[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6 Me in Rock and Eller center in the heart of New York City, this is Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight, join Jimmy and his guests, Nate Barghesi, Chase infinity, Ryan Garcia. And featuring the legendary Ruth Kurt 2293. Yeah. And now here he is, Jimmy Ra.

Come on.

That's what I'm talking about there. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself.

Welcome, welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

You're here. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.

It's gonna be fun. Well, guys, this is exciting. It is college graduation season, and it is just. Yeah, it is. It's pretty inspiring to see the most hungover kid at the ceremony and think, someday that guy will be the director of the FBI. And it's a good feeling. Of course, some graduation ceremonies are more prestigious than others. You know, it's tough when they introduce your commencement speaker with a. You know them from season two of MILF Manor. Let's get to some news. Today, President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for leaking his tax returns. Yep. Then he made a statement saying, I just saved the taxpayers $10 billion. As president, Trump basically controlled his lawyers and the lawyers on the irs. He was like, it was a tough negotiation, but I managed to make a deal with myself. Meanwhile, as part of his settlement with the IRS, Trump is creating a $1.8 billion fund to pay people who claim they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. Yep. Trump can start paying off his supporters. That'll explain why your uncle shows up to Thanksgiving with the new fur coat and a Lamborghini. He's like, I had a good year.

I had a good year.

Trump is back in the US after his trip to China, but he failed to make any major deals while he was there. He flew all the way to Beijing for a trade deal, but didn't come together. But now he's using a special excuse generator to explain why it didn't happen. Oh, that's good. Yeah, this is like a machine to give him excuses of why. Like, for example, when Trump was asked, why didn't you make any deals in China? It tells him to say, I left early to serve as the designated driver for Pete Hexaf and Cash Patel. Yeah, that's amazing. He tried another excuse. He said, I had a major emergency when I kept dropping my food with the chopstick. That's not easy. And finally he said, I couldn't negotiate without expert advice from Spencer Pratt. He's trying all different excuses. Well, some More political news. While speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump called the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, James Talarico, weird. But his accusation also sounded a little weird. Watch this.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator)]

The Democrats have a weird. A weird candidate, six genders. A real hit on Jesus. I mean, this guy is bad news. He's a vegan. He's a vegan. All of a sudden, he's not a vegan. He was a vegan. Now all of a sudden, he's not. Texas doesn't like vegans.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Trump really wanted us to know that Telo was a vegan. In fact, he even put this ad out. Watch this.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator)]

Hi, Texas. It's your favorite president here to tell you not to trust James Talarico because he's a total vegan.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's right.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator)]

He doesn't eat. Might not even Torquay. Beef perk. Hamster hoot doogs. Spooked snosges. Stocks Uggs. Stocking uggs. Feesh pank, fish. Tuba fish. Sloppy pepper ponies. Brush scudo. I mean, how do you trust a guy who won't even eat chicken nuggets? Did we get all that? I'm not doing another take.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, he didn't want to do another. Well, guys, Trump now says that his National Mall reflecting pool renovations are ahead of schedule, and the goal is to complete the project before the 4th of July.

[Comedian/Guest]

Whoa, whoa, Jimmy. So the National Mall reflecting pool could be done before the 4th of July? Hells yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow, sir, you really seem excited for the reflecting pool renovation.

[Comedian/Guest]

Who isn't? The reflecting pool renovation is, like, the number one thing Americans care about right now. Hashtag reflecting pools rule.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, I don't think that's true. I think it seems Americans care more about the price of gas and groceries, the war in Iran.

[Comedian/Guest]

Oh, please, miss. What do you care about most in our country right now? See, the reflecting pool.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's unanimous.

Hashtag reflecting pool's rule.

I don't think anyone here agrees with you.

[Comedian/Guest]

Listen, Jimmy, this is legacy stuff. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Obama finally got bin Laden, and Trump will finally renovate the National Mall reflecting poll pool.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Reflecting pool.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Who's with me?

[Comedian/Guest]

Let's get out of here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Reflecting pools, drool. Reflecting pools, drool. Reflecting pools, drool. Reflecting pools, drools. Reflecting pools, drool. Reflecting.

They got one of them reflecting pools. There you go. You got one guy to go with him. Yeah. All right. Very good T shirt. Yeah. Hey, I saw that Instagram launched a new Snapchat like feature called Instance that allows users to send disappearing photos. Now, please just say nudes. Well, get this. The makers of spam just announced that they are now selling hot dogs. Yeah. Even the McRib is like, I wouldn't eat that. And finally, guys, I'm very excited about this. Nate Bargetzi is here tonight in the movie Red Winner. He is the best. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You know what? We've traveled together. I was gonna ask. We've been on a tour bus together.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah, we have. I was just in Syracuse. Where was the last time you came with me?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, how was it?

[Nate Barghetta]

It was great. Shows were great. They missed you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I've never flown with you, though.

[Nate Barghetta]

No, no, yeah, I'm fine flying. You know what's something I thought of recently? You know how, like, pilots, they always tell you, like. Like, you know, we're not flying over water. Your life jacket's under your seat. But we're not flying over water. So that's not gonna matter. Like, just how confident they are. Like, you know, look, we have Sully. Is it. He hit water.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, Sully.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah. Yeah, the pilot. So, like. And there's like, thousands of lakes. I just think a pilot should be a little more like, hey, it's under there. And I'm gonna aim for. For water. Like, just give. I mean, it's like, he's so. Like, there's no way we're heading water. We're going right into a mountain.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's not what he's saying.

[Nate Barghetta]

That's basically what he's saying. Cause he's like, there's a life jacket there, but we're not gonna need it. You're like, I mean, when we fly, all I see is water. So just show. Just give me the hope that if the plane's going down, you're shooting for water. You don't have to promise you're gonna hit water, but I at least know you're not like, well, there ain't no water down there. And you're just like, just, you know, little hope. Little hope is all I want.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, but you go all over the place. I know that you went to Philadelphia.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You adopted a dog.

[Nate Barghetta]

I did in Philadelphia. Adopt a dog in Philadelphia. And every city wants me to take one of their dogs. And it's.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow, you're gonna have a lot of dogs.

[Nate Barghetta]

But it was. Yeah, they.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How's Philly? You named it?

[Nate Barghetta]

Philly's doing great. Yeah, we named it Philly after Philadelphia. So. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good for you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Good dog.

[Nate Barghetta]

Great dog. We have a. So when we got this dog, I was gonna take it on the road with me, and then my daughter's kind of kidnapped the dog from me, so I don't really get to take it on the road. It's with her at all times, but we have a video when we first got her, and she's, like, running on the steps. So she's this little one right here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, yeah.

[Nate Barghetta]

And we're like. We just. This is the first time she's at her house, and we're like, oh, look, she's doing great, and she's cute, and she's fun. And then. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, interesting.

[Nate Barghetta]

You know, just go.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, it's interesting. I never saw.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah. And I think it's just a learning curve from Philadelphia to Tennessee.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I've never seen it.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah. They don't have bushes in Philadelphia, apparently. So she.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It was like a ball pit.

[Nate Barghetta]

And we had a. We go, look, we're a big bush family down here. And I know you thought that was grass. She just goes just straight into it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's like a Simpsons episode. That's like the Homer going into the Brih.

[Nate Barghetta]

The most confident, like, the confidence as if she says, if there's a life jacket under your chair, we're definitely not hitting water.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The breadwinner. This is your first movie ever.

[Nate Barghetta]

First movie ever.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you're starring in it.

[Nate Barghetta]

I know.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's how you do it, bud.

[Nate Barghetta]

That's how you do it. You sit and wait. You just sit.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Just sit and wait. And then sit and wait.

[Nate Barghetta]

Let them come to you. All right. It's gonna take a while.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Did you audition a lot?

[Nate Barghetta]

I did audition a good bit. I was like, never good at it. Cause it was like, I just can do this voice. And I went in one time, and so you'd write, like, your special things that you can do that most people can't do, like, anything. Like, you could sing. That was, like, a good. You'd be like, oh, I can sing, and I can do this, and I can do voices or I can. And I wrote, like, I can walk. And I said, run too, just in case. They were like, we need a runner. And I'm like, well, hold on. Keep reading. I said, basketball. And then I said, I can only do this accent, so I can't not do this. So if you don't want this sounding accent, then it's not gonna. It's not gonna work out.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's why you had to write your own movie.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah, I auditioned for the Entourage. Yeah. Remember the Entourage movie? So I was a big fan of Entourage's show. Then they came out of the movie. So I auditioned. Haley Jo Osmond got the part. Cause he should. And he's a real actor. And I did. I had an acting coach, and so I'm going to the audition. I'm with him before, and we get done with it. And I go, all right, you think I'm good? And he goes, I think you should try to get out of this audition.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He said, you acting co star. Yeah.

[Nate Barghetta]

He goes, the practice. The practice of it went so bad that he goes, I think it's gonna hurt your career if you go. Cause it's not good at all. And, you know, as a comic, you're like, you know, what's the matter?

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'll just go, why not?

[Nate Barghetta]

And then I went and did not get it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, well, you crush it in this. I love every. It's a love letter to all the moms out there, by the way.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yes. How much they do and. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. And then. But joke. It has jokes I haven't seen. This is the funniest movie of the year for me. Every scene's got a giant joke. Mandy Moore is fantastic. In it.

[Nate Barghetta]

Fantastic.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How do we set up the premise of the film?

[Nate Barghetta]

It's the breadwinner. So I work, I'm a car dealer and my wife is a stay at home mom. And she invents something and goes on Shark Tank. And so then that kind of takes off and then I have to stay with the kids. And it's a movie that's just like when roles are gonna switch like that. It's gonna be a learning curve for a dad to have to figure all this stuff out. A lot of it's based off my standup. A lot of it's from. I have a joke about my daughter's school called and asked me what bus number my daughter was on. And I was just like, why, you know, why would you call the dad? Like, I didn't know. Like, I mean, I was like, what are you doing? Like, I don't, I don't know what bus is on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Bus number.

[Nate Barghetta]

That's crazy. I don't even know they had numbers. You know, like, it's. And so, I mean, a lot of it's kind of based on that kind of idea and a lot of my stand ups in it or like stuff inspired by my standup. And then so it's just me figuring it out and raising the kids and then realizing like, you know, when someone travels a lot in a family, they realize how much like how beautiful it is to be with your kids and how much you love being with your kids and then also seeing how much work that a mom actually does. That I think people, people can take each other for granted in a relationship. And I think this shows that, you know, you're both doing a lot of stuff.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We loved it. It was great. It was so fun and fantastic. And then, then you do the other. Then you do the even more work. That's what Nate Bargetzi does in my head. He just puts the work and he always thinks of a new idea and a fresh idea. You're doing something very cool called the Nate rate.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Now, can you explain to people at home what this is?

[Nate Barghetta]

So the Nate rate, we want you to go ahead and buy. You can go and buy your movie tickets now. The Nate rate was like, you know, everything's so expensive. And I want to make the idea of making this movie and anything that it do is I just want you to go out with your whole family, with your mom, your grandparents, and you're gonna go to something. You don't have to like worry about anything. You're gonna just have a good time. And so the nate rate is all the theaters were great, and I talked to all the theaters about just trying to lower prices for this movie. So each theater agreed and they love it. So we've got special pricing if you use the nate rate for the movie. So when you can go out and see it. Cause we want you to bring everybody to the movie. So we're just trying to help out.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You know, that's what I'm talking about. Let's do it. Ask your local theater.

Find out what the n. Everyone, the breadwinner is in theaters May 29th. We'll be right back with Trace Infinity. Come on back. Our next guest is a talented actor

who you know from the Oscar winning film one battle after another. She's now starring in the new series the testaments, which streams Wednesdays on Hulu and Disney. Please welcome Chase Infinity. Chase.

[Chase Infinity]

My heart is still racing from the game.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you so much for playing that game. Thanks for coming back to the show.

[Ryan Garcia]

Of course.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thanks for having me back.

And we have a good, big Broadway performance tonight at the end of the show. And you were telling me backstage that you started out in doing musical theater.

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah, Yeah. I actually went to school for musical theater, and I started when I was 10, but I've been doing it pretty much like my entire life.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And I was asking you if you remembered your first role. And luckily your mom and dad were back there and they go, oh, we remember it. Shrek the musical.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay.

[Chase Infinity]

I was the dragon.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You were the dragon. And Shrek the musical. Wow.

[Chase Infinity]

I think I was. I think I was like 15 or something.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really?

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah. I was young. But I remember being so excited because I obviously like, Shrek the musical was, like, such a fun show, and it was the first time I had a song to myself, and I'd never had that before. And so I was like, yeah. But I was like, I'm ready to go. I'm so excited. And it was a fun song, so. And that's. I love the summer. And that whole.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Would you ever do a Broadway show?

[Chase Infinity]

I would love to. Really like that. That's still my dream. And I mean, if somebody wants to

[Jimmy Fallon]

hide, that would be fun. Yeah. Oh, please. That means you have to come. That means you have to come back to our show because we're right down the street.

[Chase Infinity]

Oh, dang it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you're also a very talented dancer as well, by the way.

[Chase Infinity]

Thanks.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You have a dance crew.

Yeah.

And I'm gonna forget the name of it now.

[Chase Infinity]

It's Duple dance crew.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The Duple Duple Yeah, yeah. What is Duple?

[Chase Infinity]

Duple. Well, it was me and my friend who came up with it, and we both are into music and. And we started as the two of us. And so we were thinking one day and she was like, what should we call it? And she was like, duple. Like duple meter, because there's two of us. And that's kind of how the name came about.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ah, well, you are. You're going viral all over TikTok and everything. Oh, I mean, come on.

The Duple Dance Crew. The Duple Dance Crew. And who was that in there with you?

[Chase Infinity]

That's my best friend, Ella.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's you and Ella?

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. You guys are great together.

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah, yeah. Best man.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And you were telling me that you love everything K pop.

[Chase Infinity]

I do.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's where you get a lot of your inspiration from.

[Chase Infinity]

That's where all the dancing comes from. And I got into it right when I got into college from Ella. And then through that, like, that's kind of where I expanded my dance, I guess, training, in a sense, while I was in school. But I just think it's a lot of fun.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, but then you met Lisa from Blackpink at the Met Gal.

[Chase Infinity]

I met Lisa a couple times before.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on. Did you fangirl out?

[Chase Infinity]

Definitely. But the first time I met her was actually at, like, a Louis Vuitton dinner because we're both Louis Vuitton ambassadors. And so I met her at a dinner. And it's been really nice to kind of meet her at all these events because it's crazy now that I can kind of consider her my friend. And she has a big sense of comfort anytime I go to any of these events. Like, I remember after the Met Gal, I got inside and I was like, freaking out after that big carpet and everything.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Chase Infinity]

And then she was, like the first person that I saw, and she was like, you look so beautiful. And I was like, you look so beautiful.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're like, oh, my God. Has she ever seen any of your dance videos?

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah, she has. And she was. There's another member of blackpink named Jisoo. And I remember when we got inside, I'd never met Jisoo before, but she was telling Jisoo about us covering blackpink because duple covered blackpink, like in 2021 or something.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. And you're like, nevermind. Anyway, let's just. Let's keep moving on. Keep moving on.

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah, we'll talk about that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But I know you're a big music fan. Cause I saw you were at Coachella this year?

Yeah.

What was the highlight of Coachella?

[Chase Infinity]

Oh my gosh, a lot. Well, I mean, Bieber, Chella was like, Justin Bieber was kind of the highlight. I mean, like, obviously Pink Panthers too. And like I got to go on stage with her. But like, yes. I've been a fan of Justin Bieber since I was 10, so I was definitely geeking out. Me too.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, period.

They were the same age. Yeah. How cool was he though? I loved his performance, by the way.

[Chase Infinity]

It was so cool. And I just remember feeling so nostalgic when he got to the part where he was playing all of his old songs on the computer.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He was just like looking at YouTube videos of like. Like, who has the confidence to do something like this in front of 100,000

[Chase Infinity]

at the same time?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Then he's got a great voice and you go, oh, that's why who he is. He's a talented guy.

[Chase Infinity]

I was like, 10 year old Chase is so happy right now. And I was like, I can't believe I'm finally seeing Justin Bieber.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Like Dragon from Fresh Musicals loving Justin Bieber right now. But here we are. Let's talk about the Testaments.

Yeah.

This picks up a few years after the events of the original show, the Handmaid's Test. Tell me what's going on here. You are Elisabeth Moss, teenage daughter.

[Chase Infinity]

Yeah, so I play Hannah if anybody has watched the Handmaid's Tale. So I'm playing Hannah or Agnes is what she's named in the show. And it's kind of a coming of age story following all of these daughters of Gilead who are the daughters of high ranking commanders. So you're kind of seeing a different world in Gilead and I think that that's kind of cool because the cast is very fresh. It's a younger cast and it's in the school. And you have a girl who comes from outside of the school who's called a pearl girl and she kind of wakes things up in the school a little bit, so.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ooh.

Chase Infinity, everybody. The Testament is streaming now on Hulu and Disney. More tonight show after the break. Stick around everybody. Come on back. Master the plan. Hot hip hop loving embassy.

Our next guest is the reigning WBC welterweight champion. He has 20 career knockouts and tonight he's announcing his next fight. Please welcome Ryan Garcia. Welcome to the show. Thank you for being here. Looking sharp.

[Ryan Garcia]

Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You got the belt with you?

[Ryan Garcia]

Yes, I had to bring it. Ever since I won it, it's been with me everywhere.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Really yes. Yes. You were actually nice enough. You made me a version of the belt.

[Nate Barghetta]

Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I have it for you.

Yeah, it's right here. Yeah. Thank you so much. Mini belt.

[Ryan Garcia]

Mini belt.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Dude, this is fantastic. Dude. Nate got me a watch. That means nothing compared to. I mean, this. This is. That's what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. Congratulations, bud, on being the champ.

[Ryan Garcia]

Thank you so much.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You know what I saw? Once you got the belt in the ring, the first thing you did was you gave it to your dad.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Henry, talk to me about that moment.

[Ryan Garcia]

Well, my dad, he's been with me since I was 7 years old, and I just felt like it meant more to him than me. And I wanted to give my first championship to my dad, so I dedicated it to my dad even before the fight. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow. Let's talk about. You have a big fight coming up. You're gonna announce it tonight?

[Ryan Garcia]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

When is it and what can you say about this fight?

[Ryan Garcia]

I can say that we are fighting September 12th. We'll be in Vegas. And the opponent, let's just say he's from the other side.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right.

Are you going to fight?

[Ryan Garcia]

He's across the pond.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm sorry? Across the pond?

Oh.

Oh, yeah. I thought maybe he was from outer space, like. All right. This is a lot of UFO talk and stuff like that, so I don't know if it was real. Okay. So. All right. So. All right, but. So he's. He's from. Yeah. And you know him. You think that you might.

[Ryan Garcia]

I'll just say his name, just. Cause I love the show. His name is Connor.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Ben. Wow.

[Nate Barghetta]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And he's talking a lot.

[Nate Barghetta]

He's talking crazy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He's talking a lot.

[Ryan Garcia]

He's talking a lot. He's been. He actually confronted me at an award show two years ago, and my wife was there, and he just pressed up on me, grabbed me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Ryan Garcia]

Yeah. So it's a little personal. So we'll be ready to go get him. Trust me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, that's.

[Nate Barghetta]

Well, show him how it's done.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I thought it'd be interesting to maybe go through some. Maybe different ideas of other people that you would fight and you would let me know who wins in how many rounds? Is that okay?

[Ryan Garcia]

Let's do it.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right. How about you versus Floyd, maybe Junior.

[Ryan Garcia]

You know, he's a great fighter. One of the best ever, I would say. You know, it wouldn't be too much fun. He'd just be, you know, circling around the ring, running a little too much.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That would be.

[Ryan Garcia]

You know what? We still will knock him out, though. We'll still. We'll go get him.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's the attitude. That's the attitude right there, Jimmy. I like that.

I give him credit. No, no, I'll give you credit.

[Chase Infinity]

I know.

[Ryan Garcia]

He's like, 40.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I need something now.

[Nate Barghetta]

I can get him.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right.

Yeah, you can get him now. Okay. How about you versus Pacquiao?

[Ryan Garcia]

Oh, man. That's one of the people I looked up to most, you know, Fellow Christian. And I would say it would be a war. It would be a war. I would have to knock out Pacquiao, too. Love you, Pacquiao.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I love you. But he's got to do what he's got to do. Yeah, of course. I thought this was kind of good, you versus the fictional character Adonis Creed. I love the movie so much, I

[Ryan Garcia]

don't know what to say. You know what? You know what?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Creed?

[Ryan Garcia]

He'll give me a great match. I can't say anybody will beat me, Jimmy. It's just how it is. I can't.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So you also would beat Adonis Creed. Yes. Adonis Creed. You could play anybody.

[Nate Barghetta]

You could play King Kong.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes. How about Jake, Paul, Joe? I for sure could beat this guy, you know. Really? 100%?

[Nate Barghetta]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow. Yeah. He's laughing.

[Ryan Garcia]

I'll break his dojo.

[Nate Barghetta]

Break his new jaw.

[Jimmy Fallon]

He said, I'll break his new jaw. That's. Oh, my God. And how about this guy, Connor? Ben.

[Ryan Garcia]

Oh, yes. So, like I said, I'm gonna really put a whooping on this man. And we will send him back to the uk Sipping on some tea.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my goodness.

[Nate Barghetta]

There it is.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That is Ryan Garcia, everybody.
