I'm sitting with Don Rickles when I was a kid growing up one of the big events, probably the big television event in my life, and I would share this with my parents was at my brothers and Sisters is when you would appear on Johnny Carson Show as a guest.

Past simple

It was television, unlike anything I've seen before.

I don't think anything's Bend that funny since you had a great relationship with John.

It was a kind of guy, you know, as a zoo.

You people know Conan has some notes and they tell me what we might like to talk about so forth with Johnny.

We would do notes, and all of a sudden I come out on the notes, for instance, would say, Don't talk about the world's fair or whatever making it up and he would just turn around and say, How's your mother?

Which had nothing to do with anything, Right?

We do 10 5 minutes about our mothers, you know, and it was funny, and it was completely improvised and you could tell as if you were that things were going off the rails in a great way.

And he was the kind of got the major look good, you know, and you don't find that around too much anymore.

You also your best friend, and I find this a little incongruous.

Your best friend is Bob Newhart, I think, another genius and one of the great comedians of all time.

And I only say it's little incongruous because you're you're styles.

You're both extremely nice, decent people in real life.

Well, yeah, Bob's a a brainy kind of comedian, and I'm a kind of guy that gets laughs.

You you guys, you guys travel the way before 9 11, we traveled the world together, and the secret is which he always can't stand.

The secret is the new young people and you folks in the audience and I always know the secret is he always said, I always say the wives If the wives get along, the guys become great friends and that's the truth on Bob's Wife and my wife are like sisters.

They really are his friends on Bob is from the Midwest and I'm from New York and I always go, Hey, what do you say, sweetheart?

And Bob goes basically, I think Lincoln was a great man.

When we were in Paris, he reads The New York Times and I find out if the Dodgers air winning, you know what I'm saying.

But yet when we sit together, our values are the same.

We believe in the same basic things in life, and we have great times together.

For example, we go, we're in Munich, Germany, and Bar Boy says, No, no, no, don't Don't don't don't kid around.

This is Germany, and they lost the war and it z not funny.

Start walking down the street and I go way Don't don't, don't, don't, don't, don't e o We're going.

Then the way that comes over and says it, Would you care for the fish or the salad like we would like to sell it?

But then I give him his scotch and I have my vodka and we get over it.

Uh, key to a good friendship is a lot of booze, E.

After all, the I think really brilliant work you you've done on television.

Finally, you get your first Emmy, and if no one has deserved in any more than this man right here for you to get that, it's just a throw.

But thanks a za Matter of fact, it's It's two Emmys.

For the show, Mr Warmth, the Don Rickles projects and on my performance, I was delighted at 82 years of age and God has blessed me toe to come up with an Emmy and I on, you know, in life we all we all I wish that you you have a big family with your folks and so forth and on.

And I I said that night, even with the living in the kidding around, I I dreamed of my mother rest her soul, the to be there with me when I got it.

I really waas It was It was that she was a great influence on my career.

She wasn't that kind of woman, that kind of strong and aggressive, But she had a great she was sort of a Jew.

Yeah, but she didn't wear a helmet only on holiday Rickles Letters way.

He's here tonight, and David Ritz was a great friend.

This book is hilarious, and it's the holidays.

Go out by this book and give it is a gift by three of them.

Now, Don will be at the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino in Santa Fe, New Mexico, December 28th.

I cannot tell you what an honor and a thrill it is to have you come out on this show and talk to me.

When we first met, I was delighted to see how time has passed.

And you're still in there and still the top guy.
