0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. It's Bill F. It's Wendy Snyder. It's the Bill and Wendy's show. This is episode 67. Thank you so much for tuning in. We rarely start the show with a guest, but for the second episode in a row, we are starting with a guest. And this is a guest that Wendy and I are very, very proud of. We got to know Tim Barnes several years ago. He was an assistant content producer at the radio station. We were working at a very |
0:39.3 | nice guy and just a few short years later, Tim is writing and performing on the Tonight Show with |
0:45.3 | Jimmy Fallon. It's Tim Barnes. Tim, it's great to talk to you again. Great to talk to you, too. I forgot |
0:51.0 | that my title was assistant content producer. What a vague, |
0:57.4 | I was going to comment. The most vague there could be. I was going to comment on that too, |
1:02.4 | because I know Bill did his homework, because it's just so funny, assistant content producer. |
1:08.1 | What the hell is that? Yeah, it was like, and it was just, it wasn't that |

1:55.1 | horses and watch all this stuff and smell the horse poop. |
2:00.5 | It was fun though. It was fun. And I just keep thinking, |
2:04.4 | like, what was my life? Like, what, you know, I was a video producer for a radio station going to |
2:09.8 | a Lip-a-zon. But I have to say this, do you remember who you were replaced as assistant content producer, Stephen Spielberg? |
2:20.6 | So whoever has that job goes on to pretty good things. |
2:24.5 | That's true. I need to keep that in mind. It's a part of a long lineage. |
