[SPEAKER_03]: We're all in trapping today. [SPEAKER_03]: Remember, I don't know enough about the technology of radio as Robin and Tony. [SPEAKER_03]: So if I make a faux pas, it's that I just don't have the experience. [SPEAKER_07]: But so for our listeners, let me just tell them. [SPEAKER_07]: You'll just take in a strip of strapping tape as I was called wrong packing tape and you've wrapped it around your neck. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, now. [SPEAKER_07]: that actually looks better. [SPEAKER_07]: It does, but I can't breathe. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, you got to do what you got to do to do the show. [SPEAKER_03]: All right, you're suggesting sacrifice, right? [SPEAKER_07]: And it will be a sacrifice. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, all right. [SPEAKER_03]: No, wait, I'm warning everybody that I'm taking it off. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I don't know if we will have... No, wait a minute. [SPEAKER_07]: So this could be... [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, you could be injured here when you do this. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, so. [UNKNOWN]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: So let's see if any skin comes off when you do it. [SPEAKER_03]: If if I get injured, am I able to sue Rob since he's our producer? [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I can't deal with that. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a workman's comp Rob. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know what 15% of nothing is? [SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's always the first. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I'm gonna make some noise. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, let's see. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not gas or anything, okay? [SPEAKER_03]: See what happens. [SPEAKER_07]: Is it bad that I'm secretly helping a little skin comes off? [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's really, it's really, I'm just hoping for a clean flow shave. [SPEAKER_02]: All right. [SPEAKER_02]: All right. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, did that hurt? [SPEAKER_03]: No, are you just a poignant? [SPEAKER_03]: No, I think you can do it again. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that is funny. [SPEAKER_07]: That is funny. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know what, that I wonder if people have have done that because they have saving does really. [SPEAKER_03]: The taxes have taped up their eyes and then had make up cover, but now they just have surgery. [SPEAKER_07]: 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_02]: Yeah, the civil shepherd effect for moonlighting. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, yes. [SPEAKER_02]: But also a few years ago, obviously before he passed P. We Herman Paul Rubens today, [SPEAKER_02]: Christmas special, I think, for Netflix. [SPEAKER_02]: It's still up there. [SPEAKER_02]: 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 because he had gotten older and I think Pee was a little heavy and he was trying to recreate the look. [SPEAKER_02]: So, Gary, you're in fine company. [SPEAKER_03]: That's great. [SPEAKER_03]: So, Pee Lee Herman was now, he wasn't Pee Lee anymore. [SPEAKER_03]: He was fatty Herman. [SPEAKER_07]: And then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he hurman, and then he [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. [SPEAKER_03]: It's I don't see it at all. [SPEAKER_03]: I see it 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 water was that what they call it. [SPEAKER_07]: Um, that's not happening to me, but the filling out here, uh, along my, uh, you know, under my chin that is happening. [SPEAKER_07]: Why are we pointing out our, our incons, our inaccuracy, sorry. [SPEAKER_07]: Is that age or is that dessert?
