The weekly "At Your Beck and Call" segment took place on Thursday instead of its usual Friday slot. O'Reilly started by asking Beck to confirm, as has been reported this week, that he will be launching a new Internet TV channel called "GBTV."
"Very snappy Beck!" O'Reilly joked. "It rhymes and everything."
"We haven't announced anything," Beck said. O'Reilly scoffed at this, saying the news was "all over the Internet." He asked if there would be a "theme" to the channel.
"All cartoons," Beck said, naming "The Adventures of Spooky Dude" as one possibility.
The two then talked about Beck's other new venture, his online deals site Markdown.com. Beck said he wanted to help small entrepreneurs by highlighting their products. O'Reilly said he was impressed.
"This could be canonization for you, Beck," he said.

O'Reilly also mocked Beck throughout the entire interview—telling him he should start a new clothing line called "Apocalypse Now," saying that, if he were to join Beck's channel, he would have to be paid "in gold," and going after Beck's weight.
After Beck joked that a chocolate website was paying him in chocolate, but that O'Reilly would be paid in carrots, O'Reilly said, "you see the difference between my physique—"
"This isn't going well for me," Beck said, eventually being rendered speechless by O'Reilly's continual jibes.

Is it really any wonder that O’Reilly would take shots at Beck? Bill would eat his young if it would get him ratings. Here he is on his own show, jabbing at someone who he calls his friend, and as always it’s about the ratings. This is what you can expect when you put two mean-spirited and sarcastic talking heads at the same table and turn on the microphones.
