Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, we're back here at Business Success Tips for show number 55, and we are still alive. I am joined as always, with Paul, and Lee, and via magic Internet connection, Andy.

From his bed.

Yeah, Paul, I'm alive.

Andy is still alive.

They butchered him up, but he still lives.

I live.

He wasn't killed by the hospital. They tried, but he's still alive.

Andy underwent the knife the other day.

That's right. Well, I don't want to see your scar Andy, but you can tell us what verbal operation you went through, if you want, I want all our listeners to know how they chopped you up in little pieces.

They don't want to know. Hey, you know, you do have Skype video, and the camera's on, I'd be happy to show you right now.

No, no no. No, no, no.

It's ok.

I just ate dinner, Andy.

No, I don't want to see.

Awwww, geez.

I have a latent echo, but I guess that's ok, right?

Actually that's Andy echoing. He might want to turn down his sound, somehow.

Oh.

I'll fix it.

He just wants to be heard above the rest.

I see.

So, Andy's been in the hospital now, I think for, how long Andy, it was like seven days? Or eight days or nine days?

It was eight days, man.

Eight days in the hospital.

Eight days! That sucks.

Did they give you all the pudding and ice cream you wanted?

Did they give you enough drugs to keep you happy?

I didn't get anything I wanted. But you know what I got that I wanted?

Nurses?

Morphine?

I got morphine.

Morphine. I win.

Oh that'll work. That'll take care of you.

Drug of choice.

Did they give you that in a take home package, too?

Actually, no, they gave me Percoset for take home.

Oh, that's not as good as Percodan.

Save a few of those for me.

Sure you guys.

Before getting depressed. So I guess we need to talk about, do you want to talk about doctors or anything like that, Andy, since we're talking about business. How nice they were to you at the hospital, or do you want to forget that whole thing?

Well, I really don't think our typical audience gives a flying crap about middle-age kind of shit.

Ohhhhh.

No, no.

Don't you know how many HMO listeners we have?

That's right, there's probably a bunch of geriatrics going out there "you too can avoid this in the hospital." Ok.

Well, no, I think we should be talking about making a lot of money.

Making a lot of money.

That's a good idea. Well, speaking of which, now, let's see. Paul's been in Seattle. He was up there for five days.

I was in Seattle, that's true.

So he made lots of money when he was up there.

Actually, have you heard the statistics from Seattle there, Andy?

I heard, can you guys hear me, I changed microphones.

Now you're really loud.

Yeah, you're really loud. You sound clearer and sexier.

Back off.

You've always been a little loud, Andy.

I know. I'm sorry. Actually, I heard you guys sold like 6000 CDs.

No, it was only 2000 CDs.

Now that doesn't sound as impressive after he said six.

Six thousand. I thought 2000 was pretty good, but,

You didn't sell 6000?

No, shit.

It hurts to laugh.

There wasn't that many people!

I'm in pain.

Don't laugh. I had that happen once every time I laughed I cried, and people laughed when I did that. So, anyway, we did well and hopefully we did enough to pay for the equipment and pay for somebody to edit it and also pay also to work on making our first movie. So it was cool. Worked out good.

So business venture worked out.

Yep, it's all good.

Good! Congratulations...
