FOR US HERE ON CBS2, WE'RE SO
EXCITED FOR PAUL MAGERS' NEXT
STAGE OF LIFE AFTER ANNOUNCING

IMPORTANT THAT YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT.

PAT: PAUL SENT THAT TIME OFF IN
A TREATMENT CENTER, GETTING
SOBER AND LEARNING ABOUT

AWAY FROM THE NEWS.
PAUL: SO MANY PEOPLE WAIT FOR SO
LONG TO RETIRE, THERE ARE NO
GUARANTEES, GOD DOES NOT TELL
YOU YOU HAVE UNTIL AGE OF 83 OR
85 OR 88 OR 70.

GOD TO HELP ME, YET I COULD NOT
PICK UP THE PHONE, I GOT HELP
FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

ARE SUFFERING WITH WHATEVER YOUR
ADDICT THERE IS HELP.
AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SPEAK

PAT: IN 2014, PAUL TRAVELED TO
SAN FRANCISCO TO INTERVIEW
SINGER LINDA RONSTADT ABOUT HER
STRUGGLE WITH PARKINSON'S
