If you're the, uh, the flamboyant one in a room or maybe the extremely shy one in a room or the one who seems like they, they'd like to have a little attention or they have something unique about them.

Uh, a British whistleblower, you might have heard of this, and banker Simon Andreas, who reported evidence concerning Mr. Howard Lutnick.
Dean RyanHOST
12:56
Do you know Howard Lutnick? The man who has no shame and is a cardboard cutout of a used car salesman, like Cal Worthington, but he's much better.
Dean RyanHOST
13:08
Well, uh, despite my small ear holes that things fall out of, uh, this is, uh, quite concerning.
Dean RyanHOST
13:17
So is that.

Evan JohnsHOST

He was a famous West Coast salesman in the 80s.
BooHOST
8:56
He did.
BooHOST

little, probably a little inspired by Lee Iacocca and also Cal Worthington, Worthington altogether.

SteveHOST
47:58
You know how Will Ferrell kinda plays a Ric Flair type on, uh-
Alan GalbraithHOST

Alan GalbraithHOST
31:30
Like, if you think back to Cal Worthington, you know, who—my dog Spot— Muntz had his character.
Alan GalbraithHOST
31:38
He wore a Napoleon hat, and he dressed up in red underwear, right? Long johns.
Alan GalbraithHOST
