Ferraro became president I think it would probably be would be president Ferraro and mr. Ferraro or whatever his name was right I don't think they'd say first husband or first lady anything like that that's my guess I don't know what do you think he's her second husband well then it would be president Ferraro and her second husband I just read ain't gonna be present because that really have a problem [Laughter] so that becomes the ladies-in-waiting no I had an answer and I have something else I will not bring it up wait and talk later yes now we I mentioned you look like your address for the Olympic you were one time very good athlete you're still are good athlete but when you were in college you were a javelin thrower that's right yes and pretty good I was in high school I was the best and in the United States yeah what's your high school yeah what was your how far uh I don't know what they threw nowhere near as long as as a Russian woman throws it but well you're not as strong as a Russian I knew it and you know I don't have his long a beard either I was at around 220 times pretty good true in the Olympics was 340 or something's been the Olympia was to 80th at there it was world record set not too long ago though 343 faiths I mean if they would have thrown that at the Coliseum they would have speared the first four rows that's a long time amazing city block and then some now you're no movies Sam son it's kind of a base loosely or quite a bit on your own life very much on my own life I had this word thing when I was a kid that that the longer my hair got the stronger I got I thought because I'm from again that was a Jewish kid in a town with with only a couple of them and you were your hair long I was the first hippy I mean I really was didn't that lead to problems I mean fight some stuff a little ice I just never had a date in school because everybody thought I was a weirdo tried yeah when I went to USC they held me down shave my head bald you had a song here then Oh down to here you were mad what was what was that for just to be against no because I believed it I believed I was 125 pound guy when I graduated from high school and why would I be able to beat all the rest of these people if it wasn't for that I believe you along here and after they cut my hair off I couldn't do it somebody somebody stole these pictures or got in from well which one is you I'm the feminine-looking one the the smaller person there that you kidding that's my sister and I it's what a sister is on the picture is on the right but your is adorable sister I'm this is you over here that's me yeah see and everybody said what a cute little girl so well of course so I what I did was I shaved my head then and my hair grew in dark and very very straight after that happened I shaved my eyebrows off you were kind of a weird kid I was a weird kid not here you hear you're pretty handsome in this I am yeah that's called what me worried you're saying you look a little bit like Alfred Newman but outside of that is I could hear for miles who's this your bar mitzva it's my bar mitzvahs your bar mitzvah picture right very happily down you have big ears too don't you huh big ears -
