[B]

Thank you very much. Paris Hilton, everybody. That's not hot. That's not hot.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Of course, due to the storm, thousands of flights were canceled, which created total chaos with air travel. But the airlines wanted to let people know that they were working on it, so they released some messages. Check out this first one from Delta.

[D]

Here at Delta, our top priority is keeping you safe. Thanks for bearing with us while we get you back in the air, Delta. Keep climbing.

[B]

This is nice. Here's one from United States. Together, we can weather any storm. We promise to get you to your destination as soon as it's safe to fly again. United good. Leads the way. I like that. You know I like that. Oh, wait, hang on. I'm sorry. I'm hearing this. One more message from Spirit Airlines. Okay, watch this.

[A]

Screw it. We're still taking off. What's the worst that can happen? The door falls off.

[D]

Buddy.

[A]

Airplanes never have doors. We're the only ones in the sky. So we're about to go full Top Gun in this Pringles toot with wings. You don't have an emotion of some more animals, you better find one. Cause it's about to get. La la la la la la la. Cow spirit. It's a $30 ticket. What'd you expect? Wow.

[B]

Oh, my goodness.

Wow.

I'm ticking. Awesome. Some big sports news. The super bowl matchup is officially set with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots. What a match of Seattle versus Boston. Yep. Starbucks versus Dunkin. Stale egg sandwiches versus stale egg sandwiches.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

It's a matchup between quarterback Sam Darnold of the Seahawks and Drake May of the Patriots.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Sam and Drake. This sounds like a comedy on the Disney Channel. Yep. Last year it was Kendrick, and this year it's Drake. Hmm. It's like half a joke. It's kind of there. I saw where we were going with it, but we just didn't really. You're saying stop short? Didn't really land the plane. Yeah, no. Yeah, we stopped short. But there's gotta be something about Drake and Kendrick. What's that? We'll do the other. Yeah, it's a to be continued joke. We do the first half tonight and then you get dip your toes in the water. You go, eh, it's not bad. Yeah. And then tomorrow you go, I don't like it. Yeah.

[B]

You guys see this? Trump said that he's skipping the super bowl this year because it's just too far away. Apparently, the NFL was like, if you stay home, we'll give you the football peace prize. Got a deal.

[A]

Cool.

[D]

I'll take.

[B]

I can't believe I got it. I deserve it. I can't believe it's mine. Yeah. Trump said that he will not attend the super bowl because it's too far, which is also what he said about a meeting on the other side of the Oval Office. I can't go. I guess too. It's not great when you're too tired to sit for three hours.

[D]

You know.

[B]

That is the whole joke there. That's the whole. There's no part two. That's it? Yeah, that's it. That's not gonna get any worse. Or better yet, wow, that landed well. Speaking of Trump, he just revoked his invitation for Canada to join his new Board of Peace after the Canadian Prime Minister criticized the US So so far, the board of Peace is going great. And finally, I read that Lowe's is launching an initiative to reach younger shoppers. Meanwhile, Home Depot will keep being a place where you slap an airtag on dad and let him wander around for hours.

[A]

We have a great show. Pete Davidson is here tonight. Paris Hilton is joining us. Stick.

You're becoming that guy.

[D]

Yeah. It's really cute. It's fun to see Elsie be a great mom. I love, you know, all this. They crap so much.

[B]

They do, right?

[D]

They crap while they're crapping.

[B]

That's interesting.

[D]

And then you'll put ointment on, and then they'll be like, psych crap again.

[B]

Do it again.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

No.

[D]

We had a crazy moment the other day where now it's. She's almost two months old, and when you first have the baby, you have, like, this baby high where you're just like, yes. But then we had a moment last week where like, oh, she's here. She's staying. Like, she's staying.

Yes.

[B]

Yeah. This is a thing now. Let's Go to a movie. This is now, live.

[D]

Now.

[B]

It's real.

[D]

Yeah. So we're having a blast, though.

[B]

I'm so happy for you, bud. I know you're gonna be a great dad. Are people coming up to you giving advice?

[D]

Cause I tons. People that you don't even know. Like, you'll be at the store, they'll be like, hey, you got a kid. Hey, you gotta do this. Yeah. You gotta do that. But everyone's been really nice.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Is it helpful advice or the best.

[D]

Advice I actually got, and I hate it's so name droppy, but Eddie Murphy gave me great advice because I asked him for advice.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

And he goes, the best advice is no advice.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

He goes, you can't tell another man how to raise his child.

[A]

I was like, okay.

[B]

I was like, all right.

[A]

He's smart.

[B]

Yeah, he's smart.

[A]

That is correct advice, Eddie.

[B]

That is great advice.

[D]

So thank you for that.

[B]

I know you're close to your mom. Give her my best, please. But she must be so happy to be a grandma.

[D]

Yes. Yeah. My mom, if it was legal, would have had my kid.

[B]

That's so funny. That's so funny.

[D]

No, she's over the moon. She came up with her own name, like, two months into the pregnancy. She's like, I came up with my name that I want.

[B]

No, my mom did, too.

[D]

Yeah, it's Mamie, which is cute, but it's not.

[B]

Yeah, no, my mom was like, I don't want to be called Grandma. I'm too young to be that. I want to be Gigi. I go, no, Gigi's not. Is Mamie gonna stick?

[D]

I don't know. I mean, she made sweaters that said.

[A]

That is such a mom thing to do.

[B]

That is so funny. My mom totally pushed for her name. She's like, don't call me Grandma.

[D]

Yeah. It's really cute, though, to see how excited she is.

[B]

Awesome.

[D]

Yeah. She's the best.

[B]

You know, I just thought about this just now. Cause I know you, but didn't you buy a minivan years ago?

[D]

I did. I bought a minivan for stealth.

[B]

Now you can actually use it.

[D]

Now I can actually use it.

[B]

It's great.

[D]

Do you have a minivan?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

They're unbelievable.

[B]

It's one of the greatest vehicles.

[D]

It's the most unable car you will ever. No one looks at you. You could be doing a heroin deal on the west side Highway. Nobody will look at you in a minivan.

[B]

No. They won't even look at you for two seconds in a Minivan. It's awesome, but it's great. They have the door, it comes open, it's spacious. They have things. Yeah, they have minivans that have vacuums included, too. Yeah.

[D]

Ebay helped me build a dad van, and they put a VHS player in it and a changing table and a little fridge and has, like, a little baby brezza in it and all this. It's awesome.

[B]

That's. Wait, how's your VHS collection?

[D]

Oh, it's. It's extensive.

[B]

You're still doing it?

[D]

I'm still doing it.

[A]

What?

[D]

Yeah. I don't. Last time I was here, a while ago, I had this, like, weird hunch that VHS would be worth billions of dollars. I had a lot of fun during COVID and bought 10,000 VHS tapes sealed. I was like, they're sealed. They're never even open.

[A]

It's gonna go for millions.

[D]

Oh, my God, they went down so much. But I get to look at them every day as a reminder not to do drugs.

[B]

Yeah, there you go. Yep, there you go.

[D]

There you go.

[B]

Let's talk about the new podcast here, by the way, the Pete Davidson Show. I will say, dude, Netflix does such a great job. You know, you're on the homepage right now. It's so easy to find. I'm like, I knew you had this thing coming out. And I go, when is it coming out? As soon as I go to Netflix. It's right there. It's like, oh, Pete Davidson, this Friday. I'm like, oh, they know how to do it. They're great.

[D]

I've always wanted to work with them. We got to do some standup stuff together.

[B]

And they're absolutely.

[D]

Yeah, they're doing podcasts now. And they were like. They were looking for someone who didn't have one yet. And I was like, sure, yeah, I'll be the test bunny.

[B]

Yes. You know. Oh, it's going to be great, but it's.

[D]

Your job's hard, dude.

[B]

Do you think so?

[D]

Yeah, yeah, it's one of those. It's one of those, you know, backseat driver sort of things where you're like, ah. You just, you know, dude, you have to pretend to care about people every day.

[B]

I had, like, no, I do care.

[D]

No, but like, people, it's fun when you have your friends. Like, this is easy, you know? Or like, when you have, you know, people that you work with. It's like, you know, you're just talking, but you have to interview people that you don't know that are boring.

[A]

No, that's.

[D]

No, no, no. It's Fine. Yeah, but you have to be like, oh, that's amazing.

[B]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Wow.

[D]

What?

[B]

Is that me? No way.

[A]

You brought your mom to the premiere, man. It's so ugly, dude. Best kid ever, dude.

[D]

Dude, it's hard. What Jimmy does is really, really hard.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate respect.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[B]

This is a picture of you in your studio. You're doing it from your garage. This is you doing your podcast. This is that. That's a decent studio there.

[D]

Yeah. So originally they were like, would you like to go to a studio? I was like, can I do it in my garage? And they were like, sure. Do you want to, you know, want us to dress it and set it up nice? And I was like, no, just get like a, you know, high school background class photo and then just put like two La Z Boys. And then I didn't. Until I saw this photo. I didn't realize I should have put more effort into it, but I feel.

[B]

Like you can't even open the La Z Boy to make the La Z Boy do the La Z Boy thing.

[D]

There's been some issues. There's been some issues. What's really funny is my buddy came in the garage, so that's a bowl of cigarettes.

[B]

So. No.

[D]

So when I first moved in, I just was like, I'm never gonna empty this ashtray, like, ever. And my buddy came in, he goes, oh, the set dressing's incredible.

[A]

Look at that.

[B]

Like, no, that's just me.

[D]

No, I'm just a J. Degenerate. Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

[B]

Can we say who's gonna be on this Friday?

[D]

Yeah, Friday. Our first guest is Colson Baker, AKA Machine Gun Kelly.

[B]

I love that guy.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And then I love that he's so good after that.

[D]

Oh, he's. He's incredible. When he came over, he did all those Ace Mentorium impressions.

[B]

No, he did everything. It's great. He can act, he can sing, he can rap, he can do it all.

[D]

Yeah, it's really funny. Cause he's never done that for me.

[B]

You know when you're. Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But you know, I guess. When would he.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I guess. Yeah. Why would he go, hey, Pete, hey, check this out.

[D]

Yeah, but you know when you're very close with someone and then you see them do something that you're like, oh.

[B]

You do that stuff?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

What else do you do? Yeah, no, he's on it. And then after that we have Charlemagne the God. Or as my 86 year old grandpa calls him, Charlemagne the Lord.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Fantastic. I think you're gonna be good at this.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

I think it's gonna be great. You're fun and you have a great conversation and we could just do this. I mean, does it come natural like when you.

[D]

So I. I don't have. I don't do any prep, right?

[B]

No, because I do.

[D]

Yeah. No.

[A]

Well.

[D]

Well, you're very good at this. My whole take on the podcast was it would be so cool to just the second they get there, start recording and then you just talk and then see what happens. Yeah, no, it's gonna be.

[B]

This is gonna be interesting. Dude, I wanna hear episode three. Man, I'm excited this Friday.

[D]

I don't get to. As you know, when you get longer into this business, it's harder to see your best friends.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You know. Cause they're all doing cool stuff as well usually. That is true. So this is a really good excuse for me to like hang out with my pals in my garage and just shoot the. Shoot the crap.

[B]

It's gonna be great. And best news ever. Scotty. Congratulations, dad. Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah, I got him laughing. He couldn't stop me. It was so funny knocking the thing over. I know, you guys, everyone's calling them the cutesy crew. Yes, I love the cutesy crew. Those little jackets.

[C]

My everything, my world. They're the sweetest angels. They're so much fun.

[B]

Do they have any idea what mom does?

[C]

I think they think their mom is like a princess superhero.

[B]

You do so many. Yeah.

[C]

They get to see me do everything, you know, from passing legislation in D.C.

[B]

By the way, congrats on that, by the way.

[A]

Thank you so much.

[C]

I've been going for the past five years, passed two federal bills and almost 20 state laws to protect children.

[B]

Can you. This is a great thing. Can you explain what it is and what bill did you.

[C]

The one that I just went for this week is the Defiance act, which would protect women from AI. Just explicit videos and pictures people are making. There's no laws to protect people right now, so it's so important that they. They get laws on these things.

[B]

I love that you're doing that. I love the kids get to see you do that, Then they get to see you sing and perform. Then they get to see you dj, Then they get to see you fly. I remember last time you were here, you showed me you, like, flew or something across the crowd of people on a string or something. I was like, dude, what is going on? What is your life? It is so bizarre.

[C]

It's so much fun.

[B]

I know, but you were here for the memoir, which. Congratulations on that. And I know now you're adapting that into a TV series with our faves, Dakota and Elle Fanning.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm so excited for this project. We're doing it with the Fanning Sisters and A24.

[B]

A24 is real deal. I love A24.

[C]

They're epic, so I'm just so excited for that. I can't believe my life story is gonna be a television series.

[B]

And do we know who's getting cast yet or. You can't say.

[C]

You'll be the first to know.

[B]

All right. Thank you.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

I want to be. Because, you know, I'm part of the Bad Bitch Academy.

[C]

You are the ultimate bad bitch. Yes.

[B]

Thank you. You gave me. I was very honored to have my degree. I love it.

[D]

There we go.

[C]

Never forget the bad bitch you are.

[B]

Thank you. I want to talk about this film you have. It's called Infinite A Visual Memoir. How do we set up what this.

[C]

Is about, this film? I see this as, like, a trilogy. The first part being my first documentary, then my memoir, and now this film through the lens of music. So it just goes back on my whole life and just everything that I've been through, and then just showing my whole music journey and everything else that's happening. And it's the most personal project I've ever done, and I can't Wait for the world to. To see it. In theaters starting January 30th.

[B]

January. Stars are blind. When did that come out?

[C]

That came out in June 2006.

[B]

Is that really 20 years? I know what it feels like.

[C]

It's so crazy.

[B]

And did you know it was gonna be, like, iconic?

[C]

As soon as I recorded it, I knew there was something special about it. Just seemed like one of those timeless, iconic songs.

[B]

Yeah. And was the label like, yeah, that's the song you want to release, and that's the one we're gonna put out.

[C]

They wanted to go with another song called Turn it up, which is more of, like, a party song, which I thought was very expected. And I thought with Stars Are Blind, it was just something so unique and different and totally unexpected, and I knew it would be, like, a timeless song, and I'm glad I listened to my instincts.

[B]

Yeah. Are you. Any new music that we can talk about, or.

[C]

Yes, I'm in the studio right now and just finishing up the third album, so. Yes.

[B]

You are unbelievable. And will you.

[D]

Will you tour?

[C]

Yes, I have a huge tour planned, and I have concerts starting all summer long.

[B]

Come on.

[D]

The best.

[A]

Come on, Bob. Thank you.

[B]

I saw in an interview you said that music saved my life. And I think a lot of people agree with that, People out there as well. But I was just wondering if we could maybe go back and forth with some songs that changed our lives or lyrics that inspired you, and we could just go. You could just riff. You can do three each. We can do one. Whatever you feel like. Okay, give me a song that changed.

[C]

One song that really changed my life was Ultra Nate, this song called Free. And it was right when I had gotten out of those horrible schools, and it was the first night I went out in New York, and just hearing those lyrics, like, I felt like it was like my anthem.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Mm.

[B]

Gosh, I don't even know if I know that song.

[C]

It's iconic.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Check it out.

[B]

I was gonna say Wipeout.

[C]

What's that. One's iconic, too.

[B]

Yeah, Because. Well, here's why. Because I was 15 years old, and I went to this kid's birthday party, and I had told him I played the guitar, and he was like, whatever. And then he had a band. He had a band at his party, and he goes. The guy goes, hey, is there Jimmy Fallon here plays the guitar? And I was like, oh, I can't really play the guitar. I mean, I was saying that I was learning, but I'm like. And it was like, I was 15, and I was like, it's kind of an adult party almost, you know? And I was like, okay. And so I got up, and he's like, what do you want to play? And I was like, wipeout. And I played Wipeout and crushed it. It was awesome. That changed my. Might have been my first time, like, on stage, where I had to go like, oh, that was. I was on stage and that worked. I'm like, oh, I want to do that.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

All right. Give me another one.

[C]

Well, stars are blind, obviously.

[B]

Oh, yeah, of course. Of course. Well, that changed your life.

[C]

It did. It's been like the anthem of my life. And I just remember the first time I was driving down Pacific coast highway to Malibu and I heard it for the radio, on the radio for the first time, and I was just like, can't beat that. A dream come true.

[B]

Can't beat that. How about lyrics? How about. You know what I like? Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac. Because you like that line, Lightning strikes, right? Maybe once, maybe twice. That's the jam. Cause you go, lightning strikes. Yeah, that's it. You missed it. No, you didn't miss your opportunity. Because it strikes maybe once, maybe twice. Keep going with your dreams. Because lightning can strike twice. Keep going. I love that. I don't even know if that's the meaning of that line, but I took it as that. Thank you, Stevie Nicks. Yeah.

[C]

And I love Unstoppable by Sia.

[B]

She's amazing.

[C]

She really is amazing. She's my fairy godmother.

[B]

Is she really?

[C]

She really is.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

She's the reason that I got back into music.

[D]

Sia.

[C]

I had performed with her and Miley Cyrus on New Year's Eve.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

And then the next day, Sia said, you are so incredible. Like, why have you not done another album? You were born to be a pop star. And then I said, because I've been busy with a million other things and running my empire.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And having beautiful and my babies and everything. And she said, well, what? You know, what if I was the executive producer and I wrote the album with you? And it's like, how can you say no to Sia?

[B]

She's the greatest.

[A]

Thank you, Sia.

Love you, Sia.
