here, we got a little more. here's the back story of the tattoo. i have a baby son. this is river weir who is adorable. and as a bonus, he looks exactly like my dad. every time he smiles, he reminds me of my dad, who really made me who i am today. i mean, he used to take me on canoe trips and taught me to love the outdoor world and everything else. and so this is a design that actually my daughter olivia came up with. and look at trudy's handy work here. this is me and my son river in a canoe. and this is mount soperus where my father's ashes were spread, 2013, when he passed. when you turn it upside down, the reflection is me and my child as my dad. the circle of life, as it were.

he did such great work. >> thank you. >> we heard that you were going to get this tattoo on your backside. that's not true? andy was not telling us the truth? >> fancy that. >> if you think i'm going to show off my pandemic dad bod on national television, don, you've been having too many of those clemtine cocktails. >> i thought it was true. >> how long did the tattoo take? it looks pretty intricate. how long did it take? >> she's really fast. two hours? something like this. >> no way. >> trudy is a master of history in vienna. she was told to come to bang-bang world.

i'm so honored to get a private session like this on new year's eve. you're an incredible talent. thank you so much. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you guys. i never thought i'd be revealing a tattoo after dionne warwick, but here we are. we love you all. >> we're lucky that you're here. we were having technical problems with dionne warwick. cheers to you. >> cheers to you ask your dad and your son and your beautiful family, bill. it's been quite a year for you. congratulations, friend, and that's a beautiful, beautiful piece of ink. well done. >> take them into the wilderness. make them fall in love with the wilderness. then they'll protect it. >> cheers. >> i love t. >> happy new year, guys. >> thank you so much. finish quantum with activeblu technology, cleans without pre-rinsing. switch to finish and skip the rinse to save water.

becoming the queen of twitter, what one gift did 2020 give you? >> oh, my. um, the art of doing exactly what i'm doing with you, facetime. i was able to, because of covid, i was still able to be with my grandchildren, with my sons, their spouses. so it gave me a sense of family was still with me and i was still with them. big gift. >> love that. >> well, besides being the queen of twitter, i have to say that i love your music. >> thank you. >> and you are the "queen of soul," the empress, we love everything you do. and i do know the way to san jose because of you. that's all i'll have to say. >> somebody finally found it. >> we admire you.
