I TAKE MY MEDICINE. I GOT SURGERY AND SO I'M GOOD.
>> James: MY HEART IS MOSTLY SPENT.
IT WASN'T MADE UP OF-- CIRCULAR TUBES.
>> James: GOOD TO HAPPENS ON A FILM CREW WITH PRESUMABLY A
MEDIC. >> IT WAS, AND REALLY AMAZING
PEOPLE DID CPR RIGHT F YOU HAVEN'T BRUSHED UP ON YOUR CPR,
THEY SHOULD. AND THEY KEPT ME ALIVE IT TOOK
AWHILE TO GET AN AMBULANCE OUT THERE.
BECAUSE OF CPR, I HAVE MOST OF MY BRAIN CAPACITY, MAYBE NOT ALL
OF IT. >> James: THANK THE LORD FOR
THAT, BLESS THEM FOR, THAT AND EDI YOU HAVE BEEN FILMING ON
LOCATION IN WINNIPEG IN CANADA WHICH IS SOMEWHERE I VNLT BEEN.
I CAN IMAGINE IT IS COLD THIS TIME OF YEAR.
> BEYOND COLD, LIKE. >> James: WHAT SORT OF COLD
ARE WE TALKING? >> LIKE THEY GO BY CELSIUS WHICH
I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND BUT I WILL LOOK AT MY iPHONE AND IT
WILL SAY NEGATIVE 28. >> James: STOP.
>> AND THEN YOU GO TO FEELS LIKE AND YOUR WILL SAY NEGATIVE 40.
>> James: NO. >> AND YOU ARE THROW YOUR PHONE
THROUGH THE WINDOW. >> James: OH MY GOD.
>> IT'S SHOCKING. >> James: AND YOU'RE OUTDOORS
FILMING. >> WELL, WE'VE BEEN INDOORS
FILMING BUT WHEN I FIRST GOT THERE I WAS OUTDOORS QUITE A BIT
BECAUSE I DIDN'T, I NEEDED TO GO TO GET LOTION AND SHAMPOO AND
THINGS I FORE GOT. >> James: YOU'VE A HUMAN
BEING. >> I'M A HUMAN BEING AND WHEN I
LOOKED AT MY PHONE IT SAID OH, THIS THING IS 500 FEET FROM YOU,
AND IT WAS LIKE A CVS EQUIVALENT CALLED SHOPPERS DRUGMART.
AND SO I JUST WENT UP AND STARTED WALKING OUT OF THE
HOTEL. AND I STARTED GOING IN CIRCLES
ON THE CORNER, AND THERE WAS AN-- ALMOST GOING LIKE-- AIDE
TIMES BLACK ICE EVERYWHERE AND THEN YOU FIND OUT YOU CAN'T
CROSS THE STREET, AND IT IS JUST THIS HELL SCAPE OF SNOW AND ICE.
AND THEN THERE IS A STRAIGHT AWAY, A CORNER, WHERE YOU REALLY
FEEL LIKE AN INVISIBLE GIANT IS BULLYING YOU AND PUSHING YOU,
THE WIND IS UNLIKE ANYTHING HAVE I EVER FELT.
AND LITERALLY I HAD TO STOP WALKING BECAUSE I WAS LIKE IF I
DON'T STOP WALKING I'M GOING TO END UP IN ANOTHER STATE.
>> James: IT WAS THAT. >> FAMOUSLY THE WINDIEST CORNER
IN NORTH AMERICA. >> IN NORTH AMERICA.
>> IT'S INSANE, WE SAW NOBODY THERE I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU
WERE. >> I AM THINKING OH, GOD, I
GUESS I'M JUST A WIMP, ITS WIND ALMOST TOOK ME OUT, I GET IN THE
FAN WITH ONE OF THE DRIVERS OR SOMETHING, HE WAS LIKE YEAH,
THAT IS THE WINDIEST CORNER IN NORTH AMERICA, EH AND I'M LIKE
WHAT? >> James: I'M THRILLED ARE YOU
OKAY, THRILLED YOU ARE HERE IN THE WARMTH.
NOW BOB, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BOOK, IT'S JUST ANNOUNCED THE
NUMBER TWO NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER.
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST. NOW I KNOW YOU ARE OUT ON THE
ROAD, YOU HAVE BEEN DOING LIKE A BOOK TOUR, HOW IS THAT GOING?
ARE YOU ENJOYING THAT. >> IT'S AWESOME.
FIRST OF ALL, PEOPLE ARE GETTING BACK TO LIFE WHICH IS SO GREAT
AFTER A PANDEMIC. AT A LOT OF VENUES SO IT IS
REALLY GREAT TO SEE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE GOT GOOD SPIRIT, REALLY
LIKE BEING A ROCK STAR. I MEAN IT'S ALL YOUR FANS, KIND
OF LIKE BEING IN STEELY DAN NOW SO EVERYBODY, KIND OF
INTELLECTUAL, THEY'RE OLDER. THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO HAVE SEX.
AND THEY, THE ONLY DRUGS THEY HAVE ARE HEART DRUGS.
>> James: YEAH. >> WHICH IS WHAT I NEED.
>> James: WHICH IS FANTASTIC. WHY DID YOU WANT TO WRITE THIS.
>> BECAUSE THE REASON I STARTED TRYING IS I RAN INTO SOMEBODY
WHO HAD BEEN IN SHOWBIZ HIS WHOLE LIFE, AS A TEACHER AND
ACTOR AND HIS STORY, HE JUST RATTLED OFF HIS STORY ONE DAY TO
ME. IT INSPIRED ME TO TRY.
AND I THOUGHT YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES WE HEAR ABOUT
PEOPLE'S BIG SUCCESSES. AND I GUESS THAT CAN INSPIRE A
LOT OF PEOPLE BUT FOR ME THAT WAS KIND OF INTIMIDATING.
BUT TO HEAR SOMEBODY TELL THE LIFE OF UPS AND DOWNS, THAT'S
WHAT INSPIRED ME, AND THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH
YOUNG PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SURVIVE THE DOWNS AND YOU KEEP
GOING AND KEEP INVENTING NEW THINGS TO DO.
AND FINDING NEW SHOWS TO BE IN, AND WAYS TO PRESENT YOURSELF.
AND YOU CAN HAVE SOME GREAT, A GREAT CAREER THAT WAY.
>> James: AND YOU REALLY, REALLY CAN.
IT'S SO WONDERFUL. NOW WE ARE TALKING OF LOOKING
BACK, WE FOUND A PHOTO OF YOU, EDI, LOOK AT THIS, SWEET
YOUNG. >> LOOK AT THAT.
>> James: I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS YOUNG GIRL
WAS OBSESSED WITH. SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU WERE
OBSESSED WITH AT THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE.
>> YES, RIGHT AROUND THEN AND THE SUBSEQUENT FEW YEARS I WAS
OBSESSED WITH REGIONAL WRESTLING WHICH FOR ME WAS HOUSTON
WRESTLING CALLED MID SOUTH WRESTLING.
I WAS SO, SO INTO IT. LIKE ONCE MY DAD TOOK ME FOR MY
BIRTHDAY. AND I MEAN I WAS THAT AGE,
PROBABLY, AND HE GOT REALLY GOOD SEATS ON THE THIRD ROW, AND
PACKSEL WAS FIGHTING A GUY NAMED DR. DEATH, A MATCH WHERE THERE
WAS A GLOVE AT THE TOP OF A POLE AND THE GLOVE HAD SPIKES IN IT
AND WHOEVER GOT TO THE SPIKED GLOVE COULD JUST BEAT THE HELL
OUT OF THE OTHER ONE. >> James: RIGHT.
>> THAT WAS THE RULES. AND SO THERE WAS ONE POINT
PACKSEL IS ON THE GROUND AND DR. DEATH IS CLIMBING THE POLE
AND I FULLY THOUGHT IT WAS REAL, IT WAS GOOD VERSUS EFITY. AND
SO I STOOD ON MY CHAIR AND I WAS STREAMING AT DR. DEATH, YOU WILL
FLOT WIN THIS, THAT IS A GOOD MAN.
AND HE TURNED AROUND, MID POLE AND STARTED SCREAMING AT THAT
GIRL, THAT LITTLE GIRL, AND MY DAD THOUGHT THAT WAS THE
FUNNIEST, FUNNIEST THING. AND LIKE FOREVER THAT WAS HIS
FAVORITE THING, DR. DEATH REALLY TRIED TO GIVE ME WHATEVER FOR.
AND I WISHED I COULD HAVE GONE IN AND FOUGHT HIM.
>> James: WELL, WHEN WE COME BACK, EDI IS GOING TO FIGHT
DR. DEATH RIGHT HERE IN THE STUDIO, DON'T GO ANYWHERE, COME
