Glad that you all are here. That's got to be fake. I don't know. You got to tell me. Is it real? Is it fake? Or I'm going to ask someone in a moment something that you guys may or may not remember. So, look, I'm glad that you're here. We have a lot to get to. What a week it's been. It's Friday. And you know what that means? It means it's our time. This is our sour lemon special, everyone. This was, objectively speaking, I think you can say the most chaotic and insane week of the second Trump term. The president of the United States crashed the global economy for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
I'm not sure why he did it. He said he's got his reasons. He said, you know, he knows better than the economists. And I don't know. I just know that the market is in free fall and it was down more today than it was down the day before and then the day before that. OK. So we can only either laugh or cry. And on this channel, on this show, we choose to laugh. And that's why I have a very funny man joining me this evening, breaking down all the absurdity. And that is put him up on the screen. Mr. George Hahn. He's a writer, a humorous. He's a style consultant. He's a friend of the show. And he is a friend of mine. He did not invite me to good night and good luck last night, but that's OK. George, how you doing, my friend?
We missed you. I'm good, sir. How are you? I've missed you. I've been seeing you since... No, we were at a birthday party together a little while ago. Where were we at a birthday party? Nelly's birthday. Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. I kind of can't remember that night. Maybe like a margarita or two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a little cider. Yeah, this is a little... We are happy to serve you. Yeah. So... When I said someone who's going to know what I'm talking about, what did I say? Oh, shoot. I forgot. Oh, is it live or is it Memorex? Gosh, are you and I the only ones who are going to know what the Memorex reference? Probably. Wait, producers, anybody? Andy, Peter, Nikki, do you guys know?
Have you ever heard of that? Is it live or is it Memorex? I've heard that.
I've heard that before.
I have not. Do you know what Memorex was?
How did the hosts react to the sudden global market crash and stock declines?
I don't know the context. I just know I've heard other people say it.
Wasn't it VHS videotape? No, no. It was a cassette tape. Or reel-to-reel. No, it was a cassette tape. And it was, do you remember this? Do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do-ba-do Yeah. We had a Betamax first. That was our first machine. Did you have the big, giant projection screen television that you had to open up like a box, like a chest? No. Do you remember those? Yes. I had a friend who had one. That would have been amazing. I mean, that was always the best TV room slash den to visit.
Of course. No, but we had a floor. It was on wheels. We had a floor. We had a Sony Trinitron. Oh my gosh. Yes. Wait on wheels that you rolled into the room.
