John:Zip Tie?
John:Who's Zip Tie, you say?

Speaker D:Right.
Speaker D:We can say that because she is the ultimate twillage.
Speaker D:See, I could see that Satan.
Speaker D:You can see that Satan has.
Speaker D:Also has a lazy, fat, lazy South Jersey tongue.
Speaker D:Yes.
Speaker D:Wow.
Speaker D:We can all agree that the Dr.
Speaker D:Jen Guntner is a spawn of my seed.
Speaker D:And I don't like her either.
Speaker B:That would explain the stinky crotch.
Speaker D:Oh.
Speaker C:Hello.
Speaker F:Hello.
Speaker B:A lot of reverb in that.
Speaker F:Yes, hello.
Speaker F:Not really.

Speaker B:Hello, Sheldon.
Speaker F:Hello, Sheldon.
Speaker B:Now you get.
Speaker B:Now you have to make yourself a Stephen Hawking thing.
Speaker F:I only have three buttons.
Speaker F:Now I will have to start writing this shit down.
Speaker F:Hello, Sheldon.
Speaker F:But it's not.
Speaker F:It's Hawk.
Speaker F:Wait a minute.
Speaker F:Last time I said his name, I said it wrong.
Speaker F:Last time I said my name, I said it wrong.
Speaker F:It wasn't Stephen Hawking.
Speaker F:I said Hawkins.
Speaker F:I think it's Stephen Hawking.
Speaker F:Yeah, I fucked up my own name.
Speaker F:I'm smart, but I don't know my own name.
Speaker B:Well, it's the als.
Speaker F:Yes.
Speaker F:Yes.
Speaker F:That's what we'll blame it on.
Speaker F:So, yes, I only have three presets, and I don't know if Stephen Hawking will be one of them.
Speaker F:So, as you can see, I look.
Speaker B:Forward to Stephen Hawking talking about the intricacies of, like, the F word.
Speaker B:Whatever.
Speaker B:Something horrible.
Speaker F:I'm a fan of the F word.
Speaker F:There's nothing better than saying I haven't.
Speaker B:Earned the curse of Blue Streak.
Speaker F:Yes.
Speaker F:I'll tell you, that motherfucking chair.
Speaker F:I have a guy that watches me.
Speaker F:I think he's getting too handsy.
Speaker F:He keeps apologizing for sticking a digit in my ass.
Speaker F:And I don't think that's by accident.
Speaker B:There's really nothing he could do about it.
Speaker F:Of course there's nothing I can do about it.
Speaker F:That's why I just sit here with this stupid jaw sticking out my bottom teeth.
Speaker B:It's amazing how long he's been around like that, him and Artie Lang.
Speaker B:Artie Lang has ALS, too?
Speaker F:No, he's still on his deathbed.
Speaker B:Still.
Speaker B:And Keith Richards, he's like.
Speaker B:He's like Hyman Roth.
Speaker B:The Godfather, too.
Speaker B:He's been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years.
Speaker D:Listen, I don't want either one of those motherfuckers.
Speaker D:I don't want Stephen Hawking.
