Single stupidest guest of all time.
I mean, like, who sends out a picture, like, with their face like that? Like [Grunting.]
I don't think it was her face that was the problem so much as her exposed vagine.
She was, like, definitely a little into me though.
Yeah, no, I saw you give her your number, idiot.
You know, I want to help people.
She was sweet.
She was not.
She was crazy.

Maybe a little phone sex later where I'm Putin and you're the figure skater - Mm-hmm.
- And you did not get the medal.
Because my skirt was too short? So this is, like, normal conversation for them? No, no, this is pretty tame.
They haven't even gotten into character yet.

Mr.
Putin is very mad.

- She's very smart.
- Your phone is ringing.
- Oh, oh.
All right, I don't know this number.
Do not answer it.
Stop.
It's probably Psycho Sexter.
Just hit "ignore," Donny.
Hit "ignore.
" - No, what are you doing? - Hello? Hello? - Donny, you put it on speaker.
- Mr.
Deutsch? Donny can't come to the phone now or ever! - What just happened? - Okay.
- Little too much, no? - Do you not remember your last stalker? Psycho Sexter? No! - All right, all right.
I got it, I got it, - Do you understand? - I got it, I got it.
- [Phone chimes.]
Oh, great.
Now she's texting.
"Mr.
Deutsch, it's urgent I speak with you.
" Maybe she really needs my help.
- I should call her.
- (All) No! Isabel, can we get one of my favorites? Thanks so much.
You're the best.
All right, Donny.
One, you are booked Friday for "Morning Joe" to plug the political mistresses segment.
Two, Galina.
Aw, yeah.
She spent $20,000 last month at Bergdorf.
Can we please get rid of her? All right.
Stop busting my chops about Galina.
She lets me do my thing, I let her do her thing.
What we have works, okay? Want to know something else that works? A great barbecue.
And at a Donny Deutsch barbecue, there's only one barbecue sauce.
Hak's Chipotle Bourbon Barbecue Sauce.
Fine ingredients give it a sweet spicy smokiness with a bourbon smack.
Hak's.
Life is short.
Eat it up.
Donny.
- Who are you talking to? - Oh, sorry.
By the way, how great was today's show? I saw it.
I loved it.
I thought it was your best one yet.
I mean, who in this day and age would actually send a sext that could destroy your life? - I mean, how stupid? - So stupid.
Donny, what are you talking about? - You sext.
- I don't sext.
Yeah, you do.
I send them for you.
Wait.
Is that part of the job? No, I'm not a moron, okay? I will sometimes after a couple of dates with a nice lady might send a picture of myself with, like, a shirt off, but always covered, like the kind of picture you'd see on the beach.
Post-swimming, bath time.
Yes, all right, this is not a sext.
- Let me see.
- Come here, come here.
- Look at it.
I got a towel on.
- [Laughs.]
- It's not funny.
- That's a bathroom selfie.
That's totally a sext.
This is what we call an "I'm ashamed of my penis" selfie.
This is how you do it.
No face, full body.
That way you can send it to anybody.
- Do not encourage him.
- All right, what's wrong with you? If it was a sext, it would show "genitilia," it would be X-rated.
I don't do that.
That's my whole point.
What I do is a kind of well lit, artistic picture that would suggest a little future intimacy.
Okay, boom, boom.
I'm gonna coin a phrase right here.
Some people sext.
I send a suggestive pic.
- Donny, no, don't.
- Boom.
- Boom, boom.
- No booming.
- That's what I do.
I coin these things.
- Do not boom.
- No, that's not a thing.
- Like literally.
- It's gotta be catchy or cool.
- No.
SP.
- It's not either of those things.
- Please.
Please don't, no.
Watch it.
It's gonna be out there.
I'm gonna actually now I'm gonna put it in a sentence.
I'm gonna go SP Galina right now.
- Yeah.
- Do not SP Galina.
It's in the lexicon.
I just used it already.
- It's already out there.
- It's not out there if it's nowhere.
It's in the kitchen.
It should stay in the kitchen, Donny.
I'm so busy So much to do [Tap-dancing.]
Rush and hurry That's great, man.
Watch this one, Dad.
Oh so good.
I-I could never do that in, like, a million years.
It's incredible, man.
I love you, pal.
Love you too.
["Get That Feeling" by Royal Deluxe.]
Babe you're as cute as peaches Oh as sweet as cream You make me wanna stand up Throw my hands up and scream Oh I get that feeling Yeah you give it to me Oh I get that feeling [Phone rings.]
Coco, my phone's ringing! I need you to play Wrong Number! - Dad? - I think it's this Psycho Sexter.
Just answer this and say hi and say it's a wrong number.
What's with the dumbbell? - Just answer.
- Hello? [Speaking Mandarin.]
Who is it? Hello? Oh, yes, Mrs.
Ecklestein.
Ms.
Ecklestein.
That was you who texted before? Oh, she cursed out a boy in Mandarin? I'm really surprised.
You think it's necessary we absolutely.
We will see you Tues before we go, you I don't know if anybody's ever said this to you.
You have, like, a great voice.
Have you thought voice-overs? We will see you Tuesday, Mrs.
Ecklestein.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry.
- Amazing.
$40,000 a year for private school, and I always wonder, am I getting anything out of it? And you learned to curse in Mandarin.
A new skill for you.
Why did you do this? Somebody was making fun of Jagger at lunch.
Why? Why were they making fun of him? He was tap-dancing again.
All right, next time, don't just curse that kid in Mandarin, tap-dance on his head, all right? Nobody messes with our guy.
All right, I will finesse things.
I will go up and do the Donny Deutsch thing and I Don't do the Donny Deutsch thing, Dad.
You'd be amazed at the things and you'll do this as a parent someday that you do when you love your kids.
- The things you I - What? I shouldn't tell you this.
All right, you're old enough.
You'll understand 'cause you'll be a parent someday.
Do you remember in seventh grade, you were on the traveling soccer team, but you didn't make the all-star team, and then the next day, you did make the all-star team? You deserved to be on it, but I, just to ensure it was gonna happen, slept with your coach.
What? You slept with my teacher? Oh, my God! That is disgusting! Did you not see "Forrest Gump"? Did you see what Sally Field did when they were gonna throw Forrest Gump out of the regular school and she had to sleep with that big, gross, fat guy? Because she loved Forrest Gump! Dad, I don't know who these people are.
- I am Sally Field.
- Don't sleep with Ms.
Ecklestein.
- I'm not sleeping with her.
- Okay.
I will handle it, okay? And don't worry so much.
I love you.
Love you.
Each time I meet you I act like a fool That's the one.
Here you go, Ms.
Galina.
Bang.
Now you got me.
Mrs.
Ecklestein, I'm so sorry.
Coco cursing out a classmate in Mandarin is certainly horrible.
And it's disappointing, because the kids really look up to her.
No, she's great.
That's what was so crazy about this.
I'm so proud of that kid.
You know, even when something bad happens, I don't want to squelch the spirit.
- Hmm.
- I can promise you it'll never happen again.
Want to know something you do need to squelch? The inappropriate pictures.
Shirtless, towel, bulge.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, Mrs.
Ecklestein - Ms.
Ecklestein.
Ms.
Ecklestein, I-I that was an accident, - obviously.
- No, I know it wasn't meant for me.
I am so mortified.
Totally inappropriate, Mr.
Deutsch.
It was not meant for you, and - you know what? - What? Maybe it was.
It wasn't, but it was meant to happen.
- Are you single? - Mr.
Deutsch, please.
Probably you would never go out with somebody like me 'cause you go out with just, I'm sure, super smart and sophisticated.
A woman like yourself, gorgeous, Rubenesque, w beautiful, curvy.
I love curves.
S really highly educated.
This would be a new thing for me.
Please go out with me.
No.
If you went out with me, it would be like a mitzvah.
- A mitzvah? - A mitzvah.
I have to start setting an example for my kids.
These skanky women that send me pictures, so I have to send pictures back like that.
You would be my phoenix helping me rise from the skank ashes.
The rehabilitation of Donny Deutsch? I'm begging.
I'm begging.
- Uh-huh.
- De-skanking me.
You don't know me.
I'm not gonna take no for an answer.
I mean, - I'm not.
- Let let me think about it.
You, young lady, owe me big time.
Dad, you didn't sleep with her.
- Love your show, Donny.
- Thank you.
I just, uh, help people.
No, I didn't sleep with her.
We're in a school.
And don't worry.
I will always do what I have to do for you.
You have nothing to worry about.
You are my baby.
Truth is I don't care What a douchebag.
- [Multiple phones chiming.]
- - that it's just - - Around the corner out there - [Elevator bell rings.]
What are you doing here? It's "Morning Joe.
" - You're never here.
- Oh, you know.
I just missed you.
Can I talk to you for a second? Can we go talk? - What are you doing? What is going on? - Go, go, go, - Will you relax? What is going on? - go, go.
So, f face, look what I got as my Daily Laugh today.
Congratulations, Mr.
Dumbbell, you're viral.
How did you get that? Do I really have to explain the Internet to you? You sent it to someone, some teacher, Ms.
Eckle-something, and then she posted it on her Facebook wall, and then people reposted it, and now the world has seen it! Yeah, but she she likes me.
[Sighs.]
Focus! Let me see it.
Let me see it.
[Sighs.]
I look good.
What's the big deal? Okay, remember a few days ago when we did a show about no sexting? - Right.
Uh-huh.
- Remember that? Okay, well, you just sexted the universe.
This is not a sext.
This is a suggestive pic.
That is not a thing, Donny! That's not a thing! Millions of people are looking at this right now, and they're going, "Hmm.
"Donny is a hypocrite, and a pervert, and I hate him, and I'm not watching his show anymore.
" - That's not good.
- No, no, no, it's not good.
It's bad.
I don't think you should go out there.
I just I have to.
You know what? Joe and Mika are my friends.
They're not gonna - [Stammers.]
This will pass - Donny - and they won't even touch it.
- You don't have any friends, okay? - We're f ed.
- We're f ed.
Thank you.
- F me! I'm such an idiot! - Yes, f you.
No, no, no.
I'm gonna hang out in here for a bit.
