839 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:32,560 to talk about how the how the camera 840 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:34,079 worked and 841 00:38:37,990 --> 00:38:36,079 who does the editing and how do you edit 842 00:38:40,150 --> 00:38:38,000 and i realized 843 00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:40,160 years later that this was a kid that was 844 00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:41,599 really unique 845 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,320 because he wanted to learn and he wanted 846 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:46,079 to learn about everything 847 00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:48,880 and i believe the tragedy of course is 848 00:38:55,349 --> 00:38:49,200 for 849 00:38:56,390 --> 00:38:55,359 one family or another but the other 850 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:56,400 tragedy of course 851 00:39:00,069 --> 00:38:59,200 and it's it's equally significant is we 852 00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:00,079 never got to see 853 00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:02,160 what he was going to become outside of 854 00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:03,119 the game 855 00:39:06,950 --> 00:39:05,040 and i believe that kobe bryant would 856 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:06,960 have been a leader 857 00:39:11,990 --> 00:39:09,520 in women's sports he could have been a 858 00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:12,000 commissioner in the wnba say 859 00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:14,320 he could have certainly had a part 860 00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:15,920 ownership of the lakers 861 00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:18,480 he had a film a burgeoning film 862 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:19,280 directing 863 00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:22,400 and producing um career as 864 00:39:26,470 --> 00:39:24,320 executive producer he won an academy 865 00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:26,480 award people may or may not remember 866 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:27,280 that 867 00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:29,599 so i think obviously it's tragic on so 868 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:31,680 many levels so many families touched as 869 00:39:35,670 --> 00:39:32,640 you mentioned before 870 00:39:38,470 --> 00:39:35,680 nine total or killed but 871 00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:38,480 we never got to see what kobe bryant 872 00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:39,440 might have been 873 00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:41,920 as an an older man and we and what he 874 00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:42,960 would have done 875 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:45,280 and i likened it to buddy holly losing 876 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:46,240 his life in 877 00:39:49,349 --> 00:39:48,160 iowa when the plane crashed the day the 878 00:39:51,829 --> 00:39:49,359 music died 879 00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:51,839 don mclean's famous lyrics song where 880 00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:54,640 the lyrics is really about buddy holly 881 00:39:58,790 --> 00:39:56,800 we never got to see he was only 22 at 882 00:40:02,069 --> 00:39:58,800 least kobe was about 40 883 00:40:02,470 --> 00:40:02,079 but but you know but it was a similar 884 00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:02,480 thing 885 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,400 in the sense that buddy holly we never 886 00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:06,240 knew what was going to become of him 887 00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:08,240 he died tragically with other people as 888 00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:10,000 well jb richardson 889 00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:12,960 and richie valens but this was a this 890 00:40:17,270 --> 00:40:15,200 was a devastating loss in sports 891 00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:17,280 so in answer to your question yeah i 892 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:19,280 feel it it impacts me 893 00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:22,160 um but so do millions of other people 894 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:22,880 feel it too 895 00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:25,760 so i'm not unique in that area he he i 896 00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:26,720 think for 897 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,160 most of us uh including yourself 898 00:40:33,270 --> 00:40:32,160 he hadn't grown up yet he still looked 899 00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:33,280 like a kid 900 00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:35,680 right yep yeah and and that was part of 901 00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:36,720 the impact 902 00:40:40,309 --> 00:40:39,680 even for you you you meet him when he's 903 00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:40,319 18 904 00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:43,440 he's 40. he's still the kid to all of 905 00:40:46,550 --> 00:40:43,920 this 906 00:40:47,910 --> 00:40:46,560 sure a lot of life to be led uh i'll 907 00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:47,920 tell you there's some interesting things 908 00:40:50,150 -->

integrity and uh it was 955 00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:24,079 a fascinating interview but that was 956 00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:25,280 just another story 957 00:42:28,470 --> 00:42:27,680 you know he had his had his darkness we 958 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:28,480 know that 959 00:42:31,589 --> 00:42:30,480 it's been well chronicled he was 960 00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:31,599 involved in an 961 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:34,240 issue that uh was never adjudicated 962 00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:36,480 there was no verdict in the trial of 963 00:42:42,550 --> 00:42:39,520 accused rape um he denied it 964 00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:42,560 but uh they settled it and 965 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,720 for the rest of his life at least the 966 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:46,240 way i felt 967 00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:49,839 uh it was transpiring kobe had a kind of 968 00:42:52,790 --> 00:42:50,400 lament 969 00:42:54,870 --> 00:42:52,800 a kind of deep regret and how he let 970 00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:54,880 everybody down including his wife 971 00:42:58,630 --> 00:42:57,119 and he believed that he was the cause of 972 00:43:01,910 --> 00:42:58,640 one of his 973 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,920 life's one of her miscarriages and uh he 974 00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:03,839 really really believed that it was 975 00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:06,000 because of his irresponsibility 976 00:43:09,990 --> 00:43:07,760 and he was very emotional about it and 977 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:10,000 talking about it but 978 00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:12,800 he's gone uh we will really never see a 979 00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:14,400 player quite like him again 980 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,760 i don't think i mean you could talk 981 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:17,599 about steph curry and you could talk 982 00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:18,720 about lebron 983 00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:20,240 but there was something singularly 984 00:43:23,430 --> 00:43:21,760 unique to kobe bryant 985 00:43:25,829 --> 00:43:23,440 and the

00:45:32,160 much later in my career 1044 00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:34,400 but these were people i really looked up 1045 00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:35,359 to and 1046 00:45:39,190 --> 00:45:38,240 as you said you study and while you 1047 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:39,200 don't want to 1048 00:45:43,109 --> 00:45:41,280 completely ape somebody else and try to 1049 00:45:46,309 --> 00:45:43,119 be exactly the way they are 1050 00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:46,319 i don't think i could i i admired 1051 00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:48,560 a lot i admired my friend bob costas who 1052 00:45:53,349 --> 00:45:50,240 remains a close friend of mine 1053 00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:53,359 and how he he did interviews i never 1054 00:45:56,069 --> 00:45:55,119 ever thought i was the best interviewer 1055 00:45:57,670 --> 00:45:56,079 a lot of people think 1056 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:57,680 said i was i'm very flattered by that 1057 00:45:59,990 --> 00:45:59,280 sports illustrated was just doing a 1058 00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:00,000 thing today about 1059 00:46:03,030 --> 00:46:02,480 that they said i was and i'm flattered 1060 00:46:05,190 --> 00:46:03,040 by it 1061 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:05,200 i don't think i was the best i don't 1062 00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:07,200 think i was the luckiest either but i 1063 00:46:10,630 --> 00:46:09,280 do think i was somewhat of the more 1064 00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:10,640 opportunistic 1065 00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:13,760 interviewer in that when i got my show 1066 00:46:20,390 --> 00:46:16,880 there was one of one there wasn't 800 1067 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:20,400 000 uh with all due respect skype shows 1068 00:46:26,790 --> 00:46:23,760 zoom shows internet shows uh 1069 00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:26,800 you know podcasts i was one of one and 1070 00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:27,920 so every guest that 1071 00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:30,560 i got wanted to come on the show wanted 1072 00:46:36,550 --> 00:46:32,720 to be interviewed by me and i saw 1073 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:36,560 sort of dressed myself up in my career 1074 00:46:41,270 --> 00:46:39,440 by their fame and it worked and i did 1075 00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:41,280 five thousand interviews 1076 00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:44,240 and not everyone i'm super proud of some 1077 00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:45,680 you know or have sources of 1078 00:46:50,069 --> 00:46:47,200 embarrassments but 1079 00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:50,079 largely when you do 5 000 of anything 1080 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:52,160 you're going to screw up a lot and i did 1081 00:46:56,710 --> 00:46:55,200 and i learned i think now 1082 00:46:58,790 --> 00:46:56,720 i'm a better interviewer than i will 1083 00:47:02,230 --> 00:46:58,800 ever be in my life because of my 1084 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,240 my life experiences and um so 1085 00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:04,560 and answer your question lots of people 1086 00:47:07,990 --> 00:47:06,560 were inspiring to me 1087 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:08,000 but i think we're probably gonna end up 1088 00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:09,359 talking a little bit about larry king 1089 00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:11,359 who just passed away two days ago 1090 00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:14,480

your 1127 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:39,359 next question while someone's giving you 1128 00:48:44,069 --> 00:48:41,280 the answer 1129 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:44,079 and sure as hell if you if you are if 1130 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:45,359 you're thinking of your next question 1131 00:48:47,670 --> 00:48:46,559 while they're giving an answer it'll be 1132 00:48:49,589 --> 00:48:47,680 something like 1133 00:48:50,870 --> 00:48:49,599 you know and that's why i always felt 1134 00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:50,880 that it was too poor 1135 00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:53,760 to even play organized ball your next 1136 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:55,359 question is did you ever feel like maybe 1137 00:48:58,710 --> 00:48:56,880 you were too poor to play 1138 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:58,720 that's the crap that's going to happen 1139 00:49:01,589 --> 00:49:00,000 to you if you're not listening 1140 00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:01,599 and it happened to me a lot early in my 1141 00:49:05,349 --> 00:49:03,200 career you you get 1142 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:05,359 ready to have the the next question 1143 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:07,920 without listening to the previous answer 1144 00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:10,240 but i never wrote i never wrote 1145 00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:10,960 interview 1146 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:14,240 questions out um i did want to have to 1147 00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:16,400 remind my mind not to forget 1148 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:19,440 three or four anecdotes but always stay 1149 00:49:21,990 --> 00:49:20,640 engaged 1150 00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:22,000 that's more important i think one of the 1151 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:24,000 things that larry king did 1152 00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:26,240 very very well and larry is my friend 1153 00:49:30,069 --> 00:49:27,359 and you know 1154 00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:30,079 i i grieve with people who loved larry 1155 00:49:34,549 --> 00:49:31,200 and knew larry 1156 00:49:37,430 --> 00:49:34,559 uh he had eight marriages and seven 1157 00:49:39,190 --> 00:49:37,440 seven marriages eight whipped to two 1158 00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:39,200 eight total times and married 1159 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:40,720 one woman twice so it was eight 1160 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:42,960 marriages effectively 1161 00:49:47,589 --> 00:49:45,920 but he also lost his son and he lost his 1162 00:49:50,950 --> 00:49:47,599 daughter and he got a divorce 1163 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:50,960 all within a few weeks in this past year 1164 00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:53,280 so it was really kind of a sad tragic 1165 00:49:58,710 --> 00:49:54,960 ending for him 1166 00:49:59,430 --> 00:49:58,720 was a curious guy and i think if you ask 1167 00:50:01,270 --> 00:49:59,440 me 1168 00:50:02,950 --> 00:50:01,280 if a long form interview and i don't 1169 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:02,960 mean a sideline interview where you got 1170 00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:04,720 30 seconds to ask the coach what kind of 1171 00:50:06,950 --> 00:50:05,839 offense they're going to play in the 1172 00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:06,960 second half 1173 00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:10,000 i'm talking a long form interview you 1174 00:50:13,349 --> 00:50:12,480 you really better be curious and you 1175 00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:13,359 better 1176 00:50:17,270 --> 00:50:15,920 have some ideas of what you want to do 1177 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:17,280 tell the story 1178 00:50:22,870 --> 00:50:20,400 as best you can but remember that you 1179 00:50:24,309 --> 00:50:22,880 must stay engaged you must listen to 1180 00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:24,319 what and you know people say well 1181 00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:25,520 there's some bad interviews yeah there 1182 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:27,599 there are so called bad interviews 1183 00:50:34,069 --> 00:50:30,800 but i like to think that at my best 1184 00:50:37,109 --> 00:50:34,079 when things were working best for me my 1185 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,119 interview guest was someone who was 1186 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:39,119 enjoying the conversation 1187 00:50:43,349 --> 00:50:41,920 and was willing and to reveal something 1188 00:50:45,349 --> 00:50:43,359 of themselves 1189 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,359 that they wouldn't in a short sound bite 1190 00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:47,200 and that is what my friend 1191 00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:49,520 is missing in media these days we're 1192 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:51,280 looking at sound bites and we're not 1193 00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:52,800 looking at conversation an 1194 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:55,599 in-depth interviewing and not just 1195 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,440 sports by the way and everything 1196 00:51:01,030 --> 00:50:59,040 and i think we have short attention 1197 00:51:02,710 --> 00:51:01,040 spans now i think young people 1198 00:51:04,549 --> 00:51:02,720 and all kinds of people don't have the 1199 00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:04,559 patience to listen to an interview 1200 00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:06,800 but boy when larry king was at the top 1201 00:51:10,870

think a lot of people 1583 01:06:07,430 --> 01:06:06,880 in broadcasting are pretty narcissistic 1584 01:06:11,109 --> 01:06:07,440 too 1585 01:06:13,910 --> 01:06:11,119 i mean you know i i think

01:09:00,149 --> 01:08:59,040 wife of 47 years her name is ironically 1665 01:09:01,510 --> 01:09:00,159 billy williams 1666 01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:01,520 some baseball fans might remember 1667

to forget the 1680 01:09:29,430 --> 01:09:26,159 death threats 1681 01:09:29,990 --> 01:09:29,440 and the hate letters he saved 2 000 1682 01:09:32,309 --> 01:09:30,000 letters 1683 01:09:33,189 --> 01:09:32,319 all of which were hateful even though he 1684 01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:33,199 admitted 1685 01:09:37,669 --> 01:09:36,080 that most of the people who corresponded 1686 01:09:38,709 --> 01:09:37,679 with him or wrote letters to him or 1687 01:09:42,309 --> 01:09:38,719 phone calls 1688 01:09:45,510 --> 01:09:42,319 were supportive and fans 1689 01:09:47,269 --> 01:09:45,520 and loving and respectful he saved those 1690 01:09:50,709 --> 01:09:47,279 2000 letters because 1691 01:09:54,470 --> 01:09:50,719 as he put it i never want to forget 1692 01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:54,480 and you know he was a very very 1693 01:10:00,470 --> 01:09:57,520 graceful elegant but 1694 01:10:01,590 --> 01:10:00,480 humble man and i didn't forget him i 1695 01:10:03,830 --> 01:10:01,600 mean i had so many 1696 01:10:05,590 --> 01:10:03,840 so many great experiences it shaped my 1697 01:10:07,550 --> 01:10:05,600 life being an interviewer 1698 01:10:09,270 --> 01:10:07,560 um i don't think a particularly 1699 01:10:11,669 --> 01:10:09,280 sophisticated person 1700 01:10:12,470 --> 01:10:11,679 but i think it definitely introduced me 1701 01:10:15,110 --> 01:10:12,480 to people like 1702 01:10:16,870 --> 01:10:15,120 david halberstam a great pulitzer prize 1703 01:10:19,270 --> 01:10:16,880 writer and george will 1704 01:10:21,510 --> 01:10:19,280 and some of these other writers and 1705 01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:21,520 broadcasters and hearing their stories 1706 01:10:26,950 --> 01:10:24,960 even through osmosis i got 1707 01:10:28,550 --> 01:10:26,960 better and more worldly just through 1708 01:10:30,709 --> 01:10:28,560 that experience that's the thing that 1709 01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:30,719 i'll always be grateful for 1710 01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:33,760 how it raised my intellect it raised my 1711 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:35,760 consciousness it raised my awareness of 1712 01:10:39,030 --> 01:10:37,199 the world at large 1713 01:10:40,630 --> 01:10:39,040 just by interviewing and i think that 1714 01:10:42,229 --> 01:10:40,640 that's the greatest gift that you get 1715 01:10:45,910 --> 01:10:42,239 from interview you learn 1716 01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:45,920 about people how do you figure out 1717 01:10:51,750 --> 01:10:49,760 what zone not to go into 1718 01:10:54,310 --> 01:10:51,760 you know where the it could be a little 1719 01:10:55,270 --> 01:10:54,320 touchy maybe some anger and the next 1720 01:10:58,470 --> 01:10:55,280 thing you know 1721 01:10:59,750 --> 01:10:58,480 you may lose control well i had a couple 1722 01:11:01,510 -->

01:12:24,000 just two examples 1768 01:12:28,470 --> 01:12:27,120 of pointed questions without alienating 1769 01:12:30,790 --> 01:12:28,480 your guests to a point where they want 1770 01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:30,800 to walk off and i did have that too 1771 01:12:35,590 --> 01:12:33,360 did you when you're at that moment with 1772 01:12:37,990 --> 01:12:35,600 somebody like pete rose 1773 01:12:39,350 --> 01:12:38,000 uh do you have to brace yourself for you 1774 01:12:41,990 --> 01:12:39,360 might get punched 1775 01:12:43,830 --> 01:12:42,000 right have you just prepared not from

1785 01:13:03,189 --> 01:13:01,840 differently so i was never afraid of 1786 01:13:05,590 --> 01:13:03,199 somebody like pete rose 1787 01:13:07,189 --> 01:13:05,600 i was however a little more afraid

--> 01:13:18,880 with respect 1795 01:13:22,550 --> 01:13:21,520 even if i differed with that person um 1796 01:13:25,750 --> 01:13:22,560 and tried to 1797 01:13:28,390 --> 01:13:25,760 to i it

because they want to 1804 01:13:42,070 --> 01:13:41,040 themselves and i like to think at my 1805 01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:42,080 best 1806 01:13:46,630 --> 01:13:44,800 that's when those interviews really sang 1807 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:46,640 when they really flew flowed 1808 01:13:49,990 --> 01:13:48,960 was when people felt like sharing you 1809 01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:50,000 know when 1810 01:13:53,030 --> 01:13:51,600 bill walton came on the show talking 1811 01:13:54,709 --> 01:13:53,040 about his father was very emotional i 1812 01:13:55,830 --> 01:13:54,719 know people always say oh

01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:01,840 as them wanting to cry as them wanting 1817 01:14:05,270 --> 01:14:03,199 to reveal something something was 1818 01:14:06,790 --> 01:14:05,280 bubbling underneath their skin 1819 01:14:08,310 --> 01:14:06,800 and they wanted to get it out and i 1820 01:14:10,709 --> 01:14:08,320 happened to find a way 1821 01:14:13,270 --> 01:14:10,719 to have them talk about it dennis rodman 1822 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:13,280 famously cried on my show 1823 01:14:17,430 --> 01:14:14,800 cameron crowe the director of jerry 1824 01:14:20,390 --> 01:14:17,440 maguire saw it he wanted 1825 01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:20,400 he wanted for jerry maguire the movie he 1826 01:14:24,709 --> 01:14:23,120 wanted dennis rodman to play rod tidwell 1827 01:14:26,310 --> 01:14:24,719 people don't know that because they saw 1828 01:14:28,229 --> 01:14:26,320 my show but 1829 01:14:30,310 --> 01:14:28,239 uh they got thank god i get cuba gooding 1830 01:14:31,990 --> 01:14:30,320 jr who

5 000 interviews i think 1840 01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:51,440 we counted 20 people cried in 5 000 1841 01:14:55,110 --> 01:14:53,840 that's a very small percentage but and 1842 01:14:58,070 --> 01:14:55,120 this is important 1843 01:14:58,709 --> 01:14:58,080 it shows you what people remember and 1844 01:15:01,110 --> 01:14:58,719 the 1845 01:15:02,310 --> 01:15:01,120 irony here is especially in this day and 1846 01:15:04,790 --> 01:15:02,320 age with viral 1847 01:15:05,350 --> 01:15:04,800 media people would much rather see 1848 01:15:09,350 --> 01:15:05,360 somebody 1849 01:15:13,030 --> 01:15:09,360 weep on a show than just say something 1850 01:15:16,470 --> 01:15:13,040 you know factual or not emotionally 1851 01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:16,480 they want the emotion and that's that's 1852 01:15:19,910 --> 01:15:17,840 that's something that i've always 1853 01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:19,920 believed was always at the center 1854 01:15:23,590 --> 01:15:22,239 they want somebody to reveal something 1855 01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:23,600 of their soul 1856 01:15:28,070 --> 01:15:26,400 and not every show i could do that i i 1857 01:15:30,550 --> 01:15:28,080 don't pretend that i could 1858 01:15:32,310 --> 01:15:30,560 but when the best of my shows were when 1859 01:15:33,910 --> 01:15:32,320 somebody showed you something about them 1860 01:15:38,229 --> 01:15:33,920 you never knew before 1861 01:15:42,229 --> 01:15:38,239 how do you approach uh an athlete 1862 01:15:45,350 --> 01:15:42,239 versus an actor or a film director 1863 01:15:46,229 --> 01:15:45,360 is is is a kobe bryant interview the 1864 01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:46,239 same as an 1865 01:15:51,669 --> 01:15:50,000 elton john interview for you 1866 01:15:53,510 --> 01:15:51,679 well in the case of entertainment people 1867 01:15:54,310 --> 01:15:53,520 you're doing a sports show so you have 1868 01:15:57,590 --> 01:15:54,320 to sort of 1869 01:16:00,630 --> 01:15:57,600 i had jerry lewis on i had tom hanks on 1870 01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:00,640 i had elton john on um but 1871 01:16:05,669 --> 01:16:03,520 talking about sports so i really had to 1872 01:16:07,990 --> 01:16:05,679 stay within the confines 1873 01:16:09,510 --> 01:16:08,000 of sports because it was a sports show i 1874 01:16:11,990 --> 01:16:09,520 just couldn't sit and talk about 1875 01:16:12,550 --> 01:16:12,000 you know uh the bell boy with jerry 1876 01:16:15,430 --> 01:16:12,560 lewis 1877 01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:15,440 in the middle of a sports show with 1878 01:16:18,630 --> 01:16:16,880 elton john i couldn't 1879 01:16:20,630 --> 01:16:18,640 i couldn't talk about funeral for a 1880 01:16:21,590 --> 01:16:20,640 friend or your song or any of his hit 1881 01:16:23,830 --> 01:16:21,600 records 1882 01:16:24,630 --> 01:16:23,840 i want to know why he loves sports so 1883 01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:24,640 much 1884 01:16:35,830 --> 01:16:34,229 out of nowhere he wanted me to be 1885 01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:35,840 interviewed he wanted to be interviewed 1886 01:16:40,070 --> 01:16:37,840 by me to talk about the braves 1887 01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:40,080 because he was a huge baseball fan and 1888 01:16:44,709 --> 01:16:41,760 at one point he told me 1889 01:16:45,669 --> 01:16:44,719 he said you know when the braves are in 1890 01:16:48,709 --> 01:16:45,679 the playoffs 1891 01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:48,719 and i'm doing a show in a concert and 1892 01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:50,800 i have the game in my ear when i'm doing 1893 01:16:53,990 --> 01:16:52,159 the car i said what 1894 01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:54,000 you had the game in your ear on an 1895 01:16:58,310 --> 01:16:55,760 earpiece he goes oh yes 1896 01:16:59,590 --> 01:16:58,320 i can listen to my show and the ball 1897 01:17:02,070 --> 01:16:59,600 game 1898 01:17:03,830 --> 01:17:02,080 and if they win the braves win this was 1899 01:17:05,990 --> 01:17:03,840 back when they were in the playoffs but 1900 01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:06,000 back when they were really good he says 1901 01:17:10,390 --> 01:17:08,560 when they win i'm so happy for my braves 1902 01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:10,400 i give another two or three songs he 1903 01:17:14,950 --> 01:17:11,760 says but when they lose 1904 01:17:16,709 --> 01:17:14,960 i get so pissed off i cut the shows 1905 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:16,719 shorter and so i could go to the 1906 01:17:20,390 --> 01:17:18,480 dressing room and be pissed off i mean 1907 01:17:23,830 --> 01:17:20,400 he was a real baseball fan 1908 01:17:26,149 --> 01:17:23,840 springsteen too tom hanks was an 1909 01:17:27,030 --> 01:17:26,159 usher at the oakland a's games talked a 1910 01:17:29,510 --> 01:17:27,040 lot about 1911 01:17:30,470 --> 01:17:29,520 the a's and sports and baseball of 1912 01:17:31,990 --> 01:17:30,480 course it was in league 1913 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:32,000 league of their own that's why he was on 1914 01:17:35,189 --> 01:17:33,600 my show so 1915 01:17:36,709 --> 01:17:35,199 the questions are different for 1916 01:17:40,149 --> 01:17:36,719 entertainers but 1917 01:17:42,390 --> 01:17:40,159 in my case i was pretty much strictly 1918 01:17:43,830 --> 01:17:42,400 about sports i had to stay within a 1919 01:17:46,790 --> 01:17:43,840 confines of sports 1920 01:17:48,229 --> 01:17:46,800 as a conversation you uh you said 1921 01:17:50,950 --> 01:17:48,239 something this week 1922 01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:50,960 that stop me in my tracks and i i want 1923 01:17:56,470 --> 01:17:52,960 you to comment further on it 1924 01:17:56,870 --> 01:17:56,480 you said uh man i'm just gonna throw you 1925 01:18:00,310 --> 01:17:56,880 straight 1926 01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:00,320 under the bus roy you said he said 1927 01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:03,920 you know as a show host you interview 1928 01:18:08,630 --> 01:18:06,560 uh these guests and and these 1929 01:18:10,790 --> 01:18:08,640 entertainers these athletes 1930 01:18:12,149 --> 01:18:10,800 but you need to know that they are not 1931 01:18:14,790 --> 01:18:12,159 your friend and 1932 01:18:15,510 --> 01:18:14,800 of course yeah i'm paraphrasing here no 1933 01:18:18,950 --> 01:18:15,520 it's true 1934 01:18:21,510 --> 01:18:18,960 yeah it was one of the hardest um 1935 01:18:23,830 --> 01:18:21,520 realizations i came to as a young man 1936 01:18:25,189 --> 01:18:23,840 you know i i started this business at 21 1937 01:18:27,590 --> 01:18:25,199 years old 1938 01:18:30,229 --> 01:18:27,600 and i had the illusion because these 1939 01:18:32,229 --> 01:18:30,239 people would come on our show that 1940 01:18:34,310 --> 01:18:32,239 you know they liked me they want 1941 01:18:37,510 --> 01:18:34,320 considered me a friend 1942 01:18:38,229 --> 01:18:37,520 and i made some friends some very famous 1943 01:18:41,669 --> 01:18:38,239 friends 1944 01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:41,679 but not the i look at the word friend as 1945 01:18:45,110 --> 01:18:43,920 a very sacred word a true a true what a 1946 01:18:46,550 --> 01:18:45,120 true friend is 1947 01:18:48,149 --> 01:18:46,560 not an acquaintance these people were 1948 01:18:50,870 --> 01:18:48,159 more acquaintances 1949 01:18:51,830 --> 01:18:50,880 but when you don't have the show anymore 1950 01:18:53,590 --> 01:18:51,840 jimmy 1951 01:18:55,669 --> 01:18:53,600 and i didn't have i haven't had the show 1952 01:18:59,030 --> 01:18:55,679 for quite a while 1953 01:18:59,590 --> 01:18:59,040 they forget you and i i i wasn't hurt by 1954 01:19:01,990 --> 01:18:59,600 it but 1955 01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:02,000 it it was surprising to me because where 1956 01:19:04,630 --> 01:19:02,640 they used to 1957 01:19:06,310 --> 01:19:04,640 used to go out to dinner with them be on 1958 01:19:08,470 --> 01:19:06,320 a first name basis with them i'm going 1959 01:19:09,669 --> 01:19:08,480 to give you any names but then you see 1960 01:19:11,270 --> 01:19:09,679 them and you haven't seen them for five 1961 01:19:13,750 --> 01:19:11,280 years they don't know your name 1962 01:19:15,430 --> 01:19:13,760 in fact the friendship they had was the 1963 01:19:18,229 --> 01:19:15,440 friendship with the show 1964 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:18,239 they came on the show to plug them plug 1965 01:19:22,550 --> 01:19:19,280 their movie 1966 01:19:22,950 --> 01:19:22,560 plug their you know book whatever what 1967 01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:22,960 they 1968 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:27,440 the biggest mistake people make in 1969 01:19:32,149 --> 01:19:29,040 broadcasting is think 1970 01:19:33,430 --> 01:19:32,159 that because you have a show and well 1971 01:19:34,790 --> 01:19:33,440 you're not even aware of the fact that 1972 01:19:35,669 --> 01:19:34,800 the show is really what drives 1973 01:19:38,550 --> 01:19:35,679 everything 1974 01:19:39,910 --> 01:19:38,560 but if you if you if you were just a guy 1975 01:19:40,550 --> 01:19:39,920 walking down the street with these 1976 01:19:42,070 --> 01:19:40,560 people they 1977 01:19:44,229 --> 01:19:42,080 probably wouldn't give you the time of 1978 01:19:47,189 --> 01:19:44,239 day but because you had a show 1979 01:19:48,390 --> 01:19:47,199 you were currency to them and you meant 1980 01:19:51,590 --> 01:19:48,400 something to them 1981 01:19:54,229 --> 01:19:51,600 again i had some friends and i still do 1982 01:19:55,910 --> 01:19:54,239 i in sports some very big names i 1983 01:19:56,470 --> 01:19:55,920 consider bill walton a very good friend 1984 01:19:58,070 --> 01:19:56,480 i think 1985 01:20:00,790 --> 01:19:58,080 howie long is a good friend terry 1986 01:20:03,590 --> 01:20:00,800 bradshaw all these are great people 1987 01:20:05,910 --> 01:20:03,600 nice people would do something for me if 1988 01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:05,920 it and i would do something for them 1989 01:20:11,110 --> 01:20:09,040 but the biggest mistake you can make is 1990 01:20:13,270 --> 01:20:11,120 thinking that these people 1991 01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:13,280 most people who come on your show really 1992 01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:14,159 really 1993 01:20:18,470 --> 01:20:17,120 think that you're their friend and i had 1994 01:20:21,669 --> 01:20:18,480 an expression 1995 01:20:24,550 --> 01:20:21,679 all who smile are not your friend 1996 01:20:25,830 --> 01:20:24,560 in life and it was hard as a kid a young 1997 01:20:29,110 --> 01:20:25,840 man too 1998 01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:29,120 to grasp that i always assumed that 1999 01:20:33,270 --> 01:20:31,440 these people would be my friends forever 2000 01:20:35,590 --> 01:20:33,280 and i realized that all the only they 2001 01:20:37,110 --> 01:20:35,600 were loved with was themselves 2002 01:20:39,590 --> 01:20:37,120 and being on the show to plug their 2003 01:20:41,350 --> 01:20:39,600 product when 2004 01:20:42,629 --> 01:20:41,360 when you come to that kind of 2005 01:20:46,950 --> 01:20:42,639 realization 2006 01:20:50,310 --> 01:20:49,270 right yeah yeah of course it is and you 2007 01:20:52,070 --> 01:20:50,320 know by the way 2008 01:20:53,669 --> 01:20:52,080 it doesn't even have to be connected to 2009 01:20:57,830 --> 01:20:53,679 a broadcast 2010 01:21:00,629 --> 01:20:57,840 um in relationships sometimes people 2011 01:21:01,189 --> 01:21:00,639 more than sometimes have frequently you 2012 01:21:03,110 --> 01:21:01,199 know 2013 01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:03,120 relationships are built on what can you 2014 01:21:07,430 --> 01:21:04,400 give to me 2015 01:21:09,669 --> 01:21:07,440 either monetarily or something 2016 01:21:11,990 --> 01:21:09,679 that makes you more special than some 2017 01:21:13,590 --> 01:21:12,000 other guy down the street 2018 01:21:15,750 --> 01:21:13,600 i don't mean to be cynical about love 2019 01:21:17,669 --> 01:21:15,760 but in many cases you know we hear the 2020 01:21:19,189 --> 01:21:17,679 phrase gold diggers there's gold diggers 2021 01:21:21,669 --> 01:21:19,199 male and female 2022 01:21:23,350 --> 01:21:21,679 um athletes are wary of that and it 2023 01:21:28,229 --> 01:21:23,360 works both ways 2024 01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:28,239 but you know i think human nature is 2025 01:21:32,550 --> 01:21:31,040 that most people are looking what's the 2026 01:21:35,669 --> 01:21:32,560 upside of me becoming 2027 01:21:36,149 --> 01:21:35,679 friends or lover with this person uh 2028 01:21:42,709 --> 01:21:36,159 what 2029 01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:42,719 and i think by the way it's also i think 2030 01:21:47,110 --> 01:21:44,159 a healthy thing 2031 01:21:47,750 --> 01:21:47,120 to come to that realization that just 2032 01:21:50,229 --> 01:21:47,760 because 2033 01:21:51,030 --> 01:21:50,239 that you have a show you're not that 2034 01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:51,040 special 2035 01:21:55,910 --> 01:21:54,080 someone's gonna 2036 01:21:58,229 --> 01:21:55,920 some you know ray charles i interviewed 2037 01:22:00,149 --> 01:21:58,239 him one time i still remember this line 2038 01:22:02,229 --> 01:22:00,159 i said what was the hardest 2039 01:22:03,510 --> 01:22:02,239 a realization you have come to in your 2040 01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:03,520 life what was the hardest 2041 01:22:06,790 --> 01:22:06,080 lesson he says the hardest lesson in 2042 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:06,800 life 2043 01:22:11,110 --> 01:22:09,040 was the realization that someone's there 2044 01:22:13,110 --> 01:22:11,120 to take your place 2045 01:22:15,030 --> 01:22:13,120 and i thought that maybe you're ray 2046 01:22:15,669 --> 01:22:15,040 charles man no one's gonna ever he says 2047

01:23:43,110 --> 01:23:41,760 people like that i had a guy i'm not 2087 01:23:46,229 --> 01:23:43,120 going to give me a name but 2088 01:23:47,189 --> 01:23:46,239 i was i was co-hosting with this

and that kind of that's kind of true but 2101 01:24:15,669 --> 01:24:13,840 you also can't be paranoid too 2102 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:15,679 you can't be in a position in life where 2103 01:24:19,189

01:24:23,760 with your your neck cranked behind you 2107 01:24:25,990 --> 01:24:25,440 because that's no way to walk in your 2108 01:24:29,110 --> 01:24:26,000 life 2109 01:24:31,910 --> 01:24:29,120

about uh the human 2116 01:24:44,629 --> 01:24:42,800 condition 2117 01:24:47,830 --> 01:24:44,639 just through your experiences we are the 2118 01:24:49,750 --> 01:24:47,840 sum of the parts of people 2119 01:24:51,030 --> 01:24:49,760 who've come into our lives and by the 2120 01:24:53,430 --> 01:24:51,040 way that's that's the 2121 01:24:55,270 --> 01:24:53,440 the other thing i want to

divide in 2125 01:25:02,310 --> 01:25:00,239 this country 2126 01:25:04,790 --> 01:25:02,320 because we have forgotten how to talk to 2127 01:25:07,830 --> 01:25:04,800 people we have forgotten how to 2128 01:25:08,310 --> 01:25:07,840 communicate and to find some commonality 2129 01:25:12,950 --> 01:25:08,320 and to 2130 01:25:16,550 --> 01:25:12,960 but most of all we've forgotten how 2131 01:25:19,030 --> 01:25:16,560 short life is man and how we are not 2132 01:25:20,870 --> 01:25:19,040 guaranteed anything kobe bryant would 2133 01:25:24,070 --> 01:25:20,880 love to be here today

01:46:21,750 --> 01:46:19,760 a a positive 2689 01:46:24,149 --> 01:46:21,760 in the respect of talking to people 2690 01:46:27,109 --> 01:46:24,159 again to see their face again 2691 01:46:27,430 -->

a plus we might have a chance 2710 01:47:05,030 --> 01:47:02,639 to communicate better again 2711 01:47:06,470 --> 01:47:05,040 as people which i think would be a great 2712 01:47:08,070 --> 01:47:06,480 a really good thing 2713 01:47:09,669 --> 01:47:08,080 and but i do think things are going to 2714 01:47:10,149 --> 01:47:09,679 be dramatically changed and i tell you 2715 01:47:14,070 --> 01:47:10,159 that 2716 01:47:16,390 --> 01:47:14,080 are people who are 2717 01:47:18,470 --> 01:47:16,400 landlords i don't mean just i don't mean 2718 01:47:21,189 --> 01:47:18,480 just

not going to be a big 2722 01:47:27,990 --> 01:47:26,320 demand to 2723 01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:28,000 to buy a building or construct a 2724 01:47:31,189 --> 01:47:29,440 building that's the 2725 01:47:32,470 --> 01:47:31,199 that's the people who should really be 2726 01:47:35,590 --> 01:47:32,480 worried i 2727 01:47:39,189 --> 01:47:35,600 you know i think about ventura boulevard 2728

heard of sam cook 2856 01:52:13,990 --> 01:52:13,440 but this guy did such a great job as sam 2857 01:52:16,149 --> 01:52:14,000 cook 2858 01:52:17,189 --> 01:52:16,159 i think he stole the movie i

2874 01:52:49,669 --> 01:52:46,320 serious pipes 2875 01:52:53,270 --> 01:52:49,679 thank you when when did you find out 2876 01:52:55,189 --> 01:52:53,280 that you could sing were you five six 2877

01:53:03,109 --> 01:53:02,080 always hid behind the impressions i hid 2881 01:53:07,350 --> 01:53:03,119 behind 2882 01:53:09,750 --> 01:53:07,360 look at me i'm as helpless 2883 01:53:11,350 --> 01:53:09,760 you know johnny mathis i could sing like 2884 01:53:13,109 --> 01:53:11,360 johnny mathis but that way i wouldn't 2885 01:53:14,629 --> 01:53:13,119 have to show my real voice so i can make 2886 01:53:16,550 --> 01:53:14,639 people laugh and applaud 2887 01:53:19,109 --> 01:53:16,560 but meanwhile i was singing then i would 2888 01:53:21,189 --> 01:53:19,119 do neil diamond and i would do 2889 01:53:22,790 --> 01:53:21,199 bits with the bee gees and i'd do gordon 2890 01:53:25,510 --> 01:53:22,800 lightfoot and i'd sing 2891 01:53:25,990 --> 01:53:25,520 like smokey robinson all his impressions 2892 01:53:27,990 --> 01:53:26,000 but it was 2893 01:53:29,030 --> 01:53:28,000 done for a reason so i wouldn't have to 2894 01:53:30,629 --> 01:53:29,040 show my real voice 2895 01:53:32,149 --> 01:53:30,639 but at the end of the show i sing in my 2896 01:53:32,790 --> 01:53:32,159 real voice whatever you want to call 2897 01:53:35,910 --> 01:53:32,800 real 2898 01:53:39,669 --> 01:53:35,920 right and um it's it's such 2899 01:53:41,910 --> 01:53:39,679 a visceral indescribable feeling to sing 2900 01:53:43,430 --> 01:53:41,920 if you're singing well and you're you're 2901 01:53:45,589 --> 01:53:43,440 in good voice 2902 01:53:46,790 --> 01:53:45,599 i mean i i understand why people like 2903 01:53:49,270 --> 01:53:46,800 josh groban and 2904 01:53:50,629 --> 01:53:49,280 michael buble and all these people 2905 01:53:52,070 --> 01:53:50,639 beyonce every one of these 2906 01:53:53,510 --> 01:53:52,080 they would rather sing than just about 2907 01:53:54,310 --> 01:53:53,520 anything else in their lives i 2908 01:53:56,629 --> 01:53:54,320 understand 2909 01:53:57,430 --> 01:53:56,639 it comes back from the very most primal 2910 01:54:00,229 --> 01:53:57,440 place 2911 01:54:01,510 --> 01:54:00,239 in our souls to sing to utter something 2912 01:54:04,550 --> 01:54:01,520 musical man 2913 01:54:06,070 --> 01:54:04,560 and uh i'm just lucky that i had the 2914 01:54:08,790 --> 01:54:06,080 sports vehicle to get me 2915 01:54:10,229 --> 01:54:08,800 out on a stage that i could sing so in a 2916 01:54:11,990 --> 01:54:10,239 way it was in reverse 2917 01:54:14,229 --> 01:54:12,000 i had to have the sports career first to 2918 01:54:16,229 --> 01:54:14,239 give me some credibility to get on stage 2919 01:54:18,310 --> 01:54:16,239 and then from that point it's all up to 2920 01:54:19,750 --> 01:54:18,320 me now this is what's really funny i'm 2921 01:54:20,390 --> 01:54:19,760 just going to say this to the audience 2922 01:54:23,910 --> 01:54:20,400 you don't have 2923 01:54:27,270 --> 01:54:23,920 but 2924 01:54:27,910 --> 01:54:27,280 listening to you speak and to hear me 2925 01:54:30,790 --> 01:54:27,920 say 2926 01:54:32,149 --> 01:54:30,800 you do barry gibb better than barry gibb 2927 01:54:35,669 --> 01:54:32,159 right 2928 01:54:39,030 --> 01:54:35,679 nobody would buy into that did you see 2929 01:54:40,950 --> 01:54:39,040 the new beaches documentary yesterday 2930 01:54:42,629 --> 01:54:40,960 yes i did jimmy and not only that how 2931 01:54:45,669 --> 01:54:42,639 about this the gibbs 2932 01:54:47,109 --> 01:54:45,679 barry gibb lived across the street from 2933 01:54:49,589 --> 01:54:47,119 me in miami 2934 01:54:50,390 --> 01:54:49,599 and my mother my late mother used to say 2935 01:54:52,629 --> 01:54:50,400 honey 2936 01:54:54,790 --> 01:54:52,639 there are those three lovely ghibi boys 2937 01:54:57,589 --> 01:54:54,800 that she called them the ghibi boys 2938 01:54:58,950 --> 01:54:57,599 i said mom those are the bee gees she 2939 01:55:00,390 --> 01:54:58,960 goes well with that they're they're 2940 01:55:01,830 --> 01:55:00,400 you know they're from england i said 2941 01:55:03,270 --> 01:55:01,840 well actually they're australian but 2942 01:55:05,350 --> 01:55:03,280 they were drew from england 2943 01:55:06,950 --> 01:55:05,360 she goes well he i was walking like the 2944 01:55:07,750 --> 01:55:06,960 dog the other day and i ran into the 2945 01:55:11,270 --> 01:55:07,760 ghibi and 2946 01:55:13,830 --> 01:55:11,280 his name isn't geby it's barry gibb 2947 01:55:15,669 --> 01:55:13,840 but i did see the documentary it was 2948 01:55:17,589 --> 01:55:15,679 very touching to me 2949 01:55:18,870 --> 01:55:17,599 i think that people really had a 2950 01:55:21,990 --> 01:55:18,880 tendency to 2951 01:55:24,470 --> 01:55:22,000 underrate the bee gees because they were 2952 01:55:26,390 --> 01:55:24,480 dismissed as this disco band which they 2953 01:55:27,430 --> 01:55:26,400 never really were a disco but they had 2954 01:55:30,629 --> 01:55:27,440 one 2955 01:55:32,310 --> 01:55:30,639 period in their careers where they used 2956 01:55:33,669 --> 01:55:32,320 some quota in quote discord because the 2957 01:55:34,550 --> 01:55:33,679 saturday night fever which ended up 2958 01:55:36,390 --> 01:55:34,560 becoming 2959 01:55:37,830 --> 01:55:36,400 one of the greatest selling records i 2960 01:55:39,350 --> 01:55:37,840 think still is the greatest selling 2961 01:55:41,669 --> 01:55:39,360 soundtrack of all time 2962 01:55:42,950 --> 01:55:41,679 but people have had a tendency to 2963 01:55:45,109 --> 01:55:42,960 dismiss them 2964 01:55:47,430 --> 01:55:45,119 they were as big or bigger than just 2965 01:55:49,109 --> 01:55:47,440 about any band in the history of rock 2966 01:55:51,510 --> 01:55:49,119 and roll or pop music 2967 01:55:52,790 --> 01:55:51,520 and barry deserves a lot of credit i 2968 01:55:55,109 --> 01:55:52,800 thought it was a very moving 2969 01:55:57,430 --> 01:55:55,119 and inspiring documentary i have 2970 01:55:58,310 --> 01:55:57,440 tremendous respect for them that

01:57:14,390 --> 01:57:12,320 they did it as a demo and then finally 3005 01:57:16,149 --> 01:57:14,400 stigwood who was their manager said 3006 01:57:17,430 --> 01:57:16,159 you're not giving this to

01:57:31,109 --> 01:57:29,520 they were spectacular vocalists and they 3014 01:57:34,229 --> 01:57:31,119 had great arrangements 3015 01:57:36,629 --> 01:57:34,239 and that is one of the truly great songs 3016 01:57:37,990 --> 01:57:36,639 the second half in my opinion pop songs 3017 01:57:41,030 --> 01:57:38,000 of the second half of the 20th 3018 01:57:43,270 --> 01:57:41,040 century truly a

02:03:54,550 --> 02:03:53,679 over the last couple of years talk about 3164 02:03:58,149 --> 02:03:54,560 ufos 3165 02:04:00,310 --> 02:03:58,159 every single day what 3166 02:04:01,350 -->

pass i used to think 3173 02:04:17,430 --> 02:04:12,960 that 3174 02:04:19,910 --> 02:04:17,440 interplanetary visits were 3175 02:04:21,030 --> 02:04:19,920 you know commandeered the people 3176 02:04:22,950 --> 02:04:21,040 navigating those 3177 02:04:24,149 --> 02:04:22,960 interplanetary visits to this country 3178 02:04:25,669 --> 02:04:24,159 this planet 3179 02:04:27,990 -->

02:04:34,470 --> 02:04:31,679 they're looking anymore 3183 02:04:35,990 --> 02:04:34,480 if they're coming here god knows we 3184 02:04:37,589 --> 02:04:36,000 don't have a whole lot of intelligent 3185 02:04:39,510 --> 02:04:37,599 life on this planet 3186 02:04:41,109 --> 02:04:39,520 i don't know the answer jimmy i mean i 3187 02:04:42,790 --> 02:04:41,119 just basically 3188 02:04:45,189 --> 02:04:42,800 i think people are fascinated with 3189 02:04:48,069 --> 02:04:45,199 things that are unexplainable 3190 02:04:48,709 --> 02:04:48,079 uh i'm not an occult person i am not a 3191 02:04:51,030 --> 02:04:48,719 sci-fi 3192 02:04:52,709 --> 02:04:51,040 person per se i have things in my life 3193 02:04:56,310 --> 02:04:52,719 that have happened that were 3194 02:04:59,510 --> 02:04:56,320 uh unexplainable but i can say this 3195 02:05:01,030 --> 02:04:59,520 that people are endlessly fascinated 3196 02:05:03,910 --> 02:05:01,040 with the unexplainable 3197 02:05:05,350 --> 02:05:03,920 and your opinion is as valid as somebody 3198 02:05:09,189 --> 02:05:05,360 else's opinion about it 3199 02:05:11,510 --> 02:05:09,199 and i i think there's always room for 3200 02:05:12,629 --> 02:05:11,520 the idea that something else is better 3201 02:05:15,910 --> 02:05:12,639 out somewhere 3202 02:05:18,149 --> 02:05:15,920 or different at least and that maybe 3203 02:05:20,950 --> 02:05:18,159 someday somehow we're gonna connect i 3204 02:05:23,270 --> 02:05:20,960 mean my all-time favorite movie is e.t 3205 02:05:24,149 --> 02:05:23,280 my favorite movie uh i think close 3206 02:05:26,149 --> 02:05:24,159 encounters if 3207 02:05:27,189 --> 02:05:26,159 you're so amazing that you know that 3208 02:05:29,430 --> 02:05:27,199 spielberg 3209 02:05:31,669 --> 02:05:29,440 close encounters third kind and e.t are 3210 02:05:34,149 --> 02:05:31,679 two of my favorite movies 3211 02:05:34,950 --> 02:05:34,159 and it was about a man's need to somehow 3212 02:05:36,870 --> 02:05:34,960 connect in this 3213 02:05:38,550 --> 02:05:36,880 in the earlier movie of course et was a 3214 02:05:41,030 --> 02:05:38,560 little boy's need to connect 3215 02:05:42,550 --> 02:05:41,040 i actually think i could relate to the 3216 02:05:45,589 --> 02:05:42,560 e.t when i'm talking about my 3217 02:05:47,510 --> 02:05:45,599 my lab my dog i understood 3218 02:05:49,589 --> 02:05:47,520 that what what they were trying to say 3219 02:05:51,750 --> 02:05:49,599 in that movie everybody needs a little 3220 02:05:52,870 --> 02:05:51,760 uh someone in the dark so to speak to 3221 02:05:55,189 --> 02:05:52,880 come to come 3222 02:05:57,350 --> 02:05:55,199 and reach out to you uh not to get too 3223 02:06:00,149 --> 02:05:57,360 corny but that's sort of how i feel 3224 02:06:02,069 --> 02:06:00,159 but i do think the ex inexplicable and 3225 02:06:04,790 --> 02:06:02,079 the unexplainable 3226 02:06:05,189 --> 02:06:04,800 are two things that fascinate fascinate 3227 02:06:07,830 --> 02:06:05,199 people 3228 02:06:08,870 --> 02:06:07,840 there's an endless audience for it and 3229 02:06:10,629 --> 02:06:08,880 uh that's what 3230 02:06:12,229 --> 02:06:10,639 i think television is always interested 3231 02:06:13,910 --> 02:06:12,239 in and broadcasting in general they're 3232 02:06:16,550 --> 02:06:13,920 interested in audiences 3233 02:06:17,669 --> 02:06:16,560 all coming together because they want to 3234 02:06:19,830 --> 02:06:17,679 to connect 3235 02:06:20,950 --> 02:06:19,840 some kind of way with something they 3236 02:06:25,350 --> 02:06:20,960 can't explain 3237 02:06:29,350 --> 02:06:25,360 do you think um after covid 3238 02:06:30,950 --> 02:06:29,360 and the the year that the entire world 3239 02:06:32,069

02:06:55,760 we've never seen happen before 3249 02:06:59,589 --> 02:06:57,440 not just in this country but all over 3250 02:07:02,069 --> 02:06:59,599 the world 3251 02:07:03,270 --> 02:07:02,079 people people are looking for solutions 3252 02:07:06,709 --> 02:07:03,280 they're looking for 3253 02:07:09,589 --> 02:07:06,719 some kind of respite some kind of 3254 02:07:11,350 --> 02:07:09,599 survival something that will help them 3255 02:07:13,109 --> 02:07:11,360 cope better 3256 02:07:15,270 --> 02:07:13,119 but i also think that anything could 3257 02:07:16,229 --> 02:07:15,280 happen i think both bad and good i think 3258 02:07:18,149 --> 02:07:16,239 we've seen a lot of 3259 02:07:20,229 --> 02:07:18,159 frightening things happen in recent 3260 02:07:22,069 --> 02:07:20,239 weeks in this country but it's been 3261 02:07:25,430 --> 02:07:22,079 going on all over this planet for 3262 02:07:28,229 --> 02:07:25,440 hundreds and hundreds of years um 3263 02:07:30,149 --> 02:07:28,239 you know i that the sad thing to me 3264 02:07:32,790 --> 02:07:30,159 about the covet is 3265 02:07:34,310 --> 02:07:32,800 there's so many sad things but one of 3266 02:07:36,310 --> 02:07:34,320 the saddest things is 3267 02:07:37,910 --> 02:07:36,320 you would i used to always say well it's 3268 02:07:39,189 --> 02:07:37,920 going to take a tragedy to bring us 3269 02:07:41,990 --> 02:07:39,199 together 3270 02:07:44,229 --> 02:07:42,000 well this is a tragedy and we're more 3271 02:07:46,069 --> 02:07:44,239 split apart than we've ever been 3272 02:07:47,750 --> 02:07:46,079 that's the the hardest thing for me to 3273 02:07:50,310 --> 02:07:47,760 accept the fact that 3274 02:07:51,990 --> 02:07:50,320 in the the hardest times this this 3275 02:07:53,910 --> 02:07:52,000 country this country of ours 3276 02:07:55,430 --> 02:07:53,920 we came together in the toughest times 3277 02:07:56,550 --> 02:07:55,440 and so did the planet you know we all 3278 02:07:58,229 --> 02:07:56,560 pitched in 3279 02:08:00,390 --> 02:07:58,239 now it's every man for himself where it 3280 02:08:01,990 --> 02:08:00,400 seems like it and we're as i said before 3281 02:08:05,430 --> 02:08:02,000 we're so divided 3282 02:08:07,109 --> 02:08:05,440 we're so polarized that instead of us 3283 02:08:09,430 --> 02:08:07,119 all coming together for the greater good 3284 02:08:11,430 --> 02:08:09,440 and trying to help our neighbor out 3285 02:08:13,189 --> 02:08:11,440 and try to be there and there's some 3286 02:08:15,030 --> 02:08:13,199 wonderful wonderful stories i don't mean 3287 02:08:17,750 --> 02:08:15,040 to paint a picture of just 3288 02:08:19,350 --> 02:08:17,760 negativity and you know disdain for the 3289 02:08:21,910 --> 02:08:19,360 human race but there's some 3290 02:08:23,270 --> 02:08:21,920 a lot of disappointment too in what 3291 02:08:26,310 --> 02:08:23,280 we've become and 3292 02:08:27,109 --> 02:08:26,320 where we're going and um again i don't i 3293 02:08:28,709 --> 02:08:27,119 don't know if that 3294 02:08:31,109 --> 02:08:28,719 if it's if it's not coveted it's going 3295 02:08:31,990 --> 02:08:31,119 to be the better what if a meteor hit 3296 02:08:33,750 --> 02:08:32,000 this planet 3297 02:08:36,069 --> 02:08:33,760 would we come together then or would we 3298 02:08:39,189 --> 02:08:36,079 find a reason to hate each other again 3299 02:08:43,270 --> 02:08:39,199 i i don't know i i'm not smart enough 3300 02:08:44,390 --> 02:08:43,280 to to uh to come up with a solution or 3301 02:08:47,030 --> 02:08:44,400 an answer but i 3302 02:08:47,990 --> 02:08:47,040 i really had hoped that in the toughest 3303 02:08:51,430 --> 02:08:48,000 of times 3304 02:08:52,950 --> 02:08:51,440 people 3305 02:08:55,030 --> 02:08:52,960 first america and then all over the 3306 02:08:58,069 --> 02:08:55,040 planet we would find a way 3307 02:09:00,229 --> 02:08:58,079 to get closer to each other and to to 3308 02:09:01,750 --> 02:09:00,239 love each other better and the opposite 3309 02:09:04,310 --> 02:09:01,760 seems to be happening and it's 3310 02:09:05,350 --> 02:09:04,320 it's perplexing to me yeah i can tell 3311 02:09:08,709 --> 02:09:05,360 you this 3312 02:09:11,750 --> 02:09:08,719 that after the pandemic roy if if a 3313 02:09:13,270 --> 02:09:11,760 flying saucer landed on the 405 during 3314 02:09:16,790 --> 02:09:13,280 rush hour 3315 02:09:20,870 --> 02:09:19,510 that's possibly true yeah they will come 3316 02:09:25,189 --> 02:09:20,880 together 3317 02:09:28,229 --> 02:09:27,589 and that i think i've seen crazier 3318 02:09:31,830 --> 02:09:28,239 things like 3319 02:09:32,149 --> 02:09:31,840 than that in la anyway but uh well and 3320 02:09:34,310 --> 02:09:32,159 but 3321 02:09:35,350 --> 02:09:34,320 you you bring up a really good point 3322 02:09:38,870 --> 02:09:35,360 isn't this an 3323 02:09:42,229 --> 02:09:38,880 opportunity for all of us to 3324 02:09:43,910 --> 02:09:42,239 know now that we can only help each 3325 02:09:46,149 --> 02:09:43,920 other that's the only way 3326 02:09:47,189 --> 02:09:46,159 forward if there is a bright spot like 3327 02:09:50,229 --> 02:09:47,199 you said 3328 02:09:53,350 --> 02:09:50,239 maybe it's just that that 3329 02:09:57,430 --> 02:09:53,360 we know now the only way forward is 3330 02:09:59,910 --> 02:09:57,440 togetherness not hating your neighbor 3331 02:10:00,950 --> 02:09:59,920 it's so true and it seems so simple 3332 02:10:04,149 --> 02:10:00,960 jimmy but it's 3333 02:10:06,550 --> 02:10:04,159 it's so elusive and it's so 3334 02:10:07,189 --> 02:10:06,560 we we so we evade each other and of 3335 02:10:09,669 --> 02:10:07,199 course 3336 02:10:11,510 --> 02:10:09,679 with the virus now we're paranoid of 3337 02:10:12,870 --> 02:10:11,520 each other we're paranoid that somebody 3338 02:10:15,270 --> 02:10:12,880 walking down the street with a mask 3339 02:10:15,510 --> 02:10:15,280 without a mask uh believes he entitled 3340 02:10:17,589 --> 02:10:15,520 to 3341 02:10:19,830 --> 02:10:17,599 not wear a mask believes he's she she 3342 02:10:23,669 --> 02:10:19,840 has she or he has to wear the 3343 02:10:26,709 --> 02:10:23,679 whatever it is there's we we've driven a 3344 02:10:29,669 --> 02:10:26,719 uh you know a pile 3345 02:10:31,350 --> 02:10:29,679 in half because we we're divided over 3346 02:10:33,430 --> 02:10:31,360 even the most simple things 3347 02:10:34,550 --> 02:10:33,440 caring about each other taking but you 3348 02:10:37,030 -->

very lucky americans 3352 02:10:43,669 --> 02:10:41,679 that got an early vaccine 3353 02:10:45,990 --> 02:10:43,679 and as i said to you before the woman 3354 02:10:48,709 --> 02:10:46,000 said i

medical people 3363 02:11:11,030 --> 02:11:08,719 and the people who run food banks and 3364 02:11:11,830 --> 02:11:11,040 you know the scientists and the medical 3365 02:11:15,189 --> 02:11:11,840 people 3366 02:11:19,189 --> 02:11:15,199 uh looking for new ideas new cures 3367 02:11:21,430 --> 02:11:19,199 maybe uh maybe even eradicate pandemics 3368 02:11:23,830 --> 02:11:21,440 in general kind of going forward 3369 02:11:26,229 --> 02:11:23,840 so i try to keep positive but i'll tell 3370 02:11:27,030 --> 02:11:26,239 you if we don't come together and find a 3371 02:11:30,470 --> 02:11:27,040 way 3372 02:11:33,669 --> 02:11:30,480 there's that is that that great 3373 02:11:34,870 --> 02:11:33,679 scene in uh on any given sunday with al 3374 02:11:37,109 --> 02:11:34,880 pacino 3375 02:11:37,990 --> 02:11:37,119 and he says you know gentlemen i know if 3376 02:11:41,990 --> 02:11:38,000 you remember the movie 3377 02:11:45,189 --> 02:11:42,000 i do if we don't come together as a team 3378 02:11:47,030 --> 02:11:45,199 we are going to die as individuals and i 3379 02:11:47,669 --> 02:11:47,040 think it's a great metaphor for where we 3380 02:11:50,629 --> 02:11:47,679 are 3381 02:11:51,109 --> 02:11:50,639 in our lives we have to find and seek 3382 02:11:53,990 --> 02:11:51,119 oldest 3383 02:11:56,149 --> 02:11:54,000 corniest cliche that sports it's a team 3384 02:11:58,790 --> 02:11:56,159 game but guess what so is life 3385 02:12:01,109 --> 02:11:58,800 and if we don't come together as a team 3386 02:12:04,149 --> 02:12:01,119 we will die as individuals 3387 02:12:05,910 --> 02:12:04,159 now as a member of the media and 3388 02:12:07,910 --> 02:12:05,920 this is a great way to close out this 3389 02:12:09,030 --> 02:12:07,920 last segment and before we get there roy 3390 02:12:10,870 --> 02:12:09,040 thank you so much 3391 02:12:13,270 --> 02:12:10,880 uh it's been a great conversation 3392 02:12:16,550 --> 02:12:13,280 tonight but as a member of 3393 02:12:18,069 --> 02:12:16,560 the media a central figure of the media 3394 02:12:21,669 --> 02:12:18,079 for so long 3395 02:12:24,069 --> 02:12:21,679 do you feel that the media 3396 02:12:26,390 --> 02:12:24,079 bears some responsibility in the 3397 02:12:29,510 --> 02:12:26,400 divisiveness where we are today 3398 02:12:34,229 --> 02:12:29,520 absolutely absolutely 3399 02:12:37,270 --> 02:12:34,239 um the one thing though 3400 02:12:40,229 --> 02:12:37,280 that is really scaring me is 3401 02:12:42,390 --> 02:12:40,239 in many cases the truth doesn't matter 3402 02:12:43,350 --> 02:12:42,400 facts don't matter what if truth doesn't 3403 02:12:46,709 --> 02:12:43,360 matter 3404 02:12:50,069 --> 02:12:46,719 fall apart 3405 02:12:51,510 --> 02:12:50,079 if we can't be agree on on what what is 3406 02:12:52,470 --> 02:12:51,520 true and i'm not again i'm not going to 3407 02:12:54,310 --> 02:12:52,480 get into politics 3408 02:12:55,830 --> 02:12:54,320 that's not what i do i'm not on 3409 02:12:58,950 --> 02:12:55,840 broadcast 3410 02:13:02,470 --> 02:12:58,960 uh if we if we can't 3411 02:13:05,270 --> 02:13:02,480 agree that something is true 3412 02:13:07,430 --> 02:13:05,280 um then then we're in big trouble we're 3413 02:13:10,950 --> 02:13:07,440 certainly big troubled democracy 3414 02:13:14,870 --> 02:13:10,960 uh for sure but also if we can't agree 3415 02:13:16,790 --> 02:13:14,880 that we are all on you know temporary 3416 02:13:21,189 --> 02:13:16,800 tenets on this planet man we 3417 02:13:23,430 --> 02:13:21,199 we all have a you know a use by date 3418 02:13:24,870 --> 02:13:23,440 you know if we don't if we don't agree 3419 02:13:28,069 --> 02:13:24,880 that we're all 3420 02:13:29,350 --> 02:13:28,079 going out and in the ground and and we 3421 02:13:31,030 --> 02:13:29,360 need to be kind and 3422 02:13:34,149 --> 02:13:31,040 find a way to love each other or at 3423 02:13:37,669 --> 02:13:34,159 least be willing to respect each other 3424 02:13:39,589 --> 02:13:37,679 and not not and and yes the media does 3425 02:13:41,430 --> 02:13:39,599 drive a wedge there's no question about 3426 02:13:43,750 --> 02:13:41,440 it but 3427 02:13:45,830 --> 02:13:43,760 we also as a people have to learn to 3428 02:13:48,709 --> 02:13:45,840 accept what what truth is 3429 02:13:49,510 --> 02:13:48,719 what facts are and i i heard a great 3430 02:13:52,629 --> 02:13:49,520 quote 3431 02:13:53,910 --> 02:13:52,639 i think it was cornell west said if 3432 02:13:57,910 --> 02:13:53,920 without truth there's no 3433 02:13:58,709 --> 02:13:57,920 love because love is the ultimate truth 3434 02:14:01,589 --> 02:13:58,719 and if you don't 3435 02:14:03,910 --> 02:14:01,599 if you don't have truth in your life and 3436 02:14:05,990 --> 02:14:03,920 or if you don't believe the truth 3437 02:14:07,510 --> 02:14:06,000 you'll never be able to really love i 3438 02:14:08,790 --> 02:14:07,520 thought that was a strong thing 3439 02:14:10,229 --> 02:14:08,800 i don't know if you agree with it but i 3440 02:14:11,270 --> 02:14:10,239 happen to think it was a powerful thing 3441 02:14:14,550 --> 02:14:11,280 to say 3442 02:14:17,830 --> 02:14:14,560 because one another note about love 3443 02:14:22,310 --> 02:14:17,840 i think it's the the single greatest 3444 02:14:24,790 --> 02:14:22,320 uh sacrifice and
