It's Friday, December 26, and you're listening to an encore episode of Behind the Table.

Today, enjoy a special episode.

We've got Whoopi Goldberg.

She's going to look back on some of the biggest moments from season 29 of the view so far,

and she talks about guest starring in an Italian soap opera and more.

Enjoy, and we'll see you back with new episodes of Behind the Table Monday, January 5th.

We are here with The Woman of the Hour.

Finally, people have demanded it.

Whoopi Goldberg's behind is on the Behind the Table podcast.

It is my ass in the seat today.

Thank you for coming.

It's very exciting.

You're my only Egot, I have to say. So this is a big deal for me. I want to talk about today's birthday. How do you feel about a birthday these days? Do you enjoy it? I still believe that birthdays are important. You know, I realize the other day that I'm older than my big brother. Oh. You know, and that's the, that's the beauty of a birthday.

I just feel like if you get to a place where you can have one, some sort of celebration,

because so many people don't get to those ages, they don't get to the ages. So I'm, I'm grateful for it. And I was really thrilled that,

you know, Lucent came into. Well, that was incredible. For those who haven't seen the show yet,

we gave away to a lovely audience member, a very expensive, gorgeous, gigantic electric car. Yeah. That is also your car. Yes. Yes. It's the car that I have.

And what I loved is that they wanted, they wanted to do this for our show in particular, but they

took care of everything. You know, she gets the car and all of the things that, you know, she's not going to have to pay taxes on the car and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. No, because they're going to take care of that because they know that people are having a hard, hard enough time. Well, she seemed really, really excited. Her brother was more excited than she was, I think. And she forgot her number. I talked to them on the commercial break. She forgot what the number was. And he's like, that's you. That's you. Yeah, because I think people, most people say,

I'm never going to win. But you just never know. No, you never know. Magical things happen all the time.

Yeah. Well, they happen around you a lot. You said something this morning, which I really liked,

it was that your new mantra is respect yourself.
