Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. On this week's episode of Math & Magic, I'm sitting down with the one and only Bobby Bones. We're exploring the power of audio.
Yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners. That's why I'm here now, because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me.

In America, our own young people are taking up a similarly passionate cause. Yes, America's youth have rallied around the noble flag of the new Star Wars movie. Episode one, The Fandom Menace. It is a period of nerdy anticipation. Teens with rebellious acne striking from hidden pores have begun their first battle against the evil galactic empire, boys who girls like. Let's hear from someone who's taken up the cause. You da man, Yoda man.
I'll see this movie most likely six times in one day. The very first showing being the midnight show, and after that the noon show, the 4 p.m. show, the 7 p.m. show, the 10 p.m. show, and the midnight show the next day.
He reportedly added, after that I'll go home, be treated for scabies, and bury my dog. In case you've been frozen in carbonite for the last six months, the new Star Wars movie, Episode I, The Phantom Menace, opens next Wednesday. We sent our own Vance DeGeneres to Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where fans have been waiting in line for six weeks. Vance will be living with them until the movie opens. So here it is, our Star Wars, the obligatory coverage. That's actually the ending. Oops. Hey, Vance DeGeneres, are you out there? Is there a lot of excitement in the line?
Well, John, it's Hollywood, and excitement is Hollywood's middle name, especially when it comes to long lines. John, I went out and put together a little piece today. Let's take a look at it. Excuse me, how long have you been waiting in this line? Just about 10 seconds. About 30 seconds. About a minute. How long are you prepared to wait?
Not very long.
And yet another line, moving, yet certainly a line. Has it affected your family in any way? Has this affected your job in any way? You're annoyed at having to wait. Yes, yes, but we're not really waiting for anything. So, as you can clearly see, John, here in Hollywood, lines are a horse of a different color.
Vance, not that those aren't really good lines, but we say to Hollywood to cover the fans in line at the Chinese theater for the opening of the new Star Wars movie?
My mistake, John. I'm sorry. I thought you sent me out here to do a story on lines in general, but that makes much more sense. Excellent idea, John.
Well, go on over to the Chinese Theater and get your sleeping bag and get in line. We'll see you Monday. Vance DeGeneres, live somewhere in Hollywood. At Man's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, fans have been in line for six weeks for the opening of Star Wars The Phantom Menace. Our own Vance DeGeneres has been camping out for five days, and he's met some very interesting characters. So here it is, Star Wars, the obligatory coverage. Flashy. Vance DeGeneres is standing by live. Vance, we're all eager to know, what's it like out there living the Star Wars adventure?
Well, John, I have to tell you, my sleeping bag has a funny smell. And last night a hobo stepped on my finger.
Well, what's the atmosphere like there, Vance?
Well, John, during the day, it's pretty tame, but after midnight, it's sort of like being a kid at a circus, only without the wild animals and tents, or fun. And instead of clowns, you have crack-fueled gang members piling out of cars. Fortunately, I'm protected by line-dwelling Star Wars fanatics wielding toy lightsabers and the Force. Well, speaking of the Star Wars fans, how about introducing us to some of the fans? You bet, John. We'll meet some super fans who have incredibly long, endless, minutiae-filled stories about which Rebel Alliance military insignia is coolest.
