Well I'm currently a balloon decor consultant by day and a food services supervisor at night. While we were sitting in the green room before we went to air I had some of my "supplies" with me so I decided to make you this hat. (Gives Greg a balloon hat with spiral balloons on either side and three on top that read "TKO")

Ooh, classic hits. That sounds great, especially when there's nothing good on. Have you been listening to classic episodes of American Top 40?
