  1. “I can remember once they used to come to visit us a lot in Arizona when I was in elementary school and I remember once he liked he loved to play basketball and I remember we would go up to my elementary school and like he'd kind of play on the courts but he could never throw a ball like you know the way a normal as though most of us can throw he did it he he um he swung his arms up from under like underhand a ball and it was really adorable and he just loved doing it and I remember he was doing that and I was actually playing off on the playground and some kids who didn't know it was my uncle were like what's what's what does that guy doing is he retarded or something And I just will never forget how crushing it was. And also kind of this moment of truth, like do I admit that's my uncle?”

  2. “Well, you know, we grew up with Uncle Pierce. He was like our favorite uncle, which we would guiltily say, like, sorry, Uncle Bud, you're not our favorite uncle. It's Uncle Pierce because he was such a delight, you know, and to little kids, like we didn't think or know that there was anything different about him. But of course, as we got older, we saw that he was different. I think it just was incredibly important because first of all, as a kid, you know, it's probably the first time I realized, you know, how other people have struggles, it kind of like takes you outside yourself. Yeah.”

  3. “Yeah. So her dad was actually a lawyer and her mom was a homemaker. She was, my grandma was the youngest, like 12 kids, Margaret Ann McDermott, good Catholics. And she grew up, like I said, in northern Kentucky, but almost like a suburb of Cincinnati, right across the river. And she went to the University of Kentucky for school, studied journalism. And they met on a blind date at a UK basketball game. And my mom, the other big thing that mattered her to my mom, and ultimately to us too, is she had an older brother who had Down syndrome, Uncle Pierce. And he was a big, important figure in her life and my life too.”

  5. “While aren't we all related in some sense? No, I always want to pretend that I'm related to those Woody and Arlo Guthrie. So I say I really shouldn't talk about that. But no, no known relation that I'm aware of. Because, you know, of course, I have guitar aspirations, so it would be great if I could claim”

  6. “My dad was, he grew up in Kentucky in Harlan County. So that's like the real deal Southeastern coal country. His family came up from Alabama and basically started that little town, as I understand it. You never know how much of your family lore is true, but here's how we tell it in our family. And they started a family mine. And his father, who also died in his 20s, you know, ran the mine with his brother and the Guthries were all there and all over Harlan County.”

  7. “Okay, I'm like, oh, fascinating. No, I was born in Australia because my father was in the mining business. And he, at that point in the early 70s, had been transferred there to work for a company. So we just, our family lived there for about two years, and I happened to be born during that time. And not until I started working for the Today Show had I been back in all of these years. And one of the best things about this job is like all the cool stuff you get to do. And they sent me to Australia with my mom. And we found the very hospital room where I was born and the midwives who basically delivered me. Wow. Yeah. So I really grew up in Arizona via Australia.”
