0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, it's Bruce.

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for pulling up a chair for another bonus episode

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:12.559
<v Speaker 2>of Table for Two.

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I recently sat down for a wonderful lunch with Ted Surrandos.

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Ted is the co CEO of Netflix and the husband

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 3>of another Table for Two guests, Nicole Avonte. I'm excited

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 3>for you to hear our full episode next week, but

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 3>for today, I hope you enjoy this fun lightning round.

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Now we're gonna do a little speed round. Okay, okay,

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 4>this is what we do, a little quick round. I

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 4>don't want to overthink about it, but start with your

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 4>favorite author of your favorite book.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 5>So when I get to read, and I think it's

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 5>a real luxury to get to read something that isn't

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 5>a script. I really love. The two things out love

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 5>more than anything are history and comedy. Mostly everbiography is

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 5>all the LBJ biographies. I've read all of them, Doris

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 5>Karns or Robert Kara's incredible books and there those are

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 5>some of my favorite because a their history there and

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 5>they're also LBJ is a great leadership story. So I

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 5>always read through his kind of role modelings around things.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, those Robert Kara books are it's a summer

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 5>to do a whole all of the time.

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 4>Does it do you just fall into it or does

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 4>it take you? Like by chapter twenty you went to

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 4>it like the first two hundred pages, Like, that's my problem.

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 5>If it's somebody I really admire all in, if it's

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 5>somebody I'm really like, really I'm in and getting tough

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 5>through the slow parts, you know, all lot of things. Yeah.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Walter Isaacson, who writes great biographers as well, a bunch

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 5>of great ones. But for me, the Ben Franklin one

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 5>is the most mpelling and interesting read. I'm sitting on

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 5>my nightstand right now is the autobiography of Sergeant Schreiver.

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 5>It's called Sarge, a guy who accomplished more in a

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 5>couple of years than most presidents ever did. And he

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 5>was not a president. He created the Peace Corps and

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 5>he is like all this is like in six months

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 5>that are still happening today in this country. And he's

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 5>just a huge inspiration and he was a The book

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 5>is daunting, it's very long, but it's really fascinating and

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 5>I just I read it in bites.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 4>And bites, I mean, just to sort of say the

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 4>different kind of man sitting at the Stable.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Mine is Shelley Winters and.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 5>Chaer and where comedy were comedy and biography meets. For me,

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 5>it was Woody Allen's biography Apropos of Nothing, maybe one

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 5>of the best biographies ever, autobiography ever written. And Steve Martin,

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 5>Steve was standing born, standing up, really great.

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So now okay, right, I mean also like it's a

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.839
<v Speaker 2>speed round. Yeah, it always happened, violated speed.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 4>And on the show I did with Jeff Go and

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 4>it was like, I like to read a book, ye yeah, yea,

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 4>yeah yeah.

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Favorite color blue beach or snow vacation beach.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 5>Favorite song U ever, my go to karaoke song is

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 5>That's Life by Frank Sinacho's must be.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>There, You Go, Best Wisdom important to you.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 5>Early on in Netflix, I had made a goofy decision

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 5>and read told me when I kind of tried to

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 5>shuck the blame to somebody else, and he said to me,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 5>you're not allowed to let me drive us off a cliff.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 5>So it was that you own your responsible for the

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 5>things that you're responsible for, and just you and Netta's

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 5>stuck with me.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>That's good. The other can I do?

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 5>To Ron Eisenberg, who was the CEO of et D,

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 5>who was a CPA and a lawyer, so you could

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 5>never win an argument with this guy. But he was

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 5>a supervisionary too, and he told me one day we

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 5>were walking in and he said, I was dressed casually

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 5>going into work, and it was a pretty casual industry,

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 5>and he goes, you should dress like you just might

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 5>have to talk to a lawyer every day. You should

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 5>dress like you just might have talked to a lawyer.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was good advice. Movie most influenced you?

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Probably, Actually the most influenced would be probably After Hours,

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Smart and Scorsese's movie. I say that's most influential because,

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 5>as I recall, it's the first time I remember watching

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.559
<v Speaker 5>a movie realizing it wasn't just big TV there really

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 5>recognizing the art form of movies. It was probably After Hours.

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 2>We just watched it. It's a crazy movie. It's really good.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Pet Peeve.

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I was gonna say being late, but it's my

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 5>own pet peeve. Like I I, I'm often late, and

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 5>it's my.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Own sunrise or sunset?

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.119
<v Speaker 5>Sunset?

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:39.600

<v Speaker 5>I sleep pretty good now, honestly excitement?

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, yeah, that's great excitement for tomorrow. What brings

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you joy my kids?

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 5>Nicole cooking?

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>What movie did you and Nicole bond over? What was

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>your first movie that you bonded over?

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 5>M Yeah, this is a weird answer, but it's It

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 5>was a documentary series called I on the Prize that

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 5>we talked about on our first date, which led us

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 5>down to some very crazy conversations for a first date

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 5>to talk about civil rights and history. But it's we

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 5>had both seen it and fallen in love with it

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.679
<v Speaker 5>when it was on PBS, and we talked about it forever.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 5>There are other movies that we love together.

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the one that was the one.

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Nicole loves the movie Marty, and I think she thinks

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 5>I think it's I'm pretty sure it's her favorite movie

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 5>of all time. I'm sure it is, actually, and we

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 5>it was very hard to find for a long time,

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 5>so that the other thing we spent a lot of

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 5>time in early on about a round the movie was

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 5>trying to find Marty.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like no one younger than us would know that.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 4>Thirty year we should do I'm going to do a
