This is our last episode season one, Six 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.680 Degrees with Kevin Bacon. I can't believe we have done this. 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.360 This was a germ of an idea, it came together. 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:32.159 I can't believe we're here. We've had amazing guests. Oh 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:37.120 my gosh, so many interesting conversations that we've had with people. 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:47.000 I've learned so much doing this, and also the responses 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:54.080 that I've got have not only been you know a 0:00:54.120 --> 0:01:01.360 lot of them abroad, but also like people really touched 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.640 or people affected by something that they heard, which is 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.000 really what we wanted to do, right Stacey, Stacy Houston 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.000 is here with me as usual for Ask Kevin Almost Anything. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.160 Stacy Houston, who is the executive director of six degrees 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:16.800 dot Org. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:22.039 Welcome, Thanks for having me. Yeah, it's it's been an 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.399 amazing season and we've we've had such an outworring of 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:32.959 support and just positive thoughts and comments and you know, 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.000 new friends and old friends, and it's just been so 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:37.559 much fun. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.559 Yeah, it really has been. It really has been. And 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.959 and and you know, as a we we've had our 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.800 regular podcast with celebrity guests. We've also added this kind 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:56.360 of fun version of it, which is Ask Kevin almost Anything, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.800 where people are sending in questions you know that are 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.040 sometimes related to charitable things and sometimes not, you know, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.799 just things that they want to know from me. And 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.440 for me, it's it's it's really fun because you know, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.960 a lot of times you do as a as an entertainer, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.480 when you're trying to promote things, you do interviews, and 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.480 you do those interviews with with journalists, whether they're you know, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.639 working for a newspaper or they're on the talk show 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:33.000 or whatever, but they they have a journalistic point of view. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.680 And even when I've gone and done you know, uh, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.360 Q and A's my favorite part of a Q and A, 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.680 even if it's a great interviewer, is always the things 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.800 that I hear from the audience. Whenever the the you know, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.000 the questions are opened up to the audience. And to me, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.840 that's what Ask Kevin almost Anything is it's kind of 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.960 like opening up the questions to an audience to people 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.120 who aren't journalists, people who are you know, just regular 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.400 people want to hear about stuff, real questions, real questions, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.880 real questions, real talk. What do you think should we 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:13.360 jump in? 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.480 All right? So yeah, we should jump in. So this 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.040 episode is, like you said, our last and so we 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.480 had just such an outpouring of questions where people you know, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.399 went onto the six degrees dot org site forwards last 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.320 asked Kevin and they left voice smails or they submitted 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.640 text where they dm'd us. And so this is our 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.920 attempt to try to get as many and as possible 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:43.280 in this last short episode. So bear with me. We're 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.880 going to go through as many as we can here. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.520 But it should be fun, all right. So the first 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.800 one is kind of like a two parter from Lisa 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.080 Thomas and her question. The first part is what was 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.640 it like to hear the six degrees games for the 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:01.360 very first time? 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.640 Oh well, Lisa, thank you for the question. I can 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:14.120 tell you that the six degrees picture a world where 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:20.480 there was no social media picture, a world where the 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.400 idea of something being viral really just had to do 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:32.640 with you know, a cold. You know, there wasn't the 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:38.960 Internet existed, but not to the extent that it does now, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.600 no smartphones, for instance. And I just started to kind 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.760 of hear about this idea of the Six Degrees of 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:55.080 Kevin Bacon. People would say to me, Hey, my friend's 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.479 cousin invented a game about you, or I'd say what, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:01.719 Or they'd come up to me and say, I'm so 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.479 hungover because I was playing your game last night. And 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.840 I really didn't know what it was. And they started 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.920 to explain to me that it was a drinking game 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.279 that they were playing, where, you know, where you took 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.800 an actor and that actor had to be in a 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.960 movie that was in another movie with another actor in 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.840 that movie and another actor, and that you had to 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.120 connect it back to me in six degrees or less. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.800 And I was like, I don't, I don't even know 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.640 what this is. And frankly, I was kind of horrified 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.359 by it. I don't it was imposter syndrome. I thought. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.320 I thought that the joke of the game was that 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.359 can you believe that a lightweight like this can be 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.200 connected to any of the great actors in history, you know, 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.279 Lawrence Olivier or whoever it was, Meryl Streep or whatever. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:56.919 I also heard Howard Stern talking about it. I was 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.479 I would listen to Howard Stern, you know, in the 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:04.600 Every Morning Learning and he was on the radio started 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.840 out as you know, as a New York you know, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.159 that's where I first discovered when it was he was 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.279 local to New York. But and then he started talking 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.400 about six degrees Kevin Big and I was like, whoa, 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.200 what's that? And then there was a John Stewart had 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.600 a nighttime show and I went on as a guest, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:28.920 and unbeknownst to me, they hadn't asked these young men 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:34.640 from Albright College in Pennsylvania to be also be guests 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.640 on the John Stewart Show. And they were the college 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.799 kids who had, you know, come up with the idea 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.040 of this game. And I was like, I didn't like it. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.360 Let me put it that way. I didn't like it. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.800 And over the years I just I thought to myself, 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.040 well it's just going to go away, and it just 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.120 didn't go away, you know, just it just hung in there. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.599 And eventually I decided to, you know, embrace the beast. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.320 You know, if you can't beat them, join them. And 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:12.280 that's when we created six degrees dot org and and 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.520 decided to take you know, something that was was quickly 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.880 becoming sort of like a brand, its own version of 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:27.000 a brand, and turned into something positive. Her second part 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.000 of the question looks like from Lisa is if I 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:38.040 know any celebrity who hasn't been associated with me? I'm 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.440 not sure. I mean, I mean, technically the game is 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.040 not really about associating. It's more about like how many 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.600 if I've worked with somebody, have they been in a 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.800 movie with somebody else who's been in a movie with me? 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.280 Or you know, how long many steps? But I can 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.160 tell you that based on the amount of movies that 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.720 I've done, any amount of people that have been in 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.400 the in the movies that I've done, I've done a 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.280 lot of movies, a lot lot of big casts, you know, 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.760 like like you know, uh JFK or something which is 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.960 like such an ensemble it's pretty hard to get past 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.760 maybe two or three degrees at this point. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.160 I think I've heard people ask that before, and I've 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.200 always wondered, like if someone has been able to say, like, 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.600 no one's connected. But I think they say that, like 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.920 we might not be connected by six degrees anymore. It 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.960 might be more like five degrees. Yeah, just because there's 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:28.840 so many people. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.240 Yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely, you know, and and and as 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.800 I've said before, you know, the thing about six degrees 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.200 and six degrees dot org is when you take me 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.760 out of it, the concept is a beautiful concept because 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.480 it means that all of us who are riding on 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:56.079 this planet do have connections. And you know, connections are 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.680 the things that, hopefully, if we can try to remember them, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.480 will inspire us to not hurt each other. You know. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:10.040 That's that's that's the good side, that's the good part 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.040 of what this game could be. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:22.679 All right. I question number two Priscilla Hessner, and her 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.960 question is what was your favorite movie and leading lady 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:27.680 to work with? 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.200 Wow? Okay, well, I have to say Kiras Edgewick because 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.640 otherwise I'll get you, I'll get in trouble. But taking 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:42.760 her out of the equation, I'll start with favorite movie. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:47.079 You know, it's funny, Priscilla, I don't really have favorite movies. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.199 I have a weird association with my movies because I 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.000 see them. I see them once or twice when I 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.760 make them, and then I kind of put them the 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.720 best and I don't really look at them anymore. So 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:11.199 my feelings about them are more related to the experience 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.920 that I had making them. Like when I think of 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.640 something like you know, uh, tremors, for instance, what I 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.840 think about is my wife being pregnant, being in the desert, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:32.000 the sunsets, the the heat, you know, the the the 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.520 pizza place in the small town of Lone Pine. I 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.680 don't think about the actual movie that much. It's it's 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.679 I remember, you know, my shoes or something like that. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.960 So so I can't really say that I have a favorite. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.559 And it's also you know, I look at movies differently 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.320 if I'm not in them. You know, if you ask 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.520 me for our list of, you know, my five favor movies, 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.160 it would be hard to do, but I would definitely 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.360 be able to think about it. But I but I 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.880 couldn't make a list of five favorite Kevin Bacon movies. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.200 I think that would just be weird. I don't know, 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.160 it just wouldn't feel right to me. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.000 So then what would be one of your favorite movies 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.000 doesn't have to be like the number one favorite movie. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.000 But if you had to say, like this film that 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.040 you watched that you weren't in, was something that was 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.319 like very memorable, Okay, well moved you in a certain way, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:27.959 like what is that? 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.280 Gosh, there's so many, but I love Spinal Tap. That's 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.880 one of my favorite movies ever. And obviously because I 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.760 have associations with music and with touring, and but I 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.960 also thought that it was just absolutely hilarious. I'm so 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.880 excited that they're making another one. You know what I 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.160 just watched the other day, just kind of randomly care 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.839 I wanted to watch. It was Dog Day Afternoon. Boy. 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.679 What a good movie that is. Al Pacino, John Cassal 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:08.760 just absolutely Sidney Lamet directing, shot in New York in 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.280 the seventies, just an amazing movie. Ordinary people we were 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.559 talking about the other day, so great. You know, I'm 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.359 a little bit nostalgic about the movies of the seventies 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:25.600 because when I became an actor moved to New York 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.959 was nineteen seventy six, and so you know, those were 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.800 the movies that I and the people that I was 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:36.200 looking up to so much. Midnight Cowboy, Oh my gosh, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.560 Dustin Hoffman, John Voight, amazing. I mean I look at 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.600 the list goes on and on. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.480 That's your great I mean, yeah, no, it's gonna say 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.079 that you hit on something because you're talking about how 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.840 you think about movies and kind of like what was 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.640 happening at that time. That's like our human connection to 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.880 something It's the same way with music, right, Like, if 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.280 I say this song is my favorite, it's really because 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.440 of like what was happening in my life and how 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.920 that song got me through it sure, or reminds me 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.480 of like this really happy, fun time. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.000 Right. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.200 So it's kind of that that emotional connection that we 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.120 make with art generally. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.680 I think, yeah, soundtrack of our lives and and and 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.640 always always goes back to where what our emotional connection 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.680 was at that time. But that's one of the great 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:36.600 things about making creating art, you know, is that you know, 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.839 every once in a while you can someone will It's 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.680 one thing when somebody says, hey, I really you know, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.319 I liked you in that movie. It's another thing when 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.120 somebody says that movie really helped me when I was 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.560 going through a rough time, or or it made me 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.679 realize whatever, you know what I mean. It's pretty it's 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.600 a pretty cool thing that happens not all but but 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.439 once in a while, once in a while. Yeah, she 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:15.760 also wants to know what was my favorite leading lady. Uh, Well, 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.640 let's see, I mean, I don't know if this really 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:25.640 applies because I was a bad guy and and and 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.400 and she was the hero and spoiler alert, she ends 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.800 up killing me. But I would say Meryl Streep. I mean, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.560 you know, I I I always loved her work. I 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:42.600 think that she is you know, singular in that she 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:48.280 a lot of us aspire to a level of, you know, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.160 try to become a chameleon in in our work and 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.800 then the parts that we do and try to keep 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.400 people surprised and switch it up every time. And I 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.000 don't know that anybody is really done, not quite like Meryll. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.800 I mean, I think she's just you know, has embodied 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.200 so many different kinds of people, uh, and from all 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.480 kind of walks of life and all, you know, places 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.880 all over the world, and you know, she's just you know, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.760 kind of kind of a master and also one of 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:20.520 the most pleasant people to to work with. And we 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.440 had a lot of scenes together, and uh, this is 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.600 a movie called The River Wild where I was you know, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.120 basically you know, kidnapped her and you know, so it's 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.440 I don't think i'd quite call it a leading lady, 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.480 but but she was the lead, and she was a lady, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.080 So I'll go with Meryl. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.440 That's awesome. It's good to hear that she is as 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:46.280 great to work with as as you say, because you 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.520 know the whole don't meet your heroes thing. You always 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.080 want to hope that they're as wonderful as they they 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:52.920 seem like they are. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:59.160 Right, Yeah, totally, totally, And and I don't often get 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.000 intimidate by actors, you know, I get much more intimidated 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.680 by meeting, you know, or playing with you know, famous musicians. 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:12.640 But actors, you know, I don't know, they don't normally 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:18.800 scare me. But you know, meeting her and going to 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.200 our first table read, and I was not a kid. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.240 I mean I already done a bunch of movies. I 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:28.920 mean a ton of movies. It was like, oh boy, 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.160 whoa this is like? And you know what she does 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.920 is she just creates an environment right away where everybody 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.160 knows that we are all in this together and then 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.120 we're going to roll up our sleeves and we're going 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.880 to get to work on making this the best movie 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.840 that we possibly can. Like, like, there's no there's not 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:55.520 a moment of well, I'm the you know, I'm the star, 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.040 I'm running the show. You know she is. She's very 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.200 And it has to do with theater. You know, when 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.000 somebody is really aware that you have to play the 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.199 play or in this case, the screenplay that all the 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.199 pieces have to be working and then includes all the 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.720 other actors. So, yeah, she was great. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:13.840 It's fun. Do you want to read the next one? 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.879 Oh? It says, do I have to? You're an incredible 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.520 actor and first remember seeing you in a footloose? Are 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.080 you ever coming to Cincinnati, Ohio? Now I refuse to 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.080 come to Cincinnati. I will never come to Cincinnati, Ohio. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.080 I've been to Cincinnati many times. What are you talking about? 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.760 I mean, that's part of the great thing about having 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:39.840 the Bacon Brothers band is that I don't let's say, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.240 we haven't played in Alaska, we haven't played in Puerto Rico. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.879 I don't know if there's many more states that we 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.199 haven't played in with the band. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:53.200 You played in Hawaii? 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:59.720 We played in Hawaii. Yeah, and maybe one of the 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.159 dec otis I'm not sure. I get. I know that 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.160 we played in at least one Dakota, but which one 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:11.080 it was? I forget? But but yeah, no, I love 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.800 I love you know. Cincinnati is awesome. I'm trying to 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.399 think what the name of the club is there that 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.000 we played. So yes, we will no doubt be rolling 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:25.919 through again. And I haven't shot anything in Cincinnati. I 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:33.240 shot a movie in Cleveland. But probably people in Cincinnati 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.120 when they heard me say I shot a movie in Cleveland, 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:39.760 they rolled their eyes. Yeah, exactly right, exactly. 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.800 Yeah, I think Ohio, I don't did This year they're 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:50.200 having the the eclipse, you know, the total totality eclipse 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.280 is happening again this year. Are you aware of that 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.520 happened like seven years ago. Yeah. Yeah. My husband and 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.800 I we drove down to Tennessee. It's like eleven hours 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.240 so that we could stand in a field in the 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.200 middle of like nowhere for a minute and a half 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.640 and see this eclipse. And I will tell you it 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.440 was life changing. It was one of the coolest things 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:21.399 I ever did. And it was it was we were 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.840 in the middle of like a you know, the wilderness, 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.239 and we were in front of a lake, and when 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:30.399 the eclipse happens, everything goes dark, of course, right, and 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.480 you can take off your glasses and look up and 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.440 you just see like that rained around the sun and 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.280 everything in the wilderness just like got quiet. All like 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.560 the locusts that usually hear the chirping stops and then 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.920 all these fish started jumping just straight. 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:49.240 Out of the lake. 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:50.800 It was wild. 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:51.679 It was wow. 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.640 Really you start realizing right in that moment just how 0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:01.720 that's all interconnected and how you know, wildlife response to 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.760 those types of things. But this year, because it's seven 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.800 years later, we kind of were tracking it and like 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.960 any time it's happening in the US, we're going to 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.200 go to it. And it's going like I want to say, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.120 through Texas all the way up through Maine, but part 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.040 of it goes through Ohio, which is why I'm telling 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.560 you the story coming back to you. 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.800 So you have to be exactly at the right lab 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.240 fut or whatever it is. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.120 Some people will go like close enough and they'll see. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.440 Like a partial I remember this, Yeah. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.639 Just do the totality. It's like, and this one is 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.000 going to be like four and a half minutes, so 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.920 it's like much longer that you get kind of experience. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.399 But I want to say, it's actually going through like 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.199 totalities happening in Cleveland. 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.440 Oh wow, but you have to you have to pray 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.440 for a sunny day. 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.840 Yeah, that's actually what happened with this last one. We 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:00.440 were going to be going to North Carolina, which is 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.360 a lot closer, and then a storm started moving in 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.359 and we were like no, no, no, no, So we just 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.560 like hooked to turn and drove into Tennessee. 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.160 And you guys are so cool. That is so great. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.680 I mean it's like pre kids, right, you're like kids, 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.679 right right, And we did this disbursement camping just like 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:23.880 on the side of the of the road. We found 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:28.639 this farm and they were like, come on in thirty dollars, 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.000 you can stay here and to use our showers. It 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:33.480 was like and I was like, okay, this is a 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.719 little Tennessee, Like so are we are? 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:36.120 We good? 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:39.320 But it was fine. It was really fun. Actually they 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.840 had like a live band. Oh I made a party 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:42.280 out of it. 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:44.720 Yeah, just people just had a farm on the side 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:45.359 of the road and they. 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:46.080 Just had a farm. 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:52.879 Yeah, they like made T shirtsactly cool. That's amazing. Yeah. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.560 So if you're listening and you are close to the 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:00.720 totality line, you have to make that drive. 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.760 What month do you remember, It's in April April. Wow, 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.280 if it comes through, I think I'll be in Atlanta. 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.600 I hope it comes through Atlanta, yeah, or someplace with 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.600 you know, swinging distance exactly. That's cool. 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.040 So yeah, so yes, okay, that's your answer. You have 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.520 been to Cincinnati and you will be back to Cincinnati 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:24.840 at some point. 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.399 Yes, And I've never seen this totality what do you 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:29.679 call it? 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.560 The total It's like a totality eclipse. 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:33.520 Totality. 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.680 Someone probably listening there like that's not what it's actually called. Yeah, 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:40.160 the totality eclipse. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.440 It's like it's very very cool, can't wait. 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:53.520 Yeah, yeah, that's cool. So this next question came into 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:58.359 our d MS, and this was, you know, how have 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:02.280 you ever done a podcast with the Footloose Cast? And 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:06.600 they kind of listed Sara, Jessica Parker, John Litgow, Diane Wise. 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:15.360 Weste, thank you, and Wes uh No, I've never done 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.680 a podcast with the Footloose Cast. Sarah Jessica Parker, John Lithgow, 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:23.800 Diane Weist, et cetera. Yeah, I don't know what that 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:30.240 would be. I mean, I could see, you know, we 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.200 could talk about the memories of it. I don't think 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.000 it would be enough for multiple episodes. That would maybe 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.560 one episode. Maybe there's a podcast where they bring on 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:42.840 casts of movies. You know. It's interesting. I saw a 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:48.720 reading of a play recently which is called This Is 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:54.320 Our Youth and it was a fundraiser and it was 0:23:54.560 --> 0:24:02.800 Mark Ruffalo and uh Matt Damon. So play by Kenneth Lanergan. 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:08.639 That was a big hit I guess probably I'm guessing 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:14.520 it was maybe in the eighties or early nineties, and 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:18.040 Mark had played the part when he was he was 0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:20.159 playing like I think a nineteen year old or a 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:25.360 teenager or something like that. And I think Matt Matt 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.320 Damon went to and did it in the West End 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:32.120 in London, but for this benefit they did a reading 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:36.120 of it and now they're grown men, you know. And 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:39.560 Mark actually had a giant like a Santa Claus Beard 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:45.440 and White white Beard, and it was so interesting because 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:52.239 you saw people as older people play characters that they 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.160 played when they were younger, and there was something really 0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:01.680 kind of like fascinating and touching about that. So, I 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:03.840 don't know, I was chatting with you know, Ruffle. I 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.800 was like, this is a great idea, like people should 0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:10.359 do this, you know, with with you know, material plays 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.040 or or movies that you've done that are you know, 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.399 have a sort of This play was pretty iconic in 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:19.960 New York, kind of off Broadway theater circles. You know, 0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.400 this would be a thing, you know, like to do 0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:28.359
