<v Speaker 1>guys in show business. He wrote one of the greatest,

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>most gentle, but beautiful sitcoms. Everybody loves Raymond, and now

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.479

<v Speaker 2>scrap affair on you. You must like work out all

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 2>the time. I work out every day. Do you really

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 2>do something every day? I try to get the ten

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand steps and all that kind of stuff. I walk

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot and I do weights. The older you get

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>the more you do it right, musclemans. Yeah, push ups

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and set ups is what I do. I figured in

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>fine shape. Yeah, yeah, that's what I figure is like

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.839
<v Speaker 2>push ups and setups.

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>That hotels, it's easier to just push out set ups

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>cal standings.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you don't have to worry. You don't do you

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>like the hotel gym? You know, I'm a jeremaphone, fella.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're well, no, I'm not a

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>mag jeremaphione. But how he meant o, No, I know

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>how he's how he's a different level, how he has

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I think how he lives in the house from when

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>his kids get in the world. Well when when he's

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>telling me when his kids get sick, yeah they were young. Yeah,

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>he would go and stay in the guest house. Wow.

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, No, that's the thing that well he's really admits.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, but he's such a sweet greatly he's the

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>nicest guys that show business. He can have whatever quirks.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's perfect, No, nobody is perfect. But let me just

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>tell you. First of all, let me just say muzzletof.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>On your you and your daughter's book getting in the

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>New York Times bestsellingest Try?

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Is that a book to like to help make kids

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>eat things a little bit? Yeah, but it's funny that

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>we've been reading it to kids, and then we started

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>realizing there's a lot of adults who won't try stuff.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>It's all about having an open mind, so we think,

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe it's good for the parents to read it.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>It is right because people do it. They're like, no,

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that. You ever had it? I never

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>had it, but I don't like it. I know people

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>do you know people like this? They haven't had fundamental

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>things that you would think, how could you avoid? Like

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I knew grown men like older than us, right, never

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>had a cookie? Cookie a cookie, never had a piece

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>of cake. This is true. That's some kind of homophobia

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>from just after the war, Like I don't eat cake,

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that's what they were little kids. How do you go

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to children's birthday parties and avoid this stuff? And you

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 2>know what he said, not interested? I just wasn't interested.

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a bigger problem than I'm not trying food. That's

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that's just some kind of shut down there. That's bad.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>But let me let me ask you this then, is

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.119
<v Speaker 1>there ever anything you've gone because you travel the world

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and you eat everything I've seen you have you ever gone?

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>As you know, I just han't. I can't like fried

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Bees or something. So I was just in Iceland for

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>the new season. Oh I've tasted that food up there.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Jesus, that is that licorice tasting seal flipper ship. Only

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months ago, I and adventally bought the

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>wrong thing in the airport lounge.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like it was some kind of licorice flipper. It

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>was awful. It was all well, I actually found good food.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.839
<v Speaker 2>But you know in Iceland, Yeah, talk to me when

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I go, right, I'm getting a lot of research done,

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 2>not just from me, which anyone can do. You can

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>google best restaurants in Raykevic, right, and I bet those

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 2>good ones there are now, especially now, I maintain that

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you can get a good meal anywhere. Now.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably, I think you're right because the old days,

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>because the internet, because yelp and stuff.

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but the internet made the world flat right that

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.679
<v Speaker 2>the kid Idaho can see what a chef in Paris

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>is doing and emulate it and using local ingredients and

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>create these mashes and things. Yeah, so Iceland, we had listen.

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought the best smoked salmon in the world was

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>in Scotland. I thought Scottish smoke salmon, it is beautiful,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>is spectacular. It might be even better in Iceland because

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the water is colder there.

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I'm prepared to I'm prepared to admit

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that it's a possibility.

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>It's possible. Yeah, I think it is.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And the next time I go to Iceland, I'm going

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>to have the salmon. I'm not going to have whatever.

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Because I've tasted some bad things in my life. Iceland

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>is one of them. Also Japan. I know all the

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Japanese food is great.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but did you.

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Ever go to a sushi restaurant and think that tentacle

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>thing can't do it?

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I can do it, you can, you can do all

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of it. Well, here's the thing I wouldn't try in Iceland.

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Putrefied shark. I think that's what I had. Yeah, it's

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 2>the worst thing I ever tasted. So that's like a

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>dare that they did right. And what they do is

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>there's a spirit that you drink after and I think

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't drink. I get it, So there's no reason

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>for you to be eating this ship. I saw Bordain

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 2>do it on his show and listen, he's the hero.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>He is the here's the carson of what you're he is.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I only exist because of him, right, all of us

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 2>who do this owe him the greatest in the world

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 2>because he pioneered and revolutionized an entire genre, created the

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. Yes, he eats this putre fried Jark and

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>throws up on camera. Wow. Now if Anthony Bourdain anything, Yeah,

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 2>that's true. I'm like, thank you for taking the hit

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of us, I'm not doing it.

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I went to a place, uh, you know the documentary

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Gero Dreams of Sushi.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>So when my my oldest son is thirteen, we went

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to Japan. Yes, because instead of as you know, as

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I kind of bat mets. Yes, mother is Jewish, so

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and so for you know, the Scottish bat Mets felt,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>we go to Japan.

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I love it. Yeah.

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>So so we go to that restaurant, we go to

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the Jiro Yeah, and you know this, he's a sushi chef.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>He just he gives you what you're going to eat.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here here's what you're getting.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and there was like number eight. I was like,

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I'm really fighting to get this done.

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Some of the stuff was amazing. It was delicious, but

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I was really trying to get this done and it

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was I think it was seven.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Eggs or some little orange eggs. Yeah, it was really

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>tough for you, really bad. A lot of it is

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 2>a texture.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Thing, right, Yeah, it was texture a thing, and it

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>was the only thing that my son wouldn't eat. He

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>just said, I can't do that, and through the interpreter,

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Master Ghiro said to me, that's good.

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>One more for daddy. So I had to eat too,

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>because you can't offend the chef. No, that's a lot

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>of manners around this stuff.

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you find that going around the world that there's

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of custom and you know, kind of behavior

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and politeness around it. There's a lot of ceremony around

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody's food.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I am gonna taste anything put in front of me,

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>but if I can avoid the scary thing, I will, right. So,

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>like in Mexico, I was sitting at a counter at

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>a Wahawkan restaurant. This is in the show, and I'm

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>with my companion for this scene and the female chef

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>she's giving us such gorgeous food. It's all fantastic. But

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>what I've heard is that they serve iguana in this place,

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and I'm scared, and I say to my companion, I

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>heard there's iguana here. If they give us iguana, are

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>you gonna taste it? And she goes, I don't know,

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.239
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna taste it? And I'm like, you're Mexican,

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>you're more used to this maybe than I am coming from.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>And the chef hears us. She says, oh, you want iguana,

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And I go, oh, so you get the iguana special

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and she shows it because she goes, there it is

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's sitting in a bowl on the counter and

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>it's blackened already. You see the curly tail, you see

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the body, you see the face like this, and she goes,

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>if you want it, it'll be another half hour to

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 2>prepare it. We don't have time exactly what I did.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh look at the time, and I pushed out and

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>then she does this, Oh well, if you don't have

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 2>time for that, how about this, And she reaches under

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the counter. You're gonna think I'm making this up. It's

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>all in the show, and she pulls out a bowl

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of moving living beetles. I can't do that, and I

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to offend I don't want to offend, So

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>live my life not wanting to upset anybody, and God forbid,

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I should be just courteous, are rude. But what flew

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 2>out of my mouth at that moment was oh no, no, no,

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>no no no no no no no no no no,

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and I ran away. Yeah good, You know what, You're

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>a human being. You're allowed to have preferences, and it's

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>not I don't think it's terrible manners to turn down

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>live beetles. My friend was in China, rural China, not

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>like a major city. But sure, he's the guest of honor.

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Why because he's American At a banquet. Yeah, they bring

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 2>out a live, poisonous snake and they hold it up

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>next to him. He's freaking out because they're holding it

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 2>by the neck and the snake is wriggling. And they

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 2>take out a knife and they slit open this live

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>snake and they pull out the snake's gall bladder and

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>squeeze it into a glass and give it to him

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to drink. Because he's the guest of honor. They're fucking

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>with them. They're fugging with them. Come on, They're like,

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 2>this is supposed to say, you're supposed to be have virility.

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 2>If you drink this, you're supposed to have, you know, manliness.

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I can I get enough manliness? I go,

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 2>how bad was it? He says, As bad as you

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 2>can imagine. And the very worst part that I didn't

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>even think about as I put it to my lips.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>The worst part was that it was warm. Can you imagine? Yeah?

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean I could get sick thinking about it.

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, also, I'm sure then you know we're going to

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>get layers and emails as well.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 2>People will be like, that's cruel to snakes. Well, this

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>is not what we do. No, no, we don't do it.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>We don't do in rural China snake though I have

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:38.079
<v Speaker 2>tasted rattlesnakes. It's not unpleasant. It's not my favorite. It's

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 2>a little oily, A little yeah, it's like oily chicken. Yeah,

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought, like, like oily chicken. Taste gamy oily chick.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Everybody says, taste like chicken. I'm like, in that case,

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 2>could have chicken. Yeah, well, let's have chicken. No. When

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you were doing because look, when I became.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Aware of you, you were the comedy, like you were

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the great gods. Of the comedy Sick Calm World.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like, you know, everybody loves Raymond was

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>like a huge show. You know, you and Raymond put

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it together. It's a great show. Thank you and I.

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm thinking, as a look at that now, I'm

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>guessing that there is when you think about it, there

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>is always like cooking and stuff going on. Everybody's kind

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of a big thing. It's a big thing in that show.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a card to me. It's a big thing

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>in life. Life. Yeah, I found It's a long story.

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>But my parents weren't great cooks. They worked, both worked,

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a lot of money. The cuisine in our

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 2>house was cheap. Yeah.

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in Scotland, so I still went when

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it comes to fighting for the worst.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 2>My mom had a setting on the oven for shoe.

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>This is how you know it's ready. Yeah, it's ready.

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>It's ready, meaning all the flavor has been taken out

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and here it is. Yeah. So I didn't I didn't

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>even think steak was something that was good until I

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>was in my twenties. People said, you want to go

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to steak? Why would anybody want steak? Because I only

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>had the worst of the worst tough chewie. I couldn't

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>leave the table. Also, forget, just try it. At my house,

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>it was just finish it. Yeah, you gotta finish it. Forget,

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 2>just try it is like the Reform version. My house

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>was the Orthodox version. Just finish it. So I couldn't

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't stand it. But I went reluctantly to this steakhouse.

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It was like New Year's even my head, I couldn't

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 2>believe how great that's steak. I literally said, that steak.

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>That's so. I wanted to take a picture and show

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>it to my mother. Well, you know what's weird about

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>it is because you would think, because.

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You're like, your love of food is palpable, and you're

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>clearly very interested and drawn to all sorts of food.

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought it would have come in early

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>in life, but clearly it didn't.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, It wasn't like it wasn't until I left the house.

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I always loved I loved the fast food. I loved

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>anything marketed to us right like McDonald's burger King all

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that stuff, because at least it had salt and fat

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and flavor. I didn't care it was artificial, blogoney. It

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>was tasty, that made the difference. Yeah, and so I

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 2>always pursued it. And whenever I did get anything from

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>another place, like I went to Atlanta when I was nine,

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 2>never went anywhere, went to Atlanta for a bar Mitzville.

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>When I was nine, my cousins took me to a

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>new place that I'd never heard of, called seven eleven.

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>And I go to seven eleven and they have a

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>slurpee machine. Oh yeah, first time for slurpee. I tasted

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.959
<v Speaker 2>this thing. I go, This is why you travel? Do

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what? This is? Why I travel?

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>The reason I became an American. Yeah, when I was

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>thirteen years old, my father and I come and visit

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>my uncle and my aunt and their kids in New York.

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>They live in Smithtown, Long Island. Yes, so I go

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 1>from Scotland. I go to Smithtown, Long Islands when I'm thirteen.

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 2>It's nineteen seventy five, right, yeah, And they take me

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 2>to a bowling alley and someone gives me root beer

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 2>from a fountain over crushed dice in a bowling alley

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and I never tasted it, never tasted my life. And

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I said, whatever this is, I want to be part

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>This is when I'm going to become an American when

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>I taste over crushed ice in a bowling alley in

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Long Island.

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>This is it. So I'm preaching the converted. I understand it, saying, yeah,

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of course, when you have an experience that you love

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>somewhere else, it makes you fall in love with going places.

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:30.520

<v Speaker 1>try stuff, I understand hard. It is hard. Well, one

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of them was hard. I have two boys, one of

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>them all even for like two years it was Annie's macaroni.

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I know, you couldn't really get. But they

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to eat pretty much, Anthony. So this book,

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>not that.

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm plugging the book, but the thing is, the kid,

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>left on its own will eat, right, the kid, it's

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.159
<v Speaker 2>not gonna most people, you know, when they get hungry,

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 2>they want to eat. They will lean and they will

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 2>eat so and sometimes it's not about the food that

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 2>they're pushing back on you. It's about asserting their personhood there.

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 2>It's about having right. It's not really about the food observation.

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right, and left to their own, they

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 2>might try it. And you know what, the kid that

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't eat was the first kid.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's the one you're like, hereatatat oh baby, like you'll.

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Be fine, exactly right, and that kid ate more. Yeah,

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>that's funny. Then I think that's it. Yeah, And then

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I tell this to somebody who that's too much trouble.

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 2>We just pay them. So what do you mean, here's

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty five cents if you think a bte what and

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 2>that works? Yep?

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess it would it's not a terrible idea.

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So you're in Glasgow and you have great swarm. Where

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:28.480

<v Speaker 2>Lynn is the chef. I think I know about this.

<v Speaker 2>I've heard about this, so it's it's Malaysian food. Okay.

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I love that, absolutely fantastic. I think you'll love it.

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the great meals. And then that Schwarma King,

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Swarma King, it really made an effect. Landed with you.

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Shwarma King. Huh. I think it's the best one. I

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 2>mean to find him I don't think to the Middle East.

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>So what it is? You ever see those big in

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Mexico they're called Trumpo's, these giant the meat things of

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 2>meat that's old layered. Yeah, exactly right, and then they

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 2>trim off the sides. It rotates. That's real drunk people

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 2>food in Britain, is it? Yeah? Like when you come

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 2>out of the pub at eleven o'clock, Yes, you go

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 2>get a kebab. It's like people think it's fish and chips.

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I guess there's fish and chips kebab. People get drunk

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and have a kebab because the kebab stores are open late. Yes,

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 2>as everybody runs them as immigrants and they want to,

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, earn eleven and you can get a kebab.

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a I've woken up sick with kebab fever. Get it?

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I get it. But then they put that garlic mao

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 2>on it. Yeah, it's beautiful. So is that sharma a kebab? Well,

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 2>kebab I always think of as meat on a stick, right,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 2>that's right, But that's kebob. But kebab is like shwarma,

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I think, Is that right? I think?

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>So maybe something like that. I know that in Bretton.

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're calling it wrong in Brent maybe because I

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>think you're right. I think technically kebob kebab. I think

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.199
<v Speaker 1>it is the thing on a skewer, but in Breton

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 1>it's the peeda pocket with the shaved meat on it.

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Is kebab, is a kebba. They call it a kebab,

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>but that's probably right. That's why I think, and I

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 2>learned that I'm saying it wrong. Shwarma it's shawerma. Oh,

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>it's like a whole like but this is from the

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Middle East. But then in Mexico when you get the

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>taco saw pastor, Yeah, that came from the Middle East,

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 2>except in Mexico they had pork instead of lamb so

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 2>they didn't. Yes, like that, yeah came. So the whole

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>world is better. That's my whole point. The whole world

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.239
<v Speaker 2>is better when we cross pollinate, when we when we

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:14.639
<v Speaker 2>get this food from the immigrants who learned how to

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>take maybe cheaper cuts of food just to survive and

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 2>turned it into not just something palatable but phenomenal. That's

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 2>what makes the world go right. I agree.

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I like, I grew up in a town love Glasgow,

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>which is you know, a Victorian ship building town. Yes,

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and the food, by the order mention of the people

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>who lived there was atrocious. And what happened the first

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 1>wave of immigrants to command are Italians. Italians bring in

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>coffee and we taste coffee and.

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 2>We're like, oh my god, this is good.

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I grew I grew up like I thought coffee was

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.440
<v Speaker 1>like you know, it was a powdered thing.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 2>You pourned God war on. So when is this happening? Well,

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the Italians ran way before, you know. But but when

0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you go to Italian restaurants then they have like coffee machines.

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>But the reason you go to an Italian restaurant because

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 2>attached to the Italian restaurant is the fish and chip shop.

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>And everybody buys fish and chips. People think fish and

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>chips are British, not British, it's Italian.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>The Italians brought the fishing to the Italian restaurants in

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Glasgow anyway, it was fish and chips from Italy.

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 2>They would make and making the fish and chips. They

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>have Glasgow Glasgow Italian accents, so they talk about it

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 2>like me. But also we about Battalian as well, like

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 2>at that Wow, it's crazy. I love it.

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So they comme in and they start bringing in Italian food,

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>so they're making past those and stuff. And then the

0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Pakistanian Indian community come in in the sixties and seventies

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and then everything goes crazy. Then there's like, you know,

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the Italian restaurants and sorry, the Indian restaurants, the curries

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that people are not tasting these spices they've never had before, right,

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>it's insane. And now there's quite a lot of particular

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in Glasgow is a huge Chinese influence.

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of Chinese coming into the university. So

0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of new Chinese and Malaysian restaurants and

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that at the bottom end of Buyers Road,

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 2>which I think is what you're talking about, near the university.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>And so all this cultural input I think improved the

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 2>city beyond measure. Who is fighting this, like there's such

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 2>an idiot that makes life grand? Yeah, you want to

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 2>eat the same thing every day, fun to have not

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 2>just food, but friends from other places that learn something God.

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Fromid I totally agree, but you know you and I

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.360
<v Speaker 1>are maybe not everybody.

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the thing. Let me just say there is

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 2>one thing I've never tasted that.

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>My wife has tasted when she was on a vacation

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>when she before we met, she and some college friends

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>went to South America.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they were offered guinea pig. They ate it,

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>guinea pig served with the mouth open. Oh, I've seen

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it. I've never been to Peru, but I

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:53.199
<v Speaker 2>really do want to go. I'm probably gonna have to

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>taste that. Yes, I am afraid.

0:24:55.680 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because that's like to me, disrespect to anything. Yeah,

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 1>it's a rat.

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I had I think squirrel once. I know people eat squirrel.

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I have you know in rural Scotland some of the

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:14.880

<v Speaker 2>think you're right, But I will say this. The first stop.

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 2>When we're shooting Mumbai, I've never been there in my life.

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of afraid, right because people, you know, they

0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 2>do get a stomach thing when they go because they're

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 2>not used to that, and the water and everything else

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>is different, and you can get sick. And I was

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 2>really worried about but I was assured that the guy

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 2>taking me around knew the places that I would not

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:16.160
<v Speaker 2>get sick. Okay I didn't. You didn't get however, first stop,

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 2>try this. What is it? Goat brain curry? Okay, that's

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 2>a that's a lot for your first thing. Yeah, goat

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 2>brain is any kind of brain. But I'll tell you this.

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I eat it. I taste it with bread. You sop

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it up. It's just like you got that bread. It's meat,

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>meat in a sauce, right, right, right, You're right, you'd

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 2>never know. It's the idea that keeps us away from stuff.

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But isn't that isn't that true of so many things

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that you get ahead of yourself with the idea.

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, no, you're right. I had to eat drugs.

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I had to eat an ant in Tokyo. How many ads?

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Just one? I think I could eat one hand like

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 2>a big black carpenter. And it came on the salad.

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Uh, does this restaurant have a problem? Should

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 2>we the people? So she called? Then was on the side.

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 2>It's on the south that my patriot says, you got

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 2>to try it tastes like lemon. I said, whoa, if

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 2>it's lemon flavor, we're going after Yeah, why can't we

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 2>go to have some lemon? We could have chicken with lemon,

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 2>lemon chicken. Why do we have to have ant? But

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like shaking my head, like God, what did

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I get into with this show that I do for you?

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 2>It's become a hole. But I tasted it, and damn

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't like a lemon drop on my tongue,

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.680
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, Okay, did they based it in lemon?

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Is that? Why? Know? The chef says, these ants from

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 2>this particular part of the forest and this particular part

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 2>of Japan, these ants taste like lemon. Who the hell

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 2>found this out?

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.399
<v Speaker 1>The first guy who's like really hungry, and he's like,

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm so hungry. Tastes like crap, this one taste. This

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>one tastes like ant.

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't want that. This one tastes like lemon good one. Yeah,

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:58.360
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm now am I going to a restaurant

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and saying, hey, do you have the ants taste? Like? No,

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not the first thing I want when I go

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to the restaurant. But I'm glad I did it. The

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 2>journey is its own reward, the tasting of it.

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever have you ever gone sick from Anthony

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 1>on the road though one time I got sick in

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all my travels around the world San Francisco.

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 2>What did you eat? Don't know? Okay, because I ate

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot that day and that night. We call it bush.

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, bush like swarm out, bushes out the top

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 2>end and goush.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 1>You can't imagine or other. I mean, I know I've

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>been there. I go to once from smoked salmon. Oh,

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that's very bad smokes. It's very bad smoked salmon. I

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 1>took it and I knew you know that sometimes when

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you eat something you got something right here?

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But I muscled through you must never muscle through no,

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>no somethings off, okay, step back, no. No. You can

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>get a bad piece of fish and you know it instantly. Yeah,

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>and I knew it, and I ate the fish because

0:28:58.000 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to appear rude.

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I get it, and so I ate the fish. And

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>about two hours later then I went on a ride.

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:08.080
<v Speaker 1>The last three days. It was crazy. I've never been

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>so sick. And I used to love salmon, and I

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't eat salmon for about ten years after.

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>When you get sick from a food, you never want

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 2>that food.

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what it feels like, right I go. I mean,

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I although I tried oysters, and I never need to

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>eat that. That ain't food. I don't know why people

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>make such a fuss about that. Was a brave man

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 1>who once tried an oyster. That's a famous saying, yes,

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy.

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you like oysters? I do you do. I'll tell

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 2>you why they are. There's certain foods that are evocative

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 2>of the place they come right right, Yeah, I mean

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 2>that's how I felt when I had the Tallisker Scotch

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>from the barrel out of Callisker and you're like.

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Look, I'm Scottish. But I gotta be oesty. Whiskey is

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>not food. You understand that, right, I mean I know

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that these, but.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>There is a flavor. There's definitely a flavor. And you know,

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I know you don't drink, but well on onely because

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I drank some much because not because I'm against it,

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 2>just because if I if I drink, I go to

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 2>hospital or jail. That that's why I don't drink. I

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 2>was with Peter o'tool once. Did you ever meet Peter?

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Had him on the old late night show The Greatest Guy?

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we can talk about him. But he

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 2>he said, would you like something to drink? And I

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>said I would? Are you drinking? He goes, I can drink,

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>but my doctor says, if I do, I'll die. Yeah,

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 2>God bless him. What a what a peach of a guy.

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>He was amazed. But he was one of those legendary

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 2>alcohol when alcoholism was more entertaining than perhaps. I mean,

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 2>it's like, you know Richard Burton and Peter Rutoo. Wasn't

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 2>he the greatest rack und Tour? Wasn't he? Just but

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you know him and Richard Richard.

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say as well, but I think

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 1>probably there's a there's a great old I don't know

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>if it's a poem or I think it's a poem,

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 1>an old Irish thing about drinking. It's it's about so

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>we spent another night and I'm a bit in the tavern.

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, we spent another rite telling poetry and proses.

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>But each man knows he'll be alone when the sacred.

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Gin mill closes. Oh man.

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And alcoholism is not about the fun you're having in it.

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It's about four o'clock in the morning, in the fetal position,

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>crying for your mother. Oh, it's a whole different game.

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think any of these guys were spared that.

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I think you've got to be honest about it. It was.

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>It's hellacious if you if you can't do it, if

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 2>you can do it, Like if I could drink, I

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 2>would drink. And I can still make a recommendation for

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the best scotch. Which whiskey in my mind, and it's

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 2>not Dallas Girl, which is a great whiskey. Tell me

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the greatest.

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 1>One, to my mind is a whiskey called weirdly enough

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound it sounds more like an Ellie neighborhood.

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Highland Park I know it. Highland Park's Yeah, get yourself

0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a twelve or older year Highland Park.

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.239
<v Speaker 1>I would take that over even a beautiful Yeah, it's

0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful thing. Over a towalskar or again, I.

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Love Glenn Livitt. Yeah, that's my go to it.

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, guses, you can have a glass of

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:08.120
<v Speaker 1>whiskey and then that's you're done.

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 2>You enjoy the taste. And by the way, I'm also

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a flyweight. I have one and goodbye. Yeah, yeah, that's

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 2>that's me. But listen, I I'm in it for the flavor, right,

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's what means. You can have it.

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>If you're in it for the flavor, you can have it.

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>If you're in it for the medicine, for whatever missing

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in your soul, you can.

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I honestly don't like the feeling of being loopy in

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>any way with anything that I don't like it. You know,

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what a mysa that as. That's unbelievable

0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to have that really, yeah, because we all like an escape. Listen,

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll take, I'll take. My son has started making a

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 2>business out of th HC laced cookies okay, okay, and

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it's a cookie mix called Zazas and you can pre

0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>make the batter and put the balls in the the

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 2>the dough balls in the freezer, and then right before

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 2>bed in the toaster oven for ten minutes, you have

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 2>a fresh, hot baked chocolate chip cookie. And for me,

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not about getting high. Yeah, although you do start

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>to feel it, maybe listen to a little music. Ah,

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you're in college again, and then lights out, good night,

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 2>sleep through the night. That's why I take it. Well,

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>see what's interesting about it?

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's great, yes, But the thing to remember about

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>these things is they react differently with different people. Absolutely,

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 1>because if I had that, I would be psychotic and

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I would need a drink, even at a low dose

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I have of one hundred percent because everyone dosage.

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why you're not seeing it. What's the word normalized?

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Not normalized when you try to regulate something and you

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 2>have to have like a dose.

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 1>A dosage thing, Oh yes, like yeah, you can't do

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that because everybody reacts. Everybody's different, right, And I'd tell

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you another thing, like when you and I were young,

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 1>like when you said colleagues like there were drugs around

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and people experiment with drugs.

0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And stuff like, you can't do that now and everything

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and everything. You could die. You could die, kids, I

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 2>can die from a joint. Don't do that. That's crazy.

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>It is crazy. I mean it's like, oh my god,

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 2>it's everywhere. In college, we'd have what's called a nickel bag.

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 2>It would last us the semester. Yeah, but one puff

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>and lights out, lights out, You're done. Because of that,

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 2>that strange stuff that I don't do it. I do.

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I use it only to sleep, and only once or

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:31.719
<v Speaker 2>twice a week at the most. Right, But it's good

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 2>when you travel, I think, although you you got to

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 2>be careful.

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I do that when I you know, because I famously

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>carry a lot of guns.

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:45.399
<v Speaker 2>So like what what no, No, no, Well you're good

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 2>at saying it straight, like no, but you got to

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.960
<v Speaker 2>be careful because people are different. Now here's the thing.

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I remember. Once I went to rural Morocco. Yeah, I

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>was out there. I can't really remember what I was

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:01.719
<v Speaker 2>doing out there, but I was out there. If you

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 2>don't remember, you were doing something fun. But I actually

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I was drinking. In fact, I'm pretty

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.200
<v Speaker 2>sure I wasn't drinking, but I was.

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:12.400
<v Speaker 1>It was a long time ago, and I remember I

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 1>was with a girlfriend and we went to go, uh

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to a restaurant, and the guy at the door said,

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you you have to go to separate parts

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 1>of the restaurant. It's like the the uh we don't

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 1>let men and women unless they're married sit together. So

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>she had to go and sit with the single women,

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and I had to go and sit with the single dudes.

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 1>And the married couples can sit in the middle.

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:39.359
<v Speaker 2>But you have to be married. Wow, I know. Interesting. Yeah,

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.880
<v Speaker 2>it was like a whole thing, and it kind of

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:45.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, I kind of liked it, you know, I'm

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 2>advocating for I was like, oh, this is different. It's

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 2>an hour. My girlfriend didn't like it.

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she felt like she had been in some way insulted.

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:55.520
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.920
<v Speaker 1>She felt wasn't She's a Western woman who was in

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a rural part of the world and the customs were different.

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, Listen, there's there's customs that all over the

0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 2>world where they have to lighten up a little, right,

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, you figure, I know, but yes, time goes on.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Well if you ask people to lighten up, though, fell

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and they don't want to, you know, they want to

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 2>hang on to some stuff. Have you ever run any

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.360
<v Speaker 2>trouble on the way, people like like, hey, you're an American.

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.840
<v Speaker 2>We're not crazy about you guys right now. No, I

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know how great it is to be Jewish at

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 2>the moment. But who saw that coming? Not me? I meancking,

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm like what, Yeah, I'm kind of like

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:43.840
<v Speaker 2>a freaking me out. Yes, so are you.

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing the Palestinian restaurants. No, no, I have a

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.960
<v Speaker 1>scene in Dubai. We filmed it almost a year ago now,

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 1>before the troubles. Yeah, I go in. There's a woman

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>who is from I guess Gaza or the West Bank.

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 1>She emigrated to Dubai, as many people do, because it's

0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 1>like eighty five percent immigrants Dubai.

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Have you been there. No, I've never been to Dubai.

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 2>You drive down the street and you're like, oh, this

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is what Vegas would be if they had real money.

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just the unbelievable city of the future. I know,

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>like Colp cars or Baghetti Vey runs and stuff like that.

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine monorails running on both sides of the

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 2>exactly right. But then there's old Dubai, which is only

0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 2>about fifty sixty years old. But that's where the Indian

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 2>restaurants are, and the Palestinian restaurants are at all restaurants

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 2>from all over the Middle East. So I have this

0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>meal with this Palestinian woman, and it connected so deeply

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.680
<v Speaker 2>to me in her story, and I just fell in

0:37:45.719 --> 0:37:48.319
<v Speaker 2>love with her as a human being. And we got

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 2>along so great that we got emotional. Where this is

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be our natural enemy. Yeah, gorgeous, wonderful experience,

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 2>and all I can that's my answer to all of this. Well,

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:02.879
<v Speaker 2>why don't you sit and eat with these people? If

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 2>we sat and ate, that's what they say break bread.

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that what you're talking about? You know, a conciliatory

0:38:08.640 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 2>meeting you talk about You use the expression let's break

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 2>bread exactly right, because it's something we automatically relate to

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 2>because we all do it, no matter who we are. Well,

0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 2>we all got to do it. We all got to eat.

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 2>And if the food is good, we're already connecting on

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 2>something we understand that's wonderful, that we're already happy. Yeah,

0:38:27.520 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>we're already happy. I can kill you because I'm happy

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 2>eating with you. Yeah, Yeah, we're eating, and then we'll

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 2>then there's enough for both of them and then if

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 2>we share a joke or a laugh, now we're friends.

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:38.279
<v Speaker 2>That's what That's what I feel about it too.

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:43.000
<v Speaker 1>The humor and food obviously for you, very closely related,

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 1>because yes, everybody's gonna I pitched this idea years ago.

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, never came in.

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 1>I was going to do this show where I would

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>go anywhere in the world and do what you do

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:55.319
<v Speaker 1>with me. You said, do it with stand up like

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I would go to Japan and I'd learn and act

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>fanatically and going try and do it what I mean.

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 2>And I thought it would be really cool. But yeah,

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I could never say it. I don't know why. Hard

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:08.360
<v Speaker 2>to sell stuff, Yeah it is. Listen. Speaking of Peter O'Toole,

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.319
<v Speaker 2>I tried to do two pilots with him, no way

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 2>he wanted. When he did a movie called King Ralph

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.480
<v Speaker 2>with John Goodman. I remember so John Goodman was taking

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a break during high his hiatus from Roseanne, the biggest

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.480
<v Speaker 2>sitcom at that time. I know. I've talked to Matt Williams,

0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:26.479
<v Speaker 2>who was the one of the creators of it. Great, great,

0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I would say, even groundbreaking show, amazing show. Show held

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:33.319
<v Speaker 2>up a mirror to an American living room, right, and

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 2>what was going on it. I go as far as

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:35.839
<v Speaker 2>to say it. Yeah.

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 1>No, I was going to say, there's no Raymond without resign.

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think that's true because I think Raymond

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 1>is also connected to all in the family.

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Older. Yeah, but certainly influenced in that. Yeah, it was

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 2>part of it, for sure. I think definitely. Well, listen,

0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 2>we're only we stand on the shoulders of everyone who came.

0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Peter O'Toole learns about how much money you

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 2>can make making a sitcom and we get a phone

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 2>call you'd like to do. This was a few years

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:08.320
<v Speaker 2>before Raymond. We got this guy was with a partner

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.920
<v Speaker 2>at the time. We get this call and we're like, hell, yeah,

0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of course, I mean, he's huge fete. We write this

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.240
<v Speaker 2>thing for him. He likes it. He gives us notes.

0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Best notes I ever got in my life from anyone

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:25.880
<v Speaker 2>were from him. Have you read his book, yes, Loitering

0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 2>with Intent? Yeah, but it was a long time since

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I read it. But you do remember then it was good? Yeah,

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I do, I do remember it. Okay, So we have him.

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 2>He commits to it now and we're going and it's

0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 2>NBC and my phone rings and it's Judd Hirsh out

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:47.560
<v Speaker 2>of the blue. My god, I heard you doing a

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 2>show with Peter o'tool. Yes, I'd like to be in it. Okay,

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's a great part of it.

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>He goes, I don't care. I want to do it.

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.759
<v Speaker 2>So now NBC show Peter O'Toole, jud Hirsh. We start

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:02.839
<v Speaker 2>casting the other roles. My phone rings, it's NBC. We're

0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of casting. Yes, the president of the

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.680
<v Speaker 2>network would rather not have someone with an accent on

0:41:08.760 --> 0:41:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the network. This is fucking Warren Lttlefield, isn't it. It sounds

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:14.600
<v Speaker 2>like Warren. No, it's it was. I think the next

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 2>one one after him, maybe, Yeah, we don't have to

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.400
<v Speaker 2>say who it is. I think I know who it is.

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, I know. And the show was dead

0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:29.879
<v Speaker 2>just because of the accent. Imagine having to call him

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:35.839
<v Speaker 2>you did. I couldn't, so I just let the other

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 2>people make up some story to him, and we stayed friends.

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 2>We would go to London, my whole family. We would

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 2>meet him for tea and we stayed friends. He would

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.280
<v Speaker 2>come to La visit us. He came to a movie

0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 2>night at my house. I said, can we show what

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 2>movie of yours. Can we show? He goes, you show

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:56.160
<v Speaker 2>one of my films I won't be attending, and I said,

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.360
<v Speaker 2>what would you like to see? And he said, without hesitation,

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Carry Grant? I said, and is there a Carry Grant movie?

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 2>And before I could finish that, he goes Talk of

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the Town? You know, say, of course it's great. So

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you know what it's about. Yeah, tell the people, no,

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you tell them it's it's Carry Grant? And uh, what's

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 2>her name? Let me just look it up because I

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.239
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be disrespect But what happens is it's

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:23.880
<v Speaker 2>a lighthearted comedy and this is in the fifties, this movie,

0:42:24.040 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and then she gets an abortion. That's right, And that's

0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:29.399
<v Speaker 2>the title of the film, Talk of the Town. Can

0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you imagine in the nineteen fifties you couldn't do that

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:35.759
<v Speaker 2>movie today. He'd be in a lot of trouble. Talk. Yeah,

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:40.080
<v Speaker 2>it's Geneaathon Ronald Coleman as well. Okay, so that that

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 2>movie's phenomenal. I recommend it to people, so interesting and

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:45.600
<v Speaker 2>so funny. And when the movie's over, he leads a

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 2>discussion the movie. For the twenty five people that are

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:52.279
<v Speaker 2>in my house watching this movie, that's great. It was

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 2>very special thing to have had, really special. I also

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.799
<v Speaker 2>before the movie, I always show a music thing and

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I said to him, do you know who? Have you seen? Beyonce?

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 2>He says, what is a Beyonce? And I put on

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the song, the famous song it. He is leaning forward

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:17.839
<v Speaker 2>with his jaw hanging open, laughing like he's seen the

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:20.000
<v Speaker 2>greatest thing he's ever seen in his life. I have

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:21.719
<v Speaker 2>to say my reaction when I first saw it was

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 2>very similar. Cut to now. After Raymond. Someone presents me

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 2>with a good idea for a show that has older

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:37.040
<v Speaker 2>people in it and younger people right together. I say,

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 2>this is great. They say, you see this as a show. Yes,

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:41.919
<v Speaker 2>you want to take it out and try to sell

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:45.200
<v Speaker 2>it to the networks. I say no, because I've been

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:47.440
<v Speaker 2>through this now for many years, and I know what

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:51.399
<v Speaker 2>the networks will say. Can the younger people move in

0:43:51.480 --> 0:43:55.280
<v Speaker 2>with younger, hotter people, They don't want the old people.

0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:59.680
<v Speaker 2>But I said, but let's try it at the BBC, right,

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:03.520
<v Speaker 2>and let's call my friend because he should be the

0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 2>lead in this thing. He had just done Venus, remember

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:07.640
<v Speaker 2>that movie? He knew because he was on the late

0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:10.279
<v Speaker 2>night show promoting it. How great was he in that

0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I mean here he is an older eye.

0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Now the comedy chops are still phenomenal, even the physical stuff.

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>It was one of the actors in that movie. You know,

0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Leslie Phillips who was also in that movie.

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>He plays his.

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Friend in the movie at the end, which she says, oh,

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:27.879
<v Speaker 1>he was gorgeous when she's looking at the obituary, and he.

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Goes, yes, he was gorgeous. That actor.

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:33.839
<v Speaker 1>He was in a movie a nine years ago as well.

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 1>There were a wonderful generation of actors amazing and he

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Leslie Phillips, who died recently. He was I think a

0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred Leslie when Wow. But he didn't drink like pig.

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 2>But I'm telling you, a gift to the world would

0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.319
<v Speaker 2>be Peter o'tole just sitting here and talking about whatever

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:51.160
<v Speaker 2>he wants to talk about, unbelievable for an hour. It

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:54.359
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter every week, Just there's Peter otold here, having

0:44:54.360 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a drink with him or just chatting with him, just

0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:04.640
<v Speaker 2>would be a gift. We write the script, Yeah, they say, Okay,

0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 2>will mister O'Toole read I said, read read like audition. Yes,

0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Peter tool, Yes, are your mind? I said here's his audition.

0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence of Arabia is his audition the Ruling Class. Yes, man,

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:26.919
<v Speaker 2>stop cat man. Yeah, my favorite year. Yeah, my favorite year.

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Perfect example. If you want to cast him in a

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 2>sitcom or venus, goddamn it. They were three reasons that

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 2>he was old. Yeah, I said, I can't. I'm not

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 2>asking Peter o'tool to read. You can ask him. Well,

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.280
<v Speaker 2>they didn't, they know what do you know? What bothers

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:44.799
<v Speaker 2>me a lot about this time, especially when I talked

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:48.399
<v Speaker 2>this was the BBC. Yeah, well that's part of this time. Okay,

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? It's I mean the business. Yes.

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:52.840
<v Speaker 2>What bothers me about it is I talked to so

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:56.080
<v Speaker 2>many creatives and they talked to me about shows that

0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen. That's right, And it drives me crazy because

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:01.640
<v Speaker 2>these sounds. I'm good, they sound great. Why do you

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 2>think I'm in the food and travel business.

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but fell I got to say to you, and

0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we got to wrap things up. I'm going to say

0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to you, I would like to hear your voice outside

0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of the food arena. I mean you, I understand great,

0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>but it would be nice to see a set calm

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:21.960
<v Speaker 1>or a comedy show come out of that ahead of yours.

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I know it's there. It's not for lack of trying.

0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, still, well, a terrible business, you proved it.

0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:32.320
<v Speaker 2>It means nothing. I think that the business changed greatly

0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:34.440
<v Speaker 2>in the nine years we were doing Raymond, and so

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:38.160
<v Speaker 2>when we graduated from that, all they wanted were young

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:41.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty people in shows, which is you know, as good

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:45.799
<v Speaker 2>a show as Friends is and was the business got

0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the wrong lesson from it. They thought that, oh, just

0:46:49.480 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 2>cast pretty people. Yeah, but that.

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>The exception, the exception to the rule exactly. But the

0:46:57.719 --> 0:47:01.400
<v Speaker 1>right that mar And was doing on that show, that's incredible.

0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Mark Kaufman was doing on that show. Of course, great

0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:05.440
<v Speaker 1>worky I was.

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 2>They were great, well crafted shows with a great writers room.

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:12.839
<v Speaker 2>But you had these this casting that was also great. Yeah,

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:16.320
<v Speaker 2>they were great. And God doesn't often give with both mends.

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Don't go to the pretty people usually for comedy. Why

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:24.919
<v Speaker 2>because pretty people never have to develop a they haven't

0:47:25.000 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 2>had to do it. Yeah, you have to look like

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:30.279
<v Speaker 2>me to develop a sense for me. I get it.

0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.360
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing I think that I remember, like

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Raymond was I was on the Drew Carey Show. Remember

0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 2>when Raymond started and we were on the Drew Carey Show.

0:47:39.800 --> 0:47:44.080
<v Speaker 2>We were the uh, we were the less esthetically pleasing

0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:48.080
<v Speaker 2>cast than the Friend was funny, funny, it's.

0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:49.960
<v Speaker 1>A funny show. And I remember you guys showed in

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the Warner Brothers Law. I remember because Ray used to combine.

0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh. I remember because he was becoming a big star

0:47:57.719 --> 0:48:00.440
<v Speaker 2>and always stuck with me. And I say it to

0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:01.839
<v Speaker 2>him when he was on the old Late Night Show

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:03.680
<v Speaker 2>because it really stuck with me. I watched a guy

0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 2>go from nobody knew who he was to be a

0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:11.719
<v Speaker 2>big star, no discernible change in behavior. No, do you

0:48:11.840 --> 0:48:14.399
<v Speaker 2>know how fucking rare that is? You know what he says, Well,

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm the same guy, same guy. He was a camp driver,

0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 2>used to hate me now my limo driver. But it's

0:48:22.120 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 2>interesting because it's so I don't even know if I

0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 2>can say that but myself sometimes when I went through successes,

0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I became a bit of douchey, you know.

0:48:29.719 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>But I with Ray, I think that, well, he had

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a very healthy case of neuroticism. Yeah, but he was

0:48:38.000 --> 0:48:41.839
<v Speaker 2>a perfect neurotic, I always said, because he only hurt himself. Yeah.

0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 2>We meet a lot of neurotics in the business out

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:46.799
<v Speaker 2>and hurt everybody else. You don't want to work with them.

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:49.800
<v Speaker 2>But Ray was always a pleasure to work with And

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that might have been difficult was convincing

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.480
<v Speaker 2>him that he was good. Yeah, and to relax and

0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 2>be enjoy it. Yeah, it's hard to enjoy it when

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:03.359
<v Speaker 2>you're you're raither and you're nuts. He always says, if

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:05.800
<v Speaker 2>my father hugged me once, I wouldn't have to do this,

0:49:08.520 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you know. Lewis Black, Yeah, he's great, He's amazing.

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So I was talking to Lou recently on the program

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and I said to him my wife's

0:49:16.360 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 1>theory about stand up comedians, which is every stand up

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:20.440
<v Speaker 1>comedian has the same.

0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Mother, cold with bad boundaries. Wow. And so I say

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 2>that to Lewis and he goes, oh my god. Two things. One,

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:29.239
<v Speaker 2>how did you get to meet such a smart woman? Yeah?

0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:32.239
<v Speaker 1>And two let me tell you this. His mom had

0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:34.279
<v Speaker 1>just died. She was one hundred and four. He said,

0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we looked each other in the eye

0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>until she was on her death fedd.

0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Wow. And it goes to your point about pretty

0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:44.719
<v Speaker 2>people not having it developed comedy, you know what I mean.

0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:48.239
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's developed, it's born out of something. It's

0:49:48.320 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 2>born out of something. I mean about it. If my

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.439
<v Speaker 2>dad hugged me once, that's really. If you got enough

0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 2>love at home, maybe you wouldn't need it outside of home.

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 2>But we all look for it, we all different ways. Well,

0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:05.080
<v Speaker 2>you know what it's It's worked out, okay for you

0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:08.359
<v Speaker 2>and Ray and for you yeah, and for me. You're right.

0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you how much I want to congratulate you.

<v Speaker 2>And just try it. You and your daughter are doing

0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:19.080
<v Speaker 2>a book to get children to eat their food and adults.

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Just try it. If you can open the mouth, you

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:23.239
<v Speaker 2>can open the mind, right.
