[00:01:35]  There was a guy on the radio.
[00:01:36]  This is like the 50s and 60s.
[00:01:38]  And his name was Gene Shepard.
[00:01:39]  He's the guy that wrote that Christmas movie.
[00:01:42]  What's it called?
[00:01:42]  You know, about the boy with the red flyer sled?
[00:01:46]  Christmas story.
[00:01:48]  That was his best story.
[00:01:49]  It was about him.
[00:01:50]  But he would come on the radio every night for an hour at 11 o'clock at night.
[00:01:52]  He would tell one story about his childhood that would last an entire hour.
[00:01:58]  And he would tell it like this.
[00:02:00]  And he would start the story.
[00:02:02]  A little music would play under.
[00:02:04]  And for an entire hour, he'd tell this one little anecdote.
[00:02:08]  And people would sit there riveted.
[00:02:10]  Now it's 2016.
[00:02:11]  If you don't get to the point in like a half a millisecond, everybody's switching the dial.
[00:02:16]  This guy, as big as he was, you see, you see this Victor.
[00:02:19]  A lot of people like him.
[00:02:20]  100 years later, they remember him, they revere him.
[00:02:22]  If you can't get to the point in four seconds now, everybody shuts you off.
[00:02:27]  It's a whole different world.
[00:02:28]  So I guess it was better back.
[00:02:31]  Nah, it's better today.
[00:02:32]  Look at this phone.
[00:02:33]  I got everything in the world.
[00:02:34]  I can watch TV, watch movies, read books, do anything.
[00:02:37]  It's quicker.
[00:02:38]  It's better today.
[00:02:39]  Hey, speaking of which, I want you once again to go to my Twitter feed because I retweeted my own tweet.
[00:02:46]  Facebook is going to use Snopes for fact-checking.
[00:02:49]  So I put it now at the top of my Twitter feed.
[00:02:52]  Snopes is not anything real.
[00:02:55]  It's an amateur, homemade, ridiculously stupid website.
[00:03:00]  These two slobs run it.
[00:03:02]  I have a picture of them up on Twitter, Mark Simone, and White Twitter.
[00:03:06]  Look at their picture.
[00:03:07]  They're sitting on their Roseanne show couch.
[00:03:10]  That filthy couch is the world headquarters of Snopes.
[00:03:14]  And their silly-looking cat is with it.
[00:03:16]  Just go look at that.
[00:03:18]  Mark Simone and White Twitter.
[00:03:19]  Look at that picture.
[00:03:20]  Always picture that when someone tells you to check Snopes.
[00:03:25]  And this is ridiculous that Facebook is going to let them decide.
[00:03:29]  These two slobs in California will decide what's fake news.
[00:03:32]  I don't think so.
[00:03:34]  You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
