<v Speaker 3>to New York. I mean I was just so excited.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.280

<v Speaker 2>You you have to leave New York day and can

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 2>only take things you can carry with you.

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>What are you bringing?

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 3>I take my cameras. I have a couple of likea cameras,

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and I would think something from my office. I have

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>this sort of wonderful old astroid that's shaped like a

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>giant champagne cork that I have.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>To love and probably take that, Okay, which I also

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>love in you book when you when you realize that

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the marketing tool of creating ashtrays and things for people

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:27.559
<v Speaker 2>to actually take.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 3>I still have.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Loafers or lace ups lace ups.

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Most beautiful person you've ever met movie star wise male

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and female.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I met years ago when I was working at time.

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 3>I had covered something and I met Myrtle Loi. But

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>I was the most beautiful woman and she had exactly

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>the same thing she did in the Thin Men. She

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>has that sort of disease where she had millions of

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 3>tiny rakles. So if you saw her at eight away,

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>she looked exactly like thin Man Myrtle Oi, and she

0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I love that about you. I love that you're connected

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to the past.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Great best well, best part you've ever best part you've

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>ever thrown doesn't have to be a vanity fair party.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Best part you've ever thrown.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I did the dinner at the River Cafe in London.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 3>That was pretty fabulous, and it was it was all

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 3>people from the British Theater and that was that was

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 3>pretty memorable.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Wine Red White Rose.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, we I pushed the season, but at both ends,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 3>so I have to like Rose my friends, you know,

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's a I'm assuming it's better for you, but.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna assume, yeah, you love the hotel to.

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Cop too expansive, But yes I did.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>We had a fun time in the lobby that day.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Good laugh in the lobby that day looking at all

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the blonde women.

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, No, no, I do like the hotel to cap.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Worst faux pas when hosting a dinner party.

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Worst faux pas. Well, I mean this wasn't during a

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 3>dinner party. There's a during a dinner I had. I

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 3>was having a dinner in Canada and congratulated our waitress

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>on being pregnant. And you know, I think must have been.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>All do that once and that never ever again, ever again.

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're like, you can never recover.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I can't watch. You didn't let me finished.

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Worst faup when you were attending Identifi.

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, I'm pretty well behaved nowadays.

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Or someone attending your dinner.

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think anybody who stays too long, like

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>we had a dinner. It's in my book for Margaret,

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Princess Margaret, and she did you know New York dinner

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 3>parties sort of chop off around ten to fifteen and

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 3>people have to get to work and a living, and

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 3>she and nobody was allowed to leave until she left me,

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 3>actually a protocol, and she she stayed until about twelve thirty.

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 3>And people, no, no, it was like a hostile situation

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 3>for most of the gay than It was just the

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 3>looks on their face. And your friend Barry Dollar was

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 3>just because they kept saying, I gotta get out of here,

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>and I said, oh, no, no, no, please, just go at

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 3>the back door. If you're gonna leave, please.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>That is it's brutal, like you think you're going to

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>pass out. I've had that happen to us at our house,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're just like, oh my god.

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 3>There's a natural time span. And then my father used

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>to come down. He was the same way and went

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 3>around ten, ten to fifteen. He'd he'd go to my

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 3>mother and say whisper quite loudly, so the guys can

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>hear Mark. We can't keep these good people any longer.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>People started watching Your First Kiss, My First Kiss. I

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 3>played football and when I was in high school and

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>went out with one of the cheerleaders. All right, yeah, that's.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>A good memorn favorite place you've been in the.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 3>World, definitely the southern France and one aside from New York.

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I do love. I just love the smell, I love

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 3>the light, I love the peacefulness. And people in the

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 3>southern France are much happier and friendlier than people in

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 3>northern France. It's like it's like different nations. And there's

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 3>just something about the sky and the size of the sky.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, edge of love it biggest embarrassment.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Biggest embarrassment, Holy count there's so many. I mean one

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 3>time I was on a traveling hockey team and we

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.119
<v Speaker 3>were in the Montreal subway station and I was leaning

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 3>over those the cheerleaders rolled down below, and all the

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.679
<v Speaker 3>girls from the high school were down below, and I

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 3>leaned over my equipment bank accidentally and my my jock

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 3>strap fell out of the equipment bank and went down

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.119
<v Speaker 3>on the floor, and you'd think of bomb. Atlantic women

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 3>were shrieking and I had to like go down the

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 3>stairs and pick up that would be I was like

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 3>it was on your teenage. I was sweating and it

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 3>was wet and the sort of splosh. See.

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you were in a room with gay guys,

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>that would have been like the most exciting thing that

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 2>ever happened.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>To any of them. Thank you for joining.
