by Joshua Dorkin on January 10, 2009

This episode features hosts Joshua Dorkin & Charles Feldman talking about predatory lending and how lenders won’t work with borrowers regarding pre-payment penalties unless they fall behind on their loan. The topic hits home with Josh and he tells Countrywide how he really feels about it.

Did you file a complaint against the broker/lender that stuck you with a pre-pay penalty?

Okay– I’m a heckova lot cuter than Charles so you should totally dump him and sign me up for your next video.

I’ll even let you squeeze the duckie’s head :-)

Connie–I have no problems with you working with Josh…but the fact that you would permit him to squeeze the duckie’s head does raise concerns about character.
The duck is a vital part of our production plans–in fact, the duck writes most of the material and Josh and I simply mouth the words.
Squeezing the duck’s head would stifle the duck’s crativity, I believe.
So, suggesting that you would permit Josh to squeeze its head, is almost Cheney like in the horrors it would bring about!
Therefore, I must claim the duck as my own and have it placed under the wings (sorry) of some duck-caring agency.

Dearest Charles,

During said video in question, said duckie was sending something call, “subliminal messages.” Wearing my finest tin-foil bonnet (and standing on one leg singing yankee doodle) I was able to discern his True Intentions.

Seeing as how Duckie is bent on Total World Domination, I feel it’s best to just let Josh squeeze away and get it over with already. Therefore, you are hereby gently encouraged to return said duck to Josh at your earliest convenience.

That or call Cheney for me and tell him I’ll be late to dinner :-)

Kiss, kiss….

Would that be Dick from Dick and Rich?

No way I’m hangin’ with a guy with a finger up his nose :)

BTW Charles, I had nightmares of tiny plastic duckies delicately roasted with new potatoes all evening. (shiver!)
