Been my favorite podcast for years. So happy it’s on YouTube now
The best thing about jay is he’s a normal guy!
Jag did the colors for Art Basel – yeah that's it….
Jay banked all the money he received from the Tonight Show and lived on his income from his live performances. Jay is one of the hardest working people in Hollywood because of his old school work ethic!
The problem is that Musk is pals with a 78 yr old known serial liar, draft-dodger, wife-cheating womanizer, racist, criminal fraudster, document stealing, insurrectionist, grifter, rapist, convicted felon, 4-time arrested, twice impeached, hate filled "man" who's been deemed the WORST President in U.S. history. Liberal OR conservative…. that's a real "image" problem. But of course, when you're the richest man on earth and you're also the "Vice President," does anything really matter?
Jay Leno spends money on what he cares about, which has never been about being a "big shot." Does he spend a lot on clothes? No. Is he embarrassed to use coupons? No. Will he waste money on unnecessary expensive hotel rooms? No. Will Jay spend $100,000 for a 1932 Duesenberg super-charger set up? Yes!
Great interview guys, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks!
Been listening for years and digging the new channel. Watching Johnny all of a sudden going full focus when jays car was shown confirms he’s a real car guy. Just watch it.
