Brick Quote #584
Brick: [into microphone] And remember... any more than three fonts in the same document, and you're just showing off.
Frankie: Hey, you doing your...
Brick: Shh. So, in conclusion, it's with a heavy heart that I announce that this will be my final FontCast. When I started on Monday, I was a different person. That first show was an incredible high, the second was a little less so, and by the third, well... I was just going through the motions. I've always said when I didn't have the joy anymore, I'd walk away. It wouldn't be fair to you, the fan, to keep going. I just want to thank you for allowing me into your home for the better part of a week. I leave you with this... Your choice of font says more about you than the words it's written in. If you're feeling bold, always italicize. And don't be afraid to let your freak font fly. I'm Brick Heck, and it has been my honor. [shuts laptop] [voice breaking] That was a little harder than I thought it'd be.
Frankie: Oh, hey, you were on longer than a lot of font shows. The important thing to remember is... [doorbell rings] [gasps] My table!

Quote from Axl
Axl: Dude, like, how many different things do we have to write checks for? Why is there even a gas bill? Hmm? You don't put gas in a house. It's not a car.
Hutch: What about water? Why should we pay for that? Stuff falls out of the sky for free.
Axl: Yeah. They're making money off God. That's just wrong.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [into microphone] Check, check. Hello? Hello?
Frankie: You're not trying to face-time the president again, are you?
Brick: No. That's ridiculous. I'm starting my own podcast.
Frankie: Hey, that could be fun.
Brick: It's for the people who are interested in fonts.
Frankie: Oh. Well, why don't you do that and the president thing and see who answers first.
Brick: [into microphone] Hi. I'm Brick Heck, and this is... "The FontCast"... Or "Footloose and Fontsy free." Still working on the title. Feel free to call in with suggestions. Today's topic is the raging debate of font versus typeface and Times New Roman's place in all of it. And then, in our last segment, we'll get into the issue of kerning, which, for those of you who don't know... [chuckling] As if... is the spacing between characters. Now, this is a very hot topic inside of the font community...
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Hey, Brick. How's the podcast going?
Brick: I got to tell you, it's a real grind. You got to churn out show after show after show.
Frankie: Haven't you only done like three?
Brick: Yeah. Show after show after show.
Mike: What are you doing it for, then?
Brick: Well, I do it for the fan. Without the fan, I'm nothing. You'd better finish up that vacuuming. I'm gonna have a hot mic in a minute. We're talking Garamond today. How am I gonna get fired up for that?
