1 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 2: It's hard to avoid the election. 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm super in it like many of you, and I 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: try to keep politics out of this show, but obviously 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: it seeps in from time to time, and a few 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: days before major presidential election is just that kind of time. 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 2: I'm already hearing. 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: From people who are saying that their relationships, their friendships, 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: their family connections are getting strained. 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: Because of the election. 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: On News Nation the other night, jd Vance said, if 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: you're discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody is voting for 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: the other team, then you've made a terrible, terrible mistake 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: and you should do something different. Don't cast aside family 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: members and lifelong friendships. Politics is not worth it. I 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: love that he said that, especially because he's on the 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: ticket obviously and should want people to care more about 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: voting for him than their friendships. It was nice of 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: him to say that. But I'm not going where you 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: think I'm going with all this. Yes, I think you 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: should keep politics separate from your friends and family. People 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: who love you can disagree with you have different values 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: than you all of it. I'm very kombayah about the 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: whole thing. Really, I have friends who I love who 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: are firmly on the left. I don't have any leftist family, 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: but that's. 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: Really just sheer luck. 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: Ha ha. What I want to say, though, is that we've 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: been talking on the show about making friends in adulthood, 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: and I actually think it's completely okay to not pursue 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: friendship with people on the opposite political side. I know 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense that I would say that, because 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: I just said I have lots of friends on the left, 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: So why am I dissuading you from friend making. 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: Across political lines? 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: And look, if you meet someone, you're playing tennis with them, 37 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: you meet them at work, whatever, you hit it off, 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: and they have opposite politics but you like each other. 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: Of course, go for it friends. 40 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: But friendships in adulthood usually take more work than this. 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: So if you meet someone and before you really know 42 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: if they're funny, or if you have things in common 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: or any of that, you find out you're not politically aligned, 44 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I think it's fine to say, eh, not going to 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: pursue this friendship, especially if your political ideals do really 46 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: matter to you. Plenty of people are mostly apolitical, so 47 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: if that's you, great but if your politics do matter 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: to you, I say keep the old friends with whom 49 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: you're not politically aligned, But no need to be in 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: any big rush to make more of these. As you 51 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: get older, it's hard to maintain friendships. And I said 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: in a previous episode that things like hobbies might not 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: actually matter in new friendships as much as we think, 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: but values and outlook they might matter a lot more. Again, 55 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: to me, I find humor to be top of the list, 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: like our are we laughing at the same stuff? Can 57 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: we make each other laugh? That matters to me. So 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: if I meet a super leftist, I find them really 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: funny and we have amazing banter like that's to me 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: as a friend, But a relationship that I have to 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: work at and we don't have ideals in common. Tougher Again, 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: you meet somebody at work, you crack up all through 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: lunch and then she's voting for Kamala and you're voting 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: for Trump. But doesn't mean you can't be friends. You're 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: already pick her in grown up friendships. Give yourself permission 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: to sort by politics too. That's all I'm saying. Don't 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: discard people like JD Van said, but having similar lifestyles 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: to new friends that you make as a grown up 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: will go a long way into turning them into old friends. 70 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: If you've got thoughts on this, drop me an email 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz Show at gmail dot com.

But yeah, 106 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: but it's I'm glad people like it, and it's always 107 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: fun to have people mention it to me. 108 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: So I did some research on you before the show. 109 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: Learned a lot of things I didn't know.

Actually I didn't grow up on pum 112 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: Beach where Mark Lago is. I grew up where the 113 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: people who had jobs live. As if my dad had 114 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: a job. 115 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: Most poor people yeah, but. 116 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 3: I knew a lot of people who lived on Palm Beach. 117 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's a funny town. Uh so, But 118 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: I remember when Marlago was empty. That kid was an 119 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 3: abandoned mansion and no one lived there. And then Trump 120 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: bought it. He bought it after I had moved and stuff. 121 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, I grew up in South Florida. 122 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: I love Palm Beach. 123 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: I you know a lot of people compared to like 124 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: other rich you know enclaves like the Hampton's or whatever. 125 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: But Palm Beach is so colorful and unusual. I just 126 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 2: I love it there. 127 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if if funny were no object, I'd live 128 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: on the island. 129 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: A friend of mine from high school had hit it 130 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 3: big and he's got a house a block off the 131 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: beach about Worth End. 132 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 2: I didn't even mind, like three blocks off the beach. 133 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: I'll take it. But it's like he bought that not 134 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: because he cares about living on Palm Beach, but because 135 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: the there is it's a public beach. But to actually 136 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: get there, you'd have to walk like five miles and 137 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: there's nowhere to park, and yeah, they know what they're 138 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: doing over there. 139 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so how did you get into acting.

As a kid, 142 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: I did plays, and it's just always fascinated by movies. 143 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I was telling someone yesterday, we were talking 144 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: about old movies that we saw in the theaters, because 145 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: that's part of my home thing I'm trying to do, 146 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: which we'll get to eventually, gotta. I remember like just 147 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: riding my bike to the movie theater alone to see 148 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 3: a matinee of Young Frank and stuff. You know, I 149 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: remember running home to get home in time to watch. 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: I loved Lucy. I was just I loved comedy.

So I just wanted 157 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: to be in movies. I wanted to be an actor, 158 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: but then I was funny. 159 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Do people still try to be funny? I feel like 160 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot of funniness has been lost. Do you see 161 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: that or do you still find funny around. 162 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: There's so much funny a round.
