[Jeremy Renner]

Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

You're here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You made it. That's right.

[Jeremy Renner]

Well, guys, today is President Trump's 100th day in office. Let's be honest, it's been a bumpy ride. I mean, who knew renaming the Gulf of Mexico might actually be his high point, you know, to mark 100 days in office, Trump kicked off a multi day media blitz that the White House is framing and as a victory lap. And now all he needs is a victory. You can tell Trump just wants to focus on the positives. Today, when asked about his tariffs that tanked the economy, he said, to quote Bill Belichick's girlfriend, we're not talking about this. We're not talking about. It was a big day for the President, so he heard from a lot of different people. Check out some of the texts he got. First up, Elon Musk texted, in honor of your first 100 days, I'm naming my next 100 kids Donald.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

There you go.

[Jeremy Renner]

That's nice. Up next, RFK. I'd say we should celebrate by doing shots, but shots aren't really my thing. And finally, Pete Hegseth texted. We strike at midnight. Wait, wrong thread. Ignore this. Some more big political news today. The White House lashed out at Amazon after a report said that they would display how much Trump's tariffs are adding to the price of each product. Yep, Trump was so mad at Amazon, he just promised to make malls great again. Well, I read that the White House has been talking to outside experts as it considers restarting dialogue with North Korea. I'm not sure who these outside experts are, but based on this commercial Fox News keeps playing, I think someone's trying to get the President's attention. Take a look at this.

[Trent Smith]

Are you a current administration looking to restart dialogue with a foreign adversary? If so, wow, you're in luck. Hi, I'm Trent Smith, and for over 10 years, give or take nine and a half, I've helped people restart dialogue with foreign adversaries. Just listen to this happy customer.

[Nimesh Patel]

I was too nervous to restart dialogue with foreign adversaries, but then Trent helped me. Now I've successfully restarted the dialogue. Thanks Trent.

[Trent Smith]

Check out this footage of the moment he restarted the dialogue.

[Nimesh Patel]

I'm ready to restart dialogue. Are you? Great, thanks, Trent. You helped me restart the dialogue.

[Trent Smith]

So call now and you too can learn the tricks to restart dialogue with foreign adversaries for the low price of $5 million.

[Nimesh Patel]

Hey, man, you still haven't paid your half of the rent.

[Trent Smith]

I am in the middle of shooting right now.

[Nimesh Patel]

I need your money.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Call today, Trent Smith and associate.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Chaos Cha.

[Jeremy Renner]

Hey, did you guys see this? In an effort to meet RFK Jr. S demands, lays and Tostitos will stop using artificial dyes this year. Yeah, I agree. It's a little concerning. What color was your potato chip that you had to dye it to the color of a potato chip? Hey, guys, listen to this. I saw that Uber is offering teenagers free rides home from prom and back. You know, some 30 year old's gonna get in with a suitcase like, yeah, I'm going to the airport prom. Take me to the airport prom.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We have a great show. Give it up for the Roots, ladies and gentlemen.

[The Roots]

[Jeremy Renner]

Oh, what a show we have for you tonight. He's a very talented actor who has a new memoir out today called My Next Breath.

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Jeremy Renner]

The best stud. Look at that guy. Come on, good looking guy. Oh, she's one of my favorites. She stars in the new series north of north which is streaming now on Netflix 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Ooh.

[Jeremy Renner]

Mary Lynn Rice Cub is joining us tonight.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And we got stand up from Nemus Patel. Nemus.

[Jeremy Renner]

We'll be right back with more Tonight show everybody.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Good job. Our first guest is a two time.

[Jeremy Renner]

Oscar nominated actor who survived a near death experience on New Year's Day 2023. He recounts what happened in his debut memoir, My Next Breath in stores today. Everyone please welcome Jeremy Renner.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's what I'm talking about, buddy. Jeremy Renner, welcome back.

[The Roots]

Yes.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

We love you, bud.

[Jeremy Renner]

You're a stud. Good to see you.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Good to be here.

[Jeremy Renner]

Congrats on the book. It is in stores today. It is out, it is released.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

You say in the book that you did not want to write this.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, you know, because Jim, like I went through like a year and I was doing pretty good. I was walking again, I was doing good, I was feeling pretty good. Then the idea of writing the book came around. I'm just like, ah, God, I gotta relive this thing. Like word by word was quite the struggle. So. But I realized, you know, quickly that for anyone, especially me, to get out of My own damn way was a very important thing. And so to. To relive it, to recount it, to own it in a different way, word by word, was quite healing for me, but also was. Because it didn't just happen to me. Right. It happened to my poor nephew who was holding my arm and watching me bleed out and all that sort of stuff. So it's healing for him and for my mother, who had to get that phone call and drive 13 hours through a snowstorm to get to me in hospital and that kind of stuff. So there's so many. So when I get out of my own way, you realize you open up the avenue for what the narrative really is. It didn't just happen to me. It happened. Heck, it happened to you as well, Jimmy. There's so many exchanges that happen. So the ripple effect of one event was quite expansive. And I got out of my own way. And heck, at the end of the day, I learned a lot in writing it. It was healing in a lot of different ways. And look, we know how this thing ends. We know how the movie ends. I'm here, right? So I can endure.

[Jeremy Renner]

Thank goodness. Jeremy. I. I read stories about it and I heard about it, but I don't know if I. If I understood the actual size of this machine. Look at this thing.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

It's massive.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, it's like a tank.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah. And what is. What is it called again?

[Marilyn Ricecup]

It's a snow cat. Yes. Like a groomer that they use it in at ski resorts. Jeez. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

And then you write in this that you actually got back on it the next winter.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah. You know, it's like. Like. Like anything you sort of drive. I. I go right in the eye of the storm of any fear or anything. I didn't want this thing to haunt me or own me by any means.

[Jeremy Renner]

What'd you feel when you got back?

[Marilyn Ricecup]

It was. It's no big deal. I know how to ride. Drive the thing. It's. It's. It was. It was just interesting getting off of it because you have to step on the tracks to get off. Off this thing. And I saw, like, little pieces of my clothing in it still. And some other things that I want to say is interesting to. That was just. But then I just kind of wink and, like, I made it. You can't beat me. And I just kind of walked away. Yeah. It was just kind of a random. It just sort of. It's kind of like, you know, breaking up with your girlfriend you hadn't seen in A while. And you get back together and you're like, yeah, you ain't that good looking. You know.

[Jeremy Renner]

Thank goodness you have a sense of humor because that's what you need, Right. You write about some moments in your life here that kind of played a role in your survival. One is a breathing class. A Lamaze class.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, yeah. That was the thing that came up in writing and putting this thing together. It was. I had the opportunity. I didn't think it was a greater opportunity when I was 12, but my mom took me to a Lamaze class. She said, son, put down your cleats, because I did not go into soccer practice. Grab a pillow. I'm like, all right, where are we going? To the ymca. And, like, there's all these ladies laid out on the floor on these, like, yoga mats, and we're doing, like, the Maz class. And so we're. I'm teaching her how to. They're teaching me to teach my mom how to breathe. All this kind of stuff, right?

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

And I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Right. I'm just. Just following along, like, coloring inside the lines. But then they pull down the screen, Jim, and they play this. This movie, and it's a. It's a. Like a midwife birthday, and the woman is, you know, having. Giving birth, and she's in the bathtub and the water explodes and all this stuff. Now, I think it's beautiful now, but at 12 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

You don't forget that.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

It's like a horror film.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

You don't know what's going on.

[Jeremy Renner]

You don't forget that movie. No, no, no, no.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

So it was quite. Quite terrifying at the time, but so I'm just going, oh, my God.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah, yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

It's like a whale breaching. I don't know what's going on. So at any rate, so it ended up being, like, the most, like, valuable thing my mom ever gave to me was that invitation into that intimate moment that a woman is giving birth and mitigating her pain and helping her, feeding her ice chips. This kind of thing was quite a wonderful, as her firstborn son, to kind of be able to do this with her as my little sister that's being born and never forgot it. And then it ended up being something that was critical to me, surviving on the ice in my accident, because you could imagine, you can imagine all of the pain. There was so much pain that you can't quantify it in your brain. It's just sort of not panicking. And breathing through it all. And then I had to force breathe because there was no reflexive breathing at this point because the rib cage is collapsed on the lung, the lung puncture, eyeballs out. All this stuff's happening. It's pretty gruesome. So you don't panic, you know, like, you see the eyeball. I worry about that later. I got to get this. Literally. I'm trying to joke. I'm joking about it, but I meant it like that. Oh, I see my legs all twisted up like a pretzel Mike. That looks like it hurts. I'll worry about that later. I got to get my breath right. So I kind of revert back to like the not. I wasn't going. I was.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah, yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

I was just moaning and groaning, huffing sounds to try to. Try to get air out just so I can get a breath back in. And then, hence where the. Then that's where the title of the book really became kind of imminent to my next breath. Because it was. If you. If you can't breathe, it's. I'm a goner. Right? Anyone would be a goner. Yeah. But you did it. Yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

You survived. And it's an amazing story. And gosh, we're all so worried about you. Do you feel like. I mean, life has changed? Do you look at things differently or is it every day? Take it every day as it comes.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

You know, I feel like there's so many things that. I mean, it's a few things. Nothing has changed, but then everything has. I don't give credence or much value to, like, the white noise. I call it, like, the things that just don't have value in my life. I oversimplify my life because it is just quite that simple. And like, anytime there's. I don't have any stress, I don't get any bad days either. Right. It's impossible for me to have a bad day. Pretty awesome. Yeah. Now you don't have to get rambled by a snow cat to do that. That's why I started to write the book. It was also important to me. I think there are ways to have that perspective. The few things that we do have control of in life, for all of us is our perspective. And that is about it. We can barely control our bodies and our decisions half the time, you know, but our perspective is really quite powerful. And it's the thing. Until you, you know, you lose your mind. You have. You have control of what. How you see and perceive things. And that's the most important thing, I think, for for us to be able to do. And you know, that's. That's a big lesson for me to take away from it. It's lesson for all of us to learn how you react to your life and also how to react, how to recover. I didn't think about. I didn't recover. For me, I had to heal my family because it didn't happen to me. I tortured my poor family. My poor nephew can unsee those images.

[Jeremy Renner]

So there's a lot of almost closure for you and the family, kind of.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

[Jeremy Renner]

Thank you to everyone. Thank you to the doctors and nurses and everybody. And you describe how bad of a patient you are in docs.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

You're like, yeah, I was a terrible patient, you know, but, you know, because I could blame the drugs or not, I'm just a pain in the butt is what I was. I tried to break out many times. You know, they handcuffed me to the. The bed. Cause they kept trying to break out. And then, mind you, these are the slowest breakouts ever.

[Jeremy Renner]

Cause you can't move.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

I never made it move. I never made it to the front door. To the door.

[Jeremy Renner]

You're like, I'm leaving.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

I have my out here.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Here I go. You can't get me in. I'm out of here.

[Jeremy Renner]

I'm breaking out.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

I had nine machines dragging at an epidural. All these machines, they're all going off. It's like everyone knew what I was doing.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

But I was like, alex, you gotta pack up my stuff. We're getting the hell out of here. Like in the middle of the night, they're trying to be quiet.

[Jeremy Renner]

I also love. I mean, I mean, I don't love this, but the doctor said you could never run again. Not only are you running again, you're doing your own stunts again, dude.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

[The Roots]

Yeah.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. That's a cool thing. Those are, you know, those are. That's an awesome thing. Yeah. I was told I was never going to walk. Walk right again. It's. Yeah, that was pretty terrible news. But Mayor, again, are you doing your own. Yeah, doing the own stunts and being able to do that stuff, it's a good thing. Have you ever get a big milestone?

[Jeremy Renner]

Do you ever get scared doing any of these stunts and all these moves that you've done?

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Oh, no, there's only like one because I'm pretty good with fear. But there was one time with Tom Cruise, of course. Right.

[Jeremy Renner]

Oh, no.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

You know, we do in Mission Impossible, there's this scene at the Burj Khalifa. It's the tallest building in the world. And we're at the top of it, of course, and he's hanging out of the building on a couple of wires. And I'm supposed to be holding him by the ankle. And I'm in nothing but slacks and the window's gone. This guy's got a rope around like this to belt. And I go to lean out to grab Tom and to start shooting. And I look back and the guy holding me, he's like on his phone, not even paying attention.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm like, dude, that is scary. That's scary right there. Get off your phone.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

So I'm screaming at Tom, like, dude, I'm. If I fall, I'm grabbing something on you on the way down. Because you also. It was so high up, man. You can make four phone calls before you hit the ground. So, I mean, it's that high up. It's crazy.

[Jeremy Renner]

I will say, one of the things that came out of this, you started, you and your family started Camp Renovation. Can you explain what Camp Renovation is?

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yes, yes. It's a foundation to give foster youth and disadvantaged youth a lot of opportunities, build community for them, consistency and continuity. Very hands on. With the kids in the community in greater northern Nevada spreading out to all of Nevada now, we're having a couple camps this summer season. Can't wait. And then the whole family's now gotten involved. One sort of reaction from the incident, the accident, whatever you want to call it. But we get a now instead of like 4th of July, having a family party, we now do a great sort of hosting for like 100. Now it's 200 foreigner foster kids this summer. And we do it continually. And it's a great, great, great. And I'm very, very proud to. Good for you, bud. Yeah.

Look where I'm the started at. I'm a part of that downtown Philly weird filling in. The heart attack wasn't really that ill until it started. Now I'm the first out the limo like Charlie Mack. So triple five is hitting the loudest one.

[Jeremy Renner]

Our next guest is a very talented actress and comedian who you can see in the new series north of north, which is streaming now on Netflix. Please welcome Mary Lynn Riceguff. Mary Lynn, it is so great to see you. And you brought your bag.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

This is like a New York.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah, it's just no big deal.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

I don't have an emotional support animal, but I have an emotional support Clementine.

[Jeremy Renner]

Oh, my God, a Clementine. That is so good. Thank you for coming on. Thank you for my Clementine. I appreciate.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

So happy to see you.

[Jeremy Renner]

I love seeing you. I will say congrats on your special, by the way. It's on YouTube right now. There's a comedy special called Road Gig and it's very funny. Marilyn Rice Crab, which I first. When I first met you, you were stand up. It was pre 24.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yes.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

And I only did comedy before 24, so the recent special was one night only. It was a part of a tour I was already doing because it was self financed, you know, self produced. And it's at Zany's. It was at Zany's Chicago. The audience didn't know they were there for a special, so probably half of them just were coming to the club.

[Jeremy Renner]

We talked about this in the show before. You said that you've gotten mistaken for Jenna Fisher from the Office.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

That is true. People think I am Jenna Fisher. Love her. Pam from the. That's my Type. Like, I'm a mild mannered, you know, indecisive white woman. Like, the love of a good man will make me stronger. That's my type. I get that. Like, I could have been Pam. But the thing is, in real life, I try to. I know I'm like that. I'm a gentle person, but can I. I'm always paying for men. When does that stop? You know? Like, I'm like, I'm mild mannered. Take care of me, and then I'm the boss. Yeah, I'm the badass boss bitch.

[Jeremy Renner]

That's what your nickname is. That's your moniker. That's what we all know.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

And I don't want to be. I'm like, please take care of me. Let me go to lunch. But every relationship runs its course. And I'm like, get out of here. Here's 10 grand. Like, what am I, Hugh Hefner? Like, what's happening? Yeah, you can take the mattress. Go. I'm done with you. Bring in the next. I don't know who I am.

[Jeremy Renner]

No, just we were talking backstage. By the way, another friend of ours, Sarah Silverman. You guys were roommates at one point.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

We were roommates.

[Jeremy Renner]

I didn't know when.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

That's cool. Well, our mutual friend Tracy, that was the cool part. Here's a testament to how wonderful Sarah Silverman is. She did not know me. And Tracy said, I Sarah, is going to come and take this second room in the apartment. So it's two bedrooms and a middle section. And Tracy, I was living in this, like, comedian's flop house in the Valley. And there was watermelon, there was vodka, there was a large lizard. Like, there were a lot of things.

[Jeremy Renner]

In this house that sets the scene.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

And Tracy said, why don't you come and be our third roommate? I'll ask Sarah. And Sarah, without meeting me, said, okay. And so I lived in the middle of their two bedroom apartment, paying like 100 bucks a month.

[Jeremy Renner]

Wow.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

I didn't know what was going on. You know, I was just trying to get along. Sarah's mother, at one point, out of pity, bought me a daybed because I was sleeping on the floor and I had candles next to my bed. And one night I set the daybed on fire because I fell asleep and I woke up and I was trying to put the fire out.

[Jeremy Renner]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

And I got it out with my hands and I went, oh. Went back to sleep. And I kept waking up in pain. Oh, what is this pesky pain that's keeping me from sleeping a Bubble on my hand.

[Jeremy Renner]

What is wrong?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

I drove myself to the ER with my left hand out of embarrassment. They wrapped it up the next day. Both Tracy and Sarah were like, why didn't you tell us? We would have driven you to the hospital.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah, or you burned the apartment down.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Well, thankfully it didn't go that far.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, it didn't either.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Just my own lack, you know. I don't like to be a burden.

[Jeremy Renner]

You're so thoughtful. Congrats on your new show, by the way.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Thank you.

[Jeremy Renner]

North of north is getting incredible reviews. Rotten tomatoes. It's 100% right now.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Congratulations.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Mary Lynn Rice cup.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Fantastic.

[Jeremy Renner]

And we have big news. It's been picked up for a second season.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

First to know.

[Jeremy Renner]

Congratulations. Thank you. Explain the show for anyone that's getting into the show.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

It is north of north based. I'm so proud to be a part of this show. It's like a dream come true. It's based on a young, modern Inuit woman who is on a journey of self discovery and she blows up her marriage in order to find herself. And she's a mother and everybody in the small town knows her business and is seeing all of her mistakes as she's trying to grow as a person. I play the white lady on the show. I'm a little bit of the gatekeeper, the Karen type on the show. I asked my son if he thought I could play a Karen type and he went, yes.

[Jeremy Renner]

He didn't even think about it. He didn't even think about it.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

No. You didn't have to answer so quickly. But our show is starring Anna Lamb, who was just nominated for a Gotham Award for this show for best comedy performer.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

It's the best.

[Jeremy Renner]

And where did you, where did you film?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

We filmed in Iqaluit, Nunavut, which is a territory of the Canadian Arctic. Listen to this. Okay? I live in la, so the flight there is LA to Toronto, right? We all know Toronto. Toronto to Ottawa. Heard of it. When you get to Ottawa, you get on a little airline called Canadian North. Shout out. You heard of that?

[Jeremy Renner]

No.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

No, no. So you're in Ottawa and you take another three hour plane ride and as you're looking out the window, trees start to go away, colors. It's just everything becomes white and ice and snow. And they also offer you a special coffee halfway through the flight. Would you like a special coffee? No, thank you. I think you want a special coffee.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Really?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yeah. It's got some booze in it, some chocolate, some whipped cream. Because they know, let's soften the edges for you a little bit.

[Jeremy Renner]

You're about to be.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yeah, you want to. You want. I thought I had it, you know, I thought I got this. I landed, I stepped foot off the plane, took a breath in. I don't got this. I think my entire insides have frozen.

[Jeremy Renner]

Really?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Just. Yeah, it was 20 below.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

It turns out I kept breathing. Yeah, you can breathe that. It's just different.

[Jeremy Renner]

What is it like and what's your experience?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Everything that we did took place. We stayed at the same hotel.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

That was our hair, makeup. That was our production office. At the end of the first week of shooting, I was walking outside. I had acclimated a little bit. And I have this memory of my son. First of all, I said, are you okay with me? I'm gonna be gone for three months. He goes, three months? I said, yeah. Is that okay? Are you gonna be chasing that bag, though? I said, excuse me, Are you chasing that bag? I said, yes, son, I'm chasing that bag. So he wasn't worried about me being gone. He just wanted to make sure I was making money.

[Jeremy Renner]

Chasing.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Chasing the bag.

[Jeremy Renner]

Chasing the bag.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Chasing the bag.

[Jeremy Renner]

Are you chasing that bag?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Chasing that bag, though.

[Petunia]

Wow.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

He's not missing me, but I'm in the Arctic. The first week he texts me, hey, mom, can you get me face wash from Amazon? I said, sure. About an hour later, he texts me again. How do you boil water? He's 14.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah. And you go, this is interesting.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

And then the next day, I'm doing the same walk and I look over and I see an 8 year old skinning a caribou that I just have to believe he's killed himself.

[Jeremy Renner]

And your son wants dove men's care sent to him.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

It's a different culture.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Yes.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

It's a different man is surviving. He's self sustaining. He's feeding the entire village for a month.

[Jeremy Renner]

Isn't that wild?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Like, that guy can do it all. Yeah.

[Jeremy Renner]

Are you excited about season two?

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yeah, I'm really excited to get back there. So I met the best people. We had a lot of the locals be in a lot of our scenes, some of them being on the crew. We hang out, we play in the snow, see the northern lights. I can't wait.

[Jeremy Renner]

Yeah.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Marilyn Rice Cub north of north is streaming now on Netflix. More tonight to after the break.

[Lady Fluffernutter]

Stick around, everybody.

[The Roots]

Eyes for your eyes. Don't blink. Black ink has arrived on Rise report. I think it's a side for your life with the blood clot filling your head. Two, one, five, go. He Reminded me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Our next guest can.

[Jeremy Renner]

Be seen on tour this summer with a stop at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts center in New York June 27th. Please welcome the very funny Nemesh Patel.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Petunia]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. How's everybody's economy doing? Good. Y'all ready to manufacture? My economy's doing great. Thank you very much. My wife and I, we just had our first kid. Thank you. Our newest employee, she's making a car for us right now. It's our first kid, but also our last. Thank you. Everyone who has more than one kid is always like, don't worry. You're gonna want a second kid. You'll forget all the bad things about having that first child. No, I won't. I wrote them down. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot having a kid. I don't have any more jokes. I just had to get out of the house. So thank you, Jimmy, for letting me be here. I keep getting notifications on my phone from my nanny. Cry detected in the nursery. It's just my wife having a breakdown. Don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful that we had a daughter. However, I did envision having a boy. I thought my son was gonna be the first Indian kid to play in the NBA. That's why I named my daughter labronda. Look out. Bronny James.

[Jeremy Renner]

Stupid.

[Petunia]

I know. You're right. Having a kid has made me realize that I might have been a bad child myself. You know, I had anger issues as a kid. When I was in sixth grade, I got put in anger management because some bullies stole my inhaler. Chased them with a rock.

[Jeremy Renner]

Give me my inhaler.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

I'll inhale you.

[Petunia]

And they put me in anger management. And the first thing they teach you, breathing techniques. Bro, just give me my inhaler. My dad worked 90 hour weeks, but every morning I'd find a way to bother him. One morning, I sent my sister in. I said, noka, go in the bedroom. Give mom and dad the finger. It means good morning. I didn't see her. I did not see her give them the finger. But I did hear my mom slapped her across the face. Said, who told you to do this? My sister. Gangster. I would rather die than snitch on my brother. Oh, sure. Thank you. Yeah, it's a good joke. I like it. Having a kid has also made me feel poor. Yes, poverty is great.

[Marilyn Ricecup]

What?

[Petunia]

It's a big theme in my life, financial insecurity. But I think it's because I grew up thinking I was rich, because my parents had one liquor store. But then I met actual rich kids when I went to summer camp. My roommates were the son of a very famous cardiologist, an investment banker's kid, and then the grandson of the president of Nicaragua. And I'm in there like, y'all want some of this whiskey I stole? It's in a plastic bottle. It's good. Anyway, I remember that day I called my dad up. I said, dad, we are poor. You need to work harder. Okay, son, I will. But I have to go right now. I'm being robbed. Thank you, Dad. I appreciate it. My bad. I'm sorry. Anyway, as Jimmy said, I'm going on tour right now. I've traveled all across this country and I realized we're an angry country. Christians have bought up. All these billboards say, repent or you're going to hell. Confess your sins or you're going to hell. I feel like, as a Hindu, I should buy some billboards up just to lighten the mood. Try again. You'll get them next time. That's a theology joke. If you didn't get it now, you'll get it in your next life. I promise. That's a good one. And you're all welcome. You're all welcome to attend the Nimesh Patel show. Everyone. Everyone is welcome. You might learn something. You might even have your life saved. The last show I did, a 70 year old white guy passed out during the middle of my set. I've never seen an Indian person be funny before. I've been racist my whole life. I'm so wrong. But there's no better place to pass out than at Nemesh Patel's show. Because as soon as he did, 100 Indian doctors got up. I swear to God. And they all went to help him. They all went to help this guy. Unfortunately for him, his last words were, I don't have insurance. They all sat back down. I'm Nemo Chateau. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Neil, set that down. Fantastic. That's right, Nevaeh Ra. See Neffy. West Hampton beach performing arts center June 27th we'll be right back, everybody.

[The Roots]

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Marilyn Ricecup]

It's Gary.
