| 1:30.0 | We got Buster only in about 32 minutes. I'm excited about that. I think you'll be great during that interview. I asked real full-sentenced questions, so that should be really good. Yeah, I'm not worried about it. You're not worried at all? I have a tremendous amount of confidence though. Really? Yeah. It didn't end well last time we talked to Buster a week ago. Because of you. Yeah. Right. Because I'm pushing him to pay off the debt videos. Buster loves me. Buster loves me. And I didn't say a word. He could just tell by my face that I believe in Buster and you don't. Okay. Well, at what time can I become a little bit disappointed that he still hasn't paid the debt off? I think once we get through June and it's not paid off, now you have real, now you have real issues. So we hit July 1 and it's not paid off. I can be upset. Yes. All right. Well, July 1 is not that far off, my friend. It's two months away. That seems like a long time. All right. So you have nothing but confidence that Buster is going to pay this off? Nope. I believe he's a man of integrity. I think he likes us and he likes RJ and Ray. And he would look forward to a nice lunch. I still am not sure that he understands that he's going to be taking all of you guys out for lunch. Well, he's definitely paying for me and you. How is he paying for you? How did you get in here? I'm the one that made the bet. There would have been no bet if I didn't suggest it. So if I won, you get a free lunch, and if he won, you got a free lunch? Yes. |
| 2:52.2 | I wheezed my way. |
| 3:11.9 | You're a brilliant negotiator then. Right. Well, think of what you did with TriCon. I did the same thing with this bet. But I didn't do that with TriCon. Of course you did. I didn't. Of course you did. You wheezzled right in there. I mean, you came out of the studio and threw your bosoms right into Luke's face, your giant bosoms. |
| 3:13.2 | He couldn't resist. |
