Speaker 1: the pledge of allegiance. Okay, so what have you been
Speaker 1: listening to? What have you been watching? Let's see lately
Speaker 1: I've been listening. I've been listening a lot to the Doors.
Speaker 1: I'm a big doors guy. In fact, there's a great,
Speaker 1: great cover band that I've seen here many a time
Speaker 1: called the Doors spelled with a Z. And I remember
Speaker 1: when I first sat on the marquet as I go,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, all right, I've been listening a
Speaker 1: lot to The Only thing is who's the who's the keyboardist?
Speaker 1: Raymond's Eric? I believe? Is that? Is that correct? Raymond's
Speaker 1: Eric Riders on the Storm, Riders of the Storm, Riders
Speaker 1: on the Storm. Yes, that little organ solo though it
Speaker 1: goes on way too long. What does it sound like?
Speaker 1: And it's a little rambly. I think he loses the thread.
Speaker 1: It's something like that, and uh, it just drifts and
Speaker 1: it drifts, and I'm just surprised the guys didn't go,
Speaker 1: let's just cut it down. But you know, they were all,
Speaker 1: you know, let's give him a shot taking blueberries and
Speaker 1: you know, little little black beauties and ludes, a lot
Speaker 1: of ludes, and they probably like, we're good. Keep the
Speaker 1: thing though, that I'm really been spending a lot of
Speaker 1: time watching is Temptation Island. Is that like Love Island?
Speaker 1: It's like, well it wait, what is Love Island? I
Speaker 1: described Temptation first. Temptation Island are a bunch of couples
Speaker 1: who go on a beautiful island and they see if
Speaker 1: it's a test for their relationship. And it's hosted by
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg. And I remember watching it, and I know
Speaker 1: someone very closely who's done a number of movies with
Speaker 1: Mark Mark Walburg. It's not the same Mark Wahlberg. It's
Speaker 1: just a guy named Mark. It's a guy named Mark Wallberg,
Speaker 1: a nondescript guy with dyed hair and no muscles named
Speaker 1: Mark Walburg, and he hosts Temptation Island and the couples
Speaker 1: come on and they, you know, they say, oh, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to go on this journey. Let's see if
Speaker 1: our love last. And then another element comes in, either
Speaker 1: a hot guy or girl, and some of them break up,
Speaker 1: some of them don't. Uh. I know that, and that's
Speaker 1: that's the base a game plan. I know that if
Speaker 1: I was on Temptation and and be like, look, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest, I'm leaving you in a second. You
Speaker 1: like temptation, Temptation, it's over, It's there's been no tempting.
Speaker 1: I mean they'll be there will be no wait. So
Speaker 1: much temptation, so much temptation that you're a goner. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but love, I believe. I believe Love Island. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: an American version and a British version. Love Island is
Speaker 1: very similar to Believe, right. Yeah, the people go on
Speaker 1: an islands, more people come in, and you just stay
Speaker 1: coupled up to stay on shore. The big difference though,
Speaker 1: is it's British and they talk like this they do.
Speaker 1: They talk like, you know. The key to a British
Speaker 1: excit's just to keep your mount out, take the mountain out,
Speaker 1: and don't don't a nuncy. Okay that I know the
Speaker 1: pig gay blind does. Yes, Yes, that was kind of good.
Speaker 1: That's really good. Yes, let's sear it you Carolina, though
Speaker 1: you're very good at accents. I'm yeah, I guess I
Speaker 1: have the acting bug. Do you do you have a
Speaker 1: New York accent? Um? Yeah, I mean I studied a
Speaker 1: little bit, so I guess New York has talked like this. Yeah.

Speaker 1: five or six train four six. Are you guys familiar
Speaker 1: with the four or five or six? It's on the
Speaker 1: east side this side. Okay, that's that's really authentic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I should go into act whatever voice acting? Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: why did you change it to voice acting? Because I
Speaker 1: said acting, I changed it to voice act ding and
Speaker 1: I I don't think this. Well, this isn't the time
Speaker 1: or places to why to explain to you as to
Speaker 1: why I changed it the voice acting. It's for your benefit.
Speaker 1: You're a perfectly fine looking person. It's worse it's making
Speaker 1: it worse. Look, if I was sitting next to you
Speaker 1: on the four or five or six train, would I
Speaker 1: turn my head? Possibly not, you said, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I notice you, if you spoke with a
Speaker 1: British accent um? Are your apples? Well? Hello? Nice to Okay?

Speaker 1: deal on the time share. There's Damien, there's Fat, there's
Speaker 1: Leonard Dudley, there's Dudley, Connie Yes, and Samantha. Yes. That's
Speaker 1: all of them, and in a lot of ways it
Speaker 1: is like a Brady's bunch, you know. Oh, we're half
Speaker 1: of them from a different family originally the story and uh,
Speaker 1: we just lived all together in harmony. That's the way.
Speaker 1: There's no other way. I've tried to live outside of harmony,
Speaker 1: and it's not as advantageous. It's better to live in harmony.
Speaker 1: It's all about family. It really is all about family.
Speaker 1: If there's one thing you take with you tonight, it's
Speaker 1: all about family. Bloi. You had a band in college,
Speaker 1: did a little research called Moby Trick? I did? I
Speaker 1: had Moby mob Trick? Did you? Did you guys make
Speaker 1: it at all? I'm forgetting. No, we were not good.
Speaker 1: It was before I really found my my voice, you know.
Speaker 1: And uh we we we were big fans of Cheap
Speaker 1: Trick and uh the drum solo from led Zeppelin Moby
Speaker 1: Dick and so you know, it's a really good But
Speaker 1: now it was just you and five guys on base, right,
Speaker 1: there's no there instance, that's right, great one of your
Speaker 1: shows and you got your with your catchers, like let's
Speaker 1: get into the belly of the whale. Yeah. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just a lot of base exciting at first. It's
Speaker 1: a little Raymond z Eric time, We're like wrap it
Speaker 1: up here it goes, yes, and that you could feel
Speaker 1: the vibrations deep down below. But yeah, it didn't really
Speaker 1: capture the imagination. And I don't blame the audience for
Speaker 1: hating our deaths because we were pretty bad. But we
Speaker 1: had fun and that's all that really mattered. Beck and
Speaker 1: ye yeah, live and learn, right, And then you tried
Speaker 1: your head in Broadway. I did. I did. I wrote
Speaker 1: a play, uh called Leonard and what the hell was that?
Speaker 1: Called Leonard's Whispers and it was about a kid named
Speaker 1: Leonard who heard voices and it was very dark music
Speaker 1: all about about you know, the inner workings of this
Speaker 1: child's mind. If you ever get a chance to see
Speaker 1: a revival of Leonard's Whispers. But I gotta say run it,
Speaker 1: don't walk. It is a tough, tough world. It is
Speaker 1: a tough world Broadway. It is so competitive. There are
Speaker 1: so many well, there's so many people chasing a dream. Backbiters,
Speaker 1: backbit give us more. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it came down it's gonna beat Leonard's Whispers or Cats.
Speaker 1: And we didn't, you know, it was like who you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know the right But that's what's his name?
Speaker 1: From Cats? Who's that guy? Lendrew Lloyd Webber? Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: he just knew how to play the game. Well he
Speaker 1: he didn't. Everyone knew he. It wasn't about his talent
Speaker 1: because he didn't have any how to play the game, politics, politics,
Speaker 1: how to work that did he? Ever? So anyway, I
Speaker 1: left Broadway in shame and tatters and I spent my
Speaker 1: unless you gave it a shot, I did, And you
Speaker 1: know what, I was proud of the work and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't change a thing about it, you know, I was
Speaker 1: so I loved it with all my heart because it
Speaker 1: was my baby, and I learned so much from the failure.
Speaker 1: It was like, whoa and I you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I believe and I'm starting to steal your thunder the
Speaker 1: young boy at that time who original cast a young
Speaker 1: Matthew Broderick. Yes, and you know it's it hurts when
Speaker 1: I see he in his bio. He doesn't even mention it.
Speaker 1: He leaves it off all the time. And I did.
Speaker 1: I left the message when I was like, I came
Speaker 1: to see you in the one of them plays and
Speaker 1: I saw in the bio you didn't meagine Leonards this bird.
Speaker 1: I would I would never write my own bio and
Speaker 1: not mentioning Leonards whispers, and I just like, you know
Speaker 1: what it hurt. But I didn't. You know, he didn't.
Speaker 1: He never. I don't even know if that was really
Speaker 1: his phone number he gave me. You might have been
Speaker 1: talking to someone else, but uh, I like to think
Speaker 1: that he took a little piece of magic from that
Speaker 1: production and took that straight into the rest of his career.
Speaker 1: But I don't really know. I haven't talked to him.
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to himself as a friend. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: I run into broad Wreck, yeah, I'm gonna bring it up. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you. This whole thing is taking a very dark turn.
Speaker 1: I'm on a bad wheel. We talked about my band
Speaker 1: that nobody liked, cheap Trick, movie trick. We talk about
Speaker 1: my Broadway failures. Go to the next question. Hopefully it'll
Speaker 1: be something good about this is very painful. It's the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I gonna trip down. She did never relate.
Speaker 1: I did not mean it to go that way, because
Speaker 1: you're one of my dear friends. And I I really
Speaker 1: brought it up because I loved Leonards Whispers. And uh
Speaker 1: so after that, you traveled for a while. I know
Speaker 1: that had traveled up and down the Eastern Seaboard. I
Speaker 1: did spend a lot of time down in the Bayou,
Speaker 1: some town up in some time up in Motown. I
Speaker 1: went to the far East. To the far East is
Speaker 1: what you lived in a tree extensively for a long time.
Speaker 1: I lived in there, and it said, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Don't do it, Lenny, what are you doing? And I said, Lanny,
Speaker 1: it's not Lenny. And then and then and then they
Speaker 1: let me be in that tree. And it was like
Speaker 1: a treehouse that I built myself. And I lived up
Speaker 1: there for a good long time, and I learned a
Speaker 1: lot of things up there. It was just you by yourself, right.
Speaker 1: It was a long time of contemplation and just sort
Speaker 1: of getting back to the roots, you know. And this
Speaker 1: wasn't like a big sequoia or redwood, I recall, it
Speaker 1: was only like a ten ft eucalyptus. That's right. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't about the height, That's what it was. Sparsely,
Speaker 1: the very sparse coverage of leaves just right. You had
Speaker 1: ram shackled some plot piece of supply wood, made a
Speaker 1: very rickety not to code platform with an air mattress
Speaker 1: about ten feet off the ground that a dish didn't
Speaker 1: sunk to literally six ft off the ground. I wanted
Speaker 1: to be closer to the roots, you know. And then
Speaker 1: you woke up in the middle of the night and
Speaker 1: the tree was on fire, and that you told me
Speaker 1: that was a sign down from the tree. It was
Speaker 1: time to come down from the tree, and spread had
Speaker 1: the gospel of my learnings. And so you banged around
Speaker 1: some more. You taught high school soccer, uh you were.
Speaker 1: You taught high school soccer at that time. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of people doing that. And then you started
Speaker 1: a little company called Intel. Yeah, yep, I made a
Speaker 1: lot of money on Intel. Uh I went with a
Speaker 1: different name because I didn't want to you know, all
Speaker 1: that credit, but I did. I came up with that
Speaker 1: idea and uh, I surprised if that's what I thought
Speaker 1: about when I was up in that tree, Like what
Speaker 1: what what would it be like to create a new
Speaker 1: company called Intel. I know everything about that company, and
Speaker 1: it's short for Intelligence. What I remember is what you
Speaker 1: told I don't you told me, and I do. I
Speaker 1: don't do you justice, but you said, you said, Ron,
Speaker 1: I want to start a company called Intel. I don't
Speaker 1: care what the hell they do, who I hire. But
Speaker 1: I just got a feeling in my gut as as
Speaker 1: true as the sun rising on Easter Sunday, that this
Speaker 1: thing is gonna take off. And you stuck to your guns,
Speaker 1: and Intel became a major company that does things right.
Speaker 1: That's right with computer chips. That's what you do right,
Speaker 1: that's right, computer chips. Yes, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1: What it is when you get downtown to the micro
Speaker 1: process nuts and bolt, it's really just about getting real small.
Speaker 1: Because you remember back in the seventies, fill up the
Speaker 1: sun side of the stage and and bubble bubble cards.
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, enough with this, let's bring
Speaker 1: it down any I don't want to talk about that anymore.
Speaker 1: Let's get off that subject, and let's get onto the
Speaker 1: subject of why you're here. And then you find yourself
Speaker 1: in the jingle game. And and I assume a talent
Speaker 1: agent found you a true calling. Yes, that was. That
Speaker 1: was I just realized, you know, when we're talking about
Speaker 1: Intel getting things small, you can tell the whole story
Speaker 1: in four or five seconds. Why not do that? And
Speaker 1: you deliver deliver that magical musical punch, you know, litt
Speaker 1: quitt rabbit fund and And and when I when I
Speaker 1: heard them on the radio and on the TV, other
Speaker 1: people's jingles, I just said, oh god, I wish I
Speaker 1: could do that. And then I look at the mirror,
Speaker 1: and I said, why can't you, Why don't you just
Speaker 1: do it? Just do it. You want to make a jingle,
Speaker 1: make a jingle. Hell, you lived in a tree for
Speaker 1: a year and a half. Just do it, right, that's right.
Speaker 1: And the weird thing was, I'd been making jingles my
Speaker 1: whole life leading up and you didn't even know it,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know. So it was as though I
Speaker 1: had been preparing my whole life to become this jingle man,
Speaker 1: and you finally found your calling. And I believe the
Speaker 1: first jingle you ever recorded was for an airline, Princeton
Speaker 1: Air and U do you recall? Could you sing? You
Speaker 1: want me to do? I'd love to hear sorry, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear Princeton understand as an airline in
Speaker 1: the seventies, Come sail the skies and Princeton Air we
Speaker 1: lived to servant. Take you there there to dream. The
Speaker 1: world is yours. We opper upper world, Well up yours.
Speaker 1: We can buy you anywhere within the Antelope Valley. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I knew nothing about Antelope Air. Princes are I'm sorry, prince?
Speaker 1: And then I heard the jingle. I'm like, I gotta
Speaker 1: check this out. And I used to fly it all
Speaker 1: the time, up and down, up and down. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: You never needed to drive around the Antelope Valley again
Speaker 1: because you just take a quicker show, quick down. A
Speaker 1: lot of times the planes never left the ground. They
Speaker 1: just used the freeway. It was just runaway. But it's
Speaker 1: it felt like you're going somewhere. You know. I could
Speaker 1: never finished my you because by the time they put
Speaker 1: it in front of you. It was like, oh, we're landing.
Speaker 1: But there were times when you really made fast time
Speaker 1: during rush hour traffic. Absolutely and you and if you
Speaker 1: didn't take an a little bear, you'd be driving to
Speaker 1: be stuck in that prison. He stuck in that a
Speaker 1: little traffic. And I wish I was on that right now.
Speaker 1: Because they flew super low. For minute flight, you can
Speaker 1: only get about about seven ft off the ground. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'd buzz right over you. Fun pilots, pilots who had
Speaker 1: never flown before. And that was that. They were just like,
Speaker 1: here we go, let's see what happens. Oh and that
Speaker 1: that there, remember that? Remember that the potato the potato chip.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, chippitty chip. Give us a little chipp ety chip.
Speaker 1: The chippy his chimp for eddie tip, his chippity chip.
Speaker 1: You're gonna flip when the chippity chip gets past your lip.
Speaker 1: It's a hip chip. You can nap a skip the
Speaker 1: chippy chip. It's a total group chip. Who walk or
Speaker 1: run or take a rocket chip? You're not back up?
Speaker 1: Chip about it? Chips now, chipp any chip? Uh. That
Speaker 1: product didn't last very long, no, because they found chipped
Speaker 1: baby teeth in the bag chippy chip that ruined it.
Speaker 1: That that kind of ruined its pineapple, salsa, pineapple saucer, lemonade, barbecue,
Speaker 1: so many flavors. Yep, asparagus and cream that was. That
Speaker 1: was my favorite asparagus and cream chip flavored chip. And
Speaker 1: you know the thing was it wasn't the song was
Speaker 1: was not the problem, not at all. It was the
Speaker 1: baby teeth that sends that company down. But you know what,
Speaker 1: that's not of my concern. You just hired me to
Speaker 1: make sure there's no baby. You're hired me to sing it.
Speaker 1: You're not in charge of Oh my god, do you
Speaker 1: remember that one I did for? Uh? Can I just
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sing this next one? Okay? Oh and
Speaker 1: let me see if I can remember what and see
Speaker 1: if you can remember what the product is. Oh, this one?
Speaker 1: I did this one in England. This was English. Yea.
Speaker 1: This one was for an English product as a sad
Speaker 1: and something in the air. You can feel it when
Speaker 1: you rise. It's a brand new start with every day
Speaker 1: from the moment you open your eyes wake up feeling
Speaker 1: shoundly free with a cop of James Tolliver in English tea.
Speaker 1: James Tolliver English say that then that tea had arsenic
Speaker 1: in it. That's right. Yes, I don't think I helped
Speaker 1: the product. I don't think I helped sales. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say that it was because the English accent wasn't really
Speaker 1: in my wheelhouse. I'm surprised you didn't push back and say,
Speaker 1: can I just give you one and with you know,
Speaker 1: the regular Lanny pipes. I'm a pleaser. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to give him what I thought they wanted. And uh, anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: that tea company went under fast. Arsenic and one of
Speaker 1: the worst jingles of all times. I don't even know
Speaker 1: why I volunteered to sing that one. To be honest
Speaker 1: with you, Well, you're you know, at that time, you're
Speaker 1: in your career, you're building a reputation. Just I'm sure
Speaker 1: you just get the call and like it's a fun
Speaker 1: trip to jolly old England, free trip to go to
Speaker 1: exactly I wanted to. I wanted to walk the River Thames.
Speaker 1: I wanted to experience England and all its gold glory.
Speaker 1: And I think they pronounced it the famous the things,
Speaker 1: the things, river things. I'll go punching all the time
Speaker 1: now that all the time. Do you know that time.
Speaker 1: Now we're in the sweet spot. Wow, that's really good.
Speaker 1: Um can I can I do like three or four
Speaker 1: of seven more and then I'll be on my way. Yes,
Speaker 1: this one is from one called jam Or. Its amalgamated
Speaker 1: good fixtures, a very popular product in this world. There's
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot of choices you can make.
Speaker 1: It's up to you and your clients that you don't
Speaker 1: make a stay. A bad decision can ruin your company
Speaker 1: and you can't lose your shirt. It's the same old
Speaker 1: story when a businessman ends up in the dirt jabber.
Speaker 1: It's a Maga Maga daughter fixers and mountain mount Yes, well,
Speaker 1: thank you. Now I still have stock in generates. It's
Speaker 1: a steady, steady, steady as you go, slow and steady
Speaker 1: and one hell of a one hell of a jingle.
Speaker 1: That jingle was taped. As as I went on in
Speaker 1: my career of jingles, I found myself reaching deeper into
Speaker 1: the nook and crannies of the of the subtleties of
Speaker 1: the jingle, and they just got better in bed right.
Speaker 1: If I recall, you did thousands of radio spots too.
Speaker 1: I did a lot of radio spots. Oh yeah, yeahm um,
Speaker 1: remember KRUC k R O k R O C K
Speaker 1: and Davenport yep, k Rock Davenport. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I remember. I remember k Rock Davenport. Quad
Speaker 1: said he's turned it up. I turned it up because
Speaker 1: the rock is alive. K Rock Davenport for y'all more
Speaker 1: didn't drive WSLB. Yeah yeah, you keep on going to
Speaker 1: the next you. My memory works, your memory. I I
Speaker 1: do the same way. I do the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: I'm getting hot. Is anyone else getting hot? Well? You
Speaker 1: got your leather friends jacket on. Um. Yeah, So they
Speaker 1: would they and they would play that. It's not really
Speaker 1: like a tight radio spot. I mean it's a good
Speaker 1: twelve seconds. Look. I started to get really long in
Speaker 1: my jingles. Yeah, and in fact, they started to become
Speaker 1: like full on songs. But you had leverage at that point,
Speaker 1: and you were like, if you want me, you gotta
Speaker 1: give me the full you gotta let me give a
Speaker 1: whole beginning, middle of an end. I gotta tell a
Speaker 1: story with these jingles. And I'm feeling constrained by the tightness,
Speaker 1: so so so so check out this next one I did.
Speaker 1: This one was for an adult contemporary wus be adult contemporary,
Speaker 1: mellow as the morning. Do we play the music that's
Speaker 1: all right for you? From Holland Notes to Selene Beyond,
Speaker 1: turn us into get your groove on ws LB adult contemporary.
Speaker 1: You know, right now, I'm realizing that I should have
Speaker 1: sung that jingle more as an adult contemporary style because
Speaker 1: it sounded more classic rock when I was it did,
Speaker 1: but I think that's why it was so effective, because
Speaker 1: people were, you know, thinking they, oh, this is contemporary,
Speaker 1: but I love the tone and the tenor of this
Speaker 1: guy's voice. Well, and I wonder if they play more
Speaker 1: than just adult contemporary. Yeah, I think it made it.
Speaker 1: I think it made the station intriguing. It did it did?
Speaker 1: I'm just saying things right now. You know, I always
Speaker 1: thought jingles were my main thing, but now I'm realizing,
Speaker 1: ron I'm very bad at it. Don't say that. Don't
Speaker 1: say that I'm one of the worst jinglers ever. No no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. My whole life has been a sham. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let's pull this so okay. D Lanny Kn't Cool smooth

Speaker 1: five dollars in scott I only buy fifteen scotch. Carolina
Speaker 1: I'd like to, of course, in tonight with something I
Speaker 1: like to call my take. It's my thing. Yes, you
Speaker 1: can go, it's my take. Yes, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: This week marked the beginning of Senate confirmation hearings of
Speaker 1: Judge Katangi Brown Jackson, and while the questioning will be rigorous,
Speaker 1: it is believed that there will be enough votes for confirmation,
Speaker 1: thus naming her as our first black female Supreme Court justice. Now,
Speaker 1: this country can be a little three steps forward and
Speaker 1: two steps back at times, but this would be a
Speaker 1: groundbreaking achievement. And isn't that what America needs to do again?
Speaker 1: Lead the world by example, empowering not just women, but
Speaker 1: all marginalized people. In the famous words of Alexander Hamilton's
Speaker 1: our first black politician, my name is Alexander Hamilton's there's
Speaker 1: a man million things I haven't done. Just you wait,
Speaker 1: just you wait. Well, the way it is over, Alexander
Speaker 1: Hamilton's disappointment would mean so much for me, and not
Speaker 1: because I'm black. I'm not black. Even though I've been
Speaker 1: asked to host the Soul Train Awards seventeen times. Don
Speaker 1: Cornelius and I were roommates at the University of ioland
Speaker 1: I was flattered, but it never felt appropriate. Disappointment resonates
Speaker 1: with me because I've always dreamed of being a Supreme
Speaker 1: Court justice. In fact, I've gone through the confirmation process
Speaker 1: twenty two times now. It's not in the big room
Speaker 1: with all the TV cameras. It's it's usually in a
Speaker 1: side room behind closed doors, and only a handful of
Speaker 1: senators show up. Last time, it was only Diane Feinstein,
Speaker 1: and she said said, oh it's you again. We laughed
Speaker 1: and talked. I happened to have brought a bottle of
Speaker 1: rose with me, She said playfully. I can't, but what
Speaker 1: the hell You're never getting confirmed anyway? We laughed again.
Speaker 1: I suddenly turned away to wipe a tear off my
Speaker 1: cheek because that wasn't stunk. I had brought a chuck
Speaker 1: MANGIONI c D and asked her if there was a
Speaker 1: sound system that we could play this on. She said,
Speaker 1: give me a sec and left. I waited for what
Speaker 1: felt like twenty minutes, and then I heard the senator
Speaker 1: returned in a slight revealing evening gown, took my hand
Speaker 1: and we started to dance. You're out of order, she said, okay,
Speaker 1: I said, I object if you don't try and kiss me.
Speaker 1: She said, okay, I said, I will hold you in
Speaker 1: contempt if you don't make a move. She then said Finally,
Speaker 1: I stopped dancing, and I asked, what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? Is this an episode of law and order?
Speaker 1: I don't follow. The senator said she was making anu
Speaker 1: indo with court references. Oh right, I bluffed, pretending like
Speaker 1: I knew what innuendo meant. I didn't. I now know
Speaker 1: that innuendo is a form of Brazilian music. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: song ended and we realized it was two am. We'd
Speaker 1: been there for fourteen hours, but it only it only
Speaker 1: felt like twelve. I'm not going to talk about what
Speaker 1: happened between us. Gentlemen never kiss and tell. Suffice to say,
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein's no prude. It takes a fairly adventurous woman
Speaker 1: to teach ron Burgundy a thing or two about love making,
Speaker 1: and that night I was the student. Anyway. She gathered
Speaker 1: her various briefcases and overhead projector, turned and headed for
Speaker 1: the door, but then stopped and said, this time I
Speaker 1: would have voted for you, Mr Burgundy. I had my
Speaker 1: back to her, bursting with pride. And I screamed, may
Speaker 1: I approached the bench, But just like that, she was going.
Speaker 1: That's as close as I ever got to be in
Speaker 1: considered for the highest court in the land. But who
Speaker 1: am I kidding? I never went to law school, even
Speaker 1: though I read law books for pleasure and for the
Speaker 1: honorable Judge Jackson. If you happen to be listening to this,
Speaker 1: you probably are. Just know that, no matter how frustrating
Speaker 1: the vetting process, maybe it's there for a reason so
Speaker 1: assholes can score political points in front of a room
Speaker 1: full of assholes. I'm Ron Burgundy and that's my take.
Speaker 1: Fuck us so funny. We tried us like a plank
Speaker 1: to younger feel so we never get come back. He
Speaker 1: took a couple up while I was standing. He says
Speaker 1: it every night stand, which because everybody knows he's the
