That's like the easiest meteorology job ever - just ignore 2/3 of the island!
Arthur doesn't even need to move.

The way he says "it's gonna be hot" seems really stoned. Also, the laughter of the other guy at the end makes abundantly clear that Arthur is of often a very, very funny dude.

I'm going to carry a smile the rest of the day just thinking about this guy's resonant laugh.

Sincere thanks!!!

@DorothyMantooth: Yes. That is the best part. However, I get the sense that because I am not currently wasted I am losing a lot of the finer nuances of this clip.

I think CBS's Early show can be saved.

@businesspearl: i really enjoyed this. it's only improved by simultaneously listening to ethereal, mathy chamber rock on wmbr. but seriously, i just flipped out when my phone rang (as if i was actually on meth or something).

Twelve watches in, I'm trying to decide on my feelings about the co-host taking a pre-talk breath at the very end. Normally I might hate, but wrapped up in this video he's deserving of love too!

I'm going to start trying to work "then I don't need a jacket" into every conversation I have for the next few years.

I said that once, but the rest of my fellow fireman inside the burning middle school all started screaming at me.

I try that "then I don't need this jacket" line all the time and I never get a reaction like that. Arthur's a great audience, I guess.

The greatest part is how, for just a split second before he starts laughing, he gets this look in his eyes like he's about to pull out a machete and chop up everyone in the studio.

Or was that just me?
