0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Business Week from Bloomberg Radio. I'm Chasing

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Kelly and I'm Carol Master. Welcome to the Bloomberg Business

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Week Extra. It's our weekly podcast where we bring you

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>an extended version of one of our favorite conversations, one

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of our favorite interviews from the week. This one was easy.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I have to say comedian Paul Riser, as you have said,

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>more than a comedian, author, actor, done so much, so

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>many things. I mean, really a true multi hyphen it

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>as they say in the modern day content business. And

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, we caught him at home as everyone is,

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and he had something to say about his family and

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a really fun conversation, including a call back to your

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite monk. There's a whole of the world. And it's funny.

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, my kids will say that, what do you

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna be able to go? Not only don't

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I know, nobody knows. Don't remind him and and m

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and me. This is the first time going through this

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>for all of us. So there is something comforting in that,

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>as as as lost in the as uh as hard

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.759
<v Speaker 1>as it is and challenging and scary, it's like we're

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>all going through this together, and uh you know, the

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>best we can do is let's be smart and cautious

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>and and uh and wait. So you know, I the

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>part about staying home, uh doesn't bother me. I gotta

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>be honest. I I like that part. I don't like

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>not working. I miss and I don't like how many

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>things that the world is suffering as much as it is.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of you know, my motto is, you know,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>how do you you know? What about being stuck inside?

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, I've been outside before. I didn't

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoy it that much. You know, Yeah, inside is so much. Uh,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy it. I enjoy it. I luckily I like

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the people that I'm locked in with. So that's right.

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>It makes a difference. If you like your family, it's

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot easier. I'm just gonna say, because people feel different.

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>You had people read sort of redescend on your home? Right,

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>read what redescend on your home? People? Your nest is

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>no longer empty? Oh yes, yes, yes, the nest is full.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It is chock full and ready to kick people out.

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Might not even be the kids we might be leaving.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll just leave them, so you enjoy the empty net. No,

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, my my son was on school back east

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and he came home. Um and uh, I kind of

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like that. Uh, you know, he's restless and he's it's

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, now now you know, I don't see

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 1>him anymore. By the way, he's upstairs. He comes out

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>for feedings. That's about it. It's sort of like having

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a lizard. If he needs to be gets some nutrients

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and some water, you will appear. Otherwise he's just upstairs somewhere.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>But I'm you know, and we're all trying ways to

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>be creative. And I'm doing a couple of writing projects.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>And you can still write, uh with the presumption that

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the world will return to some normalcy within you know,

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>within hopefully not the near too far distant future. And

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>what what's your I was I was about to ask you,

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>just like your kids, what's your best guests? But I mean,

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>what are you hearing from? Talk to my kids, They yeah,

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>exactly what what are you hearing from? You know? Producers, director,

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>as you work with you know, partners, because you have

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>so many sort of irons in the fires, and it changes,

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, it changes so frequently. You know, one show

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that was up and went in March and went down

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and they have not given any indication of going back.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I was going to do a film that was going

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to be this fall. That is now they've pushed to

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the year. And for a minute a

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago. You know, it's interesting like all of

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>this when you hear things like you want to go

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, is that something you heard somebody some

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>other idiots say, or if you actually know something you

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>know and so I go, well, I hear that's such

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and such show they're gearing up ready to go in July,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and you go okay, And then then you know, we've

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>had a spike in the last week or there's gone

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>back up. So I think all bets are off and

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>let's let's beat this thing um or move all moved

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to a country. We're all moving to New Zealand. I

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>think they figured it out. They figured out and they

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>won't be having us. By the way, you know, we've

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>been asking everybody considering the last fourteen weeks, in the

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks coming out of Minneapolis. You know, the

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>role of leaders, the role of people even like yourself,

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, entertainers, comedians, folks who have platforms. You know

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>what we can all do to kind of make things better. Yeah. Well,

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, as I said before, that there is something um,

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 1>somewhat comforting in that this is universal and we are

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>all in this together, and you know, and and uh.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the virus, I mean, it certainly doesn't

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>exempt anybody. It's like, oh, don't don't infect that guy,

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he's on tv UM, you know. So it's just we're

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>all figuring this out together and all sweating through this together.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 1>And and yeah, all voices that are constructive and productive

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>are welcome. And and I I I feel personally like

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 1>I part of the reason I never really get into politics.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like I feel like I will just get so

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed and passionate that will be remarkably inarticulate and uh

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and and rather than sort of jump into any conversation,

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I think what I've felt was a more efficient ways.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It's just sort of too forward and retweet and point

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the light to people who are saying things much more

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>articulately and eloquently than than I could. Um, there's a

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of smart, helpful people out there

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>doing doing great work. But yeah, you know, there also

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>is the the the risk of overload. There was so

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in this world we live in, everybody can talk twenty

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>four hours a day and it's hard, too hard to

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>pick through it a lot of times. But yeah, there

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>are there are some very articulate and eloquent and voices

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>out there and they should be heard more well, And Paul,

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I do that to that I'm not one of them. Well,

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you can't say that someone who writes as much as

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 1>you have your books. I'm just you know, you know

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing. By the way, I'll tell you what

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm still stuck on. I'm very about you. Yeah, but

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you said you have I do. You said you have

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a man about you mug. You know what I thought

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>was in the five ten minutes I was off the

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>air listening to the news. What I thought we had mugs?

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>You did, But I don't have a mug. It's a

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>perfect it's your logo. I have to go to your

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>house and have coffee at your house to experience that

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>you are welcome anytime. It's it's met about you. The

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>logo on the front and the back says you've got

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>to be a little crazy to be in love. And

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, yeah, I just never never saw

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that in my life. I have no idea. I never

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>heard that slogan good for them, good for you A

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>piece at I know, I feel like nothing, no, but

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>he sends nothing. But it's very it's very sweet. I

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>drink my coffee out of a Stephen Colbert mugs that

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>was part of the swag bag that I did two

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>years ago or something. So every day I go, I

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>think of Steve when I drink my coffee. Well, I

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>just say that show. I just have to say, because

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>my husband and I were newly weds and and they

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>were just seen after see we just look at each

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>other and it was we could they relate to it?

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>It was really adorable, So it was you know, it

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>was it was all written from truth. And I always

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>hold people I'm not smart enough to make anything up,

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>so I can only talk about what actually happened to me.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So that show, you know, luckily, But and as I

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>find when I'm when I when when stand up comedy

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>still existed, when I, you know, doing my stand up,

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like I only talk about what happens to me,

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and the audience is laughing because they're going, oh, thank god,

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not just us. This guy, this guy has the

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.239
<v Speaker 1>same problem at home. So you know, there is again

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the universal you know, there's there's uh, there's a great

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>comfort in having company on the ryde Um. But yes,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>so that's uh and part of anyway, Yes, give me

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>a question, and I will well, I do wonder. I

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>mean we we were sort of you know, bouncing back

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and forth between Carol and me and our producers about like,

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a career that has endured in

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>many ways, and I do wonder. You know, one of

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the main things that that you have done, Paul, it

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>seems is you know, shift very successfully to you know,

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this whole new world of distribution, specifically um with Netflix,

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, really leveraging that platform in many ways.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And I do wonder what, you know, sort of sort

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>of how you did that, whether that was intentional, whether

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it was just material coming to you. I well, I

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't think I did anything that clever. The

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>world change and you go where they're having where are

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they making shows? Okay, let's go there. Um, So it

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a conscious choice of Hey, I'm going I see

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the Wave of the Future and it's on Netflix. Um,

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, but you did pick good material. I mean,

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I will say, there's a lot you can do. That's

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the only thing you can do is be selective and

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>say do good things. And I've been lucky and sometimes

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I was able to create things, and and often I

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 1>just got luckily invited into sing things, you know, stranger

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.959
<v Speaker 1>things called and I went, well, that's not something I

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have to think about too long. Yes, please? Uh And

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Kaminsky Method, you know, it totally happened by accident. I

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>had seen the first first season of Kaminsky Method, and

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Laurie, who created it, I know for thirty years,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and I I from his first job, and I called

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>him just to tell him, you know how great it was,

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it was so terrific. And I jokingly,

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>this is why I don't take a lesson from this kids,

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>because this doesn't work like this often. But I jokingly said, well,

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>why don't you and I do another show like that?

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Come on? That's come on. Two guys sitting in a

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>car complaining I can do that all day. And he

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>chokingly but not joking, he said, do you want to

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>be on this one? I went okay, And apparently he

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>had this role in mind where I play the old

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>guy that dates Michael Douglas's younger daughter and uh in

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a month later, I'm in the bald makeup and padded

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and aged up and playing with Michael Douglas and Ellen

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Arkans Sara Baker doing this lovely show and it's, you know,

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of a dream gig, to be honest, well a

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>dream gig, and there's Emmy buzz around it. And first

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>of all, we were all as a team. When we're

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.560

<v Speaker 1>But seriously, you're really good. I'm going to make that

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>pretend it was by choice, so that even if I

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>which that they're talking about it, but I don't imagine

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.440

<v Speaker 1>and I'll tell them that the nice people with the

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>mug told me it's such a fun show. And I'm

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>so tickled to be honest, so that people would talk

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about that. It's uh, it's icing on top of

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the gravy, on top of the cherry. All right, Well,

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when you know that happens, or whatever next great thing happens,

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you'll have to come back. And when you win, you

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 1>have to say. I have an Emmy, and Carol Master said,

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.599
<v Speaker 1>I also have a mug, and that's all I ask.

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. If this happens, I will bring

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>the Emmy to you. You can hold it, and if

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 1>you let me hold the mug, there you go. I'm

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>just going to tell you this is recorded. This is

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>being recorded, so I'm going to call you on it.

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, Paul, no problem, I understand. I meant that,

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and I will show up. I'm a man of my word.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>That's comedian Paul Riser. He's you know, Jason. He's a comedian,

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>he's an actor, he's a writer and author, multiple Emmy,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globe, American Comedy Award and nominations. Believe it or not,

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>he's never won an Emmy, so we'll see if he

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>gets one for the Kaminsky Method. Um, it's really fascinating.

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.839
<v Speaker 1>But man, just talking to him, one of my favorite

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>chose was met about you back in the nineties. So

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it was just fun to catch up with him, and

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, he liked the rest of us is stuck

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>at home. To get his observations on that was really fun.

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>He really is your it in on that mug. I

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>can't wait for the Emmy for mug handoff. That's going

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to happen when it all comes together and we're all

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>back to some semblance of normal. You've been listening to
