Just telling Linda, my brain hurts.
It's so tired right now that I'm like, I am pushing at the highest level I have to do the best show I can do, knowing that I'm wiped out, tired. Maybe it's a culmination of just, you know, not sleeping, working like crazy, and Linda trying to aggravate me before every show, because she thinks I do a better show every day. I'm not sure where you ever got that notion from. That is completely fake news, and, but you try anyway. Why do you do that?
Linda (0:43)
Well, one, it gives me immense joy. So there's that. So we'll lead with that, and how much fun it is for me.
You know, if I was closer to you, I'd throw something at you, but I just do it virtually by just irritating you with the words.
Sean Hannity (0:53)
Why would you throw something at somebody you've worked with for 20 years?
Linda (0:58)
That's something hard.
Sean Hannity (0:59)
I am officially your boss. You don't ever act like I'm the boss.
Linda (1:04)
I know. Well, you're not. You're the talent.
Sean Hannity (1:05)
No, it's not that I like to say it.
Linda (1:07)
There's a little sign on your door. You know, it says Sean Hannity, talent, and then it says Linda.
Sean Hannity (1:12)
No, it does not say that on my door. No, it doesn't.
Linda (1:15)
I just put it up the other day. It's nice. I put it in some nice writing.
Sean Hannity (1:18)
You put it up in an office that I never go to. What are you talking about?
Linda (1:21)
Listen, it's up. It's on a door that technically belongs to you. It is official now.
Sean Hannity (1:25)
It doesn't belong to me. The whole building is empty for crying out loud.
Linda (1:29)
It's not empty.
Sean Hannity (1:31)
It's pretty empty. Give me a break.
Linda (1:33)
It's not empty. Some people are remote.
Sean Hannity (1:35)
By the way, why did you book Chris Hann today? I mean, Chuck Schumer's disciple.
Linda (1:41)
One more thing to irritate you. You are welcome. Happy Friday.
Sean Hannity (1:46)
Why would you do that on purpose? You know he's aggravating.
Linda (1:50)
I know, but you know what he is?
He's like an endearing aggravating. Like every time I see him, you can ask Katie, you can ask Jason, you can ask Ethan. I say things like, oh, there's Chris. I love Chris every time. And you know what? On every holiday, the first person to text me, you know who it is? Every holiday before a family member, it's Chris Hann. That guy's soul to the earth.
Sean Hannity (2:09)
You know who never does text me is Chris Hann. You know why? Cause I would never give Chris Hann, I would never give Chris Hann my phone number. So therefore I don't want him to text me because that would annoy me also.
Linda (2:25)
I love him. I don't agree with him, but I love him.
Sean Hannity (2:29)
What? He's Chuck Schumer's best friend. Why? Why would you love him?
Linda (2:33)
They are not best friends. He's, you know, they're old friends. And sometimes you forgive your friends that you've had for a long time for their misgivings, which I think is what Chris often does with Chuck. But I am not friends with Chuck, so I don't need to be nice to him.
Sean Hannity (2:47)
And if I get one more person calling me and saying that I'm making fun of you when I say, talk and sauce and coffee and New York. I don't think you're making fun of me. That is exactly how you talk.
Linda (3:01)
It is. You're highlighting the best parts of me, so thank you very much.
Sean Hannity (3:05)
No, and then I have this other whole group of people that are annoyed at me because I left New York and I should have stayed to fight the fight. And meanwhile, how many times did we put Bruce Blakeman on this program and Steve Hilton on this program? Even though I didn't think the odds for either one of them was very high, but I did it because I have friends in both states and I want them to have a better life and I know that communism socialism is going to fail spectacularly. So I thought, okay, this is the last best great hope for both states. And I wanted these people to win and I hoped and I tried and I assisted as best I can and then people get mad at me. Well, you moved to Florida, you gave up. I'm like, I gave up because I saw no hope.
