| 0:22.7 | up. |
| 0:23.0 | I can't bet in this job over here, but you and I have a pre-existing relationship. What I, White House counsel will go a pre-existing relationship? And look, you're Italian. I mean, you basically are Italian. You're Jewish. I'm Italian. we got the same three ideals food Food, family, and guilt. So let's bet a little food. We're going to bet. How about Kansas diner you put up right there? I'll put up Mamas in Queens over here. Perfect. I got Argentina. You got Spain over there. Let's do another one. I think Messi gets on the score seat as well. How about that? A little double bet. I can't do it. I'll tell you why. Why not?

| 1:43.6 | Mamdani's too close to the Mets. |
| 1:45.5 | And now I can't root root for the Mets because Mammani's too close to the Mets. |
| 1:45.5 | And now I can't root for Spain because it didn't allow us to refuel our jets in the Iran conflict. |
