1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: It's one or two point seven kiss FM. I think

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: in my life I have watched Kevin Bacon do a

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of things and said to myself, I could not

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: do that. I just would not be able to do that.

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: I would be good at that. Watch him over his career.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Now I watch him on social media and I think

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: I cannot do that as as honestly and as well

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: as Kevin Bacon does that. And Kevin Bacon is going

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: to do an interview very well right now, Kevin, how are.

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: You, man?

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 3: I'm good. But let me just say it's interesting that

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: you bring that up because part of you we're going

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: to talk about this podcast that I'm launching, and part

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: of the thing that I have been challenged by is

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: looking at something that I'm not nearly as good as

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: you are, for instance, and that is interviewing people. It's

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: not that easy, you know. You think that, after being

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: on the other side of the tables for so many years,

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: that I'd be like, oh, yeah, this is a breeze.

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: But it's it's well.

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: It's funny that you are doing this. So Kevin is

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: launching and has done this podcast. We'll tell you about

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: your six degrees with Kevin bacon. But I remember when

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: I was working at a local San Francisco Fox affiliate,

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: come and to interview you, and I remember, you know,

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: the night before doing my studying and the morning of

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: getting the butterflies and being nervous, and you know, at

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that time, I was thinking about the question more than

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: listening to the answer. But it seems like with the

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: podcast format, you really get a chance to you come

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: up with your questions, but you get a chance to

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: really go with the flow of a conversation.

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Right, it's a little less structured, Well.

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: It really is. It is less structured, and it is

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: kind of exciting that it goes places that you really

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: don't expect it to go, and you learn things that

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: you didn't expect to learn. And you know, in the

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: case of this one, I'm kind of the foremat as

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: in the first action shooting a breeze with all kinds

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: of different you know, celebrities, actors and musicians, television personalities,

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: et cetera. And then in the second half of what

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: we bring in the person that is responsible or running

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: or is the boots on the ground for their foundation

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: or something that they care deeply about. So while you

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: know it has a great fun celebrity component, and you know,

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: the connections that I have that people are always kind

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 3: of fun to, you know, explore, and some people I

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: work with, some people I haven't. But but there's also

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: a really a really good inspiring piece to it, and

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: that is that there are a lot of people, really

51
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: super famous people who care deeply about certain issues and

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: sometimes these things are really really intensely personal to them.

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: But then there's also a lot of unsung heroes out

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: there that are are are doing great work, and this

55
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: gives them a kind of a platform to be seen

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: and heard.

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Six Degrees with Kevin Bacon is the name of the podcast,

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and this is something that you know, we've said for

59
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: so many years, but you're really putting into good use here,

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: aren't you.

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean we started six degrees dot Org in

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven mostly because I was, you know,

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: the game just did not seem to be going away.

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: It just had this incredible hang time, and I thought, well,

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 3: is there is there a way to take that idea

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: and try to make it, you know, a force for

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: for good. And my opinion about the six Degrees thing

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: is that if you take if you take Kevin Bagan

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: out of it. It really is a beautiful concept, and

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: the concept is that we are all connected on this

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: planet and that you know, we need to take care

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: of each other.

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Who have you talked to so far? I know you've

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: done a few of these.

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Who have you talked to you so far that's really

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: struck you with something that they've done for good?

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: You know what? They all across the board? Uh, everyone

78
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: is has been incredibly inspirational. Has been so many well,

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: I mean we've had Mark Ruffalo, We've had Matthew McConaughey, Music, Jewel,

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: Thomas Brett, Bear Grills, you know, really really interesting, great

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: work all across the board. And you know, it's exciting

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: every time I see that there's a new persons that's

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: ready to come and talk about what it is that

84
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 3: they care about. I get really super excited.

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon on to check that out, by the way,

86
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: six Degrees with Kevin Bacon on iHeartRadio or wherever you

87
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. And you're truly a legend on social media.

88
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Did you know you had a knack for whispering in

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the night making eggs and oatmeal?

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: I mean it looks so I definitely did natural.

91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: I definitely did not. And I was sort of resistant

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: to social media when it first kind of came out,

93
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: mostly because I got involved really because because of six

94
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: degrees dot org, because I thought to myself, well, this

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: is going to be social media with a social conscience

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: and and and I think that that was that was

97
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: the initial thing that brought me into it. And I

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: was kind of, you know, I don't know, just sort

99
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: of playing around with it, trying to figure it out.

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't really you know, doing very well with it.

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: But then somebody said, you know, if you're going to

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: do something, you might as well learn how to do

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: it good. And so I got some advice and I

104
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: started to, uh, you know, just kind of just try

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: to have but it's just fun sort of with it.

106
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: And the interesting thing is that I've always picked up

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: a camera, video camera, and uh, you know, long before

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: social media and long before smartphones, and made dumb little

109
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: movies and done little things and sent them, you know,

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: to the kids or to cure or whatever. That's always

111
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: been something that I like to do. I mean, to me,

112
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: being creative is just whether it's writing a song or

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: make in the movie or doing a big movie or

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: whatever it happened to be acting directing, you know, I

115
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: just it's it's it's fun to be creative. It keeps

116
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: me alive.

117
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon, and it's great to chat with you. Congrats

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: on this venture, and uh, I really appreciate you taking

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: the time to share it with us. And well done

120

Speaker 1: with well done at MSG Billy Joel.

121

Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, it's pretty cool.

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: And so yeah, somebody said, well, that must have been

124
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: on your bucket list. I said, I thought that a

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: bucket list was things that you actually imagine could happen.

126
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: So I say, this is on my NFW list, you know,

127
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: and once it was once it was done, I was

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: I was certainly on cloud night.

129
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: Well that's cool, all right, man, thanks for coming. We'll

Speaker 1: Garden with Billy Joel. Here, listen to this Billy Joel,

135
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: I am legendary. Right that Fallout boy song is a

136
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Billy Joel song. Then you fall out that song?

00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: But that was on his n FW list, got it? Yeah?

138
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760

139
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: w A I'm thinking of that, but I'm just thinking

140
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: of something else. N SFW and is that one? Is

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: that the one not suitable for work?

142
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: It's like they use it a lot.

143
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: No, I'm thinking of a boy band that was n

144
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: not to be confused with l m F A O No.

145
