[SPEAKER_00]: It's you gotta be kidding me, with Tony Perkins and Gary stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not related.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just good friends.

[SPEAKER_00]: And now, here's Tony and Gary.

[SPEAKER_02]: How do you know we may very well be related for we are we are we are we are related I think there were first cousins once removed and twice Toss down I don't know you know you did you know you did at the beginning of the show that I just commend you for what when Donnie started talking in the other room Yes, you started drumming and then you thought better of it because you said less week you're not good at it and you're not and I stopped

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what that that shows restraint that I've never seen in you and I think it's amazing even at this age We can still learn and that is the lesson lady to gentlemen.

[SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see you next week

[SPEAKER_02]: We can still learn until we don't know our names and then I think we're done Then you relearn your name every day I'm just gonna keep on moving because as I said before we started the show I don't like the way my eyes look and I think that if I just keep moving like I have something seriously wrong with my nervous system I will look better and I know people are writing and telling me why are you focused on the way you look?

[SPEAKER_02]: I know, they are by the thousands, thousands.

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, and it's a right, you know, writing letters.

[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks a lot.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's the problem.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's one more problem.

[SPEAKER_06]: Our listeners and viewers are still writing letters.

[SPEAKER_06]: I get telegrams from someone.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you, yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I get more code signals that you say.

[SPEAKER_02]: Could you, could you guys slow down?

[SPEAKER_07]: We can't capture the jokes.

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, good to episode nine of you got to be kidding me.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'm Tony.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am Gary for sure now.

[SPEAKER_06]: Let me let me see it.

[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like I see this at the top of every episode which which maybe at some point will discuss because you know, maybe

[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you're more insecure than you think and you know, I'm very insecure much more than I think Oh When you're talking about you because you you you look good now you did tell me before the show I'm a little tired, you know, last three days had a lot going on and so I can see that you're a little tired But you still look good.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I went to three orgies and I wasn't just a viewer and I know

[SPEAKER_02]: at this age, I should be, but I participated, and I had to rest for the last time.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, well that's that.

[SPEAKER_02]: And my eyes are telling the tale, the whole thing.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, just a little bit of a, a droop, which three days of an order, you could have a lot of drooping going on everywhere.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's true if I had a real droop, you would think I had Bill's pausing, but I don't have that yet.

[SPEAKER_06]: I know someone who has that, so I would make a joke about that.

[SPEAKER_06]: I do want to ask you a question, because again, just before we got on the air,

[SPEAKER_06]: I heard sirens in the background is everything okay where you are you all right you know what here's the good news I'm absolutely fine, but they just took Sarah out

[SPEAKER_02]: She knows that she's a second priority and that this is the most important thing She's been in the business.

[SPEAKER_06]: He's an actress.

[SPEAKER_06]: She's a singer the show must go.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh She knows what goes.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure you know what hospital they're taking or two.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know I don't know Some of my book called me.

[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you know the the door man will let me know when he finds out

[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys out for a letter, a letter hit all you words right, that's right, that's right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Rob, you might know before I do, I mean, so maybe give me a buzz when the show's over.

[SPEAKER_02]: For a minute, let me know where my wife is, you know, wait, just just talk a little bit, give me a call.

[SPEAKER_06]: You got to show today.

[SPEAKER_06]: Here's what I'm going to do.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is old trick I learned at Good Morning America.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to promote that T on today's episode.

[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to talk about an old show that Gary and I used to do when we were at ABC called stealing scenes.

[SPEAKER_06]: I promoted it.

[SPEAKER_06]: So now we're going to do it.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is the segment that we keep not getting to.

[SPEAKER_06]: So we'll see if we get to it.

[SPEAKER_06]: I think we will today.

[SPEAKER_02]: I remember on good morning America you promoted a segment you were afraid they weren't going to get to and then they had to they weren't that happy about it but we did the segment.

[SPEAKER_06]: We did do the segment and you know what now it's funny that you mentioned that because you know one of the things that you and I talk about and raw but you and I talk about and we've talked about this week and it's it's kind of personal I'm not going to get all into it but um

[SPEAKER_06]: One of the things I love about you, I love about our friendship, this is what friends do, we're supportive of each other, you during my GMA years really care of me.

[SPEAKER_06]: And by that, I mean, just watching out for me and, you know, making sure what we did was what I did was good and all that kind of stuff and, and then we got our stuff on the air.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's what we was important.
