[speaker001:] Okay, you ready?
[speaker002:] Yeah, is that it?
[speaker001:] That's it.
[speaker002:] Okay, [LAUGHTER]. Uh, well, we, I guess we have to talk about magazines and, uh, what, what,
[speaker001:] What, what kind do you subscribe to or do you?
[speaker002:] Well, I subscribe to P-, well, I did subscribe to PEOPLE for a long time. I do, you know, I enjoy PEOPLE. And now I'm, uh, [NOISE] I, uh, subscribe to, uh, LADIES HOME JOURNAL.
[speaker001:] I, uh, take a computer magazine.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And, uh, also, uh, BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS.
[speaker002:] Okay, are you interested in, in computers?
[speaker001:] And my pet peeve with magazines
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] is all the little cards inside.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] And the cardboard pages [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah, well, that, that would be one of my peeves. My pet peeves with magazines, the woman's magazines especially, I mean, it's, it's really geared to, all they have, you have too many recipes first of all. I just don't, you know, that's what I don't like about [NOISE] LADIES HOME JOURNAL magazines. Too many recipes, too many, uh, can this marriage with saved nonsense. I, you know, I like to read articles about things that matter. Well, of course, PEOPLE magazine is not, you know, one of your, uh,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] your more intellectual magazines, but it's nice, light reading [LAUGHTER]. You know, if I want something intellectual, I usually read a book.
[speaker001:] Well, that's true. I, uh, I like it [NOISE] when they have short stories. Like REDBOOK used to always have a good short story in it.
[speaker002:] Well, that's true, yeah, they did.
[speaker001:] And I haven't bought a REDBOOK in a while [NOISE], so I guess [LAUGHTER],
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I really very rarely ever pick up a magazine anymore [NOISE].
[speaker002:] Well, is REDBOOK still in existence? I don't know [LAUGHTER] if they're, if they're around anymore.
[speaker001:] Yeah [breathing]. I think it is. Surely, *slash error; one utt with utt4 it's an institution, surely it would have to be.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But,
[speaker002:] Well, I'll tell you, the only reason I bought the, uh, I subscribe to the JOURNAL is because of, which I think it was either, yeah, it was Publisher's Clearinghouse [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] Right [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] They told me, you know, if I didn't subscribe they were going to take me off their, their winning, you know, their list [LAUGHTER]. So,
[speaker001:] Mine, too [LAUGHTER]. This was it, my last chance [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah, my last, right, my last chance to win ten million dollars, so I figured, hey, look [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, I, I,
[speaker002:] For twelve dollars, you know,
[speaker001:] I went ahead and sent in my subscription because of that
[speaker002:] That's it.
[speaker001:] uh, to, uh, ENTERTAINMENT.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, oh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And I was real disappointed with it.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I don't know, it just, not enough stories with some substance that you can really get into.
[speaker002:] [Noise] Right.
[speaker001:] It's little short articles more than anything else.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And that's one thing I don't like about PEOPLE. Uh, it 's just, you know, doesn't seem to have enough story to it.
[speaker002:] Well, I don't know, I just think, uh, you know, it's,
[speaker001:] If you've only got a short time to read [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] It's light reading. You know, you don't have, well, you don't have to concentrate, you know [LAUGHTER] you know.
[speaker001:] No, that's true [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] It's entertaining, you know, and, uh, that's, I just, I enjoy it, I, you know, I, uh [NOISE]. Well, that ENTERTAINMENT is, is very, wasn't that similar, or isn't it similar to, to the TV GUIDE?
[speaker001:] Uh, [breathing], no, not really. I mean, not the one I take now. It's a, it's a magazine and it goes into all the movies, previewing the movies
[speaker002:] Oh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] that are going to be released or behind the scenes.
[speaker002:] Oh, I see.
[speaker001:] And, uh, I'm a real movie buff, so that's why I thought I might be interested in it, but it just hasn't been what I thought it would be.
[speaker002:] Oh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And, uh, my mother has subscribed to, is the reason I get, uh, the [NOISE] HOME JOURNAL and the, uh, computer book is because mother got a subscription for it and sent it to me.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] Otherwise, if, if I really want to take the time to read a magazine and I see one on the grocery shelf, I'll pick it up then.
[speaker002:] Right, right.
[speaker001:] Rather than having them delivered and think, oh, I really need to read this [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, I'll tell you, since I've been getting the JOURNAL, like maybe, maybe I'll read two, maybe three, if I read three articles in, in, you know, one of the JOURNALs, I figure, you know, I did really well.
[speaker001:] Yeah,
[speaker002:] Because there's just nothing in there that interests me. I don't, you know, I don't, I'm not into, you know, recipes and [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] Well, I, I do like recipes and crafts.
[speaker002:] See, now, and I'm not into crafts, so, you know, that, that eliminates, like three quarters of the magazine [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] You know.
[speaker001:] That's true.
[speaker002:] Well, I just got the new issue, they have Bette Midler on the cover, so that should be one article that I'll read anyway [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Do you, uh,
