I've heard the tragic news that you don't drink anymore.
That's not true. Oh,
great
I Uh I did take a about a fifteen month hiatus. Wow. This is a perfectly fine amount of time. It's like a reset button and Oh, I'm so glad. Yes. What do you have for me?
Anything what do you want? What do you got? Uh but this looks nice. What's this is chill. Yeah, this is tequila. Oh. Minute through the week. Everybody Everybody has a tequila company now, right? Is this yours? No No, but I thought of a great name for one. Tequila Mockingbird. I was literally I was literally gonna say that. Is did somebody do it already? No, but it would be amazing. Really? You th you would thought of that? Maybe we should start it together. Mm you know, you take a shot and you bust up a chip. Um you know, you put something into the thing. My good looks, your acting ability. Um Right. Hold on, let me get some Oh, I'm sorry. The worst host in the world. Um Well this is long overdue, sir.
Fa yes, it's great to see you. It's great to do it's
great to see that we can actually have a drink together. Not that we need liquor to be entertaining or to entertain ourselves. No.
I have uh I have my uh
I have got coffee, I've got tequila, I've got uh Oh you got coffee and tequila? It's like an Irish whiskey. Something like that. So you could do a downer and an upper at the same time?
You know, coffee I've noticed since I was a little kid. And I think my dad had the same thing. Does not Uh, caffeine doesn't make me jittery. Oh wow. I think it's the it's the uh it's like the the the way Adderall is prescribed for A ADHD people. I think it just kinda levels them out. Although I'm not ADHD.
No, also you're just very um sturdily made, I would say. You know, there's something about you that's very I mean, that's partly why, you know, you have such success as an actor. People like to see, so I think they said it about Spencer Tracy, somebody who just stands there with a pair of balls and says it's line. You know, you don't you don't ever strike me as the kind of guy who has to like go through psychological traumas in your real life in order you have some, but you don't have to to like do your job. Uh.
Yeah. You
know.
I I read a really great autobi uh not an autobiography, a biography of of um Humphrey Bogart called Um Tough Without a Gun. Oh and Tough Without. It was like he has the cra the craziest story, like born on the upper west side, like in the 30s, when the Upper West Side was like. He was not born in the 30s. He was on Broadway. Raised. In the early in the early 20th century. I'm getting my time right now.
But he was one of the f actors who f made the transition when they went from t silent to talkies. Yes. He was that first generation.
What a voice, obviously he had that going for him, but he was like a little he was like a fuck up. He went to private school, got kicked out, he bounced around, and he like most fuck-ups, ended up in the theater. That'll take anybody. And uh and it's a fascinating story. And and and you know, differently handsome, I think you could say, uh as is Handsome
challenged.
And

Among women, even though Martha Stewart is currently on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit. Martha Stewart is conventionally attractive. excuse me, eighty one wa this war on boners must stop. What? The Helen Miron. It's in her late seventies. And you think she should be on the
