You're here. You made it. I'm so excited about this. From your world champion New York Knicks, Carl Anthony Towns is my guest tonight.

1:26Oh, the entire Knicks team was here right after they won the title, and it was such a great night. Can we see the photo I took with Carl Anthony Towns? It was a great... I loved it. Oh, God, I love it.

1:40Let's get to some news, guys. President Trump is hosting China's President Xi Jinping for a two-day state visit, and yesterday, Trump greeted Xi at the airport with a big ceremony, including a military flyover. Yeah, let's see how that went.

2:01Can we see a photo of Trump's reaction? Oh, yeah. It's like he just saw his approval rating. You know? It's just like, oof. Meanwhile, look at President Xi when it happened. Ten minutes into his visit, he's already over it. You know what I'm saying? Meanwhile, tonight, Trump hosted President Xi for a state dinner at the White House. Trump walked into the dining room and said, where the hell is she? And the staffer said, the president of China is right there. If you're talking about Melania, we have no idea. Okay. The menu for tonight's dinner included sesame-crusted sea bass, braised baby bok choy, roasted garden eggplant, and two Big Macs with large fries and a Diet Coke.

2:41But this is nice. President Xi is sending two panda bears to America. Isn't that nice? Then Trump was like, and I'm sending China our most prized animal, Jimothy the raccoon. That's right. That's for you. Today, Trump described China's president as strong, vibrant, and fit. And in response, she was like, and you are very kind. Trump hosted Xi Jinping for an official state dinner, and we actually got a hold of what they talked about at dinner. Isn't this a great dinner I'm hosting? I'm a little surprised. For such a grand occasion, why aren't we in a giant ballroom? Well, about that. Do you at least have a large, triumphal arch I can admire?

3:22Well, about that. What about a cultural center with your name on it? Well, about that. You at least have a great wall, right? You're always talking about walls. Well, the thing is... Forget the wall. Can I just admire your nice, clear, reflecting pool? Well, you see... Wow, you don't waste time on any vanity projects. You must really be focused on your people. Well, it's funny you mention it. Your approval rating must be sky high. Well... Your party must be on track to do great in the midterms. Well... And your wife must be all over you. Well... Anyway, I appreciate you paying for this dinner.

3:51Whee! Oh,

3:58he's even going up and no. Whee! Whee! I think. And then? Whee! It was a wild day for the banned White House reporters today. In an overnight ruling, a judge ordered Trump to let them back in. But this morning, he was still trying to keep them out before finally caving a few hours later. Yeah, the press pool is now fully restored. Yeah. While the reflecting...

4:25While the reflecting pool is like, must be nice. All right. You can't believe it. Switching gears to some business news, McDonald's announced that they're moving to an open kitchen layout so customers can see their McCafe drinks being prepared. People are like, cool, can we also see our food being prepared? And McDonald's like, uh, you can, but you can't unsee it. You know, I will say that. Look at this. I don't know if you saw this. I saw that Lowe's is launching a drone delivery service with DoorDash. Yeah. I like the idea of a person who wants to tackle a DIY project but is too lazy to drive to Lowe's.

5:05Bleep, bleep, bleep. Maybe 300 2x4s. And finally, thieves in Australia have robbed several beekeepers of more than 800 ,000 bees. Right now, police are like, we have a feeling they'll be punished soon enough. We have a great show. Give it up for the Roots right now. Yes, man, it's the whole acid.

Yeah, but we got fun cameos and stuff like that. It's gonna be good. Oh, it's good. I also want to quickly mention September is Hunger Action Month, and one of my favorite organizations, Feeding America, is doing amazing work helping people across the country.

I'm so happy you came back here. Congratulations on this. Are you used to hearing NBA champion connected to your name? I mean, this is it. For the rest of your life. It's special, man. The Knick fan in me can't believe I'm still hearing that the Knicks won a championship, but the player in me is super excited to be part of this moment. And I knew I would get here one day. It must be a surreal summer for you. It's a summer I can't explain.

12:12Yeah. Well, also, because you got a second ring. Yeah, yeah. You got married, bud. Yeah, yeah. Look at that. Oh, beautiful bride. Wow, she's in a 12 out of 10. Yeah, she's a 100 out of 10. She's a knockout. She's awesome. Congratulations to you. Thank you so much. And then also, at the wedding, your fellow Knick players showed up. Yes, yes. And there you are there with everybody. Amazing. I mean, look at him. As you can tell... Now, which out of your Knick teammates was the MVP wedding guest. First off, we got to talk about how everyone you could tell has been drinking. No, I know. Everyone's saying, yeah.

12:55It's a good wedding. He's in the zone right there. What? Hey. He's in the zone. Oh, man. Shout out to OG. Dude, I got to say, I think one of the great things about you and the team is, and I don't know if it bothers you or embarrasses you to hear, but you're also good looking.

13:15Everyone, you are the best looking basketball team around. I hope my wife agrees. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Everybody loves you guys so much. I know you're doing this thing, too. You're a big card club. Yes, I am. I am. And you have a thing called Big Bodega's Breaks? Yeah, it is. Talk to me about Big Bodega's Breaks. I mean, the fans gave me the name, so that's pretty cool to know that the fans gave me an amazing nickname that I'm going to have to live with the rest of my life. You have a lot of nicknames, though. I just call you Cap. Yeah, nah, I just, uh, I'm just super It was a childhood passion I had.

13:48It was a hobby I loved. It was my first job before I got this gig as an NBA player. What, collecting cards or dealing them or selling them? Yeah, selling cards, getting a shop ready of Spencer Sports cards. I had become proficient at this new thing at the time. It was called eBay. And... Really? I'm aging myself a little bit now. No, not at all. No, that's definitely still around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still doing a thing, right? Yeah, eBay's around. Yeah, I mean, you have whatnot and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. eBay's the real deal. Live, all that. But it was just a hobby. It's something I loved.

14:19I always wanted to get closer to my favorite athletes. Were they basketball cards or baseball, too? Yeah, it was basketball, football, baseball. Actually, my first card, I'll never forget, actually got me Beats by Dre headphones. So shout-out to Tim Lincecum. I actually pulled one of the Tim Lincecum card during his Cy Young year. What do you call that? You call it a pull? Or you call it when you... A hit? I would say a hit. It was a big hit at the time for products of that time. It was an out of 10 Tim Lincecum gold signature. I'll never forget it. So they don't use it. They got you Beats headphones?

14:47Got me Beats by Dre headphones. Come on. Full circle, my rookie year, I'm with Beats by Dre, and I'm representing the headphones in Times Square, which would future later on become my home. So you're like, oh, my God, dude. Come on. Wow, full circle. You get one of those cards. Do you remember ever ripping a pack and opening up and finding a Carl Anthony Towns card in there? Yes. Yes. I was a... Gotta be surreal, right? You're like, that's me? It's hard, because when I was a rookie, I did that, and everyone was like, that's a valuable card. And I was like, that has no value to it. And it was...

15:22It's crazy. I just remember why it was so special, because my mom had never seen me on a trading card, neither have I, but I was just surprised to see, you know... She was just so proud, and my dad is so proud. I remember my dad was too proud. He took the card away from me, so I never actually got to keep it... Good job, Dad. Good job, Dad. Yeah. Keep him humble. Keep him humble. Is that him? Yeah, there he is. That's your dad. Come on, Carl! Carl, come on, bud. Keep him humble. You're right, you're right, you're right. Keep him humble. I love it. But we're less than one month away from the new season tipping off.

15:56Yesterday, ESPN released their list of top 100 NBA players. And check out this guy. Number 16. On the top 100. That's you, bud! Hey, you know what's crazy? I see that ranking, and shout out to ESPN. and to the fans and everyone who looks at me like that, but I would say my dad's first thing when he looks at that, he's probably saying, wow, that's a good shooting form, guy. Yeah, see, yeah, he does have good form right there. Man, you see that shot I created? I did that. Exactly. All right, man, you did that. I can't take that away. But when you see a rating like this, 16 out of all 100, I mean, it's amazing.

16:29But if you see your ranking on NBA 2K, does that... Why do you want to start laughing? It's like you did that. I didn't know. Does it motivate you to be better? You go, dude, I'm better than that ranking? Yeah, for sure. Every time. And there's not a time. I feel the real-life Carl's better than the virtual Carl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always believe that. You're an amazing player to watch. You're such a great athlete. That means a lot coming from you. I love you, bud. You know what? I try not to bother you, you know, when you're at the game. I tried to get your get-back for you. I was trying to untie Josh's shoes at the wedding.

17:01It didn't work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't get close enough. Thank you. Every time I was going to go, Jordan's like, don't do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't do it. I won't do it. Last time you were here, the whole team came, and Mike Brown was here, your coach. And he started singing Who Let the Dogs Out. And I know, and this is you and Jalen's reaction. Jalen Moore didn't want to be seen. It's crazy. You win a championship with a guy, and you don't want to be seen with the guy. No. Will Who Let the Dogs Out be back this season? I hope not. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. You said no. I've seen him, what, last week?

17:35We had a panel. We talked at a panel. And he started the panel getting everyone involved singing. No! He did it again? Yes. And it was private. That means he did it on his own accord. He wanted to do that. Coach, you have to stop doing that. No more who let the dogs out. My gosh. You're coming off the championship. Pressure's on. Tell me about the mindset coming into this season. Is it cliche if I say it's 0-0 again? That was kind of the same thing we said every playoff game. And when we won and we kept winning, it was great. but this season is about us just going out there and starting again at 0-0, being that same hungry team, that team that's hungry to prove everyone wrong.

18:12Yes! Go out there. Yes! The underdogs! And you did it, bud! We'll all be rooting for you. And when you win the championship again, will you come back and bring the trophy back? You have two of them, man. You have two trophies. That's right. Bring two trophies. That's what I'm talking about. Carl Anthony Towns! The Knicks season kicks off October 20th on NBC and streams on Peacock. We'll be right back with Sienna Miller, everybody.

18:49Our next guest is a Golden Globe-nominated actor who you can see in the new HBO series, War. It premieres Thursday, October 1st, on HBO and HBO Max. Everyone, please welcome Sienna Miller!

19:07Come on! Whoa. Yeah, of course. That's so good. Come on. We think about everything over here. We love you so much. Welcome back. Big news. You got engaged since the last time you were on our show. The day after I saw you. That's... Congratulations. It was the day after? It was the day after, yeah. Went for a walk in Central Park. Popped the old question. And you just had the baby. Yeah, it was... I was not looking my best. Wait, did you know it was gonna happen? No, not in the slightest. And I was, and when I kind of got a feeling something was up, I was like, please, God, not now. I had the greasiest hair sort of stained on the T-shirt.

19:43It was, it was, yeah. It was full postpartum beauty. So a nice romantic stroll, and you're like, oh, this is cool. Yeah, and then why is he being weird? Yes, he was. Suddenly, suddenly, chat-chat, and then quiet, and a bit sweaty-palmed. And you knew something, you were like, no, not now. I was like, please, God, no. I was like, oh, this is romantic. Like, look at the bird. You met him at a Halloween party. Yes. And you were dressed as David Bowie. Well, yes. I have a picture of you from that party. You do? Yeah. Looking good. Yeah, my friend Wendy Rowe did that makeup. It was good. And then we got together seven years later at the same Halloween party.

20:22Isn't that weird? Wait, explain what you mean. So when we met, we didn't get together. And then seven years later at that same Halloween party was where we first... Wow. Smooched. That's special. Yeah. So a Halloween smooch. I know. I wonder what an All Hallows... It must mean something great. Yeah, there is something witchy about it. Witchy. Yeah, I love it. I think it's fun. Wizardy. Yes, wizardy, yes. You also got a big deal. I didn't get to talk to you about this. You got to see your favorite band. One of your favorite bands, Oasis. Oh, my favorite, yes. Your favorite. Yeah. Oasis Reunite.

20:53Yes. You saw them reunite. I was there at the first show in Cardiff. I'm so stupid. but I didn't go to any of the concerts. What? I know. You love them. I really love them. And you know what it is? Jimmy. I feel like I jinx people. I don't like to go to their thing. I like to wait till it's a hit. It was a hit. I know. It was a big hit. And then it came to New York as a hit. I know. It was here. But they're coming back. They're coming back. They're coming back. Yes. They are coming back. Yeah. And we should do, we should do Nebworth. You should come over to see them play Nebworth. They're doing Nebworth?

21:21Yeah. And you can camp. I mean, I can't see you in a tent. We'll get you like a one-way. I'm so outdoorsy. You are. Noel, Liam. You've interviewed them, right? Yeah, I've had them both on the show. They're the nicest. I was always hoping, like, why are they not reunited? I know. I was in love with them when I was like 13, and then I now am friends with Noel. I've somehow orchestrated this in my life. It's amazing, and I remember watching it, and I was like, if my 14-year-old self could see me now. Right? Like, high-fiving him after. Did you talk to him? Did you know the reunion was going to happen?

21:52No, I was, like, every time I saw him, I was like, like, that annoying, like, everybody in his life. And he was like, well, it's never gonna happen. He calls me Windy Miller, not for any reason. There's a character called Windy Miller, like an old... It was before my time. Anyway, irrelevant. Yeah. Although he did once dedicate Champagne Supernova to Windy, which was me, but that was before Oasis got back together. Yeah, it was epic. I want to talk about War, your new series on HBO. This is a drama that's about a high-profile couple getting divorced. It's war. And you play a famous actress. Is it strange or fun to play an actress?

22:31That's what you do? It's interesting to play somebody in a familiar circumstance who's very different to you. She's quite narcissistic, I would say. And not particularly involved in how anyone else is feeling around her. And that is not you. And that is not me. It's a drama, but you said you have a lot of fun on set because I've worked with you and you are the most fun person. We did have a lot of fun. You played a game. We played a game called What's in Your Mouth. What's in Your Mouth. Obviously, like, when you're, like, nine episodes into something... I was also pregnant for this entire show, but not pregnant in the show, so by the time...

23:03I just wanted to eat things anyway. But we played this game in the green room, What's in Your Mouth, where we'd line up as a cast and blindfold people and find things to put in their mouth. Yes, that's fun. What's in your mouth? What's in your mouth? Like, we had a... Well, I thought it could be kind of fun. We played What's in Your Mouth tonight. This is your idea. I don't know what's under there. So I don't know what's... So how does it work? I blindfold... Put that on. Uh-huh. And trust. I always... I always will trust. No peeking. No, I would never do that. Ooh! Then we're gonna play it three times, and I have to guess what's in my mouth.

23:37You have to guess what's in your mouth. What should we go with first? What do we think? I don't want any spoilers. Okay. I'm gonna put something in your mouth. Open your mouth. It's scary, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Eat it. Oh. What's in your mouth? What's in your mouth? Oh, all right. Like a jerky? Like a big jerky? Yes, yes. Oh, wait. What were you expecting? Well, you were a little aggressive with that spoon. It kind of felt like... No, because you were kind of... I felt like I was getting attacked. A little bit more gentle. Don't hurt your teeth. No, you just... Okay. I felt like being at my dentist.

24:15Open up. What's in your mouth? What's in your mouth?

24:23Oh! Oh!

24:30Wow. That's definitely hot. Pickled jalapenos? Yes! This is a crazy game. It's crazy. And you feel quite vulnerable. Wow. And now it feels like an episode of Hot... The song doesn't make it cuter. I'm like, nope, all right.

24:54Yeah. Pop rock. Yes. Come on, man. You know what might be fun? Here's what we're going to do. Yeah. I have a take on this game. What's in your mouth? Yeah. You have to take something, just have it in your mouth, but keep it in your mouth. And I can't look at what you, I can't know what you have in your mouth. Okay. So put the cover over it. Take one of these things. I know it's one of those, and I'll tell you what you have in your mouth.

25:25All right, ready? Mm-hmm. How's it going, bud? Good. Yeah, good, huh? Yeah, how's that... How's that baby corn doing? Yeah! Did I get it right? Wait, come on, bud. Tiana Miller! War premieres Thursday, October 1st on HBO and HBO Max. We'll be right back with more tonight, Stick around, everybody. I'm right.

26:02Our next guest is the president and CEO of the biggest sports league in the world, Formula One. Please welcome Stefano Domenicali. Stefano, welcome to The Tonight Show. You look sharp, bud. I had the pleasure, the great pleasure, of going to my first F1. It was the Grand Prix of Miami. And I got to experience F1. It was great and fast and loud and everything I thought it was. And I got to hang out with you. I got to meet you there. And we had a good time. It was a good time. That's a good... Yeah, that's right outside. That's right outside your office is backing in there. It was right outside your office.

26:41It was a good view from your office. It was a good time. Good time, Jimmy. Can you imagine? He, your Formula One, did the Tonight Show. Wow. Yeah. That's phenomenal for us. I mean, we are just, you know, in the U.S., trying to get out from the water in the middle of the big beast of NFL, NBA, but we're getting... We're gonna be there. We're gonna be there. Really? Of course. And, yeah, with our help. Of course. Let's do it. We'll do it. Let's do it. You were so nice to me, and it was so fun. I loved it. I loved getting to know the drivers, and everyone was great, and every team was interesting.

27:12It was so fun. and I had the best time. I didn't want to bother you too much, but you took care of me. And your family's great, too, by the way. And then I left you alone and I went to this restaurant, one of the best restaurants I've been to. Do you remember this? Oh, yeah, absolutely. So I went to a place called the Surf Club. Yeah. Thomas Keller. It's an amazing... Amazing place. Amazing place, amazing chef. And then who walks in but you and your family? I go, I just, I don't want to bother you, but it looks like I'm stalking you. Yeah. You know, I'm like... Papa, can I say something? I got something special, because for us, it was a special dinner.

27:42You know, business dinner was quite long normally. And we were waiting. And you come by and we say hello. We hug each other. And then you finish earlier than us and we were still there waiting for the dinner. Yeah. And you were amazing. I've got something to show to you first and to all of us. Remember that? You bring us a pizza with this piece. I said, yeah. On the delivery pizza. You can actually have. I kept it. No, I had it. This is definitely a delivery just in case. Jimmy Fallon. I can't believe you have the note. I can't believe because we're starving, so you save our dinner. No, you know what happened?

28:18I talked to the manager, Laura Cunningham, that was her name, and I said, actually, the founder, of the restaurant was there, and I talked to her, I said, I want to send him something funny. I go, can I send him like a half-eaten meatball or something? And so, she goes, we don't have that, I'm not doing that. We're a Michelin-star restaurant, we're not going to do that. I go, what can I send him? That would be funny. And she goes, why don't you have a pizza delivery from next door? Yeah. So I made them not serve you food. You made you up at night, yeah. And then deliver you pizza. It was great.

28:50It was true. And you had to know. Yeah. You know, I've got a family. You know, you're the hero of my daughter, so I wanted to bring home to prove that you were with me. Come on. Bah, the best. I want to mention a couple of things here about F1 season so far. All Grand Prix races this year have been sold out. I mean, and it is a giant crowd. It is so fun. Go and bring the whole family. It's a blast to go. 3.7 million people have attended race weekends this year, up from 3.4 million last year, so it's growing. And six new circuit attendance records have been broken this year. Things are happening with F1.

29:30It's growing. It's growing. I heard that globally, you hope to hit a billion F1 fans soon? Yeah, we are very close. We are very close. We are almost one billion. We hopefully come back here, Jamie, to celebrate that target, that number. But it's huge. I mean, F1 is all around the world. It's a world sport. We are going in 24 places around the world, actually, tonight, after this incredible opportunity to go to Baku in Azerbaijan, then to Malaysia, then Singapore. And we are attracting young audiences, and now also a lot of females that are following us. And that's great. That's right. Women are getting into F1.

30:04Oh, yeah. 40 % of new fans are women. So that's great. Why do you think... Why are women getting into this? I think the love of a sport, the love of what is all around, I mean, it's more than a sport. It's an entertainment platform. You have a lot of fun when you're coming. We have good drivers, 22, very good in also connecting with the younger generation, so that is really what we love to do and we need to keep pushing. I found that just following F1 and some of the drivers on Instagram, so that helps because you get to know all the drivers and you get to see them. They all have very good social teams, but you get to know them and they're kind of characters.

30:43You see, you know, Lewis or whoever it is, you start to know everyone's thing and you go, oh, yeah. So then when you watch the race, you go, I know what they're dealing with. And it almost becomes kind of like a soap opera. No, it's something that, of course, they are professional drivers, but they know they are part of a bigger ecosystem. Now they, you know, because normally you see them with a glove, with a helmet, with an overall, so you don't recognize them. And then they are now we have opened up for them to be known. You know, those faces. Yeah. And their personality. Personality behind the scene is important to understand.

31:12It's a proper business and it's a great place where I hope that more and more Americans can come. And really, we have Austin, we have Las Vegas. Yes. So join us and come. Miami, Austin, Las Vegas in November, right? Yeah, 21st of November. But what you're doing in Vegas is insane, by the way. You actually closed down the streets and raced through the streets. Yes. On the street, we have the track. I mean, at the beginning when we went there, the first time people would say, you're crazy. No one knows who we are. I said, listen, stand by, wait. And now everyone is coming, so we love it. And 21st of November, almost sold out the ticket.

31:46Actually, I sold out, but you come, you may find a place. Yeah, yeah, it will make it work, yeah. Did you ever think that you'd be doing this and be the... No way. I'm very honest with you on that. No way. When did you get involved with cars? Well, I was a kid that was born in Niemö, a city close to Bologna with his racetrack. And, you know, you love the sport. And then at the end of the university, I sent my CV to Ferrari. They hired me, and, well, now I did a lot of things because I passed through 23 years in Ferrari, then five years as CEO of Lamborghini, and then almost six years heading for one.

32:16So I'm very lucky, very... You're doing a great job. No, I'm very proud of my two. Formula One, it's happening. Thank you. Thank you. You're doing a great job. Thank you, Green. I will say also, the F1, the Formula One, the movie, with Brad Pitt was fantastic. Giant hit. I loved it. I got nominated for an Oscar. Is there a talk? Actually, we had an Oscar for the music. You got the Oscar? Come on. That's what I'm talking about.

32:44Possible for the music. It was great. Great, great adrenaline. Great, great stuff. And actually, through the movie, we're in touch with a different audience that didn't know us. So it was good. Yeah. And a possible sequel? Stay tuned. And I think that... Can we say that we're talking about it? Yeah, you can say that. I'm sure. All right. There's going to be a sequel, everybody. Get ready. Congrats with all that, Tim Burton. You're the best. Thank you, Tim. Stefano, Domena Cali! We'll be right back with more Tonight Show. Come on, bye. You killed it. That was great!

33:25Our next guest can be seen at the Comedy Connection in Providence, Rhode Island, January 7th, making his Tonight Show debut, please welcome the very funny Gary Simons.

33:44What's up, what's up, what's up, Tonight Show? Yes, you may be seated. You may be seated. Thank you so much. It's good to be here. I'm Gary. I'm originally from a small town called South Windsor, Connecticut. They made a documentary about where I'm from. Came out a few years ago. It's called Get Out. Which I only bring it up because the way I found out that another black family moved into my town was that white people kept coming up to me, calling me David. And I remember I was like 12 years old. I was at the store with my mom, and I turned down an aisle, and I saw a black kid. And I was like, David?

34:31And he turned and he was like, Gary.

34:42It's crazy growing up in Connecticut. Like, I swam growing up. That was my sport. That's what I was good at. I became the first black captain of my high school swim team. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My family was proud, too. They used to call me Obama Phelps. That's just two last names. And they weren't even unique with the formula. Like, I have a cousin who plays chess, and they call her Obama Queen's Gambit. I remember I'd be at my swim meets, and I would get up on the block, and I'd hear the announcer go, Swimmers, take your mark. Get set. Let's go, Obama Phil!

35:21Yes, we can swim!

35:34I live in New York now. I live in New York now. I live with my girlfriend, and things are great with my girlfriend. We try and do cute things to feel closer together. Like, recently we were hanging out, and I was like, hey, how about we play a game where we both say something that we notice about the other person that we don't think they realize? And I was going to say something like, oh, you don't realize, like, your laugh really brings up a room, which is sweet. But she went first. And she was like, oh, well, you know, actually, you know, sometimes when you drink water, you open your eyes so wide and stare at the drink like you've never had water before.

36:16And I was like, time out, time out, stop, time out, stop, time out, stop. I don't want to play no more. Because I was playing because I love you, and you're clearly playing to win. Like, I wrote you, like, a poem, and then you wrote me a Kendrick Lamar-level diss track. Like, certified lover boy, certified dehydrated. And then she was surprised. I was upset. And I was like, you just told me I drink water like a newborn baby. And then she told me not to overthink it, which got me more upset, because I'm an overthinker. And I feel like if you know someone who's an overthinker, you do not tell us that we're overthinking it.

36:54We know. And it's insulting to think that you would think that we haven't thought. That we're overthinking it. Like, we don't need your underthinking thoughts. All right, but overall, things are good with my girlfriend. Things are good with my girlfriend. We actually, we recently... Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. We recently, we walked from the top of Manhattan to the bottom of Manhattan. I didn't want to do it. Mostly because she kept calling it tip to tip.

37:27She would look me in my eyes and say this. She'd be like, Gary, are you ready to go tip to tip? Can you handle tip to tip? And I was like, yo, tip to tip is what we do on boys' night. Like, that's not the same. I prefer if you call it end to end. She was like, that's what we do on girls' night. I was like, fine.

37:51But we do it. We do it. We walk from the top of Manhattan to the bottom of Manhattan. And if you've never done it, it's 13 miles. That's a half marathon, if you walk it right. We walked it wrong. We walked, like, 16, 17 miles. My feet hurt. I was tired. I was in a bad mood. I had thoughts I'm not proud of. I remember as we were walking, I thought to myself for a second. I thought for a second, I was like, I don't know if I would have survived the civil rights marches. And keyword survive, survive, meaning I would have done it, I just don't know if I lived to the end of it. because I would have said yes if they asked me, if they were like, Gary, we're boycotting the buses.

38:28They're making sense to back the bus. We're not doing that no more. We're marching. I'd have been like, yeah, yeah, yeah. How long? Selma to Montgomery? Tip to tip. Thank you very much. I've been Gary Simons.

38:47Come on, bud.

38:51Gary Simons, hey. Not bad. See Gary at the Comedy Connection in Providence, Rhode Island, January 7th. We'll be right back, everybody. Standing up, not goodbye.
