You know, I worked with Mary Tyler Moore. It's like, ah!
My technique, you know, I think I have a little bit of that, I don't know, my mother's spiritual, religious, whatever, you know, pride goeth before a fall and, you know, all of that, you know. It does smack of false humility, you know. Here's how I handled Cheers passing. I fucked up my life so publicly and so thoroughly that the actual passing of Cheers was, oh, it's over?
You know, it was that kind of... So I don't really know. I... I was more focused on trying to be better Ted. And that was preoccupying me more than the end of Cheers. I got you.
Yeah, and I really worked very hard on myself. And I don't think Mary would have even been walking down the same hallway as me if I hadn't. I don't think she would have even... seen me.
Yeah. Yeah. And if your intention is to, you know, wake up, um, then all these little, you know, wounds or whatever can be, you know, a godsend in a way.
Well, you know, it came... Once again, I think I was just... I was really excited to discover who I am, you know, and stop being a liar and being emotionally as, you know, this is an ongoing process, obviously, but as being emotionally mature for the first time in my life or trying to be. I was fascinated. I had an amazing mentor. So that truly was what was preoccupying me.
But then right away, I got a... Sherry Lansing is actually... responsible for Mary and I being together. It was a terrible movie, but we were both cast in it. And, you know, we both came to each other at the... She had just broken up from a four-year relationship and was saying to friends, I know I look like I should be good at relationship, but I don't. I can't. I'm not.
Obviously, I'm not that person. I have two beautiful kids. I'll leave it at that. I was going, well, truly, you can fuck up any relationship, and it's you, Ted, that's doing it. So... Maybe you need to just not be in a relationship. And we met, and we became friends, having declared to each other that same kind of feeling that we both had of being kind of flops at relationships.
And just fell head over... We fell head over heels, I'll speak for myself, in love. And, you know, have been inseparable ever since.
29 married, 31 together. I mean, that's incredible. No way. That's amazing. Wow.
He's showing us Mary on a screensaver. This is yesterday. Come on. That's so fucking great, dude. That's why my life really works, truly. Yeah.
You've done it all.
Like which one... I want to keep trying to experience what it is to be funny or explore the... human frailty or whatever you want to call it. It can be drama as long as it has wit, you know, and humor somewhere in there. But I want to know what that's like at every age. I want to keep acting and I'm 77 in a few months. Wow. It's different. It's different. Trying to figure out how to be funny.
Hey, you know what? We've been on this fucking podcast for like almost an hour and that's the first time anyone has said how good I look.
Hey, all three of you may have made me laugh so much over the years. And you do have different styles. Not today. Are you kidding me? You should have seen me while you all were bantering. I was doing spit takes. They told me not to.
Damages to me was one of the funniest things I got to do because that's the epitome of that.
I love the silliness of men. I love being a silly man. Yeah, I love that too. I would like to be, you know, it can be disguised. It can be, but, you know, we're silly. We're silly creatures, and I love that.
Yeah, and I do love humor that comes out of sadness. I do love that it's so much fucking suffering. And if you can find a way to laugh while acknowledging the sadnesses of life, I am so happy when you get to do that.
Hey, listen.
You guys are like a basketball team of three-pointers. You know, one of the shooting guards gets hot and the rest of you just sit alone and let him run.
