1
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:03,103
I AM, I WAS LIKE, I HOPE SHE'S 

2
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:04,471
KIDDING.
I HOPE SHE'S KIDDING.

3
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:08,274
YOU KNOW WHAT, CHRISTIE, SOME 
PEOPLE SAY THAT THE PANDEMIC HAS

4
00:00:08,274 --> 00:00:11,978
TAUGHT THEM SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
I DON'T KNOW, EVERYONE SEEMS TO 

5
00:00:11,978 --> 00:00:14,047
HAVE THEIR OWN KIND OF LIFE 
LESSON.

6
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:18,852
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU LEARNED 
FROM THE PANDEMIC?

7
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:25,658
>> WELL, I THINK -- I THINK IT'S
A LOT ABOUT PRIORITIES.

8
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:29,596
AND THE FIRST THING THAT YOU 
THINK OF WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT, 

9
00:00:29,596 --> 00:00:33,433
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE 
THAT -- ESPECIALLY IN THE 

10
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:35,835
BEGINNING I THOUGHT WHAT IF I 
ALREADY HAVE IT?

11
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:40,540
YOU KNOW, THOSE FIRST TWO WEEKS.
AND YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT --

12
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:47,647
HOW WOULD I BE REMEMBERED?
AND YOU START THINKING, I REALLY

13
00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:53,053
WISH I'D DONE MORE, YOU KNOW.
I KNOW THAT I TRY TO GIVE BACK 

14
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:59,893
AS MANY WAYS AND AS OFTEN AS 
POSSIBLE, BUT YOU REALIZE THAT 

15
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:06,800
THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER,
LIKE THAT -- I DON'T KNOW, FOR 

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:13,973
ME, I JUST FELT LIKE I WANT TO 
HAVE SOMETHING THAT I CAN SAY 

17
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:20,447
THAT I HELPED MAKE THE WORLD 
BETTER BY DOING THIS, YOU KNOW.

18
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:24,851
AND I ALSO THINK THAT THE IDEA 
OF THE MASK, THAT YOU'RE DOING 

19
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:28,254
SOMETHING FOR OTHERS, THAT I'M 
WEARING THIS MASK TO PROTECT 

20
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:31,691
YOU, AND MY KIDS ALL CAME TO 
LIVE WITH ME.

21
00:01:31,691 --> 00:01:38,598
AND TO SEE THEM ALL BE SO 
CAREFUL FOR MY BENEFIT, YOU 

22
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:44,104
KNOW, BECAUSE I'M SO ANCIENT, 
YOU KNOW, THAT I WAS IN THAT 

23
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:49,242
CATEGORY WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY 
REALLY HAD TO BE CAREFUL.

24
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:55,315
AND IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO 
SEE LIKE HOW CAREFUL THEY REALLY

25
00:01:55,315 --> 00:01:58,952
WERE.
AND TO SEE PEOPLE AROUND ME ALL 

26
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:03,523
TAKING THAT STEP TO PROTECT THE 
OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THEM.

27
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:10,697
AND I THINK THAT WE REALIZE HOW 
INTERRELATED WE ARE, HOW 

28
00:02:10,697 --> 00:02:15,235
IMPORTANT ONE PERSON IS, HOW THE
EFFECT THAT YOU CAN HAVE 

29
00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:18,938
POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY. 
>> YOU KNOW -- YES. 

30
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:21,174
>> ON PEOPLE AROUND YOU. 
>> IT'S SO INTERESTING THAT YOU 

31
00:02:21,174 --> 00:02:23,076
TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU WERE IN 
THAT CERTAIN AGE.

32
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:25,412
I THINK YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE 
PEOPLE WHO PEOPLE LOOK AT AND 

33
00:02:25,412 --> 00:02:27,580
SAY YOU'RE AGELESS.
WHENEVER YOU SAY YOUR AGE, AND 

34
00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:30,450
YOU'VE SAID IT ON OUR AIR 
BEFORE, I DON'T REMEMBER -- HOW 

35
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:35,321
OLD ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
>> I JUST TURNED 67.

36
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:41,094
AND IT SHOCKS ME TO SAY IT 
BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT 

37
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:42,696
NUMBER.
I DON'T RELATE TO THAT NUMBER AS

38
00:02:42,696 --> 00:02:48,101
A REFLECTION OF MY SPIRIT, YOU 
KNOW.

39
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:52,539
BUT YEAH, I'M SO LUCKY TO BE 
HERE.

40
00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:56,710
THERE'S SO MANY THAT DIDN'T MAKE
IT, YOU KNOW.

41
00:02:56,710 --> 00:03:01,948
AND WE'VE LOST OVER A HALF A 
MILLION AMERICANS.

42
00:03:01,948 --> 00:03:05,251
AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S 
NOT LOST ON ME EITHER.

43
00:03:05,251 --> 00:03:10,857
I THINK, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS 
BEEN A GRATEFUL PERSON BUT MY 

44
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:14,427
GRATITUDE IS JUST BUBBLING OVER.
>> YEAH, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE ALL

45
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:18,231
GOT A SECOND CHANCE BECAUSE I 
THINK WE'VE -- EVERYONE PROBABLY

46
00:03:18,231 --> 00:03:20,533
KNOWS SOMEONE OR WHO KNOWS 
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMEONE WHO'S 

47
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:24,170
LOST SOMEBODY AND YOU DO FEEL 
LIKE YOU GET A SECOND CHANCE AND

48
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,339
I THINK SOMETIMES IN THOSE 
MOMENTS YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE 

49
00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:32,078
 CHRISTIE, RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. 

50
00:03:32,078 --> 00:03:36,983
>> I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO 
CELEBRATE EVERY DAY THAT WE 

51
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:38,752
HAVE.
AND I ALWAYS TELL MY KIDS BLOOM 

52
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:43,656
WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU -- NO MATTER 

53
00:03:43,656 --> 00:03:48,395
WHERE YOU ARE YOU CAN START WITH
A LIST OF THINGS TO BE GRATEFUL 

54
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:50,630
FOR THAT CAN PUT A SMILE ON YOUR
FACE NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON. 

55
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:55,268
>> UH-HUH. 
>> SO YEAH, GRATITUDE, 

56
00:03:55,268 --> 00:04:00,173
CELEBRATING EACH DAY, AND 
THAT'S -- YEAH. 

57
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:03,376
>> YOU ADMIT -- EVERY TIME 
YOU'RE IN THE STUDIO YOU EMIT 

58
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,878
LIGHT, YOU'RE EMITTING IT THIS 
MORNING.

59
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,546
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THANK YOU 
SO MUCH.

60
00:04:06,546 --> 00:04:08,782
BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL NEED A 
LITTLE DOSE OF THAT.

61
00:04:08,782 --> 00:04:13,520
YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETIMES WE 
GET CAUGHT UP IN ALWAYS -- ISN'T

62
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,722
THAT CRUMMY?
YOU SEEM TO HAVE YOUR DAYS FIXED

63
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:19,659
ON THE GOOD STUFF.
WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, 

64
00:04:19,659 --> 00:04:22,529
CHRISTIE, FOR GETTING UP AND 
HANGING WITH ME.

65
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:22,529
HANGING WITH ME.
WE APPRECIATE YOU, THANK YOU SO
