[ laughter ] [ applause ] that's not -- >> steve: it's not money. >> jimmy: doesn't count. >> steve: it's not money. >> jimmy: technically -- in the same recording paul ryan can be heard telling his colleagues not to leak any information. [ laughter ] and everyone agreed. except for the person who was making that recording. but everyone else. [ applause ] person kept recording the conversation, actually, ryan's exact quote was "what's said in the family stays in the family." [ light laughter ] sounds less like a congressman from wisconsin, more like a

a congressman from new jersey. it's like, "hey. [ cheers ] keep it in the family, capisce? [ laughter ] that's for you." [ laughter ] meanwhile, trump started tweeting again. today he criticized the russia investigation, saying, "this is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in american history."

[ cheers and applause ] keep trying. >> steve: he tries so hard. >> jimmy: tomorrow trump will leave for saudi arabia, even though he publicly bashed the country while he was campaigning. the only way staffers got him to go was by telling him he gets to meet aladdin and princess jasmine.

"baywatch" is the most successful television show ever. >> jimmy: yes. that's true. >> ever. i know, it's crazy and we love "baywatch." but it also -- we knew five years ago, oh, it's got some challenges. right? it comes with a little bit of baggage because it's an '80s tv show. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so the idea is how can we make it cool? how do we make it hip? how can we make the action awesome? and how can we make -- how can we create rated r jokes that will stand the test of time? >> jimmy: yeah. >> and we did. >> jimmy: yeah, you did. [ cheers ] and also, you got you and zac efron to take your shirts off, too, yeah, so that helps.
