| 0:00.0 | You have had to me an extraordinary 2021 working wise culminating like what two to three days ago with a very very fun segment on Jimmy Fallon's tonight show. |
| 0:12.7 | It's true. I told you I told you a text message is much harder to book being on your podcast that it is to be booked on the tonight show. |
| 0:22.2 | I actually tell you they rescheduled on me. |
| 0:26.1 | Once I think yes, we were we were booked for the day before and then I got pushed which I can now see in hindsight I was pushed for Matthew McConaughey and |
| 0:36.1 | Hi, I'm you know the band time. Yes, yes. They were on the night before and then so I was supposed to be on the 14th. |
| 0:42.1 | They moved me. I said totally understand then when I actually saw what aired that night I was like totally understand. |
| 0:48.1 | I mean obviously it was going to be totally fine no matter what. |
| 0:51.1 | But I think I was rescheduled for this show two or three times. |
| 0:56.1 | Well, it's been busy week or a busy month. I don't know. |
| 0:59.1 | I don't know who I was pushed for on this show but I'm sure to like those other celebrities it was worth it. |
| 1:06.1 | I thought that segment was great. It's a classic bit. You get a you get a tech person out and you say here's here's some tech products for the holiday season. |
| 1:15.1 | You got a funny host who's going to demo them with your assistance. You got a couple of great jokes in I thought it's actually so much easier to let to be on something like this versus like hosting something right because you don't have to be funny. |
| 1:29.1 | The host is the funny one like Jimmy Fallon is the funny one. There's nothing I can say or do that's like going to be funny or so. |
| 1:36.1 | It just kind of tried to be myself right. No matter what happens he can make a funny like the robot that follow you around thing could have completely failed. |
| 1:44.1 | And he could have made it funny in fact you know often that is what makes it funny. Yeah in rehearsal it failed every time. |
| 1:51.1 | So I was actually visibly very excited during the segment which might have been a little bit hard if everything had like gone really well and the rehearsals. |
| 1:59.1 | I would have to kind of like fake it but that was genuine happiness that it was working live. |
| 2:06.1 | There was also you Instagram before you were in the green room and Jimmy Fallon popped in to say hey this is going to be great we're going to have a great fun. |
| 2:15.1 | But sort of gave you a weird look and I was like that's why you know it's nice that he pops in so that you're not just meeting him for the first time on stage you know cool your nerves you know get get on the same page get the vibe going. |
| 2:28.1 | But why do you give her look and then you turn to the mirror after we close the door and I knew what happened you had those damn Ray band. |
| 2:36.1 | The Ray band stories. Yes partnership with Facebook slash meta. |
| 2:42.1 | Yeah yeah no I realized realize in hindsight I probably should have like tagged it that it was recorded with that but most people picked up on it with the mirror situation. |
