00:07From Studio 6B and Rockabella's center in the heart of New York City,

00:16Tonight joins Jimmy and his guests, Kiki Palmer,
00:20Gabriel Basso, comedian Rachel Williams,
00:24and featuring the legendary Ruth Purse.
00:292250.
00:31And now, here he is,
00:36Jimmy Fallon!
00:38Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:42Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:45Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:46Hey, hey, hey!
00:50Oh, yeah, come on now!
00:53Oh, thank you!
00:56Thank you very much!
01:04Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody.
01:08Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show.
01:12You're here, huh?
01:13I appreciate it.
01:15Welcome. Thank you for watching.
01:17Well, guys, the fallout from the latest Epstein Files release continues.
01:22And last night, President Trump's Justice Department said that it is not a crime to party with Epstein.
01:29You had years to come up with an excuse, and that's what you went with?
01:32That's...
01:34No.
01:37If someone said that to you at a Super Bowl party, you would slowly back away and call the police.
01:43Trump was like, partying with Epstein doesn't make me a criminal.
01:47The 34 criminal convictions do.
01:49And that's...
01:56Yeah, they said that it's not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein,
02:00which is pretty much like saying it's not a crime to have brunch with Jeffrey Dahmer.
02:04You know, it's just...
02:05Hey, this chicken finger has a ring on it.
02:08Whoa!
02:11Hey...
02:12Hey!
02:12Get this.
02:14Get this.
02:15Today, Trump said that he's suing Harvard for $1 billion in damages.
02:20Yeah, but just in case he doesn't get it, he's also suing Cornell as his safety school.
02:26It's not a fair fight when Harvard's lawyers went to Harvard Law
02:29and Trump's lawyers went to 1-800-LAWYER, you know?
02:33Switching gears to some business news, Pepsi announced that they are cutting prices
02:37on a lot of their snacks, like Doritos and Cheetos.
02:40Ooh.
02:42That's great.
02:44That's great.
02:44It's really going to save the president a lot of money on makeup.
02:49Things were so bad.
02:50I was using flaming hot takis for a while.
02:54Oh, hey, guys.
02:55Meanwhile, I just saw Netflix just dropped a trailer
02:57for a new series called Detective Hole.
03:00Dude, this is real.
03:03It's a Norwegian show based on a popular book series
03:05about a detective named Harry Hole.
03:09What?
03:11What?
03:12No.
03:13It's based on a...
03:14Really?
03:14Yes.
03:15You're not trying to make an ass out of me telling me...
03:17We got a clip, and honestly, it looks pretty good.
03:21Take a look at this.
03:26Who is it?
03:28I'm Detective Hole.
03:29I'm here to ask you a couple of questions in regards to the missing diplomat.
03:33What?
03:34I'm here to ask you a couple of questions in regards to the missing diplomat.
03:37Did you say your name was Detective Hole?
03:39Yes.
03:40Detective Harry Hole.
03:41Your name is Detective Harry Hole?
03:44Yes.
03:44You're kidding me.
03:45I'm not.
03:46Now, what I need to know...
03:47Your name is Detective Harry Hole?
03:48Yes.
03:49Come on, man.
03:51Detective Harry Hole.
03:52Your parents named you Harry Hole?
03:54They did.
03:55Now, what?
03:56They named their baby Harry Hole.
03:58Correct.
03:59Now, what I need to know...
04:00What are your parents' names?
04:02Bud and Ash.
04:03Your parents' names are Bud Hole and Ash Hole?
04:05Dude.
04:06Babe, come here.
04:07What?
04:07Come on!
04:09Ask this guy his name.
04:10What's your name?
04:11My name is Detective Harry Hole.
04:16What I need to know is, did you kill that diplomat?
04:18Yeah, I killed the diplomat, but you're telling me your name is Harry Hole.
04:21No joker.
04:22It is.
04:22On your birth certificate, it says Harry Hole.
04:25Harry B. Hole.
04:34Some more entertainment news.
04:36A new report found that Bluey was the most streamed show of 2025, with over 45 billion minutes
04:43watched.
04:44Wow.
04:44Unfortunately, there are some other children's cartoons right now that aren't as popular.
04:48For instance, Thomas and Friends with Benefits.
04:52There's also this one, the magic greyhound bus to Atlantic City.
04:57There's also Doug, the college years.
05:01Then there's Gabby's Waffle House at 2 a.m.
05:05There's also Bob, the bodybuilder.
05:09And finally, there's the boss baby.
05:14I wouldn't recommend.
05:15They're not popular.
05:16No, not popular at all.
05:17No.
05:18Guys, the Super Bowl is on Sunday.
05:20And I saw that this year...
05:22Yeah.
05:23I'm excited.
05:24How are you doing?
05:26I saw that this year, a 30-second commercial cost the record $8 million.
05:32Some companies are already testing out shorter ads to avoid high costs.
05:36I mean, check out this one from Dove.
05:38We here at Dove are proud to sell soap.
05:42That's it.
05:44To the point.
05:46That's it.
05:47Check it.
05:50Check out this ad from KFC.
05:52Chicken, biscuits, etc.
05:57Etcetera.
05:58Here's one more.
05:59This one's from Planters.
06:01These nuts!
06:02There you go.
06:03That's rude.
06:04That's just plain rude.
06:07And finally, I heard about a cannabis dispensary in New Jersey that caught on fire.
06:13Luckily, firefighters were able to quickly put it out before their mom came in.
06:16We have a great show.
06:17Give it up for Truth.

09:50Now, before you take that shot, you do have another option.
09:53You can either take the half-court shot for $20,000,
09:56or you can take a closer shot by the cloverleaf there for $2,000.

18:36Come on back.
18:40That's why you stopped Instagram?
18:42Yeah, I want to mind my own business, dude.
18:44I'm sick of everyone else's business being my business.
18:47So I was like...
18:54We're giving money people something that's going to live in.
18:57We love you.

19:39It's the best always when we do that game.
19:41I mean, right?
19:42The pressure was on us, though.
19:43We had to bring it on home.
19:44My reputation was on the line.
19:46I love Lindsey.
19:46I love Wes Wilson, but we had to take him down.
19:48They were cool.
19:49Happy New Year, by the way.
19:50Happy New Year.
19:51Haven't seen you since last year.
19:52I know. I haven't seen you since last year.
19:53Yeah, you look great.
19:54How's little baby Leo?
19:55Oh, my gosh.
19:56Leo is growing so much.
19:57I mean, you've known him since he literally popped out of me.
20:00Yeah.
20:00So he's like...
20:01I think he took his first steps on my chest.
20:03Literally!
20:04I was like, walk up, walk up.
20:05First season of Password, I think it was.
20:06He's so cute, man.
20:07Yeah, now he's talking a lot, and he's so sweet, guys.
20:10Like, he can literally, like, cuddle up to me and be like,
20:12I love you, Mama.
20:13But also, he has this other side.
20:15Ooh.
20:16Well, he turns into a Marvel comic villain.
20:20Okay.
20:21What you do for me, Mama?
20:23Really?
20:24You bad Mama.
20:25You the bad Mama.
20:26What?
20:27Like, now, son, what's going on?
20:28I'm the good Mama.
20:29What did I do?
20:30I just took your iPad.
20:32Yeah.
20:32That's a lot for a three-year-old, right?
20:34These babies.
20:35Look at this cute baby.
20:36Oh, my gosh!
20:37No, no, no, no.
20:38Oh, no.
20:39I love him.
20:40Look at you, though.
20:41You're so funny.
20:43But look at how fun you are.
20:44And he actually does the silly faces with me.
20:47I love him.
20:47It's the coolest thing, man.
20:48I love that kid.
20:49He's so awesome.
20:50He's so cute.
20:51My gosh.
20:51Oh, my gosh.
20:52If he ever wanted to get in the show business,
20:54would you support that?
20:55Yes.
20:56You would?
20:56And I was thinking.
20:58Ah.
20:58Instead of doing the whole child actor thing,
21:01you know what's never been done, Jimmy?
21:02No.
21:03A child director.
21:05Ah.
21:06A little baby director.
21:08Could you imagine?
21:09He's 11 years old, directing Leonardo DiCaprio.
21:12I'm here for that.
21:14I can see that.
21:14If we start now, we start with little TikTok reels.
21:16Yes.
21:17Instagram reels, get his feet wet.
21:18Yep.
21:19Show him what's up.
21:19By the time he ain't gray in school,
21:21he doing sitcoms, multicam.
21:23Yeah, yeah.
21:23He's a talented kid.
21:24All right.
21:25Leo, I want to see you do that.
21:26Yeah.
21:26Baby director.
21:27The first baby director.
21:28I said it to you first.
21:29I have a photo here.
21:30You had a celebrity encounter recently.
21:32Oh, my gosh.
21:33I want you to talk to me about this,
21:34because here's you and former President Obama.
21:38God.
21:38Where?
21:39Who are you?
21:40What's going on here?
21:42So I'm with my sister, Higher Ground.
21:45Their company, him and Michelle, had a party.
21:47And so I'm there with my little sister,
21:49my best friend, Laura.
21:49And when I just tell you guys that I turned into a mumbling idiot,
21:53I was like, Mr. Obama, you know, it's so good to know you.
21:56You know what I'm saying?
21:56Everything you did.
21:57It was just so good.
21:58It was just so big.
21:59And we just love you.
22:00And it's just so great.
22:01And I just knew I sounded crazy.
22:03I'm like, why did I do that?
22:05I went back to them.
22:06I'm like, guys, he thinks I have issues.
22:10Because I was not having one coherent sentence.
22:14Jimmy, it was crazy.
22:15It was crazy.
22:15I was just so, you know, when you meet somebody,
22:17you're just so blown away.
22:18Do you remember anything he said to you or his voice?
22:20He said, my family's a fan.
22:22My wife's a fan.
22:23My children are a fan.
22:24I'm a fan.
22:24You keep on doing everything that you're doing, girl.
22:27Come on.
22:27I was surprised.
22:28Come on.
22:30That's cool.
22:32It was so awesome.
22:33I got to tell you, Jimmy.
22:34It was great.
22:35It was so cool.
22:36You get to do, I want to talk to you.
22:37You do so many cool things.
22:38And I always try to bring everything up every time I see you.
22:40But I'm like, I want to get into American Idol.
22:43Oh, yes.
22:44Talk to me about this.
22:45I love American Idol.
22:46It was so cool, man.
22:47I got a chance to go out there and mentor some of the top 20.
22:50And it was good.
22:51I mean, it was so cool to hear the singing.
22:53Obviously, there are some incredible people.
22:55It's still, the work, the show is still as good as it always was.
22:57Because these are people you'll never get a chance to really know or see.
23:01You know, we know certain singers and stuff.
23:02But it's like, that's just the tip of the iceberg of the kind of talent that's out there.
23:06Yeah.
23:06Also, I got a chance to hang out with Lionel Richie.
23:10No.
23:11Oh.
23:11Guys.
23:12That's my dude.
23:13Lionel Richie and me were kicking back with our feet up, sipping so much tea.
23:17I was hoping that the mics wasn't catching what we was throwing down.
23:20Really?
23:20And by the way, he was talking about himself and he was like, you know, and they was like,
23:24Lionel.
23:25And I said, now, wait a minute.
23:27Lionel?
23:27Wow.
23:28This whole time you ain't been Lionel Richie?
23:31You been Lionel?
23:32Lionel.
23:33So then I had to act like I knew.
23:35I was like, oh, Lionel.
23:36Oh, Lionel.
23:37Oh, Lionel.
23:38So me and Lionel are thick as thieves.
23:40Wow.
23:41That's my new bestie, y'all.
23:42Did you sing with him at all?
23:43You know what?
23:44He didn't drop one tune with me.
23:46I got to do that with him next.
23:47We got to do a song.
23:48He's the most fun human being.
23:50He's the most fun.
23:51I saw him in concert last year and he crushes me.
23:53Oh, my goodness.
23:54He just is so kind hearted.
23:56And we just was laughing and joking and hanging out.
23:59He's supposed to have me at the house soon.
24:00I'll let y'all know how it goes.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Tell me.
24:03Let's talk about what's coming up this Sunday.
24:05The Burbs on Peacock.
24:06Dude, you're getting ready.
24:08Getting ready for the Super Bowl.
24:10Making your seven-layer dip.
24:12Put on the Burbs.
24:13The whole season's out.
24:14The whole season is out.
24:15Shout out to Seth MacFarlane, Brian Grazer,
24:17and of course, Celeste Huey for putting this together
24:19and giving me the opportunity to be a part of it.
24:21I mean, the cult classic, Tom Hanks,
24:23it don't get no better than that.
24:24No.
24:24So we're just taking elements of that.
24:26A couple of Easter eggs in there for the old school,
24:28OG 1989 film fans.
24:30But also, we've made it our own, you know?
24:32Yeah, because you have Jack Whitehall.
24:34Oh, my gosh. Jack Whitehall.
24:35He is the bomb.
24:37I love Jack.
24:38He's so cool.
24:38And apparently, his dad, too.
24:40I got to meet the dad.
24:40Was the dad on set?
24:42His dad wasn't on set.
24:43His mom came.
24:44She's really funny.
24:44I don't know his mom, but his dad is hilarious.
24:47Yeah, he was the best.
24:48We had so much fun together.
24:49He's a talented guy.
24:50You know what I like about Jack?
24:51He just looks like he's just kind of so innocent,
24:53and then he'll just drop some dark comedy,
24:55and you go, ooh, God.
24:56Yeah, he got some edge to him.
24:57Yeah, he does!
24:58You know what I mean?
24:59But you guys together would be great.
25:00Yes, we had so much fun on the show.
25:01I can't wait for people to see.
25:02They're such a cute couple, at least I think,
25:04but there's also something brewing,
25:06because something ain't right with him in the show.
25:08No.
25:08That's right.
25:09You'll see it.
25:09Yeah, you'll see it.
25:11And you play kind of, well, it's like a cul-de-sac.
25:15It's a neighborhood.
25:16Yeah.
25:16And it's the burbs, the suburbs.
25:17And you're kind of a nosy neighbor.
25:19Yes.
25:20I would say.
25:20We got Paula Pell.
25:21Paula Pell.
25:22Oh my gosh, our girl.
25:23Yeah, you know Paula?
25:24I mean, my favorite of all time.
25:25Why is she so funny like that?
25:27No, she's too funny, dude.
25:28I actually have to walk away.
25:29She's too funny.
25:30She's too funny.
25:31Hurts my brain.
25:32Hurts my brain.
25:32My character, Samira, she's new in this town,
25:34but her husband, played by Jack Whitehall Rock,
25:37he's from this neighborhood.
25:38So they kind of move back to Hinkley Hills
25:40to get themselves settled.
25:42They're newly married.
25:43They just had a baby.
25:44And this is kind of them trying to find their way
25:46back into a new normal.
25:48And when Samira gets there, she realizes
25:50this town isn't what it seems.
25:52They keep saying, Hinkley Hills,
25:54the safest town in America.
25:56Anytime somebody got to keep saying that.
25:58Yeah, I know.
25:59It might not be that safe.
26:00Yeah, I know.
26:01So it kind of turns into this, like, you know,
26:03whodunit type of vibe.
26:04And it was a lot of fun to film.
26:06It's good.
26:06You nailed it.
26:07I want to show everyone a clip.
26:08Here's Kiki Palmer in The Burbs.
26:10Okay, walk with me on this one.
26:12The hokas are on.
26:13Gary Wilson, retired doctor, bought what is effectively
26:16a rotting house filled with ghosts and secrets.
26:19According to insiders, there's a rumor that
26:21Alison Grant's parents killed her and buried her in the basement.
26:24And then when I confronted Gary, he said that his house had good bones.
26:28Who says that?
26:29Real estate agents, architectural preservationists.
26:33Dogs, if they could speak.
26:35Not the way he said it.
26:37How do you say it?
26:38Smirkingly.
26:41Kiki Palmer, all episodes of The Burbs premiere this Sunday
26:46on Peacock.
26:47More tonight's show after the break.
26:49Stick around.
26:49The one and only Kiki Palmer!
27:11The next guest is a very talented actor who stars in the hit show
27:16The Night Agent.
27:17Season 3 premieres February 19th on Netflix.
27:21Please welcome one of my favorites, Gabriel Basso.
27:42You're already in trouble.
27:44I'm so happy you're here.
27:46I know you don't really do many of these talk shows.
27:49No.
27:50And so I appreciate you.
27:52I hide from you guys.
27:54Yeah.
27:54But I appreciate you coming on because I find you very,
27:57very interesting.
27:58Thank you, sir.
27:58Yeah.
28:04Let's get right to it.
28:07You know what?
28:08I want to ask you about it.
28:09Fans have noticed that you deleted your Instagram recently.
28:11Yeah.
28:12I wonder if there's a story behind that.
28:14It was a pretty instantaneous decision.
28:18And I was scrolling, doom scrolling.
28:21And I saw a picture from the top of Mount Everest.
28:24Wow.
28:25And I was like, wow, this is beautiful.
28:27And then I stopped and I was like, wait, what?
28:29Why do I now know what that looks like?
28:30And it like pissed me off that that guy stepped over literal like bodies to get up there to see
28:37that view.
28:38And now I was seeing it from my couch.
28:40And it bothered me that I like had that image in my head now without any effort in that, you
28:47know, to earn that visual.
28:49And I was like, dude, through this whole platform.
28:51You felt like you didn't deserve to see the top.
28:53I shouldn't know what that looks like, dude.
28:55The view from the top of Mount Everest.
28:57Is that not insane to anyone else?
29:00I just, I felt like that.
29:03Can you unsee it though?
29:04Can you unsee it?
29:05No, that's what I'm saying.
29:06I feel like that should have been, if you make it to the top of Mount Everest, like that should
29:09be yours.
29:10There were people that like, he literally stepped over bodies of people.
29:13That's all they wanted to see.
29:14Yeah.
29:15And now I'm sitting there going, huh?
29:18That's whack.
29:19That's, that's why you stopped Instagram?
29:21Yeah.
29:22I want to mind my own business, dude.
29:24I'm sick of everyone else's business being my business.
29:27So I was like, non, that's it.
29:32That's it.
29:32Non-consensual images on the Discover page.
29:36Stop showing me these things.
29:37Yeah, you don't even see anything.
29:38It felt like magic, dude.
29:39It felt like they were just showing me stuff.
29:41Whatever.
29:41That's why.
29:43Have you ever seen a movie or anything?
29:45Yeah, but I asked to see it.
29:47You know?
29:48Oh, I see.
29:48I like pressed play to see the movie.
29:50I didn't ask to see that view.
29:52You know?
29:53It was just shown to me.
29:55Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rude.
29:56Yeah.
29:56Absolutely.
29:57I always like to talk about your hobbies when you come on.
29:59You have very interesting hobbies.
30:01You once learned how to build stone walls.
30:05Yes, sir.
30:06I remember that.
30:06That was an interesting conversation.
30:08The SWA license, yeah.
30:10Weightlifting, drums, violin, I want to say.
30:13Yeah.
30:13And then you brought some photos of what you've been up to lately.
30:16Oh, yeah.
30:16I've been backcountry skiing with my boy Eric at Wasatch Mountain Guides.
30:24Yeah.
30:24He's the man.
30:25Please change the channel if you feel like you don't deserve to see the...
30:29Yeah.
30:30I'm using this as Instagram now.
30:33Everyone look at it.
30:34Worst than Instagram.
30:35Yeah.
30:35You may never watch these skis.
30:36That's true.
30:37Yeah, yeah.
30:37Close your eyes, everyone.
30:38Close your eyes and just imagine Gabriel skiing.
30:41Yeah.
30:43I can reenact it.
30:45Where?
30:45Where?
30:46I don't want you to reenact.
30:47No, no, no.
30:47You reenact skiing.
30:49Wait, what's happening here?
30:50Is there an antenna or something here?
30:51Yeah, that's at the summit of a mountain.
30:56So that's the...
30:57That gauges, like, weathers and temperature and stuff for them to, like, relay to avalanche conditions and stuff like that.
31:04Like Mount Everest?
31:05No.
31:06No.
31:07It's not.
31:08Slow down.
31:09Sorry.
31:09It's not Mount Everest.
31:10No.
31:10It looks similar, wouldn't you say?
31:13No, no.
31:14Not at all.
31:14No one was dead.
31:16I didn't pass any bodies.
31:18Stop saying that people are dead.
31:20I'm in that headspace now.
31:23But, no, it was chill.
31:24I want to talk about The Night Agent.
31:27Okay?
31:27Let's talk about your series.
31:28The Night Agent.
31:29This is the reason why you're here.
31:33I love it.
31:34You're great.
31:34Season two was streamed 14 million times in just the first four days.
31:39Come on.
31:40Congratulations.
31:42You do good work.
31:44You're fantastic.
31:45And you film all over the world.
31:46You do all sorts of crazy stunts.
31:48Your stunts...
31:49What?
31:49No, I just...
31:50Are you mad about something?
31:51No.
31:51No.
31:54I was thinking about that recently of, like, the benefit of being an actor.
31:59Mm-hmm.
31:59Of you get...
32:01You're shown a lot of appreciation.
32:03And sometimes, like, the bad version of that is obsession and stalking and everything.
32:07But I was thinking about other jobs.
32:09And I was like, how...
32:12The benefit that I get is people saying, like, oh, I love your work.
32:15Yeah.
32:15Whereas if you're, like, a trash guy or something, like, when he doesn't show up, you get mad
32:19at him.
32:20But when, you know, he does show up, no one says, like, man, I love your work.
32:24So it's so...
32:25I was thinking about, like, the benefit of actually being good at your job and never hearing
32:30you're good at what you do.
32:31Yeah, I love that.
32:32And I was like, man, I get to...
32:34I get to...
32:36I get to...
32:36I get to hear, like, hey, man, I love your work.
32:39And that's not...
32:40Yeah, maybe tomorrow if you see your garbage person.
32:44Hey, thanks, man.
32:45Tell him, hey, thanks for what you do.
32:46You do great work.
32:47I like that.
32:48Let me do that tomorrow.
32:49Yeah.
32:50You're starting the thing.
32:51You're starting the revolution.
32:53I want to show a clip.
32:54Here's Gabriel Basso in The Night Agent.
32:57Take a look at this.
32:58Did that...
33:25Did that...
33:36Yeah, Gabriel Vasso!
33:39Season 3 of The Night Agents
33:41premieres February 19th on Netflix.
33:45We'll be right back with stand-up from Rachel Williams.
33:47Stick around!
34:05Our next guest can be seen at the Helium Comedy Club
34:09in Philadelphia February 16th,
34:12making her Tonight Show debut.
34:13Please welcome the very funny Rachel Williams.
34:23Hi!
34:26Thank you!
34:27Thank you so much!
34:29Thank you!
34:30This is such an exciting time in my life.
34:32My sister and her wife just had a baby!
34:35Yeah!
34:36Yeah!
34:37They didn't have sex, we just prayed.
34:40And she woke up pregnant, is what we tell my dad.
34:45My sister dated men her whole life,
34:47and then she fell in love with this incredible woman.
34:49And my parents struggled with it at first,
34:51which was great.
34:53It was great,
34:54because they're some of the most liberal people I know.
34:56Growing up, they were like,
34:58love is love, because love wins.
35:01And then my sister was like,
35:02meet Kimberly,
35:03and my dad was like,
35:04not like that.
35:06Mm-mm.
35:07And I love my boomer parents.
35:09I hang out with them all the time.
35:12But I'm also in therapy.
35:14It's starting to really feel like
35:16keep your friends close,
35:17but your enemies closer.
35:19And I'll tell you one thing,
35:20a boomer mom,
35:22she'll make you tough.
35:24Mine's like a gym teacher from the 70s.
35:26She'll look me dead in the eye and be like,
35:28no matter what you're going through,
35:30good or bad,
35:31it doesn't matter as long as you aren't fat.
35:37Now, my grandparents,
35:39they were even funnier.
35:40They didn't believe in mental health.
35:42They didn't have syndromes or disorders.
35:43They just gave people nicknames.
35:46If someone was odd,
35:48my grandfather would be like,
35:49oh, yeah,
35:49that's Sideshow Sally.
35:54I love how my grandmother was like,
35:55we didn't have these disorders
35:57when I was young.
35:58Now,
35:59come past my plastic-covered couch
36:01and look at my spoon collection on the wall.
36:07Yeah, so I'm in therapy.
36:10I have a new therapist.
36:11I love her,
36:12because she's older and more depressed than me.
36:14It's great.
36:15Sometimes I don't even know
36:16who this session is for.
36:19My last therapist was a Gen Z girl
36:21filled with hope.
36:22I couldn't do it.
36:23I couldn't.
36:24I love a Gen Z girlie,
36:25but to have a girl younger than me
36:26doing better than me in life,
36:28are you out of your mind?
36:31Every session,
36:32she would log in,
36:33all smiles.
36:34What's been bothering you this week?
36:37You.
36:42So I've started saying affirmations.
36:44Those are tough.
36:46If you have any self-hate.
36:48Because there's nothing like
36:49the follow-up voice in your head
36:50that makes fun of you
36:51after saying one.
36:52I mean,
36:53just today,
36:54back there,
36:55I was standing shoulders back.
36:56I am enough.
36:59And that little voice came through
37:00and was like,
37:01oh,
37:01are you enough,
37:02Rachel?
37:04Okay,
37:04forget it.
37:05Forget it.
37:07I ended up marrying
37:08a very sane,
37:10secure man.
37:11He's wonderful.
37:12He started playing golf this year,
37:14so it's over for us.
37:18I actually don't mind golf
37:20because I got to play with him once.
37:22Wives would hate golf a lot less
37:23if they got to see
37:24their husbands play.
37:26When I saw my husband tee up
37:28saying,
37:29this time's gonna be different.
37:31Then I saw him shank the ball
37:3340 yards into the woods,
37:35yell at himself
37:36in the third person like,
37:37great job, Steve.
37:39Great job.
37:40Yeah,
37:40why don't you chop one of your balls off
37:42and see if you can hit that?
37:44Maybe your father
37:45would respect you then.
37:49We went through a bit
37:50of a rough patch two years ago.
37:51It was brutal.
37:52I mean,
37:52we were seriously considering
37:53getting a divorce.
37:55And then we looked into
37:56what it would take
37:56to get a divorce
37:57and decided,
37:58let's see if this blows over.
38:01Thankfully,
38:01it did.
38:02I mean,
38:02we got married really young.
38:04I'm from a family.
38:05As a woman,
38:06if you're not married by 25,
38:07elders start to panic.
38:09Like grandma will try
38:10and set you up
38:11with literally anyone.
38:12She'll be like,
38:13you should date Greg.
38:15And Greg is an openly gay man.
38:19And when you point that out,
38:20she's like,
38:20you're too picky.
38:24We ended up,
38:25my husband and I
38:26ended up going
38:26to couples therapy.
38:28Well,
38:28I loved it
38:29because I won every time.
38:31That's all couples therapy is.
38:33You're just arguing
38:33in front of a ref.
38:35Don't let anyone
38:36tell you otherwise.
38:37There's a winner
38:37and a loser
38:38every session.
38:38She was like,
38:39point wife game.
38:42She taught us
38:43when communicating,
38:45use I statements
38:46instead of you statements.
38:48So now every time
38:49we argue,
38:49my husband will be like,
38:50hmm,
38:51I feel like
38:52I'm dealing with someone
38:53who is acting
38:54like a bitch right now.
39:02That was,
39:02that was a crazy time
39:03in my life that year
39:04because,
39:05you know,
39:06none of my girlfriends
39:06are married
39:07so I couldn't
39:07vent to them.
39:08My sister's only advice
39:09to me was
39:10try women.
39:14My guy friends,
39:15they're the ones
39:15that surprised me.
39:17When they found out
39:17my relationship
39:18was on the rocks,
39:19they said really
39:20thoughtful things to me
39:21like,
39:21are you okay?
39:22Do you need any
39:23sex?
