Sex Work Migration: An Amusing Analytical Lens (03:13–04:22)

• Kennedy shares a West Coast parallel: dancers and sex workers traveling to Vegas for weekends, never working in their hometowns:
  • “A girl once explained to me in my taxi, no one strips in their hometown...Imagine how that applies to hooking. No one hooks in their hometown.” (03:44, Failla)

• They lightly debate the contrast between group sports passion and national toughness.

U.S. Soccer Fandom and Fair-Weather Fans (06:17–07:09)

• Brief but sharp critique of the “bandwagon” effect:
  • “The U.S. soccer fans turned the way the woke pro trans crowd turned on Caitlyn Jenner when she came out...Second, the men's team lost. Everyone was like soccer—nobody.” (06:20, Kennedy)
• The hosts mock fickle fans’ abandonment of Belgium after the U.S. lost, encapsulating America’s love for winners only.

Closing Gags and Satirical Ads (07:09–07:32)

• Kennedy and Failla quip about “armloads of hookers” left behind post-World Cup, jokingly hawking a discount code and fake website (“fartsinajar.com”).

Transcript

[A]

Foreign.

[B]

Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So World cup is over. That means all the tourists are going to be leaving New York City. I'm going to miss them.

[C]

It was fun. You know who's going to miss them even more though? The Times Square hookers. So I have to tell you this. It's a weird thing.

[B]

Is that a real thing?

[C]

Yeah. I know this is a little highbrow for the conversations we usually have on this show, but it's one of my favorite things in the world is anytime an international event descends on New York, there are a lot of people here who I don't doubt have partaken in some type of dabbling in the women of the night experience. But there's a unique thing going on in New York in that they are very cleverly packaging what is ultimately a surprise party. Okay. When I started out, I worked at a hot Comedy Club on 46th Street. Is the restaurant row. All of the male hookers that are again, okay. Literally taping their nuts to their, you know. Sure, okay. They look so good on the street here. It's not the ones who aren't like trying. You know what I mean? These ones are trying. And if you knew the amount of people that leave Times Square during the World cup arm in arm because they're proud of what they're walking with until they're not. You know what I'm saying? And. But the business. And I can tell you this for my cab driving days. The World cup is the super bowl of hookers. When it's in your town.

[B]

I had no idea.

[C]

Super bowl hookers, like the U.N. how did it. Like when we had the Super Bowl?

[B]

I didn't hear about any of that.

[C]

Well, you were too busy taping your. I'm kidding. All right, all right, all right. But I can tell you this.

[B]

Those tuck friendly suits at Target worth the money.

[C]

I don't know where you thought this conversation was going by invoking the World cup, but for me, international events. Because I've never driven a cab during the World cup. But I was here for the UN week all the time.

[B]

Makes sense. Because if you have enough money to come over to the United States to New York City for three weeks, like you have cash.

[C]

It's disposable income.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And you are really disposing. You know.

[B]

But what you're saying is it, it's not the domestic hookers that see a spike in business. They're actually like importing themselves.

[C]

Of course. Wow. Big time. That's how the UN Is too. When you drive a cab during UN week, they will hire you for the like, hey, here's a wad of cash. Can you just be on call today? Because they've got to go places. And the way they get down these closed side street during UN week, this is interesting is they buy grocer. I remember you telling me that because they go like, I live here. A baby carriage. A dog. If you have a. Get your hands on a dog. But during you. But during the World Cup. But you understand now we're talking about street girls during World cup week, which I only witnessed this phenomenon when New York hosted the super bowl between the Seahawks and the Broncos. We work in Times Square. We walk around Times Square a lot. We do MOS stuff. So you recognize who the neighborhood hookers are in an international event, you start to see different ones. And the license plate reader in your brain immediately knows the difference between a local and an import. And that's what we've had. We've had all these exchange students that are finally waving goodbye to New York this week. And it's going to be sad to go back to the regular guys.

[B]

So it's really funny. When I would go to Vegas from Burbank, which is the best light right there. But on Friday afternoons, the pros would go to Vegas to the strip clubs. Yes, they would. Because they would work in Vegas on the weekends to make, you know, they'd be in LA during the week, you know, probably doing charity work and all the local things going on. Acting auditions for a Hallmark Channel and all the wholesome things.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

And then, you know, Friday afternoon, it's Wheels up, Buttercup.

[C]

That is so funny that you said this. A girl once explained to me in my taxi, no one strips in their hometown. You don't strip at your hometown. People are gonna know you. So. But imagine how that applies to hooking. No one hooks in their hometown.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow, that's brilliant.

[B]

Yeah. Wouldn't that be awkward?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Like, you see the podiatrist.

[C]

Hey, that's not a foot. I didn't. There was a minimum. What's going on here? What's happening? But hold on a second, because I think that's so amazing. There is a show to be made. You know, they have like Ice Road Truckers. Ice Road Hookers. There's a show to be made about the trans. The transportation life of these people. Why don't we have that airline? Like, you know, they had Hooters Air.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

This is kind of been.

[B]

That would have been very helpful for.

[C]

Diddy that would have been nice.

[B]

That was one of the things that he was charged with. Like, that was. That was the RICO charge. And. And he was not found guilty on the RICO charge of, you know, shutt sex workers from state to state.

[C]

That's all the guy was. He was just a frustrated transportation mogul. Your honor, he's like, how do I get these people and this baby oil?

[B]

I mean, but if you. If people would allow themselves to be filmed doing that, like, why wouldn't you? Because that shame is dead.

[C]

I love that. That he. It's not FedEx. It's Fed sex. P. Diddy was just trying to start a fed sex. You get the women, you get the oil, you throw them on a plane. What are the cops doing here?

[B]

Oh, up. Yes. What can Brown do for you? Boom.

[C]

Love it.

[C]

So there went to World Cup.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I enjoyed it. I. What I like, and this is. Can I give you an interesting tell?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I think one of the reasons that we win as many world wars as we have, and I know it's been a minute, is there is something though about this lovable camaraderie of grown men in groups of thousands singing songs that actually doesn't lend itself to healthy war fighting.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I think I feel like there's something soft about it.

[B]

Interesting.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? No, I really do. I think it's great. I think it's endearing. But like the, you know, the 80 guys in the middle. 80, it's 8, 000 guys in the middle of Times Square doing the Viking row and stuff like that, which is kind of cute, but it's also like sort of flash mob, you know. And I don't know that when the game is on the line, you want those guys. I think you want the guys that are like, oh, this is right. You know that. Sorry.

[B]

Every U.S. soccer fan.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

By the way, the U.S. soccer fans turned the way the woke pro trans crowd turned on Caitlyn Jenner when she came out. Not as a woman, but as a Republican. Second, the men's team lost. Everyone was like soccer.

[A]

Nobody.

[C]

Like stupid sport, you guys, as they literally wiped paint off their face, cried their way out of the state, pulled off a big giant USA Afro. Never liked the sport. George Washington Wings sucks because everybody loves a winner.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

That is how it works. So you got a lot of people that were engaged in soccer small talk. You're right about this. Right up until that round of 16. And then there went Belgium. I don't even think the average person knows that Belgium lost like the next day. Yeah, because we were done with Belgium. We just, we had moved on.

[B]

Yeah, we discarded Belgium. Belgium is dead to me. I was so happy to watch them lose to Spain. That was great. But it's done. We're still here. And now we got armloads of hookers and we don't know what to do with them. So if you're, if you're going to be in New York, why don't you swing by and take them off our hands?

[C]

Use the code word taxi for half off. I know these women. It's going to be Great.
