That's why I'm a word guy. 115 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 6: Because eighty seven percent of the Christmas decorations, including the 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 6: trees that we use here, it comes from China. So 117 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 6: call it the Tannin boumb tariff if you like, because 118 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 6: it's helping to drive up the cost of all the 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 6: decorations that overall decor about thirty percent, and Christmas trees 120 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 6: twenty percent.

Some farms have had a 130 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 6: really good growing season or several seasons. Takes about seven 131 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 6: years to grow a tree that's tall enough and big 132 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 6: enough and pretty enough to take home. Seven years and 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 6: then you throw it out at the end of the season. 134 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 6: But yeah, thirty million natural Christmas trees are gold around 135 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 6: the country. Top producing states Oregon and North Carolina. 136 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: I always get mine from Oregon because I don't think 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: many from North Carolina make it to the West coast. 138 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 6: Probably not. That's why they're on either side of the country. 139 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 6: And the average Christmas tree, according to some of the farms, 140 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 6: will be around one hundred and twenty one hundred and 141 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 6: thirty dollars for that six and a half seven foot tree. 142 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 6: You know how you can get one for five dollars, 143 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 6: No christs for zero.

What actually happened and is 281 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: it back up and running now? 282 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 7: It's back up and running and it was back up 283 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 7: and running yesterday around twelve eastern So what is that 284 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 7: here at nine am? So here's what happened. Basically, cloud 285 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 7: Flare acts as like the backbone of the Internet. It 286 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 7: helps websites deliver their content faster, keeps like you know, 287 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 7: hackers and bots out and so basically they just pushed 288 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 7: through a little tiny update, like a little configuration change, 289 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 7: and that file just kept getting bigger and bigger, and 290 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 7: it was like just literally pulling down all of their 291 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 7: systems until they figured out what was going on. And 292 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 7: that's what happened. So they said, this is not a 293 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 7: cybersecurity issue, This was not a hack. It was just 294 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 7: literally a mistake on their end. They fixed it, they 295 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 7: got it back up and running. But in between that time, 296 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 7: as you know, you probably came across a million and 297 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 7: one error issues on your websites that you visit. Because 298 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 7: cloud Flare is the power behind so many websites out 299 00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 7: there on the Internet. 300 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of these big outages are 301 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: happening when they push out updates. 302 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 7: And yeah, well here's the deal. The stakes, the stakes 303 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 7: are so much higher now. If you make a mistake, 304 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 7: it's basically taking down large swaths of the Internet because 305 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 7: so much of the Internet is controlled by Amazon, by Google, 306 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 7: by Microsoft, by cloud Flare, by these content delivery networks 307 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 7: that you probably haven't heard of. But they're all behind 308 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 7: the scenes until something like this happens. Remember the CrowdStrike thing. 309 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 7: So these are all systems that are put in place 310 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 7: by these large companies to sort of protect them from 311 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 7: stuff like this. But if there's a mistake in the 312 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 7: software programming, then it backfires. 313 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: Okay, but everything's back up and running in normal now, 314 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: so you can play your League of Legends or League whatever. 315 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, go on chat GBT. 316 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of chat GPT, the Ultimate shopping buddy this year 317 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: might be AI.

Okay, let's talk 370 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: about passwords for twenty twenty. 371 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 7: Five still really bad? Are you using a password manager yet? Amy, 372 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 7: I know we've talked about them. 373 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: I have one, but like those really wonky passwords like 374 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: I use, here's my issue with this. I've got passwords 375 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: that I use for a website, say, and I use 376 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: it on my phone and I use it on my laptop. 377 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: So if I save it on my password manager on 378 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: my phone, how am I going to know what it 379 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: is on my laptop? 380 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 7: You've got that, And that's the reason why I really 381 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 7: like a third party password manager. So like a platform 382 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 7: agnostic which is Bitwarden that is free. It is excellent, 383 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 7: it works everywhere if you're using you know, Apple passwords 384 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 7: on your iPhone. Like you said, yes, you can install 385 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 7: a helper app on your computer if it's Windows to 386 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 7: make that work, but it's not as clean as a 387 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 7: as a company that cares about all the different platforms. 388 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 7: Apple only cares about Apple. So anyway, at the bottom 389 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 7: line is use a password manager. I don't really care 390 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 7: which one, but just get into the habit. It takes 391 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 7: a little bit longer, but America's number one password according 392 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 7: to nord pass is still admin YEP. Number two is 393 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 7: password globally one, two, three, four, five, six is still 394 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 7: you know, the laziest password out there. And the bottom 395 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 7: line is eighty percent of hacks happen because of week passwords. 396 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 7: So please, please, please use a password manager. I know 397 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 7: it's a pain, but just. 398 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: Do it, all right.

But in reality it was much 508 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: more complicated than that. Uh. 509 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is the weird part of being 510 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: you know, uh, being raised in the family with Leonard 511 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 3: Nimoy and being the son of Leonardiemoy is that it's 512 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 3: this it's this combin you know, these incredible experiences like 513 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 3: being on the set where that picture was taken, and 514 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: having a myriad of experiences with my dad because of 515 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 3: his tremendous success, but coupled with episodes and regular episodes, 516 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 3: have flat out verbal conflict with him because we didn't 517 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: have the tools to resolve any differences of opinion that 518 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: we had with one another. 519 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: And so I got the feeling from reading the book 520 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: that your dad kind of was Spock. Do you get 521 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: that feeling too, Yeah. 522 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of Leonard and Spock, and there's 523 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: a lot of Spock and Leonards. Yeah, this was the 524 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: issue I had with my dad growing up. He was 525 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 3: a very kind of reserved, introverted, introspective, remote, distant, cool 526 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: kind of person. He was not a warman, busy guy. 527 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: My mother played the role of the warm and fuzzy parent. Yeah, 528 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: and then, and so I had trouble relating to him 529 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: as a kid. Then when the Spock years came and 530 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 3: he was talking about the fact many times he talked 531 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: about you have trouble getting in and out of character. Now, 532 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 3: not only did I have Leonard to deal with at home, 533 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 3: I had Spot living with us at home. So yeah, 534 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they're very you know, there's it's just 535 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 3: it's hard to separate the two, it really is sometimes. 536 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: And we've got a lot more to talk with Adam about. 537 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: If you can hold on Adam. We also have a 538 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: couple of his books, The Most Human to give away. 539 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: It's a really good read. So to stay right where 540 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: you are. Time to get in your business now with 541 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Alexis Christopher Is. Good morning, Alexis. 542 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 11: Good morning, Amy. 543 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: I enjoyed that interview just now me too, And there's 544 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: more to come. And he's he's really really an interesting guy. 545 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: I got this news this morning, was flashing on my 546 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: ap screen that target had a really not great report. 547 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 7: Yeah. 548 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 11: For years now, they've been trying to turn things around 549 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 11: with their sales, and it looks like, you know, this 550 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 11: turnaround push that they've been trying for is going to 551 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 11: take more time. They're now committing a total of five 552 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 11: billion dollars to turn things around next year at their stores. 553 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 11: They're going to pour that money into giving their stores 554 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 11: a facelift, bringing in what they call more exciting merchandise. 555 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 11: You know, a lot of people are complaining that their 556 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 11: stores are messy and the store and the store shelves 557 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 11: are not stocked at Target, so they want to turn that. 558 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 11: They want to turn that around. They said, Look, fewer 559 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 11: shoppers visited our stores, and when they did, they spent 560 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 11: less time in them. So Target's sort of a unique situation. 561 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 11: It's other retailers are not going through it in quite 562 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 11: the same way Target is. 563 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, And I will say that I've 564 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: noticed the change too. I used to just love going 565 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: to Target, and I don't love it anymore. It has 566 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: I feel the same way. Yeah, Okay. Mortgage rates they 567 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: were going down for a while, but not so much anymore. 568 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 11: No, so they've been moving up now for the past 569 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 11: few weeks. And you know what's interesting, Once those mortgage 570 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 11: rates start to creep up, you start to see mortgage 571 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 11: applications fall. So mortgage applications fell about two percent last 572 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 11: week for people buying a home. But even folks who 573 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 11: were looking to refinance this mortgage applications are now down 574 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 11: by five percent. So you've got mortgage rates now at 575 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 11: their highest level in about a month, still better than 576 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 11: where they were a year ago. But you know, we 577 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 11: have a lot of buyers still on the sidelines because prices, 578 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 11: I mean are still so high, even though maybe financing 579 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 11: the home is not as expensive as it was just 580 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 11: a year ago. I mean, with the average home price 581 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 11: now topping four hundred thousand dollars, it's just out of 582 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 11: reach for so many people. 583 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: Amy all right, Bloomberg's Alexis Christophers, thanks so much for 584 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: the update today.

The man accused of 586 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: starting a fire on New Year's Eve that smoldered for 587 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: a week and exploded into the deadly Palisades Fire will 588 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: remain behind bars while he awaits trial. A judge denied 589 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan Rindernick's request for pre trial release. Prosecutors said he 590 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: was a flight risk. The judge agreed. The University of 591 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: California Board of Regents votes today on a tuition hike. 592 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: Student government leaders from all nine UC undergraduate campuses are 593 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: planning to protest outside the meeting at UCLA. The UC 594 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: Student ass which represents about two undred thirty six thousand 595 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: undergrads from Davis to San Diego, says debt is not 596 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: a right of patch passage. The Port of Los Angeles 597 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: is closing in on a milestone, on pace to move 598 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: ten million containers in a year for the third time. 599 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: That's something no other Western Hemisphere port has achieved, even once. 600 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Cargo traffic was down six percent year over year at 601 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: the port in October, just minutes away from Handle. On 602 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: the news this morning, the Epstein files could soon be released. 603 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: Bill's going to weigh in on that. We're talking with 604 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: Adam Nimoy this morning, the author of The Most Human 605 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: Reconciling with my father, Leonard Nimoy. Fascinating story about Adam 606 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: and his famous dad. Adam. I loved the book and 607 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: how you not only talk about your life experiences, but 608 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: then you also mix in Star Trek references and as 609 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: a huge Star Trek fan, I really appreciate that. But 610 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: it also shows how much of a role Star Trek 611 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 1: played in your lives, even though the original show itself 612 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: only lasted for three seasons. 613 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is another part of the legacy 614 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 3: of Star Trek. It's still going. We're in year fifty 615 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: nine now, sixty years next year of the airing of 616 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 3: the original series, and it's still resonating with people because 617 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 3: it's a positive message of the future, and I think 618 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 3: people are really gloming onto that, particularly now when we 619 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: lived in such polarized times. But yeah, this has kind 620 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 3: of been the right with being you know in the 621 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 3: NME Why Family. The legacy just goes on. There's images 622 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 3: of Spot everywhere I traveled the world, and I see 623 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 3: images as I was in Barcelona a couple of years 624 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 3: ago and there's an image of Spock in a Matador 625 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 3: outfit in a store window. I mean, it's just it's everywhere. 626 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 3: It's so iconic, this character you created, and of course 627 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 3: the series continues on. So it's just been amazing. I mean, 628 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: I think it's surprised everybody involved that the series we 629 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 3: would still continue to resonate with people today. 630 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing about this book is it really 631 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: shares like some inspirational moments and also some very painful moments. 632 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: And one of the things that you shared was an 633 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: email that you got from your dad in two thousand 634 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: and six. I think you had said you had send 635 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: him a picture of him on stage, and his response 636 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: was an email, and I was thinking it was the 637 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: first punch of a one to two punch, because then 638 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: you got another email. Can you share part of that 639 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: with us? 640 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, I mean this is at a point in 641 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: time where my dad and I were pretty much a 642 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 3: strength from each other. We were both The conflict we 643 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 3: had for thirty years was kind of exacerbated by the 644 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 3: fact that my dad was drinking and I was pretty 645 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 3: much a pottheaded wakem Baker daily. Those elements were no 646 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 3: longer in our lives. My dad had got sober in 647 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 3: the nineties. My sobriety birthday is Anuary first, two thousand 648 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 3: and four, but by two thousand and six not much 649 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 3: had changed between us. I mean, you take out the 650 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 3: drugs and alcohol, but with that the tools of recovery, 651 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 3: we were really still in a kind of a rut 652 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 3: with one another. And my dad was still pretty angry 653 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 3: with me, that we were disengaged and just estranged from 654 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 3: one another. So when I reached out to him, his 655 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 3: response my dad really wanted any engagement with me, and 656 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 3: if it was negative engagement, that was okay with him. 657 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 3: And so he basically wrote me a long letter of 658 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 3: why he felt that I was a disappointment to him 659 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 3: and that I was the problem in the relationship with him. 660 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 3: He just had a lot of anger and resentment that 661 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 3: had been built up over the years. I mean, unfortunately, 662 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: a lot of the things that he wrote in the 663 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 3: letter about me were true. I made a lot of 664 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: mistakes and I had a lot of mishaps, and there 665 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 3: were a number of times when he tried to help 666 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 3: me with my career and it didn't turn out the 667 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 3: way we both thought it would and should. But the 668 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 3: letter really provided me with an opportunity to grow personally 669 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 3: by making amends to him for all the things that 670 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: I was told to do. This in recovery, that's what 671 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 3: we do. I just tried to take the responsibility for 672 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 3: my part in the failure of our relationship. And it 673 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 3: was when I went to him with that letter and 674 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 3: apologized to him everything in it that everything started to 675 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 3: change between the two of us and we started to 676 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: rebuild our relationship. 677 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: That was such a powerful thing in the book, and 678 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 1: I hope that, you know, the people who are listening 679 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: to you now will read the book, because it really 680 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: was a beautifully told story. And like I said that 681 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: one two punch, I mean I got kicked in the 682 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: gut when you did when you were telling me about it, 683 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: and then how you ultimately resolved it and kind of 684 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 1: got back on track with your dad. I just thought 685 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: it was so cool. And there's a part in the 686 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: book where you're talking about leaving the house that you 687 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: had spent so many years in that your kids grew 688 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: up in, and then ultimately you had to leave so 689 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: everyone could kind of move on with their lives. And 690 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: your daughter, Mattie said something as you were leaving that 691 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: seems to sort of be a recurring theme of the book, 692 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: and that's that you can't have joy without experiencing sadness. 693 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: And that just hit home with me too. I thought 694 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: that that was kind of profound for a kid. 695 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I appreciate your saying that, yeah, because I mean, 696 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 3: this is the whole point is that she was working 697 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 3: through feelings that she had and it's not it wasn't bad. 698 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 3: You know, it's okay to have those feelings. This was 699 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 3: the problem that my dad and I were, you know, 700 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 3: suffering from for years, is that we were both numbing ourselves, 701 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 3: self medicating ourselves and not feeling stuff like this and 702 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 3: not working through it and talking about it and communicating 703 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 3: and connecting. And that was the kind of the dysfunction 704 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 3: I was trying to break with my own kids, to 705 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 3: be pressed for them by being sober, having experiences like 706 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,879 Speaker 3: this where we could really process it together, go through 707 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: it together, and you know, and know that we're not alone. 708 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 3: I mean, even though her mother and I split up, 709 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 3: I'm still very close to you, my ex wife, because 710 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 3: we it's really important that we stay connected and that 711 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 3: we have we work through this stuff together. That's the whole. 712 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 3: I think that's the message. So I really appreciate you know, 713 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 3: you're pointing out that point of part of it, because 714 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 3: that was really, you know, part of the emphasis of 715 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 3: what I was trying to accomplish with my own kids. 716 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: Cool, Okay, Adam, what do you think your dad would 717 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: think of this book? 718 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 3: Well, I think he'd appreciate it, you know, I mean uh, I, 719 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 3: you know, really in the end, I'm celebrating the fact 720 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 3: that that really uh figured it out. I mean, you know, 721 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 3: I have some personal tragedy that happens near the end 722 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 3: of the book, and my dad showed up for me. 723 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 3: He became the parent I needed him to be. I 724 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 3: think he was very proud of the fact that he 725 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 3: could be present from me finally in my life. I mean, 726 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 3: he himself admitted that that being you know, in the 727 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 3: you know, supporting the family, being involved with the family, 728 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 3: connected with the family was not a priority for him 729 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 3: when he was in the Star Trek years. He was 730 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 3: just trying to focus on his career and get something 731 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 3: going because you know, it was a hustle for him. 732 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 3: It was before Star Trek we were very hand them 733 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 3: out family might. We just didn't have a lot of 734 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 3: economic security. So later in life things changed for my 735 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 3: dad and he really came through. He became the father 736 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 3: and needed him to be. And I think that's really 737 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: what the celebration of the book is about. And I 738 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 3: think he'd be pretty happy with that message. 739 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. I love that. Okay, So I 740 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: got to tell you before I let you go that 741 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: I learned something in your book. It's on page two 742 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: seventeen when you were teaching your wife Martha some Yiddish 743 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: and that is Laverne and Shirley hated their company because 744 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: I didn't know what Schlamiel and Schlamazl meant until I 745 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: read your book. 746 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well I'm glad I couldn't lighten you.
