>>> OUR NEXT GUEST IS A LIVING
LEGEND AND JUST TOLD US YOU
CAN'T HOLD IN YOUR BELLY WHEN
YOU'RE SITTING DOWN.
HE'S A SIX TIME EMMY AWARD
WINNER, SIX TIME GOLDEN GLOBE
AWARD, IN JANUARY RECEIVING THE
SAG LIFETIM TO
COURT.
>> OF COURSE.
WE HAVE TO PREPARE TO GO TO
COURT, HOPING WE DON'T GO TO
COURT.
YOU SHOULD GET A PLACE IN L.A.,
AND GET A PLACE NEAR HER.
LOOKS BETTER FOR CUSTODY.
>> ALAN ALDA, THE LIVING LEGEND
HERE WITH US.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF
THESE PROJECTS YOU'RE WORKING
FIRST, LAST YEAR, YOU REVEALED
TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAD
PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
HOW ARE WE TODAY.
>> I'M GOOD, I SHAKE A LITTLE,
BUT I'M GOOD.
YOU CAN HOLD BACK THE PROGRESS
IF YOU DO A LOT OF SPECIFIC
EXERCISES.
SO I DO A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS.
>> I WAS JUST LOOKING, BOXING,
JUGGLING, TENNIS, SWIMMING,
MARCHING, BIKE RIDING.
>> I MARCH TO SOUZA MUSIC.
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS?
>> A LOT OF SOUZA MUSIC GOING ON
ALL THE TIME IN MY HOUSE.
>> YOU LOOK GREAT.
>> I FEEL GOOD, AND I WORK SO
HARD, BUT I GUESS THAT'S PART OF
IT, I FEEL LIKE A KID BECAUSE
I'M WORKING SO HARD.
>> YOU SAY YOU'RE THE WORLD'S
OLDEST MILLENNIAL.
>> THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL ME AT
MY OFFICE BECAUSE I'M VERY INTO
COMPUTERS AND SOCIAL STUFF, YOU
KNOW.
AND MY PODCAST.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH ALL OF THAT
STUFF.
>> IF WE WERE TO TAKE IT A STEP
AT A TIME, LET'S TALK ABOUT"
MARRIAGE STORY" ALREADY
GENERATING OSCAR BUZZ, I NEVER
KNOW WHETHER TO SAY THAT OR NOT.
>> I THINK YOU SHOULD IN THIS
CASE, BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A
WONDERFUL MOVIE.
ADAM DRIVER AND THE ENTIRE CAST,
THEY'RE SO BRILLIANT.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON AND ADAM
DRIVER, I THINK SHOULD GET
AWARDS FOR THIS.
THEIR PERFORMANCES ARE SO
GENUINE, AND SOMETIMES YOU
LAUGH, SOMETIMES YOU CRY, AND
SOMETIMES IN THE SAME MOMENT
BECAUSE IT'S LIKE BEING IN A
REAL MARRIAGE.
>> IT'S RELATABLE.
>> AND IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE
THIS WHOLE SEGMENT TODAY THAT I
HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO COULD BE
AN EPISODE OF MY PODCAST, AND SO
COULD "MARRIAGE STORY" BECAUSE
IT'S TALKING ABOUT, WHEN I HEARD
THE NOTHING WOUNDS SO MUCH AS
INDIFFERENCE, THAT'S REALLY A
COMMUNICATION THING.
>> YEAH.
>> AND ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE
NOTICED, THAT'S TRUE IN THE
MOVIE MARRIAGE STORY IS YOU GOT
TO COMMUNICATE IN A MARRIAGE BUT
WHEN YOU GET DIVORCED YOU HAVE
TO COMMUNICATE EVEN BETTER AND
EVEN MORE.
YOU'RE UNDER SO MUCH MORE
PRESSURE, YOU GOT TO WORK
TOGETHER.
>> ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE KIDS
INVOLVED.
>> OH, MY GOD, YEAH.
>> AND YOU'RE WORKING, COMING UP
WITH SEASON 7, RADY DONOVAN,
YOU'RE PLAYING A PSYCHIATRIST.
>> I'M PLAYING RAY DONOVAN'S
PSYCHIATRIST, THERE'S NOT MUCH
COMMUNICATION THAT GOES ON
THERE.
>> AND YOU MENTIONED THE
PODCAST, IT'S CALLED "CLEAR AND
VIVID."
FOR FOLKS WHO HAVEN'T CHECKED IT
OUT, I ACTUALLY CHECKED IT OUT.
>> YOU DID.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
>> WHO DID YOU LISTEN TO?
>> THE FBI.
>> THE FBI GUY AMAZES ME.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HAD YO YO MA,
MADELINE ALBRIGHT, SARAH
SILVERMAN, PEOPLE FROM ALL
DIFFERENT FIELDS BECAUSE
EVERYTHING WE DO INVOLVES
COMMUNICATION.
THE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR WAS SO
INTERESTING BECAUSE HE SAID THAT
THE TECHNIQUES HE USES FOR
NEGOTIATING THE RELEASE OF A
HOSTAGE ARE VERY USEFUL IN A
MARRIAGE.
>> HOW SO?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, HE HAD LIKE,
FOR INSTANCE, ONE TECHNIQUE HE
HAD, WHEN HE'S TALKING TO THIS
HOSTAGE TAKER, WHICH COULD TAKE
MONTHS OF DAILY PHONE CALLS, HE
NEVER TRIES TO GET THE HOSTAGE
TAKER TO SAY YOU'RE RIGHT.
HE WANTS HIM TO SAY THAT'S
RIGHT.
THAT LITTLE DIFFERENCE GIVES THE
HOSTAGE TAKER THE FEELING THAT
HE'S NOT THE OBJECT OF THIS
GUY'S POWER BUT HE HAS HIS OWN
POWER, HE HAS THE POWER TO
RELEASE THE HOSTAGE.
>> THE PROBLEM IS NOW YOU HAVE
REVEALED MY NEW TECHNIQUE TO MY
WIFE.
>> THIS IS GOOD, BUT IF SHE'S
LISTENING, SHE'LL HEAR IT,
SHE'LL KNOW.
THIS INDIFFERENCE THING IS SO
GOOD BECAUSE THROUGH PAYING
ATTENTION TO HOW YOU RELATE TO
THE OTHER PERSON, YOU CAN SHOW
THAT YOU'RE NOT INDIFFERENT,
EVEN THOUGH YOU THINK YOU'RE NOT
INDIFFERENT, IT DOESN'T LOOK
THAT WAY SOMETIMES.
>> YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED TO YOUR
WIFE, ARLENE, 62 YEARS, HAVE YOU
USED ANY OF THOSE TECHNIQUES.
>> HER TECHNIQUE IS SHE SAYS THE
SECRET OF A LONG MARRIAGE IS A
SHORT MEMORY.
>> AND ON THAT, MR.
