we'll both lose our jobs.
It will just be for a couple
of minutes until Tom gets back.
Okay?
I'm not trained for this.
I don't care if you're
a f***ing communist.
On the Tom Fleischman show
you are a conservative
republican. All right?
Just take a few calls,
let them talk.
Okay.
Hey.
Ethan. Ethan.
I have a problem.
What, what is the problem?
Tom didn't show, Rouge
wants me to cover the shift.
What's the problem?
You know I get tongue...
[stammering]
Tongue tied.
Neil, were your parents mimes?
All right, problem solved.
I'll do it.
I could use the paycheck anyway.
-No, I could use the paycheck.
-Rouge would fire me.
What about Sheila?
Well, Sheila was in a very bad
ice yoga accident.
She shattered her femur.
How can her karma f***
my karma? That's not fair.
I'm rooting for you, buddy.
Feel good about you.
-F***! All right, you do it.
-That's what I thought.
Okay, but you have
to be a republican.
-Piece of cake.
-Totally gonna f*** this up,
aren't you?
-What are you talking about?
-Yeah, you're gonna
get me fired.
-No, am not.
-And arrested probably.
You're out of control.
Let's do this.
[recorded voice] Get ready for
two hours with the mic
from the right,
the sage from Seattle,
Mr. Tom Fleischman.
Top of the morning, folks.
I'm Charles Fern.
Visiting from out of town,
missing my home where
my heart is.
And in the world,
there is a lot of things
in the world.
A lot of things
in the world are happening.
Uh, and, and...
Actually right now, number
one album in America
today, guys,
is none other than gangster
rapper, Ridicule.
And I tell you what,
this album is an outrage.
It is an outrage, all right.
This thing is vulgar,
it is virulent
and at times it is vexing.
Let me read you
some of his "poetry."
"N-word what, N-word what,
N-word, please,
I got your p-word in my face
and my d-word up your sleeve."
I tell you what, this is enough.
I'm calling for a boycott.
Enough is enough
over here, folks.
Let's tell these people
what they really need to hear.
Let's send a message over
to Periscope records.
We're not gonna take it,
no, we're not gonna take it.
No, we're not gonna
take it anymore.
My producer Rasputin over
here is telling me that we have
some callers calling in.
Uh, Tiffany from Mount Rainer,
state your case please.
Hi. I totally agree with
everything that you are
saying, Charles.
My four year old boy called
his sister a "hoe" yesterday.
Whoa, a hoe. Wash that potty
mouth out with Pine Sol.
Yes, well we found out his
friends at school, they are
playing that rapper music.
Ah, Tiffany, well it's all part
of the coarsening of the society
by if it feels good,
let's mash it up and stuff
it into a syringe and just
stick it right up my urethra
liberal mentality.
I love your boycott idea.
Wow. You know what you are
a wonderful, wonderful
Republican MILF.
Mothers of Inspirational
Liberty and Freedom.
You're a fine MILF indeed.
Thank you, Tiffany.
Have a wonderful day.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
our country has been hijacked.
It has been overtaken
and overrun,
but, we will not let them
pull the wool over
our eyes anymore, will we?
No, we will not
get fooled again.
But, now a word
from our sponsor.
Glorious way to start your day,
a delectable assortment
of Doughglobe donut holes.
Tasty, tasty to stuff
your face-y, face-y.
Take the MO King exit off
the five and it's right there
on Hudson.
Tell him Fern sent ya.
[guitar music playing]
Think with the check and that,
you could definitely pitch in.
What?
Are you suggesting that we sell
my grandfather's Martin guitar?
Yeah.
I don't...
Do you know what this is?
I sure do. It's your only asset.
Honey, I am stepping up,
you just gotta give me some
more time.
How are you stepping up?
And how much more time?
All right, well I guess we
should be filming right now.
What? You're filming?
Yeah, I'm filming us.
Why are you filming us?
I was filming us
if we're breaking up.
Because it should be on tape.
We're not breaking up?
That's great. Oh, we're gonna
film our breakup now.
That's great.
Hey, everybody, hey, Adrienne
wants to film our breakup.
So, we're just gonna... you
wanna just send this to me?
Then we'll just post it?
No, we don't have
to call anybody.
We'll just send this and we'll
just post it to everybody.
Then that's how
they'll find out.
They'll find out and send it
to the whole world.
You see that face?
You see that face
of an a**hole?
Oh, I am the a**hole.
I am the a**hole.
-Can't bug the system.
-Yeah.
Get a ticket.
Pay the ticket same day.
Save yourself a major headache.
Thanks, man.
You got a week before
it goes to auction.
Then your car becomes my car.
[sighs] Stupid boot.
Now let's head on over
to the vacuum concession stand.
Where for premium members
we're offering a thousand
signed copies
of my first ever children's
book, Who's got your back?
It's available now at
BobBernard.com.
And of course the usual
merchandise, The Vaccum
is sealed, t-shirts,
sweatpants and blazers
are only a mouse click away.
All righty folks, that's it
from me, I'm Bob Bernard
and until I see you again,
The Vacuum is Sealed.
Hey. Thanks for letting
me stay here, man.
Yeah, of course.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, well lock of shame.
It's a viscous cycle you know.
You get the lock of shame
because of unpaid parking
tickets, but then it just
creates more unpaid
parking tickets.
Well, everybody knows
the dice are loaded so...
Yeah.
So, what do you wanna do
for your birthday?
I don't know,
probably go cliff diving.
I know a place where
they drain the water.
You know what I mean?
Oh, check this out.
I found this hardcore
track by Ridicule.
He taught me to survive
The Harlem
Sometimes it's harder
Disguised in the dark
Look in the eyes of the
Snake singing
Inside the monster
To rise be divided
Conquer
If it's all about money
I don't respect your power
That's weak
They could prowl and devour
They cowards you ask me
Powers that be mistreat us
Mislead us
Thinking eventually
We gon' bite the hand
That feed us
Some of them
they tried to keep
all up and from them...
Hey, Julia.
Oh, hi.
Need a lift?
[laughs]
That's a joke.
Skateboard, joke, yeah.
Right, got it.
Where you headed?
Harborview hospital.
I'm a nurse, you know.
Cause the outfit
didn't give me away.
I gave blood once.
Which is...
I'm not saying that that's...
-Right.
-Comparing to what that is.
Sure, um, so I'm sorry,
what do you do anyway?
You're like a voice over person?
No, well, I run a radio show.
Called Ears Wide Shut.
-Wait, are you serious?
-Yeah.
I love that show. Yes,
I've been trying to figure out
where I knew your voice from.
That's crazy, yeah.
Feels terrific to see all
