[00:00:26] The entire, when you think about it, the entire locked in thing is Groundhog Day. [00:00:37] You know what is an interesting question? [00:00:38] What do you most miss? [00:00:42] What do you most miss? [00:00:43] I think, let me guess. [00:00:45] Sitting in Starbucks and doing your work. [00:00:48] Is that correct? [00:00:50] That's a good nominee, yeah. [00:00:51] That's a good nominee. [00:00:53] Sean, what do you most miss? [00:00:56] He most misses gentlemen's clubs. [00:01:00] You miss gentlemen's clubs. [00:01:01] Come on, let's be honest. [00:01:04] Because you're a gentleman. [00:01:06] Sports, you know what? [00:01:12] That's right. [00:01:13] Holy crow. [00:01:15] No nothing, man. [00:01:17] No baseball. [00:01:18] Oh yeah, did you have your... [00:01:19] Wait, no fantasy? [00:01:21] This is the first time, obviously. [00:01:25] Wow. [00:01:27] I wonder if they'll have a season at all. [00:01:29] And I wonder if they have a season who will show up. [00:01:32] I would show up. [00:01:33] Oh, definitely. [00:01:33] I'm going. [00:01:34] I don't even go and I'm going to go this year. [00:01:37] And you know what? [00:01:38] I'm going to ask for a seat where the most people sit. [00:01:41] That's what I'm going to say. [00:01:42] Where would you like to sit, sir? [00:01:44] Wherever it's really congested. [00:01:46] I don't think you miss speeches, right? [00:01:54] Oh, yeah. [00:01:55] No, no, what? [00:01:56] You miss what? [00:01:58] Oh, look. [00:01:59] My life is flying and speaking. [00:02:02] My life is... [00:02:02] I have half... [00:02:03] In that sense, I have half my life. [00:02:06] Thank God the half I have is wonderful. [00:02:08] But the... [00:02:10] And it's funny. [00:02:12] Every time... [00:02:13] And it's not easy. [00:02:14] But every time... [00:02:16] I've said this on the air. [00:02:17] I've said this to you personally. [00:02:19] I think I am so... [00:02:21] I'm not complaining about another flight. [00:02:24] I'm just thinking how lucky I am that people want to pay to bring me to speak. [00:02:29] I thought that when I was in my 20s and it started, and I think that now. [00:02:35] People are paying to hear me talk. [00:02:38] What a lucky man I am. [00:02:40] That's how I think. [00:02:42] And aside from the paying, I mean, it's just... [00:02:46] I'm getting to offer my views. [00:02:49] I mean, I was supposed to be in Budapest last week giving a speech in Hungary. [00:02:54] You want to give the living more to the mic? [00:02:58] This is a little bit corny, but you know what? [00:03:00] What I was thinking, I really miss American energy. [00:03:06] Not energy like oil, but the American spirit. [00:03:11] Yes. [00:03:13] I think it's very nice that people are helping other people that... [00:03:16] The generosity that people are displaying, that's a good thing. [00:03:19] But the American energy isn't there because people aren't going to work. [00:03:23] They're not putting their talents to work. [00:03:27] And I miss that. [00:03:29] I sense it. [00:03:30] I mean, it's not like it's, you know, I have some sense other people don't. [00:03:33] No, you know, it's ironic. [00:03:34] I miss traffic. [00:03:36] I mean, I get here in seven minutes now, but I miss traffic. [00:03:43] Traffic means people are going somewhere with an aim, with a goal. [00:03:51] Yeah, it's ambition. [00:03:52] It's getting things done, moving things forward. [00:03:55] Life is moving. [00:04:00] Okay, that's an interesting thing. [00:04:02] People should ask, why do they most miss it? [00:04:04] It's a very interesting one. [00:04:05] Yeah, if you're a sports fan, this is truly amazing. [00:04:09] I mean, you know, Major League Baseball went on strike a few years ago. [00:04:12] How long was that strike? [00:04:13] A few weeks? [00:04:16] But at least... [00:04:17] But now you would still have... === Last Season's Feelings (00:44) === [00:04:19] You'd be now having the NBA, NHL playoffs. [00:04:22] NCAA. NCAA. The Daytona. [00:04:32] What's the big... [00:04:33] Wimbledon. [00:04:35] I mean, it's an astonishing time, I guess, this spring for sports. [00:04:40] Everything's going on. [00:04:46] I feel bad for the rookie player. [00:04:50] You know, the anticipation. [00:04:53] Or the guy, for that matter, you know, later in his career. [00:04:57] You know, I don't know if I'll be back next season. [00:05:00] This would have been my last season.
