1 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: Hi, Welcome to the Carol mark Witz Show on Imheartradio. 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: It's hard to avoid the election. I'm super in it 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: like many of you, and I try to keep politics 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: out of this show, but obviously it seeps in from 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: time to time, and a few days before major presidential 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: election is just that kind of time. I'm already hearing 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: from people who are saying that their relationships, their friendships, 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: their family connections are getting strained. 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: Because of the election. 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: On News Nation the other night, JD Vance said, if 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: you're discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody is voting for 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: the other team, then you've made a terrible, terrible mistake 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: and you should do something different. Don't cast aside family 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: members in lifelong friendships. Politics is not worth it. I 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: love that he said that, especially because he's on the 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: ticket obviously and should want people to care more about 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: voting for him than their friendships. It was nice of 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: him to say that. But I'm not going where you 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: think I'm going with all this. Yes, I think you 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: should keep politics separate from your friends and family. People 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: who love you can disagree with you have different values 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: than you all of it. I'm very kombayah about the 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: whole thing. Really, I have friends who I love who 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: are firmly on the left. I don't have any leftist family, 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: but that's. 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: Really just sheer luck. 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: Haha. 28 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: What I want to say, though, is that we've been 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: talking on the show about making friends in adulthood, and 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: I actually think it's completely okay to not pursue friendship 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: with people on the opposite political side. I know it 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense that I would say that, because I 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: just said I have lots of friends on the left, 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: So why am I dissuading you from friend making across 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: political lines? And look, if you meet someone, you're playing 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: tennis with them, you meet them at work, whatever, you 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: hit it off, and they have opposite politics but you 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: like each other. Of course, go for it friends. But 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: friendships in adulthood usually take more work than this. So 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: if you meet someone and before you really know if 41 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: they're funny, or if you have things in common or 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: any of that, you find out you're not politically aligned, 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I think it's fine to say, eh, not going to 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: pursue this friendship, especially if your political ideals do really 45 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: matter to you. Plenty of people are mostly apolitical, so 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: if that's you, great, But if your politics do matter 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: to you, I say keep the old friends with whom 48 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: you're not politically aligned, But no need to be in 49 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: any big rush to make more of these. 50 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: As you get. 51 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: Older, it's hard to maintain friendships. And I said in 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: a previous episode that things like hobbies might not actually 53 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: matter in new friendships as much as we think, but 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: values and outlook they might matter a lot more. Again, 55 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: to me, I find humor to be top of the list, 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: like our are we laughing at the same stuff? Can 57 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: we make each other laugh? That matters to me. So 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: if I meet a super leftist, I find them really 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: funny and we have amazing banter like that's to me 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: as a friend. But a relationship that I have to 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: work at and we don't have ideals in common. Tougher Again, 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: you meet somebody at work, you crack up all through 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: lunch and then she's voting for Kamala and you're voting 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: for Trump. But doesn't mean you can't be friends. You're 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: already pick her in grown up friendships. Give yourself permission 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: to sort by politics too. That's all I'm saying. Don't 67 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: discard people like JD Van said, but having similar lifestyles 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: to new friends that you make as a grown up 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: will go a long way into turning them into old friends. 70 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: If you've got thoughts on this, drop me an email 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz Show at gmail dot com.

I'm like the cult thing because you know, 97 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 3: it's small enough and rabid enough that I can, like, 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: you know, get a good seat at a restaurant if 99 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 3: there's a big line in the hosts, but not enough 100 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 3: to where like people bother me non stop. I've been 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: around people like that. Yeah right, I've spent a good 102 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 3: chunk of my life around people who can't go to 103 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: the mall. And I like going to the mall. But yeah, 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 3: but it's I'm glad people like it, and it's always 105 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: fun to have people mention it to me. 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: So I did some research on you before the show. 107 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: Learned a lot of things I didn't know. 108 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: You were born in. 109 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: Florida, Yes, sported rays. Actually I didn't grow up on 110 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 3: pub where Markago is. I grew up where the people 111 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: who had jobs live, as if my dad had a job, 112 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: those poor people. Yeah, but I knew a lot of 113 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: people who lived on Palm Beach. You know, it's it's 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: a funny town. Uh so, But I remember when marro 115 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: Lago was empty. That kid was an abandoned mansion and 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: no one lived there. And then Trump bought it. He 117 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: bought it after I had moved and stuff. But yeah, 118 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: I grew up in South Florida. 119 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: I love Palm Beach. 120 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: I you know a lot of people compared to like 121 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: other rich you know, enclaves like the Hampton's or whatever, 122 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: the Palm Beach is so colorful and unusual. I just 123 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: I love it there. I mean, if if funny were 124 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: no object, I'd live. 125 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 3: On the island. A friend of mine from high school 126 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: hit it big and he's got a house a block 127 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: off the beach about Worth End. 128 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: I didn't even mind, like three blocks off the beach. 129 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: I'll take you. 130 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: But it's like he bought that not because he cares 131 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: about living on Palm Beach, but because there is it's 132 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: a public beach. But to actually get there, you'd have 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: to walk like five miles. 134 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: And there's nowhere to park. And yeah, they know what 135 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: they're doing over there. Yeah, So how did you get 136 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: into acting? 137 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: What's your path here. 138 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: It was something I always wanted to do. As a kid, 139 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: I did plays, and it's just always fascinated by movies. 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: I mean I was telling someone yesterday, we were talking 141 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: about old movies that we saw in the theaters, because 142 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: that's part of my whole thing I'm trying to do, 143 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: which we'll get to eventually. Gotta. I remember like just 144 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: riding my bike to the movie theater alone to see 145 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: a matinee of Young Frank and stuff. No, I remember 146 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: running home to get home in time to watch. I 147 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: loved Lucy. I was just I loved comedy. I loved 148 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: stand up comedy. I love cartoons that were funny. I 149 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: loved anything that made me laugh. And you know, Jerry Lewis, buddy, 150 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: it just whoever was funny. I was just obsessed with 151 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: and I don't know, but it was funn because then 152 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: when it came to like me doing it, I never 153 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: thought I was funny. So I just wanted to be 154 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: in movies. I wanted to be an actor, but then 155 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: I was funny. 156 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: Do people still try to be funny? 157 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of funniness has been lost. 158 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Do you see that or do you still find funny? 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: Around. 160 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: There's so much funnier, right, Yeah, but right now it's 161 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: pretty right now, it's pretty much in the stand up 162 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: realm and in the podcast and independent realm.

No, really, 368 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 3: it's because I get vaccinated and I worry about or 369 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 3: constantly because of that. Yeah, because the other three. 370 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: I was just like no, right, but if it makes 371 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: me feel better, I think that the you know, the 372 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: time period has been long enough that you know the 373 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: problems would have potentially developed by now, so now, don't 374 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: beat yourself up over it. But I also I vaccinated 375 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: my oldest two with the pediatric vaccine to send them 376 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: to sleep Away Cam. 377 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 2: And I, you know, I'm like, why didn't I just 378 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: spake a vaccine card like everybody else, what are they doing? 379 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's all I'm worried about.

And but also 381 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 3: this relates, like me wanting to do these R rated 382 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: movies relates to that. Because here's my theory, mind, my 383 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: theory in my stupid head of why I think this 384 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 3: is important. These kids, I mean, all they do, all 385 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: they hear all day is how horrible everything is and 386 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 3: how they need to save the world because their parents 387 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 3: let them down. I mean, pressure on these kids is insane. 388 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 3: And I would really say, you're a kid, go out 389 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: with your friends and do something stupid. Go go go 390 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: hike and find a dead body. I can stand by me.

Like Bill Burr is a lot 394 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 3: of conservative, right, but if you heard left wing liberal, 395 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 3: you know, white women talk about it right, bill Burr's Tromp. Yes, 396 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 3: Bill Burr's not voting for Tromp. 397 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: Right, and he has some of the better jokes about 398 00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 2: the right. 399 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 3: I think he The reason Gilbert's jokes are funny about 400 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 3: Trump is because they're funny, right, and he doesn't use 401 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 3: them to try to make people hate m But I 402 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 3: personally think I have a movie called Scavenger Hunt.
