Welcome to the Syndicate X Library. Our guest today, Kelsey Grammer needs no introduction but here are a few things you might not know about him. He found God on a surfboard, raised a motorcycle, riding dog named Goose. The proud co inventor of the Oreo dipped in a Coca Cola. Yup. And he is here to discuss a book that changed his life. Karen. A brother remembers. We've met once before. I thought so.
And I was trying to remember why or how and where.
Do you remember Virgin America? America?
Yeah, of course.
Flying from New York to la. And you were really busy writing. I didn't bother you but at some point I had to comment that you have the most beautiful penmanship. Oh, thank you I've ever seen. But you were intently at work. I think I was writing.
My graduation speech for UMass Amherst.
It was beautiful.
Thank you.
Do you remember that? Yeah, I do.
