10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: this is what we do, a little quick round. I

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: don't want to overthink about it, but start with your

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 4: favorite author of your favorite book.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 5: So when I get to read, and I think it's

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 5: a real luxury to get to read something that isn't

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 5: a script. I really love. The two things out love

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 5: more than anything are history and comedy. Mostly everbiography is

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 5: all the LBJ biographies. I've read all of them, Doris

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 5: Karns or Robert Kara's incredible books and there those are

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 5: some of my favorite because a their history there and

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 5: they're also LBJ is a great leadership story. So I

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 5: always read through his kind of role modelings around things.

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, those Robert Kara books are it's a summer

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 5: to do a whole all of the time.

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: Does it do you just fall into it or does

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 4: it take you? Like by chapter twenty you went to

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: it like the first two hundred pages, Like, that's my problem.

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 5: If it's somebody I really admire all in, if it's

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 5: somebody I'm really like, really I'm in and getting tough

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 5: through the slow parts, you know, all lot of things. Yeah.

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 5: Walter Isaacson, who writes great biographers as well, a bunch

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 5: of great ones. But for me, the Ben Franklin one

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: is the most mpelling and interesting read. I'm sitting on

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 5: my nightstand right now is the autobiography of Sergeant Schreiver.

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 5: It's called Sarge, a guy who accomplished more in a

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: couple of years than most presidents ever did. And he

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: was not a president. He created the Peace Corps and

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: he is like all this is like in six months

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: that are still happening today in this country. And he's

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: just a huge inspiration and he was a The book

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 5: is daunting, it's very long, but it's really fascinating and

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 5: I just I read it in bites.

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: And bites, I mean, just to sort of say the

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: different kind of man sitting at the Stable.

00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: Mine is Shelley Winters and.

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 5: Chaer and where comedy were comedy and biography meets. For me,

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: it was Woody Allen's biography Apropos of Nothing, maybe one

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 5: of the best biographies ever, autobiography ever written. And Steve Martin,

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: Steve was standing born, standing up, really great.

49
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: So now okay, right, I mean also like it's a

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 2: speed round. Yeah, it always happened, violated speed.

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: And on the show I did with Jeff Go and

Speaker 2: There, You Go, Best Wisdom important to you.

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 5: Early on in Netflix, I had made a goofy decision

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: and read told me when I kind of tried to

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 5: shuck the blame to somebody else, and he said to me,

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 5: you're not allowed to let me drive us off a cliff.

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: So it was that you own your responsible for the

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 5: things that you're responsible for, and just you and Netta's

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 5: stuck with me.

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: That's good. The other can I do?

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: To Ron Eisenberg, who was the CEO of et D,

67
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: who was a CPA and a lawyer, so you could

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 5: never win an argument with this guy. But he was

69
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: a supervisionary too, and he told me one day we

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: were walking in and he said, I was dressed casually

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: going into work, and it was a pretty casual industry,

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: and he goes, you should dress like you just might

73
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: have to talk to a lawyer every day. You should

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: dress like you just might have talked to a lawyer.

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: I thought that was good advice. Movie most influenced you?

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 5: Probably, Actually the most influenced would be probably After Hours,

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 5: Smart and Scorsese's movie. I say that's most influential because,

78
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: as I recall, it's the first time I remember watching

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 5: a movie realizing it wasn't just big TV there really

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 5: recognizing the art form of movies. It was probably After Hours.

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: We just watched it. It's a crazy movie. It's really good.

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: Pet Peeve.

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 5: Oh, I was gonna say being late, but it's my

00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: own pet peeve. Like I I, I'm often late, and

Speaker 2: your first movie that you bonded over?

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 5: M Yeah, this is a weird answer, but it's It

96
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: was a documentary series called I on the Prize that

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 5: we talked about on our first date, which led us

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 5: down to some very crazy conversations for a first date

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 5: to talk about civil rights and history. But it's we

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: had both seen it and fallen in love with it

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 5: when it was on PBS, and we talked about it forever.

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 5: There are other movies that we love together.

103
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: That's the one that was the one.

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 5: Nicole loves the movie Marty, and I think she thinks

105
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: I think it's I'm pretty sure it's her favorite movie

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 5: of all time. I'm sure it is, actually, and we

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: it was very hard to find for a long time,

108
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: so that the other thing we spent a lot of

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: time in early on about a round the movie was

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: trying to find Marty.

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,560
