[SPEAKER_09]: So you notice that time I refrain from trying to do the the drum roll there because I'm just so bad at it So yes, yes, okay, can I just say something about line just quickly?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, so I was I was stage managing a show with Paul Servino directing
[SPEAKER_07]: And we were walking down the street Paul Servina of the actor and he directed this play and he's he's he's he's gone now So he's now dead Paul Servina, but he we're walking down the street and he was saying to me You know how actors re-descript and I said no.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know what you mean and he goes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, so he makes believe his thumbing through a script and he goes Bulls bulls bulls bulls My line bulls up my line My line and I said what about you?
[SPEAKER_07]: He goes that's exactly how I read a script
[SPEAKER_09]: that's great you're just reminded me of that it's all just look at the people you know not for you Tony but for me that's going to play a lot oh yes it is yeah nice job Rob's beware nice job I see definitely that is really well
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you for joining us once again.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't forget tell your friends tell your neighbors We're trying to get to that magic number of 75,000 listeners and I estimate that at this rate It will take 17 years but we'll get there
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll still be doing the show, so it's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, right, right, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not about how long it takes, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, it may be a little slower when we're doing the show.
[SPEAKER_09]: But, uh, all right, so Gary, now, yeah, you've got the green screen up.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I know you're going to, uh, uh, you know, bring us something wonderful.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will say once again, uh, you look good, uh, the green screen, uh, looks good.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't, I don't look good, tell me.
[SPEAKER_09]: You do look good.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I do this is important to you.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's why, and I'm not making it up.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, you're very nice about it, but like I'm not looking at the green screen I'm looking at this like I could I could make believe that this is about lighting It's not about lighting.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not it's like it's like it's starting look It's starting to go.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not happy about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's not but you know, but I came into the studio with this today I'm sorry
[SPEAKER_07]: Wait, I just want, I want you to tell me if there's people get up off the floor right because if you're listening that was so I'm sorry for all of our trapping to remember I don't know enough about the technology of radio as Robin and Tony so if I make a faux pas it's that I just don't have the experience.
[SPEAKER_09]: So for our listeners, let me just tell them he was just taking a strip of strapping tape as I was called wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, packing tape and you've wrapped it around your neck.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, now that actually looks better.
[SPEAKER_09]: It does, but I can't breathe.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you gotta do what you gotta do to do the show.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're suggesting sacrifice, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: And he will be a sacrifice.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, all right.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, wait, I'm warning everybody that I'm taking it off.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if we will have... No, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: So this could be, I mean, you could be injured here when you do this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, so no.
[SPEAKER_09]: So let's see if any skin comes off when you do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: If I get injured, am I able to sue Rob since he's our producer?
[SPEAKER_05]: I could punch with that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a workman's comp rub.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what 15% of nothing is?
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, there's always the first.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I'm going to make some noise.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not gas or anything, okay?
[SPEAKER_07]: See what happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is it bad that I'm secretly hoping a little skin comes off?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, it's really, it's really bad.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just hoping for a clean flow shave.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, did that hurt?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, are you just a poignant?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I think you can do it again.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that is funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you know what, that, I wonder if people have, have done that because they have taping does really, the taping does has have taped up their eyes and then had make up cover.
[SPEAKER_07]: But now they just have surgery.
[SPEAKER_09]: they have surgery and I remember that used to use gauze sometimes for like on the camera like that soft lens or vaseline on the camera or something like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the civil shepherd effect for moonlighting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, but also a few years ago, obviously before he passed P. We Herman Paul Rubens today.
[SPEAKER_05]: Christmas special, I think, for Netflix.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's still up there.
[SPEAKER_05]: But there were some paparazzi shots of when they were shooting, and I don't know if they edited this out digitally, but he had taped his face back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, because he had gotten older, and I think Pee was a little heavy, and he was trying to recreate the look.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, Gary, you're in fine company.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, Pee Lee Herman was now, he wasn't Pee Lee anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was fatty Herman.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you hear me, that's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's now starring Fanny Hermit as P. We Hermit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's pretty sad to be photographed that way, because, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you know, and here's my thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Why does this happen?
[SPEAKER_09]: I know why it happens with the neck, because of gravity and everything, but I wish that didn't happen, because, and you do see people with the facelifts and everything, but there's not much you can do about this, although I do think they are starting to do necklifts too.
[SPEAKER_07]: But that is a telltale sign of aging and I just I wish it did is well, you know you say it's happening to you It's I don't see it at all.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see it on me and it's look I'm not good with any natural progression of anything that happens to you as you get older Right, that I'm not in favor of so just just do the show like that and so that part that the the the the the The water was that what they call it
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, that's not happening to me, but the filling out here, uh, along my, uh, you know, under my chin that is half.
[SPEAKER_09]: Why are we pointing out our in our in accuracy, sorry?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that age or is that dessert?
[SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, well, yeah, that's a good cook.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and you know, because I have the same battle myself.
[SPEAKER_05]: I only ask because I can relate.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's dessert.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I need to start eating more desserts.
[SPEAKER_07]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it'll throw it out.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got to eat too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hopefully.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if I gain like 30 pounds or so, I'm probably going to look a lot better.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we'll call you Fatty Stein.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is that for me on the green screen?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I just thought I want you to pick.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, but the first one is really more about just some fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: This couple that are just for fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then there's one that I think that you may want to do the whole show with.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, I don't know if you remember, but
[SPEAKER_07]: When we were doing good morning America we had Tom the bicycle comic on the show who wrote his by cross-country several times and every time he did he took pictures of signs.
[SPEAKER_07]: Robesign.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not remember this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why do you not remember?
[SPEAKER_07]: See you know what worse than my neck is if I if I lose my memory.
[SPEAKER_07]: Roach are going to do a little bit of this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, we are.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Dead cows on sale here.
[SPEAKER_06]: He had he put together a whole journey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I do remember this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did he do a book?
[SPEAKER_07]: He did.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, that's some signs that he saw across America.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some of them just weird bizarre like what is this talking about?
[SPEAKER_06]: I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_09]: Dead cows on sale here.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what's you know what's better?
[SPEAKER_06]: What?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, he's just always open it and it says closed.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I love that you're explaining it to our listening audience because you are a professional.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just learning.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm learning.
[SPEAKER_09]: That reminds me of a joke.
[SPEAKER_09]: Who did this joke?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, Stephen Wright.
[SPEAKER_09]: Remember Stephen Wright?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: testicle festival.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: September 16th through the 20th, 1999.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now that I had a ball is what it's what it's so this is about bulls and I guess what do they call that when they eat
[SPEAKER_09]: Rocky Mountain Oyster, Rocky Mountain Oyster, they're disgusting.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're not great.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not sure if I really have one.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, why?
[SPEAKER_09]: Who would think of eating?
[SPEAKER_09]: Who would look at a bowl and go, you know what, I bet it's good?
[SPEAKER_09]: Those testicles.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh boy, Stephen Wright used to do a joke.
[SPEAKER_09]: If I recall correctly, it was
[SPEAKER_09]: he went up to a store that had a sign said open 24 hours, but when he got there, the owner was closing it up.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Stephen Wright said, I thought you're open 24 hours, and the owner said, not in a row.
[SPEAKER_09]: He did you love him?
[SPEAKER_09]: Did you love Stephen Wright?
[SPEAKER_09]: He loves Stephen Wright.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's still alive, but yes, I love Stephen Wright.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you do.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know what, so as a former comedian, here's my thing about Stephen Wright.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I admire him.
[SPEAKER_09]: We used to have Jackie Markling on the show, Jackie, the joke man, Mark.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We still could.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's still good.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought this about him too.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, so as a comedian, I would write my act.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I would have it, you know, like on a legal pad.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's kind of, it's like a rundown, like what we do.
[SPEAKER_09]: And as you're doing your act, you're going down it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you might switch some stuff out mentally, and you know, all that kind of stuff, but there's an act there.
[SPEAKER_09]: they're just doing jokes and I will always thought how do you how do you know what you've done and what you haven't done and if you get distracted by something in the audience or something how do you remember where to pick up because it's just there're no transitions just jokes right right I never understood it I also don't understand because you know I don't tell a joke you don't really tell jokes not much but how do you remember
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, Jackie remembers every joke he ever heard right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can just go on and on and on.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't get that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: You made me laugh, Tony, because I'd thought of this in a long time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stephen Wright actually had a, I saw him at the Barnes of Wolftrap before you.
[SPEAKER_05]: But he had like halfway through his set.
[SPEAKER_05]: He started to tell the same joke again and then he stopped and said,
[SPEAKER_05]: just making sure you're listening.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
[SPEAKER_07]: I have one that I think might be your very favorite, and if it is, you're obligated to tell us about it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So this is Gary's putting up a new background on his green screen that he believes is going to be my very favorite.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's he's leaned over so I can see it, but nothing's coming up.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, look at this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my goodness.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Gary is put up on the screen a picture of myself and Al Roker when we were I was the weatherman at Good Morning America.
[SPEAKER_09]: Al was the weatherman at the today's show still is obviously.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're at the south lawn of the White House in front of a bunch of kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: Gary, this is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is great.
[SPEAKER_07]: 12 Tony.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look at it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Al is heavy at the time.
[SPEAKER_09]: I look very like a child with a beard.
[SPEAKER_09]: So this was great.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is one of my favorite things that we ever did when we went together at Good Morning America.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me tell you this, I always remembered this as being at the White House Easter Egg roll because why else would we have been there together?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what it was.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it was not.
[SPEAKER_09]: I found out that I was incorrect and I'll tell you why I found this out.
[SPEAKER_09]: Two years ago, when I joined NBC 4,
[SPEAKER_09]: in Washington where I'm the morning anchor, one of the morning anchors, thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is a special report.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't worry a lot about it.
[SPEAKER_09]: We went up to the today's show and sat down with Savannah and Hoda and Al and did some promos.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know how sometimes you see the local stations with the national people and you know, so we did all that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Al and I, you know, we're very friendly and so we did our own
[SPEAKER_09]: But we referenced this and so the today show said where do you know where that is and I said because we would love to have a clip of that and so I said it was from one of the White House Easter Egg rolls so they research they came back and said we can't find it are you sure so I said well let me look.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I went online, I googled because you can google everything now.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I googled because I remembered, this was so unusual because we cymocast.
[SPEAKER_09]: I, Allen, you're a direction, Gary.
[SPEAKER_09]: Allen, I were both doing our weathercast.
[SPEAKER_09]: We timed it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Alson, in one area, I'm in another area.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're both on, he's on NBC, I'm on ABC at the same time.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we timed it out that we were walking towards each other.
[SPEAKER_09]: just in time for us to come out of the weather cast or separate maps and bump into each other live on the air on good morning America and the today show.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was the first time those shows at Simon cast anything and we were I was on his air and he was on our air and we just did a little bit in a couple of lines and it was great and because it was so unique,
[SPEAKER_09]: And this was at the height of the morning show wars.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it was when good morning America was breathing down the neck of the today show and coming within a whisper of overtaking them at number one.
[SPEAKER_09]: This made news and it was on entertainment tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it was on access.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was everything and it was on television at night.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was an access Hollywood entertainment tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I remembered that part of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I searched, you know, Al Roker, Tony Perkins, Simon Cast.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it came right up, and it was I think in June of whatever year it was, and it was not.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was, it was a, the president, it was President Bush.
[SPEAKER_09]: They had begun a reading initiative for Bush.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was hers.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was Laura Bush.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hence all the children there, and Laura Bush came out and read to the kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: and all of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's why we were there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the, but it was the White House.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was the White House.
[SPEAKER_07]: At least that's the most important thing to me is that it didn't turn out to be, you know, in the backyard of, or Brian Park in New York.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it was in the White House long.
[SPEAKER_09]: So in the photo, you've got up on the green screen.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can see the White House in the background.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there are, you know, mask gots and stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: So in our mind, because the only time we usually would have been at the White House was the Easter egg.
[SPEAKER_07]: We did that every year every year.
[SPEAKER_07]: I brought my little kids.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I don't think Connor was born yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: But when you wasn't born, would you like to see just a little bit more of this?
[SPEAKER_07]: Just a little bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me see.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, I'm talking to Perkins.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's all I know.
[SPEAKER_06]: You've never told me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Get to see me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Talk about Chris like we fit.
[SPEAKER_06]: You look absolutely fantastic.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to be able to wear your pants.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, they're well.
[SPEAKER_06]: We can do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I referenced physically fit there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe it was a fitness awareness thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, but it brought us together.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it was about her book thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's my name.
[SPEAKER_07]: But he was not yet on his diet and he was impressed by your physique.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That was, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was so much fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: Was it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Fantastic.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was fun.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it was, um,
[SPEAKER_09]: And it made it made big news so that was very thrilling for me because you know as part of that team with Charlie and Diane and I don't remember if Robin was with us at that point because she joined a little bit later But you know, they were always being featured on Diane Slayer and her interview with so-and-so, you know, yeah for me to get some attention like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was really really cool And let me say this because we like this about you Gary Stein as a producer and just
[SPEAKER_09]: going after it, so this is amazing that this happened and you and you coordinate it with whoever the today show on site producer was on a thin walled was the executive producer but it was the the producer in the field that agreed that it would be a good idea.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, there was much more at stake for us than there was for the today show.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, there's much more at stake for the today show.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that's what I meant.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's much more for us to gain.
[SPEAKER_09]: a fraction of the people knew me, everyone knows our broker, a fraction of people knew who I was.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you're downplaying yourself.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you were going to love me some time to ABC Good Morning America.
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't say shine.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you know, keep this was going well.
[SPEAKER_09]: What I mean is, but you and the other guy, you, you called the respective control rooms and you, you essentially convinced them of how unique and funny this would be and they said, yes, look, that's amazing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I had, I had the idea for this and thought that nobody would go for it.
[SPEAKER_07]: You loved it, I loved it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I called our control room.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, our executive producer, Shelley Ross, was in the control room every show and very busy and not necessarily looking to hear from her weather team.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I called the control room and I said, I need to talk to Shelley.
[SPEAKER_07]: And somebody said, hold on, Shelley, Gary snies on the phone.
[SPEAKER_07]: He wants to talk to you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why?
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, and
[SPEAKER_07]: She takes the phone, she goes, hello, and I told her, I think that we can do a weather simulcast with Al-Roker if you can convince NBC and she, you know, Shelley was sharp as Al.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, oh my god, okay, let's she pulled this off.
[SPEAKER_07]: She and the executive Jonathan Wald, they did pull it off.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know, I do think that NBC got something great out of it because even though we were in a ratings war, everybody was talking about it the next day.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is true.
[SPEAKER_07]: So how could it be bad for anyone?
[SPEAKER_07]: Just because we were fighting for first place.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, right, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you're absolutely right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: For our broker and we've remained friends all these years.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, for our roper, that is certainly a, a, a magnanimous thing to do, um, to, you know, hey, Tony Perkins and Alan, I'll new me because he used to be in Washington as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, if we both started at the same TV station, our course have been very parallel except he's rich and I'm,
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm looking for a loan consolidation or a different consolidation.
[SPEAKER_09]: But talk to Rob about that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Gary, can I ask you a question about the production of that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Because that's a brilliant idea, obviously, and it happened of the moment.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who do you call first?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you speak to Roker first to know that he's into it?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: The first week to your people first.
[SPEAKER_07]: How do you make it go first?
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to make sure that the people that would be involved in this want to do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I knew Tony would want to do it, but I didn't know that Roker would want to do it because he's representing the today show and they don't really need this.
[SPEAKER_07]: But for Al, it was going to be a really good thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Al said, I love it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's the first thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: The second thing is how do we pull it off because it has to hit on both cameras at both networks at the same second right.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is very difficult.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I had to ask my executive producer who had to ask the production team and all of it had to happen with what we did is we picked which weather hit.
[SPEAKER_07]: We would all go to and we all had to agree that our weather hits would hit at the same time.
[SPEAKER_09]: And what we did, if you remember, so in the morning show weather hits, Owl still does this, you know, you do the national weather and then you say, here's what's happening in your neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_09]: And those, those are 30 second hits a set time.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we both threw to the local at the same time so that we would come out at the same time and be walking up next to each other.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I want to say something Gary, um, because you said, yeah, first you got to make sure Tony and I want to do it, um, I do remember this and there are plenty of things I don't remember, but I this was one of those things that you asked me and I clearly remember this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought it was a great idea and I think I probably said, uh,
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, we'll call Shelley and good luck.
[SPEAKER_09]: I figured this is not, there's no way this is gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Shelley, to her credit, who you as you know, super smart, super successful, and you know, and you do a great impression of her.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, Gary and I,
[SPEAKER_09]: We were our own little team on Good Morning America and, you know, and she pretty much trusted us to do what we were going to do, she kind of, you know, she didn't really think she needed to interact with us all that much.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yes, Gary, what call it?
[SPEAKER_09]: What?
[SPEAKER_09]: What does he want?
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, and sometimes we wouldn't get what we want it, but sometimes we would and you know, for her to think immediately, oh, good idea.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's her.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's her.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: She would recognize, you know, she came from other places.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, didn't she work at the inquiries?
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's no inquiries.
[SPEAKER_07]: She, you know, so what did that teacher?
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, probably how to finesse massage and attack headlines.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And this was a headline, like no other headline that had never been done.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she liked that.
[SPEAKER_07]: She'd love challenges.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she was a risk taker.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I just thought if I get through to her, I think I'm going to get a good response getting through to her was not something I was sure of.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, God bless you, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's one of my favorite moments ever on TV.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm sure yours too, because it really accomplished something.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is like, so yeah, leave that green screen.
[SPEAKER_07]: I thought you'd like this background.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, that's the week.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the week.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I know I do this every week, folks.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I guess I should stop doing it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Once again, we do have a run day.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is where we are.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, when I didn't know that's what you're gonna pull out, so let's, you know, I think we just know we should know better at this point that the rundown is fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a nice nice to have bullet points.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's nice to have a road map.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: If we if we were required to get to a destination with our road maps.
[SPEAKER_07]: It would never happen right where are they there's supposed to be here on Tuesday She read there was a party I just think we shouldn't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right and you're right and you're right I just it's it's always amusing to me because let me tell you something just to pull back the camera a little bit Um, and those of you who are with us since the last podcast in the 2010s
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, this is not something that we do that is just a fly by night thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll see you tomorrow and we'll, you know, we'll just talk for an hour.
[SPEAKER_09]: We put, we put work into it, thought into it.
[SPEAKER_09]: As you see, we have segments and, you know, sometimes guests and all that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: But so it's always amusing to me that we put all the work into it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, you know, Gary and I talk in the days before and we go over a rundown.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's do this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, it's a real thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then we get to the show and it's just like, okay, why did we do all of that?
[SPEAKER_09]: But it's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: All hell breaks loose.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's what we're looking for.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, absolutely right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so we're a little bit later than usual with this.
[SPEAKER_09]: But we have now decided that we're doing this thing since we last saw you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's so Rob's B-Wack.
[SPEAKER_06]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_06]: You pulled that right out of your... That's right.
[SPEAKER_07]: File, file.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is not over you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I love that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I literally dreamed it.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's how it came to me.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's really... Oh, yeah, I'm horrible when I'm awake.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I dream great ideas.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, then why don't you go to sleep now?
[SPEAKER_05]: Keep talking.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll see.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: He got you Gary's stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he did.
[SPEAKER_06]: I got a list of other producers here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yeah, let's use that every week.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Since we last saw you, I'm going to start out with something.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is not meant to be a downer.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just very interesting to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Although I don't know what made me think of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: The topic is death.
[SPEAKER_09]: during the last week, Gary Stein and maybe Rob if you want to participate as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: How many cremations have there been in the US since we last saw you a week?
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow, cremations.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, Rob, feel free, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: Rob, do you want to do the guess?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, let's call this segment a hot topics.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I would say, I would say, I would say, Rob's gonna fill in on you.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would say 1.2 million.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because aren't we as a country we have a population of about 300 million right that's right that's right that's right So rough math.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean if you take one day of that so I know I'll give you a flat one million Not one to one million.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, and the explanation really wasn't necessary You're Tony Tony you No, sir reminds me that for you This is the whole different version of Ashie
[SPEAKER_09]: One of the fears of black people being actually, yes, you know what, that'll be a future since we last saw you.
[SPEAKER_09]: How much lotion have black folks bought during the last week?
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I used to ask Gary, I used when we were working together before I wasn't going to go out of the air like we'd be out in the field And they'll work they're coming to us in a minute and I would say oh, I'm actually Gary.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you have any lotion he never had lotion?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, I would say for what for what right right when you need lotion and you would say for when you get ashy right Ashy, I don't get ashy
[SPEAKER_07]: a few days later i will i i he wasn't in his office i went out and i bought some moisturizer and i i gift wrapped it is for real and i put a bowl on the top and i lift it on his desk that's right and this was like one of the many little things that we did during keep ourselves occupied she's where are we okay i would say uh
[SPEAKER_07]: 200 million.
[SPEAKER_09]: Come on, be serious.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to give you a clue.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rob guest a million.
[SPEAKER_09]: Think of prices right rules and you'll win.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Bob Barker was cremated?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: You don't want to go over.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So 700,000.
[SPEAKER_09]: good guess, but but both guesses are way over.
[SPEAKER_07]: You love that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You love it wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, because with Rob's guess, if it's a million a week, we'd be depleted, you know, in a few years.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but also I didn't consider people that are still just burying themselves.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was thinking of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, see, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: OK, and they don't bury themselves.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's where you went wrong.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that could be all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a great money saving tip though.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very yourself.
[SPEAKER_09]: If that would be great, an invention.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you think you're sickened up that you're about to die, go in the backyard, get some device.
[SPEAKER_09]: The very yourself kid.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that would be dope.
[SPEAKER_07]: Bye, Hasbro.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is a very silly show.
[SPEAKER_09]: This reminds me of last week where we replayed Fleshy Intergeats.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you for the game show music, Rob.
[SPEAKER_09]: In the last week, 38,462 cremations I've occurred in the U.S. 30 times.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would have thought more.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would have thought more.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I will tell you, let me give you, here's another fact.
[SPEAKER_09]: How many that cremations are now more popular than burials?
[SPEAKER_09]: Give me a rough percentage out of 100% what percentage of people are being cremated now?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, it's more than burials.
[SPEAKER_07]: 70 percent.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, very close.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rob.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll take the under 69 percent.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, oh, uh, 63 percent.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, we're both over.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you spent too much time in Vegas, Rob.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see what you did there.
[SPEAKER_05]: You could say that or you could say card sharks.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was the same premise of the card sharks.
[SPEAKER_09]: Isn't that interesting?
[SPEAKER_09]: And there's a new category.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's not nearly, well, it's nowhere near this.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like 2% but increasing interest in green funerals.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you know what that is, Gary?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Once people have been diagnosed with a certain fungus.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're buried as quickly as possible because they start to look like toads or the creature from the black lagoon and it's really ugly so they get them in the ground as fast as possible.
[SPEAKER_09]: This one's going to be a green funeral, no people are now interested in either like just being put in, well sometimes it's a regular pine box which will I guess break down easily.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, sometimes you're just they're just wrapped in like burlap or something.
[SPEAKER_09]: and thrown in, not thrown in, but put the groin.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're so delicate.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wouldn't you go to that funeral?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's going to be a green funeral.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're going to have to be a burlap throw in the grave.
[SPEAKER_09]: You would go see it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know you're going to go home really quickly.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to go grab the yards.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have to the funeral.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm kind of interested in that, uh, decaying naturally, no in bombing, uh, uh, and it happens pretty fast.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you start that now?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because I don't like either of the other options.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't like being buried in a coffin, um, because I'm claustrophobic.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know it doesn't make sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: You'll be dead.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I don't, I don't really relish a thought of being,
[SPEAKER_09]: you know, burned up in 30 minutes.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I don't either.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've always said that I would like Sarah to just leave me on the sofa and put you if you want, you can put a newspaper over my face.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you don't want to see the eyes roll up in my head or stare at you, they could be staring at you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's true.
[SPEAKER_07]: But she said it might start to smell after a while.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I don't think I will.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's what you will and here's a crazy thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It just tastes a couple of days
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, and Rick and Mortis sets in in about 10 minutes, I think, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it does start early.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you entertain a question if you do end up.
[SPEAKER_05]: You didn't wait for an answer.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't wait for an answer.
[SPEAKER_05]: You said because you would entertain a question right into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And actually this goes for you, too, Gary.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you were to be cremated, if that's how the things have it, where would you want your ashes scattered or would you want to stay in a vase?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's, um, can I answer?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you go first.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want my ashes to be scattered in Tony's house.
[SPEAKER_09]: where they will go unnoticed because of the clutter.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's not that bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just want to punish him with my ashes.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: First of all, Rob, I don't want to be in a vase, but I'd rather be in an urn, which is where they put the ashes.
[SPEAKER_05]: I suppose you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: What do I, that's a good question.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have to think about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think maybe in an urn, but they're not in time square.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, we're good morning America works.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you know, it's gone.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's gone.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess it's Charlie can visit you're great Tony.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why don't you do it in one of the places where you spend most of your time how about the dry cleaners
[SPEAKER_09]: Every time Gary calls me, I seem to be going to the dry cleaner.
[SPEAKER_09]: I had a following up with my dry cleaner.
[SPEAKER_09]: That'll be another episode.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, what a shock.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, fuck.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Dave, can we do the show?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know what to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to ask you.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have another since we last saw you.
[SPEAKER_09]: And because I know that there's something you want to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: So it relates to that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Should I drop should I do that now?
[SPEAKER_09]: And then we do that and it take a break after or what?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, let's tease this great thing and then we'll go away and then we'll come back.
[SPEAKER_09]: OK, all right, very good.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what we will do.
[SPEAKER_09]: You asked him, but he sounded bossing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, my final thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will say about the cremation thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's the only thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And everybody, here's my thing, if I'm going to be creamed it, just make triple sure that I am dead.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to, you know, that would be awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: Should we do that now?
[SPEAKER_09]: I know who's going to be dead in a moment.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's take a break.
[SPEAKER_09]: We will be back with the first five minutes of the show after this.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a mini series.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now back to you, gotta be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's Tony and Gary.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes indeed.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, welcome back to the show.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so we're still doing, since we last met you, or since we last saw you.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so yeah, I have another one for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: One piece just to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh man, I love that Rob, you are so good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, here's one.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Gary suggested this for an apparent reason.
[SPEAKER_09]: So how much new information?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to ask both of you again.
[SPEAKER_09]: How much new information did you receive and now recall during the last week?
[SPEAKER_09]: So how much new information entered your head?
[SPEAKER_09]: And that you can remember from the last week, Gary, I will go to you first.
[SPEAKER_09]: How much do you remember from the last week of new stuff?
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you're just looking for a percentage.
[SPEAKER_09]: A percentage, yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is asked the question again one more time how much new information have you held on to do you remember since we last saw you a week ago so that would be new experiences.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, things you learned, etc.
[SPEAKER_07]: All the new things that came in in the last week.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I remember 70% of it 70% Rob, what do you think you remember from the last week?
[SPEAKER_05]: I can tell you three things I forgot.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would say we are such a short attention span people.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would say 30%.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, Rob once again is closer on average.
[SPEAKER_09]: The average person retains 10 to 20% of any new information that they've received.
[SPEAKER_09]: Isn't that crazy?
[SPEAKER_09]: So basically, you've forgotten just about everything that happened to you during the last week.
[SPEAKER_09]: I get this, I'm not, you know, when you think about it, you would think, oh, it's got to be 50% or something.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, the other day, so I get up in the morning, I take my shower, put on the odorant, get ready, get dressed, go to work.
[SPEAKER_09]: Later that day, there was, I was moving around a lot at work, and I started feeling like I was getting a little sweaty under my arms.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did I put deodorant on this morning?
[SPEAKER_09]: I could not remember if I had put it on or not.
[SPEAKER_09]: And part of me thought, you know, we all probably have routines.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do everything the same way every day, every morning.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know I do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: If I got distracted for a couple of seconds, it's possible I didn't put it on.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's weird.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are you able to stop at your dry cleaners and maybe change the shirt and put the deodorant on there?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, as you know, all my shirts, you know, all my shirts are at the dry cleaners at the one I'm wearing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know you give it back.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's why stuff like every day.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know what, in terms of this information, we're not saying that you forget everything.
[SPEAKER_07]: What we're saying is that we are so filled with information that over the last week, whatever you learned that was new,
[SPEAKER_07]: most of it is gone.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it's not like you forgot everything, but forgot a lot of the new things that happened over the course of the week.
[SPEAKER_09]: The brain, the brain is fascinating to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love reading about the brain.
[SPEAKER_09]: The brain is constantly processing, okay, what do I need to hold on to?
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Am I going to keep this?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I don't need that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't need this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so it's shuffling around stuff and it decides that's gone, and you know, okay, what we got left is 20% so I can have room for future stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've produced a lot of times sorry Gary.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to throw this in if I may.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you may.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, thank you I want to wait for you to take all the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: This episode you want.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did you hear what he said?
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to wait for you to answer.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I've produced a lot of podcasts and I've hated almost every one of them
[SPEAKER_05]: But I did, no I used to do a lot of boring stuff, but there was one show that talked a lot about brain stuff and it was horrible, but one thing I took away from it is when you're in REM sleep, at night when you're most deep asleep, that's when your brain moves short term memory stuff into your long term stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: So the stuff that you keep happens during sleep, however, sometimes your brain gets mixed up and that's why you have weird dreams.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, now here's something I've read about dreams and it relates to that, but it's a little bit different.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have read and this makes sense to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you wake up from a dream.
[SPEAKER_09]: You have like like something start on the happens in the dream and it wakes you up you have just awakened yourself out of an REM sleep or out of a period where the brain is organizing like you just said Rob and because we are linear thinkers.
[SPEAKER_09]: We want things to kind of make sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: You immediately put some kind of semblance of a story together.
[SPEAKER_09]: For all these jumbled things, that's why you say, this dream made no sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was with Gary.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were in a car, but we were... That makes no sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the world, you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, and well, yeah, that would make sense.
[SPEAKER_09]: But Gary and I, or we were on the Artemis, too, you know, and a big bowl of spaghetti went by the window.
[SPEAKER_09]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: But it's because you're interrupting the brain organizing and you're putting a story on it, which does make sense.
[SPEAKER_07]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I like the theory of that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You've got to try to figure out what that most of the time and I have no idea why you've dreamt anything, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: And you're trying to figure out what am I trying to tell myself and maybe that's pointless.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're thinking about memory.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: love it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, so that actually leads just miraculously into something that I wanted to talk about for a second.
[SPEAKER_07]: Almost as if it was planned, which is not what we do.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you know that last week I was in LA and we stayed with friends and the friend David was telling me about the fact that he recently started taking Nariva, which is a memory supplement.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, you are a part of this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, so, so look at this, Nariva Plus.
[SPEAKER_07]: He started taking it and he said, you know, whether you need it or not, I mean, I started taking it because I thought that maybe there were some changes.
[SPEAKER_07]: And, you know, maybe I'm not remembering things as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: I started taking it and I realized I feel like there's a difference.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, before I even left his house, I ordered it from Amazon.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I started taking it.
[SPEAKER_07]: But what I noticed,
[SPEAKER_07]: that is what you and I just love about advertising.
[SPEAKER_07]: Rob, could you put that very same one up again?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, so that's, that's the regular nerve-reva.
[SPEAKER_07]: It says plus.
[SPEAKER_07]: But then there's another one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's another one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Could you put that one up, Rob?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, this is nerve-reva.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then let me show you this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Prevision has a very similar sort of thing, where they get, so it's Prevision regular.
[SPEAKER_07]: and then provision extra straight so here's what just drives me crazy so what are they selling you if like you only want to remember some stuff right now exactly you're going to get the regular right
[SPEAKER_07]: But if you think you're going to get more memory out of one product or the other aren't you going to buy the one that's obviously more expensive That says this is the better one if you want to get regular go ahead and get regular right who would opt for just regular
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, I don't need to remember everything, you know, not that the extra strength that you're going to remember everything, but what I also love is the two boxes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everything else is exactly the same on the box.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, ingredient, test it safe.
[SPEAKER_09]: Once daily, provision for your brain, except for regular strength, extra strength.
[SPEAKER_07]: So shouldn't something new be checked off down there on the X-ray?
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, there's like one more thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Remembrance every sexual encounter.
[SPEAKER_07]: Remember, remember everything that you ever did that way you hit a home run in life.
[SPEAKER_09]: The same thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: There should be, you know, how they put the, like, on Batman when they had the power sign that little, it should, there should be one of those on there that says, now with extra memory.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, you're going to start remembering other people's stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: But what if you're able to be selective by ordering these things and you say, I don't want to remember those girlfriends.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I want to buy the one that eliminates previous girlfriends.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, it's just stupid.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is stupid.
[SPEAKER_09]: But what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's what I think happened at some point.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I bet I know where this started.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's all about advertising and I think that they have figured out that we stupid people we fall for this stuff because and I'll bet the first time ever remember
[SPEAKER_09]: something being advertised as extra strength was Tylenol.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, probably 25 years ago, maybe even more than that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I remember, oh, you know, my headaches really bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to take extra strength Tylenol.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Does anyone even buy regular Tylenol?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, if you think that generally, you only have a mild headache.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you can predict that.
[SPEAKER_07]: You might as well get the regular one, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, yes, you have to know in advance.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: What am I predisposed to?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't need the extra strength.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's an extra $3.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I think they have figured out that we respond to that.
[SPEAKER_09]: We, you know, if it's extra strength, we're going to buy it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: If there's something extra about it, we're going to buy it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this made me look in the drugstore, under all of the supplements.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tony, take a look.
[SPEAKER_07]: Every single supplement in every store has a better version of the same.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like vitamin C. It should just simply say better vitamin C. Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even better vitamin C. If you never want to get sick,
[SPEAKER_07]: This is the vitamin C, but there are stages of every single vitamin in the store.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so which one are you going to buy the four dollar one that you're going to think?
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's not really going to do me any good.
[SPEAKER_07]: But if I get the $30 vitamin C, I'm never going to get a cold again.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's what, but here's what also because of that, here's what factors into it, which we in the store will be doing this crazy calculation.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, regular is four dollars extra strength is eight dollars is my headache four dollars more Fort worse.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, so you're also trying to figure out I'll just get the regular maybe I have a little bit of headache left, but you know at least I'll have a four more dollars of my pocket The only way that we can get this to work is if you're able to go into a drug store and buy individual pills
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that would sit right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Excuse me, Joe.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've got a really bad headache.
[SPEAKER_09]: Can I get the ultra-extra-strength super-time-al-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-right-
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it also gives you less money.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is the main thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: But we are fools.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are fools.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you think you've noticed a difference already?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: He said he did.
[SPEAKER_07]: He had been taking it for several months and he said, I really feel like I'm and he's a writer and he's a very
[SPEAKER_07]: He's a working writer.
[SPEAKER_07]: He works all the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: He writes NCIS.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was one of the executive producers of Empire.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, wrote a lot of those.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: So he's a working guy.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he said, I feel sharper.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I feel like the scripts are coming easier.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, if you, maybe if you believe it, it happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, but here's the other thing with stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: We reminded Gary of I think from episode one your problem with Reynolds rap that they also have heavy duty Yes, although I will say I've had many people since That first episode say to me after that Gary doesn't get it the heavy duty and now I forget They've said to me what it's actually for but now I forget but there is a reason for it It's I don't know when it is I'm
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't buy it, so there's a reason to buy the one that's not quite as strong, but then you don't know if tomorrow you're going to make something or store something that would require the one that's extra strong.
[SPEAKER_07]: So why don't you just buy the extra strong one because you don't know what the hell you're going to be doing?
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know what's terrible, this could prompt fights in relationships and stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: You knew I was going to make a turkey, it's heavy duty.
[SPEAKER_06]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is what husbands and wives fight about.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is leading to a marriage break.
[SPEAKER_07]: That now does Rhonda use Reynolds rap for anything?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, we both use it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: And what do you use at Fort Tony?
[SPEAKER_09]: To rap up like, you know, leftovers.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, leftovers.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Also improved television reception.
[SPEAKER_09]: which is what we used to use it for.
[SPEAKER_09]: I see most of our listeners know that, but if they're any young ones, they're like, what?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: There aren't any.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, well, we used it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's what's interesting about that, Rob.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now you've just prompted a whole other thing here.
[SPEAKER_09]: We...
[SPEAKER_09]: This is amazing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And our listeners, I want you to weigh in on this as well on our social media.
[SPEAKER_09]: Give us comments because I believe in this general age range.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have all we all experienced the exact same thing, the TV.
[SPEAKER_09]: on a stand.
[SPEAKER_09]: The reception wouldn't be bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know who came up with the idea of putting aluminum foil on the antenna that was on top of the TV and moving it around to get better reception.
[SPEAKER_09]: It did seem to work.
[SPEAKER_09]: We also all had the TV with the dial.
[SPEAKER_09]: You had to turn the knob to get to different channels.
[SPEAKER_09]: At some point that always broke off, didn't we all have pliers that we used to use to change to grab them in a plastic piece, Ross, you too?
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely, and yeah, I don't know why before I was born, there must have been like a staff of people in my family's home that would go out and break the internet as often.
[SPEAKER_05]: because no television had an antenna.
[SPEAKER_05]: We did eventually switch to code hangers.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that was, it does, it does.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did you get the hangers from the dry cleaners?
[SPEAKER_05]: I had such a great relationship with my drake leader when I was two.
[SPEAKER_07]: I remember doing it, you would roll up the aluminum foil and stick it on me at the, but you know what's not working?
[SPEAKER_07]: I keep when I don't have like good reception from Fios or whatever I'm using.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've put the aluminum foil on the momentum and it doesn't seem to seem to work at all.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, it probably hurts.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're probably getting less reception when the cable guy comes, I was going to say, here's your problem.
[SPEAKER_09]: The modems wrapped in heavy duty aluminum foil.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the chicken still looks good.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you weren't going to do it, you should have used the regular aluminum foil.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not as thick.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to do a segment.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is a new segment.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's called, I think it's new in the news.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this is because a couple of things
[SPEAKER_09]: happened during the week that I thought were just amazing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, one of them is pretty amazing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Gary, the other one sucks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, what's not so good.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, the other one.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm interested in it for different reasons.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think you're going to like this.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is an actual news report.
[SPEAKER_09]: of something that happened, I think in California.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is a new story, Gary.
[SPEAKER_09]: You should be interested in this because you do, as you've established some private eye work, and a lot of that is about insurance fraud.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trying to prove that people are trying to defraught their insurance companies by saying, I've got an injury.
[SPEAKER_09]: My roof was damaged, but oh, thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: My roof was damaged by,
[SPEAKER_09]: a lightning when it was really they were up there doing something they shouldn't have done whatever it's insurance fraud This is a story Rock let's just play This was as it was reported on the news.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think this is from inside edition so listen and if you're watching watching we'll play about the first minute of this story
[SPEAKER_00]: alleged insurance scams that we've ever heard about.
[SPEAKER_00]: Take a look at this video.
[SPEAKER_00]: The owner of the car says it was a bear that scratched up the interior.
[SPEAKER_00]: But authorities say it wasn't a bear at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was him dressed up in a bear suit like this.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's even a baby with a story.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to see to believe.
[SPEAKER_00]: caught on cameras.
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks like a giant bear ransacking the Rolls Royce.
[SPEAKER_03]: And here a massive beast appears to tear apart a Mercedes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now a ferocious bear seems to be at it again, ripping into another Mercedes.
[SPEAKER_03]: How could a bear target three cars on the same property in Lake Arrowhead, California?
[SPEAKER_03]: Turns out it's alleged to be a giant hoax.
[SPEAKER_03]: Authorities say it was actually a human wearing a bear costume, much like this one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Using sharp metal-white claws to scratch up the interior of the cars.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then that large-land insurance claim was turned in.
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the wildest on us to let you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's all you need to see.
[SPEAKER_06]: Isn't that great?
[SPEAKER_06]: How much are you going to make on that though?
[SPEAKER_06]: Watch the point.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I guess try.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if they're ruining their own vehicles.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rose Royce and two Mercedes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I need if you want the money run them off a cliff.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you're not just going to scratch up the seat with a bear costume.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is what I love.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's such an elaborate plan, but it's so stupid.
[SPEAKER_09]: The person went out and bought a bear costume.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you look at the video, you know, the bear, you can see, you know, that it made me the bears on OZEMPIC because some of the skin doesn't seem to fit very well, because it's just a floppy bear costume that is, that wasn't thought out.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was not thought out.
[SPEAKER_09]: Those are not good crux.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But they bought some kind of device to scrape on the seats, and it doesn't even look like
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it could have looked like somebody really had a kind of a wild night in the back of the Rolls Royce, you know, but not certainly not three cars.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rob is just put up an impression, an impression, a picture of Yogi Bear on our screen.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's, that's one of the few impressions I do.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, yeah, I was a standup comedian.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, you have to.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do I do this and rob it now this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ita boobie.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna go get me a picnic basket pretty good, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's very good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's very good.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yo-gyy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Rob, if anything to say, Rob, I'm just enjoying the show.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tony has shown off his impressions he's told great stories he's done.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean this has been we've been all over the place Yeah, we're really up.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I know you're done.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got a new story.
[SPEAKER_07]: Who said you were done?
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not done more impressions No more impressions and now ladies and gentlemen, Ed Sullivan might sound a little like this Now these four young men from liberators Right here on our stage.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's good character.
[SPEAKER_07]: It wasn't bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tony used to immune to Lula bankhead
[SPEAKER_06]: To a little bankhead Rob, to a little bankhead, Haley Joel Osmond.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah All right, so I don't know either of you saw this you know There've been certain acts Musical groups that I've always wanted.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh will they ever get back together?
[SPEAKER_09]: I hope they get back together.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh Come on get back together.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it was announced this week.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay sexy video is that it's oh yeah Buster Rines is in this Buster Rines.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, did I guess rap on this that's called don't you by the pussycat dolls from 2000 what is that 2003 four five something like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's right after he changed his name for Busta Hyman wasn't it I think it was 2009 sorry we did that
[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, that's what they're very enthusiastic.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm apologizing to any very misunderstanding.
[SPEAKER_07]: Making them come back.
[SPEAKER_07]: We need him.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think I think the guy in the little reaction there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that was very funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, anyway
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, are you excited about this?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I got to tell you something about Nicole Shersinger.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's really one of the reasons why I'm not excited.
[SPEAKER_07]: Otherwise, I really would be is.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I saw her in Sunset Boulevard.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: She won the Tony Award.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my gosh.
[SPEAKER_07]: She won the Tony Award.
[SPEAKER_07]: So the show was amazing.
[SPEAKER_07]: She was the most amazing thing I've ever seen on Broadway, maybe ever.
[SPEAKER_07]: But here's, I'm serious, but here's how she's killing it for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: All the stuff that she puts on her story, or anything that she runs on social media.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's all like,
[SPEAKER_07]: It's all, every single thing is some sexy, hot pose, where she's, why can't you let somebody else even eludes to the fact that you might be sexy?
[SPEAKER_07]: But every single thing that she does is bear skin.
[SPEAKER_07]: and she's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not hard to look at, but it is hard to see you celebrate yourself all the time, which is killing my version of what an amazing performer she is.
[SPEAKER_07]: I almost don't care anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a far cry from how I felt when I saw Sunset Boulevard.
[SPEAKER_07]: You don't like bear skin?
[SPEAKER_07]: I do, when it's on a bear.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, this means that every episode, you have to figure out a way to work in yogi-bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: You'll get better, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, you did it whole not happy with her.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, but see, you're not with it, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you've got to get with it, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've got to get with it, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: You've got to get with it, man.
[SPEAKER_05]: You've got to get with it, man.
[UNKNOWN]: You've got to get with it, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: Where's that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey Rob, where's Buddy Hackett with Robert Q. Lewis and Tridon of you?
[SPEAKER_07]: Robert, you're not Lewis.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're not Lewis.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's dead, people.
[UNKNOWN]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: Robert Q Lewis you are so oh my goodness you're so in the past, but here's like it bingo Yes, I know but this is what this is what all the girls and the ladies do now There I mean it's all about self-promotion getting clicks and I mean this is common and so I'll bet this is true of Nicole because I know it's true of
[SPEAKER_09]: most of these starlets or influencers or whatever they are, they all have one pose.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have decided, I look better at this angle with the lips, pound it out a little bit, or you know, that's my better side.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you look pretty good like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm doing the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know who's famous for this Mariah Carey.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you look, if you put up a whole lineup of Mariah Carey pictures, they're all from the same angle.
[SPEAKER_09]: And because she is decided,
[SPEAKER_09]: And so that's what they do now.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's all about, but listen, I'll bet Nicole Scherzen, Scherzenger.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm gonna look her up right now and Instagram.
[SPEAKER_09]: See how many followers she has.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's really, it's gonna be in the millions, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Who is that?
[SPEAKER_07]: Robert C. Lewis.
[SPEAKER_09]: Robert C. Lewis.
[SPEAKER_05]: Robert C. Lewis.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just have to go his Instagram.
[SPEAKER_05]: and but we know who he is just us I think it's important that we do this and does he have an Instagram and he does not because I believe he is right right right but next week we will discuss Harvey Lumback first and go how do you say oh there it is okay guess how many followers she had oh my goodness oh
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Rob, you can put up some of those pictures if you want, but I mean, it's it's all skin and she loves herself from every angle telling me.
[SPEAKER_09]: He doesn't have a favorite size.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's not showing as much skin as some do.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, I mean, she does have the let me tell you something that I saw.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you go ahead.
[SPEAKER_09]: You tell me go on because now you're you're a little ticked at her and
[SPEAKER_09]: I like her, but I'm a little ticked at her.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a clip of her you can go on YouTube and find it.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was a guest.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it what I don't now I can't remember if it's Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's Conan.
[SPEAKER_09]: She is wearing a low-cut
[SPEAKER_09]: the luckiest dress with the boobs pushed up, you know how that effect, you're gonna look at that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so Conan takes a glimpse and she says, I's up here, Conan, I's up here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, oh yeah, that's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You did everything you could to get eyes down there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: And now you don't like it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: and it's not like you off.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it does.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not like he's, you know, staring at them intently.
[SPEAKER_09]: He took a glimpse, you know, and, and, and you've, you've presented them that way.
[SPEAKER_09]: So did she bring it up again after he took her home?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, then she's.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, this is mild.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you had a video of her walking and showing, you know, I'm not that kind of show here.
[SPEAKER_09]: I remember all the buttons, all the buttons, so many buttons.
[SPEAKER_09]: But let me, so I want to ask you a question, Gary, because you loved her performance.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm such she was great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know you, but you went into it with kind of a different expectation, because she was a pussycat doll.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's on one of those judge shows masked singer, I think, but you didn't expect a lot out of her.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, Tony Perkins, I will tell you that when I saw a sunset before I knew she was in the pussycat dolls.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just knew that there was all this press about this amazing person and I thought, well, so many people have played this role, what makes her so special, her voice is insane, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you know what, I'll probably go see her in another Broadway show if it's not about her showing off her body.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, now see that would bring me to the show if that was you ever told him you're strong and we're no I appreciate I appreciate the human form
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you do.
[SPEAKER_07]: How many pussy cathouses did we have to go to in New York when we were hanging together?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not true.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm true.
[SPEAKER_07]: Ron, I never wanted to go.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, we just wanted to go out there.
[SPEAKER_07]: We used to wander the city looking for these cathouses, you know?
[SPEAKER_07]: And I just wanted to go home to build mine.
[SPEAKER_09]: When I'd made Gary go, you're my producer.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you have to go.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can get me together with Roker, but what about this?
[SPEAKER_06]: You're right, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, I think that's gonna be it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, from what I mean?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think I mean, where are we time wise?
[SPEAKER_06]: I think we're done.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I just do a line from Sentival Woman?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just getting warmed up.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I mean, this is, so folks, you don't know this, but I think we're beginning.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know how on Jimmy Kimmel, he always advertises Matt Damon.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's going to, oh, you used to do this.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Matt Damon is going to, oh, we ran out of time for Matt Damon.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, developing our own Matt Damon because there's a segment that we have thought was going to form the heart of the episode for three weeks in a row and we're not getting to it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fortunately, it's evergreen, and when we do it, it's going to be great.
[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, I think we're out of time.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think we have time for this.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't either.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think we have time.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rob in your professional producer role.
[SPEAKER_09]: Unless you're looking at videos of Nicole Shursinger, what do you think?
[SPEAKER_05]: How's that?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I was going to say...
[SPEAKER_05]: The longer you sit on this segment, the more exciting it becomes because it becomes more vintage.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's very solid.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's very entertaining, but it would be silly to try and just sort of wedge it in now.
[SPEAKER_05]: So let's hear it this week.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, or more vintage August, or in August, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: More vintage says you, that was my, that was my rap name, move vintage.
[SPEAKER_09]: More.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, that is going to do it for this.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is this episode eight of you got to be kidding me?
[SPEAKER_09]: This is, you know, this is such a joy.
[SPEAKER_09]: I cannot, this is such a joy.
[SPEAKER_09]: We all have lives and things going on, you know, we're all getting older and so things start to happen,
[SPEAKER_09]: You've got his neck issue, I've got, you know, your neck issue is below the waist and, you know, that's not true.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, actually, you have no issue.
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's just say, let's just say, I won't be visiting any pussycat houses.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if I'll see it won't be.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you can lose it.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can lose it.
[SPEAKER_06]: But you can't do no business.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: But this way, you don't have to pay.
