>> Jimmy: HOW'S IT GOIN'?
>> IT'S VERY GOOD TODAY.
I WAS EXCITED TO BE HERE SINCE I
FOUND OUT I WAS GOING TO BE 
HERE.
>> Jimmy: I'M EXCITED TO HAVE 
YOU HERE.
I HAD NO IDEA YOU AND JENNIFER 
ANISTON WERE SUCH CLOSE FRIENDS.
SHE WAS JUST TELLING ME IN THE 
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
YOU WENT ON VACATION TOGETHER.
>> SHE DIDN'T SAY IT LIVE?
>> Jimmy: IN FACT SHE DENIED 
KNOWING YOU LIVE.
YEAH.
>> MY FAMILY, SOMETIMES WE GO, 
WE'VE GONE AWAY, FOR INSTANCE, 
WHEN WE'VE SUMMERED ON THE 
ISLANDS.
AND, AND, AND, AND JENNIFER, UH,
UH, HAS BEEN THERE.
WITH US.
>> Jimmy: DO PEOPLE LOSE THEIR 
MINDS WHEN YOU'RE THERE WITH 
JENNIFER ANISTON?
>> IT'S MORE LIKE I'M BAG OF 
POTATOES, AND WHAT'S JENNIFER 
ANISTON DOING STANDING NEXT THAT
BAG OF POTATOES.
SHE IS, EVERYBODY EVERYONE 
KNOWS, RIGHT?
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
SURE.
>> EVERY PERSON ALIVE.
PEOPLE ARE BORN ALREADY KNOWING 
JENNIFER ANISTON.
SO, BUT WE, WE WERE STAYING AT A
HOUSE, THERE WAS A HOUSE, WE 
WERE IN A HOUSE, IN, IN, 
SUMMERING IN THE ISLANDS.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> AND THE WOMAN WHO TOOK CARE 
OF THE HOUSE WAS, SHE WAS, SHE 
WAS, SHE WASN'T, SHE WASN'T, SHE
WASN'T ALWAYS SMILING.
ALMOST, IN A SENSE, SHE WAS 
NEVER SMILING.
SO SHE WAS IN THE KITCHEN, AND 
SHE WAS PREPARING, HELLO.
SHE WAS PREPARING SOME FOOD.
AND SHE WAS LOOKING PARTICULARLY
STERN THIS DAY.
PROBABLY
PROBABLY FOR GOOD REASON.
ANYWAY, SHE WAS A LITTLE STERN 
AND I WAS TRYING DEFINITELY TO 
MAKE HER SMILE, BECAUSE I NEED 
TO BE LIKED.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> AND I, AND THEN SHE LOOKED 
OUT, BECAUSE JENNIFER WAS 
OUTSIDE.
PEOPLE, SHE, SOME FRIENDS OF 
OURS, OTHERS.
AND, AND, SHE SAID, SHE STOPPED 
AND SHE SAID, IS THAT THE 
WORLDWIDE FAMOUS JENNIFER 
ANISTON?
AND I SAID OH, WHY, YES, IT IS.
>> Jimmy: DID THAT PUT A SMILE 
ON HER FACE?
>> IT PUT A SMILE ON HER FACE.
>> Jimmy: THERE YOU GO, THAT'S 
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
BY THE WAY, CONGRATULATIONS ON 
THE ROCK 'N ROLL HALL OF FAME 
NOMINATION.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
IS THAT EXCITING TO YOU?
WERE YOU AWARE THEY WERE COMING 
OUT THAT DAY?
>> I DIDN'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
>> IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M, I'M 
EXCITED, IT'S A GOOD FEEL, IT'S 
GOOD, I'M NOT LIKE WAITING FOR 
IT, BUT IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD.
>> Jimmy: OF COURSE.
>> AND IN GOOD COMPANY.
YOU KNOW YOUR BUDDY, YOUR BUDDY 
TEXTED ME AND TOLD ME.
>> Jimmy: WHICH BUDDY?
>> JAKE TAPPER.
>> Jimmy: JAKE TAPPER.
>> YEAH, HE TEXTED ME.
>> Jimmy: HE'S THE ONE WHO TOLD 
YOU IT HAPPENED?
>> YEAH.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL
THE NEWSMAN GAVE ME THE NEWS.
>> Jimmy: THIS GAME THAT YOU 
GUYS HAVE INVENTED.
IS IT FAIR TO SAY INVENTED?
>> MY FRIEND BRIAN.
IT'S NOT WEIRD.
THIS IS HOW WE MET.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WENT AND SAID 
I'M GOING TO FIND A GUY WHO 
MAKES GAMES.
HE BUILDS GUITARS.
HE GUIBUILT A GUITAR TO GIVE TO 
JAKE TAPPER.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S CORRECT.
DID HE COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR
CHICK-A-BIG?
>> HE SAID MATTHEW, NOT QUITE AS
ELOQUENTLY, I WAS PLAYING A GAME
WITH SOME FRIENDS OF MINE, AND 
IT WAS THE STUPIDEST GAME I'VE 
EVER PLAID AND IT SAID LIKE A 
HUNDRED MILLION COPIES SOLD.
AND HE CAME UP WITH HIS OWN GAME
AND BROUGHT IT OVER AND WE 
PLAYED IT, IT WAS A REALLY GOOD 
GAME.
I WAS LIKE, WHAT?
YOU JUST MADE THAT GAME UP AS A 
REVENGE?
>> Jimmy: WHO WINS WHEN YOU GUYS
PLAY?
>> I DON'T CARE WHO WINS BUT 
WHEN I WIN IT CRUSHES HIM.
>> Jimmy: IT'S LIKE BEING BEATEN
UP BY YOUR SON.
AND THE GAME IS VERY 
INTERESTING.
THERE'S OH, MY GOD, IT'S THE 
FERRET.
WHAT'S?
>> WHAT IS THAT?
>> Jimmy: I FELT THE FERRET 
DIDN'T GET THE REACTION I WANTED
EARLIER.
SO YOU JUST KEEP FIRING AWAY.
NOW THIS IS THE NEW GAME.
AND IN THIS ONE, DID YOU INVENT 
THIS GAME?
IT'S STILL HIM.
WE PLAYED IT ON SOME PAPER 
SCRAPS, AND IT WAS ANOTHER GOOD 
GAME.
I WAS LIKE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH 
YOU.
>> Jimmy: IS HE CONSTANTLY 
WORKING ON GAMES NOW. 
>> NO, NOW HE'S TRYING TO SELL 
IT.
SO I CAME TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT 
IT TO TRY TO SELL IT.
IT'S LIKE A CHARITY THING.
>> Jimmy: FOR BRIAN, BUT YOU 
DESIGNED ALL THE ARTWORK, YOU 
DESIGNED THE WHOLE DEAL.
THIS IS GOOD.
LOOK AT THAT.
OH, HE'S FUN.
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STYLE, HERE.
ARE THESE NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
>> THESE ARE NAMED AFTER MY 
DAUGHTER.
THAT'S LUMPY JOE.
LUMPY JOE MUST BE A FRIEND OF 
BRIAN'S.
>> Jimmy: THERE'S SLOW SALLY.
THAT'S COOL-HAND LUCAS.
>> LUCAS NELSON.
WASN'T HE JUST HERE?
>> Jimmy: HE WAS JUST HERE LAST 
WEEK.
>> DID YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE?
>> Jimmy: SOMETIMES THINGS JUST 
WORK OUT.
THERE'S BUFFALO JOHNNY AND OLD 
SAM.
IS OLD SAM BASED ON ANYONE IN 
PARTICULAR?
>> I'M NOT GOING TO, BECAUSE I'M
SURE OLD SAM DOESN'T WANT TO BE 
REFERRED TO AS OLD SAM.
>> Jimmy: HE PROBABLY THINKS OF 
HIMSELF AS MIDDLE-AGED SAM.
HOW DO YOU DO THE DRAWINGS?
ON PAPER?
A DIGITAL THING?
THEY LOOK LIKE WOOD CARVINGS 
ALMOST.
LIKE A PRINT, YOU KNOW?
>> THAT'S MORE MY STYLE.
THAT'S HOW I MAKE STUFF.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU OBSESS OVER 
THIS?
>> I DID, THOSE ARE PLAYING 
CARDS.
IT COMES WITH A DECK OF CARDS.
>> Jimmy: WHY IS IT AGE 17-PLUS?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
IS GAMBLING IMMORAL?
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> I THINK THERE'S -- 
>> Jimmy: IT'S LIKE A LITTLE LAS
VEGAS.
>> AND THERE'S, AND THERE'S 
POISON IN IT.
>> Jimmy: OH, THERE IS.
>> SO THAT, I THINK IS BOOZE.
AND THEY DON'T WANT THE KIDS 
WITH THE BOOZE AND THERE'S ALSO 
GUNFIGHTS.
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T GET ANY OF 
THAT IN CANDY LAND.
>> ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT'S 
NOT THE BEST GAME.
>> Jimmy: EVEN 2-YEAR-OLDS ARE 
LIKE, OH, MY GOD, THIS IS 
BORING.
BRING MY SOME HUNGRY HIPPOS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
WHO KNEW YOU WERE UP TO THIS, 
TOO?
DAVE MATTHEW
