The Post.

You've got that fund-raiser

with the preschool.

And a brunch with Aaron Ivenson

Oh, well, what I need

is a strong cup of coffee.

Oh, Doughglobes has coffee.

-I don't know

what Doughglobes is.

-It's a donut.

I don't, I don't really

understand you.

Anyway, thank you so much.

I can't wait. This is great.

Nice meeting you guys.

-Nice to meet you, bye.

-Bye, nice to meet you.

Thanks for the gig,

I really appreciate it.

It's helping out a lot.

You're not getting

paid for this.

What are you talking about?

I mean that goes against

the 8000 dollars

that you owe me.

If you want to put a down

payment on a duplex,

that's your decision, not mine.

First of all,

we had a verbal agreement.

Adrienne, you're ridiculous.

Okay, you know what,

that hey...

-You know what, that's fine.

-See you, Adrienne.

[man on TV] Gold, the universal

symbol of wealth.

Ancient man forged coins

inventing money.

Today money

is not always gold, but

thankfully gold is always...

[cellphone ringing]

[gasps]

F***!

[cellphone ringing]

-Wow!

-Take it easy, Luke.

-For f***'s sake.

-It's the station man, sorry.

Yeah, hello?

Hey, Rouge, sorry to bother

you, uh, I don't know where

Tom is.

-What do you mean?

-I don't know where he is.

-Uh, he's not here.

-Your kidding me.

He's never been

late in eight years.

Um...

Okay, well you're gonna

have to run an old show.

The tape is in the vault,

Rouge and it's locked.

Sh*t.

Yeah, I got the keys. Um...

You...

You're gonna have

to cover the show.

-What?

-Yeah...

[sighs]

Look, we can't go to dead air,

we'll both lose our jobs.

It will just be for a couple

of minutes until Tom gets back.

Okay?

I'm not trained for this.

I don't care if you're

a f***ing communist.

On the Tom Fleischman show

you are a conservative

republican. All right?

Just take a few calls,

let them talk.

Okay.

Hey.

Ethan. Ethan.

I have a problem.

What, what is the problem?

Tom didn't show, Rouge

wants me to cover the shift.

What's the problem?

You know I get tongue...

[stammering]

Tongue tied.

Neil, were your parents mimes?

All right, problem solved.

I'll do it.

I could use the paycheck anyway.

-No, I could use the paycheck.

-Rouge would fire me.

What about Sheila?

Well, Sheila was in a very bad

ice yoga accident.

She shattered her femur.

How can her karma f***

my karma? That's not fair.

I'm rooting for you, buddy.

Feel good about you.

-F***! All right, you do it.

-That's what I thought.

Okay, but you have

to be a republican.

-Piece of cake.

-Totally gonna f*** this up,

aren't you?

-What are you talking about?

-Yeah, you're gonna

get me fired.

-No, am not.
