>> HE WOULD TRAIN FOR SIX YEARS.
>> James: NO JOKE, NO MESSING, WE 100%.
HE WOULD BE OVERNIGHT WITH THE CREW, WITH THE BAND, WORKING IT
OUT HOW TO DO THE SONG.
HE WOULD BE MUSTANG SALLY OR SOMETHING AND IT WOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
>> BE SOME AGENT, HE HAS A HARD OUT, HE WITH BE LIKE HEY, HEY,

DOES.
>> James: HE WILL QUAKE IN HIS BOOTS ORGANIZE BAMA WILL BE LIKE
I CAN'T NOT BE ON THE "LATE, LATE SHOW."
WELL, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OBAMA DO, PLAY THE SPOONS.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
>> James: YOU KNOW, THE.
>> HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT.
>> IS HE GREAT?
BECAUSE IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS THE SPOONS HAVE BECOME SO
DIVISIVE.
AND IT WOULD BE NICE-- .
>> James: YEAH, YOU ARE RIGHT, I AM GLAD YOU SAID IT, BECAUSE
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT-- YOU ARE GOING OUT ON A LIMB THERE
BECAUSE IT IS, IF YOU GET INVOLVED IN A SPOON CHAT ONLINE
YOU WHERE ARE YOU DONE, YOU ARE FINISHED.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, THE SPOONS, THE PAST EIGHT YEARS HAVE BEEN I
WOULD ARGUE THE WEDGE THAT HAS DRIVEN DOWN THE LINE OF AMERICA.
HEY.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE WEARING SOME COME FEE ATHLEISURE WEAR.
>> OH MY GOD, MI IN A-- I AM RIGHT NOW HEAD TO TOE IN
COMFORTABLE, BREATHABLE ATHLEISURE.
AND WILL YOU NEVER GUESS WHERE I GOT IT FROM.

>> James: WHY WOULDN'T WE CLAP THAT.
THE GUY GOT FREE ATHLEISURE WEAR F THE GAP.
>> I KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY HE MAKES, HE DOESN'T NEED FREE
ANYTHING.
>> James: BUT HANG ON.
WHY IS IT AN ISSUE?
WHY IS IT AN ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TO WEAR FREE GAP CLOTHES AND
MENTION IT ON THE SHOW BECAUSE THEY SENT IT TO HIM.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I REALLY ENJOYED THE SPOON CONVERSATION.
CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT?
>> James: YOU MEAN KNOCK THE SPOONS.

>> James: WHEN WE WERE KNOCKING THE SPOONS.
BUT ATHLEISUREWEAR, BABY, BECAUSE STAND UP, EVERYONE WHO
GOT SENT A PAIR OF GAP ATHLEISUREWEAR, BABY.
OH YEAH.
THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S HOW YOU GET YOUR PRODUCT PLACED.
YOU DON'T NEED-- YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH
OF ADVERTISING ACROSS ALL NETWORKS.
JUST SENT IT HERE TO THE SHOW, AND WE'RE RIGHT BACK AT IT NOW
BACK TO THE SMOONS, THAT IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, RIGHT?
>> I THINK I'VE BEEN DOING THIS ALL WRONG.
>> James: WHAT DO YOU MEAN.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL WRONG?
>> YOU KNOW, SINCE THIS WHOLE THING STARTED, I USED TO GET
LIKE-- I WOULD GO TO LINKEDIN AND THERE WOOSH 20 PEOPLE, THE
LINKED IN PROFILE, THIS WEEK 1200 PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT MY
LINKEDIN PROFILE.
>> THAT'S.
>> THAT'S EXCELLENT NEWS BECAUSE IF WE DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT
PRODUCTS ON AIR HE'S GOING TO NEED THAT LINNEDIN PROFILE.
>> James: BUT NO, BUT WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?
WHY IS IT AN ISSUE?
>> BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER COMPANIES WHO ACTUALLY DO PUT
COMMERCIALS IN-- RIGHT AFTER THIS, RIGHT AFTER YOU TALK ABOUT
IT.
>> James: BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE SHOW, HAVING TAKEN A LOAD
OF ERECTILE DISFUNCTION MEDICATION, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN.
I'M NOT GOING TO BE BE LIKE OH, LET'S START THE SHOW, HE IS BANG
AN OZENTEC BUT IF HE THEY WANT TO SEND A LOAD OF VIAGRA, OR
WHATEVER, WE'LL GIVE IT A SHOT, YOU KNOW.
>> I'M JUST SAYING, WE ARE A PORTAL FOR OTHER BRANDS TO
REMEMBER ALL CBS LATE NIGHT, THAT IS WHERE I SHOULD PUT MY
MONEY.
>> IF THEY DO SEND THE VIAGRA WE SHOULD CHANGE OUT OF THE SWEAT
PANTS.
>> James: WE SHOULDN'T WEAR THESE, DO NOT WEAR THESE SWEAT
PANTS.
THAT'S TRUE, THAT IS NOT A GAP WE WANT TO FALL INTO, NO WAY.
NO WAY.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
>> James: NO WAY.
>> AND THE THING ABOUT ATHLEISURE IS IT DOESN'T HAVE A
VERY STRONG WAISTBAND SO YOU CAN'T DO THE WAISTBAND TRICK
EITHER.
>> James: YEAH, NO, NOTHING.
BUT WHAT IF WE, BUT LIKE I THINK THIS IS GOING TO OPEN A WHOLE
WORLD FOR THE GAP.
I MEAN THE GAP ARE GOING TO BE LIKE LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE GOT.
TO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE
MARKETING PLOI BECAUSE THEY STARTED A WHOLE LULU LEMON THING
AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL OF US WHEN I SAY LULU WHO?
WHAT?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> I TOOK OFF LULU LEMON TO PUT THIS ON.
>> James: 100 PERCENT.
AND THAT LULU LEMON AIN'T GOING BACK ON UNLESS IT A BUCKET FULL
ARRIVES ON MONDAY.
THE GAP MUST BUY ADS WITH CBS, TO.
>> WE HAVE DONE A LIVE COMMERCIAL WITH THE TBAP BEFORE.
>> James: WELL, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE NOW, A DOUBLE LIVE,
BABY, DOUBLE LIVE COMMERCIAL.
>> IT ONLY WORKS AFTER THEY HAVE PAID US.
>> James: BY WE, WE DON'T-- BUT THIS IS-- I WILL
TAKE THIS AS PAYMENT.
>> YEAH.
>> James: CUZ THEAS ARE, I SWEAR TO GOD COMFY AS HECK.
>> I HAVE THEM OVER A PAIR OF WORK PANTS AND THEY ARE STILL
COMFORTABLE.
>> James: YEAH.
LACK AT ME, I HAVEN'T GOT HOLES IN THESE, HAVE I.
LOOK AT ME, HAVE I NEVER FELT SO CHILL, THIS COULD BE ME NOW.
GUCCI UP TOP, GAP ON THE BOTTOM.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> ALL RIGHT, I'M TBING TO GO HOME.
>> James: NO, NUK, COME ON.
$1200 VIEWS ON LINKEDIN I THINK IS PRETTY HUGE.
>> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, LISTEN, I HAVE TO SAY
SOMETHING, SORRY, HAVE I TO TAKE OVER ONCE MORE, THIS IS THE
WEIRDEST THING, I HAVE A CAMERA NOW, BY THE WAY.
>> Reggie: IT IS NOT EVEN AN OPERATOR.
>> I HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLEK I AM MARRIED.
SO PLEASE-- .
>> James: WOW, HANG ON A MINUTE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHERE
DID THIS COME FROM.
>> IT GOT A LITTLE HEATED.

THE WEEKEND AND SAID THAT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH NICK, PUTTING
IT OUT THERE.

ANY LONG ERCK AMERICA IS WAITING, NAY, THE WORLD, IT'S
TIME FOR THE NEWS.
(LAUGHTER) THAT WASN'T EVEN LIKE A-- THAT
WAS LIKE THE OPENING CREDITS OF THE NEWS.
WELL, I'M GLAD YOU DID THAT BECAUSE WE HAD SOME VERY GOOD
NEWS TO REPORT.
BECAUSE EARLIER TODAY, THE C.D.C.
ANNOUNCED THAT VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN STOP WEARING MASKS OR
MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCE IN MOST SETTINGS-- OUTDOOR AND
INDOOR.
YOU HEAR THAT, PETE?
MASKS OFF, FINS UP WITH THIS NEWFOUND FREEDOM, I MIGHT NOT
KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE.
I FEEL LIKE I COULD WALK INTO A STRANGER'S BBQ, TAKE A BURGER
OFF THE GRILL, LIKE DON'T WORRY BUDDY, I'M VAXXED.
IT IS TBING TO BLUR EVERY LINE.
I WILL BE SIPPING DRINKS AT THE BAR, LET ME TRY THAT, I'M
VAXXED.
THAT'S IT, NOW, NOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A MASK
OUTDOORS OR INDOORS, NOW YOU KNOW
NOW IF YOU STILL HAVE TROUBLE DATING-- YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR
PERSONALITY.
I FOAL LIKE YOU ARE LIKE THAT'S IT, NO MASK, AND WE'LL BE LIKE
WITHIN I'M DIVING RIGHT IN, I DIDN'T GET THIS FOR PEOPLE TO
NOT SEE IT.
>> YOU MEAN LIKE NEXT TIME ARE YOU IN LIKE TRADER JOE'S
ORAL-OF-S OR YOU KNOW.
>> THE GAP.
>> THE GAP, SURE.
>> LIKE A STARBUCKS OR DRAG RA, N BONE, YEAH, YEAH.
>> WELL, AND WE'VE GOT AN UPDATE ON THAT HACKED OIL PIPELINE
THAT'S BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR THE PAST FIVE DAYS.
IT'S BEEN RESTARTED, AND SUPPLIES SHOULD BE BACK TO
NORMAL SHORTLY.
SO, IT'S ALL OVER.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT WHEN I LOOK BACK ON THESE PAST COUPLE
OF YEARS, THIS IS THE CRISIS I'LL REMEMBER.
NOW THE FUEL IS FLOWING.
THE GO-GO JUICE.
THE BLACK GOLD.
TEXAS TEA.
MISSISSIPPI APPLE JUICE.
THAT, SUBARU SARSAPARILLA.
>> THE OLD PETROLEUM, WHAT A MESS,
LOOK, I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I FEEL LIKE OUR BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS A
LACK OF CLEAR VISION ON HOW WE COULD HAVE BETTER INVOLVED VIN
I FEEL LIKE IF HE WAS INVOLVED IT WOULD HAVE LASTED A DAY OR
DOO DAYS TOPS APPARENTLY, AND THIS IS TRUE,
THE PIPELINE COMPANY PAID A RANSOM OF NEARLY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE HACKERS, ALL IN UNTRACEABLE CRYPTOCURRENCY.
I HAVE TO SAY, IT'S SORT OF AMAZING THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO
TRANSFER CRYPTOCURRENCY.
SOME OIL COMPANY CEO HAD TO BE LIKE
I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD WHICH APP, RIGHT, OKAY HAVE I DONE THAT,
WHAT, PANCAKE SWAP, WHY CAN'T I JUST VENMO THEM THE MONEY, THE
COMPANY PAID THE HACKERSES NEARLY $5 MILLION IN CRYPTO
CURRENCY WHICH IN NFT TERMS COMES OUT TO ROUGHLY ONE CAT
WEARING A NECKTIE.
AND DID EVERYBODY SEE THIS DID EVER SEE THIS, ENCOURAGE PEOPLE
TO GET VACCINE THEY THE STATE OF OHIO WILL GIVE $1 MILLION EACH
FOR FIVE VACCINATE ADD DULTS, NOW I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT, DO YOU
BELIEVE WE GOT VACCINATED FOR HEALTH REASONS THEY ARE GIVING
AWAY $1 MILLION TO SOME OHIO CITIZEN, SIDE FEKS OF THE
VACCINE MAY INCLUDE A MINOR FEVER, CHILLS AND A PHONE CALL
FROM YOUR ESTRANGED FATHER SAYING HE WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT YOU.
ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, THE STATE WIL GIVE AWAY FULL RIDE COLLEGE
SCHOLARSHIPS TO FIVE VACCINATED KIDS KIDS GETTING A SCHOLARSHIP
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE WINNING TICKET AND THIS TIME THE WINNING
TICKET IS NOT MY MOM IS LORI LAUGHLIN, AND DID EVERYBODY HEAR
ABOUT THIS MOAT ROLEA IS WORKING ON GIVING SMARTPHONES THAT CAN
CHARGE WIREILESSLY THROUGH THE AIR, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WALK
INTO THE RANGE OF ONE OF OF THE CHARGERS CONNECTIONS,
ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR.
A PHONE THAT CAN CHARGE WITHOUT BEING PLUGGED IN.
NOW IF ONLY MOTOROLA CAN CREATE A PHONE THAT WIREILESSLY THROUGH
THE AIR TURNS INTO AN iPHONE, THEY ARE ON TO A WINNER.
AND FINALLY WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS, IN HONOR OF THE
SNACK'S 100 ANNIVERSARY CHEEZ-IT INTRODUCED A SPECIAL LIMITED
EDITION BIRTHDAY CAKE THAT YOU CAN HAVE DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME,
HERE IT IS HERE, THE CAKE FEATURES CHEEZ-ITS FLOUR,
CHEEZ-IT SHORT BREAD, CRUMBLE, CARAMEL AND STRAWBERRY FROSTED.
I THINK IT IS NICE THAT YOU CAN EAT CRACKERS, CARAMEL AND
FROSTING AS PART OF A CELEBRATION INSTEAD OF THE USUAL
REASON, BECAUSE ARE YOU HAVING A BREAKDOWN.
EACH CAKE IS MADE WITH AN ENTIRE BOX OF CHEEZ-ITS.
SO NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE
AND CHEEZ-ITS TOO.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH BEN PLATT, EVERYBODY.
