She’s a pretty girl.PETERSON: Oh yeah, without a doubt.MULLER: I would be hitting on her if I was single, Drew. I would make a run for that.PETERSON: I can’t take her anywhere.MULLER: You’ve known her since she was fifteen.PETERSON: Right.

MULLER: but you didn’t think of her in that way, I mean, you thought of her as alittle kid.

I have nodoubt. If guys like Geraldo would quit pumping him up and trying to get him tosensationalize...MULLER: How did you feel about being on here with Geraldo?PETERSON: He’s kind of a creepy guy so I probably didn’t like it at all.BUG: Do you mind if I just jump in here a little bit?MULLER: No, go ahead. This is my cameraman from Fox, Bug. Yeah.BUG: A couple things. First, one, there are e-harmony, all these match companies,online dating and whatnot and Drew, take this with all due respect, but I wouldimagine having a woman like this, meeting a woman like this, and then beingengaged to her, would be a challenge for a guy like you. I don’t know how this guydoes it. I mean, you have the worst media, you have a reputation that’s not the bestbecause of what’s going on in your life, and yet he’s able to score this.MULLER: Drew, Drew, Drew …BUG: And I’m going to say this. What is the fascination here?CASSIDY: Ask Chrissy!MULLER: You went to church with me.PETERSON: Yes, I did.MULLER: We walked into church together. We walked out of church together. Therewere some people yelling. I hate to say this in front of Chrissy, there were somepeople yelling, “Murderer!” and being hateful to you.PETERSON: Sure.
