Don't forget to click on the radio icon, put in my last name Hannity.
There was a guy on the radio.
This is like the 50s and 60s, and his name was Gene Shepherd.
He's the guy that wrote that uh Christmas movie.
What's it called?
You know, about the boy with the red flyer uh sled.
Christmas story.
That was his one is that was his best story.
It was about him.
But he would come on the radio every night for an hour at 11 o'clock at night.
He would tell one story about his childhood that would last an entire hour.
And he would tell it like this.
And he would start the story in a little music would play under.
And for an entire hour, he'd tell this one little anecdote.
And people would sit there riveted.
Now it's 2016.
If you don't get to the point in like a half a millisecond, everybody's switching the dial.
This guy, as big as he was.
You see, you see this Victor.
A lot of people like him.
A hundred years later, they remember him, they revere him.
If you can't get to the point in four seconds now, everybody shuts you off.
It's a whole different world.
So I guess I guess it was better back.
Nay, it's better today.
Look at this phone.
I got everything in the world.
I can watch TV, watch movies, read books, do anything.
It's quicker.
It's better today.
Hey, speaking of which, I uh want you once again to go to my Twitter feed because I've I retweeted my own tweet.
Uh Facebook is gonna use Snopes for fact checking.
So I put it now at the top of my Twitter feed.
Snopes is not anything real.
It's an amateur, homemade, ridiculously stupid website.
These two slobs run it.
I have a picture of them up on Twitter, Mark Simone and White Twitter.
Look at their picture.
They're sitting on their Roseanne show couch.
That filthy couch is the world headquarters of Snopes, and their silly looking cat is with it.
Just go look at that.
Mark Simone and White Twitter, look at that picture.
Always picture that when you someone tells you to check Snopes.
And this is ridiculous that Facebook is gonna let them decide.
These two slobs in California will decide what's fake news.
I don't think so.
