| There was a guy on the radio. | |
| This is like the 50s and 60s. | |
| And his name was Gene Shepard. | |
| He's the guy that wrote that Christmas movie. | |
| What's it called? | |
| You know, about the boy with the red flyer sled? | |
| Christmas story. | |
| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 100 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 it was better back. | |
| Nah, 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 want you once again to go to my Twitter feed because I retweeted my own tweet. | |
| Facebook is going to 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 someone tells you to check Snopes. | |
| And this is ridiculous that Facebook is going to let them decide. | |
| These two slobs in California will decide what's fake news. | |
| I don't think so. | |
| You want smart political talk without the meltdowns? | |
| We got you. | |
