Welcome to the StoryCorp podcast, I'm Michael G., producer here as a StoryCorp. In this episode, one family's story the thing never get tired of telling. Sigmund Stahl met Bonnie at that kind of a blind day. It was the early '70s in New York city. Stahl was a college professor at that time. Here he tells his granddaugher about that first meeting. The colleague ... decided he was going to fix me up. He had a list of I don't know how many people. And he would ask me every week, 'did you call anybody, did you?' And I would say no because I wasn't particularly interested.

And I have to get off my back really. So I said, 'OK! Who is No.1, I will call that person.' I decided to have a drink and if I don't like her I would say 'I have to go home', and that'll be the end of it. So we met and we sat down and we talked and then I said to her, 'What would you like to do now if you could, anything you want.' And she said, 'Well, I'd go to an island in the Pacific somewhere where it's nice and sunny.' It was winter. And I said, 'That we can't do. That's a little difficult.' So she said I'd like to go see a movie. I said that's reasonable. What's the name of movie? She said 'Did you hear of a movie called Deep Throat?' Then I said 'No. I never heard of it. I don't go to movies and so I knew nothing.' She looks like a respectable woman. She was well-known public relations experts. What must ... a movie? There was a line around the block. It was a porno. It was the biggest porno of its time. I didn't have the guts to say, 'Let's go.' I was going to sit through that come hell or high water. And then we left and I took her home. I went back to my apartment in the Village. I thought about what gall this woman. She doesn't know me from Adam, and take me to a movie like that. I wouldn't go to that movie if I'd known what it was if they'd paid me for it. And then I thought, she has that chutzpa, that gall. I'll call her again." And my granddaugher so laugh is about she call the other straight for making trench.
