larry limited departures i went to swim in my ex husband's poor girl and i have a couple of girlfriends over for lunch here and there were basically that was it i had brought home delivery to a fine art when all of a sudden like and caught hold and said we were in a dinner there says. holly found that distinguished in our fairy tale beach. ram car and you now i have been an activist for gay civil liberties for many decades sorrow i was very happy to be part of this suspicious movie for the network and at 1st i was a little like oh my god i have to leave my house and not only that but across the border because we were shooting in canada now i gotta work permit i got a negative covert test i got my pop and i busted across the border and once that

happens after say dan as it was very liberating because i think i was getting too much you know insulated in my own house now and getting afraid of being outside in a think that's healthy either so i was making a concerted effort to excite and mix up my micro man or other close friends that i felt were living carefully and or as i call him other middle aged scaredy cats like me but their heads were holed up using their heads yep and and and so once i crossed over and then i i got to i said to them you know my friends dan it takes an exam ackroyd are at their compounds meeting in canada can i do my current gene there and they said yes and

then it became like a family reunion with them on the lake and my diet. you know i never saw this horrible for never swam north and so we did all that and then they picked me up and brought me to the location after my to a quarantine and then we were in a coal there for a bubble because every other day we were cascading tested every day we had a fella had a question a year and the only people on that you know on the set that didn't run maddest this layer were the actors and the it was just canadians are very sweet people you know and. if the one. there yes dear charming lovely people and it's a beautiful country and i was just so happy to be there and and the cast was so endearing and i think we're all ready to go back to work and at something

that was such a feel good project and such an idealised world that normalizes. it and having a have a gay child was in the story like having a kid with brown eyes it was not the. not nks i just want my children to be happy one is straight and in the military one is gay and a lawyer and i and at fixing them both at the math that christmas said and i'm much more successful at doing man in the movie than i am in real life. i'll tell you what for a prime's when i hear stories of. i cannot imagine a sadder thing i'm trying to think what my kid could come to me with outside of mean spirited behavior of other humans or book but i mean she's a say you know when i hear the stories that i don't want to tell my mother and follow i thank my god they have missed the whole point of it it is such that you

know. now as you know i do know as stand that that of course on my gigs were canceled to send us a lot down started but one that i had that i did m p 10. i do a little q. and a after at my army hands and one guy said that you now. when he came out his man was very upset and didn't really desert have a relationship with their son anymore and yet now i kind of. turned it upside down and i said tammy i feel sorry for her because you are her opportunity to become an open minded unconditional loving person and she kind of messed that up the chain and hey it's never too late but if

she doesn't see it that way and i am kind of a buddhist southall everything that's presented to may i can at pivot towards questioning well why is this being president it's a male where is my opportunity in it. and i think that kind of how it says go through all kinds of struggles and challenges in our ally. all i know is this in my whole life and obviously i met the girl of my dreams there's all that although i kid my wife some point i say i'm just the date that worked out when you compare it to mother in law but the truth is the most of bewley and the most freeing liberating the most cathartic thing that took the scales from my eyes and maybe realize i was alive was the birth of my. and it boggles my mind i was trying to they got beasley there's some things that they come come in with and

say i have to tell you this and you'd have to fix it or you go oh my god but it's nowhere near what what what they fall in love with that boggles my i don't want to sound like a rod mckeown liner notes but a boggles my mind that anybody would waste a 2nd not fully embracing their children and indeed if they came out with something that they were trepidations about embracing them a little harder and moment to what the so i can't tell you how far beyond we are with. yet more married last to have a father like you that thinks that way there are times when i talk to people who are buddhists i'm sort of fascinated by it and you know i think i should as i get older non i have more free time that i'm not on the hustle and all that i think i'm a study that more just try to figure all that out because i you know i'm a believer and i believe in a god in the universe i can't quite put a face a name a theory to it but i i don't believe in a higher power only because i've seen so many people helped it throughout my life

in the 12 step programs where you have to give it over to a higher power and i always say well the must be something out there that is healing these people so beautifully like that but as i get older i'm going to study buddhism a little more try to figure that out and see if it's for makes. greatest enchant action same name wise. book of buddhist offerings it's called and. it's just why i'm. with them and yet it's egg a bit in the kitchen and the car as you know is going to the kitchen 1st thing in the morning when f.t. regathered and so i just turn the page and i read that offering fed the day and most of them are exquisite in their profound and you know they include both you know ancients thinkers as well as

contemporary wines modern and email listening to people like. tele is you know really what they continue to drive home is. being presence in your own life not in your ego of mind demi is star judging what's good or bad you're in your ego minds because you are what you meant and that if it's just a daily practice because we don't live in a culture that really promotes that you have to kind of step outside of all the brainwashing and just try and be a little more passive and a little more presidents and out of your mind and into a deeper state i was just listening to echo wright and he gave this

interesting analogy because he said if you had a beautiful ball a fruit bowl. but you didn't put fruit in an. the ball doesn't know that it's incomplete the ball is just in there without a hollowed center and it's jest existing that way and that pretty much where most people's consciousness seamless and what he says is there is a bounty of fruit to fail what we really are is you know simply a vehicle for a much deeper it life experience and that's what we have to kind of strive for may never totally get there but every day you try and challenge to self to move a little closer towards it and and sometimes you're not good at it in sometimes

you're terrible at it and then you just have to say you know the universe is going to give me another opportunity. well i think i need to get a book in my kitchen the nosh on a profundity each morning because the careerist in me thinks i wonder if with empty balls paul says than watergate and had a career but i've got to diffuse for myself i've got to move on from that. went off what attributes area here with my my new yoda friend drescher we'll talk about the movie the christmas set up right after the break what would be like for friend josh thanks for. the there's a saying. there on the cheap but then to become crystal let's idea is right to call you a skunk he said if you. look to. the

discomfort. this is what we don't understand how we are in such a country. or sentiment at the same time. similar. john a. good one. because. if the minutes of kong were not that got to meet. with the phone the computer with the plane could. come back to the place story it was to see. the. movie. which is the point it would find.

an atmosphere child with geology and. the border of the ocean and its interior it could. be of the. as for why old is just far beyond our wildest imagination.

hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one is a brad that i had to read it off the prompter my own name jason and i mean we're joined by her and. she's got a movie coming out i want to talk more about we were talking in a more exorcist until benton our 1st segment but i love christmas films folks i'm a sucker for all of it when they run white christmas 24 hours in a row on the sunday and channel the day before christmas i watch the beginning of it every hour just to reacquaint myself with joy. and she's got one the christmas set up and it's got a l g b t q little to it she told us

a little bit about it but when lifetime 1st approached your friend they must have been all chuffed with themselves and so if there is a time to welcome everybody and of the 10th of may and it's a christmas i love the idea that they have gone into this micro world you know looking at it through that prism you know was there you know in after a. deft reign in. this life experiences that some people would deem gentian and i mean it's time for assaulting staff worry that what the haters 2nd thing and just start painting together with as much love and support and live by the golden rule as possible and help the late wealthy and will change the channel and then get it nice . i do think it's getting better though fred i have to tell you through my 2 boys i

remember thinking at some point i want to associate myself with something they like i don't even need to approve of that but i at least let them them to need to know that i considered it so i would take them down to a thing called south by southwest music festival don and austin listen i am of i'm from a different perry como thing i'm not sure i pay myself a square but on the beatles the stones i don't get to pop up all that much but i said i've got to go to some of these things with them so they just don't think i turned great santini i on what they did so i went down and i can't tell you how heartened i was by the vibe in the street where i did about you i'm older the new but what were bill closer than we are we kids and when i was a kid there was there was such cliques mad there was hordes there was jocks there were squares and never the twain shall meet when i was down in austin for south by southwest i dug the fellowship there i saw the kids who were

welcomed in the clacks that my generation when i think it is getting better so well at you now those kinds of. constants are really great because they draw out of people who are passionate for music and i think austin is an anomaly i mean it is it really cold claims to be a nice petri dish. and but i think you know look i'm glad you had a great experience and i just think that today's generation for the most part with some exceptions that. john. you now are aren't open minded i think a lot of kids are more colorblind to race show different ness and much more open to that in you now and that. i think it will get better over

the in the sun trees quite frankly but i don't think any sort of poison is completely extracted out of a sized society overnight if it is i think sometimes it's faint for instance when i hear l g b t q can i tell you when i was young if the word queer fell on your ears somebody castigating another person you used to be aghast you'd say oh my god that they just coughed up 1st it seems it was the n word for the homosexuals or we didn't even know a black has been either you know like but now i think boy the times they are a change and because they have ascribed to themselves they are. wired in now and so. it's almost in the defiance now there will be it will go up eventually gran's it away as the beyond is groove on the little let's talk about the l g p g q m nanny generation because

i'm telling you that show what a mother load to hit you are so perfect that i'm hoping it delivered that character it seems to me she must of thought that should be a dream and that. it's it hits racin that carries should not in the light of what it will change well there you go because i don't like not approach as i watch you die the wow that is right for allie and care thank you i now we now know that this was a math agenda they have a lifetime and it all happened because i was on a plane married and the president of c.b.s. was on the same flight and then this is back in the day when t.w.a. was silent because this. made jest big act you know i thought to myself carp a d.m. this is really an opportunity of a night of a lifetime and i'm going to you now and then same to hear my pitch is 1st show for me and. and literally 9 and

a half hours later we throw out the zahn's and said ok when we are that writes it i call my office i'll set you up with comedy development and i didn't have the idea at the moment but then eventually i thought of it on that trip and hitched it jim my then has been now gay x. has fans. and has sent you know what do you think of that askin and the sound of music only instead of generally engineers i can do that and he's got a sense of these things and he said that said let's pitch that as soon as you get back and that was the beginning of the beginning. you know they they love the high concept to it's like that a pocket might be apocryphal but it's brandon tartikoff scrolling m.t.v. cops on a napkin sliding it over to michael mann you know they look can you imagine you

come in or you go the sound of music i come to the door a lot of those guys are fake in their way through their days it's not like they're moliere writing candied when they get something like that that they can see they see i can i can win some critical acclaim and i can make a boatload of money here big oh yeah we were lucky were very lucky the timing was right you know as the heir as those fabulous ninety's so there was money to be and get foreigners afraid of spending it in business and. our timing was just right now i had kind of manifested it because i didn't want to. be out of control of my own career and in long time i didn't want to do jobs that i didn't feel satisfied by for the money and i just thought there are other ways to make money if i can get on the inside in a big way in the next 5 years i'm going to get out and this was the manifestation

of. yeah seizing the rain it harkens me back to earlier this year we lost that the brilliant and seemingly living forever livia the havilland and it harkens back to i think a living it was the 1st one when they would roll the 7 year contracts over at their leisure and if you didn't want to take a film they'd put you on suspension and it wouldn't apply to your 7 years and she just said think about think about the the chutzpah to say that back into the 30 late thirty's early forty's where you just go i'm not showing up we're going to court i'm going to change this so god bless miss mally as brave in real life but she was on the serious event and let everyone. you know it's funny 3. kirk and her lasted about the same amount of time and she even outlived the great spartacus by another year and when i think back i saw an interviewer with

her once friend it was so beautiful that you really can compartmentalize and keep things fresh in your mind as you get older there are obviously the ages of men the ages of women but i saw somebody ask her about errol flynn and use the just think back to that would you know when they're young and they're horny and they're beautiful and she immediately clicked this is iterative she could syria go. arrow and i does the boy how beautiful that she you know can still flip that film on and see those guys who are going in and out of a tree since we were of course it really made my heart feel good for what a life she led you know we were larry's listening to christians from the days i mean music and sometimes i wonder how many people passed our generation is going to recognize jimmy durante his voice or our cries these voice

you now it's like these are the songs that they keep playing on the christmas channel of sandara how many people really recognize says voices they were these people were so alive when i was growing up and i remember as a definitely danny kaye in but i mean i just want to. but it's so funny you said that he came because as you were talking about it i was going to herrmann vera ellen on the let's call it the fontainebleau hotel doc in white christmas where his guns heads you could tell they've got a strap under him so they're tucked into his beautiful crushed velvet says and he swing it around to the day. and i always think jesus he had it i love these people who had their moment and hit it as hard as they could hit it and it will be there forever love the feeling. jim i love that chair laughing i always watch it whenever i'm surfing and the channel send it's on it's just wait.

and that's when what do you want me i don't like china and so. sammy is great and what about when dean jagger the generals expecting to get a letter from the pentagon to get him back in and being comes back he's dressed in some beautiful hound's tooth with an ascot of a door he's got his pipe and the general says i'm not going to be in this hotel your business long i am expecting to get back in the military i i applied for reinstatement and boeing says oh what am i think you were my thinking i got a letter here for a heads up to the general look set to go sudden are my reading glasses can you read this the best been crossed the line every takes it out of the on globe it goes oh i'm start to play a little trombone myself. i don't write a lot until. now. any absolutely.
