Hello Bugle! Hello Buglers! And yes, it's the one the world has been waiting for

Bugle 73 admittedly it's only been waiting for it for a week but the point stands

with me Andy Salzman here in the

breakfast eating city of London and in the not especially windy city of New York it's the

self-styled Genghis card of comedy John Oliver.

Hello be Buglers!

And hello Andy, you may remember that last week,

I was on my way to a fitting for a GQ shoot.

Well, that shoot happened, Andy.

I don't think I've ever felt so physically and emotionally uncomfortable.

It was like experiencing an almost Zen state of awkwardness.

At one point the stylist came over to me and said,

what kind of tie knot do you want me to do on

the tie something young and fresh or a little more classic and all I can say to

him was I literally have no idea what you're talking about I don't even know how to begin to respond to that and

then during the shoot the photographer came over at one point and said what

what are you doing and I said I don't know I thought I was smiling

and she said no I don't think that's what's happening.

And she showed me the previous few shots.

And I do not know what my face was doing.

So as you progress towards becoming a certified style icon still in the foothills job.
