[SPEAKER_00]: I'll draw a little drum roll for Matt.

01:05.034 --> 01:10.902
[SPEAKER_02]: I need a drum roll just to follow me around all day.

01:12.384 --> 01:13.165
[SPEAKER_00]: You're busy, huh?

01:13.205 --> 01:13.786
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.

01:14.908 --> 01:17.090
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't know.

01:17.151 --> 01:20.976
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm not as busy as I used to be, but I'm easier than most I imagine.

01:23.279 --> 01:25.101
[SPEAKER_02]: The picture good, the sound good, everything.

01:25.469 --> 01:26.431
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything's good.

01:26.451 --> 01:40.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything's good and everything's good and so we've been to go and the interesting thing is it's funny because oh I've been now I want to talk to you a while ago and now that there's even more studios coming east.

01:40.575 --> 01:44.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's going to be in and raged for us.

01:45.044 --> 01:45.705
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope so.

01:45.805 --> 01:50.791
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I, you know, it's an interesting, it's an interesting time because you go to the West Coast and it's depressing.

01:50.851 --> 02:07.049
[SPEAKER_02]: I go out, see friends and everybody's, you know, kind of down on the business, you know, and yeah, it's just a lot of construction going on and it kind of contradicts everything that's being said in LA.

02:07.069 --> 02:11.895
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not really sure who to believe, but there's going to be a lot of studio space they got to fill.

02:12.500 --> 02:18.936
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, LA, what I'm finding out now is, you know, it's everybody's pulling out.

02:19.498 --> 02:20.480
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

02:20.520 --> 02:26.475
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you got Netflix and everybody building studios here, they're coming here.

02:27.063 --> 02:56.395
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I mean, you know, you can audition for men you were not, you know, because it's virtual it's either self-tape or you can do I literally did which I didn't like a chemistry read with for a pilot for like fox and rather than fly me out to LA and be in the room with the guy we did like a chemistry read over zoom and I said and it's a it's a sitcom I said this is not how you get a chemistry I mean if it come on that you've got to be in the room sit complying off of each other.

02:56.375 --> 03:06.567
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I didn't get it, which was absolutely fine, but I said, this is just not I don't think how you should be working, but, um, you know, well, so they're cutting corners in a wrong places.

03:06.607 --> 03:06.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

03:07.067 --> 03:07.788
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, absolutely.

03:08.108 --> 03:08.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

03:09.390 --> 03:10.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the good news.

03:10.211 --> 03:13.615
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll let you know some good news that you'll be involved in.

03:15.577 --> 03:18.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a new book out called Mafia Secrets.

03:19.461 --> 03:19.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

03:20.082 --> 03:24.627
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and you know the name George Gallo.

03:25.130 --> 03:27.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, George was getting prepared to do a movie with me.

03:29.395 --> 03:30.816
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I released this movie.

03:31.057 --> 03:39.647
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this book, two weeks later, James Patterson released a book called The Last Days of Bound.

03:41.248 --> 03:43.311
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

03:43.331 --> 03:46.735
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just verified everything I said for 63 years.

03:47.896 --> 03:48.056
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

03:48.817 --> 03:51.941
[SPEAKER_00]: So George Gallo went out and got a major budget for us.

03:52.461 --> 03:53.162
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

03:53.260 --> 04:04.156
[SPEAKER_00]: and he's turning in the gotty script right now that Nicolas Cage is playing that John Lewis directing and once that's done, we're going to improve production on my movie.

04:04.776 --> 04:06.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.

04:06.058 --> 04:07.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.

04:07.681 --> 04:08.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Thomas budget.

04:08.422 --> 04:09.143
[SPEAKER_00]: $50 million.

04:09.243 --> 04:09.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

04:09.864 --> 04:10.204
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

04:11.206 --> 04:18.576
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, you could do, I'm working on a thing where we just put the finance in together 10 million and it's like

04:18.944 --> 04:21.868
[SPEAKER_02]: You could do so much now with so little money.

04:21.908 --> 04:39.231
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, not so much, but what used to cost you 20 to 25 million because of digital you're not using film, the lighting packages now are very lean, you know, you could do a lot of stuff and post so 15 million goes a long way to pays a lot of, pays everyone well.

04:39.852 --> 04:41.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, 55.

04:41.574 --> 04:42.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh 50.

04:42.815 --> 04:43.716
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't you said 15.

04:43.736 --> 04:45.178
[SPEAKER_02]: No, five.

04:45.518 --> 04:46.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, she is.

04:47.040 --> 04:47.761
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my goodness.

04:48.221 --> 04:49.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

04:49.142 --> 04:50.284
[SPEAKER_00]: We're in the trunk of our 15.

04:50.304 --> 04:52.406
[SPEAKER_00]: 50.

04:54.488 --> 04:59.494
[SPEAKER_02]: You should just take 40 of that and make the movie for 10.

04:59.594 --> 05:01.336
[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to do a masterpiece.

05:01.356 --> 05:03.298
[SPEAKER_00]: So we want to get the right talent.

05:03.358 --> 05:04.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:04.039 --> 05:06.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:06.622 --> 05:06.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:07.156 --> 05:09.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Genie's learning all about our business.

05:09.138 --> 05:10.779
[SPEAKER_00]: Genie, jump in anytime you want.

05:10.939 --> 05:12.841
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's fascinating.

05:12.861 --> 05:17.285
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was listening to you, Matt, talk about chemistry reading.

05:17.405 --> 05:21.749
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm thinking, Gianni and I luckily, I'm not doing any acting, of course.

05:21.789 --> 05:25.412
[SPEAKER_03]: But we just hit it off and had a friendship.

05:25.892 --> 05:27.214
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's grown over time.

05:27.234 --> 05:29.816
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, I talked to him almost every day.

05:30.256 --> 05:35.661
[SPEAKER_03]: But I can imagine trying to do that

05:36.181 --> 05:45.212
[SPEAKER_03]: get any way to gauge the person you're on a Zoom call with trying to do that type of acting, you know, that's so different the way they do things.

05:45.232 --> 05:54.803
[SPEAKER_03]: And even my job, I work for the government and we went from seeing our people in person to doing a lot of over do.

05:55.164 --> 05:57.987
[SPEAKER_03]: And it does lack that

05:58.388 --> 06:09.768
[SPEAKER_03]: That special touch of just getting to know someone filling them out a little bit so I can see how different that would be, but especially you you're doing some producing as well, right?

06:10.088 --> 06:20.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and what I've discovered is in fact it's funny we just had this I had a zoom today on this movie that we're putting together and once again, I said I want to get together in person.

06:20.907 --> 06:22.810
[SPEAKER_02]: I try to get us all together in a room.

06:22.790 --> 06:27.542
[SPEAKER_02]: And Baltimore seems to be the central spot between Atlanta, LA, New York.

06:27.582 --> 06:29.086
[SPEAKER_02]: It said, how about we all get the Baltimore?

06:29.387 --> 06:31.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Try to get it to happen before the holidays didn't happen.

06:32.014 --> 06:33.999
[SPEAKER_02]: But I said today, I'm going to force all of you.

06:34.019 --> 06:35.122
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got to make this happen.

06:35.162 --> 06:38.571
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, because we've had people getting a little testing.

06:38.551 --> 06:48.652
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the Zoom Zoom just doesn't, there's like you said, it's hard if things people will say things on Zoom around a phone call, they would never say to your face.

06:49.333 --> 06:53.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Johnny, you probably know that more than anybody having done what you've done for so long.

06:54.083 --> 06:55.125
[SPEAKER_02]: People eat the whole.

06:55.105 --> 06:56.006
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

06:56.026 --> 07:18.475
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying you and I don't think you can't reach over and just smack exactly exactly I said I said I was out of my poker game last night, and we played virtually because we're all over the world And I said I said something and I said you know what somebody should kick my ass for that comment And I said I could use a good ass because so it's why the game should be in person Somebody says something at a poker table.

07:18.515 --> 07:20.137
[SPEAKER_02]: He said what what do you say?

07:21.038 --> 07:22.800
[SPEAKER_00]: You play virtual poker

07:23.253 --> 07:37.026
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's a whole group of actors, writers, directors or we all work in different places all the time, but on Monday night, we can generally so we play the game is happening on your phone.

07:37.360 --> 07:46.449
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're zooming so like set anywhere between seven and 10 of us are on the zoom and then the game is all happening on the phone.

07:46.569 --> 07:47.430
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an app.

07:47.450 --> 07:49.232
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's it's dealing the cards.

07:49.312 --> 07:50.714
[SPEAKER_02]: It takes keeps track.

07:50.734 --> 07:52.495
[SPEAKER_02]: We settle up about every 16 weeks.

07:52.515 --> 07:54.518
[SPEAKER_02]: We settle up, you know, Venmo.

07:54.538 --> 07:55.839
[SPEAKER_02]: We sent each whoever owes money.

07:56.460 --> 07:58.782
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we start a new what we call a new season.

07:58.802 --> 08:00.604
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's great.

08:01.024 --> 08:03.807
[SPEAKER_02]: We started it during COVID because we were all going stir crazy.

08:04.293 --> 08:13.304
[SPEAKER_02]: and one of the guys got very sick very early on when they couldn't quite figure out what was happening, one of the guys got very sick and we were worried and we said, what can we do for him?

08:13.504 --> 08:14.325
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't leave our house.

08:14.345 --> 08:22.755
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't visit in the hospital and then I told one of my friends, you know, maybe we could figure out a way to play poker because he's just a junkie for cards.

08:22.815 --> 08:25.839
[SPEAKER_02]: So we figured out this way to do this and we never stopped.

08:25.859 --> 08:27.401
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's six years now.

08:27.441 --> 08:28.722
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been doing it every Monday night.

08:28.802 --> 08:29.423
[SPEAKER_02]: So

08:29.403 --> 08:39.357
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, pretty consistently and yeah even once COVID ended we just kept it going and it's just great because we just you know We pour the drinks.

08:39.517 --> 08:53.217
[SPEAKER_02]: We we get that you know and we just rise each other catch up on the business You know we talk sports politics, you know kids everything we cover a lot of ground

08:53.197 --> 09:04.067
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the only thing I've ever done to it for six years every Monday night has go to bed Hey, it's the waking up.

09:04.087 --> 09:04.788
[SPEAKER_02]: That's important.

09:05.869 --> 09:06.750
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly right.

09:06.770 --> 09:11.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm in my 80-30 I don't know good enough.

09:12.415 --> 09:14.457
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's a few because you look great.

09:14.617 --> 09:16.038
[SPEAKER_00]: So, thank you.

09:16.058 --> 09:16.559
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

09:17.560 --> 09:18.381
[SPEAKER_03]: That's awesome.

09:18.741 --> 09:20.102
[SPEAKER_00]: So what are you producing?

09:20.563 --> 09:21.043
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

09:21.682 --> 09:22.865
[SPEAKER_02]: What am I producing?

09:22.925 --> 09:31.466
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm working on, I'm not just trying, I know I can talk about it and just trying to kind of protect the guilty in the innocent.

09:32.028 --> 09:38.965
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a vampire movie, tentatively titled Batshit Crazy.

09:38.945 --> 09:54.562
[SPEAKER_02]: It's starring hopefully a friend of ours who was aging and plays an aging Dracula and it's a lot of fun because this person kind of felt that maybe the role had passed them by.

09:54.923 --> 09:58.707
[SPEAKER_02]: And so he said, man, that's such a bummer I really wanted to play Dracula.

09:58.727 --> 10:08.918
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, that would be very funny to have a Dracula who's aging and he doesn't know why because vampires are eternal.

10:08.898 --> 10:10.601
[SPEAKER_02]: and it just the comedy just came.

10:10.821 --> 10:11.963
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so easy to write.

10:12.524 --> 10:14.788
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, he's got to put his fangs in all the time.

10:14.828 --> 10:23.582
[SPEAKER_02]: He's dying his hair because it's completely white, so he's dying in black, so he still looks like a, you know, and you know, he just can't move that well.

10:23.883 --> 10:24.684
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot of fun.

10:24.885 --> 10:26.367
[SPEAKER_02]: And so,

10:26.347 --> 10:30.392
[SPEAKER_02]: or shooting, it's kind of, I call it the hangover meets Dracula.

10:30.412 --> 10:39.204
[SPEAKER_02]: It's basically these guys road trip into the middle of Transylvania for a film festival, a horror film festival that's happening, which is a real thing, and I actually had a film there.

10:39.785 --> 10:42.328
[SPEAKER_02]: This was all loosely based on what was going to be a true story.

10:42.929 --> 10:46.413
[SPEAKER_02]: I told my buddies when we were all going to go to Transylvania for this film festival.

10:46.433 --> 10:49.317
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, boy, we should write a movie about

10:49.735 --> 11:19.708
[SPEAKER_02]: four guys that end up at Transylvania and a horror movie breaks out while they're at the festival you know staying in there and they're hoping like they air being be a castle and like this could be do horror movie just breaks out and so we were like oh god we got to make that movie so we started kind of I met with Romanian government got the tax incentives um that they just love the film love that because we really feature a lot of Romania because so often those movies are not shot on location in Transylvania so that was part of our one of our gimmicks was not really

11:19.840 --> 11:20.281
[SPEAKER_02]: What's that?

11:21.002 --> 11:22.284
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good way to get their money.

11:22.564 --> 11:23.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

11:23.185 --> 11:23.766
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

11:24.087 --> 11:24.587
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

11:24.668 --> 11:29.014
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, we got a lot of interest and we we're going to shoot less.

11:29.235 --> 11:31.218
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also very timely because we have to shoot.

11:31.739 --> 11:35.164
[SPEAKER_02]: Transylvania gets covered in snow and gets very difficult to shoot in the winter.

11:35.184 --> 11:37.367
[SPEAKER_02]: So you either have to do spring or fall.

11:37.407 --> 11:37.748
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think.

11:38.150 --> 11:43.457
[SPEAKER_02]: We tried to do last fall, one of the casting main roles couldn't do it.

11:43.497 --> 11:44.999
[SPEAKER_02]: So we shifted to the spring.

11:45.059 --> 11:47.743
[SPEAKER_02]: We might get it in the spring or we might push it.

11:47.763 --> 11:53.291
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd love to shoot it in real time around Halloween just to kind of use Halloween as a person.

11:53.311 --> 11:58.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they actually do one of a few European countries that does Halloween the way we do Halloween.

11:58.959 --> 12:00.941
[SPEAKER_02]: The pumpkins, the costumes, everything.

12:01.041 --> 12:07.330
[SPEAKER_03]: So.

12:08.575 --> 12:09.817
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you say it was called?

12:09.917 --> 12:14.483
[SPEAKER_02]: It is, it was called World Mania with a big exclamation point.

12:14.543 --> 12:18.168
[SPEAKER_02]: And then when I rewrote it this summer, I went with that shit crazy.

12:18.689 --> 12:20.852
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I used to use that term all the time.

12:20.952 --> 12:22.614
[SPEAKER_02]: I call people that shit crazy all the time.

12:22.654 --> 12:27.501
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just put it in as a tentative title, and I was like, oh, I love it.

12:27.921 --> 12:29.483
[SPEAKER_02]: I love people like, oh, like, what you do?

12:29.523 --> 12:35.832

12:35.812 --> 12:39.616
[SPEAKER_03]: That's probably I can give you some tips on how to swear correct.

12:39.676 --> 12:44.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think design I will absolutely have to look at it down to an art.

12:45.443 --> 12:47.085
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been doing it in acting recently.

12:48.367 --> 12:52.992
[SPEAKER_02]: I had been I did I did a film this fall called Lupo.

12:54.073 --> 12:57.877
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if you didn't know this story, I don't know how well this guy is known.

12:59.099 --> 13:02.663
[SPEAKER_02]: Joseph Lupo Resulie, I think was his name.

13:02.980 --> 13:05.686
[SPEAKER_02]: you would time out with him.

13:06.087 --> 13:08.332
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a boxer who got polio.

13:09.053 --> 13:14.245
[SPEAKER_02]: And then went into then went into work for the mafia at once the polio hit in.

13:14.766 --> 13:16.390
[SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't box anymore.

13:16.450 --> 13:18.615
[SPEAKER_02]: He knew a lot of the guys from the neighborhood.

13:18.675 --> 13:20.759
[SPEAKER_02]: We had to pull that thing.

13:20.779 --> 13:21.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?

13:21.408 --> 13:25.352
[SPEAKER_02]: You started collecting and then of course because he's still a tough guy.

13:25.392 --> 13:31.019
[SPEAKER_02]: He looks even tougher with a cane and he it's a very interesting story.

13:31.039 --> 13:49.339
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to give like the so he basically is brother, police chief in, I want to say they're all in, I think in person, he Patterson, it's New Jersey, his brother's police chief and he's, you know, at the

13:50.095 --> 14:19.191
[SPEAKER_02]: their worlds collide the fed step in and this is all true you know true story and without giving much without giving the ending away an incredible ending that to this day remains a mystery and a really good one and yeah and his son kind of did a lot of research trying to find out what happened and uncovered a lot of things and so his son wrote the script or his son wrote down a lot of the ideas I think he then got a younger kid to write the

14:19.424 --> 14:22.531
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of Matt Del Negro from Subranos.

14:22.951 --> 14:26.158
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we had a lovely female director.

14:26.599 --> 14:29.265
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I'm going to blank underneath.

14:29.305 --> 14:30.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she was great.

14:30.868 --> 14:37.562
[SPEAKER_02]: And just a great producing team all shot in very specific locations that were true to the story.

14:38.364 --> 14:39.947
[SPEAKER_02]: And I played

14:40.248 --> 15:02.374
[SPEAKER_02]: A real estate developer who was developing a lot of the Jersey shore in the 50s and 60s and they were trying to find a place to legitimize themselves and get some of that mob money into legitimate investments.

15:02.354 --> 15:14.528
[SPEAKER_02]: in this real estate Ponzi scheme, they to their credit, they didn't realize my character with it was a bit of a Ponzi scheme and then the feds turned me and got all of them in trouble.

15:14.588 --> 15:17.631
[SPEAKER_02]: And so yeah, I got my ass kicked in this film.

15:17.832 --> 15:18.392
[SPEAKER_02]: It's getting hard.

15:18.633 --> 15:19.413
[SPEAKER_02]: It's getting hard.

15:19.854 --> 15:21.916
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm 16 now.

15:21.996 --> 15:24.780
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's sort of like in the old days, Johnny, I'm sure you just feel safe.

15:24.800 --> 15:27.583
[SPEAKER_02]: No, go ahead and throw the punch and go ahead and do it.

15:27.603 --> 15:29.225
[SPEAKER_02]: I get all, listen, I saw the Godfather.

15:29.445 --> 15:30.847
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, throw me into the garbage cans.

15:30.927 --> 15:31.247

15:46.085 --> 15:47.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, all right, go ahead.

15:47.066 --> 15:54.535
[SPEAKER_02]: If you got the young actors, man, they want to do I said, if you guys want, because I'm at my sitting in my chair, and they literally slam me down on the desk, you know, they're like, doing this.

15:54.515 --> 15:58.579
[SPEAKER_02]: I said let's wait for like one of the last takes on you guys can go to town.

15:58.719 --> 16:03.323

16:03.784 --> 16:06.286
[SPEAKER_02]: I did find I said, you know, it's going to look good.

16:06.306 --> 16:08.188
[SPEAKER_02]: And most of my friends love to see me get my ass kicked.

16:08.208 --> 16:12.532
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have friends that line up to watch me.

16:12.572 --> 16:22.902
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I've been killed on screen at least 10 times with all the television loan orders.

16:23.101 --> 16:26.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take care, I think you would do have died more than that, just ten.

16:27.115 --> 16:30.426
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm probably, you will soon be restimating it, but yeah.

16:30.827 --> 16:31.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

16:31.911 --> 16:35.102
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you have a relationship on it, what's up?

16:35.487 --> 16:40.777
[SPEAKER_02]: You ever release date on this, that is, and they're moving it along very quickly.

16:40.917 --> 16:45.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I know they're in the editing room, I've got a touch from them last week saying that everything's up and great.

16:46.047 --> 16:46.969
[SPEAKER_02]: I know they have a soundtrack.

16:46.989 --> 16:52.299
[SPEAKER_02]: They've got a secure musical that's up, but I would say spring, spring 2020, wow, this spring.

16:52.740 --> 16:53.361
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this year.

16:53.813 --> 17:03.815
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there general release or to TV or I don't know oh no it'll be I think you know they'll go for theaters they'll try to go for theaters and No major stars, but it didn't need it.

17:03.835 --> 17:09.949
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean just a really good story good actors a lot of recognizable faces from TV and films so

17:09.929 --> 17:25.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just I was the old guy by a long shot to see these were all like, you know, because the story was mostly sort of guys in their 30s in the in the lane and of course we had a blast with all the clothes and stuff in the cars because it's late 60s early 70s.

17:25.107 --> 17:27.890
[SPEAKER_02]: So the suits, you know, looks almost like good for the suits.

17:28.331 --> 17:31.975
[SPEAKER_02]: The cat, the old caties, you know, a lot of fun.

17:31.995 --> 17:33.857
[SPEAKER_02]: They're fun to do, yeah.

17:56.420 --> 18:13.382
[SPEAKER_02]: And like I said, I think somebody approached them with this story and so the sun was on set and so in the movie he's a little kid and it's sort of witnessing his father involved in a lot of stuff, you know, because he was very close to his dad and I think he was the only child that they were able to have so.

18:13.362 --> 18:40.720
[SPEAKER_02]: very close and uh uh what a great guy would a great he would just you know that's so much fun because at lunch break he's telling stories that didn't make the script because they just had so many good stories you know as I go this happened one time and I was like six years old and I I witnessed something that I shouldn't have and you know you didn't see that you know that kind of stuff but um don't tell your mother kind of thing so uh that's just fun just fun

18:41.138 --> 18:42.080

[SPEAKER_02]: They're also at the age now where they know what I do.

22:01.613 --> 22:03.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, because we're a little kids.

22:04.057 --> 22:05.780
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, well, you're not watching sopranos.

22:05.800 --> 22:06.982
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not watching banching.

22:07.002 --> 22:22.288
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not watching this this this, you know, and now, uh, they, and they would be with me and I get recognized from something like what why are people bothering you, you know, and I'm like, no, no, no, they're just fans of this show or that show or they recognize me from this, okay, whatever, they just kind of got used to it.

22:22.538 --> 22:26.765
[SPEAKER_02]: But now, all of their friends have been watched, all the special secretals.

22:26.885 --> 22:31.072
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's a whole new generation of young kids.

22:31.093 --> 22:38.746
[SPEAKER_02]: I might have talked about this last time, but I go to the colleges for parents, day parents, we can hold my gosh, 19, 20, 21 year olds.

[SPEAKER_02]: They all baked watched it during COVID.

22:47.665 --> 22:51.311
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're just addicted and I think I might have said this to Johnny.

22:51.351 --> 22:55.097
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it just shows a good writing holds up good writing last.

22:55.117 --> 22:57.721
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's generational not everything translates.

22:57.741 --> 23:00.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a lot of the other shows that maybe we all grew up or movies.

23:00.986 --> 23:05.654
[SPEAKER_02]: My kids have no use for, but soprano somehow still it's muscular.

23:06.135 --> 23:07.096
[SPEAKER_02]: It's vulnerability.

23:07.257 --> 23:08.138
[SPEAKER_02]: It's family.

23:08.118 --> 23:10.402
[SPEAKER_02]: All the themes, you know, hold up.

23:10.462 --> 23:22.966
[SPEAKER_02]: I always said it was more Shakespearean and less mafia because it really is the loyalty, you know, the king of his kingdom crumbling, you know, and again, it's a family drama.

23:22.986 --> 23:26.112
[SPEAKER_02]: I always said people could find themselves in our stories.

23:26.513 --> 23:28.557
[SPEAKER_02]: If it was just a good fellow is the TV show.

23:28.908 --> 23:47.275
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exotic, and you're like, oh, yeah, I can't see my, but when a guy doesn't, his wife's pounding him about the water heater, the kid's not doing his homework and you're supposed to be the mob boss, you know, very, very 20th century, and then he goes in a therapy, obviously, which, um, very true.

23:47.295 --> 23:47.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:47.415 --> 23:48.016

23:48.797 --> 23:50.119

24:25.009 --> 24:29.577
[SPEAKER_02]: With that core group of guys, Robert Finaro, Jason Cervante and Grimaldi,

24:29.557 --> 24:49.354
[SPEAKER_02]: We kind of bonded and said, all right, let's start, you know, there was already what I call the 18, you know, Sharip, Steve Sharip of Michael and Perry Oli and Vince Pest of any past or have their own little kind of, not only did they have the podcast, but they started monetizing this whole thing by going and doing these Q and A's around the country, around the world.

24:49.835 --> 24:59.563
[SPEAKER_02]: And they'll come in set, they'll sell out, you know,

24:59.543 --> 25:01.345
[SPEAKER_02]: People pay good money for it.

25:01.385 --> 25:08.154
[SPEAKER_02]: So I said, let's we'll call ourselves the second line and And we'll just come in behind them and get to get the scrap.

25:08.194 --> 25:12.640
[SPEAKER_02]: So we've been doing Stuff that we've done a long island multiple times now.

25:12.981 --> 25:20.070
[SPEAKER_02]: We're doing some of these dinners I think we're doing something in Atlantic City in March At the Tropicana.

25:20.090 --> 25:23.695
[SPEAKER_02]: So it there's just an appetite that is voracious

25:23.742 --> 25:25.686
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're also looking internationally.

25:25.726 --> 25:38.713
[SPEAKER_02]: The show is huge in Europe and Italy and England, Ireland loves it, Germany, I mean so it's just it was kind of as I you know it was slowing down until

25:38.930 --> 25:43.095
[SPEAKER_02]: streaming came out and then everybody kind of caught the bug and started watching it again.

25:43.155 --> 25:45.557
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's just this second life.

25:45.617 --> 25:54.027
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the people from the office have said the same thing that the office is more popular now with the reruns and syndication that it was was when it was airing.

25:54.127 --> 25:58.431
[SPEAKER_02]: And so they do together as a cast a lot of appearances and events.

25:58.471 --> 26:03.537
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's great because honestly, you know, we're making money, we're not

26:03.517 --> 26:09.742
[SPEAKER_02]: getting rich, but I just love and excuse to hang out with these guys and the idea that I get to hang out with my friends.

26:10.283 --> 26:12.405
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we just didn't invent a long island near the end of the year.

26:12.505 --> 26:14.807
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we're just laugh and the whole time with the audience.

26:15.247 --> 26:20.752
[SPEAKER_02]: We're reminding each other of stories, telling them things they never heard, telling people stuff we've never said.

26:21.453 --> 26:23.294
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just highly entertaining.

26:23.334 --> 26:23.955
[SPEAKER_02]: We enjoy it.

26:24.015 --> 26:26.777
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said the fact that we can pay to do it is great.

26:26.797 --> 26:27.658
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I think of.

26:27.678 --> 26:28.539
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a break.

26:28.559 --> 26:32.022
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I just realized what time it is.

26:34.060 --> 26:35.182
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're back.

26:35.202 --> 26:36.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

26:36.163 --> 26:39.989
[SPEAKER_00]: So we let the editor do all that stuff.

26:41.772 --> 26:43.074
[SPEAKER_02]: Those editors got a love them.

26:43.194 --> 26:43.915
[SPEAKER_02]: I've swear to God.

26:43.935 --> 26:45.337
[SPEAKER_02]: They have saved my ass so many times.

26:45.697 --> 26:48.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this guy's with us 23 years.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not paying attention.

27:13.911 --> 27:15.653
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not good on the that end.

27:16.154 --> 27:20.138

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get on a plane.

27:47.029 --> 27:49.252
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to have to cross pollinate at some point.

27:49.272 --> 27:53.258
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to drag you to like one of our Atlantic city shows like as a special guest.

27:53.458 --> 27:54.760
[SPEAKER_02]: It would be a blast.

27:54.993 --> 28:10.082
[SPEAKER_02]: audience would because they would love it because now they they got a complete surprise guest it's got a whole other you know thing that they're like all they've all seen it they've all watched the different movies you've done I mean they're gonna have a whole other set of questions I think they get sick of us at some point so

28:10.450 --> 28:13.717
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, Matt, you said your kids now know what you did.

28:14.298 --> 28:27.447
[SPEAKER_03]: Gianni said he did a movie a lot of, well, in his line of business, but he did Mario Brothers, and he said the Greg kids were really mad at him when they finally saw him in the show.

28:27.427 --> 28:29.851
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't have the princess.

28:30.192 --> 28:32.295
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought of the guy mad at me.

28:32.335 --> 28:37.724
[SPEAKER_02]: You can have the princess peach, I think I know enough about Mario Brothers.

28:37.744 --> 28:38.846
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

28:39.307 --> 28:39.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

28:39.768 --> 28:40.068
[SPEAKER_02]: That's great.

28:40.248 --> 28:45.137
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I did one Disney film in Chanted, which is incredibly beautiful film.

28:45.157 --> 28:48.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Very love letter to New York City.

28:48.402 --> 28:50.185
[SPEAKER_02]: fantasy and everything.

28:50.225 --> 28:55.194
[SPEAKER_02]: And they watched it till the DVD was just ground into dust.

28:55.214 --> 28:56.797
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they loved it, all their friends would.

28:56.817 --> 28:59.501
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was one thing that they saw.

29:00.123 --> 29:06.834
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think it came soon because I, because I play, I play a, a con ad guy, all the animated characters come through.

29:07.716 --> 29:10.140
[SPEAKER_02]: They picked a sewer cover.

29:10.475 --> 29:35.571
[SPEAKER_02]: in the middle of time square 40 like fifth and Broadway boom there is a circle and they said to connect we want to use this for this movie this is the portal from the animated world into the real world world world world and i'm so all through the movie i'm in down there like doing stuff and then like i come up and i'm like getting ready for lunch and here comes like don't a new character like what what do you how did you get you know so my kids thought

29:35.838 --> 29:47.029
[SPEAKER_02]: I worked for Connet like for a long time and I said go with that that's fine because I can't I'm not going to explain that I was just acting yes, that's yes, that's what I work at Connet

29:47.617 --> 30:11.548
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but anyways, as I said in my oldest is now using it to get, you know, my Lajada, if she's at a bar or something, somebody will buy her a drink, you know, you have my dad's house, but oh, yeah, and then she'll call me, and I'm like, how hey, man, she's like, see, there's H and Harris, and I'm like, they're like, oh my god, it is H, you know, so I'm like, listen, nobody's buying me drinks, so hopefully, if you get some drinks out of it, go ahead, you know, I'd like it.

30:11.866 --> 30:12.527
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that.

30:12.907 --> 30:16.453
[SPEAKER_03]: Now your kids are called a jager, any of them want to do any acting?

30:16.873 --> 30:17.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, thank God.

30:17.554 --> 30:18.495
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

30:18.536 --> 30:18.756
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

30:18.916 --> 30:19.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I absolutely.

30:19.998 --> 30:21.840
[SPEAKER_02]: That would have been a parent fail.

30:22.020 --> 30:27.348
[SPEAKER_02]: My wife is a, you know, was a Broadway singer, the dancer, all of the good good stuff.

30:28.390 --> 30:37.823
[SPEAKER_02]: They've seen two people live a life that has been amazing, hard, hard arts and downs, good times, great times, hard times.

30:38.191 --> 30:40.956
[SPEAKER_02]: So the inconsistency they've witnessed firsthand.

30:41.257 --> 30:46.366
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they're, and also just, sometimes it's in your DNA.

30:46.407 --> 30:51.075
[SPEAKER_02]: You see a kid, you're like, just a body of mine, he was just saying, his youngest son, he said, I can't stop him.

30:51.115 --> 30:54.281
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he's going to end up in the arts somehow.

30:54.582 --> 30:58.309
[SPEAKER_02]: He just, he expresses himself through music and drawing.

30:58.643 --> 31:01.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's up at my, my, I don't know what they're doing with it.

31:01.487 --> 31:03.269
[SPEAKER_00]: They, you know, they realize the ups and downs.

31:03.550 --> 31:03.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

31:04.131 --> 31:15.526
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said to them, I would support, if you want to be a director, a costume designer, a makeup artist, like, if you want to go into the business, I said, but acting is its own beast.

31:15.647 --> 31:22.176
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, so, and believe me, I think you have to get the negativity.

31:22.196 --> 31:23.858
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you still push through it,

31:23.838 --> 31:24.881
[SPEAKER_02]: than you were meant to be.

31:25.022 --> 31:25.483
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

31:25.664 --> 31:36.379
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think you've got to always kind of whenever young actors or whatever, I just feel like you have to kind of be encouraging, but also

31:36.646 --> 31:55.228
[SPEAKER_02]: discouraging so that they if they do you know push through it's like they had to do it and somebody said if you could do something else do it because this is really really hard and but to use like to your point I was thinking I saw this interview with Harrison Ford and he said you know why I love the business he says when I was a young actor

31:55.495 --> 32:02.408
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw these older actors in movies or I worked with them and I realized this is a great business because you can age it.

32:02.448 --> 32:05.975
[SPEAKER_02]: They're always going to need older actors to play the older roles.

32:06.476 --> 32:12.627
[SPEAKER_02]: He said most businesses put you out to pasture at 55, 60, he said you can act forever.

32:12.607 --> 32:20.979
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, they need young guys, old guys, white, black, green, like they just need a variety of people, and I can age, you know, as he has done amazing.

32:20.999 --> 32:24.484
[SPEAKER_02]: We gracefully, in a business that's not going to push you away as well.

32:24.504 --> 32:31.294
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you, you can also like, Jean Hackman did, Sean Conner, retired retired around your own terms, you know, and say, I'm done.

32:31.314 --> 32:32.075
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm done.

32:32.276 --> 32:33.197
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, but,

32:33.177 --> 32:58.628
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so to your point to your question, yeah, no my son studying science and math My other daughter studying political science and not for profit business stuff and my oldest got a history You're gonna know what the hell's just gonna do with that I think she Apparently not repeat history hopefully, but I think she what she wants to teach a little kid So I think Yes, she loves her yes

32:58.945 --> 33:00.771
[SPEAKER_03]: I had someone who was going to college.

33:00.811 --> 33:03.519
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, dude, you can do anything you want.

33:03.841 --> 33:08.455
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, I want to teach school and coach football, which is a head coach at high school.

33:08.515 --> 33:10.963
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this, what he's doing, but I'm like,

33:11.500 --> 33:13.403
[SPEAKER_03]: You got the world at your fingertips, dude.

33:13.683 --> 33:16.708
[SPEAKER_03]: School teachers I work with at part 10 jobs at night.

33:17.249 --> 33:21.696
[SPEAKER_03]: And the mic is even told me, I never want to work as hard as we, I've had to watch you work, mom.

33:22.417 --> 33:28.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, well, this generation is allergic to hard work belief me.

33:28.627 --> 33:34.757
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to have hard work in kids, but they didn't want to, I mean, I had four kids, and I had to work my butt off, but...

33:34.737 --> 33:38.182
[SPEAKER_03]: And they do, but they're like, oh, no way.

33:38.342 --> 33:41.807
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I don't, not one minute interested in killing yourself, you know?

33:41.828 --> 33:42.749
[SPEAKER_00]: Go.

33:42.769 --> 33:44.471

34:44.708 --> 34:54.888

34:57.213 --> 35:02.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, even as my acting career though, I start with the godfather.

35:02.318 --> 35:16.208
[SPEAKER_00]: then I invested in a lot of movies, people don't know that, I know that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I had a different thing I was putting money in and buying my own parts and I had fun and made money.

35:17.050 --> 35:19.315
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the X keep coming.

35:19.818 --> 35:24.645
[SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of like I said there's a reason it's all you know, a lot of my creativity has come out of necessity.

35:24.665 --> 35:30.813
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like one of the reasons I'm producing and directing now is I'm not working as much as an actor and I I got three kids in college.

35:30.853 --> 35:34.678
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to keep I said I need to third act, you know to my agent.

35:38.804 --> 35:44.592
[SPEAKER_02]: I said this is just I've been doing this too long and I said creativity is what I know storytelling is what I know.

35:45.113 --> 35:48.998
[SPEAKER_02]: I said I could start over another job and it would take me five to ten years to kind of

35:48.978 --> 35:56.486
[SPEAKER_02]: Replicate the success I've had over your so oh, you couldn't even talk of me Yeah, but it it crushes your mind at times.

35:56.506 --> 36:00.230
[SPEAKER_02]: You're just sort of like you want to this This isn't you know making movies producing them.

36:00.250 --> 36:05.336
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean to your point in talking about the books and everything It's a young man's game a young woman's game.

36:05.376 --> 36:12.924
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean it is tough tough to get stuff made I highly recommend the studio the TV show that was on this season.

36:12.944 --> 36:16.808
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's on Apple Seth Rogan it about

36:17.362 --> 36:22.789
[SPEAKER_02]: getting things made in Hollywood and how it's a miracle anything gets made.

36:23.129 --> 36:34.824
[SPEAKER_02]: Unless Johnny to your point, you do it yourself and you kind of bypass all the executives, all of the the opinionators, you know, if you can, I would have never made it in this business waiting.

36:35.344 --> 36:36.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know.

36:36.766 --> 36:37.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's put up money.

36:38.108 --> 36:38.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:38.911 --> 36:52.044
[SPEAKER_00]: And fortunately I had it because it cost all, you know, I live in a 2700 square foot house on 61st street that he left me in 73 with three other units at a collective rent.

36:52.104 --> 36:52.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Where am I doing?

36:53.085 --> 36:54.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.

36:55.047 --> 36:58.390
[SPEAKER_02]: And I tell you because I mean of the do you ever get to seven.

36:58.430 --> 37:03.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to hold you to do you ever get to see the alto nights the one the movie that I talked about.

37:03.195 --> 37:04.877
[SPEAKER_03]: You asked you about that.

37:04.897 --> 37:05.357
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was great.

37:05.641 --> 37:07.688
[SPEAKER_02]: I never got to see it.

37:07.788 --> 37:15.955
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's going to be your homework next time because I mean obviously I want your opinion of this movie, I mean there's

37:16.778 --> 37:24.253
[SPEAKER_02]: a lot there, a lot that may not jive with, you know, your history and your memories and things that happened.

37:24.654 --> 37:26.959
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they didn't take many liberties.

37:27.260 --> 37:32.811
[SPEAKER_02]: I can say that very Levinson and Nick Poleggi, they stuck very close to the story.

37:33.232 --> 37:37.200
[SPEAKER_02]: And in fact, in a way, almost too close, because it was so long.

37:37.180 --> 37:43.454
[SPEAKER_02]: They thought what you saw, Jeannie, Jeannie was cut from probably three and a half to like two and a half.

37:43.535 --> 37:53.738
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they started like right at the beginning in the streets of little Italy and their friends, maybe it was up on the Upper East Side, you know, Genevieve Zay and Frank.

37:53.988 --> 37:56.771
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, we go all the way to the 70s.

37:56.791 --> 38:04.779
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's being interviewed, I mean, it was De Niro, but he's being interviewed in Florida, you know, talking a bit about his life and how things happened.

38:04.799 --> 38:08.083
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, yeah, I mean, it's epic.

38:08.283 --> 38:08.683
[SPEAKER_02]: It's epic.

38:08.703 --> 38:14.970
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, I really could have been event television, like it could have been a four to five part of the year.

38:15.010 --> 38:16.972
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like HBO kind of thing, you know.

38:17.513 --> 38:17.633
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

38:17.913 --> 38:18.914
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know.

38:18.994 --> 38:21.717
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to share something that nobody even knows.

38:21.697 --> 38:32.068
[SPEAKER_00]: that you wrote people listen up listen up on your podcast here we go on the on the third day that I moved uptown selling ballpoint pens in front of the sharing Netherlands.

38:33.149 --> 38:45.802
[SPEAKER_00]: The third day this guy came every day and he went into the sharing Netherlands got a 15 minute I didn't know what he was doing and he was getting a shoe shunt and then it come out this is Costello.

38:46.402 --> 38:48.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and never took a pen.

38:49.844 --> 38:53.988
[SPEAKER_00]: gave me words of advice, give me $5, give me $10 in the 50s.

38:55.530 --> 38:58.853
[SPEAKER_00]: But before he left, he always touched my left shoulder.

39:00.935 --> 39:07.062
[SPEAKER_00]: I found out later, Sicilian's touch cripples for luck.

39:07.983 --> 39:09.344
[SPEAKER_00]: No, this gets crazy now.

39:10.225 --> 39:14.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Read days later, he gets shot in his lobby by Chindiganty.

39:15.871 --> 39:15.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

39:15.991 --> 39:17.893

[SPEAKER_00]: how you didn't die.

39:20.929 --> 39:22.993
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be that kid you would tell me about.

39:23.013 --> 39:24.996
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I fell into this.

39:26.358 --> 39:27.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

39:27.219 --> 39:28.201
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you believe that?

39:29.042 --> 39:31.346
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

39:31.366 --> 39:33.009
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more about opportunities.

39:33.089 --> 39:36.154
[SPEAKER_00]: I am the same opportunities and obstacles as my life.

39:36.554 --> 39:36.895
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

39:37.263 --> 39:41.254
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's an opportunity and I never had kids.

39:41.294 --> 39:45.165
[SPEAKER_00]: He died in 1973 and here I am.

39:45.205 --> 39:48.795
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in this apartment, 71 years.

39:48.815 --> 39:51.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I walked in here when I was 13.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got to come and see it.

39:57.407 --> 40:04.014
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you're going to sign a document leaving it to me, so that's that's what that's going to go.

40:04.034 --> 40:05.235
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a mic for that.

40:06.697 --> 40:16.728
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got my, and just so you know, Matt, if you're, if you're writing your name on the back as something, that ring that he's wearing on that one hand, the day he got it on I'm like, hey, you got some new jewelry there.

[SPEAKER_03]: I got to get on that.

40:32.480 --> 40:33.401
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to get on that.

40:33.421 --> 40:35.043
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like a little series ring.

40:35.063 --> 40:37.706
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like one of those, you know, champion ship rings.

40:38.227 --> 40:38.627
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

40:38.647 --> 40:43.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I had a guy that named the lip shits one of the best cutters.

40:43.565 --> 40:51.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, he's got waiting lists for gemstones, how Winston being won.

40:52.358 --> 40:56.383
[SPEAKER_00]: I should never get a 12-carot, 12-point stone.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's my birthday to start with 12.

40:59.508 --> 41:02.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Two years later he caused me, I had a bite of stone.

41:07.887 --> 41:08.548
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't.

41:08.568 --> 41:11.433
[SPEAKER_03]: If the day he got it, I was like, what is that?

41:11.453 --> 41:14.598
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to catch in that jury even across the country.

41:14.618 --> 41:15.619
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in Utah.

41:16.200 --> 41:18.083
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a movie that's coming about that ring.

41:18.223 --> 41:18.764
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm telling ya.

41:19.165 --> 41:23.391
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a caper, a caper movie, comedy.

41:23.411 --> 41:25.114
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be a comedy, Janie, I promise.

41:25.533 --> 41:27.697
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't wait for her back, shit, crazy.

41:27.837 --> 41:29.060
[SPEAKER_02]: That's getting off.

41:29.120 --> 41:42.625
[SPEAKER_02]: You and me both, I'm telling you, I've been living it, you know, as you know, just putting it all together and living in the world of creating a kind of live with the characters, the casting, the casting director, and it's just such a, I love comedy.

41:42.645 --> 41:43.467
[SPEAKER_02]: God, I love comedy.

41:43.547 --> 41:44.609
[SPEAKER_02]: It's my religion.

41:44.649 --> 41:45.751
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's funny.

41:45.851 --> 41:48.857
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm sure probably like you, John, I have spent my life.

41:48.837 --> 41:53.002
[SPEAKER_02]: Plank Tufts and cops and robbers and firemen and lawyers.

41:53.042 --> 41:55.065
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a very silly man.

41:55.405 --> 42:01.934
[SPEAKER_02]: So I absolutely, I said if I'm going to keep doing this, if I'm going to direct and produce, it's got to be comedy.

42:01.974 --> 42:04.397
[SPEAKER_02]: Because maybe it's the time in the world we're in right now.

42:04.697 --> 42:05.859
[SPEAKER_02]: God, we all could use a laugh.

42:05.899 --> 42:07.881
[SPEAKER_02]: So my God, right?

42:07.901 --> 42:10.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's funny you should say that.

42:10.264 --> 42:18.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never, and I'm a lot older than both of you, I've never seen us in such doom and gloom and such hatred.

42:18.233 --> 42:19.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's hatred.

42:19.998 --> 42:24.471
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and my mother's a little older than you and you know, she just sat.

42:24.671 --> 42:33.897
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just because she just, you know, like you, she's lived through an incredible time in this country, the world wars that, you know, the ups, the downs, everything and she just is, uh,

42:34.349 --> 42:38.216
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so despond my father died kind of seeing a lot of this starting to happen.

42:38.236 --> 42:40.641
[SPEAKER_02]: My mother is like just hard for me to watch.

42:40.721 --> 42:49.197
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe my mother if she said maybe my mother felt the same way watching Vietnam or there's the civil rights riots or you know, I don't know, but you don't have a girl.

42:49.217 --> 42:50.379
[SPEAKER_00]: God bless you still have it.

42:50.399 --> 42:50.940
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.

42:50.920 --> 42:54.285
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, no, she's and she's my mother's awesome.

42:54.305 --> 42:56.589
[SPEAKER_02]: She just has, because she has a great sense of humor.

42:56.669 --> 42:58.813
[SPEAKER_02]: She does and she wanted me to be a writer.

42:59.434 --> 43:04.141
[SPEAKER_02]: She really did encouraged all creativity and I'm growing up in the streets of Detroit.

43:04.181 --> 43:05.824
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, nobody's going in the arts.

43:07.126 --> 43:09.310
[SPEAKER_02]: But she, I could sing.

43:09.330 --> 43:10.752
[SPEAKER_02]: I could move.

43:11.012 --> 43:13.436
[SPEAKER_02]: I could act and she was like, love the writing thing.

43:13.456 --> 43:15.139
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'd she always had me working on writing and

43:15.389 --> 43:16.030
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I love.

43:16.070 --> 43:20.156
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like batched crazy, I wrote this other movie, like I said, that we're developing.

43:20.917 --> 43:23.601
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm smart enough to also enlist.

43:24.302 --> 43:26.285
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a friend that reads books about screenwriting.

43:26.305 --> 43:33.936
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, do take a pass on that for me because I'm sure my structures off and my acts are, but that's what friends are for.

43:34.016 --> 43:38.242
[SPEAKER_02]: But I know that I've got instincts and what I've actually got is good here for dialogue.

43:38.282 --> 43:41.447
[SPEAKER_02]: So I love writing scenes and just

43:41.427 --> 43:46.614
[SPEAKER_02]: playing bull, as an actor, you take the actor, make him a writer, you're playing all the parts.

43:47.135 --> 44:11.248
[SPEAKER_02]: So literally, I will take my phone and record, I'll be like, okay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

44:11.667 --> 44:12.529
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think fighting.

44:12.589 --> 44:14.052
[SPEAKER_03]: I cannot wait to see that movie.

44:14.132 --> 44:16.357
[SPEAKER_03]: I am I'm always at for a good comedy.

44:16.858 --> 44:25.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I honestly like I said it just, uh, and what's interesting also, you know, what we're allowed to do, you know, that's one of the things about battery crazy.

44:25.997 --> 44:29.224
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty, uh, you know, we're kind of going to the old milk bricks world.

44:29.264 --> 44:29.625
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like,

44:29.605 --> 44:34.191
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not precious, like if I'm going to trigger you or offend you, I don't care.

44:34.692 --> 44:37.455
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm a little old school, like I'm sure you guys are too.

44:37.535 --> 44:44.885
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't mean to be brazen about it, but God, I know we want thing we can all agree on is comedy and laughter.

44:45.486 --> 44:50.853
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just think the pushback, you know, to everybody to be politically correct with them.

44:50.913 --> 44:54.297
[SPEAKER_02]: Those parameters is really hurting comedy.

44:54.749 --> 44:57.995
[SPEAKER_02]: our ability to get along because I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

44:58.136 --> 45:01.642
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't find it funny or you're offended, walk away.

45:01.683 --> 45:04.688
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, there's plenty of other places.

45:04.708 --> 45:08.957
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, you got, you got one of these things you can sit and find whatever voice you want.

45:09.117 --> 45:11.782
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, back in the old days, we all had to listen to George Carlom.

45:11.802 --> 45:13.085
[SPEAKER_02]: We all had to listen to Don Rickles.

45:13.125 --> 45:13.686
[SPEAKER_02]: We all had it.

45:13.666 --> 45:42.019
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I missed that commute because that's the one thing you can micro your life into all of the, you know, the music, the videos you're going to get fed so that you don't get any offended or you aren't, or your mind doesn't expand because we all had a commonality like we all watched Johnny cars and we all knew that, you know, the certain nights you were going to watch a show or that we all saw the Oscars, or we all saw the Super Bowl.

45:41.999 --> 45:43.901
[SPEAKER_00]: We were subconsciously programmed.

45:43.921 --> 45:44.622
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, totally.

45:44.822 --> 45:51.190
[SPEAKER_02]: But what we could, I can commune to this day and say, oh, my God, you remember when we watched the finale of MASH?

45:51.490 --> 45:57.257
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember when we saw that this band on Saturday night live in 19th, not talking it?

45:57.277 --> 46:03.484
[SPEAKER_02]: 1977, you know, we can all kind of remember where we were, how we all hung out, you know, all that stuff.

46:03.464 --> 46:08.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, I know I'm on a tangent, but no, I absolutely I asked my writers and my cast.

46:08.188 --> 46:09.569
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I don't want anything.

46:09.790 --> 46:10.790
[SPEAKER_02]: You're improv.

46:10.851 --> 46:11.291
[SPEAKER_02]: Go for it.

46:11.551 --> 46:32.830
[SPEAKER_02]: The editor will, you know, we'll, we'll take out what doesn't work, but you can absolutely kind of bring your brand of comedy, you know.

46:33.299 --> 46:36.043
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, we're going to 83 countries now.

46:36.944 --> 46:37.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, really?

46:38.066 --> 46:41.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, we have, we got a broad, broad audience now.

46:41.951 --> 46:42.672
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my goodness.

46:43.033 --> 46:44.735
[SPEAKER_00]: This will be seen by a million people.

46:44.936 --> 46:45.597
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.

46:46.398 --> 46:46.718
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

46:46.858 --> 46:51.004
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, honey, where, uh, you were just, I forget where you just came back from.

46:52.306 --> 46:52.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Ireland.

46:52.827 --> 46:55.391
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just, oh, where were we?

46:55.411 --> 46:55.651
[SPEAKER_02]: Ireland?

46:56.512 --> 46:59.156
[SPEAKER_00]: I was Ireland for, I went to Ireland for two weeks.

46:59.176 --> 47:00.538
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll never go back to the winter.
