0:00.0	Yeah, the Wheel of Fortune people, they went into a room, a room, they went into a room,
0:06.9	that's for you Boston. So a whole bunch of executives, right? They went into a room and they're like,
0:12.1	well, you know, this Pat Sage Act is retiring. We need a new host. And then everybody looked around
0:18.4	the room and one guy stood up and said, you know what? So we need the most boring person in America
0:24.5	to replace Pat Sage Act. Who do you got? Everyone at the exact same time said Ryan Seacrest.
0:30.7	And then the room went, ah-ha, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah. Go get Ryan Seacrest, the
0:37.6	most boring guy in America at the host, Wheel of Fortune. Why is this guy getting gigs?
0:42.8	This guy continues to get gigs. He does nothing. I'm sure he's a lovely lady, but
0:48.4	but really he by far was one of the most overrated radio guys in the history of radio, in the history

1:44.9	My people in Hollywood telling me Vanna White's holding out for some crazy money. And I sit here,
1:49.4	I just got excited because I made $10. Ryan Seacrest does a radio show every day in LA. He gets
1:54.9	nothing interesting done whatsoever. And he's just bank. Bank is just flowing into his bank
2:00.4	accounts. And then as a side project, he's now doing Wheel of Fortune for millions. Oh,
2:06.4	God. Yes, I'm bitter. I'm mad. I'm angry. I think I'm having a midlife. Christ, a midlet. Yeah,
2:13.2	just go with it. I see Theo Vaughan being boring talking to Rosanne Bargon. You're no talk show host.
