Did Morning just become a film by Nora Ephron? If that’s what you’re thinking when you tune into the veritable life coaching session with retired Army Officer, co-founder of Telemundo, bonafide centenarian (!), and grandfather to our own Novena Carmel — Joe Wallach — you’re on the right track. Following his 100th birthday this past weekend (!) Joe swings by to mix it up with Morning Becomes Eclectic… And make us feel like we’re living out an iconic scene from a movie that never quite existed in the process.

For September in LA, the air is remarkably fall-esque, so we’re inviting you to curl up by your radio with a cozy beverage of choice to take in the wisdom of a timeless creative elder, punctuated by the sounds of Jimmy Durante’s take on “Young at Heart,” Tony Bennet’s “It Had to be You,” and Louis Armstrong’s trademark warbling applied to his swinging version of “Cabaret.”

When asked about his secret for adapting to the times, Wallach has this to offer: "When times are bad we need to look to the future with optimism." We couldn’t agree more.
