said he should have visitation. we'll see how that -- >> sends up a flag. seems this was awfully, almost something facilitated it. >> loved parenting those children so much. you would think the natural thing, each have, share -- >> how weird it was. when we learned about it yesterday, i was surprised how, like, personally upset or moved i was from -- i don't know them, but it's -- >> sad, yes. >> funny how people you don't know, there's a breakup and suddenly you feel it. and i was kind of thinking about the only other time i ever felt something when a celebrity was going through something when tiger woods cheated on his wife and it made me so mad. every woman ever cheated on wanted to kill tiger woods. we don't even like tiger. >> i still do a little bit. >> something about taking it out on the other person.

in different countries. sometime as whole world apart. >> yes, yeah. >> so everything was heightened, and we sort of live vicariously. think about it. watched them in the news four days, in six countries, whatever. you're still sitting there in your same housecoat and have barely gone to the market. >> yeah. and look at their lives. seems impossibly disproportionate to yours. does that make any sense? >> yes. >> look at that chateau in france. every time i see that picture, it just looks like heaven. >> it does. it's need to see a couple like them, so purposeful. the other thing. they were always -- it's like always doing good. they went to u.n. things. you saw -- >> homes in new orleans. >> you saw them on red carpets but always saw them in other places and whenever they were on the red carpet they seemed to
