wanted to change my life, nobody was going to come and do it for me, but nobody was going to stop me from doing it either. And, you know, we're all just one decision away from a different life. And the truth is, the decision can change the trajectory of your life.

24:22Mel Robbins: And I needed to stop waiting for somebody else to fix everything, and I needed to start acting like the person that I needed. And it began with just deciding to get out of the bed when the alarm rang instead of hitting the snooze button six times every morning and the kids missing the bus and starting the day like that. And that's how you change your life. You make a decision that you want to feel better and do better. and then every single day you wake up and you act like the person you want to become before you are that person. And over time, one day you're going to wake up and realize you've become them.

24:55You've become that person. Yeah. Yeah. You were in debt?

25:04Mel Robbins: Oh,$800 ,000. I was 41, three kids under the age of 10. My husband's restaurant business was failing and like complete idiots, we had secured the business with our entire life savings. And it was 2008. I don't know if anybody else had a terrible year that year, but, yeah. And, you know, it's not a remarkable story. Everybody has a period in their life that really sucks. Yeah. And you marinate in it for a while, and then you realize, wait a minute, I can either let things get worse before they get better, or I can decide that I'm sick of myself, and I'm gonna make it better. Yeah, and you made it better.

25:40Mel Robbins: And I made it better. You definitely made it better. Congratulations. Congratulations. That's how you do it. Yeah, that was 16 years ago, and that's why I'm so adamant about the things that I share. This is not the stuff I've read in a book. It's the things I've had to figure out the hard way. Yeah. It's the lessons that I've learned having to become a better version of myself, having to make my marriage stronger. We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Come on. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for sharing all that info with us, because you inspire all of us when we listen to you. Well, I don't even have it all figured out.

26:13Mel Robbins: Like, I'm still figuring it out with all of you. And, you know, when you think about the scale of this, I don't. I'm always thinking about the person who's in line with me at the grocery store and what is something that we can talk about, what some expert we can bring on the show that could make a difference in that person's life and make them feel better and do better. And I'm looking for the same thing in my life. Yeah. You are doing better. Can I talk about this, by the way? Yes. I love inventions. I love new things. And this is so you. I love that you invented a new protein shot. Yes. Now, talk to me about this, and how do you come up with this?

26:49And you go like, I think I want to do this. And then you made it real. I mean, this is everywhere.

26:54Mel Robbins: Well, so here's what happened. When you host a podcast and you learn all this stuff about what we're supposed to be doing, you realize what you're not doing. And what I was not doing, according to the medical experts, is getting enough fiber and protein. So I tried. And no matter how much I cook, no matter how many bars I eat, no matter how many shakes I've choking down, I could not get the amount of protein in. And so I partnered with my co-founders, and we recruited a world-class medical board and worked on this three-ounce shot. It has 23 grams of high-quality protein. It's only 100 calories, no sugar, no fat, no artificial flavors.

27:26Mel Robbins: And the thing I'm the most proud of, medical professionals around the world are recommending it in their practices because it's excellent if you're, like, recovering from surgery. You need protein. You need protein on the go. So I drink one every single morning. You don't even have to refrigerate it. It's incredible. It's genius. And I also love this. Blueberry lemonade. Do you have to... What? The light bulb. Oh, there you go. Yeah, you could turn it upside down. I'm like, yeah, I guess you can do that. That's what we're gonna do. All right, cheers to all your success. To your health. And to your health as well.

27:56And please come back. I love you. He's the best. No, no, no. Mel Robbins, everybody. Check out the Mel Robbins podcast and her book, The Left End Theory. More tonight, Travis, with a break. Stick around.

When I learned about my last name, I was like, that's a star's name. That's not a stage name.

29:48It's a stage name. It is. Oh, your real, yeah. Your real last name is Davis. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. No, I mean, I, like, I grew up in Canada, and my parents were, My parents are Polish immigrants, then went to Canada, so I moved here when I was 27, so a couple years ago. Are they funny? They're funny, yeah. My dad was a monk before he met my mom. And that's funny. That's a career change, yeah. He was a monk? Yeah, he was a monk. And then he met my mom, and I guess she was so freaking smoking hot that that was the end of that. What do you mean he was a monk? That's... He was a monk, and he actually...

30:32He called me last year, and he was like, this is crazy, but I know one of the guys running for Pope. Running? Do you do that? I don't think they're running. They're not campaigning for Pope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, I know what you mean. You've seen that movie. They do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Midterm Pope elections? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, exactly. Yeah, but he was in the running to be Pope, and your dad knew one of them? He's like, I was almost a monk. Yes, in Chicago, because he was an Augustinian monk, friar. The actual pope? Yes, and he was like, they spent a weekend together like many years ago.

31:08Counts? But sleepovers, right? Yes, yes. He had a sleepover with the pope? Yes. So your dad knows Pope Leo? Okay. Does the pope know your dad? I don't know. Okay, there you are. He's a really loud Polish guy. Like, if you met my dad, you would remember, but I would like to think so. And then he won. So, like, we thought it was cool that he, like, you know... You don't win the Pope, but yes, yes. And then he won. Chosen, you're chosen. And, like, people called in, they voted, and he won. No, no, it's like American Idol. Yeah, Ryan Seacrest, yeah, that's right. Yeah, no, no. Did your parents come to SNL, your first SNL?

31:45Yeah, they came to... My mom came for Amy Poehler. Woo, that's the best. That was really fun. That's the best. So she was... She's not very emotional, but she was just sobbing the entire time. And then, um, she had a glass of wine at the after party, and she kept going, Okay. I need to meet Amy. And I was like, You're never gonna meet Amy. And I'm gonna hide you. I'm hiding you in a corner. You stay in there. And you stay in the corner, Mom. Yeah, they gotta be proud. They were, and then my dad, uh, you know, he came to the Paul McCartney show, so I think, like, any gift to any dad, seeing Paul McCartney is, like, that's, like, the craziest thing in the world.

32:25I think the bigger gift is seeing his daughter crush it on Saturday night.

32:33I wanted to ask you if there's any Polish traditions that you would do for your birthday, and you told me about a song that you would sing, and you would teach me a little bit of the song, or us? I could do it. You could? It goes like this. Yes. Sto lat, sto lat, niech żyje, żyje nam. Right? Yep. So pretty easy. Let me start. Well, the first part, maybe. Yeah.

33:02What's the last part? Neh. Neh. That's hard right there. Neh. Right? We're in a little neh. Neh. Zee-eh. Neh. Zee-eh. Naan. Okay, this is good. And what does this mean, by the way? Stolat means 100 years, 100 years. Let's live it, live it. Now, something like this. Why don't you live on? Why don't you live on? Let's try it all together. We have cue cards for our audience.
