The best of the city's best morning show in a small package. This is the Andrew Carter podcast. Don't miss the two-minute checkup with Dr. Mitch weekday mornings at 750.
Dr. Mitch, good morning and happy new year. Happy new year. I hope everyone is going to have a great start to a great year. Fingers crossed. It's better than 2024. Here here. I'll drink to that. All right. Mitch, speaking of a new year and a new beginning, you know, as we get older and live longer, more and more of us look at the potential or possibility of having a cataract surgery to improve our vision. So I thought I'd ask you about what should be considered before going ahead and having that done.
So it's really a function of age. Now you can have congenital cataracts, in other words, being born with it, and you can develop a cataract when you have trauma to the eye, an injury to the eye. A cataract basically means that the lens, instead of being clear, becomes cloudy. And as we age, especially with exposure to ultraviolet radiation, over time, it'll be accelerated if you're diabetic, it'll be accelerated if you have other issues, certain medications can cause it. You get clouding of this lens and you can't see this clearly.
The good news is we can repair that through a very, I don't want to minimize it. It's surgery. Yes, but it's very straightforward. And it's day surgery. And what they basically do is they make a small incision or a number of small incisions into the surface of the eye. They necessitate the eye and give you a medication to make you very calm, but you're awake. They mash up the lens, suck it out and put in a new lens and you're good. So it's really a function of age, almost everyone.
will develop some degree of cataract at some time uh... the procedure it's from what i understand is painless right and it doesn't take very long uh... i don't know to find pain i am told it is painless yes and i will assume that i'm certainly did they do anesthetize the eyes you don't feel anything they give you medication make you feel much more comfortable i've never heard anyone complain of pain during the procedure and it is it's day surgery it takes it's a very
Short procedure they watch you afterwards to make sure that you that you're doing okay, and then they send you home with an eyepatch And you have to protect the eye at night by putting a protector on so you don't inadvertently rub it or do something like that
And the healing can take anywhere from about four to six weeks. Is it the smart approach Mitch to do one eye at a time? Is that what people are doing? It's really up to you. I personally would do it that way because don't forget the eyes can be patched. And I don't know about you, but I'd like to be right. I'd like to be able to see and do things under certain circumstances. They will do both eyes together, but certainly just in terms of convenience for your lifestyle.
It might be better just to do one, let it recover, then do the other, once that you have a functional line, you can still bounce around and do things. Is there an advantage to delaying it? An example I have in my mind is, if you haven't done, let's say, at the age of 50, you could live another 35 or 40 years, and you only have one shot at this, right? You can't do it a second time. No, no, no, no. You can easily, they can replace the lens if necessary. Oh, no, no. If you need it, you need it, you do it.
You don't want to delay unnecessarily because that'll hamper your life and your vision and your ability to do things. So if you need it, you need it. Remember, it can only be done by a doctor. So it's an ophthalmologist, an eye doctor who specializes in surgery as opposed to an optometrist, which are great people and they're professionals, but they can't operate. So you need to be seen by an ophthalmologist, an eye doctor to have the surgery done. And they won't do the surgery if they don't have to. Number one,
And number two, if it needs to be redone, there's all sorts of, yeah, no, it's, I wouldn't worry about that at all. If you need it, you need it, you get it done. All right, very good. Always insightful and informative. Dr. Mitch, thank you again and all the best to you in the family in 2025. To you as well to everyone listening. This is the Andrew Carter podcast. Like what you hear, catch the show live Monday to Friday 5 30 tonight.
Andrew's home for the holidays. Ken, sitting in this morning on CJAD 800. Nice to have you up with us. Let me ask you a question. Are you at a stage in life, if you're still working, where you're starting to think about or making plans to retire? I'll tell you why I bring this up. I recently came across a headline about the topic, which offered this piece of advice. Before buying a new car, most people take it for a test drive. They should do the same for retirement.
So how exactly do you do that? Take the retired you out for a spin as it were. So I called up Arnie Zweig, who's portfolio manager, senior wealth advisor with Scoti McLeod, of course, regular on CJAD weekday mornings at 6.20. Arnie, good morning. Good morning, Ken. Say hello to 2025.
Where has the time gone? I'm telling you. Well, in the rear view mirror, but certainly this is going to be a great year. I'm cautiously optimistic for a great year. I'll take it. I'll take it. Arnie, I guess we'll start here. You could say there are two aspects to look at when it comes to retiring and enjoying it and living comfortably. One, of course, is financial, the obvious one. But I think you also have to take in how you spend your time is equally important, don't you think? Absolutely. And it was interesting, like your headline, you know,
whether it's a new car, a new home, or even a new pair of jeans. We usually have a chance to drive it, walk through it, or try it on before making the decision to buy. So think of retirement in the same way as that buying a car. Go for that test drive. Now, what does that actually mean or look like? So can I encourage our listeners to take a look, see what it looks like, feels like, what retirement life will really
be like. So as an experiment while you're still working, try living for a month or two on your expected retirement income. Maybe if you're fortunate enough and you can take a month off during the summer or whenever, maybe that's the time to do this experiment. So you'll need to do some math also because your clothing, transportation and food costs are going to change. But do this as an exercise.
It takes years of financial planning and calculations and this exercise will likely help determine whether your visions for activities and spending will work out. So a financial plan can is designed to focus the details on your expenses after the paycheck stops and how various assets generate this
income stream that will cover your costs for the rest of your life. So as part of the planning, you should write out what your day today life is going to look like in retirement. And this takes some real thought. Can where do you plan on living? Are you planning on traveling? Are you splitting your time between two locations, you know, in some southern locale during the winter months? You add up all these expenses.
and then you add up all your expected income from pensions and factor in any additional income. Many retirees are doing part-time jobs and then you look towards your savings to fund the balance. Now, hopefully you don't have any outstanding debt.
Those who do have to experiencing the way interest rates hurt their cash flow, certainly want to focus on debt repayment. Arnie, I guess coming up with this number, this number, like a monthly number of this expected budget, I guess it's a trial and air basis, right? You got to tweak it and sort of find that sweet spot and that comfortable spot as it were. Well, and it's all about being a bit realistic. When I take on a new client, I insist on doing a financial plan and it shows
that you're being serious to yourself. You have a vision of your future dreams. Will you be doing volunteer work? Will you be doing part-time work? Will you be joining a hobby group? Will you be golfing 50 rounds a year, Kent, and spending lots of time on the 19th hall? And what is all this cost? You know, the real key to this is understanding your cash flow requirements. And a lot of people don't understand.
where their paycheck goes at the end of the month. So certainly it's going to take some serious consideration to make all of this work.
With Arnie Zwege this morning, he's usually on with us weekly mornings at 6.20. We had him on here at this time to talk about retirement, give him a little more time. Arnie, let me just throw a couple of things at you that I guess a lot of people who retire are about to retire think of. There's that cloud in the distance, I guess, to consider. As we get older, the potential financial demand that there'll be on long-term care as our health starts to play a bigger factor in our lives.
Absolutely. And it's interesting you bring that up because when we do financial plans now, we use a life expectancy of 95. Okay. And so in theory, that means you're going to have a 30, 35 year retirement. So it really takes planning to manage that. Now, just because life expectancy is 95 doesn't mean you're in good health. And that's where
Uh, you have to have contingencies built into your financial plan. There. I said it again. You need to have a financial plan, but contingent. What about Arnie? What about housing? You know, uh, I don't know. Are people hanging on to their homes when they retire? Are they selling and downsizing and sort of enjoying or taking advantage of that money? It's interesting. If you're, uh, looking at the home as an asset, as opposed to a, a necessary place to lay your head,
It takes on different rules. So a lot of people what they do when they do their financial planning, they say, OK, I can stay in my, I want to stay in my home as long as possible. But at a certain point, that may not be feasible. So in the planning process, we say, OK, at age 80, at age 75, let's factor in selling the house and actually using the capital
to go to a residence and factoring that into the formula. Just as we wrap up, Arnie, I guess, you could say, from what you're telling me, it sounds like retirement, especially with our longer life expectancy. It's got to be looked at in stages, right? It's not just one and done when you turn 65. There are different facets to your retirement, especially if you're going to live an extra 25 or 30 years after you stop working. I couldn't have said it better myself. For our listeners also, people want to read up on this.
The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization, CIRO, has a great online guide to retirement planning and living, and I encourage all of our listeners to read it. I called the right guy. Arnie, thanks for this. Again, happy New Year, and we'll talk. How about tomorrow morning at 6.20? It sounds great looking forward to it. A power-packed version of the number one morning show in Montreal. If you're on the fly, this is the Andrew Carter podcast.
Happy holidays from the voice of Montreal. CJAD 800. In for Andrew Carter. Ken Connors. I will never forget the day I got on board of Titanic. There were so many people waiting to get on the ship that day. But Celine Dion, you just sang the theme song to the movie. You weren't actually on the Titanic. Or was I?
Sounds like fun. Titanic is sailing back sailing back to Montreal. In case you haven't heard the musical was a sold out smash a couple months ago at the Seagull Center. And it'll be back at the Seagull for another great run from February 2nd to the 16th. It's a retelling of the Titanic movie through the eyes of Celine Dion. A different take on the story of Jack and Rose. It's campy. It's silly. It's funny. The reviews have been great. The cast is terrific. Constant Bernard is in the cast playing Ruth, Rose's mother. And he's on the line for a phone chat.
constant. Good morning. Hey, good morning, Ken. Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. All right. How did you wind up in this production? Oh, my goodness. It just feels like the stars have aligned for me. Obviously, I auditioned for the role back almost like a year ago now back in March of 2024. And we went through two rounds of casting altogether for my role.
And yeah, it was just the right fit. As soon as I read the character description, I play Ruth, funnily enough, Rose's mother from the movie. If we remember, she's not a very kind lady. She's a little bit frustrated. And so I play her with high camp, obviously in drag.
And yeah, it was just the right fit and the right time in my career, I think, to play sort of that over-the-top character, which I'm no stranger to. How much fun are you having in this? Oh, my goodness. First of all, the cast is incredible. Incredible talent, vocally, and comedy-wise. And it's just every night we just get to go on stage and have a great laugh at the audience.
The amazing part, the amazing thing about playing this part is that there's a bit of improv in the middle, I have this huge monologue, and every night I just get to go off the rails just a little bit, just enough to keep the audience on their toes and take them along for the ride. You picked my interest with the Zimprov opportunity, so give me an example, like what, you drop in maybe a very current event, or how does that work?
Yeah, exactly. We might have heard of a famous Zoom call that happened between the Prime Minister and former Deputy Prime Minister that happened last December. I mean that in real time, I was commenting on that in the show.
It was a lot of fun, a lot of very surprised audience members. They love that. Of course, you read a headline in the morning and then at nighttime it's in the show. I mean, what's better than that? It's sort of like that little special moment that they get to live with us. They know that that show is specific to them.
They'll be able to say forever that, oh, I was at that show where that happened on that day, you know? Yeah. With constant Bernard, he plays Ruth, Rose's mother in T-10 Nick, which is coming back to the Seagull Center in February. Get your tickets. Just go to the Seagull Center website. Remind us a little bit about the character of Ruth Dewitt-Bucator and the type of woman and mom she is. This lady does not belong in steerage, right? No, absolutely not. She would never be caught dead in steerage.
Although she is one of the survivors from the movie, if you remember, she definitely got on that lifeboat.
Yes, she's a very stern feminist who wants Rose to marry this rich fiancee cow For money obviously since they've lost everything when the husband died So she's very frustrated in her life, but also sexually and we really lean into it in this show and
And like I said, there's this great monologue in the middle of the play where she sort of goes on this tirade about life not being fair for women. And ironically enough, the role is played by a man, which I think Ruth would be very, very mad at. Just to add to her frustration.
exactly tell me a bit about the uh... the very talented of local school back was playing uh... uh... mr kevel she's playing salin and she's uh... she's got uh... from what i understand because i've seen the show yet i'm going to the run in february but sometimes she just gives the audience a look and they crack up right
Yeah, absolutely. She's got Celine Dion's mannerisms down pat. I mean, she's been doing impersonations for many years now, and she grew up listening to Celine. So her voice herself, as Veronique, is very similar to Celine's voice. But it really is the small, tiny detail that she goes and she studied.
That's I think that those are the little Easter eggs that people can pick up on. Jason is one of the greatest performers that I've ever had the chance, the pleasure to share the stage with.
She is very, very kind and just very funny. She's funny in person. And the wonderful thing about Montreal audiences is that she gets to risk a little bit in French as well, which in Toronto obviously can't happen as much, but Montreal is for the most part will have a laugh.
will understand her little risks and infants. Just wrapping up with constant Bernard, he's part of the cast and the production of a T10-8, which is coming back to the sequel for another run in February. How much of a Celine Fenn worry before this happened?
Oh, I was one of the die pirates. That's why I, when I say that the stars really did align for me playing this role, I used to work on cruise ships, ironically enough. And I've seen fluently on multiple times in concert, mostly from the front row.
She's my diva. She's my idol and I'm so glad I get to sing her songs every night. How jazzy when she turned up at the Olympics wasn't an amazing and that big comeback in front of that crowd in that room? Oh my goodness. I feel like everyone we all were able to take like a collective breath of relief, you know, a sigh of relief. It was it was nice to see her in full form and I just love all those video clips that we see of her sort of like
maybe teasing a comeback. And I'm glad that her sense of humor never left her because I think that's why people love her. She's so genuine and so relatable. And even through everything she's gone through, her sense of humor is still there. And I think she would appreciate the show, to be honest, even though we make light a little bit of her cookiness.
You know what? I think she embraces her cookiness as well. It's part of her brand, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. Constant. The word of mouth has been fantastic, especially with the first run. And everyone seems to be loving it and recommending it. So I can't wait to see you on stage and have a great time in Toronto. Can't wait to see you back here in Montreal. Wonderful. Thank you so much. And we'll see you soon. This is the Andrew Carter podcast. Like what you hear, catch the show live Monday to Friday 5 30 to 9.
and good morning. Anna Maria Tosco is a clinical psychologist based here in Montreal. She also teaches at Champlain College. I've had her on the air for chat several times over the past seven or eight years.
She's also a wife and a mom of two girls, and she recently, I guess was about a month ago, posted something on Facebook that caught my eye. It was a story about what she experienced on a visit to her daughter's school, and she's on the phone to share what happened. Anna Maria, good morning.
Good morning, Ken. How are you doing? Good. Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. Yeah. Thanks for being brave enough to get up with me New Year's morning for a chat. Good for you. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about that. We're good. And I'm curious. So let's go back about a month ago. And you aren't your daughter's school, right? In her classroom, for one of those parent teacher interviews, right? That's right. Yeah. And which daughter? I'm walking. Um, my daughter, Callipi. She's my eldest. She's 10.
So pick it up from there. You're in for one of those, I guess, the, you know, check on her progress. How's she doing? And how did things happen here? So I'm walking into our classroom. The teacher guides me to her desk. She wants me to sit at all the teacher wanted us all to sit at our child's desk. So she brings me in. It's just her and I were sitting at my kid's desk and I glanced down and I spot a pile of notes. And then can I didn't know what they were once I realized what
what was going on. I almost cried in front of teacher. No joke, no joke. I was holding tears back. I had been writing kind of these goofy, silly notes, like words of encouragement, inside jokes, song lyrics, kind of sneaking them into her bag in the morning. And also, Ken, I got to tell you, we're a toilet humor family. So you can only imagine the kind of things I was writing. And I'm kind of horrified to realize who might have read them.
either way, she was keeping them. I thought she was going to look at them chuckle, roll their eyes, you know, and just throw them out. But she was hoarding them like treasure, you know. I was floored. I was floored. And the thing is, just because in that moment, you know, I guess also being a psychologist, I just was slapped in the face with
Oh my God, what does this symbolize for her? And my kid just happened to keep it, to keep them. But even if she had thrown them away, the idea of what that kind of thing can symbolize for a child. I was hypothesizing, oh gosh, like a reminder that she loved, a reminder to keep her chin up. You know, unknowing that her parents have her back. And even Kenneth, it was just comic relief in the middle of the day.
I'll take it. It's just so, so valuable. And there's a lot for parents to realize here. If you want to go to Emery's Facebook page, you had a great photo with the posting of this stack of little notes that she has scotch tape to the bottom of her desk. It was so sweet. What did your daughter have to say about saving them? Well, see, that's the thing. My daughter and everybody's child is different, but my daughter kind of expresses herself more with gestures and not necessarily with words.
So it was this was golden for me, Ken, because just having seen what she did had allowed me to understand the value in it. And it was so short sighted of me to not think that that kind of had value. But of course, it does. And not just for my kids, you know, for everybody, there's so much value here. Great reminder or an example of how you can never underestimate the little things in life, right? The small gestures that can have such a lasting impact on some of the special kids.
Exactly. And that's the thing, you know, I think now to my clients and the clients who come to see me, you know, worried, anxious, perfectionistic and, you know, trying to be sometimes flawless even about their parenting or experiencing inappropriate guilt when things go wrong. I've heard it all like just to give you some, you know, kind of general examples of what I might hear. It's my fault. My baby isn't getting enough breast milk. I'm not producing enough milk. It's my fault or it's my fault.
My son didn't get on the team. I should have signed him up earlier. It's my fault that I didn't teach my kids about money. That's why they're struggling. Now, caveat, I have teacher friends who are like, oh, gosh, I wish I wish parents took more responsibility. Of course, that's not the population of people I'm referring to here. People who come to see me are anxious or worried about not doing the right thing when they are actually doing everything they can with what they can. They're being decent.
And I learned way back now, and I did a dispatch at the Munchal General at an outpatient clinic, one of the psychiatrists who I really liked, told me, he's like, the research basically says that children can thrive with decent parenting, saying what you mean, active listening, offering encouragement.
apologizing when you're wrong. So when you're doing the best you can with what you have, you're being decent, you're being commonsensical, inappropriate guilt doesn't live here. It shouldn't live here. And PS, I've learned over the years that inappropriate guilt is what depression needs for breakfast.
So putting pressure on yourself, blaming yourself, like inappropriately for things that are out of control can really hurt you in the end. So we don't have to do parent Olympics, like you said, you know? Just a little thing. Just wrapping up with Annemarie Otasco clinical psychologist and mom and parent. And I've got about a minute here, Alefta. Annemarie, I didn't warn you, I was going to ask you about this, but did I also see a post of you singing recently online?
Oh my God, Ken, I can't believe you read there. Oh, yeah. And it's a form of therapy that you got involved with, right? Singing. It is. It is. I mean, and that's the thing I posted. I know everything's about psychology and the psychologist, but it's not just self-care, man. It's soul care. Yes. And when you can find those things that used to bring you joy when you were a kid, when life didn't get in the way, go back there. Ken, I can't tell you how many times I cry with my singing coach, my singing coaches. I'm bawling my doubt.
therapeutic. And so you're doing it on a regular basis? Oh, yes, sir. Very good. Well, you know what? I sing in the car all the time, not well, but it's like one of my little joys in life. I'm in the car driving and I put my songs on my playlist and I crank it up and I sing along with them. It's my happy place. I don't think I'm the only one who would pay good money to hear that, sir. Anna Maria, thank you for this. I want a sweet story and all the best to you in the family and all the best in 2025 as well. To you as well, Ken, Happy New Year.
A different look at the world of entertainment with John Moore. weekday mornings at 720. John Moore, brought to you by MontrealHandsurgery.com. Cure carpal tunnel syndrome in five minutes with board certified doctor Daniel Durand. Online and virtual consultation now available. From the voice of Montreal, CJAD 800.
in for Andrew Carter, Ken Connors. That was really beautiful. It was nice. And basically what happens is they do the countdown and then they flip it right into New York, New York, which I love. Let me tell you something.
It's just the greatest. Here we go. All right. I mean, if this is necessary. It is. Cheers. Hey, everybody. Thanks for hanging out with us. Yeah. Thanks for all the love. And I hope 2025 is everything you want it to be. I'm really hoping we don't get fired. Well, sweetie, I think I don't think you're going to get fired. I think you're good. I got a contract. I'm going back to Bravo. I'm going back to Bravo. That's cool.
Bill Anderson Cooper dreading the fact that Andy Cohen's handing him another shot to have and hoping he doesn't get fired from site. Yeah, he had quite a few particular shots. Anderson Cooper was pretty much gassed like after the first shot around nine o'clock or whenever it started. And Andy Cohen was Andy Cohen. Basically, very hysterical. Like they've been going on and on rambling though they do and in the rain and everything else. It's just madness.
Although interspersed were some nice bits with Sting, Shania Twain was on, and Mickey Geitan before the ball dropped did a match. Imagine, yeah, fabulous. And then they go into Sinatra's New York, New York, and all the rest. But scanning around the dial there was kind of interesting. Keith Urban did his Nashville thing with Chris Stapleton.
Terrific and as always in one of my favorite named act Trabuzzi was up there. And then of course he had Ryan Seacrest going all around the clock like doing what Ryan Seacrest does. There's a bit of a rivalry between Anderson Cooper and Andy Conan Ryan Seacrest. Oh, is that right? He's allowed to have umbrellas that appears this year. It changed. They were all out to have transparent umbrellas and there's a bit of a ruckus about that. And then on the on the radio candidate side, got a bit of awful man.
uh... which was very interesting they did a bit of going inside any co-dairs brain and then they went into a by-by and there were some quick bits about survivor come back with uh... truedo being uh... the survivor with dirt in his back and knives and everything else in here polyab but uh... sometimes all over the bad place yeah absolutely uh... bill uh... i'll watch anything at kait winslitz and and uh... she's teamed up with interest alba
Yeah, and this is a, this is a film that came like, I don't know, a couple of very few people thought of theaters. It never really played for any great period of time. And then suddenly it just emerged this week on Netflix. Interesting story. It's called The Mountain Between Us. And the two of them are strangers to begin with. Kate Winslet playing a journalist, a photojournalist. And I, Grisilba, playing a neurosurgeon. They're, they're stuck in
Idaho, they have to get to Denver to get connecting flights for her to get married for him to operate in Denver somewhere. So they decide to rent a plane together, piloted by Jeff Bridges, who has to have had the shortest role he's ever had about three minutes into the flight. He suffers a stroke and dice. This is like right off the top. So the plane crashes.
And they're way up high in the mountains of Utah trying to survive against all odds. And it's an interesting kind of wilderness survival tale. It's a love story. And they're both terrific actors. So you'll enjoy this if you're looking for a little romance and adventure and all the rest to them. We'll tell you what transpires.
elaborate or treat or play some very very key role at all of this because that's one of the dog was part of uh... the group and uh... boat bridges the stock so let's just say it's got an interesting ending very good all right that's called the uh... the mountain between us yes sir uh... what will tell me about this and a kind of project yeah this is in another film that was shot to get a lot of attention on the theater scene and uh...
just arrived on Netflix called Alice Darling, Anna Kendrick. And this was shot in Peterborough, by the way, also stars local Montreal actress, Dio Horn. And basically, this Anna Kendrick character is being very much like abused by her very psychologically needy boyfriend, a British guy, an artist, and all the rest. She goes off in vacation.
with their two best friends and try to get over this guy and he's just like threatening her at all times like having more in the mind than in the body but nonetheless it's very very powerful and very surprising to see like the the toronto and peter bro show up like in an american film as it does but uh... also very interesting story okay give me the title again
Alice darling Alice and by the way directed by a woman called Mary Nye you know Bill by the the Brit actor of actually the rest of the rock star in so many films anyway yeah nice nice film very cool Bill tell me about this documentary that I'm so looking forward to tonight I'm a huge fan Luther Vandross on CNN
Yeah, never too much, Luther never too much. And you mentioned earlier that you caught it. He only did one appearance in Montreal, a form way back when I missed that. But one of the most respected best voices ever, I think, on the R&B thing now, on the music scene in general, died way too young, 55, I believe. He suffered a stroke, had huge weight problems and all the rest.
But we were referring to those Grammy-great moments shows in the last week. Richard Marks, a lot of people credited Luther Vandross during those performances.
He gets his due here, eight o'clock dead on CNN, well worth catching. Yeah, I'm definitely going to be watching that. Bill Gail from Pierfoam just texted in and said she saw the the mountain between us and was absolutely fantastic. You'll enjoy it. All right. Yeah, Bill, that the Luther Vanger show at the form back in 1993, at the very last minute, Lorenae couldn't come with me. So I sat by myself and wept. I was fine with you, kid.
I didn't even know about that. It's so funny until after the fact. I mean, it wasn't heavily publicized or anything, but to put some context into this, he's so credited by so many artists. It was interesting, but Luther Vandross, he started off as a backup singer for Roberta Flack and sang a lot of jingles too. It made somebody that way too. And when she couldn't do a rehearsal session, she would do her voice.
which is no small feat, but to show you his range anyway. Spectacular performer. If you go on to YouTube and you Google Dick Cabot, sorry, David Bowie on Dick Cabot, you'll see David Bowie singing Young Americans and Luther Vandross is on stage with him singing the backing vocals. Wow. So he and Bowie had a pretty good friendship. Mariah Carey's on the special tonight. Yeah. Yeah, Richard. Very much loved.

Bill, what time did you hit the sack last night? It was like about 12, 30 years ago. All right. Well, thanks for getting up. And we did this last year as well. We gave you a bit of a break and you came on at 8.40 instead of 7.20. Well, no, you know what? You worked hard and I wanted to give you the extra hour. Thanks. I was up at 3.15 if anyone's asking. Bill, I think we'll go out with a bit of Luther. How's that? That sounds great, man. Thanks for this, my friend. And happy YouTube.
