1 00:00:04,755 --> 00:00:08,995 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:24,715 --> 00:00:28,435 Speaker 1: Last night, Trump confessed he had documents at mari Lago. 3 00:00:29,035 --> 00:00:33,235 Speaker 1: Last night, Trump boasted he had documents at Marilago. Last night. 4 00:00:33,235 --> 00:00:35,435 Speaker 1: Trump said they should give it all back to him 5 00:00:35,475 --> 00:00:38,435 Speaker 1: because it's all his, thus contradicting his other claims that 6 00:00:38,515 --> 00:00:44,035 Speaker 1: material was planted. He is openly defying the law. He 7 00:00:44,195 --> 00:00:47,235 Speaker 1: is all but daring Merrick Garland to indict him and 8 00:00:47,395 --> 00:00:50,755 Speaker 1: arrest him. He is campaigning on breaking the law. He 9 00:00:50,875 --> 00:00:53,995 Speaker 1: is campaigning on getting away with breaking the law. He 10 00:00:54,155 --> 00:00:57,275 Speaker 1: is campaigning to get people elected who will protect him 11 00:00:57,275 --> 00:01:01,955 Speaker 1: from the consequences of breaking the law. He is campaigning 12 00:01:02,515 --> 00:01:05,955 Speaker 1: on the Justice Departments on written rule, not to indict 13 00:01:06,035 --> 00:01:11,075 Speaker 1: him while there is campaigning. This can wait no longer. 14 00:01:11,835 --> 00:01:18,515 Speaker 1: Arrest Trump today, Mr Attorney General. This this is a 15 00:01:18,995 --> 00:01:24,115 Speaker 1: god damned confession. I had a small number of boxes 16 00:01:24,155 --> 00:01:27,435 Speaker 1: and storage at mar Lago, guarded by Secret Service and 17 00:01:27,515 --> 00:01:30,075 Speaker 1: my people and everybody. I mean, it's safe. There is 18 00:01:30,115 --> 00:01:31,995 Speaker 1: no crime. You know, there is no crime. It's not 19 00:01:32,035 --> 00:01:36,555 Speaker 1: a crime. And they should give me immediately back everything 20 00:01:36,555 --> 00:01:40,315 Speaker 1: that they've taken from because it's mine. It's mine. They 21 00:01:40,315 --> 00:01:43,435 Speaker 1: took it from me Trump last night at his clan 22 00:01:43,595 --> 00:01:47,875 Speaker 1: rally in Mesa, Arizona. For two months now, Trump has 23 00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:52,755 Speaker 1: been simultaneously boasting of committing crimes with impunity while stalling 24 00:01:52,795 --> 00:01:56,235 Speaker 1: in every way imaginable to prevent being prosecuted. And at 25 00:01:56,235 --> 00:02:00,155 Speaker 1: this point his primary accomplice in that is Merrick Garland, 26 00:02:01,675 --> 00:02:06,995 Speaker 1: Mr Attorney General, do your job, and Mr President, if 27 00:02:07,035 --> 00:02:10,035 Speaker 1: he will not do his job, fire him and put 28 00:02:10,075 --> 00:02:13,595 Speaker 1: somebody in there who will. Because every day this goes on, 29 00:02:13,715 --> 00:02:19,075 Speaker 1: Trump's sense of untouchability, his supporters sense of untouchability grows, 30 00:02:19,355 --> 00:02:22,755 Speaker 1: and it is now growing exponentially. And this is not 31 00:02:22,955 --> 00:02:25,835 Speaker 1: merely a question of putting in jail the most dangerous 32 00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:28,035 Speaker 1: criminal in the history of this country, the man who 33 00:02:28,075 --> 00:02:30,395 Speaker 1: has done more damage to our nation than all the 34 00:02:30,555 --> 00:02:35,475 Speaker 1: terrorists put together. This is about the survival of the democracy. 35 00:02:35,755 --> 00:02:40,595 Speaker 1: He confesses, he boasts, he defies, he lies, he taunts, 36 00:02:40,635 --> 00:02:42,595 Speaker 1: he talks out of both sides of his mouth, and 37 00:02:42,635 --> 00:02:47,395 Speaker 1: now we find out he bargains. The New York Times 38 00:02:47,435 --> 00:02:52,635 Speaker 1: reporting that when in the National Archives began to demand 39 00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:57,435 Speaker 1: the return of its documents, our goddamn documents, Trump told 40 00:02:57,435 --> 00:03:00,595 Speaker 1: advisers that he would agree to return the stolen documents, 41 00:03:00,635 --> 00:03:04,235 Speaker 1: provided that the National Archives would then give him all 42 00:03:04,275 --> 00:03:08,915 Speaker 1: the classified documents pertaining to the FBI investigation of Trump's 43 00:03:08,915 --> 00:03:14,435 Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen election interference conspiracy with Russia. And we 44 00:03:14,555 --> 00:03:17,355 Speaker 1: as a nation continue to treat this scumbag with kid 45 00:03:17,395 --> 00:03:21,715 Speaker 1: gloves because there's an election in a month in which 46 00:03:21,755 --> 00:03:25,835 Speaker 1: he's not running, because the real issue here is just 47 00:03:25,915 --> 00:03:29,835 Speaker 1: getting the documents back and secured, and prosecution is incidental 48 00:03:30,835 --> 00:03:34,795 Speaker 1: because there are institutional reluctances to prosecute a former president, 49 00:03:35,795 --> 00:03:38,915 Speaker 1: which translates as if you can prosecute a former president, 50 00:03:38,955 --> 00:03:41,235 Speaker 1: you sure as hell can prosecute a former attorney general, 51 00:03:41,395 --> 00:03:45,195 Speaker 1: right mark, Because you fear the Republicans will investigate the 52 00:03:45,235 --> 00:03:48,715 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, or the Republicans will investigate the White House, 53 00:03:49,475 --> 00:03:53,915 Speaker 1: or you fear his supporters will riot if given a 54 00:03:53,955 --> 00:03:58,475 Speaker 1: congressional majority, the Republicans will do all that. Anyway, they 55 00:03:58,515 --> 00:04:02,675 Speaker 1: have given up trying to govern anymore. Outrage conspiracy theory 56 00:04:02,715 --> 00:04:07,035 Speaker 1: and the never fulfilled promise, the imminent bombshell indictment just 57 00:04:07,275 --> 00:04:13,315 Speaker 1: around a corner, that's all they are. And remember the 58 00:04:13,395 --> 00:04:17,635 Speaker 1: golden rule of real life. Just because you do not 59 00:04:17,875 --> 00:04:21,155 Speaker 1: hit the bully, that does not mean the bully will 60 00:04:21,235 --> 00:04:25,635 Speaker 1: not hit you. The bully hits you because he is 61 00:04:25,675 --> 00:04:30,235 Speaker 1: a bully. And still the Department of Justice investigates and 62 00:04:30,315 --> 00:04:35,315 Speaker 1: investigates and investigates. Trump confesses, he boasts, he defies, he lies, 63 00:04:35,435 --> 00:04:40,475 Speaker 1: he taught, he bargains, and we investigate. Rolling Stone reported 64 00:04:40,515 --> 00:04:43,555 Speaker 1: Friday night something that confirmed my analysis from Friday morning 65 00:04:43,755 --> 00:04:46,595 Speaker 1: that the d o J is clearly preparing for a 66 00:04:46,675 --> 00:04:49,275 Speaker 1: search of Trump Tower in New York or the Trump 67 00:04:49,315 --> 00:04:52,795 Speaker 1: golf course and Discount Cemetery in New Jersey. Whether it 68 00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:54,955 Speaker 1: happens or not, they seem to be ready for it, 69 00:04:55,075 --> 00:04:58,875 Speaker 1: quoting federal investigators have asked multiple witnesses if they knew 70 00:04:58,875 --> 00:05:02,755 Speaker 1: whether Trump had stashed any highly sensitive government documents at 71 00:05:02,755 --> 00:05:05,955 Speaker 1: Trump Tower in Manhattan or at his private club in Benminster, 72 00:05:06,115 --> 00:05:08,755 Speaker 1: New Jersey. As a person familiar with the matter, and 73 00:05:08,835 --> 00:05:13,995 Speaker 1: another source briefed on the situation, rolling Stone continues, the FBI, 74 00:05:14,075 --> 00:05:16,675 Speaker 1: according to these sources, had also asked in recent months 75 00:05:17,155 --> 00:05:20,995 Speaker 1: whether the ex president had a habit of transporting classified 76 00:05:21,035 --> 00:05:25,555 Speaker 1: documents from his Florida estate, Mari Lago to other Trump properties. 77 00:05:27,595 --> 00:05:33,075 Speaker 1: The images of the FBI blocking off Fifth Avenue and 78 00:05:33,235 --> 00:05:38,795 Speaker 1: swarming through Trump Tower or going to Bedminster and asking, hey, 79 00:05:38,875 --> 00:05:41,075 Speaker 1: what you got in that box buried next to the 80 00:05:41,115 --> 00:05:45,715 Speaker 1: first t These are delightful images until you remember the 81 00:05:45,755 --> 00:05:50,115 Speaker 1: context we seem now to be investigating for the sake 82 00:05:50,195 --> 00:05:55,395 Speaker 1: of investigating. The August eighth search of Mari Lago two 83 00:05:55,395 --> 00:05:59,355 Speaker 1: months two days ago produced reports of missing documents as 84 00:05:59,475 --> 00:06:04,315 Speaker 1: harrowing as Putin or Zelenski or Biden invoking tactical nuclear 85 00:06:04,315 --> 00:06:09,435 Speaker 1: weapon use in Ukraine. The sheer volume of materials stolen 86 00:06:09,875 --> 00:06:11,875 Speaker 1: was enough to make all of us who have long 87 00:06:12,035 --> 00:06:17,035 Speaker 1: known the worst about Trump blanche. That the compromise from 88 00:06:17,075 --> 00:06:20,235 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice was to say, just leave these 89 00:06:20,315 --> 00:06:23,675 Speaker 1: on three documents to us, and the special Mask can 90 00:06:23,715 --> 00:06:26,275 Speaker 1: look at all the other documents, and Trump can have 91 00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:30,235 Speaker 1: back and anything else he wants. Spoke to the extraordinary 92 00:06:30,315 --> 00:06:33,315 Speaker 1: nature of those one hundred and three documents and what 93 00:06:33,475 --> 00:06:36,635 Speaker 1: has happened since Mari Laga was searched under these circumstances. 94 00:06:37,555 --> 00:06:42,195 Speaker 1: Trump has fundraised off it. Trump has proclaimed himself the victim, 95 00:06:42,435 --> 00:06:45,835 Speaker 1: the violated, the martyred. Off of it. Trump has boasted 96 00:06:45,835 --> 00:06:48,675 Speaker 1: off of it. Trump has defied, Trump has lied, Trump 97 00:06:48,675 --> 00:06:52,835 Speaker 1: has haunted, Trump has bargained, and Trump has now confessed 98 00:06:54,115 --> 00:06:59,475 Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice. It has contemplated, it has 99 00:06:59,515 --> 00:07:03,795 Speaker 1: contemplated more searches instead of arresting this creature and frog 100 00:07:03,835 --> 00:07:08,635 Speaker 1: marching him out of one of these fascist rallies, because 101 00:07:08,675 --> 00:07:13,275 Speaker 1: now Trump is bringing to these fascist rallies the kind 102 00:07:13,275 --> 00:07:19,555 Speaker 1: of pure, unadulterated authoritarianism of people like Jim Marchant, fresh 103 00:07:19,715 --> 00:07:23,195 Speaker 1: from the conspiracies of q and On, and the Republican 104 00:07:23,315 --> 00:07:27,355 Speaker 1: candidate for Secretary of State in Nevada, and the chairman 105 00:07:27,835 --> 00:07:31,595 Speaker 1: of a coalition of vermin running for secretary of State 106 00:07:31,595 --> 00:07:34,715 Speaker 1: positions around the country whose goal, if elected is to 107 00:07:34,915 --> 00:07:41,355 Speaker 1: destroy elections. So emboldened by the last seven years, so 108 00:07:41,595 --> 00:07:46,035 Speaker 1: emboldened by the failure to act against Trump in any way, 109 00:07:46,155 --> 00:07:51,635 Speaker 1: that at Trump's rally Saturday, this scum merchant didn't even 110 00:07:51,675 --> 00:07:56,035 Speaker 1: pretend anymore that what he and the other conspirators were 111 00:07:56,035 --> 00:08:00,635 Speaker 1: plotting where anything less than the overthrow of the American 112 00:08:00,675 --> 00:08:06,715 Speaker 1: electoral system. Last year, I established a mega America first 113 00:08:06,715 --> 00:08:10,355 Speaker 1: coalition of secretary of State candidates around the country. If 114 00:08:10,395 --> 00:08:13,355 Speaker 1: we get all of our secretaries of state elected around 115 00:08:13,355 --> 00:08:19,715 Speaker 1: the country like this, we take our country back. By 116 00:08:19,755 --> 00:08:23,835 Speaker 1: any means, we have the power to act against Trump 117 00:08:23,875 --> 00:08:26,515 Speaker 1: and in so doing, to send the marchants and his 118 00:08:26,595 --> 00:08:30,435 Speaker 1: fellow travelers and his little bullies scurrying back into the 119 00:08:30,435 --> 00:08:33,635 Speaker 1: shadows from which they emerged. And what are we doing 120 00:08:33,675 --> 00:08:40,475 Speaker 1: with that power? We are waiting Trump's candidate for governor 121 00:08:40,515 --> 00:08:45,635 Speaker 1: of Arizona.

She could not have more loudly screened 125 00:08:59,435 --> 00:09:03,275 Speaker 1: I am a subservient member of a cult if she 126 00:09:03,395 --> 00:09:05,475 Speaker 1: had had them tweet out of photo of her with 127 00:09:05,555 --> 00:09:11,635 Speaker 1: a ball gag in her mouth.

Whose side are we on? Then one other point, 197 00:14:10,915 --> 00:14:13,395 Speaker 1: the U. S.

The game 234 00:16:43,115 --> 00:16:46,715 Speaker 1: was not as close as the score indicates, or so 235 00:16:46,835 --> 00:16:50,675 Speaker 1: I've heard one hit, only one met showing the slightest 236 00:16:50,715 --> 00:16:52,715 Speaker 1: sign of life at the start of the bottom of 237 00:16:52,715 --> 00:16:55,035 Speaker 1: the sixth inning.

Facing Musgrove, Showalter had been seen looking 242 00:17:14,235 --> 00:17:16,955 Speaker 1: at some of the baseballs that Mets hitters had faced. 243 00:17:17,515 --> 00:17:21,875 Speaker 1: Outfielder Andrew McCutcheon of Milwaukee explained on Twitter, quote, I 244 00:17:21,955 --> 00:17:26,275 Speaker 1: guarantee Musgrove has red hot on his ears. Pitchers use 245 00:17:26,355 --> 00:17:29,155 Speaker 1: it as a mechanism to stay locked in during games, 246 00:17:29,595 --> 00:17:33,435 Speaker 1: but in no way is it's sticky. It was a 247 00:17:33,475 --> 00:17:38,315 Speaker 1: lobe blow. Looks like all the Mets found was earwax, 248 00:17:39,075 --> 00:17:42,315 Speaker 1: which is pretty much all of us Mets fans found. 249 00:17:42,395 --> 00:18:06,875 Speaker 1: Two As the season ends eerily, thank you, Nancy Faust. 250 00:18:07,955 --> 00:18:10,915 Speaker 1: Speaking of using red hot, our oldest Chapman, the great 251 00:18:10,915 --> 00:18:14,035 Speaker 1: relief picture of years past, used to soak his entire 252 00:18:14,115 --> 00:18:16,475 Speaker 1: body in it, so he would sweat constantly, no matter 253 00:18:16,475 --> 00:18:19,515 Speaker 1: whether it was warm or cold. And it is six 254 00:18:19,595 --> 00:18:22,555 Speaker 1: years since the Yankees traded him to the Chicago Cubs 255 00:18:22,555 --> 00:18:26,355 Speaker 1: for four prospects, including glabor trusts, and then Chapman helped 256 00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:27,875 Speaker 1: the Cubs to win the World Series, and then he 257 00:18:27,915 --> 00:18:29,555 Speaker 1: went back to the Yankees as a free agent for 258 00:18:29,595 --> 00:18:32,955 Speaker 1: eight six million over five years. Wednesday, after the regular 259 00:18:32,995 --> 00:18:35,995 Speaker 1: season ended, Chapman flew home to Miami and did not 260 00:18:36,195 --> 00:18:39,995 Speaker 1: return for the Yankees preplayoff workout Saturday. He was at 261 00:18:40,035 --> 00:18:42,715 Speaker 1: best a long shot to make the postseason roster anyway, 262 00:18:42,915 --> 00:18:45,035 Speaker 1: since he mailed it in all year and even went 263 00:18:45,075 --> 00:18:48,115 Speaker 1: on the injured list once with an infection from a tattoo. 264 00:18:48,595 --> 00:18:51,435 Speaker 1: But yesterday the Yankees gave him the bye Felicia, and 265 00:18:51,475 --> 00:18:53,795 Speaker 1: while not officially suspending him, they told him just to 266 00:18:53,835 --> 00:18:56,355 Speaker 1: stay in Miami. You'll be a free agent again this winter. 267 00:18:56,675 --> 00:18:59,555 Speaker 1: But there is an excellent chance's career is over. And 268 00:18:59,635 --> 00:19:02,515 Speaker 1: if this is not sports in the year two, I 269 00:19:02,515 --> 00:19:05,155 Speaker 1: don't know what is at practice. Grandma on green of 270 00:19:05,195 --> 00:19:09,155 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors Clock's teammate, Jordan's Pool, hits him 271 00:19:09,155 --> 00:19:11,235 Speaker 1: hard enough to make him forget his name and address 272 00:19:11,755 --> 00:19:17,795 Speaker 1: the video leaks. The Warriors immediately launched an investigation of Green, 273 00:19:18,715 --> 00:19:23,795 Speaker 1: the punch maybe even Pool. No the leak. Green was 274 00:19:23,875 --> 00:19:27,675 Speaker 1: not suspended. He apologized and was then allowed to step 275 00:19:27,715 --> 00:19:30,355 Speaker 1: away from the team for a few days, and he 276 00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:33,395 Speaker 1: had the gall to complain that the video leaked. Doesn't 277 00:19:33,395 --> 00:19:36,635 Speaker 1: anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy perils 278 00:19:43,075 --> 00:19:46,115 Speaker 1: coming out my friend Elizabeth Montgomery and the life lesson 279 00:19:46,195 --> 00:19:50,195 Speaker 1: she taught me of that I think of every day.

Wait a minute, I 283 00:19:59,675 --> 00:20:05,635 Speaker 1: got senting in my ear. Here the bronze. There is 284 00:20:05,675 --> 00:20:08,075 Speaker 1: still no good reason for Alabama to be its own 285 00:20:08,195 --> 00:20:10,715 Speaker 1: state and could have remained part of Mississippi. Then we 286 00:20:10,715 --> 00:20:13,275 Speaker 1: normally have two idiot senators from there instead of four. 287 00:20:14,155 --> 00:20:19,075 Speaker 1: Miss Obama would probably still have elected Tommy Tuberville anyway. 288 00:20:19,195 --> 00:20:22,955 Speaker 1: He fits even for a college football coach. He was 289 00:20:23,035 --> 00:20:26,595 Speaker 1: stupid and corrupt. If you haven't heard this, stand by 290 00:20:26,595 --> 00:20:29,715 Speaker 1: a second. This is Tommy Tuberville explaining not only the 291 00:20:29,875 --> 00:20:35,875 Speaker 1: Democrats are pro crime, but the Democrats support reparations so 292 00:20:35,915 --> 00:20:40,715 Speaker 1: that the people who get reparations, which he identifies as criminals, 293 00:20:40,755 --> 00:20:45,075 Speaker 1: so those people will get well, basically the white folks money. 294 00:20:45,635 --> 00:20:48,035 Speaker 1: Some people say, well, they're soft on crime. No, they're 295 00:20:48,035 --> 00:20:51,035 Speaker 1: not soft on crime. They're pro crime. They won't crime. 296 00:20:51,715 --> 00:20:53,995 Speaker 1: They won't crime because they want to take over what 297 00:20:54,115 --> 00:20:56,595 Speaker 1: you got. They want to control what you have. They 298 00:20:56,595 --> 00:20:59,275 Speaker 1: won't reparation because they think the people that do the 299 00:20:59,355 --> 00:21:03,235 Speaker 1: crime are old debt. Most yet they're not old debt. 300 00:21:06,675 --> 00:21:10,195 Speaker 1: The most amazing part of Tuberville's textbook in Bred Cracker 301 00:21:10,315 --> 00:21:15,635 Speaker 1: KKK Unadulterated Racism. There is most national media headline that 302 00:21:15,795 --> 00:21:20,275 Speaker 1: story Tuberville claims Democrats are pro crime, leaving out the 303 00:21:20,395 --> 00:21:24,355 Speaker 1: unmistakable meat of his claim that Democrats are trying to 304 00:21:24,355 --> 00:21:29,835 Speaker 1: get reparations for the people he says cause crime. Reparations 305 00:21:29,875 --> 00:21:32,715 Speaker 1: are supposed to be for African Americans whose ancestors and 306 00:21:32,755 --> 00:21:37,155 Speaker 1: whose current lives were afflicted by slavery. The real headline 307 00:21:37,195 --> 00:21:40,675 Speaker 1: here is Tuberville says all African Americans are criminals. Call 308 00:21:40,795 --> 00:21:43,675 Speaker 1: him what he is this is a white supremacist in 309 00:21:43,715 --> 00:21:49,275 Speaker 1: the US Senate and a stupid one.

Just as he 311 00:21:54,475 --> 00:21:56,555 Speaker 1: was starting to get some late momentum in that race, 312 00:21:56,595 --> 00:21:58,755 Speaker 1: guess what. He gave a speech at the Lion Auto 313 00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:02,995 Speaker 1: Museum in southern California, hosted by Matt Gates's brother in law, 314 00:22:03,635 --> 00:22:06,915 Speaker 1: and Oz gave his speech while standing next to Adolph 315 00:22:06,995 --> 00:22:11,395 Speaker 1: Hitler's car, the touring car Mercedes Bend's made for Hitler 316 00:22:11,435 --> 00:22:15,875 Speaker 1: in ninety nine that Hitler kept at Bractus Garden. Now, 317 00:22:15,995 --> 00:22:18,915 Speaker 1: since even mimit Oz is not stupid enough to give 318 00:22:18,915 --> 00:22:22,675 Speaker 1: a speech while accidentally standing next to Adolph Hitler's car, 319 00:22:22,835 --> 00:22:24,675 Speaker 1: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to conclude that he gave 320 00:22:24,675 --> 00:22:27,995 Speaker 1: a speech while deliberately standing next to Adolf Hitler's car. 321 00:22:29,555 --> 00:22:31,875 Speaker 1: Harden to believe anybody could top those two idiots.

Then West took a shot at 330 00:22:58,475 --> 00:23:01,795 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, claiming he had him removed from Instagram. Then 331 00:23:01,795 --> 00:23:03,755 Speaker 1: he went back on Twitter, apparently for the first time 332 00:23:03,755 --> 00:23:06,275 Speaker 1: in two years. Got a welcome back to Twitter, my 333 00:23:06,355 --> 00:23:09,435 Speaker 1: friend from Elon Musk, who has officially staked out the 334 00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:12,475 Speaker 1: I am always wrong about everything crown on the site. 335 00:23:12,835 --> 00:23:14,955 Speaker 1: And then, as you probably know, West tweeted, and it 336 00:23:14,995 --> 00:23:17,595 Speaker 1: sounds worse when it's read aloud, So here goes quote. 337 00:23:17,875 --> 00:23:20,155 Speaker 1: I'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when I wake up, 338 00:23:20,195 --> 00:23:24,035 Speaker 1: I'm going death Con three on Jewish people, caps on 339 00:23:24,115 --> 00:23:27,435 Speaker 1: Jewish people. The funny thing is I actually can't be 340 00:23:27,515 --> 00:23:32,315 Speaker 1: anti Semitic because black people are actually jew Also, you 341 00:23:32,355 --> 00:23:35,035 Speaker 1: guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball 342 00:23:35,075 --> 00:23:39,715 Speaker 1: anyone whoever opposes your agenda. First, it's deaf Con three, 343 00:23:39,875 --> 00:23:43,995 Speaker 1: not death Con three, You freaking imbecile. Secondly, Twitter deleted 344 00:23:43,995 --> 00:23:46,755 Speaker 1: the tweet and locked his account. Frankly, he needs to 345 00:23:46,795 --> 00:23:52,155 Speaker 1: be banned from Twitter outright and permanently. Lastly unexpected collateral damage. 346 00:23:52,795 --> 00:23:57,675 Speaker 1: Rather amazingly, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita self immolated, tweeting 347 00:23:57,755 --> 00:24:00,475 Speaker 1: last night that the left quote have now gone after 348 00:24:00,555 --> 00:24:03,155 Speaker 1: Kanye for his new fashion line, is independent thinking and 349 00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:08,115 Speaker 1: for having posing thoughts from the norm of Hollywood. I 350 00:24:08,195 --> 00:24:13,715 Speaker 1: did not see any politician publicly endorsing anti semitism after 351 00:24:13,835 --> 00:24:16,515 Speaker 1: Kanye West was banned from Twitter, But there you are. 352 00:24:18,275 --> 00:24:21,075 Speaker 1: I guess the man is talented or he was. I 353 00:24:21,075 --> 00:24:23,475 Speaker 1: don't know. I'll defer to whatever you think. It doesn't 354 00:24:23,475 --> 00:24:26,035 Speaker 1: really matter, but there's no amount of talent in the 355 00:24:26,075 --> 00:24:28,715 Speaker 1: world to can justify permitting him to continue to push 356 00:24:28,755 --> 00:24:34,035 Speaker 1: this agenda everywhere anti Semitic, other conspiracy theories hatred and 357 00:24:34,075 --> 00:24:36,955 Speaker 1: abuse of African Americans, which if it came from a 358 00:24:36,955 --> 00:24:40,035 Speaker 1: white guy would be branded correctly as racism, and his 359 00:24:40,115 --> 00:24:43,995 Speaker 1: embarrassing turn as a political prostitute a whore used by 360 00:24:44,035 --> 00:24:47,635 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to unsuccessfully, as it proved, siphon off Biden 361 00:24:47,715 --> 00:24:52,955 Speaker 1: votes in Kanye West also shows signs of profound mental illness. 362 00:24:52,955 --> 00:24:55,515 Speaker 1: But guess what, I don't care anymore. I think the 363 00:24:55,555 --> 00:24:57,595 Speaker 1: situation in Our nation is too grave for any of 364 00:24:57,675 --> 00:25:00,595 Speaker 1: us to care anymore about Kanye West. He must pay 365 00:25:00,675 --> 00:25:04,675 Speaker 1: somebody to look out for them, let them worry about him. 366 00:25:04,795 --> 00:25:06,595 Speaker 1: We have to stop thinking in terms of what happens 367 00:25:06,595 --> 00:25:09,035 Speaker 1: to people when we stopped them from using their platforms 368 00:25:09,035 --> 00:25:13,075 Speaker 1: to foment hatred and vendettas and racism and anti semitism 369 00:25:13,075 --> 00:25:16,195 Speaker 1: and conspiracy theories and Trump. We have to end their 370 00:25:16,235 --> 00:25:19,795 Speaker 1: professional careers. And if that makes them feel even more martyred, 371 00:25:19,915 --> 00:25:24,115 Speaker 1: or more persecuted, or more canceled, so what We're gonna 372 00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:28,115 Speaker 1: have to break some eggs Kanye West. We need to 373 00:25:28,155 --> 00:25:32,515 Speaker 1: turn him into Hey, whatever happened to Kanye West? Or 374 00:25:32,595 --> 00:25:35,075 Speaker 1: was it Cane West? Didn't He used to be a 375 00:25:35,115 --> 00:25:40,675 Speaker 1: big thing a couple of years ago. Today's worst person 376 00:25:42,235 --> 00:25:56,355 Speaker 1: in the world, to the number one story on the 377 00:25:56,395 --> 00:25:59,675 Speaker 1: Countdown and my favorite subject me and things I've promised 378 00:25:59,715 --> 00:26:02,955 Speaker 1: not to tell. I have found myself telling her story 379 00:26:03,075 --> 00:26:06,115 Speaker 1: three times in the last ten days. I just bought 380 00:26:06,155 --> 00:26:08,915 Speaker 1: a new copy of the movie in question, and so 381 00:26:08,955 --> 00:26:12,475 Speaker 1: I thought I would tell you the story now. Plus 382 00:26:12,515 --> 00:26:15,275 Speaker 1: I find she made her Broadway debut sixty nine years 383 00:26:15,275 --> 00:26:20,515 Speaker 1: ago this Thursday. Do you know her name? Elizabeth Montgomery, 384 00:26:20,715 --> 00:26:23,315 Speaker 1: one of the most famous actresses of the nineteen sixties 385 00:26:23,355 --> 00:26:27,515 Speaker 1: and nineteen seventies, star of the TV series Bewitched, daughter 386 00:26:27,555 --> 00:26:30,915 Speaker 1: of a famous actor, Robert Montgomery, and my friend from 387 00:26:30,915 --> 00:26:35,115 Speaker 1: early on the morning of January four, nine two until 388 00:26:35,195 --> 00:26:39,035 Speaker 1: she died in the spring of nine. Our friendship happened 389 00:26:39,275 --> 00:26:43,475 Speaker 1: only because of one thing. My sister had given me 390 00:26:43,515 --> 00:26:46,595 Speaker 1: a book about one of our favorite topics, the never 391 00:26:46,675 --> 00:26:49,395 Speaker 1: to be solved mystery of Lizzie Borden and the Borden 392 00:26:49,475 --> 00:26:54,515 Speaker 1: Family acts murders of eighteen ninety two in Fall River, Massachusetts. Yes, 393 00:26:54,755 --> 00:26:58,155 Speaker 1: we're weird. And also the fact that Elizabeth Montgomery had 394 00:26:58,155 --> 00:27:01,915 Speaker 1: played Lizzie Borden in a TV movie. So on January fourteenth, 395 00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:04,395 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, as I sat waiting for our flight 396 00:27:04,435 --> 00:27:06,995 Speaker 1: till leave I c JFK Airport in New York for 397 00:27:07,075 --> 00:27:09,515 Speaker 1: my then home in Los Angeles. Then I began to 398 00:27:09,555 --> 00:27:13,715 Speaker 1: read from my airplane seat my sister's gift from the aisle. 399 00:27:14,595 --> 00:27:17,195 Speaker 1: From the last one to board, I hear the voice 400 00:27:17,275 --> 00:27:22,035 Speaker 1: of Elizabeth Montgomery saying to me, Keith, you're reading about me. 401 00:27:23,275 --> 00:27:28,315 Speaker 1: She was a gas my brief but eternal friendship with 402 00:27:28,395 --> 00:27:31,755 Speaker 1: Lizzie Montgomery and the eternal lesson she taught me in 403 00:27:31,835 --> 00:27:33,835 Speaker 1: one moment, Please while I first explained what I was 404 00:27:33,875 --> 00:27:37,195 Speaker 1: doing on that flight. A month or two earlier, I 405 00:27:37,235 --> 00:27:40,555 Speaker 1: had agreed to join ESPN to co host Sports Center 406 00:27:40,595 --> 00:27:44,555 Speaker 1: with Dan Patrick, starting in late March. I had just 407 00:27:44,675 --> 00:27:48,275 Speaker 1: finished up three financially rewarding but souls sucking years at 408 00:27:48,355 --> 00:27:50,395 Speaker 1: Channel two in Los Angeles, and I was going to 409 00:27:50,475 --> 00:27:52,755 Speaker 1: go to Hawaii for three months and just live there 410 00:27:52,835 --> 00:27:57,875 Speaker 1: until I felt better. On Monday, December, I had literally 411 00:27:57,955 --> 00:28:00,435 Speaker 1: just opened my address book to find the number of 412 00:28:00,475 --> 00:28:03,275 Speaker 1: a travel agent I knew to make the Hawaii arrangements. 413 00:28:03,355 --> 00:28:06,435 Speaker 1: I was reaching for the phone own when the phone rang. 414 00:28:07,675 --> 00:28:10,035 Speaker 1: It was my business agent, who had just gotten off 415 00:28:10,035 --> 00:28:12,875 Speaker 1: the phone with my new ESPN boss, John Walsh. He 416 00:28:13,035 --> 00:28:16,075 Speaker 1: and they were launching a new radio networking five days. 417 00:28:16,835 --> 00:28:21,115 Speaker 1: I found this interesting but not particularly relevant. ESPN was 418 00:28:21,235 --> 00:28:24,395 Speaker 1: one thing then it was one TV network, no magazine, 419 00:28:24,395 --> 00:28:28,115 Speaker 1: no radio, no ESPN the Oho, so this was their 420 00:28:28,155 --> 00:28:31,835 Speaker 1: first big move outwards. The radio network would start with 421 00:28:31,955 --> 00:28:35,155 Speaker 1: only two seven hour shows on Saturday and Sunday nights, 422 00:28:35,595 --> 00:28:37,795 Speaker 1: and Walsh explained to my agent that everything was going 423 00:28:37,795 --> 00:28:39,315 Speaker 1: great and they were right on target, and they had 424 00:28:39,315 --> 00:28:42,315 Speaker 1: great guests lined up for the first weekend, like Ronald Reagan. 425 00:28:42,315 --> 00:28:44,795 Speaker 1: And they only had one tiny problem. They needed three hosts. 426 00:28:44,835 --> 00:28:47,515 Speaker 1: And they had two terrific hosts, just terrific hosts, one 427 00:28:47,635 --> 00:28:49,995 Speaker 1: Keith worked with named Tony Bruno, and another terrific, just 428 00:28:50,115 --> 00:28:52,635 Speaker 1: terrific host from Providence named Chuck Wilson.

They had nobody, 432 00:28:58,275 --> 00:29:00,155 Speaker 1: nobody to be the third host. Who was any good. 433 00:29:00,195 --> 00:29:02,195 Speaker 1: Keith just come here just for the first weekend, just 434 00:29:02,235 --> 00:29:03,675 Speaker 1: to get it off the ground. They can go back 435 00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:05,675 Speaker 1: to l A and come back here in March takeover sports. 436 00:29:05,715 --> 00:29:08,395 Speaker 1: And please, please please get Keith help us, please because 437 00:29:08,395 --> 00:29:10,155 Speaker 1: if he Canada, know what on earth we're gonna do it? 438 00:29:10,195 --> 00:29:15,315 Speaker 1: Please please please.

The only thing that 459 00:30:22,795 --> 00:30:26,035 Speaker 1: isn't beige is the six inches of snow that falls overnight, 460 00:30:26,035 --> 00:30:29,475 Speaker 1: and I remind myself it's only till Monday. The launch 461 00:30:29,595 --> 00:30:32,315 Speaker 1: of the network on Saturday goes well.

And 501 00:32:16,955 --> 00:32:18,755 Speaker 1: by the way, this phone call is taking place with 502 00:32:18,795 --> 00:32:22,035 Speaker 1: me on the floor of the studio in which the 503 00:32:22,075 --> 00:32:24,515 Speaker 1: other two hosts are live on the new radio network. 504 00:32:24,595 --> 00:32:28,355 Speaker 1: So I whispered a Tartable if I say it's the Yankees, 505 00:32:29,075 --> 00:32:33,075 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? And he says, I can't tell you 506 00:32:33,235 --> 00:32:36,515 Speaker 1: and starts whispering. But off the record, the press conference 507 00:32:36,555 --> 00:32:38,715 Speaker 1: is Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Is that enough for you, 508 00:32:38,715 --> 00:32:41,395 Speaker 1: you bastard? And of course I said no, come on 509 00:32:41,435 --> 00:32:43,075 Speaker 1: the show and tell us come on, and he laughs 510 00:32:43,115 --> 00:32:45,075 Speaker 1: and says I'll see you Wednesday and hangs up. And 511 00:32:45,115 --> 00:32:46,555 Speaker 1: I get up and I sit in the vacant chair 512 00:32:46,595 --> 00:32:49,795 Speaker 1: and I can say breaking news. ESPN report now that 513 00:32:49,835 --> 00:32:52,355 Speaker 1: the free agent now fielder Danny Tartuble has agreed to 514 00:32:52,395 --> 00:32:55,315 Speaker 1: a multi year deal with the New York Yankees. Sources 515 00:32:55,315 --> 00:32:57,635 Speaker 1: close to the negotiations say there will be a press 516 00:32:57,635 --> 00:33:00,675 Speaker 1: conference Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, and the other hosts are 517 00:33:00,715 --> 00:33:02,635 Speaker 1: trying not to crack up because they know I've just 518 00:33:02,675 --> 00:33:05,915 Speaker 1: been talking too Tartable from the phone in the same 519 00:33:06,035 --> 00:33:12,075 Speaker 1: room with them. Well, this story explodes way more than 520 00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:15,315 Speaker 1: it deserved. It's a dull Sunday night. It's still early 521 00:33:15,435 --> 00:33:17,315 Speaker 1: enough in the evening that the story makes all the 522 00:33:17,355 --> 00:33:20,795 Speaker 1: Monday newspapers, and it's attributed not to ESPN or to 523 00:33:20,955 --> 00:33:24,915 Speaker 1: Sports Center, but to the brand new ESPN Radio network 524 00:33:24,995 --> 00:33:27,475 Speaker 1: on its second day in business. And it's on the 525 00:33:27,515 --> 00:33:30,355 Speaker 1: front page of USA Today and the New York Times. 526 00:33:30,595 --> 00:33:34,035 Speaker 1: New ESPN Radio Network makes splash with Tartable scoop the 527 00:33:34,075 --> 00:33:37,195 Speaker 1: next morning, and I can't tell you how big a 528 00:33:37,275 --> 00:33:42,395 Speaker 1: deal that was back then. So now, instead of going 529 00:33:42,435 --> 00:33:44,875 Speaker 1: back to l A on Monday and maybe to Hawaii 530 00:33:44,915 --> 00:33:46,755 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, as I had planned, I have to go 531 00:33:46,795 --> 00:33:48,875 Speaker 1: to the press conference at Yankee Stadium to say hi 532 00:33:48,995 --> 00:33:51,115 Speaker 1: to Tartable on Wednesday and sort of thank him for 533 00:33:51,115 --> 00:33:54,275 Speaker 1: the scoop. And on Tuesday, this guy, John Walsh from 534 00:33:54,475 --> 00:33:56,875 Speaker 1: ESPN calls me and my agent says, look, we have 535 00:33:56,995 --> 00:33:59,195 Speaker 1: to take advantage of this. It's the best possible start 536 00:33:59,275 --> 00:34:01,715 Speaker 1: we could have hoped for for the radio network. Keith 537 00:34:01,755 --> 00:34:04,315 Speaker 1: has to stay with us for the next three months. 538 00:34:04,715 --> 00:34:06,755 Speaker 1: Why doesn't he stay in and do this weekend and 539 00:34:06,755 --> 00:34:08,675 Speaker 1: then go back to l A and pack up his apartment, 540 00:34:08,715 --> 00:34:11,155 Speaker 1: then come back here the weekend after that, and and 541 00:34:11,155 --> 00:34:14,475 Speaker 1: and and I say again to my agent, well, at 542 00:34:14,555 --> 00:34:17,715 Speaker 1: least ESPN will always think of me as a team 543 00:34:17,795 --> 00:34:24,715 Speaker 1: player if I do this, So I am not in 544 00:34:24,755 --> 00:34:27,715 Speaker 1: Hawaii and instead I am on board this flight when 545 00:34:27,755 --> 00:34:31,035 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Montgomery walks down the aisle and sees my Lizzie 546 00:34:31,035 --> 00:34:33,995 Speaker 1: Boarden book given to me by my sister and says, oh, Keith, 547 00:34:33,995 --> 00:34:36,915 Speaker 1: you're reading about me. Hi, I'm Lizzie Montgomery. I'm a 548 00:34:36,915 --> 00:34:39,555 Speaker 1: big fan of yours. Is that seat taken? And I say, 549 00:34:39,555 --> 00:34:42,235 Speaker 1: the hell if I care, sit down? And the only 550 00:34:42,275 --> 00:34:44,555 Speaker 1: time we're not talking for the next six hours is 551 00:34:44,555 --> 00:34:48,595 Speaker 1: when we are drinking, I believe, if I remember this correctly, 552 00:34:48,915 --> 00:34:52,235 Speaker 1: they had to send up a champagne refueling flight halfway 553 00:34:52,275 --> 00:34:55,955 Speaker 1: to l A. And she's a huge sports fan. Her 554 00:34:55,995 --> 00:34:57,875 Speaker 1: father was a founder of one of the southern California 555 00:34:57,915 --> 00:35:00,515 Speaker 1: horse racing tracks, and she loves the Lakers. And she 556 00:35:00,635 --> 00:35:02,795 Speaker 1: thinks she was related to Lizzie Borden. Did I ever 557 00:35:02,835 --> 00:35:05,315 Speaker 1: see the European version of her lizz the Boarding film 558 00:35:05,355 --> 00:35:07,355 Speaker 1: where they show the white shots where they make it 559 00:35:07,395 --> 00:35:09,835 Speaker 1: look like she's nude, And I say, I'm absolutely certain 560 00:35:09,915 --> 00:35:13,075 Speaker 1: I have not. And her son and her driver and 561 00:35:13,115 --> 00:35:15,275 Speaker 1: her rolls Royce meet us at l a X and 562 00:35:15,275 --> 00:35:17,235 Speaker 1: she wants me to see her house, and then her 563 00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:19,395 Speaker 1: driver and her rolls Royce will give me a lift home, 564 00:35:19,395 --> 00:35:20,915 Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, she's flying back to New 565 00:35:20,995 --> 00:35:25,555 Speaker 1: York in a week. Should we become flying buddies. On 566 00:35:25,635 --> 00:35:28,675 Speaker 1: that trip, our flight gets canceled and we have to 567 00:35:28,715 --> 00:35:30,675 Speaker 1: find a new one. I'm hand carrying a lot of 568 00:35:30,675 --> 00:35:33,715 Speaker 1: more more valuable baseball cards, including like five hundred different 569 00:35:33,755 --> 00:35:36,035 Speaker 1: from the year nineteen o nine, and she wants to 570 00:35:36,035 --> 00:35:38,315 Speaker 1: see them, and she wants me to tell her something 571 00:35:38,315 --> 00:35:42,395 Speaker 1: about each player while we drink again. And we land 572 00:35:42,435 --> 00:35:44,235 Speaker 1: and she says, how are you getting to your folks house? 573 00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:47,275 Speaker 1: And I say, well, I'm going to get a car 574 00:35:47,315 --> 00:35:48,915 Speaker 1: here or something, and she said, no, you're not. I'll 575 00:35:48,915 --> 00:35:50,835 Speaker 1: give you a lift in my limo going right past 576 00:35:50,875 --> 00:35:54,395 Speaker 1: your house. And sure enough we get there. And as 577 00:35:54,475 --> 00:35:57,515 Speaker 1: Lizzie Montgomery's limo is taking me to my folks house 578 00:35:57,555 --> 00:36:00,395 Speaker 1: at ten o'clock at night, she says, will they still 579 00:36:00,395 --> 00:36:02,515 Speaker 1: be up here? Folks want to play a practical joke 580 00:36:02,555 --> 00:36:05,595 Speaker 1: on them. So two minutes later I knocked on the 581 00:36:05,635 --> 00:36:07,795 Speaker 1: door of my childhood home and my father opens it 582 00:36:07,835 --> 00:36:10,835 Speaker 1: instead of seeing me, it's her in the doorway, and 583 00:36:10,875 --> 00:36:13,755 Speaker 1: she says, hi, Mr Alderman, I'm Lizzie. I'm a friend 584 00:36:13,755 --> 00:36:16,795 Speaker 1: of keys Can he come out and play, and my 585 00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:19,675 Speaker 1: dad goes silent for the only time I a in 586 00:36:19,755 --> 00:36:22,755 Speaker 1: my life. And now my mother appears, so Lizzie can 587 00:36:22,755 --> 00:36:26,035 Speaker 1: pull the same routine on her. Hi, Mrs Alderman, I'm Lizzie, 588 00:36:26,075 --> 00:36:27,675 Speaker 1: I'm a friend of keys. Can he come out and play? 589 00:36:27,755 --> 00:36:30,275 Speaker 1: And now my mother is silent for the only time 590 00:36:30,275 --> 00:36:35,875 Speaker 1: in my life? I might add I thought Lizzie looked fabulous, 591 00:36:35,915 --> 00:36:38,235 Speaker 1: and I looked her up in Hallowell's film Guide and 592 00:36:38,275 --> 00:36:40,155 Speaker 1: I saw she was forty eight, and I thought, boy, 593 00:36:40,235 --> 00:36:42,075 Speaker 1: she looks fabulous for forty eight, And then I realized 594 00:36:42,115 --> 00:36:44,475 Speaker 1: my math is wrong. She was fifty eight, and she 595 00:36:44,595 --> 00:36:47,435 Speaker 1: was a joy. We talked by phone every couple of 596 00:36:47,435 --> 00:36:49,475 Speaker 1: weeks after that, and she died three years later of 597 00:36:49,555 --> 00:36:53,915 Speaker 1: colon cancer. But she is with me always, and not 598 00:36:54,115 --> 00:36:58,155 Speaker 1: just as the proverbial force of nature. Within minutes of 599 00:36:58,195 --> 00:37:02,155 Speaker 1: that day we met, January two, she bestowed upon me 600 00:37:02,315 --> 00:37:07,595 Speaker 1: a lesson, an eternal lesson. We were a little late 601 00:37:07,635 --> 00:37:10,755 Speaker 1: taking off, and since she had just loudly introduced herself 602 00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:14,035 Speaker 1: to me like I didn't know who she was, anybody 603 00:37:14,075 --> 00:37:16,475 Speaker 1: on the plane who wasn't sure it was her was 604 00:37:16,555 --> 00:37:20,115 Speaker 1: now sure. As we waited to taxi. Every man on 605 00:37:20,155 --> 00:37:23,635 Speaker 1: that plane came over and did the same thing. Oh hi, 606 00:37:23,755 --> 00:37:26,955 Speaker 1: miss Montgomery, excuse me, and they give me some sort 607 00:37:26,955 --> 00:37:29,795 Speaker 1: of nodding acknowledgment, like, hey, how you doing? As they 608 00:37:29,835 --> 00:37:31,555 Speaker 1: lean in past me. I was a big fan of 609 00:37:31,635 --> 00:37:33,355 Speaker 1: the Witch. I know you must get asked, there's a 610 00:37:33,395 --> 00:37:34,995 Speaker 1: million times a day, But is there anything I'm so 611 00:37:35,075 --> 00:37:37,315 Speaker 1: sorry to ask? Could you do that little nose twitch 612 00:37:37,435 --> 00:37:39,235 Speaker 1: used to do in the show? And she would say, 613 00:37:39,275 --> 00:37:41,275 Speaker 1: of course, and then she'd do it in These men 614 00:37:41,435 --> 00:37:48,795 Speaker 1: aged all then giggle like schoolboys. After the thirty or 615 00:37:48,915 --> 00:37:51,795 Speaker 1: thirty first time this happened, I say to her, Lizzie, 616 00:37:51,875 --> 00:37:54,755 Speaker 1: I don't know you, but I like you a lot already, 617 00:37:54,875 --> 00:37:58,115 Speaker 1: and your attitude towards your fans and the nose twitch 618 00:37:58,395 --> 00:38:02,755 Speaker 1: is wonderful. But I have to tell you, I certainly 619 00:38:02,755 --> 00:38:04,435 Speaker 1: hope that was the last of them, because the next 620 00:38:04,475 --> 00:38:07,355 Speaker 1: one who comes over, I'm gonna have to strangle him 621 00:38:07,395 --> 00:38:09,595 Speaker 1: with my bare hands because I can't take it anymore. 622 00:38:10,915 --> 00:38:12,955 Speaker 1: And for the only minutes of all the time I 623 00:38:13,035 --> 00:38:16,475 Speaker 1: knew her, Elizabeth Montgomery got very serious and said, oh no, Keith, 624 00:38:17,315 --> 00:38:19,475 Speaker 1: that is not the attitude you must have about this 625 00:38:20,115 --> 00:38:23,115 Speaker 1: remind me what year did Bewitched go off the air? 626 00:38:24,515 --> 00:38:29,075 Speaker 1: I had to guess, and she said, exactly, good, correct, 627 00:38:29,115 --> 00:38:33,555 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. And these people have remembered that nose 628 00:38:33,715 --> 00:38:38,435 Speaker 1: twitch for twenty years at least Bewitched. Keith is not Hamlet, 629 00:38:38,955 --> 00:38:41,555 Speaker 1: it is not Arthur Miller, it is not the Godfather, 630 00:38:41,635 --> 00:38:45,115 Speaker 1: but they remembered it. This is why you and I 631 00:38:45,235 --> 00:38:47,635 Speaker 1: both do what we do for a living. We have 632 00:38:47,795 --> 00:38:51,635 Speaker 1: transcended time with what we do for a living, something artistic, 633 00:38:51,795 --> 00:38:54,555 Speaker 1: something creative, no matter how small that we have done, 634 00:38:55,115 --> 00:38:58,275 Speaker 1: they have remembered it. People do it with you, I'm sure, 635 00:38:58,595 --> 00:39:01,075 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'll continue to. And what you do 636 00:39:01,155 --> 00:39:04,995 Speaker 1: then is you say thank you for remembering, as if 637 00:39:04,995 --> 00:39:08,155 Speaker 1: they were the only one who ever remembered, Because that's 638 00:39:08,475 --> 00:39:12,635 Speaker 1: why we do this, Because they remembered me from twenty 639 00:39:12,715 --> 00:39:19,275 Speaker 1: years ago for a stupid little nose twitch. Duly chastised, 640 00:39:20,155 --> 00:39:26,595 Speaker 1: I apologized, and the huge, welcoming, conspiratorial, permanent friendship sexy 641 00:39:26,755 --> 00:39:31,315 Speaker 1: smile of Elizabeth Montgomery broke across her face like the sunrise, 642 00:39:32,075 --> 00:39:37,195 Speaker 1: and she whispered, either that Keith or they saw Bewitched 643 00:39:37,195 --> 00:39:41,315 Speaker 1: on cable last week, which means Lizzie gets another check 644 00:39:41,435 --> 00:39:46,235 Speaker 1: next week, and she twitched her nose at me, and 645 00:39:46,475 --> 00:40:02,475 Speaker 1: I will always love her.
