<v Speaker 1>a follow up question of what was the what was

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the best answer he got to a question from a guest,

<v Speaker 1>of your interview, and it happened to be the favorite

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>part because they think he interviewed you in the morning

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and in the same day he interviewed Larry Flint, and

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he said the favorite thing that happened was in both

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>interviews and he got you both to cry a little

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>bit by talking about your families. Yeah, yeah, he did.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I remember he was really he had done his research

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on my family. Has really interested in my grandfather and

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and how much influence on me my grandfather had. He

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>kept he really bored, bore down on that, and I

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>don't remember crying because I don't cry, but maybe I

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>got misty eye. I don't if he said that that happened.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to dispute him. He said, you did exactly.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gets great that he uh thinks that was

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.360

<v Speaker 1>and on about it. He really loved that. He loved

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Uh that show. My favorite partner of the

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>show was that love seat deal that he had that

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he made everyone sit in well. It was a it's

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>an S flavored S shaped desk so that the guest

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>is facing him, but you both have a tabletop in

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>front of you because you're sitting in the middle section

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of the S. And it was the weird I've never

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>seen anything. And the interview was shot in in some

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>some home somewhere in uh in the Hollywood Hills that

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>was for sale. They had commandeered some home that were

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>sails set this thing up in the living room because

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of the view outside the picture window of his house,

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and he was I got invited to his house for

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of Monday night football games after. In fact,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that's where I met John Voight one night at a

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Monday night football game at Shatter's Place. Shatter's Place is

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>so far up the hill and you have to let

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you drive up there. You have your car, lets you off,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>or you park your car for people who drive, and

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you you walk up this stray. It's heart attack hill

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>getting up. There's no way anybody's gonna ever break into

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>his house because they're gonna have a heart attack getting

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>up to it. But he's and he's a vegetarian by

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the way, but he's not militant. He had his big

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>buffet set up for everybody, but it was not just

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>what he eats, and there were a lot of people there.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It was it was and he's got this giant, like

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, twenty ft screen in his in his

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>media room. It was. It was really cool. He was

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>He's I think William Shatner is one of the most

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>naturally and you wouldn't know this much in Star Trek,

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>but he's one of those naturally funny people I've ever

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>been around that the shatter that was on Boston Illegal

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is that's who I found him to be in the

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>off times of the And he's a fun guy. He's if.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>He was a lot of fun. And that interview, that

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>interview was it was a two hour interview that they

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>had to pare down to like, I don't know, forty

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>five minutes or some such thing. I thought. I thought

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>they'd make two episodes out of it, but they didn't.
