out of town, get rushed through dinner at a restaurant and then on to the most popular sexual position of all, obligatory. if you're smart, you'll do what i do on valentine's. you don't have to make a big deal out of it, you don't have to spend a lot of money. just hand your wife a single rose and say "this means you get to stay." i thought you loved the bachelor! this is something i learned today. you know those little candy hearts that have the messages on them that taste like a mixture between rubber and chalk? originally, they were called wedding candies. now we call them sweethearts. they were invented by a man in the mid-1800s by a man named d d chel cha daniel chase, who invented a machine that stamped messages on the hearts, but the messages in the 1800s, were different, your blanket has pox, richmond has fallen, train's been blown up. bear ate little joe. you're my favorite prostitute and cobblepot. the cobblepot talk got people going back then. former white house press secretary sean spicer has you all hooked up. there's a personal celebrity video website. they'll make videos for people, called "cameo." for a new low price, your special lady or fella will love you in ways you never thought possible. >> hey, guys, it's sean spicer with an amazing deal. this month, for then ti entire h of february, my videos that normally cost $400 are 50% off. $199 is giving to give you the best valentine's gift ever. >> jimmy: will it, though? i don't know. he's doing it to raise money for the independence fund to raise money fior veterans, but gettin a video message from sean spicer seems like better way to say you want a divorce. what does president trump get the first lady, melania, and the second lady, lindsey graham, what does he get them? flowers? chocolate, taco bowls? he is a man of great passion. he cannot contain emotions of any kind. and in fact, he celebrates valentine's all yearlong with a major focus on hugging and kissing. >> there was hugging. there was almost kissing. i just love the guy. he was hugging me, kissing me. the heads of these companies are coming up and hugging and kissing me. she was hugging and kissing. hugging and kissing. hugging and kissing and crying. they're all hugging and kissing. everyone's crying. hugging and kissing and crying and laughing. i said wait a minute, i just said hello to the guy 15 minutes ago, and he's kissing me. >> jimmy: if that doesn't get you in the mood, i don't know what is going to. so today trump's attorney general william barr made an unexpected statement. four prosecutors for the justice department resigned after barr oevl oe overruled them and said he would lower the seven to nine years they recommended for roger stone who is convicted of lying to congress, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. this came after trump angrily tweeted that he thought stone's sentence recommendation was unfair. barr told abc news that he thought it's time for the president to stop tweeting about the department of justice criminal cases. in other words, he's like, listen, moron, how am i supposed to do your dirty work if you keep telling people about it. and some people are applauding him. i think it's a pr move. ba barr did this without trump's okay. if he said this without trump's permission, he would be covered in tweet vomit, covered in little orange fist marks all over his face. john kelly is also speaking out. last night in new jersey, john kelly defended the newly-fired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, who testified against the president and criticized the president's position on many subjects, which is all well and good, but it's now a year since he left the white house. this is like a smoke detector that goes off after your house burns down. trump lashed back at kelly on twitter and is continuing to unload on former mayor michael bloomberg. it appeared michael bloomberg has gotten under the president's trumplestiltskin. he tweeted that mini smimike iss 5'4" mass of dead energy. bloomberg replied, we know many of the same people in new york. behind your back they laugh at you and call you a carniva a caa bau barking clown. that is going to make him mad. i minean, that's -- if i was mi bloomberg, and i had $61 billion, which is what he has, this is how i would get in trump's head. i'd buy every ad on fox news from now until november. i would ruin his precious h hannity time. maybe instead of an election we should put these goal old billionaires on a jungle island with sharp sticks and force them to hunt each other. put it on pay-per-view. all proceeds go to the homeless. it's a good idea. [cheers and applause] it's settled then. i don't know if we have any baseball fans. but the houston astros had a press conference, jim crane addressed the media to answer for the sign-stealing plot that helped them beat the dodgers in the world series in 2017 and the yankees in the playoffs. >> mr. crane, what do you have to say to the yankees and teams that you beat in '17? >> listen, the yankees had a few comments out there. you know, our opinion is, you know, that this didn't impact the game. we had a good team. we won the world series, and we'll leave it at that. >> jimmy: yeah, of course you'll leave it at that. you candidate cheating. and what a half-astros apology that was. the idea that the batters on the astros, knowing, the pitchers knowing what they were going to throw before they threw the pitches didn't impact the game is ludicrous. fortunately, one reporter followed up. >> did you say this didn't impact the game? and what do you mean by that? >> i didn't say it didn't impact the game. >> jimmy: you didn't? what about two seconds ago when you did? >> isn't sign stealing a distinct advantage for the hitter? doesn't it automatically impact competition? >> it could possibly do that. it could possibly not. >> jimmy: yep, those are the two options that, that's the old, there are fine people on both sides argument. i want to say thank you to president trump where no one has to take responsibility for anything again. luckily, there as still one athletic event we can count on. that is the westminster dog show. they had the 144th dog show wrapped up tuesday in new york. we have an annual tradition here. every year we have our graphics department painstakingly remove the dogs from the westminster dog show, and here now is the 2020 installment of westminster without dogs. ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: all right.

>> yep. >> jimmy: and what happens in north africa? >> well, i played harmonica in the square. went to marrakech. and i played in the square. and i made like, with a hat, you know, played harmonica right next to the snake charmer and the bicyclist, the acrobat. and i'd make like three dierems. i went there for a week or so. we got stoned. >> jimmy: right. >> it was kind of hard to leave, actually. >> jimmy: how long did you wind up staying? >> three months. >> jimmy: three months. >> but then, when i left, actually, it was a funnier story, hitchhiking, going to go up through portugal, i'm in spain now hitchhiking. and here on the horizon comes a 1925 chevrolet pulling an air stream trailer. >> jimmy: what year is this? >> this is 1968. >> jimmy: the car is old. >> the car's old then! >> jimmy: yeah. >> and the guy stops, and it's an old dutchman. jimmy vanderol. he picks me up. he said where are you going? i said i'm trying to get to portugal. he said that's where i'm going. he liked to drink. so we stopped at every bar on the way. about 10:00 at night, we're on this levee, and there's water everywhere, and suddenly, he water.off the levee and into water's up to the floorboards like that. oh, my gosh. well, he gets out, grabs the fire extinguisher and sprays the distributor, which i didn't know, i guess, dries everything out. >> jimmy: because you never have drunkenly driven into a levee before. >> true. >> jimmy: that's the sort of thing you learn. >> so now, and he drives straight out. but, when we get to, and he drives straight out, and we're fine. we get to the border of portugal, about 11:30 at night, and i can't find my passport, because it's floated out from the air stream trailer out of my knapsack in the sideboard of the air stream. so i don't have a passport, can't go to portugal. have to go back to seville. >> jimmy: these guys leave without you. >> they leave without me. >> jimmy: great. >> i'm okay. now i hitchhike. first i spend the night that night. i found a little rock band rehearsing that night. sat in with them. showed them a couple tunes. we had a little jam. they let me sleep on the floor. next night i hitchhike tosa veal. i get to the embassy. it's hard to do hitchhiking wise. and they shut the door in my face basically. they said do you have $20? i said no. they said come back monday with $20. boom, so i go into i meet with a night watchman at a construction site. and i said, can i sleep, i don't speak any english. he doesn't speak any spanish. but we have -- >> jimmy: no, wait, you speak english. >> he didn't speak any english. >> jimmy: right. >> we had this great conversation. we kind of understood each other. and he taught me how to say -- and how to get work and all this stuff and taught me how to say that. so the next day i'm busking again. and these kids come by, these college kids, and oh, my gosh. they're taken with me, and they talked to me. they can speak english, and we talked. and they want to know all about san francisco. because it's 1968. san francisco's exploded and i know all about it of course. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. >> and i said i got to get a passport. they said what are we going to do? we'll throw you a concert. so i said great. we auditioned for a guitar player. we found this kid from australia named michael, who lived in the outback, but he had one record, and it was kind of a blues record, and i knew a bunch of those songs. so we wood shoulded fshedded fo days. and they put up these posters, they were super artist particular. huey, los blues. so now we have this concert on the college campus, and it's sold out. >> jimmy: how many people? >> 1200 people. sold out. and the first band, we have an opening act, they're called nuevos tempos. choreographed, wardrobe, unbelievably great, and i'm thinking, oh, my god, are going to die here. so our little stage went out in the front. there's a little pod that you'd go out. and we had two chairs and two microphones. he's got acoustic guitar and i've got harmonica. and we go out, they announce us. we go out, there's applause, nice applause. kind of polite applause. and then, pin-drop quiet. we start the first song. bump, bump, da, da, da. i'm playing along. and you can hear a pin drop. it is so quiet. and i'm thinking to myself as i'm playin' the song, oh, my god, we are bombing. we are so bombing. and i finish the song, and the place erupts in tumultuous applause. and i thought -- [ applause ] i'm going to do this. >> jimmy: this is a clip we found. >> huey lewis. >> oh, no. ♪ ♪ [ laughter ] >> oh, my god.
