HelloJessie it's me.
1:17:06
l wonder could indulge me for a moment?
l'm in a bit of a state.
1:17:11
Well l was driving along...
1:17:13
when l suddenly remembered
that story about Schoenberg.
1:17:17
Schoenberg.
1:17:19
Remember he was obsessed
with numerology numbers and so forth.
1:17:22
So much so that when he turned 65...
1:17:25
he was terrified
that he was going to die...
1:17:27
because his age was divisible by 1 3.
1:17:30
So he consulted an astrologer friend
who assured him that he would survive...
1:17:35
until the next time
the numbers conspired against him.
1:17:38
"Well great" he thought
"another 1 3 years.
1:17:43
l'll be fine until l'm 7 8."
1:17:46
Eleven years later however
when he was 7 6...
1:17:49
the astrologer wrote back to warn him
that it's not only numbers...
1:17:52
that are divisible by 1 3
that he ought to watch out for...
1:17:55
but also those whose digits
add up to 1 3.
1:17:59
For example 7 6.
1:18:03
Needless to say he was petrified
but not for long.
1:18:07
Three months later he died...
1:18:10
July 13 1951 .
1:18:14
l can't help it.
1:18:17
l'm 49 tomorrow...
1:18:19
and Schoenberg's
still talking to me.
1:18:25
Jessie?
Jessie are you there?
1:18:32
The week before he died
l remember it in great detail.
1:18:36
And it's funny that--
1:18:38
lt's peculiar that l do remember it
in such detail...
1:18:42
because many of the times
our conversations were light...
1:18:46
and just banter
between two good friends.
1:18:49
But that week before Glenn died...
1:18:52
everything was serious.
1:18:55
He couldn't control the birthday...
1:18:58
that was coming up--
the celebration.
