[0:00] Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome
[0:02] to The Tonight Show. This is it.
[0:04] You made it.
[0:06] Thank you for watching at home.
[0:08] It's gonna be fun. Guys, the midterm elections
[0:11] are just 12 days away.
[0:13] And last night, President Trump held a rally in South Carolina,
[0:16] and everyone's talking about this really weird noise
[0:18] he made while he was talking.
[0:20] This is real. Listen to this.
[0:22] I'd say 90% of the reason I took the governor...
[0:26] I took the governor. I put her over at the United Nations.
[0:31] Can we hear that again?
[0:36] That's like a burp, a hiccup, and a dry heave all in one.
[0:42] Sounds like Melania on their wedding night.
[0:59] Trump's been in so many MRI machines,
[1:01] he now sounds like one.
[1:06] You're not gonna believe this, but the sound has already been
[1:08] turned into a hit dance remix.
[1:10] What? Check it out.
[1:11] 90% of the reason I took the governor...
[1:15] 90% of the reason I took the governor...
[1:20] 90% of the reason I took the governor...
[1:23] 90% of the reason I...
[1:26] I looked at his ass...
[1:29] I looked at a bottle of muscle...
[1:31] I looked at his ass...
[1:34] God bless you all. Thank you.
[1:37] There you go. That's a bang.
[1:39] Right there.
[1:45] And during the same rally last night,
[1:46] Trump said that he called the CEO of Google to ask him
[1:49] to change the name of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean
[1:51] to the American Ocean and Trump Ocean.
[1:55] Once again, 12 days before this election,
[1:57] it's good to see him locked in on the really big issues.
[2:01] Trump's having a busy travel week,
[2:02] because earlier tonight, he held a rally in Iowa.
[2:04] He's been all over the country campaigning for the midterms,
[2:07] hitting nine states in the past week,
[2:09] and they started playing a new announcement
[2:10] in the arena before he speaks.
[2:12] Did you see this? Check it out.
[2:13] Welcome to President Trump's midterm rally.
[2:16] As a reminder, no booing, no heckling, no fact-checking,
[2:19] no mentioning the president's approval rating,
[2:21] no leaving when the president talks about
[2:23] a male senator's muscular buttocks,
[2:25] no putting on a blonde wig to try and get hired
[2:26] as press secretary,
[2:27] no shouting out giraffe
[2:29] when Trump takes his daily cognitive test,
[2:31] no trying to lure Trump offstage early
[2:33] by leaving a trail of Reese's Pieces,
[2:34] no laughing when the president tries to pronounce
[2:36] Vivek Ramaswamy,
[2:38] and of course, no waking up the president
[2:40] when he falls asleep.
[2:41] There's just been the quick rules, fast rules.
[2:43] Well, there are a lot of big elections coming up,
[2:50] but local races are important, too,
[2:52] and some of the candidates are very, very interesting.
[2:55] For example, this clip from Indiana went viral this week.
[2:58] Take a look at this.
[2:59] I deliver a lot of groceries and packages for my community,
[3:03] so if you trust me, you know, delivering your groceries,
[3:06] you should trust me with your vote.
[3:08] I love the schools.
[3:09] I'm total supporter of the schools and the teachers.
[3:11] And I spoke to the Connersville chief of police,
[3:15] or I'm sorry, firemen, you know?
[3:17] I'm like, come on, they didn't do, did they, did the full 3%?
[3:23] The data centers want that water, man.
[3:26] Repeat that again.
[3:27] Firing all Republicans.
[3:29] I wouldn't let them, I mean, I don't even talk to them.
[3:34] I don't like them.
[3:35] Well, she later admitted to having, quote,
[3:40] three beers before the forum,
[3:44] which raises even more questions.
[3:45] So now here to comment is Democratic candidate Jamie West.
[3:49] Did I win?
[3:54] No, no, you didn't win yet.
[3:56] I feel like I have to ask you a question.
[3:58] Are you drunk right now?
[3:59] Absolutely not.
[4:01] I'm completely sober.
[4:03] Ask me anything.
[4:05] How many beers have you had today?
[4:07] Three.
[4:09] But beers aren't my problem, Jimmy.
[4:11] You want to know what my problem is?
[4:14] Pills?
[4:16] Republicans.
[4:19] I want to put them in a...
[4:20] Well, I just wish they all lived in a big old hole
[4:24] and we didn't have to hang out with them.
[4:31] All right, I get you don't like Republicans.
[4:33] Well, what are the other problems
[4:34] that you're trying to solve for the voters?
[4:36] Problems are not my problem, Jimmy.
[4:40] You want to know what my problem is?
[4:43] Weed gummies?
[4:44] Republicans.
[4:48] I don't like them.
[4:50] You know what we should do, Jimmy?
[4:53] What?
[4:56] You should sneak into their house
[4:58] and open their underwear drawer
[5:00] and put peanut butter in their Tidy Whites
[5:03] so when they put them on, they're like,
[5:05] Did I have an accident?
[5:06] Ha, ha, ha.
[5:11] Yeah, that would be hilarious.
[5:16] Hey, I'm sorry, are you drinking another beer?
[5:19] No, this is water.
[5:22] No, it's definitely beer.
[5:24] Oh, cool, I love beer.
[5:29] Beer's not a problem.
[5:31] You know what my problem is?
[5:34] Horse tranquilizers?
[5:37] Repumpkin lens.
[5:40] They got like, they got like, I think you know what I mean.
[5:46] Not really.
[5:47] Okay, here's my impression of a Republican.
[5:57] They drink beer?
[5:59] No, no, I haven't started yet, shh.
[6:03] Listen, listen.
[6:04] Uh-huh.
[6:05] Watch this.
[6:06] Yeah.
[6:07] Damn Republican.
[6:11] Hey, f***er.
[6:16] All right, Jamie West, everyone.
[6:18] You guys hear about this?
[6:24] Pete Hegseth wanted a priceless historic globe that once belonged to President Eisenhower,
[6:29] moved to his office.
[6:31] And while moving it, his staff dropped it and broke it.
[6:33] Yeah, they broke the globe.
[6:36] I'll take obvious metaphors for 1,000, Kent.
[6:40] Well, Elon Musk is in the news and I read that he wants to merge his two companies,
[6:46] SpaceX and Tesla, but I think that they're still ironing out the details.
[6:49] Check out this video I saw.
[6:51] Two cutting-edge companies are combining as one.
[6:54] That's right, SpaceX and Tesla are now sex tape.
[6:59] Wait, no.
[6:59] Tesla and SpaceX are now testes.
[7:03] Nope, bad.
[7:04] Tesla and SpaceX are now tax season.
[7:07] Nope.
[7:08] Are now all my exes live in Texas, worse.
[7:11] Are now ass salsa.
[7:13] Nuh-uh.
[7:13] Are now...
[7:15] Screw it.
[7:16] The new name is Twitter.
[7:18] Someone's got to use their name.
[7:21] Why not? That's a good...
[7:27] Well, some more business news.
[7:28] Apple Music just debuted a new logo.
[7:31] Take a look.
[7:32] Mm.
[7:35] This is what happens when logos go off Olympic.
[7:37] Yeah.
[7:39] I saw that Pepsi just renewed their contract with Taco Bell
[7:42] for another 10 years.
[7:43] It's one of those relationships where you're not sure
[7:45] who's settling for who.
[7:48] Well, with all that's going on in the world,
[7:49] it can be very easy to be overwhelmed.
[7:51] So here with tips on how to stay in balance,
[7:53] please welcome mental health expert Dr. Will Brainer.
[7:56] Dr. Will, welcome.
[7:59] Thank you, Jimmy.
[8:00] Thank you so much.
[8:02] You know, as a therapist, I love sharing techniques,
[8:06] obviously, that help people stay, you know,
[8:08] in a positive mental space around holidays, like Halloween.
[8:12] Now, have you ever gone trick-or-treating
[8:14] as a perky jack-o-lantern?
[8:17] I don't think so.
[8:19] Is that what you recommend?
[8:20] Oh, yes.
[8:25] In fact, I've put all my feel-better tips into a song.
[8:29] All right. Fantastic. Let's hear it.
[8:32] Say less.
[8:35] If your brain's ever stuck in a negative pattern,
[8:40] just go trick-or-treating as a perky jack-o-lantern.
[8:45] If you ever get blackmailed in an underwater cavern,
[8:50] just go trick-or-treating as a perky jack-o-lantern.
[8:53] Perky jack-o-lantern.
[8:55] Don't you feel like dancing?
[8:58] Not bad, but it was good.
[9:00] I just, sorry.
[9:01] Did I hear you say blackmailed in an underwater cavern?
[9:05] Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
[9:09] I'm just singing about ways to help people.
[9:12] Would you like to hear more?
[9:15] Sure.
[9:18] Here's an affirmation that anyone can learn.
[9:22] You just look in the mirror and say,
[9:23] I'm going trick-or-treating as a perky jack-o-lantern.
[9:29] If you wake up in the kitchen of a seedy old tavern,
[9:33] and there's a cockfight raging,
[9:35] and you get a frying pan burned.
[9:37] Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop.
[9:39] Will, I'm going to need you to stop there,
[9:40] because your song is a little drifting.
[9:42] You okay? I'm starting to get concerned.
[9:45] Starting to get concerned.
[9:48] No, no, don't be Jimmy.
[9:49] These aren't, these aren't about me.
[9:52] They're just general tips
[9:53] that could apply to anyone's life, okay?
[9:55] Do you want to hear more?
[9:57] No.
[9:58] If you ever meet a short but muscular crime lord
[10:01] who dresses like a Christmas elf
[10:02] or carries a broadsword and calls himself Sleigh Bell,
[10:05] but slay is spelled S-L-A-Y as in he'll slay you,
[10:09] and he will, he's nasty.
[10:12] He runs a cockfight out of a roadhouse kitchen
[10:15] before you go, oh, ha, ha, betting on chickens.
[10:19] And Sleigh Bell says,
[10:20] I like the way you scream when you get burnt.
[10:23] Let's go cave diving, but first let's get turnt.
[10:25] And he takes you to an underwater cave to swim,
[10:28] and you surface in an air pocket,
[10:30] and it's just you and him where he says,
[10:32] give me all your cash,
[10:34] and I'll let you leave this cave,
[10:36] but otherwise this'll be your goddamn grave.
[10:39] But you pick up a skull that's laying on the ground,
[10:42] and you cock him on the head,
[10:43] and you swim back to town,
[10:45] reporting to the feds,
[10:47] and you enter the witness protection program,
[10:49] but they change your name to Dr. Will Brainerd,
[10:52] and now you give health tips to a bunch of frickin' strangers.
[10:55] If that ever happens to you,
[10:57] then you'll know why you should go
[10:59] and sing this with me, please, Jimmy.
[11:02] Trick-or-treats and has a perky jack-o-lantern.
[11:10] Trick-or-treats and has a perky jack-o-lantern.
[11:14] Sing it, everybody!
[11:15] Trick-or-treats and has a perky jack-o-lantern.
[11:19] One more time!
[11:21] Trick-or-treats and has a perky jack-o-lantern.
[11:26] Dr. Will, everybody!
[11:34] Finally, a new study found that tofu is one of the best protein sources
[11:38] in the world. Yes, tofu.
[11:42] One guy heard and was like...
[11:44] All right, we have a great show.
