Yes. Of course! Duh – how could I forget. But, is the Stephen Colbert interview new? It appears to be. It’s all over the Internet. Thanks for jogging my senile memory. Ha!

stephen’s show just started, so yes, this is a new interview. he’s been getting great guests. i actually haven’t yet watched the show, i’ve just been recording. i actually didn’t tell you about tim cook before, i’d told you about mandy pantinkin being on charlie. 🙂 sorry for the confusion.

Oh okay. So no wonder. I knew there was something about Charlie Rose? I couldn’t figure out how we came to be talking about Tim Cook. Mandy Patinkin makes more sense. I thought I was losing my mind. Ha! Thanks Hunter

this morning i started watching the tim cook on charlie interview. it was done about a year ago but i still find it interesting because he is talking about the iphone 6 which had just been released, and the apple watch which he had just introduced but which wasn’t available for purchase at the time. since i’ve been thinking about the watch, and have an iphone 6 i find it interesting to listen to in hindsight. at that point he hadn’t yet come out as homosexual. he talks about how steve asked him about becoming ceo and how it took him by shock because he was sure steve would recover. and how steve’s office is still there with steve’s name tag on the door. etc.

thanks, mcl lady. charlie asks tim about apple tv and tim talks about what they’ve done but says ‘i won’t talk about what we’re doing in the future’, but even the part he talked about was interesting. i wonder if tim will be on charlie again soon. i’m glad that tim chose to be on stephen’s show, which i haven’t watched any of my recordings yet.
