0:05From Studio 6B and Rock Another Center in the heart of New York City, it's The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight joins Jimmy and his guests, Rosalía, Linda Cardellini, Tate McRae, comedian Emma Willmann and featuring the legendary Roots Crouch. 2353! And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon!
0:59Come on. I love you. Welcome, everybody. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show. This is it. You're here. Thank you for watching. Well, guys, it is less than a month before the midterms and new polling numbers show that Democrats are favored to take control of both the House and the Senate.
1:26Democrats haven't been this excited since the great kale fad of 2013. Meanwhile, Trump is doing all he can to help Republicans. In the last seven days, he's held rallies in Ohio, Nebraska, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. Or, as Melania put it, best week ever! Ow! Some more political news. For the first time in over 20 years, the White House is refusing to allow international election monitors to observe the midterms. Mm. They're calling it Operation Sus. Yep, the White House isn't allowing international election monitors. A lot of people are worried Trump might try to mess with the voting, so to address those concerns, he's put out this message.
2:08Watch this. It's almost Election Day, and every American deserves to have their ballots counted. That's why I'm making sure every Democratic district will have an extra-secure, state-of-the-art Trump ballot counter. With the Trump ballot counter, just slide your ballot into the machine and then rest easy. They work perfectly. I just tested them with the Epstein files. And best of all, it makes fresh confetti for my big election night party. The Trump ballot counter. Made in Russia. No, no. What? Well, with only 28 days until the midterms, there's some really interesting polling in some key districts.
2:46For more on this, we're joined by our chief data analyst, Dave Kowalski. Welcome to the show, Dave. Hey, hey. Thanks, Jimmy. I mean, it's great to be here. It's just such an exciting time. Uh, so what races should we be focusing on right now? Well, all eyes are on Texas, where, right now, Democrat James Tallarico is favored over Republican Ken Paxton by six points. Oh, that's really surprising. Yeah, exactly. Now, over in Ohio, we got... I'm sorry. Eesh. Girlfriend alert. Sorry, I thought I turned the texts off. Sorry about that. Get out of here, Julie! Oh, okay. Um, right. Anyway, um, in Ohio here, you got something pretty interesting happening.
3:31I don't know. Uh, uh, don't... Sorry, do you need to deal with, uh, that, Dave? No, not at all. No. That's fine. Um, you know what? Let's-let's dive into the Alaska race. This is an interesting one here. Out here in Alaska, we've got... Thank you.
3:52You know what, Jimmy? Can I have one second? Yeah, yeah, sure thing. Yeah, you-you-you... Take your time, okay? Yeah, thank-thank you. Ah.
4:05Great. Okay. All good. Let's get back to Alaska right now, here. So, the numbers are very interesting right now. One time. Um, okay. Uh, Mary Peltola, actually, right now is... Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right. Uh, she's actually ahead of Republican... Dave, Dave, I feel... Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, I feel like you have a lot of personal stuff going on right now, so maybe it's best if we revisit this next week. No, no, come on. Don't be ridiculous, Jimmy. This is all jokes. These are all just funny jokes. It's not real. It's...
4:47Okay, okay. Our chief data analyst, Dave Kopatsky, everybody. Suspenders are cool. Larry King wore suspenders. Thank you. Thank you very much. Wow. Listen to this, everyone. Trump Mobile, the cell service founded by Eric and Don Jr., was just hacked, exposing the data of over 3 ,000 customers. Yeah. It's rough when you get scammed, then your personal data gets hacked. I got scacked. Do you guys see this? Michigan Representative Haley Stevens, who recently lost the Democratic Senate primary, went on TMZ last night and seemed to have the time of her life. Even though she lost. Check this out. Talk softer.
5:27I don't know how. I'm the best loser in America. I mean, they lost to Trump. That stinks. They're gonna try and determine because they see something. I know nothing about California. My fiance is right here. I'm not hitting on Jacob. Okay? His name is Jason, and he He loves me to pieces. Wow, here to comment is Michigan Representative Haley Stevens. Uh, wait, hello? Where's... Where is she? I'm right here, Jimmy. Okay. Yeah. Hi. Hi. Hi. I know this was supposed to be a remote interview, but Michiganders, don't wait for an invitation, okay? We hop on a flight, we open a door, we distract the security with a couple water balloons.
6:17All right. Whapaw, whapaw, a water balloon. Okay, all right, well, very nice. I'm glad that you came. Hey, don't worry, I'm not hitting on you, all right? My fiance is right here, okay. Oh. His name is Jason, and he loves me so good it gives me goosebumps. Blow me a kiss, baby, send me a wet one. Oh! Whoo! Oh, that feels like heaven. All right, all right, Wayne. Nice to meet you there, Jason. Now, you know, I'm a little surprised, though, that you're in such a good mood after losing the primary in your Senate race. Can I be honest with you, Jimmy? I'm not listening to a word you're saying. That beautiful mutton chop of a man is staring right at me.
7:07Who are you staring at, Jason? Oh, look how cute he is with those big brown eyes. Do a little dance for him, Jason. Show him that little dance you were doing earlier. Oh! Look at that. He learned that all on his own. Can you believe that? No, I really can't. Very impressive. I guess I'm just wondering, what are your political goals right now? Are you planning to run for governor? Oh, Michiganders don't make plans. We make cars, we make hats, we make crazy vocal choices, and big, full, baddy cartoon gestures, okay? Hey, Kate, is that really how you talk? Why is it super crazy? Guess what? I don't care!
7:57All right. Okay, the only opinion I care about is that man right there. Look at him. He's built like a frickin' beaver to him. Oh, stop flirting like that, Jason. You keep flirting like that, I'm gonna stick my tongue so far down your throat, it's gonna come out in saga talk. Oh, hey, come on. Come on now. Everyone control yourself here, okay? Okay, all right. Yeah, thank you very much. I can do that, Jimmy. I can control myself. Just as long as he doesn't do that little dance again. Yeah, he's not... Oh, you said you woke up the Wolverine, baby! All right, all right. Hold on. Now, Representative Hailey Stevens and our Beyoncé, Jason, everyone.
8:41Oh, my God. Holy mackerel. All right, very good. All right, get him out of here. All right, get him out of here. Yeah, thank you. Oh, my God. Security, help him. All right, bye. You guys hear about this big Jeep recall? It's not good, yeah. Watch this. A recaller to tell you about this morning involving about 330 ,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees. The issue? Improperly installed rear suspension springs that can detach while you're driving. What? Man, I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Jeez, I'm sorry about that, Tariq. It's okay. At least I still have my trusty Land Rover. Oh. Oh what? Roll the clip. Land Rover is recalling over 23 ,000 vehicles because of a software error that can cause the converter to stop working.
9:32What? That's not good. That's not good. Man, how am I going to get around? I'm supposed to bring drinks and snacks for my son's big football game this weekend. Did you buy anything yet? Yeah, I got like 122 ,000 cases of Gatorade. More than 122 ,000 cases of Gatorade are being recalled. Oh, come on! I'm very sorry about this treat. Man, I'm so upset. I need to cool off with about 2 ,000 Friedrich Cool Q & Cool S Window Air Conditioners. Uh, how to pronounce those words, uh, I pronounced it right, but they're spelled different than what I sound like. Now, about 2 ,000 Friedrich Cool Q & Cool S Window Air Conditioners, uh, how to pronounce those words, uh, I pronounced it right, But they're spelled differently than what it sounds like.
10:28I'm done! All right, that's it. He's done. Tariq Trotter, everybody. I'm so sorry. They're good. Wow. You said it right. You said it right, man. Absolutely. Finally, an American Airlines plane had to be diverted after six toilets stopped working mid-flight. It was weird when passengers said, six toilets aren't working, and the crew was like, the plane only has three. We have a great show. Rosalia is here tonight. Rosalia! Linda Cornelini is joining us!

I don't know Bono, but he... He texted me and he told me that he had this project, new project, this new song, The Mirror Maker, I think it's called. And then he was asking me if it made sense, certain words. He wanted to use one word. Actually, it's coming to my mind.
13:55There was this word, mamolay. Marmalade? I think, as far as I can remember, OK, I think it was mamolay. And I don't know. I was like, I never heard this word. I don't know what that means. And I searched it. I did some research and didn't exist in Spanish, standard Spanish. No. So I just told him, you know, I don't know, but feel free to invent your own language. Yeah, yeah. So he invented a word for you. I don't know. He can do that, though. He's Bono. He's a legend. He's allowed to do that. He's a legend. But isn't that cool? That's amazing. It's insane. It's a... It's mind blowing. Because when I was a kid, I used to hear his songs.
14:41Yes. It's amazing. While you're here, you're doing Saturday Night Live this Saturday. Congratulations on that. Thank you. What have you been doing in your free time? Now that you're in the city, you have free time. What are you doing? What does Rosalia do? Well. You're not on tour. I'm so happy because I finally get to do things I usually can't. Yes. When I'm on tour. and actually this Sunday I woke up and I decided I was going to church. Wow, that's it? Yeah, I decided I was... You wanted to go to church? Yeah, I was going to church, you know, and I... There's this church that I've heard about.
15:17It's called the Abyssinian Baptist Church. It's a church in Harlem. Mm-hmm. And I heard they do this amazing Sunday service, so I was really excited. I'm like, you know what? On Sunday I woke up and I'm like, I got ready. And when I got ready, I got ready. Wow. OK? Really? Yes, I shower, yes. I did my makeup, I did my hair, I put on perfume, oils, all kinds of moisturizers, guapa para Dios. Yes. Hot for God, me entiendes? And I make this look, I put this, I put on my church heel, pequeño. My Capri pants, my car, cardigans, little, modest one. And I'm giving, like, I'm here to hear the word of the Lord.
16:02Wow. Like, I'm taking it seriously, you know? Good for you. Yes, and then I go there. I get there early, and it's freezing outside. Yeah. And I see this huge line, but I'm like, I'm going to do it. Yes, of course. And then at some point, I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. But finally, the line starts moving, and I get all the way to the door. Yeah. And then there's this tall, beautiful man right there. and I look at him and he looks at me and then he, but he kind of gives me this look. He does, he says, he goes, ma 'am, I'm sorry, but you cannot enter today. And I'm like, why, you know, I'm wondering, I ask him why and he's giving me the energy of you're not on the list.
16:48Oh, yeah. Kind of energy and then he just says the church is full. What? And so I couldn't get in. So, yeah, I got rejected by the church. So you were... I didn't even know it was possible. Wow, I never heard of this. So you couldn't go... What did you end up doing? What did I... I went and I bought some new shoes. That's what the Lord would have wanted. I did. I confess. I confess I did. Isn't that unbelievable? You got all ready to go and it was packed? God said no, but my outfit said yes. Yeah, that's right. You get credit. You showed up. I showed up. You showed up. You got ready. Yes. But shout-out to Abyssinian Baptist Church, huh?
17:30One day, I really hope I can enter you again. Yes. I will go with you. I would love it. Yes. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, we'll get tickets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll go. Um... Not only was the Luxe album huge, I got to say congrats on the Luxe tour. Sold-out arena around the world. Thank you. Thank you so much. Sold-out arena. Rosalia, I can't even tell you. Again, here's some reviews. Rosalia's Luxe tour is a spectacle only she could pull off, says Rolling Stone. Rosalia has the best live show of the summer, GQ. Rosalia's astonishing Luxe tour has something that AI will never be able to replicate, The Independent.
18:09Wow.
18:13Thank you. But it's a world tour all over. It's got to be exhausting. And what you put into that. It was, yes. You put so much work. when you performed here last time, so much work went into that one performance. And I got to say, the clips I saw online were unbelievable. But there was a funny part that I laughed at. I think it was right before you did La Perla. Yes. You did a confession. El Confessionario. Yes. And people confess, and it's funny, but they have different celebrities came out and surprised you. Chaperone. Yes. I saw... Carol came also. Carol G. Carol G. Yes, yes, so many fans. Marcelo Hernández, they come and do a confession.
18:53Yes. And then you start the song. How did you get everyone to do all these confessions, all these celebrities? I mean, it seemed like everybody had something to confess. Yes, that's true, yeah. But I was so excited, you know, to bring some friends, bring, you know, some fans. Like, so many people came throughout the whole tour, and it was really amazing to hear them. I just love listening to people's stories, and it seemed like people were excited to share others, their stories, you know. It was great, but it was also, it was funny as well. It was very, very good. I thought it was important, you know, in the show to have different moments and balance the solemnidad, how solemn some songs felt in the album, and balance it on the show with some lighter, more funny moments.
19:35Did you get any chance to confess anything that you wanted to confess? Because you have the platform here, if you'd like to. Yeah. You want me to do a confession? Yeah. I'd love to. Do you have anything that you, what would you confess? Um, well. Rosalia, what have you done wrong? I know something. Ay, I mean, I wonder if you can say it. Can I give you a hint? Can I give you a hint? Yes. Your security team told us something? I mean, when you are on tour, just to give context, okay? When you are on tour. You're blushing, by the way. It's the blush from the makeup. Yeah, right, sure. No. I mean, basically, when you're on tour, you kind of, like, need to make it fun, you know, because otherwise it could be un poco rutinario, you know, you're always with the same people, and you're always every night doing the same show.
20:31The only thing that changes is the country, maybe, that you are in. Yeah. So, basically, I have a bodyguard que se llama Victor. Yeah. Shout-out to Victor. Shout-out to Victor. Victor's very nice. I've talked to... He's the best. I've talked to Victor, yeah. But it was so... Oh, my God. Sometimes I hide from Victor. You can't do that. You can't... You pay him to protect you. You can't hide from Victor. That's very bad. That's very the opposite of what he's supposed to do. I feel bad for Victor. He's actually nuts. You can't hide anymore. No, pero es la chispa de la vida, you know? It's a little bit of that.
21:10We need sometimes that, you know? Sometimes, you know, yo qué sé, I will hide a little bit or I will go a little bit faster and he has to catch me, you know, just a little. Hide a little bit. Oh my God, you're so funny. When we talked to Victor, that is exactly what I thought you were going to confess. Oh my God. And he actually sent a video of this happening. You dashing off when you were at the airport. This is real. Wait, what? They gave it to us. Thank you.
21:48Come on. By the way, one new basket. I want that. Okay. Okay, I'll get you one. I'll get you one. Next time? Yes, next time I'll bring you one, okay? Yeah, next time we're on the show, we'll have a race. Yes, okay. We'll have a race for that. Yes, we'll race. My sister got it for me for Christmas. Oh, my gosh. And I really love it.

22:30Our next guest is an Emmy-winning actress starring in the new series Crystal Lake. All episodes premiere October 15th, only on Peacock. Please welcome Linda Cardellini!
22:49Hello! Welcome back to The Tonight Show, and I want to say congratulations, because after the last time I saw you on our show since then, you won an Emmy Award for DTF. That's what I'm talking about! DTF St. Louis. Man, oh, man, you're great in that show. What did it feel like? Well, somebody's pretty excited. Yeah, good. Good, I'm happy. I'm happy that you're happy. What was that like at the moment hearing your name come? It was crazy, you know? I mean, it was amazing, magical, all the things, and it was nerve-wracking, and it just felt great, and people were so lovely about it, and, you know, I'd been there before and lost, so I was preparing myself for that feeling.
23:32Yeah. And that feeling was a little more exciting. Yeah, you were, yeah, good for you, yeah. Not only did you win an Emmy for DTF St. Louis, but the show won a total of seven Emmys. Crushed. Congratulations. Thank you. Did you get to party at the Emmys? Yes, yes, yes. The HBO did a really nice party. Oh, yeah? They had a crane machine there. Yeah. What is it? So they have a claw machine at the party? And I won. Oh, you won. What did you get there? I think I... Look at how excited I am about that, too. Yeah, why? It doesn't matter what I win, as long as I win. Yeah, you just get so excited. I won an HBO t-shirt.
24:17Wow, congratulations. Oh, my God. Thank you. You got an HBO t-shirt. I loved it. I want to talk to you about Crystal Lake, because last time we hinted to this, this is the Friday the 13th prequel. Yes. And it's frightening and scary. And, uh, but in the show, you're a character, you're Jason Voorhees' mom Yes And we find out that, uh, yeah Yeah, exactly, yeah, you know So, but we also find out that your character was a lounge singer Oh, yes, yes Which I did not know, and this is fantastic, and you have a great voice Well, okay, thanks No, you do? When did you realize you could sing? Uh, that's the reason why I got into theater in the first place I had a teacher that came to my school, Karen, she's wonderful, I love her Shut up And she came to our school and she was like, you know, everybody has to sing.
25:05And so I sang and I got called after school and she said, I would love for you to be in the play. I do a community play and I would love for you to be in it. And she gave me my first part ever in the community theater musical, which was The Music Man. And I was a pick a little, talk a little lady. Pick a little, talk a little. And here you are age 11 in The Music Man. Look how much smaller I am than everybody else. Yeah. I was tiny. You were real tiny. Oh my God. Yeah. Pick a little, talk a little. I'm the same age as the person standing next to me. You really are? Come on, bud. By the way, that's a tricky song.
25:37It's a... I can't even say pick a little, talk a little. It was really fun. I pretended to be like a little old lady was my character, and I stuffed my bra, and, you know, I was that tiny, so people started laughing, and then that was it. But the song itself, though, is tricky. It'll stick in your head for about 30 or 40 years. Do you think... Talk about Crystal Lake, because... I sing that song at Crystal Lake. Just kidding. Yeah, all you do. Do you do... Can I ask a question? And Chris, do you hear the... Yes. You do? Yes. I don't know if you guys are not a Friday the 13th person, every time you would...
26:10Like, Jason is stalking a person, there's this... Or even in the first movie where the mother is the original killer. Yes. You hear that when she's sort of... When somebody's about to get it. I heard a rumor, by the way, about the... Uh-huh. That originally it was... You want to get freaked out? That it was kill, kill, kill, ma, ma, ma. Yes, kill them, mommy, kill them. And then Manfredini took the first syllables and then hit them with reverb and made the kiki-kiki mama. No. That's what I heard, too. That's the story. That's the story. That makes it even scarier than the real thing. Oh, my gosh.
26:47Spoiler alert, I'm the mommy that kills everybody. But that's acting for you, folks. Yeah, there you go. One of the nicest people in the world. But when you're doing it, do you get scared? Do you get frightened? or you know everybody in the... Well, this is... You know, because I've sort of dabbled in the area before, but not much, and I was on the other side of it, where you're sort of the person who gets chased. This time, being the person who chases everybody is a very different feeling. So, yeah. You got to see what it's like to be on that side. Yeah, and then, you know, for the other people, it's rough, because they have to be covered in blood, or they have prosthetics, you know, like injuries, and so I kind of got off easy for the most part with that stuff.
27:24You've got some of the best teams to do this, though. Yeah, they're amazing. Like, literally, the special effects and the hair and makeup. I mean, and everybody is just out of this world. The costumes, it takes place in the 70s, and the costumes are all, like, you know, it's just aesthetically really fun to look at. Yeah, it's good, and it's great, and it's scary, and it's perfect for right now. Whoa, come on! Linda Cardellini, everybody! Crystal Lake premieres October 15th on Peacock. We're talking to Tate McRae after the break. Stick around, everybody. Pick a little, sir. Pick a little.
28:05We'll be right back.
28:27Oh, my God.
28:34Okay, welcome back to the show. Thank you so much for being here. And you were great at Charades, by the way. Thank you. Thank you for playing that. You just got back from Fashion Week in Paris. Look at this Vogue headline here. Tate McRae is going Tate McCrazy in Paris. And it was just announced that you were going to be performing at another fashion show. Yeah, Victoria's Secret. Come on.
29:01I didn't know if it was a secret or not. Yeah. But it's a big deal doing that. But I wanted to also talk about your perfume. Yes. Come on. Talk to me. Look at this. It's gorgeous. It came out last week. It's called Tate 01. Yes. What is the process of getting the right scent for you, the right perfume? Well, I've been working on it for like a year now. and I've always wanted to do perfume. I feel like it's such a pop star thing you have to do at some point is do a perfume. I go to the Paris fashion show, I have a perfume. These are all on the bucket list. Yeah, and I'm so obsessed with the bottle.
29:40I'm so obsessed with the scent, and I can't believe it's out now. How did you end up with the scent? Um... I was cooking up in the lab doing all the scents. Whoa! Yeah, it's... It's levels. It's amazing. It has a thing called ISO in it, so it smells different on everybody. I love it. Really? Yeah. So you're learning all about this stuff. Iso. I really was. Yeah. I literally was cooking up, smelling all the different things. Last time you were on our... Sorry, Taylor Swift was on our show. She talked about you, by the way. I was asking what she's listening to, and she said she was listening to Tit for Tat.
30:17Yeah. Did you hear that, that she enjoyed that song? Yeah, I was just getting a whole bunch of texts, and I was trying to find it. I couldn't really find it anywhere on my phone. And I was like, what the hell? This must be real, trying to find proof, because I'm like... Yeah, you just... Well, or you could just watch The Tonight Show. Yeah. And you wouldn't... Probably wouldn't worry about it. I'll tune in next time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just add it to your... I will, I will. Add it to your... Yeah. Yeah. Peacock must-watch list. I will. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will. For sure will. You'll never miss a moment ever again.
30:47No. I promise. So you found it eventually. I found it. Yeah. It wasn't buried that deep down there. I know. Very easy to find. Yeah, very, yeah. Yeah. Uh, all right. I found it. Yeah, you found it. Did you know that she was a fan? I didn't. No, I'd never talked to her or knew that she knew my music and all, and it was such a cool day. Yeah. It was amazing. Also, like, Tit for Tat was so stressful because I wrote the song, like, two weeks earlier, so I was, like, you know, the process was so quick. I was so nervous. Two weeks before it was out? Yeah, I was in the middle of my tour. I had, like, 89 shows, and we, like, it was crazy.
31:19Holy mackerel. I don't understand how you guys worked as hard. It's amazing. Yeah, and I was in, like, the last ten shows, and I wanted to make a deluxe, and went to Nashville for one day, wrote that song, and I was like, I should probably put this out, like, in two weeks, so... And then, you know, Taylor Swift is like, I think it's a good song. Yeah, it was nice. That's a good thumbs-up, man. Yeah. It was so cool. I gotta say, you crushed it at Lollapalooza. Thank you. I was... You know I'm a fan, but what you did at Lollapalooza was legendary. Thank you. You actually dipped yourself in gold.
31:55Come on! It was the raddest thing. How did you come up with the idea to dip yourself in gold? I mean, me and my creative director, Ludo, had been dreaming of it for so many months. And he did, like, my Met Gala dress, which was gold. And we just had this vision of, like, getting a bathtub onstage. And, I mean, it sounds insane. Is it paint? What is it? It's like Nickelodeon slime. Oh. It wasn't sexy at all. Like, I'm lying in the bathtub, like... Like, trying to, like, put it on my body, like... And then I'm, like, crawling out of the bathtub. Oh, my God. Um, but it was... it was so fun. I'm sorry.
32:39It went legendary and it broke the internet. Thank you. Congratulations. Uh, now, uh, you have a new release now. This is Housewife. This is the big deal. Oh.
32:50Fans have been hoping they release something, and you have a new single come out October 15th. Yeah. Housewife. Is there anything that we're allowed to say about this song yet? Yeah, I mean, yeah, it comes out next Thursday. I'm so excited. I haven't released in a while. And it's just kind of about a woman who can't be contained, and, um... Um... Just announced it today, so it's such a big deal. We did, and we shot it in the south of France, and it was so magical. and it's so fun, so. Some people have said that you dropped Easter eggs, and so did we know that this song was coming out? Should I have known?
33:25Um, yeah. Like, I should have tuned into this and I show you to the film on Easter eggs. All right, T-Shirt. All right, all right. Yeah, you're right, you're right. I mean, my fans in particular, like, we drop Easter eggs all the time, and they get none of them. Like, they'll... they'll always catch on to, like, things that are completely wrong. Like, they'll be like, oh, she wore a sunglass, so her next single's called Sunglass. Like, what? Like, like, it just, they never get, like, the most obvious Easter eggs. And so this was literally in my Lala set. Like, it was, it said Housewife when the set started.
34:01Yeah, it's almost not even an Easter egg. Yeah, and it was like three months ago. Actually telling everyone, I have a new song called Housewife. Yeah. They're like, what is she trying to say? It's like, no, she's telling you she has a new song called Housewife. Come on. Congrats on Tato 1. We can't wait to hear the new single. Tay McCray, everyone, her single, Housewives, is out October 15th. Tato 1 is available now. We'll be right back, everybody. That's what we do.
34:44It's deep water. Our next guest can be seen at the Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon, October 16th through the 18th. Please welcome the very funny Emma Willman.
35:07Thank you so much. What a treat to be here. Thank you, guys. So, I just moved, and I've got this new landlord who's a conservative doomsday prepper named Gary. And he's a great landlord. I really like Gary, and I want him to like me, too. So what I've been doing to butter him up, whenever I see him outside in his favorite outfit, which is head-to-toe camouflage, I'll start walking by him, and then I'll go, oh, didn't see you there, Gary. Thank you. It's so silly, but he loves it. He's like, really? It's the camo. It's the camo. Thank you. It works. It's limited edition. Thank you. The first time I met Gary, I didn't know what to think.
35:49He was coming back from a hunting trip with his nine-year-old son, whose name is Hunter. And Hunter was excited. He tried to show me a picture of them holding a giant dead deer. Now, I'm from Maine. I grew up around dead deers. I was about to say, cool. But before I could respond, Gary goes, Hunter, really? Don't show her stuff like that. Read the room. We've talked about this. I raised you better than that. have some consideration. Clearly, she is a vegetarian. Thank you, Gary. And I'm not a vegetarian, but I look very plant-based, so... It's okay. Thank you. Thank you. I'll tell him you guys said that.
36:32Thank you. So I laughed, and I said, Gary, I'm not a vegetarian, but thank you for the consideration. And he looked me right in the eyes, and he goes, I was just trying to let you know. I support gay people. So nice. So nice. This is my favorite part of the whole situation. Where Gary and I live is a neighborhood in Manhattan called the East Village. And Manhattan's a very progressive city. The East Village is arguably the most progressive, hipster part of Manhattan. Here's how you know you're in a very hipster, super progressive neighborhood. The protest signs get extremely specific. There was a protest sign on our building that said, Disabled Black Cuban Trans Lives Matter.
37:21Yes, they do. Yes, they do. Absolutely for sure. Yes, I agree. 100 % agreement. Disabled Black Cuban Trans Lives Matter. That's a very specific sign. Like, it's so specific, I know who wrote it. I know. I know who that is. that's Troy in apartment 5F. I know him. So that's the area. Then you've got Gary's son, Hunter, who's nine years old, and this kid, he's got a rat tail. A rat tail haircut. This is a very bold haircut for the neighborhood. And I know what it feels like to be different, so I want Hunter to feel supportive, so the first time I saw the rat tail, I tried to compliment it. I went, I love that rat tail.
38:08And he goes, what do you love about it? And I said, damn, I didn't think there was gonna be a follow-up question about the rat tail. I should have rehearsed. I panicked. I said, it looks like you're gonna get the cheese. I didn't know what to say. The rat part, the hair part. How do I pick? I'm stressed about this kid, though, because, okay, he's got a rat tail haircut. His dad wears head-to-toe camo. They go hunting every weekend. He's going to school in the neighborhood with kids named Kale Chip and Rainbow Flag. I'm nervous for him. And I have a reason to be. So I saw him the other day in the elevator.
38:48He's on his way to school, and the rat tail was tucked into his shirt, hidden. And I was like, hey, is everything okay? And he goes, kids at school are calling me Ratatouille. And I was like, look, look, they're calling you Ratatouille. They're making fun of the rat tail because you go to school in this very hipster progressive neighborhood. Like, your people, the rat tail people, they're out there. They're just not in this neighborhood. They're all over this country. It's good for you. It's not great for me. I mean, if we're being totally honest right now, the rat tails are in the White House.
39:24They're doing it. They're thriving. Thank you. Thank you. The rat tails are thriving. They've got a lot of power. It honestly, saying that to him, it felt like a reverse It Gets Better campaign. If you're not familiar, It Gets Better is a campaign for closeted gay kids that aren't safe to be themselves. Maybe some kid deep in the South and a teacher takes him aside and is like, Timmy, look, things are tough right now, but someday, someday you can be yourself in a city like Manhattan. You can live a full life and have love and have freedom in a city like Manhattan. And then I'm in Manhattan looking at Hunter like, you got to get to Daytona Beach.
40:14Daytona Beach, Florida. You got to get there. Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Come on. That's how you do it. Emma Wilming!
