of the country's most beautiful roadway is in Peril on the California coast where the mountains Cascade into the sea a ribbon of Road rides down the edge of the continent Highway 1 is a singular experience and this winding 70m stretch hugging the Steep Coastline of Big Sir is why bucket list exist what do you think of this Coastline driving up and down I think it's phenomenal for tourists like Linda Carroll of St Paul Minnesota the feeling is divine if you didn't believe in God and you were down here you definitely would have to because it's just spectacular so does this view ever get old no because it's always changing Kirk Gaff has spent his life on the Bluffs of big sir he runs neeny restaurant where the tables come with a view so wide it shifts your perspective gaff's grandparents first moved here in 1947 after Hollywood royalty moved out they bought the property from Rita Hayworth and Orson Wells that who had just had bought the property a couple years earlier on their honeymoon trip and then got divorced and so they decided to build a Restaurant Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton filmed scenes at neeny for the 1965 film The Sandpiper but the true star of the show around here has always been Highway 1 opened in 1937 in a burst of optimism at the end of the Great Depression so this road Highway one has been a part of your entire life yeah it is the part of big S that is fundamental to living here to having a business here and so access is everything and right now there are signs of trouble in Paradise as we sit here today the road is closed just south of here what does that do to your business it represents about a 30 to 35% drop in business levels we know these closures are going to happen it's just a matter of when not if it's almost become an annualized event Fier storms from two back-to-back wet Winters have battered the Santa Lucia mountains causing landslides that have buried and broken the road in four places when the bridge fell north of here and we had a big landslide to the South we lived in what we call the island so we were essentially closed off beautiful what you've done with Ito Magnus torrin lives in Big Sur where he runs the Henry Miller Memorial Library dedicated to the writer who helped put the area on the map in the 1950s this is the California men dreamed of years ago this is the face of the Earth as the Creator intended it to look wow y almost as dramatic as the landscape right right Toren lives just a few miles from where Highway 1 comes to an abrupt end closed to the South for nearly 2 years are you concerned in the future that this road in this situation here becomes more precarious of course I mean who wouldn't be I've asked the question can we continue to keep this highway open forever when it gets so assaulted by landslides and and also fires scientists say climate change is fueling more frequent and intense wildfires and more powerful winter storms a potent mix that increases the risk of landslides in an area already prone to them in the past 5 years California has spent nearly $230 million repairing just this stretch of highway one I mean that's real money that is real money absolutely but it's an important roadway for California this is part of the original Road Tony Taris is director of California's Department of Transportation you know climate change is something that I think nationally we talk about in the distant future here in California we're experiencing it every day further up the coast erosion forced calr to move sections of Highway 1 400 ft Inland but with mountains on one side and the Pacific on the other there's nowhere to go along Big Sir is it possible to make this thing resilient in the face of what's to come we are doing our best we believe it's possible I can tell you right now we're not abandoning this roadway is Highway one simply too big to fail I I would say it is too important to fail absolutely and while there are certainly easier places to live Magnus torren says there are none more beautiful for so many of us who come through here on a road trip this is a once in a lifetime thing yeah this is your every day it is yeah I do uh sometimes pinch myself and think how could I have been so lucky yeah so I'm very grateful are you having fun uh fun Is for Suckers Max 2 minutes ago I turned 36 and staring down the barrel of my own mortality always beats fun oh my God even if she did just one thing actor director writer producer Natasha Leon style would be unmistakable as Kellan explains in our Sunday profile how long has this been your neighborhood uh I want to say gosh it's so hard to know when something is either 10 years or two isn't it some movie stars like peace and quiet but Natasha Leon likes New York's East Village where there's always something to talk about my mother always used to tell me and God who was great at her job you know you never want to overwash the fruit so that you develop a strong a strong immune system and that's kind of why you want to make sure your kids are walking sliding down these slides here at Tom KS no shade to the neighborhood it's my favorite Leon 45 has been an infectious presence on screen for decades let me just clarify that you have no chance of scoring with me Finch oh yeah of course not playing characters who tend to be funny perceptive and a little weird is this it are we bah now what did you imagine at the beginning well the this uh no uh I guess I always sort of saw it as a a life in the Arts um maybe I had loftier Ambitions if I'm being honest in the first place as a child I always wanted a Lamborghini she never got that car but she's done pretty well without it a former cult favorite now seems to be everybody's favorite Time Magazine recently named her one of the world's most influential people praising her for having the quote rare magnet magnetism of old Hollywood and for being quote the coolest person in the room hi hi she was a memorable presence from the start first on peewee's Playhouse now can I see a mouse old Peewee later in Woody Allen everyone says I love you well there's no way I'm getting married till I'm 35 and I've lived and then I'll probably move in with a woman were there moments where you felt like oh this is really working like oh I'm going to be an actor hey uh I want to say yes uh but I think the answer is a hard no born and raised in New York City Leon describes her childhood as chaotic her father was a boxing promoter and radio host her mother A Gifted dancer you knew enough to say like I need to get away for my own sake yeah I guess uh what do you mean I was a teenage runaway sure I know were you I think so I guess I was out of the house by about 15 but you know uh well I was right down the street in NYU film school so that was your way of getting out I think really I was very lucky that I was a a serious reader so I sort of had a mind that was open to you know many permutations of a world and life and and and saw sort of uh exit strategies or even saw like a deflated mental state as something that was not uncommon by the 2000s Leon was famous and sometimes Infamous she struggled with drug addiction and reportedly came close to dying how tough were those years for you I guess you're trying to ask me about my crazy drug years and why and uh I'd say in part I was a little bit curious about why the world was set up the way it was and I sort of wanted to go on the road and uh take a bit of my own sort of investigative reporting tour into what the world was actually about outside my limited world uh I'm always very uh transparent around my whole history and mostly in the hopes that it's uh in some way can help the next guy she rebuilt her life and her career playing Nicki Nichols on Orange Is the New Black I am not easy you're slutly not easy there's a difference semantically these days she's also a writer director and producer she co-created the acclaimed series Russian doll oh my God I am not crazy okay I am not crazy you know I hate it when people call me crazy and her animal pictures helps produce her detective show Poker Face there's something off here there's there's a lie I just I I need to find it which is currently shooting its second season now you you want to watch this Wing this is this that's my new catchphrase this is a part of the show where the journalist runs into the airplane be careful we visited Leon on set a few hours outside New York City this show is fun is it different at the end of a day when you've been on a show say the difference is first of all they're all fun you know it's it's all gift honestly and also none of them are fun because of the high anxiety of actually you know making something making something on a budget making a timeline and action you hear those stories about guys like cop just like waiting for the light to change uh you know you don't really have that privilege and I would say especially as a female director you know my heart goes out to all of us cuz God forbid we ever stop to wait for the light to change Leon doesn't seem to stop for anything Rachel you know you can't be doing that out here legal now this month she stars in a new film his three daughters alongside Elizabeth Olsen and Carrie they play sisters caring for their dying father know he's my dad too just as much as he has both of yours but you also had another dad who I never knew aelle jobs the writer and director created the role specifically for Leon we found these new like untapped depths like a reservoir for me the question became why why why am I always like smoking and shutting it down and trying to self-destruct it away what is that feeling underneath the feeling that I'm running from and really being allowed to sit in that grief in a way uh was a whole new idea these onscreen questions have followed Leon offscreen grief is a crazy concept it's something that we don't talk about enough it's hard to talk about yeah because it's happening every moment like we're grieving you know like what happened eight minutes ago two minutes ago like you're in a constant state of grief a garbage man is throwing a garbage can across for Lane this is a New York sport garbage look what is that okay Natasha Leon always seems to be plotting her next adventure I got all sorts of hot takes for our next CBS interview uh on what I think the afterlife actually is is this a simulation I have idea chances are chances are statistics say but you know in the here and now just having been on both sides of the street I'd say it's only showas kids don't get it twisted hey I'm Ryan Reynolds recently I asked mint Mobile's legal team if big Wess companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation they said yes and then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those owner to your contracts they said what the are you talking about you insane Hollywood so to recap we're cutting the price of Mint

and done well hire highquality certified pros at angie.com it's been a little more than 2 years since katangi Brown Jackson was sworn in to become the first black woman to serve as a Justice on the United States Supreme Court she takes stock with Nora odonnell this was my favorite poem growing up in high school uh the latter of St Augustine because it talked about this value of hard work to understand Justice katangi Brown Jackson consider the poem she's kept close for decades the heights by Great Men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they while their companions slept were toiling upward in the night was like my favorite summary of how I felt that I was the person who was going to toil upward in the night always toiling upward as Henry wodsworth Longfellow put it is how the 116th Justice says she made history I will well and Faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter so help me God so help me God as the first black female on the Supreme Court what kind of pressure does that come with I think there's a fair amount amount of attention that comes with being the first and when eyes are on you you really do want to perform well and this first is determined she won't be the last I'm still just so floored from being in this building she details her journey to the highest court in her Memoir out Tuesday the title lovely one yes that's what your name means it is it is so my aunt was in the Peace Corp in Africa when I was born and my parents really wanted to honor our heritage and asked her to send them a list of African names and they picked that one Lovely One katangi Onika which is my given middle name her parents John and Ellery Brown grew up in the segregated South but this middleclass Miami couple had high hopes for their daughter I was born within five years of the Civil Rights Act the Voting Rights Act so they were like here's our opportunity to um make sure that our daughter can do all the things that we didn't get to do my parents had raised me to believe that I could do anything I wanted to do that was my uh way of thinking about myself you also write that your parents inspired a sense of perseverance they had a sense of perseverance you know my mother used to say have you seen this being done before has anybody ever done this well if they have then you can do it too and that was the mindset that they really drilled into me um you keep going and that's exactly what she did by High School katoni Brown was a national speech and debate Champion with even bigger Ambitions this is the part where people recognized that I had said I want to eventually have a Judicial appointment and I had forgotten all about that wanting to have a Judicial appointment but there it is in my high school yearbook wow no surprise Harvard came next more unexpected was the young man in lecture hall this is the classroom where you met this is the classroom where we met so I would sit I want to say it was like maybe here with one of my friends that's right I would always try to sit right behind you just to get your ATT the row behind me and then he would lean over you know tap me on the shoulder in 1996 she married Patrick Jackson he was the young surgeon she was the Harvard Law grad aiming even higher Jackson clerked for Supreme Court Justice Steven Brier and later worked as a federal public defender but at home she admits she was struggling a young mother two daughters one eventually diagnosed as autistic I think I was probably harder on myself and harder perhaps on my daughter than I should have been it's like I didn't really um believe that there could have been some sort of neurological issue and therefore kind of pushed both herself and Me In 2013 the Longs sought Federal judgeship did come years later a surprise announcement from presidential candidate Joe Biden I'm looking forward to making sure there's a black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get every representation Dr Jackson what did you think when you heard him say that I have always thought katangi would be doing this job when I interviewed to come to Georgetown the chair at the time said why do you want to come to Georgetown and I said because we need to be in DC because my wife is going to be a Supreme Court Justice so I he always knew knew he always knew I of course was like yeah right my ad a and love for katangi is palpable like it's it's like it's uncontrollable like I this is not a volunteer yeah like I wish it was controllable but it is not so it wasn't a surprise when you heard Joe Biden samon to nominate a black woman to this no I thought he said I'm going to nominate katangi like that's what you heard in your mind that's what I heard then in 2022 it happened i' like you to go to the Supreme Court how about that sir I would be so honored at 51 katoni Brown Jackson became the newest member of the Supreme Court since you joined the court two years ago you immediately became the most prolific questioner among the justices no one else is even close to you why do you laugh because I was the most prolific questioner as a district court judge as well because I have a lot of questions I think it's harder obviously when you're when you're one of nine than when you're all alone um and there was an adjustment period that that I think had to happen from my perspective I wasn't doing anything different um and maybe I should have been but I have questions and we have a very complex at legal system and these issues are hard one of the hardest issues the Supreme Court tackled this year involved Donald Trump the question could the former president face criminal charges for his efforts to undo his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden in July the Court ruled 6 to3 along ideological lines that Trump was entitled to immunity for official acts as president Jackson dissented you were concerned about Brad immunity I was concerned about uh A system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances when we have a criminal justice system that had ordinarily treated everyone the same are you prepared that this election could end up before The Supreme Court uh as prepared as anyone can be let me ask you are you prepared for all of the news CES that that you're getting as a result of this election no no exactly I mean I think there are legal issues that arise out of the political process and so the Supreme Court has to be prepared to respond uh if if that should be necessary today fewer than half of Americans say they have a favorable view of the Supreme Court pick your reason the partisan confirmation battles the overturning of Row versus Wade or undisclosed trips and gifts given to justices including Samuel Alo and Clarence Thomas by one analysis Justice Thomas has accepted around $4 million in trips travel and gifts over the past two decades is that inappropriate oh I'm not going to comment on uh other Justices interpretations of the rules or how what they're doing what's your personal code of ethics well I follow the rules um whatever they are with respect to ethical obligations and it's important in my view to do so it really boils down to impartiality that's what the rules are about people are entitled to know if you're accepting gifts as a judge um so that they can evaluate whether or not your opinions are impartial the president wants a binding code for the Supreme Court that would enforce gift disclosures and recusals do you see a problem with that so you know a binding code of ethics is pretty standard for judges and so I guess the question is is the Supreme Court any different and I guess I have not seen a um persuasive reason as to why the court is different than the other courts are you considering supporting an enforcement mechanism I am considering supporting it as a general matter I'm not going to get into commenting on particular policy proposals but from my perspective I don't have any problem with an enforcable uh code this is Justice lur good Marshall's mantle clock Justice katangi Brown Jackson will likely be on the court for decades but she's already been swn into history it was Handmade by a woman from Texas and I have it right across from my desk and the opinions from her desk will shape the nation just as she hopes her story will your family went from the segregation to the Supreme Court yes yes in one generation yeah it is the story of the promise of America I think so is it also still a story of exception I think less and less every day which is really what progress means when you go from never having seen or done this thing before to seeing someone do it and then it's happening more often and then you feel like we've we've progressed and it's it's wonderful my dad works in B2B marketing he came by my school for career day and said he was a big row ass man then he told everyone how much he loved

of the wondery podcast baby this is Kiki Palmer listen up because there's some messed up stuff we got to talk about currently race-based hair discrimination is still legal in some states in the US which means black people are getting denied jobs kept out of schools and losing out on opportunities because of their natural hair texture and protective hairstyles that's just not right but there's good news the crown Act is legislation which prohibits race-based hair discrimination in workplaces and schools in the US and today's sponsor Dove is a huge advocate they are all about championing a world that respects and celebrates the beauty of black hair that's why Dove co-founded the crown Coalition in 2019 to advocate for the passage of the crown act dove and the crown Coalition are trying to reach 1 million Crown act petition signatures and hope to see the crown Act pass Nationwide join dove in taking action to help in race-based hair discrimination by signing the crown act petition at dove.com Crown that's dove.com crown [Music] Ryan CEST is already known as one of the busiest people in television so what would tempt him to add yet another to all those plates he's spinning he solves that puzzle with an assist from our Luke Burbank just a heads up America when you turn on your TV this week something is going to be different I can't wait to get to work let's get you ready for yes after 40 plus years Wheel of Fortune has a new host grab those devices time for the first toss up who is himself sort of an institution in America he's the guy who seems to host everything these days Ryan CEST can you please list the jobs that you currently have let's start with the beginning of the year New Year's Eve the ball drops that starts the year it is 12° and it feels like zero American Top 40 this one new on the chart at 32 on a ran seest in the mornings on KISS FM 7:39 in the morning and then syndicated across the country American Idol and Wheel of Fortune and then some specials here and there Wheel of Fortune distributed by CBS is the latest and possibly the most high-profile job for CEST who grew up in tiny Dunwoody Georgia where even as a kid he kept very busy believe it or not I played High School football what position I played strong safety I was Stronger but not that strong I didn't play a lot but I practiced a lot practiced so much but played Less in the games but High School football in Georgia is no joke B deal it's it's a that's my excuse but of course you can't get much further from Hollywood than Dunwoody Georgia something that was not lost on seest always wanted to do this always dreamt of being on the air I would listen to Casey kasm hello again and welcome to American Top 40 my name's Casey K I'm mowing the lawn on my Walkman you know headphones and um I would picture what it would be like to be in Hollywood how how did you make your way to Los Angeles in my Honda Prelude really uh yeah I packed my things in my Honda from Atlanta and I came out to LA I had uh one contact at a radio station at the time called star 98.7 which was Loosely affiliated with the station I worked at in Atlanta I met the program director eventually I remember coming home to my apartment in Burbank every day playing my answer machine like hitting the microtape waiting for his voice eventually the call did come leading to radio success and then the show that changed his life American Idol we're down to two Klay aen and Reuben stuttered head to-head The Showdown tonight on American Idol I know the DNA of that show I mean that's the house where I go into it's like oh we built that bathroom I know that door squeaky and we need to you know if you want to use go over here for the the spoons and the silverware like you I sort of know that world really well now America it's all up to you everything that I do has has a has somebody that's a bigger star or a supporting group and it's not about me it's about a contestant it's about a story it's about something else or someone else and I think that does make me feel a bit more comfortable give the wheel a final spin ask meanwhile Wheel of Fortune that's a house constructed by its creator MV Griffin and meticulously maintained by host Pat sjck for over four decades yes and now CEST has to figure out the floor plan including the rules of the game which actually took a lot of practice he says um wherever I was working um The Producers sometimes would come and they bring contestants and we would play Wheel of Fortune in hotels just to get familiar with the rules and scenarios and things that can happen so that at some point it becomes second nature in the early tapings we watched CEST seemed comfortable in the role of host and co-collaborator with the TV royalty that is Vanna White I've known Ryan for probably 20 years but um in the past couple of months we've done some traveling together for the show and we got to know each other a little better too so I think our chemistry is good what do you think I mean it looked like you've been doing this forever to together so were you nervous about that element the chemistry cuz there's no accounting for that right that's so true I had no idea what to expect I when I'm used to one person for so long I was very scared but it's he's he's doing a great job this is such an incredible special franchise it's more than a TV show it is something that means something to people and when I found out that this was an opportunity for me there was no thought to this it was like absolutely let's figure it out and let's get started of course figuring it out meant fitting it into his famously packed schedule which occasionally does include some downtime for recharging and for seest that's always happened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where these days he's on the Board of Trustees why is that something that you want to take up even more of your time with it's it's not it's not a job it's uh it's a way to escape it you know it's like you walk through this Museum and you forget about all the things that are going on in the world and you have a chance to look at the different works that are on display here like does this feel like a long way from Georgia it does and interestingly this is right across the street from the E entertainment building that used to be it's now over at Universal but when I was working at E I was on the radio in the morning I was doing e- news I was hosting live from the red carpet nominated for best original Lady Gaga and I would walk across the street here to LMA just take a deep breath and walk around I always came back reinvigorated it was there for me so I'm trying to be here for it you both make it look so easy where you're never going to find a better job and you're never going to find a better co-host a thanks Pat do you feel like you now have reached Peak Ryan C Crest and do not need to take on any more jobs I don't know if I've reached Peak me but I feel like I've reached for the moment um fully occupied me uh I don't think I should take on another job right now I want to get I want this one to go so well I want all of them to go well but this one's new and I want this one to be something that people go okay you know what I get it that makes sense that's what mve said to me goes the beauty of Wheel of Fortune is the kind of show you can sit in front of the TV or have on in the background and play along or yell at a contestant if they're not getting it and you've got it before them I mean that's what the show [Music] is the robots have

week are now stuffed into 4 days I don't like that waking up after a 3-day weekend is never fun that extra day of sleeping in for me convinces my my body that I'll never have to wake up early again waking up a teenager on a Tuesday after a 3-day weekend is virtually impossible unnecessary drama I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy it makes more sense to play volleyball with a hornet's nest I don't want that 3-day weekends present unnecessary pressure to socialize if it's a normal weekend like God intended I don't have to do anything but you add Just One Day More to a weekend and suddenly I'm hosting a barbecue strangers are coming over and looking at my stuff for some reason I'm being invited to my daughter's boyfriend's dad's uncle's place for a night in Rhode Island I don't want to do any of that 3-day weekends always mean travel disasters doesn't matter which day you travel on a 3-day weekend there's traffic a drive that normally would take 40 minutes suddenly now takes 12 hours I'm convinced some of those 3-day weekend drivers are paid by the government to get them my way you probably think I'm being paranoid but you know who invented the 3-day weekend that's right the government H think about it what happens when two stars align on the same stage a lot if it's Mia phoh and Patty LuPone Seth D caught up with them on Broadway if I had a thousand hats they'd all be off to Patty Leone and that's a fact it's just a fact they're famous performers but this is not not acting first of all Mia underestimates herself I talk about her like she's not here Mia pharaoh and Patty Leone have been Pals for 30 years what do each of you see in the other we are different I'm I'm sort of I guess you'd say I'm pepper she sugar or agave or honey and I'm I'm paprika do you know what I mean and is that how you see it Mia I would never thought of the the food element probably or the spice element but that's not wrong I I don't know I I see it below the pepper or honey or goet if you will is a human soul that is immense and that I am drawn to I Really value Patty as a friend I look at the audience before I start to play cuz I want to see who I'm playing too as close as these two Showbiz veterans are they have never worked together until now we met them recently during Tech rehearsal for the roommate the two-person play open winning on Broadway this month I think people are not used to seeing a theater in this state with all of these things around do people know how much stuff there is I love to be in technicals I love to see everybody at work like this now 75 Patty Leone made her Broadway debut more than 50 years ago she's acted in this very theater don't cry for me and won three Tony Awards for rolls in a Vita [Music] company and Gypsy we weren't necking he kissed me once and I kissed him once Mia Pharaoh who's 79 got her start even earlier in Payton place in the mid 1960s she's the first American woman to join the Royal shakespare company and achieved cinematic immortality in the horror classic Rosemary baby what have you done to it what have you done to its eyes to this day the best part I've ever been offered and you were 20 years old when you did Rosemary was 21 21 getting these two legends together took a little convincing and coordinating the director each asking you're saying are you going to do it you going to do it that really how it work yeah yeah but we did call each other a lot because I thought it would be so exciting to work with Mia whom I adore just to listen to Mia talk about anything is such an event that I would rather do that than rehearse I would rather do that than eat lunch we all feel that way it's an amazing experience just to listen to her who decided to do this first Mia you decided to do it but it was dependent on Patty doing but they went to Mia first and I'm actually a second choice I think I don't even I'm a second I could be a third choice I don't know who was ahead of you Anette Benning I'm really glad it's Patty what's that like as an actor well I'll tell you it's not comfortable how do you deal with it you accept the part could you need to the roommate is a comedy about a New Yorker portrayed by LuPone who moves to the Iowa home of Pharaoh's character secrets and surprises abound I'm gay oh you oh he I I I mean I don't have any problem with homosexuals oh good no no not at all it's one set one act and 90 minutes of lines to remember who's better at remembering their lines we're both struggling both struggling it's just the two of us they are icons and legends but they're also consumate artists playright Jen Silverman says the roommate gives audiences the chance to see the richness and depth of women of a certain age when was the last time you were on a date when I got married and we all saw how well that turned out Silverman says are often rendered invisible it is harder for roles for women our age and it's it's a Pity because we come with a certain amount of wisdom experience that it's still sexy still very sexy why do you see it as sexy why do do I see it as sexy because it is because we come with the power a Broadway Legend just loses it on stage last night theater actress Patty Leone grabbed a cell phone out of the hands of an audience member who was texting Leone has used her stature to admonish audience members who peek at their phones it's something you abhor I think we all abhor it I'm just vocal about it how is that as an actor it's distracting to the actor but it's worse for the audience you see because we're trying trying to create a story weave a spell Mia Pharaoh's own real life story has always fascinated the public at 21 she married Frank Sinatra like Patty he was Sicilian he but unlike Patty he he had a temper but the essential person was so compassionate and shy and readily available more than anyone I've ever known it ended up being a friendship that lasted until he died of course she's also known for her relationship with Woody Allen oh my God you killed Mr Davis they made 13 films together Mia pharoh and their adopted daughter Dylan Pharaoh accused Allan of molesting Dylan when she was seven Woody Allen vehemently denies the charge are you able to separate the experience as an actor in those films from the person personal trials and tribulations that would follow oh yeah and I I completely understand if an actor decides to work with him I I'm not one who's they shouldn't you know we Mia phoh tells us she's at peace today and pretty content out of the spotlight but not many people have had me as life you have lived a fascinating fasc I'm old you know i' i' you know well there were there are a lot of old people that haven't lived your life quite the same set of experiences exactly how does that factor into a decision to do something like this it was perhaps a feeling of maybe is this it or might there be one last adventure what do you mean by is this it meaning never do anything else for the remainder of my days had you thought that yeah I'm very good at at doing nothing it's a gift um I'm endlessly entertaining to myself I have good friends I I had I have no complaints I don't have Mia mindset I wish I did I'm not good not working I don't know what to do in spare time I get extremely depressed because I feel useless you have to stop thinking about yourself as basically dead you are actually younger than most US presidents as you look back on your careers what is the measure of success I think it's longevity I really do I think if you're still working if you're still vital if they still want you to work at this time that's success I agree the fact that we're even working now that to me is Success hi we're big little feelings you know
