I wanna have the fact that neuroscience is the science that explains consciousness in speech and degenerative conditions like it was just. It was all the things about the universe that i wanted to understand at that level. I actually left academia to be home with my children.

My mother was a A very Active anti war activist and This is sixty right. And i figured out somehow on my own philadelphia had no no theatrical. People in my family and i was probably about Fifteen and i hadn't. I hadn't graduate from high school yet I'd figured out a way somehow to get an audition for a little sort of like a commercial spot. Or whatever and i got it and it was a they were gonna pay me five hundred bucks or something like that which was outrageous and the spot was for Rotc and my mother got wind of it and she was furious and she said you can't do this. You absolutely can't go out and Be part of promoting You know young men joining the army. And i said if it's five hundred bucks and she didn't speak to me for you know week and to me.

"I know you have to go before we end our talk. We always end the show with seven quick questions. Okay they're generally ab- in a rough way to do is communication relating. What do you wish you really understood. What was i wish right now. Wish i really understood The cultural divide in america things like making vaccines politics turning pandemic into a political tool is is really baffling me at this point. How do you tell someone. They have their facts wrong. It's a really good question because the problem with the internet is that it's a great leveler in terms of facts. Because you can. Have you know a hundred thousand incredibly smart and talented and dedicated. Scientists for instance. Explain something scientific and one guy who's a part of your cousins right posts some complete bullshit and both of those things in the course of your day are probably going to be equally impactful. You know to you. That's what the internet us. And and so it makes it really really. It makes it difficult. I i i don't know and i get to the point where i go while i don't wanna give up on you know i don't think about people i don't wanna give up on on on on on change in elimination and And and truth but it it gets. It gets harder and harder to try to figure out ways to explain k. Change of pace for the next question. What's the strangest question anyone ever asked you. Well i would say it's kind of a question One time at the bacon brothers show a woman asked if we would sign her prosthetic leg wilted herds of braised visit. Yes absolutely and there's actually end up being a really caught a very touching and moving story that came from this in effect we've Methods woman and number type. She's come to a few shows. She was sick and in the hospital and had to have her leg agitated and really said specifically that she listened to the music to get her through and specifically to one song. And i can tell you as a songwriter. You know if anybody if you write a song and anybody says that it affected them at all and two wonderful story. Yeah yeah okay. How do you stop a compulsive talker We'll have you stopped me in you. Know rank is one year Let's see yet. Oh wow that is. That's a really good question. Oh my god. I can't tell you how many situations i bid where it's in the question. Suppose you know how to do it. I'm not sure rhino added do it. Either i don't know how to do because sometimes people get one a loop. I've tried in the past sort of like reverse psychology and sorta taken the approach of saying. Well tell me more about that. That's interesting approach did it. Every i've tried it. No it doesn't work it off in double or triple double trip. The america creative idea like that okay. Let's say you're sitting at a dinner table at dinner party sitting next to someone who you don't know. How do you strike up a genuine conversation with that person. Oh i i'm i am very very good and very interested in hearing about people and i will say aware you from tell me about your family and most people are pretty ready to to eventually go deep in. I i enjoy that. I i i really do. I know that with the cure Whenever we're with couples. The surefire goto conversation starter is. How did you guys meet. Sometimes breaks bad what well like well. They immediately see that they have different versions of the fact that they have these different versions makes them increasingly more annoyed with each other. There's been a couple of times when we thought okay. I give these guys. Three months tops. I do only because we ask that question. That's funny you got. You got the rolling on the wrong with the f. What gives you confidence. Oh i don't really know where my confidence comes from. I think that if i knew i would be able to tap into it and turn it on like a switch. There's two ways of looking at Confidence confidence in one one is it's just Cockiness you know. I think that certainly as a young man. I had a lot of that But it wanes daily. You know and i have to figure out a way to get it back but i don't really know exactly how i access it very interesting answer and i can identify with a lot of that last question. What book changed your life. You know it's it's it's. It's funny. But i i wrote a book which probably by today's standards would be looked down upon. I would probably have to read it again but it was the book iron john. I don't know that what is it. It was a book about men in a book about was kind of leaning. It was sort of like a post feminist book. Kind of leading into the idea that The industrial revolution destroyed The idea of apprenticeship which was an important part of becoming a man a A rite of passage. The we add that that once the industrial revolution went away. People started moving away moving away from home. Men were really going through a a rite of passage anymore than book. Talks a lot about the existence of different mythological tropes about Manhood but one of the things that i always remember from the book was that in mythology. There is this idea that the prince always has to steal the key from underneath. The queen is mothers of bet in that the key yes sneak in at night in reach under the bed without waking up his mother and steel this key. That's going to unlock. You know the golden box or whatever it wasn't it's something that this gets repeated again and again and again at all these mythological stories and that is the fundamental breaking away of The the the apron strings. And i never heard that myth..

"I would ask them to be more specific. What type of publisher so that actually could get to a place of helping them instead of just saying oh. I don't know anyone can help you and many of us. I wanna talk about this last point because you you brought this up a good or great follow. Upper many of us think connection is just walk into a room have a great conversation and then magically the other person's going to be in our life and things are going to be great. That's actually not how it works. The follow up is key. It's actually crucial. Especially if you think about large events where people are meeting lots of other people if you're not following up your sacrificing all of your effort and energy and just showing up and having great conversations so as we end this. What are your favorite. Follow up tips to become more effective at actually staying top mine and ensuring that we get to a place of connecting with the great conversations that we're having first of all as soon as you human recap. I mean again whether we're in an online meeting. You can do it before you get to the next meeting if it's possible if you're at nabet second you get home because we again no what happens when we put things off. That's not always possible. That is number one number two. Take notes when you meet someone or take notes right after. And sometimes i go so far. Take a photo of them not not share obviously on on social media but just so that i can remember and then i make a little note With with it again. I i sound like i'm enough person. I'm not but if i want to have a meaningful follow up. I need to remember the person's cry. You know getting years so my memory quite is quite what it used to be but the the thing is is mentioned something that you talked about. Remind the person that you saw them that you heard them that you listen to them and when you mentioned something that they talked about or a challenge that they face that is that is something. That bike says the breadcrumbs in motion. And of course. If you said you were going to do something like introduce them to somebody or you know. You mentioned the nonprofit that you thought they might have interest in supporting follow up with that. Okay you don't have to doesn't have to be perfect. Doesn't have to be fourteen pages long and it can be last. I have one more like to ask people how they like to receive is it via email is via taxed. Is it via whatsapp. Is it a dea. And i mean the menu is lengthy so to me. Sometimes that is very respectful to ass and again if you want to continue the reciprocity you wanna meet people where they are certainly an answer. We we needed a follow up. Probably one of the most difficult for people because they they have too many questions about how they're going to do it and by asking how do you want. how do you wanna receive incredibly important. We all have our favorite technologies our favorite platforms our favorite ways of community communication. And in fact. I can't even keep up with them. All at this point specificity. I i love it. Because again the the more concrete and clear we can be not only in our communication but in the other communication. That's coming in our direction. The more helpful we can be. And naturally the connections that will fall out of that. We love asking every guest. What their x factor is. What makes you extraordinary. What is your secret sauce guys now. The answers serial connector. That's right. I will even go so far. And you're gonna laugh but i know kevin bacon. We don't need steps to you. Know just cut through five of them.

"Something you'd said which i thought was great because it's honest which in a way that not everyone would be but i believe that this is how everyone who came up with you and probably for twenty thirty years. After you would have felt quote. There was a time in my life. An agent of mine had mentioned. tv series. I would have fired them. I guarantee it. Close quote absolutely absolutely it. Was you just never even talked about it because because i came up at a time when and this is nothing against all the so many great actors so many great television series that i loved and watch him. And i'm not even gonna try to go into the the the the list of of of series but you were either. Tv accurate warranty. The actor the couple people that sorta you know kind of crossover a little bit but but when it came to my point of view i was. I would be thrilled being paid. Absolutely nothing in the dank est you know shittiest off broadway theatre or do a movie right but television series not i mean. They came to me with that animal house. Tv series along back in the day they were offering more money than i ever dreamed of ever dreamed up and it was a seven year contract. Of course. that's what all the contracts were. I opted out of that to do. Two weeks in a theater in a in an apartment building was a two week showcase and i literally had three months and i was like i can't do i can't do. I can't go to ally. It can't be part of the animal house series. So when i finally threw my hat in the ring honestly within a week i read three of the best pilot scripts best scripts that i'd ever read. That's a fucking great character. That is such a cool idea. That's another cruel thing. And i was like you know schmuck what you've been waiting for In some ways. I feel like i. Was you know kinda late. Well i mean the you've you've made for last time because from twenty thirteen twenty. Fifteen was the following than i love. Dick twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen a movie or a situation. That obviously was weird. Because here it huge at sundance you got a golden globe nomination but in between the cancel the frigging show That's that's one of the oddities of tv as you just never know i guess but here we now find ourselves starting in two thousand nineteen with this great character. Jackie on city on a hill. Which you've played your share of fbi agents over the years but this is a guy unlike and your sheriff boston. Here's you know we think about black mask and patriots day and all but this is a guy that is a lot. I would think unlike anybody you come across before. Is that fair to say as fair to say yeah. I mean when you adore Character acting in the way that i do. When you pick up the script you think yourself his this guy going to be different than the than it at least in the last three guys that i've read even if it's going to go back a few years at least the last three got an and i read this. First speech of jackie's just went. Wow this is what what a voice that the you know. this guy. Hasn't that chuck mclain had Created and sometimes you got to reach for discovering what i call. The voice of the character voices the character. There's a lot of stuff that goes into in my mind with the voices. It's the way the character moves. It's the where our he's from. That's the way he looks. It's it's the accent it's the rhythm it's the music you know. Sometimes you go on a journey to figure that out you say well this is a really good scripted. It's a good part in the in. The writing is good. But i don't quite hear it yet In in in sometimes can city on a hill. I was like i hear i saw him. It's like it's like He was gonna play himself. Anybody's not acquainted with the yet. We should just say this guy is a real piece of work. I mean he is verbose he has a d. You know addiction issues. he has He's corrupt he's sleazy but at the end of the day he's got to work with one guy in particular played by holiday really got into no and like a lot in the last couple of years and it's doing great stuff but like you know in some ways as polar opposite right. Yeah yeah polar opposite. Yeah and yet. They are strangely to each other you know. We've we've kind of talked about it but there's something i keep thinking. Jackie muslim needs something from. It's not just that he wants to you. Know go to battle with democracy He does any any elects to get you know a bugging and he likes it when of course he pushes back against them. He's like but but he's also drawn to because i think it it That that character feeds him in some kind of way if it's like Youth or or it's or it's maybe even Jackie somebody that has absolutely no scruples. And no kind of a higher purpose or worldview. He's very like you know. What can i get out of today. You know how can i. But how much can i get. And what can i walk away with. Whether it's coke or women are or power whatever and of course see has a higher purpose you know. Sometimes it gets corrupted by jack. You're whatever but he does have. He does have a higher kind of a moral idea. And and idealism. And i think that there's something about that. The jackie's envious of which which draws him like a moth to a flame back to back to the character of democracy. I'm trying to remember the episode. Count that you guys have each season. What how many would you say. How many is it. The these two seasons We did Ten and then. We did eight this last season and our thirties. And we're doing it. And the reason i bring this up is just that. I think you know we've been. I've been doing column recently. About the fact. I think another thing that has made. Tv may be more appealing to you. Know great folks like you who had made their name in film and now we're considering it is that when you had to do as was the case exclusively maybe twenty years ago if you had to. Tv you're doing twenty four episodes. Let's say a season you also when you on a showtime or something. You have to hold back what you can say show in do and all that here. It's almost just a a law. It's certainly obviously a larger canvas than making a movie. So you can t pay said and do it do a story more thoroughly but without feeling like you have to stretch it. Almost too much and fell with filler. I think twenty four. If you had to do twenty four episodes of this or any any other show a season. You probably go nuts right well. A somebody reminded me of the day..

"And you know it just shows to go you know you. There were a lot of people in there and a lot of great performances and Yeah i just think it reframed reframed people's way it's not just me making the choice right it's also It's also the way that like people reframe so they went okay as you said you know. He'll he can do a small part and we'll give more character role. And and that's what i've always wanted. You know going back to what you're talking about with dustin. You know mean yeah. He was a lead in in both of those movies But those were characters they weren't they weren't The fresh faced guy the guy or the guy with the gun or the guy with the funny guy you know and you know what else i think. Seems like it's a testament to you and the fact that people were noticing that you were doing something different a lot of these people in that era. Whether it's reiner or ron howard. These are fellow actors as well. Who were who are casting you right. So maybe they're seeing it on a different level than others even would have had very good success with my fellow actors between iran and rob and clint. Now i love it. I love working with actors. Yeah a quick aside. That i must address and i'm sure have comes up in every frigging conversation. You've ever had with a journalist. But i i just want to get to the bottom of. I believe it's ninety. Four in the midst of this whole revel revival of kevin bacon that you've got three geeks at at a university in pennsylvania. drunk watching footloose. And what's your understanding of. What how how it evolved from there. I other than that. I don't really know other than they. just serve. started to talk to their friends about it. And then their friends would talk to their friends and it was a pre viral viral. You know really. I made it was it was pre internet viral. It just wasn't really. There was some internet stuff. But you know it was it just kind of took off and people started talking to me about it talking about six degrees and they tell me that they were playing the game and the abbey like i don't know what the game is and and Yeah you you weren't immediately that into it. No no i wasn't into it at all I you know. I heard howard stern talking about it and and the and and then i heard it was going to be on the jon stewart. Show and and. I don't know you know i i just thought it was a joke at my expense But that's just a listen to eat out actors. We have a we have a little bit of insecurity around being discovered as being of being a fraud and that kind of way or at least at least the good ones do so when i finally met the guys at sort of was like okay. They're the they're not they're not doing it to to Make fun of me. They actually like some of the movies. And so i got my head around him. Yeah it seems like there was a very clear evolution in maybe the early twenty first century. Here where everyone's attitudes towards tv including a lot of actors attitudes towards tv changed significantly. As i don't think it's coincidentally that it was basically concurrent with the mid range budget movie going away..

"I can get over that. I can't get that still talking about jesus. Christ what is it like one hundred years ago. Now i found i found. I found people that. I've got enough. People thought i was cool. So as you say you go back to life right after that. It's not like it was suddenly explosion of of screen offers right away back to i guess waiting tables or whatever for a couple more years of where it seems like a few more years of pop up in a movie once in a while like a like a friday the thirteenth where you might get killed off in the way. But it wasn't gonna change your your lifelock or some off broadway where you were getting great responses. I think you want to be in that period but again it may who knows who's paying attention in the on the hollywood side of things so was was the fact that diner then the next big thing comes along like four years later. Was that the result of any specific other thing or was it just another freak almost accident as an accident a man. It was an accident and what was what was important to me about diner. Was that as you said i was. doing allows theater doing great. You know enjoying that very tough to a rub two nickels together. When you're off. Broadway or off broadway but i was on i had a. I had a year long contract on the guiding light playing him. The teenage alcoholic and that contract was ending and they wanted to me. Of course the idea of having steady work and then also being able to do theater at night was like really really track and you know he was going to be a raise and You know it was it in my experience with money in a lot of money for me on the internet at at the time. But i just didn't feel like i wanted to keep doing that and i was like. I think i'd rather go back to waiting tables and see if i can move off of soap operas because there were a lot of people that i knew who were on that show who had been on the show really really long time and you know you you use yukon. Go and you you know you. You're on there for a few years and then you buy the house. And then that's you know what i mean so i quit and i was sitting there for two weeks growing on my home. I made the right decision and then about two weeks later. I got the audition for diner. I think that was the point after diner her I didn't go back to waiting tables. And but i would i would add. I would add. That died are didn't blow things open for me diner while people people don't really remember this was a critical success for sure has championed by pauline kale. Few other critics but the indian didn't want to release and Was not the movie that they'd set out to make. They really wanted to make something a little as much more animal house. And you know it was. It didn't do a lot of business. So.

"But i definitely had a A willing audience from day. One and i'm also On the youngest but by a lot of years by eight years there was a big gap so it was interesting because they a lot of them left the house before we go by the time. I was little a lot. Some of my brothers and sisters. I never really lived with. I have no memory of really living with that because they were gonna in my house. We tend to leave. You know usually around sixteen. I think everybody pretty much checked out at sixteen in terms of my parents. I think that for sure my father's success and his celebrity which he was very very Into you know what i mean like. He would bring home articles. That were the paper about him. And all that. That definitely. I definitely had a strong impulse To become famous and to become more famous than him. Frankly and add to you know you know. Listen i mean people always say you know in some ways sons. Wanna get their father's ass. I mean that was the way that i kind of felt like i wanted to do it. My dad was Was very very powerful and well known in philadelphia. He was not a wealthy man Because he really worked on a city salary and raised six kids and you know put some of them through college. Not maybe put some of them through college. So it's not like he was a master of the universe but he was kind of like a master of his universe which was that philadelphia thing that people would stop him on the street and i was very aware of this. And they'd say hey ed ed what's going to happen with the you know the expressway or whatever. Now my mother on the other hand was also hugely influential on the because even though my parents weren't actors they were or artists or musicians.

"A lot of energy. Everything's hand-held running. Shoot over here yet. An interesting first season we saw that he kind of pushed the limits of everything. He does and even kind of compromise. His morals a little bit too and here is season. Two with kevin. Bacon on ryan hardy. Great we were here last year for you. Also thanks for shown up well after two after what ryan went through you kidding well you know. I don't think it's like a practical joke right i we get along. Great It's not set. Certainly not went on there where people are yelling and screaming and test off. I mean me occasionally but but nobody else Crew is incredible works very very hard and we were really quickly. I've never worked on. Anything works as quickly as it partly because of our director photography partly because of the nature of the cameras now not to get too technical and and and the way that we shoot it the whole thing handheld pretty much so for anywhere between fourteen to sometimes eighteen hours. The boys are holding these cameras on their shoulders. And we have the fluidity to kind of run and gun shoot. Grab things and and so. There's a real. There is an intensity to just because of the just just the energy certainly. I'm not one of those people that can go Listen You kill somebody or of stabbed you or or you know you. You're you're chasing about the died and turn off and hey whatever you know i can. I can do that to a certain extent. But i can't. I can't do it all the time. Sort of in that head space but That being said in our own way we do have a good time when the lights came on the on the on the room. Today i looked. And there's you know. Marcus got like fifteen seats. And there's people from the crew that on the day off on their long weekends we're off tomorrow actually came down to comecon to see like why i do that right because they dig it. They they they like. They like doing what they do. There is no job security here. You know Talk about if you wanted to. If you gotta show this got a lot of surprises. Kill me next year. And they not known see that yes sober. Teaching heart is doing better He's trying to move on move past. The death of clare trying to open himself up to family is involved with this His niece who is His brother is dead. was a fireman and his niece as a new york city cop and they have a are starting to kindle relationship which is kind of cool and interesting. Connie is someone that Is involved in the subway attack early on and i you know. Stick my nose in there again. Even though i'm not fbi. And i you know and they actually called me in to help with a little bit tilting. And i need her and i'm just like whoa okay And she is Dot dynamic Beautiful obviously and And you know in a in a way so different than me and and is that thing of being attracted to someone. That is really really different. She's speaks all these languages and she likes art. And you know all these things ryan said to him. I mean but that was funny kind of way similar to my relationship. Joe what about I mean i think another catalyst for him was the debt of agent parker. Absolutely i mean what how. How does that carry over into season. Two well i think that you know. Look here's the thing. Is that even before season. One began this guy and kevin williamson one. Line that to me early on maybe our first meeting he said this is a man whose life has been surrounded by death and i was like off to the races in terms of backstory. For stuff that you don't even see you know and and but eventually some of it made it into the into the season. There's more fi taught so stay. Tuned back on sci fi talk. I'm tony to letter. He believes that when people get close to him they die or they get hurt and so he's constantly constantly there and agent parkers a great example of that. You know on a personal note It's the nature of the beast. But it is. It's hard when people that you like and you work with your fond of and you're like their work happens all the time in show. It's well he's not a conventional hero for sure and And i think that we'll see you know. I mean the beginning of the season. He's definitely a lighter place. And and i can't imagine that it's going to stay there very long but i mean he pushed he really pushed it. I mean he did things that were very questionable. Because of the circumstances he went to a dark place. Yeah that's not going to change them. We go there again. Yeah so it's it's great. I mean i i you know. Show us fantastic actor and His character had a tremendous serve journey. Last year went from bright eyed bushy tailed. And you know sort of raw raw went down the rabbit hole and when you when you meet him this year i would say he's a little bit more in the place where ryan was last year. He's not but he's but he is certainly not doing great and And so like any other relationship. We get back together or see him again. Do we joined forces the we separate the all of these things will be kind of working out during the during the season. It's it's been great. You know i mean. I think that I i came to tell them at such amazing time for television. And i'm happy to be part of it. You know I still love movies. Just don't want wanna make movies and and the fifteen episodes seasons allows me to do that. I can i can get something else in but i'm such a consumer television now. And and i'm so happy to have the gate book i mean it's it's it's great and it's like i said you know the one of the best parts of sex just i'd love to act and just get to act so much. Just watch the just binge-watch broad church I like Or from black dot suitable luther Oh gosh you know. I mean all the killing you know. I'm sad that that's not coming back. You know everything. I mentioned that murdering later. Well let me just say that it is there. Is this kind of family theme. That's that's something that comes part of just kind of keep that in mind. What was it like to do. The phone calls with With joe that you know he would law you as good. Those are good some really good. It's good look part of the one of the great great parts about doing this thing was the opportunity to be working with james and just by nature of having split up. It's not too many times we were able to be together. There was one great scene in the middle of the year war paths crossed. Didn't get him you know. Hopefully we're gonna have a little bit more of that but the phone calls were great. I mean that's gotta.

Moving on to rebel wilson. Now rebel may have the secret to finding love. She says you just say yes to everyone before getting serious with her current boyfriend jacob bush rebel says there was a year when she dated anyone who asked her out. This is so funny. Because i went through this phase so okay i was basically at a point where i was like hung up on my accent i was saying no to everybody and i felt like nobody was right and i was single for such a long time that i think i'd put up these walls and i finally told myself you know what forget it like. I need to be more open minded. I'm clearly not falling in love. Because i'm not letting myself and so i did that. I said yes to like anyone who asked me out. And it was such a mess of a year But the by the end. I dig into a relationship. The relationship lasted. But whatever. I did it i did it and it got me out of that back home. That like place. Where i was where i was just. I think sometimes when you're single for so long almost get too picky. Yes to like. You're just like well. I only want the best and you do deserve only the best but you also can't walk into a date every time and and see a guy right in front of you and tom has to face masks on and we freaked out. I did something like this. That was very similar. And then i realized that because i was single for so long you forget how to date so i started saying yes to every day now. That many came around but every day that came my way just for the practice of it all but then i realized that people have not heard emily post. They have no idea with date. Decorum is ask them on a date to dinner. Don't pick the most expensive place and don't let me whip out my credit card. Don't let me use it. Oh oh my god. I'd slip out the back door getting i mean you have to expect. You're gonna have a few bad dates cores. The good dates situation. But i think it's really good for you.

Why The 'Kevin Bacon' Factor Is Key To Understanding How COVID Spread In Nursing Homes
"In March, when the corona virus began racing through nursing homes. The federal government banned visitors. But Corona virus infections kept spreading. Professor Keith Chen tried to figure out why the people who we can infer work in this nursing home what other nursing homes do they work at Chen Study used anonymous cell phone data to help see the movements of people into and out of nursing homes. The data showed a lot of nursing home workers are like Martha working at more than one when you learned that over 20 of your workers are also spending time in other nursing homes, that should be a real red flag. Chen and his team found that on average, each nursing home is connected to seven other nursing homes. I also found the more shared workers. A nursing home had the more cove in 19 infections among the patients. Professor ELISA Long also worked on the study. There are some facilities In Florida in New Jersey, where they're sharing upwards of 50 to 100 workers again. This is over on 11 Week time period, but that's a huge number of individuals that are moving between these facilities. All of these are potential sources of coded transmission. The California Association of Health Facilities represents most nursing homes in the state. In response to the study, the group said they can't prevent workers like Martha Ta Pia from taking jobs elsewhere, and they can't pay them more because California doesn't pay them enough through Medicaid. But Mike Dark doesn't buy that argument. He's an attorney that works on nursing home reform. And he says the state already tried paying nursing homes more in 2006, that money tends to go into the pockets of the executives and the administrators who run these places. Instead, he says, regulators need to focus on the basics, especially in the roughly 100, California nursing homes with ongoing outbreaks. Right now there's poor access to peopie. There is still erratic. Compliance with things like hand washing requirements, and it's not just patients who are at risk.
