well I don't know I'm kind of a turning point here at the show already we've reached sort
of a Crossroads do uh see it was brought up earlier today somebody pointed out on
my staff that across the hall at live at five is former President Jimmy Carter and
that's interesting a smattering of Applause and a couple of Boos over there
um so now while there's no way in hell the man would come here and be on the show
like like many of your right-thinking Americans um so they said well maybe we can go over and
say hello to him now I don't even know if this is something we want to do yeah what
wait a minute wait a minute
did you all vote for the man
and how about you Steve I noticed that our drummer was especially
eager for for me to go over and say hello to former President Carter no
but what do I do when I when I get over there is the problem what should I do
say hello then what now the new book okay these are all great
suggestions thank you very much that concludes the audience participation
um well all right I guess we have to now yeah stop it stop it let's just let's just sneak
over there if nothing happens no big deal right it really won't count against your entertainment time
