You're an active guy.
Still you play a lot of golf, is that right?
Golf is about as active. Yes.
(audience laughs)
I do hike, and I do pilates.
Yeah.
Yeah
Yeah. You shouldn't ever tell anyone that.
(crowd laughing)
Guys should never say, "I do Pilates".
(crowd laughing)
When you're golfing at Pebble Beach.
I was just on Pebble Beach last week.
Didn't play that well, but it's the best fun,
I have all year, but I, you know, you know,
you get, you're not as I'm older than you,
but you know you get up there,
you gotta move around and stay busy.
I found, I, I find one advantage to getting older.
I was playing basketball, as a matter of fact,
with my son
my son's in his high school team.
So we were in the backyard
and he gave me an elbow in the groin,
gave me like a dead center,
Yeah
like a bullseye.
Like it wasn't like a graze or anything.
It was right there.
Right.
And every guy know
this hasn't happened to me in like 20 years
where I had a bulls-eye shot there.
(crowd laughing)
And every, I don't have to tell here every guy
It's the worst pain imaginable
Yeah
So I get hit there.
Wasn't as bad as I thought.
(crowd laughing)
No
What do you mean?
(crowd laughing)
I figured it out.Here's why.
When you're in your twenties, things are just compact,
right?
(crowd laughing)
Yeah. But now there's give, there's, there's slack.
There's slack.
(crowd laughing)
So you take a
Impact is spread over a greater area.
Yeah
You know what it is, you take a punch,
but it's like punching a curtain.
(crowd laughing)
You can live, you can survive.
(crowd laughing)
Here's the thing.
When you're 20, you don't want to get hit there.
Cause you, you use.
Yeah.
That's the body saving the species.
It's warning you, don't get hit.
Right.
But now what do you,
You really need?
What do you need?
You know what they are,
(crowd laughing)
You know what they are now.
They're like tonsils.
(crowd laughing)
Keep them, don't keep them.
I got to ask you just, okay,
in your life, Everybody Loves Raymond.
The show syndicated such a big hit.
It's everywhere.
(crowd cheering)
I've known you.
I've known you for a long time.
You're a regular guy.
Is it hard for you to go anywhere and not be recognized?
No, it depends.
In LA, it's pretty, pretty easy.
Right.
Like when you go and get outside of the business area.
I get hit a little bit up, you know, in New York
I go back to New York and my family still in New York.
Right.
So I get hit up.
But it's, you know, it's cool.
And people, are there people,
like sometimes you don't notice someone
want to be your friend
because they're, they know you from show business.
One thing is when you have a TV show a lot,
you do get people who want to be your friend.
And it's a good problem to have.
I can't be friends with them.
Right.
Because I don't have time,
but I'll tell you what I've noticed.
Now that I'm in my fifties,
I will make the time to be someone's friend
if they're a doctor.
If you're a doctor.
(crowd laughing)
I want to buddy up to anybody.
Here's what happens when, as you get older
I've found you gravitate towards certain friends.
Like when you're 18, it's the kid with the car.
The kid with the car is very popular.
You want to be his friend.
Yes.
When you're twenties, it's the kid who has connections.
You know.
The kid who his brother works at a strip club, you know,
he can get you can get your tickets to REO Speedwagon,
right?
It doesn't, that doesn't seem like much but 30 years ago.
That was big.
Yeah.
(crowd laughing)
Back when things are compact what was the thing.
Yes.
But thirties to fifties: lawyers,
you want lawyer friends cause you're gonna,
you're gonna get divorced.
You gotta get a picture of your dick off the internet.
Something's going to happen.
(crowd laughing)
Fifties to seventies.
You can't have enough doctor friends.
Yeah
And the weird thing is in the eighties,
it's back to the kid with the car.
It comes all the way around.
(crowd laughing)
