Thanks to our return to standard time during the night. Most of you got an extra hour to sleep. Nice, sure, but nothing like the lengthy slumber enjoyed by some burly creatures snug in their layers as Connor nine will explain the past few months, bears have been on the pounds getting ready for their annual self-imposed self warranty so cool. Washington State University scientists study the mysteries of hibernation underneath all of that fat might be everything from diabetes treatments to tools for space travel, a long winter's nap had on Sunday morning from Verizon to one of the greatest comic legends of our time. His name is Bob Newhart and he's talking this morning with our Ben Mankiewicz hello Bob Newhart had not one but two TV shows name for not that for an account there was no government never referred book laughs and a few surprises. That's all right trailblazing goal late on Sunday and then we consider a question of mind over matters those matters being the daily challenges of living with covert and the emotional toll it's taking Susan Spencer consult the experts from hoarding hand sanitizer to living in a lockdown. The battle for our physical health is doing a number on our mental health. It's not too exaggerated to say that this could be a second pandemic mental health now. That's what a lot of us are expecting all over the world feeling a little anxious lately. I had on Sunday morning. David Pogue watches the big move chassis made toward crowd appeal Lee Cowan looks back on the life of Sean Connery. The very first James Bond in the movies. Morocco remembers the first lady who many consider first among equals faith saline meets a Boner who puts no-shows to shame along with Steve Hartman and more on this Sunday morning, 1 November 2020 will be back in a moment, much as we humans may welcome any chance to sleep in, where practically insomniacs compared to animals that hibernate is a curious phenomenon, that's beginning to yield some of its secrets. Here's our Connor Knighton's fall By national Park in Alaska like one of those conveyor belt sushi restaurants during the summer months. Diners are treated to E's endless supply of sand this summer. The alpha of omega-3 consumption was better known as 747, the recent winner of My annual online that there week contest jumbo jet size 747 is estimated to be 1400 pounds, but of course all those pounds serve a purpose, bears have an enormous appetite is virtually unstoppable and they will eat and eat and eat to gain that fat mass to survive hibernation. Michael Jansen is a professor of integrative physiology and neuroscience at Washington State University, home to the countries only dedicated bear research center located in Pullman, Washington. The center houses 11 grizzlies these big mammals on campus are helping scientists unlock some of hibernation's mystery, but first clear up a hibernation misconception was going on through the common cartoon concept of hibernation goals bears going to sleep.

November waking up for the first time in spring and spring have to that actually don't sleep all the time. They have fairly regular sleep-wake pattern and and they will get up in the den, they might stretch a little bit pregnant females give birth and nurse their cubs during hibernation. The more fat a mom puts on going into the den bigger, the cubs are that are born in the markup she can produce scientists don't fully understand how bears can get so heavy yet stay relatively healthy bears eat a ton get fat. Don't get diabetes exactly right.

They exhibit some of the signs that type II diabetics exhibit but then all of that reverses itself, but WSU fat cells are analyzed for clues about how the Bears beat diabetes grad student Hannah Hafner believes the answers could have implications far beyond the pale. Hopefully what I'm doing with all that works in developing treatments for this document met about a treatment for type II diabetes may be hiding in hibernation. And if we humans could ever find a way to lower our own metabolic rate the same way that bears do guys longer be as limited to the first time being put into hyphenation before the project in 2001 a space Odyssey. Some of the crew goes into hibernation to conserve water in route to Jupiter Jansen. It's not that far-fetched. Even lowering our metabolic rates by a few percentage points would have a huge benefit to the amount of stuff you simply had to carry on the spacecraft.

Although so much snoozing would present its own set of challenges. Humans that would be laying down for six months would lose a tremendous amount of bone Bears aren't losing bone mass not becoming osteoporotic like like humans would why nobody really knows the WSU center opened in 1986 help answer those types of questions grizzlies either come from the greater Yellowstone region where encounters with humans of put them at risk for being put down or they were born on site since the researchers controlled the diet they start shrinking the portions of the fall to mimic what would be happening in the wild.

It's mostly a mix of kibble and apples with one occasional tricked they will do almost anything for a large bolus of honey regrets the barrister type that's true about a thing as regular that's true. They love money they love honey for a few squirts of honey. The Bears kick out there pause for a final three hibernation blood draw will be examined again in April, but for the next several months. It's pretty hands-off be monitored on camera while they lays around with so much uncertainty in our world from the pandemic politics. It's hard not to be a little envious of hibernate or's for humans. It's bound to be a challenging winter, but for the Bears will be a blur, essentially to skip it all curled up in their dens awaiting a sunnier spring.

It's the challenge of our coven times assert your mind over matters of health and work and family and more.

Not surprisingly, it's a challenge that stressing a lot of us out. Susan Spencer can tell us when it comes to wearing a mask, Seattle writer Wendy sparrow was way ahead of the curve. I've been wearing a mask during flu season for an allergy season for like years and people would look at me when I walk into a store and they would stare at me, masks and hand sanitizer. Both are part of sparrow's lifelong mental health battle with OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder. I plan for all the worst things that could happen. I have first aid kit everywhere.

I have like multiple lands in my house first aid kits. Yes, first aid kits, I mean somebody get their head lopped off and I can just probably get it back on with the first aid kit. I have around you described yourself as suffering from something called contamination phobia.

Can you explain what exactly that is as far as like germs go up until I can see somebody like sneeze or something. I'm usually okay with that.

I don't go to hazmat levels of cleaning and less somebody is sick and then I lose my mind. She's been accused of overreacting for as long as she can remember until coated 19 came along one of my friends online, commented to me the other day and she is how to build to have mask wearing normalized finally and I was just like I'm knocking it stared out anymore, but as gratifying as you might think that would be. She says the pandemic actually has made her OCD works much harder to control is an habit and stuff like that when you are genuinely you know at risk for these things I how do you tell yourself know that that's too much hand sanitizer when I this point there's no such thing as too much hand sanitizer mental health right you and I think it's only getting worse.

You don't think the worst is over all know the way to worst is yet to come in terms of mental health Dr. Vivian Pender is President-elect of the American psychiatric Association is the tremendous degree morning for all the lost people and lost opportunities and lost dreams and hopes that she says the pandemic is aggravating mental illness among those already battling it and taking a toll on the rest of us to anxiety always rises in the face of uncertainty and were living in very uncertain times. More than half of American adults say their mental health has suffered because of the pandemic prescriptions for antidepressants shot up 14%. After the initial outbreak. You could argue that given all that's going on. Having a mental health issue is just a normal reaction, absolutely. And so what we really have to be careful of them are talking about mental health. During this time is with an actual anxiety or depressive disorder, and what is just the stress response that makes sense, given how certain the world feels Atlanta psychiatrist Dr. Sara Vinson says her days are packed with returning patients and first-timers concerned there's something seriously wrong. How do you know when you should really worry about it. A big thing that differentiates distorted typical stress versus any disorder is actually impairment is getting in your way is making it difficult or impossible event for you to do your work, fulfill your responsibilities in your household sleep at night continues for weeks at a time and that's when you should think maybe this is more than just the stress response. Dr. Vincent splits her time between private practice and a public clinic where unfortunately business is booming. If I wanted to try to make an appointment. How long would it take me a waitlist at the county clinic is around three or four weeks so if someone is having a serious mental health issue. It's going to take weeks to see anybody unless they go to an urgent care thing because the people that we already have are taking up more of my time across the country long waits are standard fare, due mostly.

Dr. Pender says to a lack of money and a chronic shortage of providers mental health services have been underfunded for a long time and you still underfunded. One recent study found more than half of behavioral health organizations have closed programs due to covert, 19 while 65% have had to reschedule or turn away patients, all of which affect some groups more than others. How do you evaluate the entire mental health system in terms of meeting this challenge for people of color.

I would definitely probably give it D- if not F.

That's why I retired California schoolteacher Valerie Andrews recently launched a nonprofit for women of color facing mental health challenges. She's battled anxiety and OCD.

Her whole life but didn't get a diagnosis until she was well past 50. Do you sense of what treatment is available in the community today very little. There is no availability. If you don't have insurance, but most people too expensive or there's too much negativity around it or there's not enough people look like they own the talk to so all of those factors come into play like Wendy sparrow.

Andrew says the pandemic has aggravated her OCD, but even so, after the death of George Floyd. She managed to take a very big step. I went to our smart black lives matter.

March your OCD centers around a fear of getting sick and in a protester with hundreds thousands of people. I would've thought that would've been terrifying. It really was did double mask at the double Bluff carried my hand sanitizer with me. My daughter, who's in theirs was with me so we didn't stay long but it was important enough to get out there and have my boys heard and inspirational notes to which all of us in this covert, 19 struggle now can relate. There's always hope and I think the world needs to feel that right now, but also people with mental health issues. Even if you just like thinking, 20, 21, please get here already. There are better days ahead. This is going to be forever if you've ever considered taking up chassis, now's the time to make your move. David Pogue shows us why the pandemic reduced most professional sports to shadows of their former selves. But it's done wonders for one game. Maybe the last one you never guess it's chess a boom is taking poison just like we have never seen maybes of the Bobby Fisher days and it's happening all because the pandemic is driven people indoors and they're looking for something incredible constructive educational to do.

Maurice Ashley is a chess grandmaster and a commentator for chess championships. People have the misconception that slow takes a long time. It's boring. Why would you want to watch the grass grow, but chess is not like that will not all time. It's definitely not like that in New York City's Washington Sq., Park.

We can play a pickup game for five bucks. Old-timers like David Solomon read he's been playing here for 40 years old to be the last line was the let's if there's a boom in chefs. They're not seeing you here, the players just aren't getting the same traffic they once did for fireballs for the valves are slow locked doors and allowed so now it's down to what on a good day all God's word all. So where's the boom you probably saw this coming, it's online by June 2020, the number of people joining chess.com had tripled from the previous year. The sign-ups grew by a million people a month as vice. One of the new members with graduate student Richard Hamilton. The idea is your your playing total strangers are the chess explosion isn't just people playing all my guys was beautiful native ever seen. It's also people watching around for over a thousand years and people are just starting to watch out explosive rates now as a teenager, Alexandra Botelho's 16 national titles in both Canada and the US today at 25 she makes a six-figure income playing chess live on twitch a website where you watch entertaining gamers play video and G3, but in the pandemic chess is one of twitch's fastest growing spectator sports very high-energy know you're yelling when you are excited. When you when people put back on the line and much more interactive and you feel like you're actually watching at one point you actually threatened to shave your eyebrows yeah get to be a good and I don't reach a certain rating goal in one month. I would shave off. She got to keep her eyebrows welcome everybody. I hope you're all ready to behave because we got CBS Sunday morning building things today and along the way she's amassed a huge following, about 200,000 people a day. Log on to watch her play chess over the bylines. I appreciate it. And a lot of them pay five dollars a month to support her channel becoming an online chess star requires more than good chest shops you have to multitask like crazy and crying like a little baby trash talk you joke for 6 to 8 hours of the time it's not traditional. The one for the bath are also incredibly credible and entertaining. On one hand, Maurice Ashley can't wait for the return of chess tournaments played in person. Chess players want to sit across the board. They want to see the poor there play they want to shake his want to go after the game and hang out and talk about what form that was maybe over the game within the mistakes then maybe go have a brewski but overall he's thrilled to see how the Internet has brought this ancient game to millions of new fans.

So this is pandemic bubble.

No bubble for chess, not at all. This is a pandemic rocketship that hesitatingly named all of America's first ladies. Roosevelt was truly a first among equals charting her own distinctive course both during and after her White House years maraca has her story. Ladies and gentlemen, most of my room.

About time Mrs. Alano 1960, the chairman of the board asked the first lady of the world. She had one word of encouragement for viewers of his Frank Sinatra ABC special that one would be just a moment now and I yes help high hopes those pie guy propelled Roosevelt to become a globetrotting humanitarian man and for 12 years, America's first lady emphasis on first she's the first First Lady to cross the country by her. She's the first First Lady to have press conferences and as David Mike Hamlisch chronicles in his new biography, published by Simon & Schuster of Viacom, CBS company Eleanor Roosevelt was also the first First Lady to write a daily newspaper column and host a weekly radio show their own paperwork out all the monikers titles assigned to her, which was the one that was her favorite.

She registered herself over and over again as homemaker or housewife that you were a genius. If you could make a home anywhere you were feeling at home with herself was a lifelong journey for Eleanor. She was born in 1884 into material wealth and emotional scarcity. She wasn't allowed to show fear she wasn't allowed to cry if she was upset she was told to go the bathroom, put her head over the tub and cry. There she adored her father, the brother of future Pres. Teddy Roosevelt, but he struggled with addiction. Her mother said to be the second most beautiful woman in New York openly mocked Eleanor for her serious demeanor calling the young girl Grammy. It was a way of saying not just you look old and sour. You look like something I don't want to be and I don't want my family that having to do with it was a real excommunication and what do well. She herself would say I wanted to sink into the floorboards orphaned at the age of nine she was engaged at 19 to her fifth cousin. The ambitious Franklin Delano Roosevelt what did Franklin see in Eleanor well for one thing, she was the president of Meath.

He worshiped Theodore Roosevelt meeting owner was the moment where he could say to himself by God are marrying that woman I'm going to be present. United States, myself.

The marriage would become one of history's great political partnerships.

She immediately feels useful, useful, and therefore loved and I think the great disconnect for them was in discovering that they could only be useful to each other but might not make each other happy as intimates, although they would have six children, Franklin would find romantic love with other women. Eleanor would seek intimacy with both men and women throughout Eleanor's life. She channeled her own hunger for affection and compassion and service to others.

She was a notice or of other people who didn't like to be noticed herself.

She would much prefer the attention to be on you and on her during World War I. While Franklin served as assistant secretary of the Navy. Eleanor visited Arlington national Cemetery daily to bear witness to the burials of fallen American soldiers if nobody turned up she felt obsolete with her duty to stand by that grave and to observe everything and thinking I begin every morning listening Delano Roosevelt because unit is able to connect sorrow and pain.

Country in its most sorrowful painful moments loss. It's what life is primarily based on the time Franklin was elected president he'd been stricken by polio. Eleanor became his eyes and ears going right to the source of the country's pain during the depression meeting minors in Appalachia challenging Southern Democrats to support antilynching legislation and during World War II visiting internment camps Japanese Americans were imprisoned simply because of their race.

She brought back the truth. He always trusted that she was going to give the truth that others might not. Or they might sugarcoat the First Lady was often alone at the wheel driving herself cross-country people looked into her eyes and saw somebody who was listening to them and was somehow seeing in ways that they maybe had never been seen.

She was letting you know that your government belong to you, but more importantly, you belong to your government and you had something to do. Democracy was a two-way street after Franklin died, Eleanor spent more time in this stone cottage at Bal kill New York longtime sanctuary, but she never retired, no nine, she hosted her own television show. Now in her 70s. She held forth with younger leaders like Sen. John F. Kennedy 70 million Americans substandard. It so happens that David Mike… Mother Diana Teague Michaelis worked on the program and a four-year-old David once met Mrs. Roosevelt.

I was trying to get a stick of gum off the First Lady off my mother's boss. She was fresh out of juicy fruit and that the memory what I took away and feel still is this feeling of a person from whom goodness was literally pouring forth from these eyes that were alive and radiant.

Where do you think that light comes from you comes out of fearlessness is finally a lack of fear of being who you are, so that you can be that person for millions of people a little Roosevelt died on November 7, 1962, mourned by millions the world over a once uncertain child of privilege turned global champion of the dispossessed. He must've wonder what would her message to people be today. Live your life imaginatively, excitingly, yourself, be the best possible version of yourself Walt while you're here it's knocking to be for very long. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put your mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or motor situations not being matched up with follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts now streaming progress and start wearing crazy time once final point is when there are people in the best way to protect good people is to convict final season Millstream.

It happened yesterday, word of the passing of Sean Connery with Lee Cowan we take a look at the six watching only James Bond you think the world was filled with maniacal, some would say Sean Connery was the bond released, except 0072. Secret was his ability to escape danger well dangerously swap the same time trying to be rescued was a Scottish accent or maybe it was a slight I just look at whatever it will never go when people magazine declared in the sexiest man alive is just shy of 60 years old, the same year he was playing Harrison Ford's father Indiana Jones and the last person this should those role wasn't playing bond.

He seemed to relish about like because yet is only Academy award came from playing a streetwise Irish cop in the Untouchables. He pulls a knife and what you eat and body Hollywood and yet the old regards the more he distanced himself from so far away except for some voiceover work. His last film appearance was in the league of extraordinary gentlemen, three years after night once said that more than anything else I'd like to be an old man with good face like Alfred Hitchcock or Picasso Sir Sean Connery's piercing, but welcome face. Shirley has match the years and will tens of millions of us have already voted in this election and Steve Hartman catches up with a few of them in a place rich with history, how grateful they must be the people, women mostly lock your hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York just to stand in her presence is really amazing like I wasn't just reading from a textbook anymore. I was with her.

I'm a bit ago came to the grave of Susan B.

Anthony, what has become a Rochester tradition showing the suffragist in a very tangible way that her work was not in vain.

After Anthony died in 1906, grave went mostly unnoticed until four years ago when about 10,000 people showed up to put their I voted stickers on her headstone adjuster. The key with unintended consequences. Unfortunately only residue of all that affection was damaging the marble so this year we covered her headstone with a Plexiglas leave, allowing for layers of tributes for generations to come. She works so hard life.

Sarah compared her daughter Clara. She died, not even knowing what happened were not to have children that'll take those next steps for us.

We don't educate now. Karen Reddy says we also need to educate a lot of adults like her. Yes. I haven't always been so passionate it's almost like we took it for granted were you in our car on the way, I can't believe I was so clueless for many parts of my life and now I am so passionate during our day at the gravesite.

We saw that passion take many forms, downright jubilation overwhelming emotion.

The only constant is the way people put on their stickers all with such tenderness is a throbbing liniment. The injustice, and it was healing, which is why I believe boating should always be a two-step process. First ballot, and then not all those who made the sacred right possible.

Just two days to go before America decides whether will know by Tuesday night exactly what we've decided is a very big question.

Maj. Garrett now on the outlook for TVs election night tradition. Father knows best and the Gary Moore show will not be seen tonight.

As CBS News brings you its nationwide election coverage election of the few remaining events with the entire nation gathers around the electronic campfire interrupting Ohio falls Bill Clinton to learn the nation's political together we could be in whether the winter is expected right of election has been reelected or expectations are upended.

There is no point in his hold on the front to concede watch because we are part of it. This presidential race is still not decided this is bigger than the Super Bowl bigger than the World Series presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin big differences. You may get completely caught up in the drama of those other sporting events. We are participants were not spectators in this 1952.

Set a new tone for election nights in the television age is a fabulous electronic chain CVS put out all the technological stops before the space-age was a well-known term. CBS introduced Remington Rand Univac is not a joke we think is going to work. It predicted the Knights winner. Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower was speaking that night or Eisenhower Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson resoundingly defeated gave the first nationally televised concession speech in American history and American) that that understanding of his possibility setting a tone I think that becomes an example for all the people concede. Afterwards, Sen. Obama and I had argued our differences and he is prevailed in those same things you hear throughout. We have fought the good fight and we we fought hard.

We come to an end. We accept this result, we will work together and once the decision is made, we unite behind the man select Florida goes Bush the presidency is Bush.

That's it. But not every election night has concession speech. Senior Gore aide confirmed Gore withdrawals concession that's bulletin winter with a B. Some elections don't even end on election night, about 10 minutes ago, VP did call the governor and retracted his concession.

We put Florida back in the undecided category. Like most people in the country. I went to bed with seeing on my TV showing the vote count in Florida woke up the next morning turn on my TV and realize that nothing to change and we still didn't have a president. Moments later Tallahassee attorney Barry Richard got a call from George W. Bush's team a lawsuit had been filed in Palm Beach County and Bush needed a lawyer and gentlemen I have with me this afternoon. Mr. Barry Richard of Tallahassee, Florida recount transfixed the nation.

If we don't figure out the count right on this voters who never heard of or thought about ballot design came to know about the butterfly variety. Some say when they went to select Gore mistakenly punched Buchanan what everybody knows about and hanging Chad Chad being punished only do you look at all is that enough/Barry Richard became one of the most recognized lawyers in America as soon as I stepped out of my office door reporters walking backwards in front went the confusion and chaos continued for 36 days, ending only when the United States Supreme Court handed down a 54 ruling stopping a hand recount of ballots in Florida sure George W. Bush when the state select course. Therefore, the presidency could what happened in Florida back then happened today.

This year, several states will count millions more mail-in ballots after November 3 and that could delay final results for a day or more already in excess of 400 lawsuits have been filed about election rules. Unlike in 2000. Lawyers for both campaign stand ready to fight over any perceived infraction, but for former Bush attorney Barry Richard that's not the biggest difference he sees between this year's election and the contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore never even was a consideration for this he wouldn't accept the ultimate results. Once they were no want to make sure the election is honest but I'm not sure Donald Trump as candidate and now Pres. is repeatedly used to say, if you would accept the results of an election. He did not. The only way to lose this election is the election is rigged to remember that back in 2000, just the Supreme Court's ruling five weeks as we have Al Gore addressed the nation just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States, and I promise them that I would call them back. This let there be no doubt while I strongly disagree with the court's decision. I accepted. I think it really did put to rest. What had been at that point in our modern history, the most populous election, Doris Kearns Goodwin says with a renewed winter on election night. A day or two later this year's losing candidate has a responsibility greater than any nominee in modern history to help fuel the nation, or at least try. The final responsibility that they have to bear the responsibilities that supporters responsibility to try to win this election, and now this larger responsibility is to help the country get through this moment and then finally to bring you closer to it.

And now my friends in a phrase I want to address others, it's time for me to go. Thank you and good night and God bless America think voting isn't worth the effort. Thanks Haley has someone she'd like you to meet. We meet here at this Manhattan bakery every weekend pays me. I love this. Everything a lifelong New Yorker is 104 years old.

Why do you think you just bad luck, she's a lot especially about politics past week people have had a lot to say about her. My family honor of escorting her to I posted to social media and the story viral. Very good.

I get people taking the my dad holding me this morning.

1916, four years before women even had the right to vote. My mother, who was one of the first elected to the New York City Council. Clearly, civic duty runs in her blood. So I think it was the second time that FDR read Ruth voted for Biden this year and cast her first ballot in 1936 in all.

She's voted for Pres. 22 times this year. She says is different. Father Obama in October and cast your vote. I could not keep up with what I was just not even cultivated could keep her home, says a lot since her own dad died in the 19/18 pandemic election may know never if you skip this one you going to deserve what you get. After passing it into cheers. Ruth sat down on her walker to cry really and she wants you to do it my all.

All yes votes. Are you okay just need some alone time. I think we is rolling elf helped make Bob Newhart a comedy legend and making us laugh or some 60 years now, more than enough reason for Ben Mankiewicz to pay him a visit. Do you know that you were profoundly influential not profoundly just influential that's taking this anymore. I am so sorry.

Will we start with a word of warning, try to Newhart is still making an impression or do you like a Colombo appreciate your time out 11 with ancient I spoke to Newhart last week LA home he shares with his wife Ginny. You're one of these typical Hollywood players woman after woman, how long you and Jerry 57. Why do you think that is left.

Something about laughter while the world has changed a great deal since he burst onto the scene in 1960. Bob Newhart seems not to have gotten the memo. He's been getting laughs, the same way he did at the start I do a television show. Some of you may have seen, apparently not too many. His original observation list jury looks like your dad's boss at the dealership but he's got a subversive streak delivered with perfect deadpan timing.

We were seen in Albuquerque on what they call a delayed broadcast at 2 o'clock in the morning and you may laugh, but we were the top in our timeslot stand up graduates include Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld born just outside of Chicago during the Great Depression, Newhart stammering style was no act that we talked as a shy kid with a wry wit how you know you're funny would tell me I was after serving in the Army. Newhart became an accountant accountant who wasn't good with numbers then run the government could never figure it out book still remembers these are not sound coming from, and that's when I decided to I had a kind of a strange theory of accountancy's failure became success. I had always felt if you got within two or three blocks of it big in 1960 UL button-down mind Bob Newhart 13 g shock album of the year you beat out to her vilifying Nat King Cole and Fred Frank later I don't think Frank was thrilled. Newhart's trademark is his cadence takes his time.

He pauses as those phone calls I is listening than talking with client Lincoln before the Gettysburg address. James was born 72 8787 wall routine. They want to put this your 1968. Lichen routine is gone. Preeminent pretty good yeah now that you bring it up all his only style perfectly on TV show psychologist Mary Suzanne yet. Going to bed you have another Saturday night one of the family match Mary Tyler Moore Newhart Carol Burnett. That was something burgers room we Super Bowl III networks have worked for them.

I still think appeared to have the best television marriage others we comes from one tell me that Amy Slater know it's not second show. Seasons with a plastic and the entire show was doing wasn't always the plan and show the way you know before both what is it indelible to people so thanks for the you really should wear more sweaters I raised, but Bob Newhart has legions of new things. The Big Bang Theory is really you, and also the back my I'm awake to show off the record, showcasing his greatest bids will be available for streaming.

You are still performing narcotic you still do try to make love that is for you there for an hour.
