The Bert Show.

When Bert leaves and when he goes on vacation and we're sitting here remaining to do the show,

you have to, we do a meeting after every show.

And Bert has a three ring binder that he carries around with him.

Like, you know, who is it, Linus with his blanket?

Like, we've got nothing to go back on.

Right. So I asked him before he left for this San Diego trip, if he would send me, you know, leave me the binder or send me the list. So he sent me the file. He keeps it also backed up in his computer. He sent me the file. so I read down the file and I saw all these different topics and these
