And that's 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.400 the one, well not the one, but like one big 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.640 thing that you know, I've learned from this and why 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.360 I feel at peace was that he lived so much. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.239 He lived a thousand lifetimes in his sixty years. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.240 I can't believe we're coming up on the two year 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.919 anniversary in a few weeks. What is this time of 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.120 year like for you or do you feel that weird 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.479 like anticipation of that date or do you struggle? Do 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.080 you just kind of stay busy and put it out 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.640 of your mind, what's in your head space right now. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.640 We'll keep in mind this year, the two year anniversary 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.240 is going to be very different than the one year. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.800 You know, the one year was really really hard because 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.159 when you get to that year mark of being like, oh, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.280 now it's been a whole year that he hasn't been 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.359 in like when you write because he passed January twenty 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.479 twenty two and we got to twenty two, I'm like, oh, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.600 here's a year that, yeah, we see him, you know 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:05.080 what I mean. And obviously two years you've processed a 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.919 lot and you've gone through a lot. It's you know, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.120 you're in a much better place. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.200 Than you one the time heals everything right. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.360 And the twelve month mark was very different than the 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.640 six month mark. It's a three month mark, so it 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:24.119 was very very The one year mark was really really 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.040 gut wrenching and very difficult. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:28.400 You know. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.279 I've gone to visit him a bunch, which is nice, 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.160 and I think I did either on the anniversary or 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.760 within a day or two last year, and I'll do 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:43.200 the same this year. But yeah, it's I think this 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.560 this year will be definitely easier. But it's you know 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.640 that January ninth, as well as you know, his birthday 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.520 or just two days that are just very weird. But yeah, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.000 you know, each one's always going to get a little 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.960 bit easier and a little bit different. You have a 0:05:59.000 --> 0:05:59.839 different perspective. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.680 I think you just get more used to this new 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:03.360 normal too. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:04.880 I don't know if it I don't know if it 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.000 ever gets easier, but you just kind of get used 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:07.280 to it. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:08.760 I don't, I don't know. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.120 That's how I feel anyways, when I process my own 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.880 grief around Bob. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.480 Sort of the acute, the acute grief of it turns 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:20.480 into and a grief that always exists, but maybe it 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.760 doesn't stab quite the same way. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.120 Yeah, I it's interesting. I can easily when I go 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.800 back to that day, you know, and Jodie, like you 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.480 were there within like that first hour. Pretty much like 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.640 when I go back to that day, I can easily 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:44.320 feel just as much pain and you know, torment and 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:50.240 trauma as I did two years ago. So I can 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.840 be easily transported back to that really like got wrenching, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:07:02.240 horrific time, but normal day, like you know, during my 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.279 normal life. Whatever. It's you know, obviously much better and 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.120 much easier now than it was two years ago. But 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.880 I'm at a place now where I can, for the 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.120 most part, like look at a picture, watch a video 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.640 and smile and have like happy primories of it and 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.160 like actually enjoy that versus you know, those first let's say, 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.360 six months, I would do it all. I never shied 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.120 away from it. I always would still watch the videos 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.400 and look at the pictures and always. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.280 Relive the feelings. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.160 But it was really really, really really hard, like you 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.440 couldn't do it without sobbing uncontrollably. I still did it, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.480 But now I can do it and smile and laugh 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.840 and enjoy it more. But still Like the other day, 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:51.400 I UH was watching one of his podcasts with Rabbi Leader, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.760 who you know did his uh his funeral, and he 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.720 had had him on his podcast one year to the 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.000 day before he passed, which was kind of interesting. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:07:59.840 Wow, and. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.280 The way he was signing off with him, he was like, 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.960 I love you. You know, you always got to tell 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.119 people you love them. And then he was also talking 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:14.120 about grief, and it's so interesting to hear Bob give 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.680 advice on how to help people grieve because he was 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.280 such a professional at that. But then looking back, right, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.720 so weird to hear him talk about grief, like in 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.160 the moment, and. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.920 And he had I mean, Bob had a lot of grief. 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.760 A lot of you know, watch so much death in 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.040 his life. And yeah, but looking back to hear him talk, 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.120 I remember, I just I watched this podcast. I didn't 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:38.199 think it was going to make me lose it, but 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.080 I just I just lost it. And I just started, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.240 this was just a few days ago, just started, you know, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.880 bawling uncontrollably. Because certain things, you know, like you can 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.920 be a moment, like be a little disconnected from it, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.679 and then certain things just like bring you right back. Yeah, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.960 it never really you know, you can go back to 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.480 that moment at any time. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.240 What I learned from Bob a big lesson about grief 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.720 is that you can laugh in the midst of grief, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.680 and you can find connection and joy in the midst 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.160 of grief, and that that's okay. Yeah, you know, I 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.040 remember I watched him go through all everything with his sisters, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.680 and you know, I just I just all that was 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:24.640 something that really stuck with me because I think, like 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.120 my family was, grief was a little more like a 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:33.040 sort of sacrisanct, you didn't, you know, And and grief 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.079 to me was something I had. I was like, there's 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.520 there's a different way I have to process this, and 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.880 watching him, like I always, you know, I always think 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.040 now when I make an inappropriate joke at a really 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:50.120 terrible time, that it's the best way I know how 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.319 to cope with things, and that I remember watching him 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.199 do that and it was like okay, and. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.359 That Bob would be sanctioning it because. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.520 He well, for sure, and I'm pretty sure I was 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:04.520 making in appropriate jokes from the get go, and because 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.040 I was like, if someone's gonna have to make. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.280 A really bad joke, im, I'll volunteers tribute. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.360 So we all learned that from him, you know. I 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.960 remember when I first met him and he would make 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.000 certain jokes, even about his sister. I was like, how 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.520 can you see it?

It's so cathartic to listen to people 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.840 talk so openly and honestly about their grief process because 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.640 it's something people don't talk about so openly and honestly. 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:55.920 So I'm loving it. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.120 And we so should. It's so important, this. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.440 Strangely taboo thing. And so I was like, how can 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.000 I make it more approachable? Because I'm no expert by 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.440 any means, but like, how can I make it more 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:12.240 approachable and a little bit lighter, you know, to talk 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.160 about these things? And so, you know, I'm having on 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.440 wonderful people, and I cannot wait to have both of 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.680 you on, of course, because you have been both have 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.280 been through this, and I mean, I know you both 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.880 have such unique and interesting stories that people can learn 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.640 from of what you each have gone through. And it's 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.040 not just grief, I mean, because I know you both 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.960 experienced that, but just difficult times in general. I mean, 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:38.320 some people have, you know, whether it's a divorce or 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.760 a loss of a loved one or some sort of 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.920 you know, addiction or like something that people have overcome 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.320 that while they're talking about this is difficult time in 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.960 their life, we're eating my guests favorite comfort food, so 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.200 you know, we're eating their favorite comfort food to make 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:59.080 this conversation a little bit more happy, a little bit 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:03.040 more light, and to help people who have been through 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.560 that type of thing. So you know, it's a lot 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.399 of them are comedians that I'm having on and some 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.040 people are people who like, for instance, I had Jojo 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.680 Siwa on on her episode so Soon, and she's twenty 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.359 years old. People are like, what has she gone through? 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.240 It's like she has still been through some difficult things 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.320 that the way she's processed it people can learn from 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.400 even though she's only twenty, you know. So and then 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.200 whether it's you know John Stamos or John Mayer or 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.320 you know Katie Kuric who lost her husband at the 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.920 same age that I was, I mean, everyone has such 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.120 an interesting perspective, and I just want to have these 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:43.679 conversations with people that it's not like doom and gloom 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.119 and yeah bad, But how can we make it? You know, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:48.280 how do we talk about it more? 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.640 How do we I just had Jeff. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.919 Ross on and he loved Jeff, he said, I mean, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.240 he's the best. And of course his comfort food his 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.119 episode hasn't come out yet, but his comfort food was 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.280 a b fribs and pastrami, because that's what he loved 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:03.760 you with, Bob and. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.680 Yeah, after I was going to say, it's something from 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:07.439 a deli, yeah. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.280 He said, he goes. You know, I thought that was 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.480 going to be sad, but it was really happy and 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.080 really fun and it was actually fun. So I hope 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.080 that that's what this can do. So, Andrew, I thank 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.040 you for saying that it's your new favorite.
