I I I don't know if you got my memo but monkey business channels got a new show in development what's that it's called love -- of the rich and famous. A couple. -- We're imitate irritate viewers and tourism well for the almost I was glad to see a picture of his girlfriend their -- you know in the book that I was reading about her and she went to Wake Forest I thought to myself you know let's just a little too close call you know one ACC school would Winston-Salem were using the word. Why couldn't she have why couldn't she have been from South Dakota State or somewhere you know. I don't know one thing to cutesy about this story Howie and I know you've been involved in covering a lot of blackmail stories over the years. Who takes what black mailer takes a personal coach. What I guess that's going to be sharp Webb won a sharp girls offenses right yeah former former mafia lawyer I know I know well it's funny how I don't know if you got my other message earlier I was calling yup I'm writing the screenplay. And I think may -- one option -- would never sees the light on that in fact bidding starts in the high to figure -- again that's his. But that's his other excuse right and what blackmail he was offering the solid screen implies. I mean the good thing a worldwide pants it's a production company right that's right. I think if he gets -- Argo involved in the beginning to represent him he probably -- 600 no. -- is alimony everybody could live happily ever after. Yeah except for possible we did -- I I now. -- noticed this QB good news for Berkett tuition tries to begin her law career right now I don't think he hurt my hope that been the biggest.

You know other than other than the tabloids that are given -- field Paul it's great stuff I you know I read it ever Iowa I like to read this one of those things you know your read it every day is in the papers. But it has as anyone noticed if Israel did his ratings go up on Friday night after all we're crazy yeah they shot up and they're going to be huge tonight yeah they're gonna be huge tonight this is this is ratings gold you can -- yes there is a winner here in a way. In a way yes and -- and I I think is we know. The American public they -- second X third next whatnot but. -- well I think I predicted this unless there's a lot more than unfolds out of this I think -- Letterman Weathers is just fine. Do you do you think I that people suggest amazed that that they there's -- because more to look into it and just you know just touch and everything but the third rail GM may be but I guess I gotta say that it did I mean this is kind of like gambling in this establishment I'm shocked. --"
