Yeah, I'm playing music
I don't believe in.
I don't even know...
You know I'm just...
I think you know
who to believe in.
That's why you feel
the way you do.
It's a conundrum.
Whatever problems you think
you have, Ethan, they
are manageable.
You are right,
you are absolutely right, Julia.
Last week Seattle's radio
personality Charles Fern
began a simple boycott
of Ridicule's music.
Tonight we join that boycott.
Here at the Vacuum
with our millions of cleaners
around the world,
we want to send a clear message
to those at Periscope records.
While we will never legislate
corporate ethics,
we will only support products
that reflect our values.
Thanks very much everybody.
I'm Bob Bernard, that's it
from me for today.
We'll see you tomorrow
and until the the vacuum
is sealed.
Wow.
The Charles Fern show is having
a cultural effect.
Guys, listen I am done
with Charles Fern.
What are you talking about?
I just can't do this anymore.
This is ridiculous.
Hey, don't start with
We're on a roll.
You can't quit now.
Look I'm seeing Ann Alcott
tonight and I' gonna get
liquored up
and I'll just tell her
that I am a fraud.
No, no, this is f***ing insane.
You, hey, Ethan.
You have a gift.
You are gifted.
-And this is your destiny.
-My destiny?
Hi. Hello, Ethan.
-Hi, Adrienne.
-So I head you started seeing
Julia Davis.
Okay.
I thought I'd be the first
to tell you that I am seeing
Woodrow.
-Your cameraman?
-No, cinematographer.
Well, I'm very happy
for you guys.
He's very, very, very caring.
And he's got something
you don't.
Integrity.
So, Neil do you know that
you work for a fascista?
-What?
-Charles Fern, that's what.
And I am here to get
the straight poop,
because there is no one
in Maine with that name.
Well, maybe it's a stage name.
Like Liberace, or, Mitt Romney.
Exactly.
real Mccoy.
Charles Fernando.
Does that look like him?
You know the more I gaze,
yeah.
-Mexican dude.
-Fernando, yeah.
So, your boss is into
-Cocaine, hookers.
-Charles Fern is doing
cocaine?
No, Charles Fern is doing
hookers and selling cocaine.
So where do I find this Fern?
-I don't know, he's reclusive.
-Oh, is he? Well, I'll find him.
I'll find him faster than you
can say Osama Bin Laden.
Bye guys. Thank you.
Now, I outlined in
my new number one
New York times bestseller,
from Hitler to Hillary,
the methodology
in which
the liberal establishment
has invaded academia.
The truth is liberals
hate science.
They believe that humans
are equivalent to rodents.
Well, I am here to tell you
that American students
deserve more than
evolutionary dogma.
[applause]
But, Washington,
there is good news.
We have a new voice in town.
A fresh voice.
A voice that many of us believe
is going to lead our
party into greatness.
So, please with a very warm
welcome,
welcome Charles Fern.
[applause]
Gosh, you look gorgeous.
Isn't she gorgeous?
[students whistling]
Wow, what a good book, huh?
What a good read.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
-And what a gorgeous
group of humans.
-Yes.
Gorgeous humans.
Well, listen, I've prepared
a little something.
They'll spit and spat.
They'll tell their tale.
Call Daddy chimp
and mommy whale.
They'll chirp and chime
and make their claim.
Mold of man is whence we came.
But, evolutionists be damned.
We're more than beasts,
by god, we're man.
and bull.
[laughter]
So, free your body,
free your mind.
Embrace intelligent design.
[applause]
[cheering]
You know Ann there is
something very serious
I want to talk to you about.
Anything for you, Charles.
Essential oils,
I couldn't believe it.
Why don't we sit down first?
Can we sit over there,
actually?
Ricardo. Thank you.
Thank you.
I love this place.
Oh, yes, it's such a wonderful
place, I'm really
glad you picked it.
This has honestly been such
a lovely evening. Thank you for
an amazing dinner, Jefferson.
I'm so happy to have you back.
I missed you like crazy.
I missed you too.
Buonasera.
Hello, your Merlot,
Miss Alcott?
Yes, thank you, Phillipe.
And for the gentleman
in the fabulous jacket?
[laughs] Thank you.
You're so kind.
I'll have a Shirley Temple
with Jack Daniels please.
An excellent choice.
So, Charles, do you live
in a house or an
apartment in Maine.
Well, that's funny you ask...
It's actually a log cabin that
my grandfather built
with a pick ax and a hammer.
He built it all himself?
Well, he had the help of
railroad workers as well.
It's on the lake.
It's quite lovely.
Sounds stunning.
Like a Thomas Kinkade painting.
[both laughing]
Well, it is very Kinkadian.
Come on, Jules, I wanna
see the sights.
I suppose you've earned
a trip to my special place
but, you promise to behave
yourself.
Of course, no one denies
the man with the magic hands.
[laughing] Okay, come on,
let's go.
And for the beautiful lady,
the merlow.
And for the gentleman.
Your Shirley temple.
With Jack Daniels, like it?
-I'll give you a few minutes
with the menu.
-Thank you.
Well, to you Ann, a rare woman
of beauty, grace and integrity.
Thank you, Charles.
I want you to know Charles
that whatever it is,
you have it and it needs
to be shared with the world.
I think you are one
of the coolest people
I have ever met.
You are just the woman of
your word and that is rare.
I feel the same about you.
No, I am a student
and you are a professor.
Well, I am older.
But, you are very beautiful.
[chuckles]
I had a wonderful time
tonight, Charles.
Thank you.
house enclosed in an
ivory tower
in the center
of emerald city.
All right, I have had enough
of that one, can you imagine
what kind of
girlfriend you would
make if you were raised
by that woman?
Tell you what, huh?
Well, anyway listen,
we're all very excited
on the fernization tour.
I'm Charles Fern.
Stay wealthy Washington.
Hey, Ethan, your ex
is at the door, she's got
a cameraman with her.
-Adrienne and Woody?
-Yeah, yeah.
Put on some of the meditation
music or something? You have
any of that?
Put on some... Do some
instruction video or something
like that.
-What?
-Stretch.
Deeper down, going
south, going south.
Oh, my God, what are you doing?
Rouge, I really actually...
I'm sick of that... I like the
choice of the Jeans, because,
What are you guys doing here?
This is the Charles Fern show.
Oh, no, not anymore

We use this space
for post show yoga.
You guys are really welcome
to join us in some yoga motion.

Wow, that's some details.
Actually I have something
