So have you had the "long time listener, first time caller" call yet?

No, not yet, damnit. But fingers crossed!!!!

Does this mean you WON'T take a phone call from me?

Of course we will! And please, the rest of you (especially those who have been wanting us to do a one guest format), call in!

Is anyone listening? Just checking. :-)

Question for Ms. Johnson: I've read where Miramax has purchased exclusive copyright on the phrase "I'm gettin' too old for this shit?"

Is this true?

How soon they forget, I called in two weeks ago with the "Long time reader, first time caller." line.

If only you started a little later. Work doesn't clear out to the point where I could put you on till 3:30.

Anyone listening?

I'm listening. Gonna disagree with you on Wedding Crashers though. Too chick flicky and light on the funny.

What?!?! I'm not chick-ish at all and I laughed my ass off as did everyone in the theatre.

Was that Ace, or did Cornholio just get into the studio?

Gotta diagree K. Tthat was one of those movies where they do the romance angle to bring in the chicks and the comedy angle for the guys. The comedy gets watered down to keep the leads all 'sweet' for the gals.

Some of the funny was OK (love Vaughn's overdrive jib-jabbering, but did it better in Made and Swingers) but not great. Not saying it was awful, just left with kinda an 'average, seen it before' kinda sensation.

Ace, you don't need to use such long leading questions with your guests, do you? Esp. when you're not discussing a specific breaking story.

I mean your first question was longer than everything Johnson said on the entire show!

Everything I learned about broadcasting I learned from Charlie Rose.

Just kidding. I will take your critique under serious advisement.

Sometimes, though, I don't want to just ask questions. I want to offer my own take in the guise of a question.

John, of course you're allowed to call in. We like it when you do.

It's just that... I'm not sure if other people realize that you're not the only one allowed to.

VonKreedon,

Sorry, if you said that, I missed it. We do a lot of reading the board and passing notes back and forth during the show, so, sometimes we frankly don't hear the entirety of a quesiton (or an interviewee's response).

You even snarfed when I said it, right after you corrected Karol in her attempt to pronounce vonKreedon.

Sometimes, though, I don't want to just ask questions. I want to offer my own take in the guise of a question.

I'd really have liked you to have asked about Hollywood targeting the foreign markets to the detriment of the domestic one -- hence growing anti-American subtexts.

Best show yet, it was obvious that the topic of the left-wing entertainment industry got your motors running. You're both getting very good at this.

"RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!"

Ace, I love you. Thanks.
