[SPEAKER_04]: And now, here's Tony and Gary.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey there boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 13 if you've got to be kidding me.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Tony Perkins, Gary Stein I believe is here, but if you're listening, I'm sorry I'm laughing.

[SPEAKER_02]: Gary instead of being on screen right now, there's a green screen image up.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I know this, it's an older black couple.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is from some kind of ad that I see on TV.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's either a medical, oh,

[SPEAKER_03]: It's Prevision.

[SPEAKER_03]: Gary Stein where are you?

[SPEAKER_03]: Is this the Prevision commercial?

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I thought it might be, but actually, you know what it really is.

[SPEAKER_07]: What is it?

[SPEAKER_07]: Um, it's a real example.

[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I actually was in your house yesterday.

[SPEAKER_07]: This is you and Rhonda.

[SPEAKER_07]: Now, my camera did not, it didn't capture you the way it should have.

[SPEAKER_07]: But this is Rhonda.

[SPEAKER_07]: And and I'm so impressed with her because you're not feeling well your voice.

[SPEAKER_07]: I see Tony Yee of weak voice You got some laryngeitis, but I know that Ronda is always like Florence night and gal when you're sick and there she is thrilled That you are feeling better not you're not 100% but you're you're definitely better and then I shot this right afterwards Obviously it's still you and it's a kingdom over there.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I think some warm water.

[SPEAKER_07]: I guess you shaved.

[SPEAKER_07]: You must have shaved.

[SPEAKER_06]: We don't even go without the beard.

[SPEAKER_07]: And you're feeling better.

[SPEAKER_07]: It looks like there's a video screen on and I just want to say that I think that Ronda just doesn't amazing job when you're not 100% especially in the old good morning America days.

[SPEAKER_07]: Boy, did she take care of your health?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you were on the road.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he did.

[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Gary.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's very funny.

[SPEAKER_02]: And let me tell you this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I went to urgent care yesterday because of I have a a case of larynxitis.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is the best I've sounded at four days folks.

[SPEAKER_02]: She went to urgent care with me because she said I will do the talking so that you don't have to talk.

[SPEAKER_02]: And so that was very nice.

[SPEAKER_02]: We went and we were in the waiting area and I said, you know what, I can talk, you don't have to talk.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I went in.

[SPEAKER_02]: She didn't come into the glam room with me, but then I ended up being there for over an hour and I felt so bad It's like we're on just just waiting for me out there I should have given her the keys to the car.

[SPEAKER_07]: She could have gone somewhere or something Well, but then she would have left for a good I think it was good idea that you were there together that she stayed with you Listen, you know what you do take care of each other just like you know Sarah and I and and and maybe Rob's wife I don't know

[SPEAKER_07]: But listen, we were on the road a bunch of times when one of us wasn't feeling well, you know, so you would, yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: You that reminds me of a story. [SPEAKER_02]: Let's write this down. [SPEAKER_02]: We're not going to do it today. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: We have so many stories. [SPEAKER_02]: Millions. [SPEAKER_02]: On our days working together memories. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Let's don a future episode talk about the time where we were covering a hurricane. [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember which one. [SPEAKER_02]: And we both suffered injuries to our eye. [SPEAKER_02]: New spurn, new, spurn, uh, beach. [SPEAKER_07]: And I, I had a corneal abrasion and you were very upset that I got hurt and then the next day, you got one. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, we, I maybe I ruined the story a little bit. [SPEAKER_02]: But it was, uh, but there were funny things about the trip. [SPEAKER_02]: There were, it was a great trip. [SPEAKER_02]: It was a great trip with a crazy trip. [SPEAKER_02]: and the the abrasions. [SPEAKER_02]: And there's a lot. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so we'll do that in the future. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, let me here's one little tease. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: I think when you got injured and you, you know, yet this big thing on your eye, is that the first time you ever saw me cry? [SPEAKER_02]: Because I was very upset. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh, you know what? [SPEAKER_07]: I wasn't going to say that right now because I figured I'd wait for the story to be told. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I was in, we were staying in a place that had no electricity. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: why don't tell the whole thing okay well you saw that i looked like a jewish pirate because i had a black patch over one eye and you looked at me and you started to cry and that is the first time i saw you cry i just when i rejected you a couple of times after that in the in years after that you cried again but that was a different situation [SPEAKER_07]: not related to this. [SPEAKER_07]: It was just you had never really been so severely rejected. [SPEAKER_07]: I think. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we, you know, we have to really, we're, we're, we're dancing around this story, but we shall really tell another time. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a pretty cool story. [SPEAKER_07]: That wasn't schedule for today. [SPEAKER_07]: But I hope you're feeling better. [SPEAKER_07]: You seem to be feeling better than over the weekend. [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, yeah, and I'm getting over it I had a steroid Sprayed into my mouth yesterday, so that's helping and I've just been resting my voice I'm gonna take a quick sip of water. [SPEAKER_07]: Sure. [SPEAKER_07]: Did the steroid have anything to do with not feeling well? [SPEAKER_02]: No, I just thought I'd been working out today and wanted to have some extra food. [SPEAKER_02]: How has it given you an incredible appetite? [SPEAKER_02]: It was just one spray. [SPEAKER_02]: It was nasty. [SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you. [SPEAKER_06]: No, it is nasty. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and the woman said, so the first PA physicians assistant said, I'm glad you switched from PA to the woman. [SPEAKER_06]: From the woman. [SPEAKER_06]: I talked to the woman. [SPEAKER_02]: It was quick at it, I think, you're off. [SPEAKER_02]: The first physician's assistant said, so, and so, I was going to come in and spray you in the back of your throat with a steroid. [SPEAKER_02]: I just thought, okay, I've had that before, that's great. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the second PA came in, and it was like a needle, and she just kind of, yeah, I mean, she, it was like a syringe, and she just kind of jettisoned the fluid. [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a spray, [SPEAKER_02]: into my mouth, mostly on my tongue. [SPEAKER_02]: And it was, oh, that's bad. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, she didn't tie a tourniquet around your arm first before the injection. [SPEAKER_07]: No, she didn't know. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so that's good. [SPEAKER_07]: That's good. [SPEAKER_07]: But you know, you know what I'm noticing with you, though, which is, you know, the benefit is that it seems to me that once they sprayed the steroid up your nose, [SPEAKER_07]: your your muscles have grown well your your arms look bigger today i'm gonna get this every day then i think you should yeah i think i don't want to see your throat but i think that the muscles are improving i think it has some ill effects uh on one doesn't it on a man steroids too many [SPEAKER_07]: you mean in in in the Nether regions are talking about yeah trying to keep a polite you know and i i never do a good job with that i think long term perhaps yeah and i i think there's a shrinkage of uh the man parts down there the uh not all of them but this side's what's happening net happening naturally [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, no, I'm not a young man anymore. [SPEAKER_07]: We don't want to talk about that. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. [SPEAKER_07]: No problem here, pal. [SPEAKER_02]: All right, we do have a show for you today. [SPEAKER_02]: A couple of things I want to. [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to keep it. [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to keep this part of it a little short because I do have to rest my voice. [SPEAKER_02]: I did not go to work at NBC for today. [SPEAKER_02]: I do hope to go tomorrow, so I'm trying. [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you very much. [SPEAKER_07]: So were we cutting your area that you were going to do with the beginning of the show? [SPEAKER_02]: Do that in another episode. [SPEAKER_07]: You loved that opera. [SPEAKER_07]: And I did. [SPEAKER_02]: I did. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: What's your mind to be? [SPEAKER_02]: Why? [SPEAKER_02]: Did you watch the Tony Awards? [SPEAKER_02]: I did. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that another time too. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about it today. [SPEAKER_02]: But...

[SPEAKER_07]: No shredamus we had no stradomas on at the very very beginning of the old series. [SPEAKER_02]: I would love to have you know what maybe maybe if we kiss up to him [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we could get Michael Mera, who is very funny with impressions and characters and all that kind of stuff. [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we could get him to come on the show some day and do Nostradamus. [SPEAKER_02]: That's not an impression because none of us know what he sounded like. [SPEAKER_07]: That's the beauty of it. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I do clear Patrick. [SPEAKER_07]: And I listen, I listen to official tapes of what her real voice sounded like, but because it was a long time ago, they were on a track. [SPEAKER_03]: But we could do, I would love to do an astronomer's bit. [SPEAKER_07]: If there's any kissing up to Michael Mira, you're the one doing the thing because I don't you realize we he we were produced by him You are an old friend. [SPEAKER_07]: We spent years doing the old podcast. [SPEAKER_07]: I still have never met Mike. [SPEAKER_07]: Is that true? [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, it's true You never met a person.

[SPEAKER_06]: Mike's tradomas. [SPEAKER_06]: That Mike's tradomas. [SPEAKER_02]: I like that. [SPEAKER_02]: We might have occasion to make that happen sooner rather than later so. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
