NOW HAS EVERYBODY BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CRAZY GAMESTOP STOCK MARKET
EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT.
I UNDERSTAND THIS STORY PERFECTLY.
YOU YOU S COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE, I GET IT, DOWN TO THE
BARE BONES, I UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT.
AND I WAS THINKING WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE EXPLAINED IT TO MY,
YOU KNOW, FOR A JOKE, FOR FUN.
CUZ I UNDERSTAND IT ALL SO WELL, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO HEAR IT FROM
SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON,
REGGIE, DO YOU FOLLOW IT.
>> Reggie: I FOLLOWED A LITTLE BIT OF IT, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
A LOT OF PEOPLE BOUGHT A LOT OF STUFF FOR GAMESTOP, THEY BELIEVE
IN IT.
>> James: OKAY, YEAH, YOU-- .
>> Reggie: AND GAMESTOP'S GOING TO WIN.
HA HA HA HA.
>> James: OKAY.
HERE-- I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO MY MUM AND DAD EARLIER
I HAVEN'T SEEN MY MUM THAT CONFUSED SINCE I EXPLAINED TO
HER HOW YOU PRONOUNCE SHITAKE MUSHROOMS.
GENUINELY, I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME WE WENT TO A RESTAURANT AND
MY MUM SAW IT ON THE MENU, SHITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SHE WAS
DISGUSTED.
AND I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HER, NO, NO, NO.
THAT IS HOW CONFUSED SHE LOOKED.
BUT LOOK, HERE'S THE BEST I CAN DO.
I WILL READ TO YOU THE SIMPLEST EXPLANATION I COULD FIND, WHICH
I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN ON THIS CARD.
"SOME WALL STREET HEDGE FUNDS MADE A HUGE BET THAT THE PRICE
OF SOME STOCKS WOULD GO DOWN.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON REDDIT STARTED BUYING THOSE STOCKS TO
INTENTIONALLY DRIVE THE PRICE UP, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE
HEDGE FUNDS LOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS."
THIS HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING FOR ILLUMINATING.
I HAVE GONE FROM NOT UNDERSTANDING THE STOCK MARKET,
TO EXTRA-NOT UNDERSTANDING THE STOCK MARKET.
BUT EXPERTS ARE SAYING THAT THE STOCK MARKET IS NOW IN THE
WORLD'S FIRST-EVER "MEME STOCK" BUBBLE.
"MEME STOCK."
SOUNDS LIKE THE WORST FESTIVAL EVER.
LUCKILY NONE OF THIS AFFECTS ME, BECAUSE ALL OF MY MONEY IS
SECURELY INVESTED IN BEANIE BABIES.
YOU WATCH, YOU WATCH.
ONE OF THE TRADING APPS IN THE CENTER OF THIS CONTROVERSY IS
ROBINHOOD WHICH RESPONDS TO ALL OF THIS BY ABRUPTLY SHUTTING
DOWN TRADES TARGETED BY REDDITORS WHICH YOU CAN IMAGINE
HAVE NOT GONE OVER WELL.
AND THIS MORNING JA RULE, YEP.
>> Reggie: THE VERY SAME.
>> James: YEAH, YEAH, YOU HORDE ME RIGHT, JA RULE, THE
VERY SAME, THE FYRE FEST, JA RULE, HE WEIGHED IN TWEETING YO,
THIS IS A [BLEEP] CRIME WHAT ROBINHOOD APP IS DOING.
DO NOT SELL.
HOLD THE LINE.
[BLEEP] FINALLY THE VOICE OF REASON WE CAN ALL TRUST.
SO THIS IS STWEET, JA RULE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE
FROM REDDIT, HE EVEN THIS MORNING WENT DOOR TO DOOR
DELIVERING EVERYBODY HOMEMADE LUNCHES.
MOVING ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS NOW
CONSIDERING MANDATORY COVID TESTS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
BOARDING DOMESTIC FLIGHTS AS OPPOSED TO THE LAST TEN MONTHS
OF THE PANDEMIC WHEN YOU COULD JUST BOARD A PLANE WITH A RUNNY
NOSE, AKOFF AND AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BAT.
LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY AGREE WITH THIS.
I LIKE THE IDEA BUT ONCE AGAIN I'M JUST GOING TO WEIGHT UNTIL I
HEAR FROM JA RULE ON THIS I DONE WANT TO FULLY COMMIT UNTIL I
HEAR WHAT JA RULE IS THINKING ABOUT.
>> Reggie: YOU HAVE TO LET JA RULE, RAWL.
>> James: THAT'S RIGHT, THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED JA RULE,
BECAUSE WHEN HE SAYS IT, THAT IS DONE THE RULE, DONE.
ALSO HE GREW UP IN SWEDEN.
AND HE SAID WHAT IS THE RULE S THAT THE RULE?
JA.
>> Reggie: OH.
I NEVER EVEN PUT THAT TOGETHER.
>> James: WHEN WE WERE DOING THIS SHOW IN PRIME TIME I WANTED
THE SHOW TO BE ON AT 9:00 AND MY IDEA WAS TO SEND YOU TO GERMANY,
WALKING AROUND WITH A CAMERA SAYING TO PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW
WHAT TIME THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" PRAIM TIME SPECIAL IS ON?
>> AND THEY GO NINE.
>> GOOD ONE.
>> THERE ARE GERMAN PEOPLE HERE THOUGH, COULD YOU JUST TALK TO A
GERMAN PERSON.
>> James: HOW MANY GERMANS ARE WORKING HERE?
>> NINE.
>> James: WHAT?
COME ON.
>> AH LORD.
>> James: WHY AM I THE ONLY GUY WEARING A SUIT IN LATE NIGHT
AT THE MOMENT.
>> YOUR CHOICE, MAN.
>> James: IS IT?
>> YOU MADE THIS DECISION.
>> James: I KNOW, BUT ARE YOU ALREADY IF I CHANGE IT, COME
DOWN IN.
>> NO, NO,.
>> James: HOOD YEA.
>> YOU WOULD LOOK GREAT, TURTLE NEBLG.
>> James: I CAN'T DO A TURTLE NECK.
CAN I TO THE DO A TURTLE NECK.
ME, TURTLE NECK BLAZER IS A BAD LOOK.
I LIKE JAMES AND HIS NINE CHINS.
YEAH, WHY IS NO ONE ELSE WEARING A SUIT?
>> CLARED SHIRTS AND STUFF, MAYBE NOT JUST THE WHOLE TIE.
>> James: WHAT IT SAYS TO ME IS YOU ARE ONLY GETTING DRESSED
UP FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE STUDIO AUDIENCE, YOU DON'T WANT TO
DRESS UP-- DRESS UP FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT IS RESPECTFUL TO OFF US THAT YOU
ARE WEARING A SUIT.
>> James: RESPECTFUL TO YOU, AN DON'T FORGET IT.
JUST SAYING.
JUST SAYING, THE OTHER GUYS WON'T DRESS UP FOR YOU.
LET THAT HANG, ROB.
(LAUGHTER) >> YOU GOT THEM, YOU GOT EM.
>> James: THIS IS A WHOLE [BLEEP] OF BILL CARTER'S NEXT
MOVIE.
THEY ALL GOT ON GREAT UNTIL HASHTAG SUIT GAIT.
KIMMEL IS WEARING A SUIT, ISN'T HE.
>> YEAH, KIMMEL IS WEARING A SUIT, HE HAS TO.
>> James: THAT IS TAKING THE ARGUMENT AWAY.
>> WEST COAST GUYS WEAR SUITS.
>> James: NONE OF THIS IS IN THE SHOW.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.
7 AND HERE'S SOME MORE COVID NEWS
FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW HOW, EARLIER THIS WEEK, DR. FAUCI RECOMMENDED WEARING
TWO MASKS?
WELL, NOW SOME RESEARCHERS ARE SAYING IT'S EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE
FOR PEOPLE TO WEAR THREE MASKS.
BECAUSE FOUR WOULD BE RIDICULOUS.
THREE-- HOW FOGGED UP DO THEY WANT DAVE'S GLASSES TO GET?
HERE IS THE THING, IF THIS DOES GO UP TO FOUR MASKS, I WILL BE
THE NEXT PERSON TO GO VIRAL WITH A GROCERY STORE MELTDOWN.
I WILL NOT WEAR FOUR, I WILL WEAR TWO, FINE THREE, NOT FOUR.
WHERE'S THE MANAGER?
WHAT HAPPENS IF A POP A BUTTON HERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
LOOSEN UP?
>> GET A CALL FROM UPSTAIRS.
>> James: DO YOU THINK?
>> YEAH.
>> James: CBS AREN'T WATCHING THIS.
>> CBS WILL CONTACT US.
>> James: WE DIDN'T KNOW CBS WERE EVER WATCHING THIS, THE
ONLY INDICATION WE GOT WAS WHEN WE HAD TO TAKE A JOKE OUT
YESTERDAY ABOUT RICHARD GEAR.
(LAUGHTER) >> ENOUGH SAID.
>> James: THAT WAS THE ONLY INDICATION WE'VE EVER GOT TO
ANYONE AT THIS NETWORK WATCHING THIS SHOW.
>> WHAT WAS THE JOKE?
(LAUGHTER).
>> James: I'M NOT DOING IT, MAN.
>> NO, BUT FOR REAL THOUGH.
CUZ I CAN'T-- AND, THIS IS A PRETTY SHOCKING
STORY.
ACCORDING TO A NEW LAWSUIT, IT'S ALLEGED THAT THE TUNA FISH USED
BY THE SANDWICH CHAIN SUBWAY IS NOT, IN FACT, TUNA FISH AT ALL,
BUT IS A "MIXTURE OF VARIOUS CONCOCTIONS."
THINK ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S THE BEST WAY THEY COULD DESCRIBE IT.
THAT WAS THEIR MOST PR FRIENDLY WAY OF DESCRIBING IT.
"A MIXTURE OF VARIOUS CONCOCTIONS."
NOT EVEN A MIXTURE OF FISH!
I'M NOT SURE WHAT PEOPLE EXPECTED.
IT'S SUBWAY.
NOBODY WHO IS EATING FISH AT SUBWAY IS LIKE, "EXCUSE ME, AND
WHAT'S THE CATCH OF THE DAY?" I MEAN, YOU'RE GETTING AN ENTIRE
FOOTLONG SUB FOR FIVE BUCKS, YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE THE GOOD WITH
THE BAD.
BUT IT DOES GET WORSE.
IT TURNS OUT SUBWAY'S "ITALIAN B.M.T." STANDS FOR BADGER,
MOUSE, TARANTULA.
AND, THIS IS FUN.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT INTO A SUBWAY.
>> Reggie: MAN, THAT'S TOUGH.
PROBABLY, MAYBE EIGHT YEARS AGO.
>> James: YEAH?
>> I HAD SO MANY TUNA SAND WUCH NSES COLLEGE FROM.
>> >> James: YOU DIDN'T.
>> YEAH.
>> James: THAT'S THE THINGK YOU DIDN'T, YOU HAD
VARIOUS-- VARIOUS CONCOCTION SANDWICHES. AND THIS IS FUN,
THE 24 HOUR ROADSIDE CHAIN WAFFLE HOUSE IS ONCE AGAIN
TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR VALENTINE'S THIS YEAR.
IT IS THE ONE DAY OF THE YEAR WHERE THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS AND
TO MAKE IT EXTRA ROMANTIC THEY DIM THE LIGHTS.
HERE IS HOW DUN I AM WITH THE PANDEMIC, I READ THE STORY AND I
THOUGHT THAT SOUNDS NICE.
YOU JUST KNOW THE COUPLES THAT ARE ARE DOING THIS ARE EITHER
IMMEDIATELY GETTING DIVORCED OR NEVER GETTING DIVORCED.
THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.
THERE IS NO ONE IN BETWEEN, NO ONE IS IN THE MIDDLE AROUND
THERE.
IF YOUR HUSBAND CAME HOME AND SAID I BOOKED US A TABLE FOR TWO
AT THE WAFFLE HOUSE FOR VALENTINE'S, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
>> I WOULD BE SO EXCITED.
>> James: I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A WAFFLE HOUSE, WHAT AM I
MISSING, WHAT SORT OF VARIOUS CONCOCTIONS AM I MISSING.
>> IT IS AMAZING.
>> James: IS IT, WHY.
>> HASH BROWNS, SMOOTH ARED IN COVERED WAFFLES.
>> YEAH.
>> James: WHO WAS THAT, YOU ARE SO IN THE DARK IT IS THE
ONLY TIME I HAVE KNOWN YOU ARE HERE.
>> I WILL PUT THE LIGHT ON FOR WAFFLE HOUSE, SMOOTHER COVERED
DOUBLE THE BROWN ON THE HASH BROWNS, YOU WANT THEM NICE AND
CRISPY, WAFFLES ALL THE WAY, GRITS, DOUBLE BACON AND IF YOU
ARE DRUNK, YOU JUST KEEP GOING BUT THAT IS THE BASE LINE, THAT
IS THE BASE LINE.
>> James: WOW, NEVER BEEN.
I WILL GIVE IT A SHOT.
>> IT'S GREAT, WAFFLE HOUSE.
>> James: WAFFLE HOUSE.
WAFFLE HOUSE, LET'S GO TO THE WAFFLE HOUSE.
>> YEAH, SO COOL.
>> James: LET'S GO WITH JA RULE.
>> NICE, IT'S NICE.
>> James: WELL, WAFFLE HOUSE ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE DOING STUFF
FOR VALENTINES.
>> SORRY, JUST-- .
>> James: YOU HAVE TO CUT THE WAFFLE HOUSE?
NO.
>> NICE AND CLEAN.
>> James: HOW COULD YOU CUT THE WAFFLE HOUSE.
NINE.
EVERYONE CHANGE SOMETHING ON THEIR A PARYNS.
>> IF ASKED IF I HAVE A FAVORITE FOOD.
>> James: WE'LL PICK IT UP.
DUNKIN' DONUTS.
>> NO, NO, NO.
>> James: HAS UNVEILED ITS NEW MENU.
>> NO, NO, NO.
>> NO, THANK YOU.
>> James: NO, ALL RIGHT, OKAY, PICK IT UP, PLEASE.
AND DUNKIN' DONUTS HAS UNVEILED ITS NEW MENU FOR VALENTINE'S
DAY, WHICH INCLUDES THE PINK VELVET MACCHIATO, AS WELL AS THE
-- (LAUGHTER)
GOT TO PICK IT UP.
OKAY.
AND DUNKIN' DONUTS HAS UNVEILED ITS NEW MENU FOR VALENTINE'S DAY
WHICH INCLUDES THE PINK VELVET MACCHIATO AS WALLACE THE CUPID'S
CHOICE DONUT FILLED WITH BAVARIAN CREAM, IN THIS SEASON
OF LOVE WHY NOT DO SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP YOU IMMEDIATELY
HATE YOURSELF.
THE KIND OF VALENTINE'S TREAT THAT SAYS YEAH, THIS IS WHY YOUR
MUM AN I AREN'T TOGETHER ANY MORE.
AND FOR THOSE FEELING REALLY FRISKY, DUNKIN' HAS ALSO
INTRODUCED A NEW PAIR OF EROTIC DUNKIN' HANDCUFFS NO ONE EVEN
KNOWS IF THAT IS REAL NOR THE NOT.
IT DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT WE MADE THAT UP OR THAT GENUINELY
IS A PR MARKETING SPIN.
WHICH IF IT ISN'T, IT WILL BE BY VALENTINE'S DAY.
I EAT MY WAY OUT OF SOME HANDCUFFS. I WOULD.
BUT I DON'T-- I HAVE NEVER HAD A COFFEE FROM DUNKIN' DONUTS BUT
BEN AFFLECK SEEMS TO LOVE IT.
>> THE COFFEE IS GOOD.
>> James: I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PHOTO OF BEN AFFLECK NOT
CARRYING A DUNKIN' DONUT COFFEE, GENUINELY, GOOGLE IMAGEK CAN
SOMEONE DO THAT NOW, GOOGLE IMAGEK BEN AFFLECK AND COFFEE, I
GUARANTEE YOU THE IMAGE-- IMAGE IS JUST HIM AND A HUGE.
>> ISN'T IT A BOSTON THING?
>> YEAH, VERY BOSTON.
>> James: LOOK AT THAT, DUNKIN' DONUT, ABSOLUTELY LOVES
THE STUFF.
CAN'T MOVE FOR DUNKIN'.
THAT IS THE ROAD OUTSIDE OUR KID'S SCHOOL.
>> WOW.
>> James: WHERE A GROUP OF PHOTOGRAPHERS STAND WAITING FOR
BEN AFFLECK OR JENNIFER GARNER AND THEY SEE PEA AND THEY GO OH
[BLEEP].
DID HE FALL OVER?
NAH, NO ONE IS BUYING THAT.
