1:33

for listening. You guys are cool.

1:36

So cool. What? Hey, nothing

1:38

Donna. I'm happy to have you. Thanks man.

1:43

Yeah Just checking the

1:45

inbox if we had anything interesting

1:47

to start with urinal chris writes

1:49

urinal plumbing code Requires 24

1:51

inches between urinals with no

1:53

divider and 30 inches with

1:55

a divider space is more the

1:58

reason for them having dividers Not

2:00

the money talking about wanting there to

2:02

be divides in between all urinals, okay?

2:06

Maybe take the space into

2:08

consideration before you build a

2:10

bathroom Well, hey

2:12

now, Donna, look at you. We

2:15

should drop in the more like, is that a

2:17

city hall thing or is that a PTO thing?

2:19

I don't know what it is. I don't know.

2:21

We should drop into more city council meetings. Yeah,

2:23

ruffle some feathers. Yeah, I love it.

2:26

I would have been here earlier had I

2:28

not been stuck in that red light for

2:30

two minutes. Holy moly. And

2:32

that intersection that doesn't have a stop

2:34

sign should be a four way stop.

2:37

Oh no, was just trying to.

2:39

It was good. And these taxes

2:41

are getting. Out of control, which

2:44

they are. They are. Yeah. It's

2:46

ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I

2:48

still got to call my bank. I forgot about the

2:50

whole escrow thing. Something about

2:52

an escrow shortage or something. I don't know. Yeah, you

2:54

just have to pay them. You

2:56

already have a shortage. I

2:59

think I have a shortage. Do I have

3:01

a shortage? You probably have a shortage. If

3:03

you have a shortage, I bet I have

3:05

a shortage. I don't know. All I know

3:07

is I looked and saw a mortgage payment

3:09

on a bill. Yep. And it said twice

3:11

as much as what the mortgage normally is,

3:13

and I think that's to fund the escrow.

3:16

So you could either pay the

3:18

whole shortage or you can raise

3:20

your mortgage. I

3:23

always like to just try. I just always want

3:25

to pay it. Yeah, I do want to pay

3:27

it. I just want to pay it. I want

3:29

things to be cheaper. I don't

3:31

want to pay it. Also. Gas

3:35

is so expensive right now. It was

3:37

just inexpensive recently and now it's expensive.

3:39

It doesn't feel inexpensive. Why

3:42

don't you put your guy Billy Bob Thornton on it from Landman?

3:44

Is that what he's trying to do? Get us oil? All

3:47

right, that's really a stretch there. I don't

3:49

know. It's the oil fields. Oil.

3:53

Right? Isn't Landman all about oil? You

3:55

ever interviewed that guy, by the way?

3:57

I did. He's bonkers. He is really

4:00

nice. He's very,

4:02

um... I thought

4:05

he'd be like, we have two totally

4:07

different takeaways. I thought he was so

4:09

much cooler than I thought he would

4:11

be in like just down to earth

4:13

and laid back. Would you get

4:15

him when he was on something? He told

4:17

me he was like snorting pepper.

4:20

Okay, so he was because

4:22

he was like, and I'm

4:24

like, what are, what are

4:26

you doing, sir? And

4:28

he was like, well, Pepper

4:30

is good for whatever so I'm just

4:33

I don't know if he was just

4:35

messing around and being playful But I

4:37

was like looking at my on -air

4:40

partner at the time like What the

4:42

hell with this guy? We'd

4:45

ask him a question and he would change

4:47

the subject. He was just all over the

4:49

place. I Don't

4:51

think I've ever snorted anything. I

4:54

think he was snorting like red

4:56

pepper flakes or something like that

4:59

I guess I've done knockoff flow

5:01

nays. But

5:04

I, that must be

5:07

a crazy feeling. Yeah, I

5:09

don't know. It was, I think he was trying

5:11

to combat allergies or something, but anyway. I think

5:13

the closest I've ever gotten to drug use is

5:15

using a netty pot. That felt like an out

5:17

-of -body experience. I was so It's pretty cool

5:19

when you see it come out the other end,

5:21

right? Oh, and you tell me, you think quickly

5:23

it'll tell me a scarier moment in your human

5:25

life than the first time you use a netty

5:27

pot. Right, and you're like, is it gonna work?

5:29

Is it gonna work? Is it gonna go? Is

5:31

it gonna get it gonna come out of my

5:33

ears, my eyes? And then it works, and you're

5:35

so happy you just want to keep doing it.

5:37

But you got to use that saline water, because

5:39

otherwise you can get a neb in your brain

5:41

and die. Not saline water,

5:44

distilled water. Sure. You can't use

5:46

tap water. Do not use what

5:48

I said. And as always, please

5:50

do your own research later, not

5:52

doctors. We have covered taxes, the

5:55

price of gas and oil. We've

5:57

covered urinal, Billy Bob Thornton, being bonkers

5:59

and nice. And neti -pots. And

6:01

neti -pots. This has been... We do

6:04

and do and do for you kids.

6:06

What do we get in return?

6:08

Hey, Donna. Complaint emails? Yeah, yeah! Hey,

6:11

next time we're taking a set of the complaint email, do

6:13

me a favor and don't... Sure,

6:16

Judy will change the entire segment because you didn't

6:19

like it. What are we doing? I don't know.

6:21

I'm so sorry. Who's Judy? I don't know. And

6:23

we've received really nice emails. I don't know where

6:25

that came Thank you, everybody. I think you guys

6:27

need to go on a vacation. We do need

6:29

a vacation. you're going on one day. Yeah, we

6:31

do. Yeah, but that's a whole thing because now

6:34

we got this whole prep for the spray tan.

6:36

I know. And now I'm seeing, don't

6:38

go in chlorine. Don't go in

6:40

hot tub afterwards because it can

6:43

like ruin your spray tan. And

6:45

I'm like, what? are we doing

6:48

here? May I read you a

6:50

story, a warning from a listener

6:52

of ours. Let

6:55

me see here. I've been

6:57

exfoliating. I've been hydrating and

6:59

moisturizing and cleansing. This

7:05

is from Bridget. Hey,

7:07

Bridget. Speaking of spray tans.

7:10

I went to this place for

7:12

a full body scrub followed by

7:14

hand -applied self -tanner. Awkward.

7:17

Anyway, feeling good. I

7:19

was no longer the whitest person in America.

7:21

I get to Mexico, staying at a posh

7:23

all -inclusive. I go to the pool and

7:25

head to the hot tub, which is full of strangers. Drinking

7:29

my fruity cocktails and making friends. All of

7:31

a sudden, I notice all

7:33

of the bubbles around me and

7:35

spreading through the tub. Our

7:37

orange. I was

7:39

coming off into the hot tub and

7:42

onto all of the strangers I was

7:44

trying to win over. I

7:46

quickly gathered myself and got the heck

7:48

out of there before people started pointing

7:50

fingers. Needless to say that

7:52

was the only trip to the hot tub that

7:54

I made and from then on I rock the

7:57

white. Oh my gosh.

8:00

I think you just have to continuously like if you

8:02

go on the pool you have to rinse. You

8:04

have to rinse. right after to

8:07

get the chlorine off of you.

8:09

Here's the decision I've made regarding

8:12

my tan. You're gonna skip it?

8:14

No. I'm gonna go

8:16

to a machine spray tan. Oh, okay.

8:19

No one, so you don't have to

8:21

worry about lifting anything, separating any of

8:23

that. I just go, spray

8:26

it on me, and these machines tell you, like, turn

8:28

to the left and put your feet on one and

8:30

three in their little footprints below you and stuff like

8:32

that. It's right up the street. That's

8:34

what I'm gonna do. Okay. I

8:36

think. And you're going to

8:38

have someone spray you. Spray me. What

8:41

an intimate experience. I mean, what

8:43

do you do? What do you do? What

8:46

do you do? What do you do? What do you do? We

8:51

got to take a break.

8:54

What? Can I squeeze something in here? I don't think

8:56

so. Come on, I can't. All right, good. The

8:59

same person who sent me the

9:01

tanning email sent me a DM

9:03

rather. Said hey, I

9:06

had a Jack Black encounter. Oh

9:08

She said I am a huge

9:10

wolves fan and I often travel

9:13

during the regular season but always

9:15

in the postseason I Had decent

9:18

seats last Saturday and when I

9:20

arrived this is out in LA

9:22

Who was sitting in my seat?

9:25

No, but Jack Black stop he

9:27

was in the wrong seat, but

9:29

the right seat to meet me

9:33

We became fast frenemies. He says he

9:35

will only convert to being a wolves

9:37

fan if slash when we win this

9:39

series so fun. She has a picture

9:41

of her and Jack Black Out there,

9:44

which is really fun. So then other

9:46

Jack Black news Jack Black has set

9:48

a record for the shortest song ever

9:50

to make the hot 100 Wow, it

9:53

is the song Steve's lava chicken which

9:55

comes up toward the end of the

9:57

Minecraft movie. We've got a cute up

9:59

here Donna. This is a 34 second

10:02

song. The shortest song ever to make

10:04

the Hot 100. Here it is in

10:06

its entirety. We

10:09

have listened to that song so many times.

10:11

It's so good. Can you play lava chicken

10:13

again? Oh my god, it's so good. Congrats

10:15

to Jack Black. Yeah, what was that other

10:17

great song he had? I know we have

10:19

to go. That was Peaches. Oh, so good.

10:21

the Super Mario Brothers movie. Damn. Why is

10:23

he not the sexiest man alive? He might

10:25

be. Give it time. There's a movement. right.

10:28

It's great. When we come back,

10:30

I saw another facelift from a

10:32

guy on Instagram who was Down

10:34

in Missouri and I think is

10:36

doing maybe the best plastic surgery

10:38

I've ever seen huh Tell you

10:40

about it when we return Donna

10:43

Theors, always entertaining you. Hey,

11:47

Donna. Hey, Steve. Listen,

11:49

I used to think that pretty much all

11:51

facelifts kind of looked bad. Like

11:53

you could just tell, okay, somebody got worked. I

11:56

don't think that's true. Look at Dolly Parton. Look

11:58

at Jane Fonda. Dolly Parton has a network. I

12:01

didn't even know she wore a wig until a couple years

12:03

ago when you had to break that news to me. And

12:06

I was like, wait, what?

12:09

Maybe joking. I

12:11

think throughout much of my life, I've

12:14

cared very little about cosmetic procedures. I

12:16

only ever hear about them when they

12:18

go poorly. Kenny Rogers, God rest his

12:20

soul. But boy, he looks surprised.

12:23

Yeah, the eye lift thing. It can

12:25

be. tricky. I'd be too afraid. I

12:27

mean, that's taken a chance with the

12:30

rest of your life. Well,

12:32

I stumbled upon a facelift that went really great

12:34

about a month ago. I was like, holy smokes,

12:36

that is a really good facelift. Then I saw

12:39

another one. Click on this link done. I saw

12:41

it on people .com. There's a

12:43

woman named Margo, 58 years old.

12:45

And she went to see Dr.

12:48

Mike Nyak, who operates out of

12:50

St. Louis, Missouri. And

12:53

her before and afters are really

12:55

Great. And it looks really natural.

12:57

That's what I'm really taken by.

12:59

Yeah. What did she get done?

13:01

Thanks for asking. She

13:03

got a deep plain extended preservation

13:05

facelift, a deep neck

13:07

lift, a brow

13:09

lift, an upper and

13:11

lower blepharoplasty and full

13:13

face CO2 laser resurfacing.

13:17

How much do you think something like that

13:19

costs? I would imagine that's

13:21

got to be over a hundred grand.

13:24

Really? I don't know, I'm making stuff

13:26

up, but that's my answer. Really? If

13:28

you get all of those things done,

13:30

that's a lot of procedures. I

13:33

mean... Do they do it all in one?

13:36

Yeah, she knew about it a year in

13:38

advance. She sort of spontaneously

13:40

decided, you know what, I'm gonna do it.

13:42

And then just didn't look back, got on

13:44

the calendar a year later. And this was

13:47

after just stumbling on this Dr. Mike Nyak's

13:49

Instagram page. And she

13:51

saw these really... Crazy before and afters

13:53

and said fine. We're doing

13:56

it. I will say this if you

13:58

get a facelift The part you need

14:00

to prepare for the most is that

14:02

day after when you look like a

14:05

burn victim They've lasered off the top

14:07

layer of your skin They've

14:09

pulled places, they're tightening things, and

14:12

there's swelling that happens afterward.

14:14

There's bruising. You really need to

14:16

be emotionally prepared because it is

14:18

the quintessential, it gets worse before

14:21

it gets better. Yeah, you

14:23

know what, what is her name?

14:25

Susan Sarandon's daughter, Eva,

14:29

just had a

14:31

breast reduction. And

14:34

she was showing some of

14:36

the bruises. That

14:39

happen and holy moly

14:41

It's because it's trauma

14:43

to your body, right?

14:45

That is crazy.

14:48

I got to

14:50

find her name

14:52

Ava Amore Amore

14:54

Amore Here's

15:02

the thing. I am most impressed.

15:05

They have a profile picture of this

15:07

woman. I am most impressed with the

15:09

neck. What did I

15:11

get? What did I get? I got

15:13

one of those jaw balls that you bite on to

15:15

try to get a more pronounced jaw. And then I

15:17

stopped chewing on it. So now I

15:20

still have my same stupid dumb chin. Why'd

15:22

you stop chewing on it? Because didn't want to keep

15:24

chewing on it. It kind of made me feel

15:26

like I was going to gag sometimes. I

15:29

didn't want that. But that's what, I

15:32

could be open to

15:34

that someday. A little

15:36

neck thing. What do I got? How hard is it to get the neck

15:39

thing? The little chin thing? I

15:41

don't know. You know who I think had

15:43

worked on her neck a while ago was

15:45

Ellen. Because you know,

15:48

your neck can age you. Even

15:50

if your face looks great, if

15:53

you've got Neck and chest, that's wrinkly,

15:55

like mine looks like crepe paper. Great,

15:58

now I'm gonna get crepe erase ads.

16:02

It can really age you, just like

16:04

your hands can age you. My mom

16:07

always said, you can always see a

16:09

woman's age in her hands. Yes. What

16:12

do we call this? Is the chest,

16:14

neck thing, the declutter? The declutter. Is

16:16

it the declutter? It's the declutter. Do

16:18

you not know? The declotage. Isn't

16:21

it a declutter? I don't know

16:23

how to pronounce it. Oh, I

16:26

should have known That's one

16:28

of your that's your kryptonite

16:30

a blind spot. Yes anything that

16:32

is rooted Obviously in French

16:34

a foreign language is very difficult

16:36

for Donna Decla but man

16:38

this lady her profile when

16:40

she's looking her chin like looking

16:43

down From the profile is

16:45

really awesome Come over here

16:47

and look at this, Donna. Come

16:49

see this. You didn't see

16:51

this one. Just come see this one so you can be

16:53

like, wow, this is so great. Look

16:56

at this looking down. Boom

16:58

to bang. Yeah, it looks amazing. That's

17:01

something, huh? Yeah, I think. Hi.

17:04

I think what happens is you

17:07

really lose elasticity in your skin

17:09

and your muscles because you lose

17:11

muscle mass as you get older.

17:14

Yeah. And like once you hit

17:16

a certain age, I

17:19

told you this already, you

17:21

see the acceleration happening not

17:23

over five years or 10

17:26

years, I'm watching it happen

17:28

weekly. You feel like there was

17:30

a day that you woke up, looked in the mirror

17:32

and thought, well, we've turned a corner. Yes. In

17:34

a negative way. Absolutely. Yes,

17:37

like I looked down at my

17:39

body and went, what

17:42

happened? Overnight, I went

17:44

to bed, I had a certain kind

17:46

of body, I woke up in the

17:48

morning, I am not kidding you, I

17:51

literally woke up, looked down and went,

17:53

oh my God, what happened? Like,

17:56

your flesh gets very, like,

17:59

flabby. It was like someone untied

18:02

the corset? Yes, yes.

18:05

And it was like, what? What?

18:09

What? So

18:13

are you gonna do anything? Stop

18:16

pushing your agenda on me. Oh

18:18

wow, just cuz I'm going to

18:20

get my Botox today. For

18:23

my sweat! And also

18:25

for my angry eyebrows that my family constantly tells

18:28

me I look angry. I would love to be

18:30

a fly on the wall in your house. See

18:33

how you run things. You

18:36

probably have a whistle around your neck. What,

18:40

like it's the Von Trapp children? Totally. Totally.

18:42

You make them line up. The

18:44

good night routine takes a very long time as they

18:46

all sing to your mother and I entertain us before

18:49

you retire for the evening. Oh,

18:52

26:13

the third? The third question is

26:15

this. In 1961, he did a

26:18

cover of this Bobby Helms Christmas

26:20

song. Donna, you said, Silver Bells.

26:22

Steve, you said here comes Santa

26:24

26:26

is Jingle Bell Rock. Jingle Bell

26:28

Rock. Oh, good one. Yeah,

26:32

a good song. Hey,

26:37

the score? The current tally in

26:39

Steve, but Donna now has

26:46

38 points. Hey, we

26:48

have to decide. What are we

26:50

gonna do about next week? That

26:53

is something I want to talk to with

26:55

you guys about I kind of figured in

26:57

terms of the points We just kind of

27:00

make next week void just because none of

27:02

the three regular Contestants for the game or

27:04

pieces of the game are plain obviously, okay?

27:06

I can still whip up college of pop

27:08

culture knowledge and we can just have them

27:10

27:12

idea. Okay. I'll do that idea. Okay, okay

27:17

oh Can I also go

27:19

27:28

out where he stands in this professional

27:30

landscape. I

27:32

27:34

this show. Oh, totally. Just from without a doubt.

27:59

had? Maybe, maybe two years. Maybe.

28:03

Yeah. Maybe two. Yeah. Ryan made it

28:06

two years and then we canned them

28:08

during the pandemic. I

28:11

remember, right after got Rocko,

28:13

then he was stolen by

28:15

Lori and Julia. Oh

28:17

yeah, that's right. Remember, they were like, oh yeah,

28:19

we'll take Rocko. And then we get Grant and

28:21

they're like, you know what, we'll take Grant. Oh

28:24

yeah. And then Don had to

28:26

help us out after Ryan got canned. That's right.

28:28

I'll never forget you coming to me after that

28:30

show and saying, Ryan has got to

28:32

go. And then boom, next day. I never would

28:34

say that. Yeah, and then we had

28:36

Mike Ganger. And he was like, oh

28:39

28:41

afternoon show was like, oh, do you like money

28:43

more? And then they stole him away. And now

28:45

we have Stormer and the writing's on the wall.

28:47

It's not gonna last. without a doubt. Yep. I

28:50

updated my LinkedIn profile today as a

28:52

matter of fact. That's actually true. Me

28:54

and Lex were talking before the show

28:56

and we're like, we haven't checked our

28:58

LinkedIn's in a while. It's been at

29:00

least like. three years for me. I

29:02

have an account, but I never did

29:04

anything with it. People have asked me

29:06

to write whatever references for them. I'm

29:08

like, sure. People

29:10

still congratulate me on like the anniversary of

29:12

when I was on direct TV's screening room.

29:14

I used to be on like the video

29:16

on demand channel on direct TV. I

29:19

did that for like two years and haven't done it

29:21

in about 12. And people are

29:23

like, Hey, congratulations, man. a LinkedIn abuser.

29:26

I only turn to LinkedIn. You

29:28

know, everybody has a friend that you turn

29:30

to when you're desperate because they're always there

29:32

for you. That's what LinkedIn is. If I

29:35

get canned from a job, I am suddenly

29:37

neck deep in LinkedIn. Really? I'm congratulating people.

29:39

I even look at it. I don't either.

29:42

I'm sure they kicked me out since

29:44

I haven't used an account in a

29:46

long time. Anyway, do you want to

29:48

30:22

so I was adjacent. No,

30:25

very, very good, Donna. Yes,

30:27

I use the word adjacent

30:29

twice. Wow. I, according to

30:31

LinkedIn, have

30:33

been a television show host

30:36

at Reels Channel for 15

30:38

years and seven months. That's

30:40

amazing. You should Google yourself

30:42

and see all your children's

30:44

names and it's so funny.

30:46

Yeah. Oh, wow. How much

30:48

money you make. All

30:50

sorts of stuff. Yeah, I know. I've seen

30:53

it. Your home address too. Probably. Yep. That's

30:55

out there. All right.

30:57

Let's take a break. When we come back,

31:00

Blarf. What are we gonna

31:02

do, Donna? I don't know. Donna, I'm sleepy. Help

31:05

me out. You're the leader. Oh, I have some

31:07

really good Nespresso coffee if you want some. Okay.

31:11

Hey, when we come back, we have

31:13

three different tips. I have, why this,

31:16

this is a great time to book

31:18

a flight. Donna's got some

31:20

stupid iPhone hack and then I'll come

31:22

in with another good one about applying

31:24

sunblock when drinking. We'll get

31:27

to all of it when we come back. It's

31:29

Donna and Steve on my talk. Thank you for

31:31

listening. Donna's a little hangry

31:33

today. You are the hangry one.

31:35

I am having a great time.

31:39

You're such a fraud. People knew the real

31:41

you. I am the real me.

31:43

I'm vulnerable. You're fraud lady. You

31:46

are fraud lady. What are you talking

31:48

about? I'm the exact same person. On

31:51

and off. The

31:53

radio. I have

31:55

a tip. Time for a tip.

31:58

There you go. Donna?

32:01

What? A

32:04

study at Florida Atlantic University

32:06

found you're more likely to

32:08

get a sunburn when you've

32:10

been drinking. So

32:12

the tip is make sure you

32:14

apply your sunblock before you have

32:17

your first beverage. They

32:19

talked to a bunch of people

32:21

who had recently been burned, sunburn

32:23

victims, and one in five said

32:25

alcohol was a factor. meaning

32:28

they just forgot or didn't feel like

32:30

it. Cause they were caught up in

32:32

the party. Yeah. You're less likely to

32:35

apply sunscreen when you are tipsy. You're

32:37

more likely to misjudge how long you've

32:39

been in the sun and potentially more

32:41

likely to pass out for a long

32:44

nappy wappy. And that's why you come

32:46

in super sunburn. Can I just say

32:48

something about sunburn people? And

32:50

I've been sunburned before. Oh, it's the

32:53

worst. You can't sleep. Oh, you're hot.

32:55

But isn't there, The older I've

32:58

gotten, when I see someone who's

33:00

sunburned, I feel like they've just shown me a

33:02

card where I know a lot about their life.

33:05

They're a wreck. They're a little bit a disaster.

33:07

it. How about the people? I

33:10

mock these people. tell. The people who are

33:12

like, you offer them sunscreen,

33:14

and they go, no,

33:16

I don't need that. It's cloudy out.

33:18

Well, you're an idiot, right? Have

33:22

you not been on planet

33:24

Earth? and come

33:26

in contact with information over

33:28

the past 50 years? Like,

33:31

I'm talking about grown adult

33:34

people in their 40s and

33:36

50s. Oh, really? Okay, good

33:38

luck with that, Cindy. That

33:43

got a little mean at the end, I think. But

33:47

seriously, you see someone walk around

33:49

at your all -inclusive resort and

33:51

they are beet -red. But they're

33:53

in the restaurant so their sunglasses

33:56

sunburn line is very visible as

33:58

well And I just think I

34:00

bet you don't even file your

34:02

taxes on time Right Yeah, it's

34:04

like come on get it together

34:07

right what were you playing volleyball

34:09

in the pool all day? Put

34:13

on some sunscreen I'm looking forward

34:15

to judging some people in this

34:17

next week. I'm like a burn

34:19

guy over here and dope All

34:21

right, there's a tip for you.

34:23

Apply your sunscreen before you take

34:25

your first drink. That

34:28

is such a dumb tip. Donna, that's

34:30

a good tip. I'm sorry I blew

34:32

up. It's

34:35

just so low hanging fruit. I know, but

34:37

there are a lot of dumb people out

34:39

there. You're right. You're right. Many who we

34:41

know listen to this show. They

34:44

just know people.

34:47

OK, I have an iPhone hack. All right.

34:51

Maybe you already knew this, but

34:53

I didn't. I didn't know that

34:55

you could take photos while recording

34:58

video on your phone. I did

35:00

not know this. Okay, so when

35:02

you're capturing, you know, an important

35:04

moment, a wedding, whatever, you

35:07

would probably love to have both photos

35:09

and videos. Well, now instead of needing

35:12

two cameras or stopping and starting, Your

35:15

iPhone can take them both at the

35:17

same time. So while

35:19

you're recording video, so

35:22

if you go into your phone and you hit the

35:24

video mode, you will

35:26

notice a round white button.

35:29

It says to the left of the red recording

35:31

button, mine happened to be on the right. You

35:34

just tap it to take

35:36

photos without interrupting or impairing

35:39

your video quality. And

35:41

then when the recording stops, both your

35:43

video and photos will be in your

35:45

camera roll. Okay, I just tried this

35:47

while you were talking. I tried it

35:49

also during a little commercial break. Wow.

35:51

Neat, right? That is really neat. I

35:53

never knew that. I mean, I don't

35:56

know if they're going to come out

35:58

perfect, but... It's great

36:00

though to not have to toggle back

36:02

and forth. That's cool. That's

36:04

very cool. Thank you, Donna. You're so welcome. And

36:07

I just tried it too. The pictures look great.

36:09

Just as good a quality as a normal picture

36:11

would. Okay. All right. This is good stuff. Donna

36:14

with a tech tip. Thank you. Merr.

36:18

Hey. Hey. Bad

36:21

economy. Sure, you could argue that.

36:23

But maybe that makes it a good time to

36:26

buy a flight. And by buy a flight, I

36:28

mean book a flight. I've

36:30

been thinking about this a lot. Well,

36:32

flights within the United States are

36:35

getting cheaper as some economic uncertainty

36:37

has spooked some travelers from planning

36:39

trips. So last month, Ferris fell

36:41

5 .3 % from the year

36:43

before. That's a big drop. Yeah,

36:47

this is great. This is

36:50

great because I think every airline

36:52

is offering at least some kind

36:54

of specials. You know what I

36:56

mean? Like maybe they'll upgrade you

36:58

a little bit or they're just

37:00

cheap. I might fly out

37:02

to the Bahamas sometime. Yeah,

37:06

right. You will never go to the Bahamas.

37:08

Oh, wait, we're going there. We're going there

37:10

on the cruise. such a dummy, and I've

37:13

been there twice before. I know, but that

37:15

was different, Donna. You're now

37:17

casino tour Donna. That's right. I've got

37:19

the shadow version of you. You're like

37:21

the hologram. I'm touring with the hologram.

37:24

You're Frankie Valley. Oh

37:30

My gosh, oh Basically a cardboard

37:32

cutout which you never see Conan

37:34

O 'Brien's bit where he cuts

37:36

the mouth out Yes, and then

37:39

it's just a picture of someone

37:41

and then just the mouth is

37:43

moving By the way, I said

37:45

you another Corey Feldman video last

37:47

night on Instagram. I hope you

37:49

got that So I feel like

37:52

that What's

37:54

he doing? Is he performing? I can't. He's

37:56

performing. Just pull it

37:58

up. No. Just look at it, Donna. I

38:00

want to. Support artists. You're

38:02

the one. If I had a nickel for every

38:04

time, she said we should take the arts out

38:06

of schools. He's such a liar. Stop spreading rumors.

38:09

I don't want to do it right now. Just do it, Donna. It's

38:12

Corey Feldman. Am I

38:14

supposed to describe it to everybody? Sure. All

38:17

right. Let's see here. Messages

38:21

Steve Patterson sent

38:23

a real here.

38:26

We go. Okay.

38:28

He's a loud

38:30

man No Okay,

38:32

can we talk

38:34

about this sure

38:37

I don't know

38:39

what's going on

38:41

on his head

38:43

He's wearing He's

38:51

got like this bedazzled bandana

38:53

on the back of his

38:55

head with these giant sunglasses.

38:58

Yeah. And he's... I

39:01

think he thinks he's Michael

39:03

Jackson. Yeah. A

39:05

little bit. Yeah, it's

39:07

troubling. Who would you

39:10

rather see in concert right now? Corey

39:13

Feldman or Frankie Valley. I

39:16

think I would go with Frankie. Okay,

39:19

just because a chance to see a

39:21

legend and you know and love the

39:23

songs. Yeah. Listen, I'm not exactly a

39:25

tour promoter, but strike while the iron's

39:27

hot. I'd say we have Corey Franky.

39:30

Corey opens for Frankie. Wouldn't

39:33

that be good? I'll tell

39:35

you what, if Corey Feldman

39:37

was playing the free stage

39:39

at the State Fair, I'd

39:41

go absolutely hands down, gonna

39:43

be there. Grandstand.

39:47

Not so much. Yeah, yeah,

39:49

I gotta be able to walk past them.

39:51

I'm not even gonna sit down. I'm gonna

39:54

walk and I'm gonna stop for two songs

39:56

and then say all right. I've had enough

39:58

of this. What is

40:00

he doing? I don't understand like does

40:03

he think? Does

40:05

he think people think he's cool or does

40:07

he? think so. I think levels.

40:09

But maybe there are some people who do. I

40:12

find it comical.

40:15

I think that there are in

40:17

Hollywood levels of delusion that you

40:19

and I haven't even considered. That

40:23

people, he probably has a

40:25

bunch of yes people around him. That was great

40:27

Corey, that was great. And we do like the

40:30

outfit. Just a bunch of

40:32

yes people and then you live in a delusional

40:34

bubble. But

40:36

he seems to be having a nice time.

40:38

Okay, yeah, you're right. Who are we to

40:40

say? It's like when you have a little

40:42

kid who you say, Sure, you can dress

40:44

yourself today. Yes. And then they

40:46

come down and they're clashing and they've

40:49

got one galosh on and on. It's

40:51

funny you say that because I was

40:53

at the Dollar Tree one day and

40:55

there was a man there with his

40:57

little daughter, little toddler girl. She had

40:59

lipstick all over her face, eye shadow

41:01

on her forehead. It was

41:04

adorable. You saw Corey Feldman's spirit

41:06

animal. That's right. Looking
