We're actually going the surrogate mother route. I guess if things don't work out with the mother we could just pay her to have an abortion.

I don't believe in abortions, I believe in adoptions. I don't believe in killing babies because they are inconvenient, I believe in giving them life and love and family.

Fair enough. Okay, if you could say one thing to the teenagers and youth of America, what would it be?
What I would say is this: When that impulse to do something crazy—be it sex or drugs or marriage or driving fast—

Or taking nude photos?
As teenagers?

Or as young adults.
What does that have to do with anything?

Well, you asked about doing something crazy, so I was just giving you an example.
Let me ask you something, you and your partner ... what is your partner's name?

Um, Mike.
Between you and Mike, there have been intimacies of words and deeds. Is that not true?

It is.
What if one of you, years later, out of envy or jealousy or just plain meanness, decided to go public, all over the world, with those intimacies. Who is the one who was bad?

The person who went public.
Thank you. Now, to go back to your original question, I would tell them to close their eyes, look ahead 20 years in the future, and do what would make them proud. You know I'm 59 now, but I've been every age between zero and 59. So I know the attitudes and the impulses, I know all that. From my experience, and my place in life right now, that's the thing that's been most helpful to young people on the air. Would you be proud to look back at this moment? We tend to be impulsive when we are younger, that's just part of brain development. So you have to impose a philosophical point of view of a long life.

I think that's good advice.
Yeah. It is. Now be sure to give Mike a Hi.
