Ed Asner RETURNS!Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get reacquainted with Hollywood Legend Ed Asner. In this episode, we chat about Ed's new book SON OF A JUNKMAN. We start off with him telling me stories about working at his dad's junkyard as a kid, and then Ed tells me a little something about each of his siblings and what he learned from them. They have all passed and Ed misses them very much. He tells fun stories about them, about his time in the U.S. Army, a fun story about Betty White, and why he felt the need to publicly apologize to his first wife in his new book.Follow Ed on social media:Twit: @TheOnlyEdAsnerInsta: @TheOnlyEdAsnerFB: Ed AsnerGet Ed's new book here: https://amzn.to/3jq9F0P
