♪ THREE THINGS ♪ REGGIE, WHAT'S FIRST?
>> REGGIE: NUMBER ONE.
>> JAMES: NUMBER ONE.
THE RECENT PROTESTS HAVE HAD FAR-REACHING EFFECTS FROM
RAISING MONEY TO HELP FIGHT INEQUALITY TO REFORMING THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
AND THEY'VE FINALLY HAD A MONUMENTAL IMPACT ON THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
VICTOR WILLIS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE
PEOPLE, TOLD DONALD TRUMP IN A POWERFULLY-WORDED FACEBOOK POST,
THAT, IN LIGHT OF HIS RESPONSE TO THE PROTESTS, THE VILLAGE
PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW TRUMP TO USE THE SONGS,
"Y.M.C.A." OR "MACHO MAN," AT HIS RALLIES.
AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES, DONALD TRUMP CONSISTENTLY
USED THE SONGS, "Y.M.C.A." AND "MACHO MAN" AT HIS RALLIES.
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED, THE COPS TURNED ON TRUMP... AND THE
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, AND THE COWBOYS, AND THE LEATHER
DADDIES?
BASICALLY, TRUMP CAN NO LONGER DO THIS:
♪ MACHO MACHO MAN ♪ ♪ I'VE GOT TO BE A MACHO MACHO
MAN ♪ ♪ I'VE GOT TO BE A MACHO MAN ♪
SINCE THE PRESIDENT CAN NO LONGER USE MACHO MAN AS HIS
WALK-UP MUSIC, HERE'S A SONG THAT ACTUALLY MIGHT BE MORE
APPROPRIATE: ( "BITCH" BY MEREDITH BROOKS )
♪ ♪
♪ ♪ I DO NOT FEEL ASHAMED ♪
AND NOW THAT "MACHO MAN" IS UP FOR GRABS...
( "MACHO MAN" PLAYING ) >> Reggie: WOW.
>> James: YOU REMEMBER THAT, REG?
>> Reggie: I DON'T.
>> James: REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO MAKE A SHOW?
THERE WERE PEOPLE AROUND?
WE WERE SO YOUNG THEN.
I'D LIKE ANOTHER NUMBER PLEASE.
>> REGGIE: NUMBER TWO.
>> JAMES: NUMBER TWO.
THIS WILL CHEER US UP.
AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE EMERGE FROM THEIR QUARANTINES AND
RE-ENTER THE WORLD, AT FIRST IT MIGHT FEEL STRANGE.
THAT IS, UNTIL YOU GO OUTSIDE, TAKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, AND
HAPPEN UPON A MAN WALKING HIS PET GOOSE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> OH, NO, NO, NO, NO!
( LAUGHTER ) >> JAMES: HEY, GUY WHO WRAPS
SNAKES AROUND YOUR SHOULDERS, MOVE OVER, THERE'S A NEW WEIRDO
IN TOWN.
THAT LAUGH IS AMAZING.
IT'S THE MOST INFECTIOUS THING I THINK I'VE EVER HEARD.
YOU KNOW WHERE THAT LAUGH BELONGS.
>> OH, HO, HO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
( LAUGHTER ) AND REGGIE, THE FINAL NUMBER.
>> REGGIE: NUMBER THREE.
>> JAMES: FINALLY, IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AT ALL
RECENTLY, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THE TERM "KAREN" THROWN AROUND A
LOT.
IT REFERS TO A CERTAIN TYPE OF ENTITLED WHITE PERSON.
KARENS MOST OFTEN HAVE VERY AGGRESSIVE HAIRCUTS, MARK THEIR
TERRITORY WITH "LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE" SIGNS, AND CAN BE FOUND
ASKING FOR YOUR MANAGER AT CHILIS OVER A RIBLET DISPUTE.
KARENS WERE INTRODUCED TO THE WIDER WORLD MOST RECENTLY BY A
WOMAN WHO CALLED THE POLICE ON A BLACK MAN IN CENTRAL PARK WHO
WAS THERE BIRD WATCHING.
NO ONE WANTS TO BE A KAREN.
INCLUDING OUR BAND, WHO YOU PROBABLY HAD NO IDEA HAS BEEN
NAMED KAREN FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
BUT "KAREN" HAS REALLY LOST ITS APPEAL AS A NAME FOR A BAND.
AT THIS POINT, IT'S LIKE CALLING YOURSELVES DONALD TRUMP AND THE
SINGING MITCH MCCONNELLS.
THIS HAS BEEN BREWING FOR QUITE A WHILE AMONGST EVERY MEMBER OF
KAREN.
REGGIE, HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SAW "KAREN" USED IN SUCH A
NEGATIVE WAY?
>> Reggie: AT FIRST, DWI I GUILLERMO BROUGHT IT UP AND I
JUST AGREED IMMEDIATELY.
>> James: THAT'S WHAT WE ALL DO.
WHAT HAPPENED, GUILLERMO.
WERE YOU, LIKE, GUYS, WE SHOULD CHANGE THE NAME?
>> AND TWO OF THE BAND MEMBERS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING
ABOUT.
THEY WILL REMAIN NAMELESS.
REGGIE AND -- >> YEAH, I HAD TO DO A LOT OF
RESEARCH MYSELF.
>> James: WHY DID YOU CALL THE BAND KAREN IN THE FIRST PLACE,
REG?
>> WELL, IT CAME FROM AN OLD BAND MACH 2.
MY KEYBOARDIST AND I WERE JOKING AROUND AND SAID IT WOULD BE
HILARIOUS TO HAVE A HARD CORE BAND NAMED KAREN BEHIND THEM AND
THEN ON FIRE.
>> James: YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO CALL THE BAND KAREN BEFORE WE
EVEN KNEW WHO THE BAND WERE GOING TO BE ON THE SHOW.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
>> James: TIM, HOW ARE YOU TAKING THE NEWS YOU WILL NO
LONGER WITH A MEMBER OF KAREN?
>> IT'S SHOCKING.
MY PARENTS ARE DISAPPOINTED.
THEY'VE GROWN VERY ATTACHED TO THE NAME.
>> James: THIS IS A MONUMENTAL DAY ON THE SHOW BECAUSE THE
AUDIENCE HAS FIRST HEARD THE BAND IS CALLED KAREN, THEY NOW
HAVE TO PROCESS WE'RE CHANGING THE NAME.
THIS IS THE MOMENT.
WE'RE READY FOR THE BIG REVEAL.
GUILLERMO, GIVE US A DRUM ROLL, PLEASE.
TELL US THE NEW NAME OF THE BAND.
( DRUM ROLL ) >> MISSA.
>> James: THAT'S IT!
WHAT A LET DOWN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I'M RELIEVED.
>> James: THE BAND IS NOW CALLED MELISSA.
THERE YOU ARE.
IT'S AN AMAZING NAME.
I JUST WANT TO SAY TO ALL THE MELISSAS OUT THERE, BE COOL,
OKAY?
>> DON'T SCREW IT UP.
>> James: ON THAT NOTE, TAKING US OUT
TO BREAK, REGGIE WATTS AND MELISSA!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SENATOR CORY BOOKER.
