Barbara Gaines welcomes David Letterman to her talk show with a warm and friendly greeting. The two share some banter before diving into the topic of David Letterman‘s recent guests on his own show. It turns out he had none other than Paul Schaer and Walter, who did a fantastic job performing a Christmas song with Darlene Love. The song has become a popular Christmas staple and has brought well-deserved recognition to Darlene Love. Both David and Barbara attribute the success of the song to their efforts.
Moving on to a different topic, David Letterman proudly shows off a rugby jersey with the words “South Sydney” written on it. He reveals that it is the jersey of a rugby team from the southern part of Sydney, Australia, called the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Curious about the name, Barbara asks David if he knows what “Rabbitoh” means. David explains that it refers to an itinerant seller of rabbits for eating. Incredibly, David reveals that he and his friend Billy Crystal are now proud owners of the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby team.
Barbara expresses her surprise at David’s new venture, and he admits his love for rugby. David humorously adds that his mother hurt her hip because of his love for the sport, eliciting laughter from Barbara. She commends David and Billy for their ownership of the team, and David reveals that they plan to do a show about the Rabbitohs. The show will be a docu-series and will be available for streaming on Worldwide Pants Plus, their own channel.
Barbara jokes that Ryan Reynolds and Ron Maen might sue David for ripping off their idea of buying a soccer team, but David clarifies that rugby is a real sport and not soccer. He teases that he wonders if the Rabbitohs still have people going door-to-door selling rabbits in South Sydney. This prompts Barbara to suggest that David should have asked this before buying the team, hinting that it could be part of the docu-series.
David concludes by mentioning that the show will be on Worldwide Pants Plus and signs off with his signature catchphrase. Barbara humorously comments that she thinks the shows are getting “incrementally better” and predicts that the third one will be great. With this exciting development, fans can look forward to David Letterman and Billy Crystal’s docu-series on the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby team, coming soon to Worldwide Pants Plus.
