I'll tell you basically what, what this is about is when I was watching Harvey
McKay at one of Harv ER's things, he said he'd just finished the Boston
Marathon and you know, the guy's 76.
And I went, holy crap, you know, that's is amazing.
Um, he looked so fit and he, he's so quick minded and, and so on.
I thought all of a sudden it occurred to me, I bet the way you.
You know, is different.
I bet you don't just, just eat a bunch of garbage.
And, um, that started this thought.
So the, the basic three questions will be, uh, and I'm recording it for use as
well if, if, um, I transcribe these for the book, but then I write about it.
And what's really been neat about it is that what started out as three
same questions to everybody, everybody had kind of a different angle.
And I realized that they were creating the chapters for this book.
And of course, Marcy Shimoff read me The R Act said, I'm not doing something
where, where I did all the work and you're just transcribing it, but if you
actually write in the book, I'll do it.
So I made her that promise , and it, it was a hard promise, but it
was a good one to make because it made me think more, you know, so.
Gotcha.
What I would do is I, I, I basically introduce, And then, um, you can
add anything that you think is important to that introduction and,
um, let me get my history up here because I have, I have you on here.
So how's Robbie doing?
Uh, good hanging in there.
Yeah.
Did you guys have a nice holiday?
Well, we actually kinda had a cruddy holiday.
Father who was very old, got sick and then ended up passing away.
Oh.
Oh golly.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
But, you know, stuff happens.
What are you gonna do?
Okay, so I'm going to is your best website.
We're gonna, at the end I'm gonna ask you, you know, about
your, um, website and stuff.
Is rick fishman.com the best one to go to?
Yeah, probably just for most stuff, that's probably the best way to go.
But you had a really good bio on one of your websites.
Uh, it's up there.
There's one, you know, and most of 'em, I also, Rick fishman blog.com, you know,
Hey, it's Rick Fishman and welcome.
Let me check that out.
I'm so happy you made it here.
And, okay, so the, there's a bio on that one, but there's also a bio on com.
There we go.
About Rick.
Yeah.
So, you know, one of the things that, that I'll bring up is you, you know, you,
you always talk about how you have the biggest Rolodex, and I thought that was
a, a really cool angle too, because part of, part of success is who you know, and
I, you know, I think that's important.
I don't know what your, what your angle is gonna be on this, but the,
you know, the questions will be, um, Do you think that that hypothesis is true?
That, you know, food affects your ability to succeed on some level, and
then if you, the food affects you to ability to, you know, if it, if it
plays into, into your level of success?
In other words, you know, I know they're, they're successful people who
eat crappy food, but so far kind of the consensus has been, Uh, you know,
it's run the gamut of extremes, but, but so far people seem to say, you
know, they can't keep up their energy.
If you speak a lot, you do a lot of speaking, so, you know,
and you have a hectic schedule.
So I, I imagine that if you're, you know, full of two pizzas, you
uh, probably don't have the energy on stage that you normally would.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
true.
So that's kind, that's kind of the angle.
