ENZO: This is Enzo F. Cesario with another edition of the Brandsplat video report. Hey, Ben. How're you doing?
BEN: Good. How're you?
ENZO: Good. Do I have a golden voice?
BEN: You have a beautiful voice.
ENZO: You did see the stuff about the homeless man with the golden voice? Everybody's seen it.
BEN: I've been red-eyed and crying every time I see it.
ENZO: Right? He's emotional.
BEN: He's very emotional.
ENZO: See, I don't think he should go into voice over. I think he should go into politics.
BEN: That's a good idea.
ENZO: John Boehner?
BEN: I don't know if he can out-cry John Boehner.
ENZO: Let's take a look. Let's look at the two crying voices. Let's see the homeless guy first. (He shows a clip of Ted Williams from The Early Show on CBS.) And now, John Boehner. (He pronounces it “Boner”. He shows a clip of John Boehner crying.) It's boner, right?
BEN: It is spelled boner, but for political purposes...
ENZO: Why is it baner? It's boner. Look at the spelling! The guy's name is boner.
BEN: I think it works in his favor.
ENZO: I think he should go into voice overs. They should swap. Could do a reality show.
BEN: He'd be good at being homeless.
ENZO: I bet he'd be great... All right. Enough of that. Let's see... Another thing I ran across. This is pretty fun. This is a Tumblr site. A copywriter who's making fun of advertising and advertising lingo. Check this out. (He shows the site.) Here, let me find my favorite one right here: “Good God... That slogan perfectly encapsulates the value proposition.”
BEN: You know, I've said that many times to myself.
ENZO: People talk like that in advertising! Seriously. It's like “win/win” and all that.
BEN: “Out of the box.”
ENZO: “Out of the box.” You're dating yourself. Okay. So finally, I want to talk about... you know some people are complaining about those 3D glasses you have to put on. I was at Best Buy and saw one that Toshiba had – they had the blinking lights that were going. This guy – this French guy here, Francois – I can't even try to pronounce his last name. I'll butcher it. (Ben blathers something in a bad French accent.) Exactly. He's demonstrating this new technology. Awesome! I'm gonna get me a pair. Check this out. Watch. (He shows YouTube clip “3D No Glasses.”) All right. How's that? (He's blinking his eyes really fast.)
BEN: It's good to see Jacques Cousteau back at work again.
ENZO: Ben, you look so different. Oh my god – you look like you're in 3D.
ENZO: Enzo F. Cesario – in 3D. See you next time.
