Speaker 1: him to death. So I thought I'd ask him about
Speaker 1: his talk show Raw Nerve, and I asked him who
Speaker 1: his favorite all time guest was, And then I had
Speaker 1: a follow up question of what was the what was
Speaker 1: the best answer he got to a question from a guest,

Speaker 1: show was that love seat deal that he had that
Speaker 1: he made everyone sit in well. It was a it's
Speaker 1: an S flavored S shaped desk so that the guest
Speaker 1: is facing him, but you both have a tabletop in
Speaker 1: front of you because you're sitting in the middle section
Speaker 1: of the S. And it was the weird I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything. And the interview was shot in in some
Speaker 1: some home somewhere in uh in the Hollywood Hills that
Speaker 1: was for sale. They had commandeered some home that were
Speaker 1: sails set this thing up in the living room because
Speaker 1: of the view outside the picture window of his house,
Speaker 1: and he was I got invited to his house for
Speaker 1: a couple of Monday night football games after. In fact,
Speaker 1: that's where I met John Voight one night at a
Speaker 1: Monday night football game at Shatter's Place. Shatter's Place is
Speaker 1: so far up the hill and you have to let
Speaker 1: you drive up there. You have your car, lets you off,
Speaker 1: or you park your car for people who drive, and
Speaker 1: you you walk up this stray. It's heart attack hill
Speaker 1: getting up. There's no way anybody's gonna ever break into
Speaker 1: his house because they're gonna have a heart attack getting
Speaker 1: up to it. But he's and he's a vegetarian by
Speaker 1: the way, but he's not militant. He had his big
Speaker 1: buffet set up for everybody, but it was not just
Speaker 1: what he eats, and there were a lot of people there.
Speaker 1: It was it was and he's got this giant, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty ft screen in his in his
Speaker 1: media room. It was. It was really cool. He was
Speaker 1: He's I think William Shatner is one of the most
Speaker 1: naturally and you wouldn't know this much in Star Trek,
Speaker 1: but he's one of those naturally funny people I've ever
Speaker 1: been around that the shatter that was on Boston Illegal
Speaker 1: is that's who I found him to be in the
Speaker 1: off times of the And he's a fun guy. He's if.
Speaker 1: He was a lot of fun. And that interview, that
Speaker 1: interview was it was a two hour interview that they
Speaker 1: had to pare down to like, I don't know, forty
Speaker 1: five minutes or some such thing. I thought. I thought
Speaker 1: they'd make two episodes out of it, but they didn't.
