The reenactment of the EST meeting with Bert Convy was exactly what Werner Earhart used to open his program with calling everyone "Assholes" right from the beginning of the seminar.
"Billy Clyde Puckett: [of a football player in a tuxedo] Now who says that clothes don't make the man? That's a well-dressed phone booth!"
"Friedrich Bismark: Assholes! Ass. Holes! You're all assholes, every one of you. Your lives don't work!"
