Speaker 1: Pushkin. Hi. I'm Phil Donahue and I'm Marlowe Thomas, and
Speaker 1: we're going on a series of double dates to find
Speaker 1: out what makes a marriage last. To visit with actor
Speaker 1: John Legozamo and his wife Justine. All we had to
Speaker 1: do was get in a cab and head downtown to
Speaker 1: Greenwich Village. It seemed easy enough. We had the address,
Speaker 1: but as we cruised down their block amidst all these
Speaker 1: beautiful brownstones, we could not, for the life of us
Speaker 1: find number fifty one. What it's said on the building
Speaker 1: was eighteen fifty four, eighteen fifty little plaque outside outside,
Speaker 1: So you think it's ten years before, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1: I love the field knows this Kindiston. Don't play trivial
Speaker 1: for suit with him. You believe the room, they won't
Speaker 1: fly forget trivial pursuit. This house was just teeming with history.
Speaker 1: We've lived here about ten years in this house. And
Speaker 1: is there is there another family above you or do
Speaker 1: you have the home? We have the whole thing. Our
Speaker 1: kids live upstairs when they're home, both in college, their
Speaker 1: home for the summer, so it's just us. New a
Speaker 1: little garden in the back. We have a garden in
Speaker 1: the back that John takes care of. And did you
Speaker 1: remodel a lot? We didn't gut renovation pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we restorted back to what it was originally. Oh as closed,
Speaker 1: like this floor from eight nineteen hundreds. Yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: this part of the floor is the original floor from that.
Speaker 1: You can tell by how beat up it is. I
Speaker 1: mean it was underneath exactly exactly. We settled in by
Speaker 1: a window overlooking the tree lined street outside. So how
Speaker 1: did you, guys? Meat? Were you? We met out a
Speaker 1: movie actually John was in Carlito's Way and I was
Speaker 1: a costume pa and we met at a fitting. No,
Speaker 1: I mean the first time I saw her it was
Speaker 1: it was electric. I mean it was incredible, and she's
Speaker 1: like the finest one I ever seen. And then we
Speaker 1: started dating and then you know, and she said yes yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: eventually he said yes, yeah. I took a few years.
Speaker 1: Was it electric for you? Absolutely? I knew, really, I
Speaker 1: knew immediately that we should be together, But there was
Speaker 1: at first fitting. I really did. Yeah. So she was
Speaker 1: so first of all, incredibly sexy and beautiful, but also
Speaker 1: at the same time she was like something really connected.
Speaker 1: But I knew who he was from because he had
Speaker 1: already done Mombo Malthain Spicker and so I was working
Speaker 1: for the costume designers and I asked them if I
Speaker 1: could go to the fitting and how Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was it was kiss may I mean she made it
Speaker 1: happen in sort of a way and then it just yeah.
Speaker 1: So and you had been married already. I was engaged.
Speaker 1: I was engaged at the time that I was. We
Speaker 1: knew each other a long time before we started dating.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not the police. Were you ever married before? No? No, No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't either. Well you were mad before two? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He had five children? Whoa yeah in six years birth
Speaker 1: control was yeah. But it was interesting because I didn't
Speaker 1: get married to him and I was forty And he said, uh,
Speaker 1: how did you know? You know not to get married.
Speaker 1: How did you not do it? I said, because I'm
Speaker 1: a female. You know, guys think you know somebody else
Speaker 1: is gonna take care of all. Yeah, I knew. I
Speaker 1: don't want. I don't want to do that. I want
Speaker 1: to be an actress, yeah, I want. I want to study,
Speaker 1: I want to travel. I went to London and did
Speaker 1: a play and you know, I was going but I
Speaker 1: still forward thanking for somebody even back then. Oh yeah sixties. Yeah. Um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so you met and you got married much later if
Speaker 1: we had children first, So our kids, our daughter was
Speaker 1: born in nineteen ninety nine. Why we just thought you
Speaker 1: didn't want to be married or I think we had
Speaker 1: different reasons. Actually, for me, I didn't feel like I
Speaker 1: wanted to be married. Um, it just didn't mean anything
Speaker 1: to me. I always knew my whole life I wanted
Speaker 1: to have children, but I just never really saw marriage
Speaker 1: as part of my life. I didn't see the point.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't it. I thought that was really sexy.
Speaker 1: I thought that was like, oh yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: You'll raise again Katholic and Seven day Adventists. Oh really?
Speaker 1: And then all my family converted to Evangelism. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: How did your parents feel about you not marrying a Latin?
Speaker 1: Was that a problem? We'd line of people. We don't
Speaker 1: have those issues. We love everybody, We want everybody to
Speaker 1: love everybody. Yeah, we fearful. So I was raised sort
Speaker 1: of Jewish, but barely. I mean really, my parents were atheists,
Speaker 1: so they never said a word about it. I think
Speaker 1: they were so relieved that I had found someone I
Speaker 1: don't know that they ever thought I really would. I
Speaker 1: was extremely independent, and so when they saw how much
Speaker 1: I loved John and how what a wonderful man he is, Uh,
Speaker 1: they never said a word about it. They were a
Speaker 1: beautiful man. They really accepted me like right away, and
Speaker 1: I love them too. You know it was easy. What
Speaker 1: made you get married? Huh? With the kids are older
Speaker 1: and you felt it think, yeah, I think we were
Speaker 1: going they were going to go to school, and we'd
Speaker 1: have we'd have separate different names, and all that stuff
Speaker 1: gets complicated for me. I felt after nine eleven happened
Speaker 1: and there was all that talk of like you can't
Speaker 1: travel with someone's nut, you don't have to say name,
Speaker 1: and there was like this weird moment, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: made you really think, rethink life and the values of
Speaker 1: in your values. And so we got married, We got
Speaker 1: a country house. We just changed life a little bit,
Speaker 1: just to just focus more on on the moments, the
Speaker 1: important moments, you mean, the family, Yeah, family, values, friends,
Speaker 1: you know, the things that really matter that really count.
Speaker 1: At the end, I'm Lebanese, which is actually Arab, right,
Speaker 1: and so people were talking terribly about right people, so
Speaker 1: you know, and I found myself having to say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of arab Lebanese jo. I couldn't
Speaker 1: let it go. No, you have to have to speak up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So coming from different cultures, because you really did come
Speaker 1: from the Hispanic culture, right, Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean
Speaker 1: we came from very different socio economic backgrounds. But I
Speaker 1: think opposites attract for a reason. I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: it's just that such a natural thing. So what was
Speaker 1: your background? Us? Upper west Side Private School in New York. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, my grandparents came from Russia, and then my
Speaker 1: parents were both born in Brooklyn, and my dad worked
Speaker 1: hard and after the Upper Warst Side exactly so, and
Speaker 1: my nice Jewish Yeah, I went to Field thin everyone
Speaker 1: I knew was just like me, and it was a
Speaker 1: pretty small world. And yeah, and then I grew up,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of ghetto in Queens and you know,
Speaker 1: getting in trouble and fresh air, fun kid. And then
Speaker 1: I started to find creativity as a as a sort
Speaker 1: of means that saved me, gave me a future, and
Speaker 1: gave me a whole way of using everything that I'd
Speaker 1: grown up with as ammunition and as and I used
Speaker 1: art as a weapon to you must have been getting
Speaker 1: left too. I mean, talking about it as a kid,
Speaker 1: did you get left? Oh? Yeah, you know. I was
Speaker 1: a funny guy. Yeah, at the same time, but I
Speaker 1: was also getting into a lot of trouble because I
Speaker 1: couldn't I wouldn't shut up. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I came up at a time where I
Speaker 1: felt like we were incredibly invisible, even though in my
Speaker 1: personal life Latin people were everywhere, but they weren't in
Speaker 1: the media. And it's still kind of like that, were
Speaker 1: still at less than three percent of the faces in
Speaker 1: front of the camera, and yet LA is fifty percent Latin.
Speaker 1: How is that possible. It's almost like present day apartheid
Speaker 1: and in New York City where the same number as
Speaker 1: white people, and yet there was such a dearth. It
Speaker 1: was just a desert of our stories being told. And
Speaker 1: I just couldn't understand that, and I didn't want it
Speaker 1: to perpetuate it. So I started writing my stories so
Speaker 1: I could see my people even though I was playing
Speaker 1: them all right, when you say that you were living
Speaker 1: among them, did you live in Hispanic neighborhood? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood. You know, my school
Speaker 1: was black and Hispanic Latin into New York. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: went down. I went to high school at Bertram High. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of pride. And that's that's
Speaker 1: I guess that's what gave me the confidence that our
Speaker 1: stories aren't any lesser. Well, i've seen you in concert.
Speaker 1: We're both every time. Actually, yeah, that's awesome. Thank you
Speaker 1: for supporting. I know it came down to the public, remember, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we love the Moron Show and then Lumbo Mouth. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was nineteen ninety. Yeah. With John's cultural identity so
Speaker 1: central to his life, I wanted to know if Justine
Speaker 1: felt connected to a Jewish community. Not at all, except
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the people that I grew
Speaker 1: up with are so I hear about it through them.
Speaker 1: But I haven't been to a temple since I was
Speaker 1: ten twelve years old. Way, did you give anything to
Speaker 1: your kids like that? Or did you celebrate Christmas or oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did. We celebrate Christmas and Eastern and then my
Speaker 1: family comes and they celebrate Passover as well. Yea, my
Speaker 1: mom comes to all that stuff. We love getting to
Speaker 1: love traditions. But I mean I'm not religious. I mean
Speaker 1: I believe in in in a higher power, and we
Speaker 1: did this. We did a Palm Sunday. We would go
Speaker 1: Palm Sunday. And it's beautiful because these people improvised this
Speaker 1: and then there's a lot of singing, this gospel, this
Speaker 1: Latin music. It's so beautiful. I love the colors and
Speaker 1: the you know, the robes, and yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: But I don't believe in God. I don't have that
Speaker 1: sort of a faith, but I certainly believe in God.
Speaker 1: I think there's somebody there. He always says, will you
Speaker 1: think they're in the sky as I didn't think. Marlo
Speaker 1: blesses herself in turbulence when we're on an airplane. That's smart.
Speaker 1: Calms down, we'll have more. After a quick break, we're
Speaker 1: back to our interview with John and Justine Legozamo. While
Speaker 1: they seem entirely on the same page, they grew up
Speaker 1: in very different circumstances. So challenges do arise, especially when
Speaker 1: you're raising kids and sharing a home. To me, I
Speaker 1: always thought like, of course they'll go to private school.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought it wouldn't even occur to me
Speaker 1: to do anything else. I think, But we were just
Speaker 1: actually today having this conversation where John really wanted them
Speaker 1: to go to public school and because that's all I knew.
Speaker 1: I grew up going to public schools. And why did
Speaker 1: you think that's better? Just because the real world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a real world, and everybody's of color, and it
Speaker 1: just it was so much fun and I don't know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it was tough, but a lot of times it
Speaker 1: was incredibly fun and exciting. And I learned so much
Speaker 1: in school from people then, not from the teachers that
Speaker 1: were different. You mean, just our culture is so much
Speaker 1: from black and land culture is so much fun that
Speaker 1: we're always in and dated with it, you know, right,
Speaker 1: I loved it. So was that an accommodation that you
Speaker 1: decided to make. I don't know that you voiced those
Speaker 1: feelings at that time. Oh you did, Yeah, I just said,
Speaker 1: listen in the ear it but your kids went to
Speaker 1: public school? No, they went to private schools. Oh so
Speaker 1: you may become yes, interesting why I tried to weigh
Speaker 1: all all the factors and go, you know, they're going
Speaker 1: to have a celebrity name, and maybe that might not
Speaker 1: be so easy going into a public school system to
Speaker 1: have coming from where where we come. Now, our kids
Speaker 1: this sort of new income. Right, it may not be
Speaker 1: as comfortable, right, you know what I mean? Like I
Speaker 1: had nothing, and all the kids that I went to
Speaker 1: school had nothing, so we were all pretty even an equal, right.
Speaker 1: But what happens if you if you have all this
Speaker 1: and you're and then you go to school with kids
Speaker 1: that don't have enough? How is that going to feel? Right?
Speaker 1: So I thought maybe that might not be so good
Speaker 1: a name. You have a name, then it's like, is
Speaker 1: that going to cause problems and strife? Right? Now? We
Speaker 1: live in the Brownstone because I need separation to be
Speaker 1: able to write. Oh, I can't be on the same
Speaker 1: floor because I can't write. So she made that concession
Speaker 1: living in a Brownson when she rather live in an apartment.
Speaker 1: We tried living in an apartment for a few years,
Speaker 1: but John was so miserable that it just wasn't worth it. Hi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's too much stimuli and I can't. I need
Speaker 1: to be with my thoughts. I mean, look, I married
Speaker 1: an actor who was his life. It was no surprise
Speaker 1: to me. I knew him for years before we got married.
Speaker 1: I knew that he was going to be traveling a lot,
Speaker 1: and that there was no clear schedule and it's not easy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're like circus folk, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: like I've been an actor for so long that I
Speaker 1: didn't understand the sacrifices she was making because I was
Speaker 1: so used to being uprooted all the time. I had
Speaker 1: no control over geography or time or destiny. That you
Speaker 1: just surrendered to it. You got work. But that's what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, I mean it was that's hard on
Speaker 1: a on a marriage, It's hard on race. Did you
Speaker 1: take We tried at first, Yeah, but it was really
Speaker 1: difficult to travel till they were five. We took them
Speaker 1: and then we stopped and then I stopped, We stopped going.
Speaker 1: Was that hard on your marriage? Yeah? But you know
Speaker 1: we tried to keep a two week maximum. That was
Speaker 1: a thing. I don't remember any sort of that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that was that was That was may We tried.
Speaker 1: But you know there were months. We didn't see each
Speaker 1: other for months at a time. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: was it hard on the marriage. I mean I guess
Speaker 1: at times, you know, marriage isn't easy. So when all
Speaker 1: that traveling, there must have been some jealousy, right, a
Speaker 1: little bit of jealousy. I was very jealous of Pella,
Speaker 1: you know right now when when he traveled or yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's away and the women love famous people or
Speaker 1: men love famous people, and you know, there's something alluring
Speaker 1: about a person who's talented, very sorry, oh and famous, famous,
Speaker 1: good looking, funny. Hey yeah, No, I think the jealousy
Speaker 1: is the other way around, right, Yeah. I am not
Speaker 1: a jealous person. I don't have it. It's but I'm
Speaker 1: a jealous person. Oh yeah, yeah, So when you left
Speaker 1: for a long time, that musn't have been hard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that bothers me. Yeah, you know, and like yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: no I had issues, So tell us what did you do? Well?
Speaker 1: We talked about it. We talked. We were pretty articular.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like fighting. It was just more like, you know,
Speaker 1: voicing that, you know, I'm uncomfortable with this. I'm uncomfortable
Speaker 1: with that. That bothers me. And she's incredibly understanding about that.
Speaker 1: So like male friends and stuff like that. Right, that's
Speaker 1: exactly because I lived in Hollywood and Phil lived in
Speaker 1: Chicago when we first met. In our first a couple
Speaker 1: of years of marriage, we traveled and he would read
Speaker 1: the paper that I'd gone out to dinner with, like
Speaker 1: Chuck Groton, who like an old old friend. And he'd
Speaker 1: say he went to dinner with Chuck Rodan. I'd say,
Speaker 1: he's like this old friend of mine. He directed me
Speaker 1: in Two Things, co starred with him in a movie.
Speaker 1: You know he said, yeah, but you know I feel
Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right right, there's the
Speaker 1: two of you. Yeah yeah, okay, did you stop? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean too, Yeah, it's not worth it. But I
Speaker 1: would watch him on television and all these women would
Speaker 1: look at him like it was a big ice cream cone.
Speaker 1: I think, oh God, are they going to come up
Speaker 1: to him afterward and tickle his fancy? And what's going
Speaker 1: to happen here? None of that matters because I know
Speaker 1: that his ultimate commitment is to me and my children
Speaker 1: and our life together. How do you fight and how
Speaker 1: do you come back? Because if you don't know how
Speaker 1: to come back, that's usually how marriages. I believe you
Speaker 1: shouldn't say things you can't take back, and I try.
Speaker 1: She's not as so as good. She's not as good
Speaker 1: as with that part of it. I mean, I'm more mean.
Speaker 1: She'll say anything. I can be enraged, but not say
Speaker 1: things that you can't take back or do things that
Speaker 1: I can't take back. It's very rare that he really
Speaker 1: loses control. When I say rare, I mean less than
Speaker 1: five times and the whole time I've known him. When
Speaker 1: you are less, I have less of that skill. Maybe
Speaker 1: I mean I don't get mad like that very often,
Speaker 1: but maybe tend to lose control of my emotions more
Speaker 1: than John does. And then how do you come back?
Speaker 1: Who comes back? John? Before? You should be me all
Speaker 1: the time? It was always me like, come out, Let's
Speaker 1: try to make up. There's not going to bed mad,
Speaker 1: Let's try to fix this up. We just let it
Speaker 1: out and we're fine. Now let's just go back to talking.
Speaker 1: Let's talk it out. And I don't have as much
Speaker 1: problem apologizing, I think as I is too. I'll just
Speaker 1: I'm much easier to say I'm sorry. I think getting
Speaker 1: rid of that kind of pride is so important. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't help anything. Who was it that said to it? Oh?
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner said? Whoever said that love me is ever
Speaker 1: having to say your sorary has never been in love? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: If you don't say I'm sorry, you're in love really right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because you got you gotta make amend and you got
Speaker 1: it often, and you gotta take accountability. If you don't
Speaker 1: have somebody who's accountable, I mean, who, what kind of
Speaker 1: those were you with? Try right? When when do you
Speaker 1: think either one of you can answer this that you
Speaker 1: first trusted, knew that this was a person you could trust,
Speaker 1: you know, with not just sexually, but with your head,
Speaker 1: you know, with your heart, you know. To give you
Speaker 1: an example, when Phil and I were going together, we
Speaker 1: met in January and this was August, and so this
Speaker 1: was his big vacations, two week vacation. At While we're
Speaker 1: in Italy, I get a phone call from Elaine May,
Speaker 1: who you know, my good friend and we had worked
Speaker 1: on a screen screenplay together. And she said, Mike Nichols
Speaker 1: movie has just gone has just gone caput, and he's
Speaker 1: looking for a new project. You've got to come back
Speaker 1: right away because we have a chance to get Mike
Speaker 1: to direct this. I said, Oh God, Atlanta, this guy's
Speaker 1: only got two weeks. This is it. I said, if
Speaker 1: I if I come back now, I'm done with this
Speaker 1: guy and I we're pretty crazy about each other. It
Speaker 1: was a really hot time in It'll lay the two
Speaker 1: of us. Ah, God Jesus, So I go back to
Speaker 1: the room and I explain the whole thing. He says, well,
Speaker 1: it has to be this week, but is it's a funeral.
Speaker 1: I said, no, it's no, but it's just you know,
Speaker 1: he's going to decide now. And he looked at me
Speaker 1: like I was the most disposable human being he'd never
Speaker 1: known in his life. And I and I said, look,
Speaker 1: I don't know your business, but and I know this
Speaker 1: is a really great time we're having, but is there
Speaker 1: anybody if you got a call to do an interview
Speaker 1: with that you would leave? And he just thought a moment,
Speaker 1: he said, Jimmy Carter, and when president at the time,
Speaker 1: right right right when he said that, I thought, I
Speaker 1: can trust this guy. This guy is not going to
Speaker 1: bullshit me, right and say no, there's no one. There's
Speaker 1: no way I would leave you. You know that he
Speaker 1: was willing to think and say, yeah, okay, there's one
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, and I I think I feel deeply in
Speaker 1: love with him that he would not, you know, sexually
Speaker 1: calm me like that. Anyway, I didn't go. We didn't
Speaker 1: get Mike anyway, but I didn't leave for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think those are those are important life moments. In life,
Speaker 1: when you go this person i'm with is more important
Speaker 1: than my career, right, you have to make that decision
Speaker 1: and show it. Sometimes that's what I could trust. That.
Speaker 1: That's I don't know of a safer thing than that.
Speaker 1: That's a big one. Mine is a small one, though,
Speaker 1: but even a small one. Small one is that we
Speaker 1: had a date early on, and it was at the Angelica,
Speaker 1: because when the Angelica was everything, you know, like all
Speaker 1: the hipsters, everybody was cool, was going to Angelica to
Speaker 1: see the latest in the indie film and you were late,
Speaker 1: and I flipped out over lateness. Really it sets me
Speaker 1: off because I was pathologically early, so I was there
Speaker 1: for like forty five minutes too early. And then she
Speaker 1: comes late, so I was really upset, and she was
Speaker 1: so upset. She started crying and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you don't remember any of this, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: if you're standing in the corner. And I was very upset,
Speaker 1: trying to not be upset with its very early odd
Speaker 1: and but she was okay with me being this hotheaded
Speaker 1: about a stupid little thing, and yeah, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she cares about my feelings and she doesn't.
Speaker 1: She's not saying you're an asshole, You're an idiot, you're
Speaker 1: a moron, what the hell is wrong with you? Crazy?
Speaker 1: I'm only like twenty minutes later. Whatever it was, And
Speaker 1: I don't know, And we spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: talking about it, and we didn't go to the movie
Speaker 1: and we just spent a lot of time just talking
Speaker 1: about and she was trying to calm me down, and
Speaker 1: I just, I don't know, I felt really heard, really
Speaker 1: respect it, and I don't know, I just, yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: fall in love with her even more. She's never disappointed
Speaker 1: that she's always been like that. Yeah. I think the
Speaker 1: first moment for me was we started I think we
Speaker 1: had started dating in August, and it was like very soon.
Speaker 1: We had been together about a month and Thanksgiving was
Speaker 1: coming up and we were starting to think about Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and John said to me, let's get all our families
Speaker 1: and all have Thanksgiving together. But we'd only been together
Speaker 1: a month, and I thought, Wow, this is really serious,
Speaker 1: Like he wants my entire friend and they did, and
Speaker 1: so we had all the families that we had, like
Speaker 1: fifty people it was, and I so, yes, I trusted
Speaker 1: him at that point, I thought, well, he's really serious
Speaker 1: about this. I think it's this one beautiful thing about Justine.
Speaker 1: She tries whatever the situation, where the problem is, She's
Speaker 1: willing to put the effort and just try, and that's it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't have to succeed at whatever the challenges, but she's
Speaker 1: willing to try for me, and that makes me fall
Speaker 1: in love with her every single time. That's nice. I
Speaker 1: think seeing a bigger picture than just what's happening today,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever sort of annoying small things are happening
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, just remembering, you know, we have
Speaker 1: a bigger life that we've created together, and we have
Speaker 1: a past and we have a future. Marriage goes in cycles,
Speaker 1: and there's good times and bad times, and if you
Speaker 1: just hang on, you'll get to the next cycle. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to know somehow that this is
Speaker 1: the person you want to spend the rest of your
Speaker 1: days with. I know that Justine and I could have
Speaker 1: a great life forever, forever. So there you have it,
Speaker 1: our lively conversation with John and just Stine Lebozamo Until
Speaker 1: next time. I'm Phil Donahue and I'm Marlow Thomas, and
Speaker 1: I think that that makes us work on it. It
Speaker 1: makes me work on it, and I think that's that's
Speaker 1: fun too. That's what keeps it exciting. Double Date is
