FRED DICKER
Randy, I got a good question for you. I saw a story yesterday, about your good friend - I hate to mention his name-

RANDY CREDICO
[sounds deflated] I know.

DICKER
First initial is R. Last name is Stone. He may be being subpoenaed...by Congress, he's already testified once about any knowledge he might have of Russian interference in the U.S. election, in the last year, and what I saw, was that he might be pressed who his source, intermediary source, would have been. Who put him in touch with Julian Assange. As soon as I saw that, I thought - it must be Randy Credico!

CREDICO
You really think so, huh?

DICKER
Well, I thought- I thought so, you've talked on this show about your meetings with Julian Assange-

CREDICO
I met with him one time! I met with him one time.

DICKER
Well, you've had him on your radio show.

CREDICO
Yes! I had him on my show...

DICKER
And you're friendly with R. Stone, and he's blamed you in the past. You remember that incident, with Eliot Spitzer's father, and Stone tried to blame you, for making a salacious and threatening call?

CREDICO
Right. Who was that, that did that?

DICKER
Well, it wasn't you, we know that.

CREDICO
Right.

DICKER
It was obviously Roger Stone, and now...maybe you're gonna surface again. So, let me ask you the question, you're under oath. You're before Congress. You've been granted limited immunity. Are you, or are you not, the person who served as an intermediary for R. Stone? To get in touch with Julian Assange?

CREDICO
Well...uh, Mr. Schiff...let me just say this...have you, Mister Mr. Schiff...at long last, no sense of-

DICKER
Have you no _shame_.

CREDICO
-no sense of decency. Come on! This person with this Russia thing, it's over and it's dominating the news. It's really gone out of gas.

DICKER
Not so much anymore.

CREDICO
It's running- It's really running on fumes. And so...

DICKER
Yeah, it's fading.

CREDICO
That's why they're doing everything behind closed doors, because they sullied everybody's uh reputation, uh when it was public, now that there's a response, they want to do it private, and not release the transcripts. I find this to be...uh reprehensible.

DICKER
Randy, these stories are so ridiculous. And they're presented breathlessly. CNN had a story that the Russians, or Russian connected people spent a $150,000 dollars buying ads on Facebook, and other social media, to influence the election. As if that could influence an election. And then when you look at what the ads are for-

CREDICO
It couldn't even affect a city council-! Fred, that couldn't influence a city council race.

DICKER
And they've- There have been these major news organizations presenting this as if this is something serious.

CREDICO
A $150,000 dollars ad buy over three years, prior to Trump even announcing that he was running! I mean, it's just ridic- For them to run that story, Poke- Pokeman [sic], all of these, other cartoon vehicles using those [sic], uh to influence the election, you have to spend tens of millions of dollars-

DICKER
And even then, it may not work. But by the way - are you the intermediary - for R Stone? Or you're not going to answer that?

CREDICO
You'll have to contact my lawyer, Fred. I stand on the Fifth Amendment, alright? So...

DICKER
You have a right to invoke it.

CREDICO
[laughs] Right. I'm getting prepared. You know?

DICKER
Alright.

CREDICO
Who knows where the bottle will end? When he spins it. I have no idea.

DICKER
By the way, I hope he does name you. Because that would be terrific for your career.

CREDICO
Uh...do you think so?

DICKER
Absolutely. No doubt about it. It wouldn't be anything criminal. You have every right to put him in touch with Julian Assange - if you did. And then to be named would get you a lot of publicity. You don't mind publicity, do you? You're an entertainer-

CREDICO
No, Fred, I'm a quite shy, I'm withdrawn [DICKER laughs], and uh- I'm a wallflower, Fred. Just- I'm a potted plant.

DICKER
That's- That's-

CREDICO
In the words of my friend, Oliver St- Oliver North [he's actually quoting North's lawyer during the Iran-Contra hearings, who said "I am not a potted plant!" when Committee members brought up the lawyer's frequent interjections and consultations with North during testimony].

DICKER
Oliver Stone? He's got a little problem, too, I don't know if you saw that story, this morning. Someone's making an allegation against him, and it's interesting how all these, maybe, all these skeletons in Hollywood are coming to the fore. Thank you, Harvey Weinstein.
