28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,160

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Oh she I love her cooking.

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: She made waffles this morning that I was just crazy

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: that I take one quarter of those the kids to have.

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, I took a quarter and some some French butter.

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: She's a kind of connoisseurrup and some syrup.

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: And I was very happy. And then Charlie made my coffee.

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: But she she cooks nicely.

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: I don't do much, although I must tell you today

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: I cooked myself an egg.

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: You did.

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: Oftentimes she has cooked it. But I've realized I'm getting

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 4: to be persnicketty in particular, and so I just about

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: the heat and the everything, and I think I know

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: what to do, so I could. I've done many different

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: scrambled things through the earth these days. One egg fried,

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: and I take a spoonful of minced garlic and with

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: some butter, and I start that and then I bink,

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: I crack it into the pan and then shredded cheese.

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: Today I think it was some kind of Mozilla.

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: It might have been schaeddared cheese sprinkling on top, salt,

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: and pepper just at the right time, flip it over

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: more cheese, take it out just at the right time,

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: eat it immediately when it's hot.

52
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: I was very very happy.

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: And then I've got no bread.

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind a piece of bread and some you know, toast,

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: but I had a little oatmeal on the side. That's

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: my carb of choice. I think it's the more wise

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: carb choice.

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 3: And it can be very nice. I like it.

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, some blueberries and then some fresh squeezed orange juice.

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: The difference between fresh squeezed and not fresh squeezed vast, yes, vast,

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: and the monsieur like fresh squeeze terrifically I can be

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: excited about.

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: The orange juices are deeply just one. And then uh yeah,

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: that was it. And then I got a couple of.

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: Hot sauces, a green kind of saltsup in a bottle

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: that I like a lot, and this other thing that

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: they gave me it highly likely place in Highland Park,

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: and they gave me that hot sauce.

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: I put those on the side. I was very very happy.

Speaker 4: So I drove uncharacteristically, it was kind of lateish and

139
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,200

00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: Well, who knows, you know?

144
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: I mean, if time is the malleable thing that we

145
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: think it may be, and there's no such thing as

146
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: the continuum that it seems on the clock, then it

147
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: was already now, and we'd already had two kids, and

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: the seeds of what might have been were already in

149
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: the oak tree. Then the acorn was in the oak tree.

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: So yes, it's something in me, maybe some molecule in

151
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: some part of me. It got excited about. Yeah, I

152
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: see the whole thing. And then the first day, so

153
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: then that was kind of a first day. Then I

154
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: went to see her dance. And then a couple of

155
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: days later I was playing in the jazz gig. I said,

156
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: you come and watch.

157
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Me, and.

158
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: One thing led to another and we started to play

159
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: that song from Fabulous Baker Boys, you know, another gin,

160
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: and she got up on top of my grand piano

161
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: and did a kind of an amazing routine spontaneously. That's

162
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: kind of an extended part of this first date. And

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: then I said, hey, come over, and I don't know

164
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: what I say. Come over, you know, we'll work on

165
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: a monologue or something like that. I don't know, and

166
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: knock knock. And at that point the story gets fuzzy

167
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: because now what it really is is the trigger for

168
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: this joke that just keeps happening. She never seems to

169
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: tire of it, and the kids seemed to get a

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 4: kick out of it. Where I say, here's what happened.

171
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: I keep retelling what happened when she first knocked on

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: the door and came over the house my version, and

173
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: every time it's different.

174
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: Is something that she did that was that was wildly

175
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: aggressive and and you.

176
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: Know she's a nikiva and when saying something rippeled and

177
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: you know, whenever, instead of you know, you know she said,

178
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 4: you know, that's what she said, it's like, that's what

179
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: you said when you first came over. That's always the joke.

180
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: So I've told that joke a thousand times and that's

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: our first date. Really now just the vehicle for this joke,

182
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: this recurring joke.

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. Charlie and River get a kick

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: out of it, and they do.

185
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: Yes, And we keep saying, Charlie, what's true? She says,

186
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: She keeps sayings as robustly.

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 3: As she ever did.

188
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: Know, why would I say that? I couldn't have said do?

189
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 4: I seem like the kind of race says that. Then

190
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: I say, Charlie River, who's right? And either always shad Mama, No,

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: you're allow you know, et cetera, et cetera.

192
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: You know, I think that the sliding doors, that's life.

193
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Life is sliding doors. Yes, you don't know. Whenever you

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: don't know, you take a right, you take a left.

195
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: Chaos theory yes, if not for a butterfly flapping its wings,

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: we wouldn't have, you know, A Man on the Moon.

197
00:09:36,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, favorite book.

198
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: Ooh hey, good question. Well I've enjoyed through the years. Well,

199
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: listen to this. We were just talking about Emily.

200
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: You know what I did on my real first date,

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: kind of if you call it, when I said, hey,

00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 4: read her The Great Gatsby, which she'd never read, and

206
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: over the course of that night and several others, I

207
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,480

230
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: of great to be lost in someone else's voice and

231
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: telling of a story in someone of your caliber.

232

Speaker 4: Well, sometimes I'm not famous, you know, case by case basis.

246
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: Oh sure, somebody said, as a matter of fact. At

Speaker 3: Keep it rolling, you know, but I can I maybe

261
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: it's impolite, but can I just correct you? It's it's

264
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: let's tell you so that I said, that's okay, you

265
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 4: could have put that on the air. But anyway, so

266
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: people know me a little bit or not much or

267
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,200

268
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: listen to this. I'll tell you something. I kind of like,

269
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,920

270
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: of the worst part there could be? Well, i'll tell

271
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: you it all came home today. I was I can't

272
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: tell you what establishment. We were looking into a new

273
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: kind of thing to do and place to go and

274
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: U in La today Emily and I were talking.

275
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: We said, like a general thing to do something new

276
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: and it was a.

277
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 4: Particular kind of club or something something of something. Because

278
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: we got to talking and I said, hey, you know

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: who was talking about that? And she said, hey, that's

280
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: a great idea. Let's let's go all them, right And

281
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: I said okay. And I was a little bit happy

282
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: once again because I thought, hey, I can help this situation.

283
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 3: Because sometimes when I call, and I do it in

284
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: a I think a.

285
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: Gracious and elegant way where I say Hi, how are

286
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: you this Jeff Goldblum. So I say I say hi,

287
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: they say they answer, I say Hi, this is Jeff Goldblum,

288
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: how are you? I think, I say, wanting to pass

289
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: by quickly, but I do say my name, and sometimes,

290
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: as we know, for for good or ill, if it

291
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: makes people sick, I understand completely.

292
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: But and I probably shouldn't have been.

293
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: Accept the steps that I sometimes get to pass through quickly.

294
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: But anyway, I don't mind it.

295
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: And so and so sometimes people go, oh, let's help

296
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 4: you with her restaurant or whatever it is in this

297
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: case today, and so I like that part of it.

298
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: It's and I don't it's it's it's it's kind of yiky,

299
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: But at the same time, I don't mind it.

300
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: If I can go, hey, Emily, let me help you.

301
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: I think we'll be.

302
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: Taken care of a little better. That's a great part,

303
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: and we'll have a little magical moment. Somebody will be

304
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: happy and we'll be taken care of, and the whole

305
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: thing I think. I like that.

306
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: There's many examples of that. When it doesn't this, I

307
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: think this person said hell.

308
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: They were already kind of hello, no, no, no, kind

309
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: of perfunctory, if that's the right word.

310
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: I say, hello, this is Jeff Goldwam. How are you?

311
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: They said, fine, I went on.

312
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: We're realizing immediately this was not the open says to

313
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 4: me that I hoped, and they they said, I said, yes,

314
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: well let me ask you is it in a question question?

315
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:45,239
Speaker 4: And they maintained the same level of of you know, aloofness,

316
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: and and then we put down the phone and it

317
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: didn't ruin the whole thing.

318
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, well we may pursue this,

319
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: but gee, that didn't. And then I assess it.

320
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: I kind of did a recap of the whole thing

321
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: with Emily, and I went, well, here's what I was,

322
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: here's what we got, this is what they seemed they

323
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: were going through, this is who it seemed like they were, and.

324
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: Maybe they were thinking this, et cetera, et cetera. So

325
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: that's a boring story.

326
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Anyway story because it's like you don't know what you

327
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: go further into it.

328
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was. It interested us, and it really

329
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: was about this whole thing. Right.

330
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: It's funny because when you realize something doesn't land the

331
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: way you think it's going to land, like you try

332
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: to us to see if you can lift it up again,

333
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: and then you're like, okay, this is not going in.

334
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Okay, and then okay, we'll wrap it up with.

335
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: These are so easily stimulated. There's about everything. None of

336
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: them interested. Okay, this will be my final. They're all interesting.

337
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: Superpower you wish you had.

338
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: Super power?

339
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: Superpower?

340
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: Wow?

341
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: Right, Well, off the top of my head.

342
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: A little bit on the piggybacking on the last story,

343
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: which is really the upshot for me of that story.

344
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, Buster, talking to myself. Take it easy.

345
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: You know, who do you think you are? After all?

346
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: So really, I mean that's the upshot of that last story.

347
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: No matter how much fun Emily and I might have had,

348
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: you know, busting ourselves over, here's what I expected, here's

349
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 4: what we didn't get, and look how the world is really.

350
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: I mean, here's one answer. If I had a superpower,

351
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: it would.

352
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: Be all right, put this to be.

353
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Oh boy, to be at you know, at a moment's

354
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 4: you know, on a dime, devoid of which sounds too

355
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 4: high falutin to call it ego, but you know, attachment

356
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: to one thing or another, whether it's my own identity

357
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: short lived and fleeting as we know, and you know,

358
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: superficial identity.

359
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: Uh, it would be that something in that vein. I

360
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: don't want to sound too high fallutin.

361
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: But really a kind of a larger perspective, the superpower

362
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: of having on demand a very available the largest kind

363
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: of perspective, and and and and and we're not even

364
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 4: necessarily talking about something necessarily spiritual or high fallutint. Let's

365
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 4: just call it what what in the same in the

366
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: same adjacent to what juve All Harari talks about, which

367
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: is just, hey, as a homo sapien, here's where we've

368
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 4: come from. Uh, this is who we are, and what's

369
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: the best what's the best that we can do? That

370
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 4: that's a pretty good I mean, human beings are really

371
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: possessed of the potential of real superpower and it's sort

372
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 4: of in that area of of being conscious. Let's call

373
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 4: it anyway, that's my real answer. I mean, instead of

374
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: instead of something stupid like em shore invisible or my

375
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 4: arms could stretch, you know, around the corner by myself.

376
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: We hit a wild ride today with you, sir. Thank

377
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,800
