Dick Van Dyke: Aging, Joy + Rescue Dolphins!

What will you be like when you’re older? As Jason and Peter bemoan their current state of crankiness - aches, and pains, increased lack of patience and errant hair growth, they also express their trepidation of becoming even more miserable as they age. But it doesn’t have to be that way… there can potentially be a state of real joy. Really, no really! Joining us in-studio is an American Treasure, the personification of joy throughout life and into advanced age. Dick Van Dyke and his wife Arlene Silver joins us to talk about Dick’s life, his contributions and living with joy at 97!   The conversation is filled with many surprises: How Dick went from mime and radio host to unlikely stage and screen icon. His secret to beating alcoholism. How Dick almost became James Bond. Working with the “strange one” Andy Kaufman. How Dick’s life was saved by a pod of dolphins. Why he has two birthdays. Dick’s involvement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Working with Walter Cronkite. Meeting his heroes… Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton. The huge regret that Dick and Mary Tyler Moore shared.
