Tune in tonight and get a special weather forecast with all the news! By the way, numerology geeks, notice that the episode number and the date are almost the exact same numbers. Go play those numbers!

Also, fun fact: Second night in a row that Stephen asked the guest what name would they choose for themselves if they could choose a different name.

Cris-Ish in Syri-Eh!

This guy looks nothing like what I thought he would. I guess I’m used to dictators who wear outlandish clothing, have huge sunglasses, flanked by hordes of beautiful female bodyguards, military outfits, and entourages that are dressed and look exactly like them.

Stephen’s graphic team is waiting to come up with a good graphic for when we go to war, but for now they have created “Cris-ish in Syri-eh”, for the fact that Obama is kind of half committed to scaring us all into another war.

Careful where you point that thing!

“You know what, folks? I miss George W. Bush. That man knew how to sell a war. Obama has hard evidence of weapons of mass destruction and he can’t even get England to go along with it.”

Steve Coll of the New Yorker came on to discuss with Stephen about the possible war in Syria.

Perfect Polly

It’s a fake bird activated by a motion sensor and it chirps and turns its head to the left when activated. I’m guessing it was on Fox News late at night. Then again, it is Fox News, I guess it could’ve been anytime.

The ad has a great rhyme. Yes, it’s great, trust me. So Stephen comes up with one too:

“Your golden years are still fantastic, even if your only friend is made of plastic.”

Stephen doesn’t realize “Imperfect Polly” is the real bird.

“You’re nothing but a battery powered abomination!”

Gary England Windy Rains

He was in ‘Twister’. He created a lot of the science that people use to predict tornadoes.

Stephen demonstrates where Tornadoes hit:

Gary: The area where tornadoes will occur, migrates.

Stephen: That’s not an alley, that’s a worm.

__________

Stephen: Shouldn’t your name be something like, “Sleet Thunderslush”?
Gary: A lot of people do change their names.
Stephen: You ever thought about it?
Gary: No, no.
Stephen: Think about it. What would you like your name to be, if you could take your two favorite weather patterns and slam ’em together?
Gary: I do love the wind and I do love the rain …
Stephen: Windy Rains! Actually, you sound like a stripper.
