I got to bring my kid to an appointment.

0:04.6

Do you know you have a wife?

0:07.6

You know I have six kids?

0:09.7

You got a lot of kids.

0:10.9

I've got to go different places.

0:13.6

That's pretty, that's going to be my excuse.

0:15.5

I'm sitting at a hotel in Clearwater, Florida right now.

0:20.7

Just waiting. Romantic Clearwater? Florida right now. Just waiting.

0:21.4

Romantic Clearwater?

0:22.2

I am. I'm thinking of the conversion. I think it's time. Yeah. Full Scientologist mode. No, I'm not. I'm not. And I don't want to offend any of the Scientologists in the audience, by the way. Not doing that. I'm not. I'm just here. I'm giving a speech. I was doing a debate last night up at Dartmouth.

0:38.1

I found out.

0:39.7

Medi Hassan, how is that? I'm not. I'm just here. I'm giving a speech. I was doing a debate last night up at Dartmouth.

0:38.0

Yeah, you know, Medi Hassan, how is, how is that? I watched some segments of it, but. So it was a real delight because it was one of those debates where they actually score it at the end. You know, like it's a monk debate. Right. Yeah. I saw that. I saw that you won. Yeah. That was good. Thank you. I was really pleased to win.

0:56.2

Medi, we had a nice dinner afterward.

0:58.3

You know, it was great that I was able to vindicate the president and he, you know,

1:03.2

was not vindicated. But the thing I really love about it is I found out.

1:07.9

What did you say?

1:09.3

His beeper didn't go off?

2:01.5

I know. Someone told me to use the beeper line. I didn't. It was mostly above the belt. But the one thing I found out after is apparently Medi has written a book called How to Win Every Debate, which I now want to put on my mantle. That's true. How to Win every Everybody except to Michael Null. So anyway, it was a good time. But I missed the big debate last night, which I hope we get to in the show, which is the California governor debate. Yeah. I mean, that was the thing that happened. And it was like, did I miss anything or now? I don't know. Are we even taping right now? I don't know. I'm still having makeup put on me and applied. So I'm hoping not. Otherwise it's very awkward. Matt, do you think this is great content? It'll just be a running gag that throughout the next, throughout the next segment, I'll just have hands coming in and adjusting my hair and putting makeup on my face. I still. I still think was Ann Coulter who referred to John Edwards as the Brett girl? Or was that big of it? Yeah, that was Ann.

2:02.7

That was Ann.

2:03.2

Yep.

2:04.4

I want to make sure, so we still have Matt for 93 seconds, I think, which means this is Friendly Fire.
