Hey, everybody, Jimmy Pardo here. Good news about Babel. They're there to teach you a new language in a fun,

0:06.3

exciting way. I almost said exotic way because I don't know how to read. But you know what?

0:11.6

You do it your way. Learn the language your way. You know what? There are some exotic languages out there.

0:16.1

How about that? What do you think about that is a spin for me not being able to read?

0:19.5

I'm learning Spanish and it's going okay. I don't blame Babel. I blame my commitment. I blame James R. Pardo Jr. I'm mixing. As you know, I'm bouncing back and forth between Spanish and French because there's a thought of us going to Greece for our vacation. So why wouldn't I learn Spanish and French? You know, I want to talk to everybody. I don't care if I'm on a gondola, I want to talk to whoever. If I'm in a, on a bus, I want to talk to anybody. And I'm able to do that courtesy of Babel. Now, here's the deal with Babel. We've teamed up with them to pull the Hagar, up to 55% off your Babbel subscription at babble.com forward slash parto.

Velcro tight on my wallet. Quince is the way to go. It's a nice pair of slacks. It looks good on me. Makes my figure looks nice. I've had, I'm not going to lie, walking down the street from my car to the studio here today, lots of cat calls and whistles. And I have to assume it's because of the quince because it hasn't happened before and my guess is it will never happen again unless i'm wearing my
