A
And we're live on Matchday as Doug reaches for a buffalo wing. He's got it. Oh, and he's gone for a can of Pepsi, too. What a finish. There's no doubt about it. It just tastes better. Matchdays deserve Pepsi.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Saving your week. One slab of bacon at a time. And my favorite short order cook is here. Jimmy Faila.
- [00:36]
A
Jimmy.
- [00:37]
B
Jimmy. You were at Jackie Heinrich's wedding.
- [00:39]
A
The Floating Patriot Awards.
- [00:41]
B
It was.
- [00:42]
A
It was like a Fox field trip.
- [00:43]
B
She was absolutely beautiful.
- [00:44]
A
She looks.
- [00:45]
B
Her husband looked very dapper, very stunning. What a beautiful couple. But she looked gorgeous.
- [00:50]
A
She looked. I mean this. And I'm used to seeing her on tv, work with her a long time. They really, like, elevated the game. Apparently, though, we're not supposed to be tipping. I didn't. I had no. I mean, you bring me into midtown Manhattan, show me a girl that pretty. Your Honor. You know, you get out some greenery for the scenery. You know, time was. But I guess he's a congressman or something. You can't.
- [01:09]
B
I thought you were tipping the congressman. Cause it's his little white coat.
- [01:12]
A
No, you can't tip him. He's in Congress. Yeah, we'd be taking a perp walk out of here. But it was great. And she looked gorgeous, and everybody did. And you know what's funny? If I could for a second. The thing about being at a wedding full of TV people is they might all be hammered, but they're so good at talking for a living, they actually look very presentable. So it's like everyone on the boat was, like, actually finding conversation. Then when the boat docked, they look like they were still on it, like, walking to their Ubers. It was like, you know. But they were finding conversation. They present well.
- [01:40]
B
Good for you.
- [01:41]
A
I'll take it.
- [01:42]
B
I was taking one for the team in Tulsa.
- [01:44]
A
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- [01:45]
B
Great time. That was great. I had a phenomenal time. Wonderful club there. And if you are in Tulsa, go to Bricktown. It's amazing. And ask for Joe, ask for Philip, ask for Wayne. They will take wonderful care of you. I had such a good time. And it was Father's Day yesterday. Happy Father's Day.
- [02:06]
A
You have no idea. You know that? It's 17 years of this. Yeah, 17 years since Maury Povich looked. Me. I'm kidding. You are the father. No, we had a great Father's Day. So Lincoln is actually. Because he graduates high school this week on his senior trip. So we had Father's Day a week early. Because he was down in Wildwood, New Jersey. You know what Jenny and I did for Father's Day? Well, that's, I mean, you know, Jenny, you get these farm girls, you know, unsupervised. It's always breeding season. She's like, it's June, let's get, let's go. But we made grilled cheeses. Jenny had smoked ribs, so we made sourdough grilled cheeses with cheddar and Swiss.
- [02:46]
B
And the sourdough that she made.
- [02:47]
A
Yeah, it's world class. The greatest thing in the world with, you know, smoked ribs on the grilled cheese. It was amazing.
- [02:52]
B
So I'm a huge fan of adding protein to grilled cheese. You're supposed to, whether it's shredded buffalo chicken. I've even been doing salmon. Like I, I poach a piece of salmon and then I mix it with mayo and Greek yogurt, capers, relish.
- [03:08]
A
That's gorgeous.
- [03:09]
B
Yeah. And then with three different kinds of cheese, of course, on gluten free bread. Because I'm boring. You know what I made last night?
- [03:16]
A
Give it to me.
- [03:17]
B
Which was awesome. So this is one of those things that I saw on Instagram and I will do it like once a week from now on. Chicken breasts, you score them so like an inch score so they cook a little bit faster. You do a layer of tomato sauce and then you put your chicken breast down and then you take ricotta cheese, fresh lemon juice, fresh basil, salt and pepper, and you just smather it on the chicken breast and another layer of sauce and the mozzarella and fresh parmesan. Bake it in foil for 35 minutes, take the foil off, bake it for another 15 to 20. It was incredible.
- [03:51]
A
And then when you're eating it, they put the cigar out on your neck or do you do that like in the forehead? Like what? Because if you have TV hits the next day, it's a lot of COVID up. No, that sounds so. It sounds amazing.
- [04:01]
B
Then we had corn on the cob with Tajin and butter.
- [04:04]
A
Oh, Tahin.
- [04:05]
B
Oh, I love Tahin. I went through a Tahin shrimp avocado salad. Oh, God, it was like a protein festival.
- [04:12]
A
I went through a Tajin phase. There's a bar around the block from here, Lolita, that puts like Tahin on the rim of every glass. And that's when I started drinking it with one of their wacky drinks. And it was a. When it first gets into your life, it belongs on everything. Yes, because it's spicy, but it's got a nice little feel I had it
- [04:29]
B
for the first time on vacation in Costa Rica. Yeah.
- [04:31]
A
So there you go. And now it's going to be in every down bathroom.
- [04:33]
B
But it makes me. It's like the smell of any sort of sunscreen that's got like coconut or banana. Like it just. It reminds me of vacation.
- [04:42]
A
It does.
- [04:43]
B
Yeah. So don't go anywhere more Kennedy saves the world right after this.

Honey, what are you listening to? Mom? Your teen might not share everything with you, but teens share everything with each other. And certain everyday behaviors like sharing food, drinks or kisses could mean sharing bacteria that can cause meningococcal disease known as meningitis. Although meningitis is uncommon, about 1 in 10 who develop it will die at. Ask your teen's doctor about missing meningitis vaccinations.

- [05:51]
A
Oh, it's a lot, man.
- [05:52]
B
Because Lincoln was at Pele's graduation.
- [05:54]
A
Yes, he was.
- [05:55]
B
When she graduated from high school three years ago.
- [05:57]
A
It's cra. I mean, obviously there's this proud component because it's the highest level of education in our family. You know, no one's ever made. No one's ever made it this far. It's kind of a big damn deal. But it's amazing because all of the cliches about parenting are true.
- [06:10]
B
Yes.
- [06:11]
A
Okay. In terms of things going fast and everything else they say.
- [06:14]
B
So someone said this to me when my girls were very young. The days go slow, the years go fast. So true that like, I remember having toddlers and just you're so tired at the end of the day because you're playing defense all day long. And then all of a sudden, you know, one of them is on the precipice of her 21st birthday or she's going to have her first sip of alcohol.
- [06:36]
A
Uh huh. It's coming. Yeah, it's coming.
- [06:38]
B
I'm sure never before she's waiting.
- [06:41]
A
Yeah, she's saving herself for 21st. But the point is, you feel like you missed all of it. And I was there for all of it. That's the weird part.
- [06:50]
B
Most hands on dads. I know. I guess, like, every time I talk to you, you are. You are at, like a sporting event. You're like, oh, Lincoln loves his team. I got tickets. I'm surprising him. You know, we. We got tickets in the outfield so we can make fun of one.
- [07:03]
A
We're gonna heckle. Yeah. We're gonna get thrown out of the game.
- [07:05]
B
Like, I've. I've been in. In the very front row behind the opposing team's hockey net when you and Lincoln are heckling. And it's like, what an incredible childhood he's had so far.
- [07:17]
A
Yeah, he's. He's on a good run, man. And that part I love and I'm really happy. But as you watch that, like, march towards independence.
- [07:24]
B
Yeah, it's weird.
- [07:25]
A
But what's weird about it is it's not happening until it is.
- [07:29]
B
Yes.
- [07:29]
A
So, like, until he got a car. Okay. Out in the suburbs, a little different. They become so much more independent that he's kind of like the same age up until that one age that changes things. So he might have got taller. You know, he's like 6 foot 5 or whatever the hell he is, but he was still just like a two year old that needed you to do everything. You know what I'm saying? And now that he has that kind of autonomy to go do things, it just slams into you of like, oh, my God, I missed the whole thing. But as you just said, I was there. Yes, he was opening for me on the road.
- [08:01]
B
Yes.
- [08:02]
A
Like, he had a good enough childhood that I should probably not have custody of him. You know what I'm saying? In theory. I mean, I brought. When Lincoln was 10 years old, I brought him on stage in Reno during the Q and A portion of my set. And the questions were what you'd expect them to be if he wasn't there, you know what I'm saying? But he was there, and he just had the field, the live ammo. And I guess you grow up a little bit faster intellectually in that regard. But he's always been like a sweet little kid.
- [08:24]
B
The movies and stuff we watch when we were kids.
- [08:27]
A
Yeah.
- [08:27]
B
Like, I saw Caddyshack in the theater, which means I must have been six years old.
- [08:32]
A
That is bananas. You know what he watched on Easter Eve when he was 6 years old? Full Metal Jacket. But he thought it was so funny. That was fun. Yeah, well, it was. Because.
- [08:38]
B
Great family movie, you know, like a
- [08:41]
A
little boy and you probably go through this as a girl. Just being in the presence of cursing is so funny.
- [08:45]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [08:46]
A
And you don't know why. Like, you know the CeeLo Green song forget you is fu.
- [08:51]
B
Yeah. Yeah.
- [08:51]
A
So like, when he heard the fu version of that, like, lost his mind because it was a curse. So as a joke, one year, it was like Saturday night before Easter, I threw on Full Metal Jacket to let him watch the Drill Sergeant scene in the beginning. And then, like, fundamentally changed his whole programming infrastructure. And he just. It just wired him for hardcore debauchery the rest of the way. You just wanted the dirty stuff. That was his slap shot. Like, you remember you watched Slap Shot, the movie Slap Shot with Paul Newman,
- [09:16]
B
like, again, seven, eight years old.
- [09:19]
A
That's what I'm saying. Same age. I was watching Slap Shot in a den at my mom's house, on my stomach, slapping the ground like this and kicking my feet. It was so funny to me because they were cursing and I just couldn't even imagine what they were saying.
- [09:31]
B
We had a swear court. Yeah.
- [09:33]
A
Yeah.
- [09:33]
B
So we had a gully between our house and the main road, and on the other side of the gully was a home that had never been finished. It was just a concrete foundation with three concrete walls. And so we used to go there and spray swear words and then we would go to the swear court and swear. And to me, it was like. That was like the highlight of my life.
- [09:52]
A
Yeah. It wouldn't get better than that. I was like, no. For real, though, it's amazing. That's as alive as you ever feel when you're just out there kind of untethered, doing stuff.
- [10:00]
B
But so it's so funny because if you think about how you grew, it was so much more untethered than Lincoln.
- [10:07]
A
Big time.
- [10:08]
B
You didn't have an activities director going. And we're going to do this. We're going to go to these sporting events, we're going to check these boxes. Your parents are like, it's 10 o' clock at night. Like, did you eat? And it's like, do I even have parents?
- [10:19]
A
Yeah. Yeah. They were just gone. Like, you got under you. It was really weird. But we grew up in an era where you were a feral cat.
- [10:25]
B
Yes.
- [10:25]
A
You just wander out of your house.
- [10:27]
B
People don't believe that about Gen Xers. It is very true.
- [10:30]
A
Yeah. Feral cat. You'd wander out of your house and eventually you'd notice another cat up the road and you'd go up and hit it with your head and decide if you were going to play wiffle ball or bike tag or whatever the hell you were going to do. And before you knew it, there was another cat and there was a crowd. And that's kind of how neighborhoods were. And that's definitely the era I grew up in. And there was so much more spontaneity to it. You know, we didn't have, we didn't know the term play date. Yeah, you didn't plan a get to. You just did things. You know what I mean? But in his era, yes, it is a little bit more regimented in that way of everything being digitally connected. But what I notice about them is like they're all better looking than we were. Because they're more looks conscious because of Instagram.
- [11:06]
B
Yes.
- [11:07]
A
So. But that's really funny. So they're better looking, but they're all crazier. You have like this whole generation of kids with that same poofy broccoli hair and they have ripped abs, but they don't look at you when they say hello because they're all so crazy. So it's like they're physically better, mentally worse. Lincoln is like somewhere in between, but he's a good, fun kid. And that's like all you ever want to raise. You know what I'm saying is you want to raise a fun kid. And I think people, he's got the,
- [11:32]
B
the Gregoriousness of a New Yorker with the decency of him in Midwestern.
- [11:40]
A
I'll give him that.
- [11:41]
B
That is Lincoln and that is you and Jenny. And that truly is the best, the most you could hope for.
- [11:47]
A
Listen, I will quote Donald J. Trump, who sat in the Oval Office, he goes, your son, Lincoln, he goes, total package, that kid. Good looking, smart, funny. What happened to you? That's what he said. It's like, good for you, dude. Good for you. I'll tell. It's fine. It was great.
- [12:05]
B
Good for Lincol.
- [12:06]
A
Yeah, he's a good kid. So he'll go, he'll go off to college. He's so young because he's only 17.
- [12:11]
B
Well, that's a thing. Like he like skipped a year. And with tall kids, like everyone assumes that they've got this intelligence and emotional maturity, so they just move them on up. But he is smart.
- [12:25]
A
Yeah, he's good, thankfully. But if you remember this, we used to talk about this when he was like 12 and he was like 6 2. Everybody just thought I had a really dumb 22 year old. Wow, this 22 year old's really into Pokemon.
- [12:36]
B
He's a little thick, huh?
- [12:38]
A
Hey, all right.
- [12:38]
B
Oh, I love him. We can't wait to see him for his graduation party.
- [12:42]
A
That's going to be a big one. The like the cops are, you know the nice thing about my neighborhood is whenever like somebody cuz they don't like Fox, I have the one guy lives behind me doesn't love like Fox. But if he calls the cops, the cops show up and take selfies with us. They're like, oh, I love you.
- [12:55]
B
Is that Emily Kaban?
- [12:56]
A
Yeah, there she. All right. So yeah, the speakers will be extra loud this weekend in honor of the Link men.
- [13:02]
B
Well, as long as there's George Michael, some bourbon and a cigar at the
- [13:06]
A
end of the night.
- [13:07]
B
I think it's a victory.
- [13:08]
A
It's coming your way. Let's get him.
- [13:09]
