[SPEAKER_05]: I'm Tony.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm Gary

[SPEAKER_05]: We're talking about Donnie Simpson who does the intro for the show and, you know, various other things as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now, is it pushy to ask Donnie to send something out to all of his fans about our show?

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, boy.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's not pushy, but boy.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, yeah, I can ask him to do that shortly.

[SPEAKER_05]: Can you ask now?

[SPEAKER_05]: I will ask when we're done with the show.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I listen, Donnie has already done us a favor.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, obviously we're, we're good friends.

[SPEAKER_05]: He would do anything, but I don't want to step on toes.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to ask for much too soon.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no.

[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, and maybe it's why we work together.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, all those years in television, you could born in American, everything.

[SPEAKER_05]: Because we're, you know, I'm a little more, you're pusher than I am.

[SPEAKER_05]: What a blast to that kind of thing.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, no, that's good.

[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody once called me a nudge, and I did not like that, you know, you know what I say though.

[SPEAKER_04]: I say that you're, you play it a little bit safer, but not really.

[SPEAKER_04]: I walk the line.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, you do.

[SPEAKER_04]: And if I ever go over the line, I want everybody on the show to tell me that I've all gone over the line, but I really do love walking the edge of the show.

[SPEAKER_05]: But here's the thing.

[SPEAKER_05]: And so you, for those who don't know, Gary produced me at Good Morning America, Gary produced a show on Fox TV called Breakfast Time with Tom Burzer on many years ago, which I used to watch before we met each other.

[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know that.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, you did.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: My job on breakfast time was to get him in trouble.

[SPEAKER_04]: I followed him on the set and if I saw something going on, it was improvisational.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I would say, do you want to blow off the next segment and do this?

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_05]: And so that's very good for television, podcasting radio, but it's also very good because you're not afraid when when we were doing the TV show and the first podcast, you're not afraid to call anybody.

[SPEAKER_05]: You call anybody and just say, hey, would you be on our show?

[SPEAKER_05]: Here's why, come on, you got to do it.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm a little more of a soft pedaler, which does not always work.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's you gotta be kidding me, with Tony Perkins and Gary stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not related. [SPEAKER_00]: They're just good friends. [SPEAKER_00]: And now, here's Tony and Gary. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, thank you, Donnie, some so good we're back. [SPEAKER_04]: He's back.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm a little more of a soft pedaler, which does not always work. [SPEAKER_05]: You know, so make money at that? [SPEAKER_05]: It depends on what I'm peddling it at any given time. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's soft. [SPEAKER_05]: It's soft. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, you're right. [SPEAKER_04]: You do play it a little bit safer when it comes to a guest where you don't want to bother anybody. [SPEAKER_04]: But having been a producer for so long and having people say to me, I need you to get so and so. [SPEAKER_04]: I got them. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and also all the years on Good Morning America. [SPEAKER_04]: I never made a contact I ever lost. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, see that's that's great. [SPEAKER_05]: That's great. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm much better than that than I used to be. [SPEAKER_05]: There are contacts that I made, you know, maybe two decades ago that I wish I still had, but now I save everything. [SPEAKER_05]: So it's good. [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe you taught me that. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, maybe I did and now you just have to be willing to call them. [SPEAKER_05]: Right. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes. [SPEAKER_05]: That's right. [SPEAKER_04]: That's right. [SPEAKER_05]: So, all right. [SPEAKER_05]: Guy, we could take care of all their business during the first five minutes of the show. [SPEAKER_05]: You know, it's week three and we've had three slightly different intros each episode. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: What's I kind of like? [SPEAKER_05]: You know, maybe we'll keep doing that. [SPEAKER_05]: It's fun. [SPEAKER_04]: It's a surprise for us and a surprise for the audience. [SPEAKER_05]: I love it. [SPEAKER_05]: That's right, that's right. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a bit of the audience. [SPEAKER_05]: I just say thank you all for the wonderful comments on the last episode. [SPEAKER_05]: We were thrilled with it. [SPEAKER_05]: Your reaction was very, very good. [SPEAKER_05]: It was wonderful. [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you very much for the listening, for the comments, and sharing with your friends and colleagues. [SPEAKER_04]: We expected though. [SPEAKER_04]: It's nothing short of what we expect from you. [SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, you want to watch our show and listen to our show, keep doing it. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_05]: Very good. [SPEAKER_05]: You're like a little task master today. [SPEAKER_05]: Let me ask you. [SPEAKER_05]: You've been under the weather. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes. [SPEAKER_05]: Was it a cold? [SPEAKER_05]: Because I, three days ago, we didn't know if we'd be able to do the show. [SPEAKER_05]: Gary's right. [SPEAKER_05]: Terrible. [SPEAKER_05]: You sound great today. [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_05]: And are you feeling better? [SPEAKER_04]: I am feeling better, I'm not 100%, but like everybody in my family got sick. [SPEAKER_04]: So it was really hard to get rid of it, and I've asked everybody to move out. [SPEAKER_04]: Because I, yeah, I mean, they should have asked you to move out. [SPEAKER_04]: See, see now you are being me. [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no Ben started it gave it to Billy Billy gave it to me, and I'm trying to give it to you. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, well, you didn't you didn't give me that, but I've been I've been dealing with conjunctivitis. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, so we I'm better now. [SPEAKER_05]: But I missed a couple of days of work. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a pink eye is the common term, and yeah, and that's very contagious. [SPEAKER_05]: It is very contagious, yes. [SPEAKER_04]: I've never had it because I don't get things like that. [SPEAKER_04]: But you've never had pink eye? [SPEAKER_04]: I have not. [SPEAKER_05]: No, really. [SPEAKER_04]: No. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, let me just come up there and see if I could have. [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks a lot. [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks a lot. [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks a lot. [SPEAKER_04]: Good to your eye. [SPEAKER_04]: Which one? [SPEAKER_04]: Can I sort of jump into something here? [SPEAKER_04]: I have a little bit of a nose to pick with Rob. [SPEAKER_04]: Spewer. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, do you produce her? [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Rob, can you come on camera for just a minute? [SPEAKER_04]: Not longer. [SPEAKER_04]: I, Tadah, I, I, I, I, I, I don't look, we, we spent way too much time less week on my nose. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: And I didn't want to bring it up again. [SPEAKER_04]: But I watched the show. [SPEAKER_04]: I loved the show. [SPEAKER_04]: What those two guys are amazing and the third guys, okay? [SPEAKER_04]: But so I don't know if you remember, but like on the first two shows, you kept telling me sit closer, sit closer, sit closer, the screen, right? [SPEAKER_04]: And on last week's show, my nose was almost touching the computer screen. [SPEAKER_04]: And so when I watched the show, one of the things that really got under my skin was the closer you sit to a wide angle camera. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the more spread out everything gets. [SPEAKER_04]: So my nose, it was not going to happen this week because I don't know if you noticed. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sitting back further. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, well last week my nose took up the whole screen and and I think I got bad direction I accepted it because you're the producer and so I want to do every single thing you say But I'm not doing that anymore because and I argue with science. [SPEAKER_02]: You made me look at you are the bigger it is [SPEAKER_02]: There's a matter of fact, I'm going to put something on your screen that says objects are closer than anything. [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_02]: That's great. [SPEAKER_02]: That would believe me. [SPEAKER_02]: That was never about your nose. [SPEAKER_02]: It was all about letting America and the world see your face. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: And again, and they can never see too much. [SPEAKER_04]: I know that. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, not at all. [SPEAKER_05]: But again, and I can't believe we're we're talking about this. [SPEAKER_05]: So again, again, right. [SPEAKER_05]: So I want, and you and I chat it and you didn't, you know, I love the show too. [SPEAKER_05]: I really really enjoyed it. [SPEAKER_05]: I showed it to other people and nobody mentioned your nose. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, they're not going to because I'm [SPEAKER_04]: But the reason there was a value to the nose being as large as it is and that is I don't know if you know this But you know you know that cells die every second and new cells are born sure right all of my dead cells go to my nose [SPEAKER_04]: And so, the reason why my face is, I don't want to brag, but relatively gorgeous is because only here do I have all the dead cells that die every day and they gravitate, have conversations on my nose, but look at all of this, I mean, come on, everything looks good to me. [SPEAKER_02]: And also, doesn't it help with balance? [SPEAKER_02]: have a good show. [SPEAKER_02]: That takes a lot of the way. [SPEAKER_02]: Rob, speedwack, everybody loves them. [SPEAKER_04]: That's good time. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that is funny. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_05]: Let's jump into this. [SPEAKER_05]: We like to do something called Since we last saw you. [SPEAKER_05]: And I've got one for you, Gary. [SPEAKER_05]: Since we last saw you, I want you to take a guess. [SPEAKER_05]: How many times did Americans hit their snooze bar? [SPEAKER_05]: Wake up in the morning. [SPEAKER_05]: Your alarm goes off. [SPEAKER_05]: You hit snooze and sleep another seven minutes, ten minutes, whatever. [SPEAKER_04]: So since last week, it's a one week total. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes. [SPEAKER_05]: 3.6 billion people 3.6 million to me. [SPEAKER_05]: That is a good guess. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm shocked at the actual number. [SPEAKER_04]: So in one week, wow, wow. [SPEAKER_04]: So, now do you hit the snooze button? [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I do. [SPEAKER_05]: And why? [SPEAKER_04]: I can't talk about it. [SPEAKER_04]: Risky. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, see, I have two clocks because I
