Speaker 3: we had a dinner. It's in my book for Margaret,
Speaker 3: Princess Margaret, and she did you know New York dinner
Speaker 3: parties sort of chop off around ten to fifteen and
Speaker 3: people have to get to work and a living, and
Speaker 3: she and nobody was allowed to leave until she left me,
Speaker 3: actually a protocol, and she she stayed until about twelve thirty.
Speaker 3: And people, no, no, it was like a hostile situation
Speaker 3: for most of the gay than It was just the
Speaker 3: looks on their face. And your friend Barry Dollar was
Speaker 3: just because they kept saying, I gotta get out of here,
Speaker 3: and I said, oh, no, no, no, please, just go at
Speaker 3: the back door. If you're gonna leave, please.
Speaker 1: That is it's brutal, like you think you're going to
Speaker 1: pass out. I've had that happen to us at our house,
Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: There's a natural time span. And then my father used
Speaker 3: to come down. He was the same way and went
Speaker 3: around ten, ten to fifteen. He'd he'd go to my
Speaker 3: mother and say whisper quite loudly, so the guys can
Speaker 3: hear Mark. We can't keep these good people any longer.
Speaker 3: People started watching Your First Kiss, My First Kiss. I
Speaker 3: played football and when I was in high school and
Speaker 3: went out with one of the cheerleaders. All right, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3: World, definitely the southern France and one aside from New York.
Speaker 3: I do love. I just love the smell, I love
Speaker 3: the light, I love the peacefulness. And people in the
Speaker 3: southern France are much happier and friendlier than people in
Speaker 3: northern France. It's like it's like different nations. And there's
Speaker 3: just something about the sky and the size of the sky.
Speaker 1: Anyway, edge of love it biggest embarrassment.
Speaker 3: Biggest embarrassment, Holy count there's so many. I mean one
Speaker 3: time I was on a traveling hockey team and we
Speaker 3: were in the Montreal subway station and I was leaning
Speaker 3: over those the cheerleaders rolled down below, and all the
Speaker 3: girls from the high school were down below, and I
Speaker 3: leaned over my equipment bank accidentally and my my jock
Speaker 3: strap fell out of the equipment bank and went down
Speaker 3: on the floor, and you'd think of bomb. Atlantic women
Speaker 3: were shrieking and I had to like go down the
Speaker 3: stairs and pick up that would be I was like
Speaker 3: it was on your teenage. I was sweating and it
Speaker 3: was wet and the sort of splosh. See.
