04:18.621 --> 04:25.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So Deborah Kelly said, were you around when Charlie Manson was around in Hollywood?

04:26.873 --> 04:27.674
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish I were.

04:27.694 --> 04:28.996
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't living in Hollywood.

04:29.016 --> 04:30.358
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would have killed him myself.

04:31.219 --> 04:34.303
[SPEAKER_01]: He was terrible, huh?

04:34.942 --> 04:38.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, thanks for the question, but no, no, he wasn't, which is good.

04:38.707 --> 04:39.167
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

04:39.708 --> 04:56.089
[SPEAKER_00]: So, would buying, you know, um, we have talked about this a little bit just recently with the stuff with Taylor Swift and AI, but would buying, uh, let's see, yeah, would buy and ask, who sings your intro songs to our podcast?

04:56.761 --> 05:05.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's the genius of our engineer, Mike Austin, and my creates all of that music through AI.

05:07.399 --> 05:10.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's doing a great job.

05:10.224 --> 05:12.248
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's complimenting Mike on it.

05:12.649 --> 05:18.258
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously he had his show, so he'll be happy to hear that a people are enjoying it.

05:19.180 --> 05:20.963
[SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing, you know,

05:21.145 --> 05:28.212
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing about AI is you can tweak every little bit of what you're doing and they're amazing.

05:28.813 --> 05:38.683
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he adds mining in there and what we're doing and, you know, all these different things and it's incredible and he's done our last two songs that have been fantastic.

05:38.763 --> 05:45.330
[SPEAKER_00]: So thank you for the question and it's fun to see that end and we will let Michael.

05:45.749 --> 05:47.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

05:47.071 --> 05:50.557
[SPEAKER_00]: In car tax music, also said I love your new intro song.

05:50.577 --> 05:54.102
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so, Mike, it is making a big splash.

05:54.163 --> 05:55.805
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone seems to really like it.

05:56.987 --> 05:58.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Red Cat dog.

05:58.790 --> 06:01.975
[SPEAKER_00]: His question is, which spoke about your cane.

06:03.197 --> 06:06.663
[SPEAKER_00]: We were talking, I think, about weapons and self protection.

06:06.823 --> 06:09.127
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, what kind of cane do you carry?

06:10.249 --> 06:10.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I carry.

06:11.170 --> 06:12.432
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we came.

06:13.492 --> 06:24.849
[SPEAKER_01]: with a one-pound skull on it that's go-plated, and they all have different color eyes, diamonds, rubies, and whatever.

06:24.869 --> 06:29.056
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't been every color so I coordinate with my wardrobe.

06:29.817 --> 06:32.421
[SPEAKER_01]: And unfortunately, I don't need a cane.

06:32.441 --> 06:36.647
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, when I first got them, they were cane length for length.

06:37.218 --> 06:39.562
[SPEAKER_01]: and it was put in a newspaper right away.

06:40.003 --> 06:41.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Some must be wrong with Johnny Russo.

06:42.527 --> 06:43.589
[SPEAKER_01]: He's welcome, but it came.

06:44.010 --> 06:44.992
[SPEAKER_01]: So I cut them all.

06:45.853 --> 06:48.398
[SPEAKER_01]: They're only for weapons to protect myself.

06:48.919 --> 06:53.727
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, that's how dangerous the streets are getting in New York.

06:53.747 --> 06:54.248
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

06:54.886 --> 07:06.077
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and they are beautiful, but they are heavy because I have I've seen it myself that if you're going to get beat with a cane, I'll tell you what you're going to get beaten style without because it is beautiful.

07:07.399 --> 07:13.445
[SPEAKER_01]: So far, I'm four for four, a jaw, two wrists and a knee.

07:14.806 --> 07:20.552
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the, what, oh, there are some sort of saying it says do something and carry a big stick.

07:21.012 --> 07:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't think what to say.

07:23.810 --> 07:24.190
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it?

07:24.271 --> 07:25.332
[SPEAKER_00]: You said we have that.

07:25.452 --> 07:26.453

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hickory would.

07:29.117 --> 07:30.078
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not breaking.

07:31.319 --> 07:34.403
[SPEAKER_00]: And It's and you don't want to get hit by it.

07:34.463 --> 07:36.866

[SPEAKER_00]: And Gianni, there's funny that you say that, because even when you talk about them, they have such a big spot, you can see.

14:13.045 --> 14:17.050
[SPEAKER_00]: just your reaction to how you feel about both of those women.

14:17.090 --> 14:22.577
[SPEAKER_00]: You got lucky to have two very very neat ladies in your life that took good care of you.

14:23.318 --> 14:24.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

14:24.440 --> 14:26.162
[SPEAKER_01]: And I needed it at that time, believe me.

14:27.123 --> 14:27.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:28.685 --> 14:30.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's neat.

14:30.888 --> 14:32.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So who did teach you how to cook?

14:33.937 --> 14:40.487
[SPEAKER_01]: I just started later on, you know, as a necessity, and then I worked in different restaurants.

14:40.547 --> 14:41.729
[SPEAKER_01]: I was around Custello.

14:42.189 --> 14:44.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I was around all the best restaurants in the world.

14:45.014 --> 14:55.149
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like cooking, so I just, and then I wrote my first restaurant, I was 19, at the drop of Canna Hotel in Las Vegas.

14:56.751 --> 14:57.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that Tiffany's?

14:58.490 --> 15:00.514
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the Tiffany's, good memory.

15:00.975 --> 15:01.877
[SPEAKER_01]: That was Tiffany's.

15:02.277 --> 15:07.668
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I opened Johnny Russo State Street in 1980 for 10 years.

15:08.650 --> 15:10.013
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a big restaurant.

15:10.113 --> 15:17.969
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sonatra and D. Martin and Sammy Davis opened that for me for three days and never charged me anything.

15:18.870 --> 15:20.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Did all the publicity, too.

15:20.967 --> 15:26.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that isn't with friendships and people like that, but food always fascinated me.

15:26.453 --> 15:30.358
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been in as well as in our plot, you know, the science, I've got to tell it.

15:30.378 --> 15:45.135
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and you know, the one thing is I know we do have some people that that works at your place and parked cars, someone once said they did dishes there, and I love it.

15:45.537 --> 15:47.440
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love more of those people.

15:47.521 --> 15:59.542
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've got questions or if you've got anything a memory, something that happened there, please comment, put it on Instagram or even on the YouTube comments, because I love it through that.

15:59.562 --> 16:01.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to hear some of the stories.

16:03.168 --> 16:09.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you've had some people who come out and are big names that worked for you there.

16:09.820 --> 16:12.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, yeah, I mean, a Steve Sharipa worked for me.

16:12.946 --> 16:13.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

16:13.808 --> 16:22.385
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I had, I mean, I watch a lot, I helped a lot of kids, whether we're going to a university in Nevada, so I gave them jobs there at night.

16:22.505 --> 16:29.820
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've been blessed to see so many people move on and just create their own.

16:29.800 --> 16:31.965
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, look at Steve Schrepper.

16:32.246 --> 16:37.338
[SPEAKER_01]: He's broke, broke down, Willie Boye, and he's touring with a book.

16:37.438 --> 16:39.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's Dr. John.

16:39.944 --> 16:40.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, I love it.

16:41.258 --> 16:43.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Andre, I'm the thief, right?

16:43.481 --> 16:44.282
[SPEAKER_00]: The tennis team.

16:44.302 --> 16:45.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, yeah, he was there.

16:45.584 --> 16:47.987
[SPEAKER_01]: They all went to school there.

16:48.047 --> 16:53.093
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, when they worked for State Street was a very prestigious place.

16:53.834 --> 16:55.516
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were treated very well.

16:55.576 --> 16:57.619
[SPEAKER_01]: And they met every celebrity in the world.

16:57.940 --> 17:03.106
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody who worked in Vegas, I served go on May food for six in the morning.

17:03.807 --> 17:08.413
[SPEAKER_01]: So rather than go to a coffee shop, they'd call it, I'd send the limousine and pick them up.

17:09.878 --> 17:10.639
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

17:11.079 --> 17:27.936
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love Gianni that your brain has always been one so sharp and that probably was because you were meant to sit still for a while when you were in that polio ward and I'll tell you what it paid off because your brain works a million miles an hour.

17:27.976 --> 17:36.544
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell everyone and I don't remember if it's in the book or if it's just because you told me but when you started

17:37.351 --> 17:43.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell everyone where you got the first cook that came a cook for you.

17:44.440 --> 17:47.664
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it in Paramp, the prison?

17:48.044 --> 17:50.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you get them out on a program to come in here?

17:50.628 --> 17:52.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was teaching them how to cook.

17:52.650 --> 17:53.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

17:53.471 --> 17:54.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, no.

17:54.432 --> 17:59.899
[SPEAKER_01]: I started a, well, I was a smart thing for me to do because they gave me a jackspirig.

18:00.352 --> 18:13.568
[SPEAKER_01]: And I went to I went to Jean prison in Jean Nevada where the big prison was and I called it I started a call on every school there and then they would deliver me people by the by the jail bus at night.

18:14.442 --> 18:16.925
[SPEAKER_01]: when they were getting ready to be released.

18:17.706 --> 18:19.209
[SPEAKER_01]: So it worked out well.

18:19.349 --> 18:21.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, for everybody was, you know.

18:21.952 --> 18:22.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, absolutely.

18:23.134 --> 18:32.687
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Jenny, if that's one thing I always say, if I had tons of money and wanted to start something, I would love to start something that could help people getting out of jail.

18:33.140 --> 18:41.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Because so many people get out, they try and find jobs, they've got a record, they've got this, they can't, they can't get back out and get reestablished.

18:41.347 --> 18:47.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And what you can teach in these guys a career, and helping them get jobin' it back into the workforce.

18:48.054 --> 18:50.736
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was a win-win, and it's amazing.

18:51.497 --> 18:53.739
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep those cards and let us come and we need them.

18:54.159 --> 19:02.927
[SPEAKER_01]: And we really want suggestions for guests that you may want to see over here on the show.

19:03.481 --> 19:04.983
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll reach out to you, believe me.

19:05.824 --> 19:07.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's funny you mentioned that.

19:07.606 --> 19:11.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt Servedo was on a while back and everybody just loved him.

19:11.470 --> 19:14.493
[SPEAKER_00]: He talked about his news shows that we're coming up.

19:14.834 --> 19:20.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Will, and they asked, this was Sherry and that she is from Arlington.

19:20.840 --> 19:24.124
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, well, you be having Matt Servedo back on the show.

19:24.224 --> 19:29.930
[SPEAKER_00]: He talked about his new upcoming movies with up to hear more of what he's got coming up.

19:29.950 --> 19:31.632
[SPEAKER_01]: I will make the call today.

19:32.084 --> 19:32.705
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

19:33.726 --> 19:33.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:34.147 --> 19:34.788
[SPEAKER_01]: It's casual.

19:34.808 --> 19:36.130
[SPEAKER_01]: You may seem right away.

19:37.251 --> 19:37.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:37.752 --> 19:38.793
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly right.

19:39.574 --> 19:39.995
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

19:40.756 --> 19:42.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get on to the other page.

19:45.062 --> 19:53.634
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fun hearing everybody and they love hearing your stories and having them kick up new ideas.

19:55.516 --> 19:56.758
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

19:57.481 --> 19:58.883
[SPEAKER_00]: This is from Maria.

19:59.264 --> 20:02.549
[SPEAKER_00]: You haven't mentioned resort's world in a while.

20:02.749 --> 20:06.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you still, is that still in the works?

20:07.056 --> 20:13.887
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had some setbacks as they try to open here in Ecuador.

20:14.069 --> 20:17.538
[SPEAKER_01]: and they just opened this week and they only opened one floor.

20:18.100 --> 20:29.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really don't know, you know, and that world right now is very fragile, because I never heard Vegas has six casinos.

20:29.932 --> 20:31.294
[SPEAKER_01]: going into bankruptcy.

20:32.135 --> 20:39.126
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard of casinos going bankrupt, but they changed the formats and people are not going for it.

20:39.146 --> 20:39.747
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going.

20:39.767 --> 20:42.151
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want to spend $17 for a drink.

20:42.431 --> 20:43.713
[SPEAKER_01]: They used to get them for nothing.

20:44.154 --> 20:46.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Paul Ross, parking was nothing.

20:46.678 --> 20:52.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's $50 to pocket quite a few of a resident and they want to avoid people in light coming.

20:52.266 --> 20:53.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

20:53.557 --> 21:08.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do think down there just every little thing the resort fees of this fee and like he said 17 dollars for a drink when you're sitting at the back deck table You sit there and play and and you drink all night.

21:09.627 --> 21:13.995
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's it's they tried the corporate world got involved with it.

21:14.718 --> 21:20.465
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, the corporate world years ago, my grandfather said, remember about corporations.

21:21.125 --> 21:22.327
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, what about a grandpa?

21:22.867 --> 21:25.471
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, they don't have a pulse or a conscience.

21:27.513 --> 21:28.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Think about it.

21:28.895 --> 21:30.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

21:31.297 --> 21:33.079
[SPEAKER_01]: You got a thing with people, hello.

21:34.701 --> 21:36.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that is wild.

21:37.178 --> 21:46.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is, you know, you look at Las Vegas and it just just to be the destination, you know, everybody's up to go down there.

21:46.166 --> 21:49.990
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're, they're, they're not the warlands is the big destination.

21:50.950 --> 21:53.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's going to the warlands for some reason.

21:53.733 --> 21:58.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know what I've heard the number one place for, um, Brides to have their Bridesmaids.

21:59.318 --> 22:00.839
[SPEAKER_00]: They're there for a party.

22:00.919 --> 22:02.241
[SPEAKER_01]: It used to be great.

22:02.961 --> 22:06.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, my son's in Nashville and that Broadway,

22:06.575 --> 22:11.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Street down the end Nashville is the new bachelor at party place.

22:12.341 --> 22:13.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

22:13.482 --> 22:14.363
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's it.

22:15.044 --> 22:17.446
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got to go with the flow, I'm a bit.

22:17.466 --> 22:22.572
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to readjust what you want to do, but not in the wrong way by charging people.

22:23.773 --> 22:25.094
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

22:25.415 --> 22:28.218
[SPEAKER_01]: People used to go to Vegas because whoever was given away.

22:28.898 --> 22:29.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

22:30.059 --> 22:30.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

22:31.081 --> 22:33.443
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be looking for those people again.

22:34.469 --> 22:36.912
[SPEAKER_00]: But people come with their paycheck selling the line.

22:37.453 --> 22:37.893
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

22:38.975 --> 22:40.136
[SPEAKER_00]: This is from Samuel.

22:40.517 --> 22:49.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was the first person you booked to work in your, you just mentioned that, to work in your state street?

22:50.429 --> 22:53.012
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just told us a man ago, but that was the question.

22:53.773 --> 22:57.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Who was the first person you booked when you opened state street?

22:57.588 --> 22:59.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there entertainment?

22:59.331 --> 23:00.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there entertainment?

23:00.312 --> 23:02.115
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, I sent a statement.

23:02.135 --> 23:05.340
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, Sonatra and the Rat Pack opened it.

23:06.402 --> 23:08.546
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a Friday and Saturday, charge me nothing.

23:08.586 --> 23:11.911
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I used to have performance come in there all the time.

23:12.332 --> 23:15.076
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to start drinking or whatever they want to get up and perform.

23:15.457 --> 23:24.912
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can even mention everybody that sang in that club, because we had live music and great food to six in a morning.

23:24.892 --> 23:35.044
[SPEAKER_01]: So, these performers, they, they want to perform and when they came in there, they got in the joys and, you know, Don Rickles get up on the stage and not drive, got on the stage.

23:35.064 --> 23:36.826
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, was that kind of a place?

23:37.707 --> 23:38.828
[SPEAKER_01]: And I made, I made it.

23:38.908 --> 23:48.199
[SPEAKER_01]: No, because once they got in, I'm sure he operators got on the phone and called all the taxi people and said, you would not believe who's performing at Stacey right now.

23:48.837 --> 23:53.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I can't even imagine and it was kind of that it was the hangout for the elites, right?

23:53.966 --> 23:54.768
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where everyone.

23:55.088 --> 23:57.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we've had Tony Orlando on this show.

23:59.316 --> 24:06.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Paul Anca and these guys would go to their big shows in Vegas and then after the show, they had to do it.

24:06.969 --> 24:08.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I want 30, my call.

24:08.693 --> 24:13.461
[SPEAKER_01]: I told him a thing for them to go and we'd send a call to go where I want to come in and it came in.

24:14.032 --> 24:16.957
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's not that kind of a place because they didn't want to go to bed.

24:16.977 --> 24:23.969
[SPEAKER_01]: They wouldn't have a dinner now while they could eat wine down and yeah, no, I've been blessed.

24:24.029 --> 24:30.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Engelberg, I mean, Tony Orlando, I mean, you name everybody's performed there.

24:30.440 --> 24:32.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only just came performed.

24:33.566 --> 24:39.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, and you look at it, you know, one of my favorite things, and I've said it a million times, is

24:39.783 --> 24:59.522
[SPEAKER_00]: when you will go through and pull out some of your pictures out of your photo albums, and the pictures just that I've seen, which I'm sure are dropping the bucket, sick, free, and Roy, I mean, all these different people that you are involved with.

24:59.682 --> 25:01.564
[SPEAKER_00]: It's incredible, you know?

25:03.026 --> 25:09.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I wrote my first club in Vegas, I was 19

25:09.871 --> 25:13.935
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in 1988, I opened state street, that was for 10 years.

25:14.736 --> 25:20.201
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, I had a great opportunity and made some money and a lot of friendships.

25:21.723 --> 25:39.000
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say, and you know the fun thing is, Gianna, when your friends come on, somebody said, well, you didn't talk very much in that show, and I think it might have been with either Paul Anca or with Tony or Lando, and I said, are you kidding me?

25:39.352 --> 25:56.915
[SPEAKER_00]: sitting and getting to listen to you and your friends, reminisce about the things that you used to do, and not only does it, it's just fun to hear about it, but it just solidifies everything you've ever told this.

25:57.375 --> 26:07.789
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, when Tony Orlando comes over and says, oh my gosh, when we got off work, you know, and we got to come sit down and have a glass of wine and relax after

26:08.056 --> 26:11.022
[SPEAKER_00]: They loved it as much as everybody else who came in there.

26:11.323 --> 26:11.744
[SPEAKER_00]: They did.

26:12.425 --> 26:13.247
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they came.

26:14.009 --> 26:14.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

26:14.710 --> 26:16.354
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the hangout for it.

26:16.715 --> 26:17.857
[SPEAKER_00]: That was their hangout.

26:18.258 --> 26:18.739
[SPEAKER_00]: So much.

26:19.661 --> 26:20.964
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's awesome.

26:22.086 --> 26:23.670
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

26:23.690 --> 26:23.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

26:24.188 --> 26:38.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, so this is Stanley he said when you first started out at the god in the godfather you hadn't had any acting lessons then you went on to do so many movies how many movies have you done?

26:38.054 --> 26:44.205
[SPEAKER_01]: 46 and it's incredible!

26:44.590 --> 26:54.885
[SPEAKER_01]: God, 46, I'm not just movies, I did see Vescah family man and he given Sunday was my biggest movie, I had 38 movie stars in that movie.

26:55.686 --> 27:05.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I had Charleston, Charleston, come out of retirement to play the, the commission of, of football.

27:05.532 --> 27:08.577
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was, I mean, I mean, it's so crazy.

27:08.617 --> 27:12.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm planning something now that is so big if it happens.

27:12.644 --> 27:19.536
[SPEAKER_01]: It's insane that they're going to make three movies out of my three books, full-end feature films.

27:19.877 --> 27:21.620
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nuts.

27:21.640 --> 27:23.664
[SPEAKER_01]: That will bring me to 49 films.

27:25.206 --> 27:28.452
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, and for someone who's never had any acting,

27:29.039 --> 27:43.016
[SPEAKER_00]: you would never know that from your first film, you know, the thought father, but then I've seen so many things, you know, you had Mario Brothers, you've seen Seabits get many, many times.

27:43.076 --> 27:44.478
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen any given Sunday.

27:44.558 --> 27:50.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen family men, you know, all these movies and you're a natural at it.

27:51.167 --> 27:52.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's amazing.

27:52.849 --> 27:53.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I just did it.

27:55.027 --> 28:05.022
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think my life after I was 12 years old, I had to act every day because I wasn't anybody.

28:05.423 --> 28:08.567
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to take on a persona that I'm somebody.

28:09.329 --> 28:11.191
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it worked.

28:12.373 --> 28:13.775
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it worked very well.

28:13.795 --> 28:17.321
[SPEAKER_00]: I told somebody that somebody said they were going somewhere.

28:17.361 --> 28:19.965
[SPEAKER_00]: And I used to tell my kids when they were little.

28:19.985 --> 28:21.507
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'd have to go somewhere.

28:21.942 --> 28:41.554
[SPEAKER_00]: and and I'd have to take them with me a lot and I would say where we go in listen there's no little kids here you're the only little kids so you're going to have to act you have your good manners and you act good you act like a big kid so nobody knows you're a little kid you know and I told I told my nephew and time life is enacting

28:42.125 --> 28:44.629
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, go in and act properly.

28:44.909 --> 28:47.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Act if you're a jackass, that's fine, but don't do it right here.

28:48.996 --> 28:51.900
[SPEAKER_00]: Go in, get along, do behave.

28:52.401 --> 28:55.886
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to like everybody, but act right, you know.

28:55.906 --> 28:59.131
[SPEAKER_00]: And you have met a woman.

28:59.391 --> 29:06.282
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's important that what you're saying to them because you know that when do you leave being a kid?

29:07.103 --> 29:08.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there a certain age?

29:08.225 --> 29:10.849
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's how they develop.

29:10.897 --> 29:13.861
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no book or guidelines.

29:14.462 --> 29:19.810
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to be able to let them know when to get stop acting like an idiot.

29:20.712 --> 29:23.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm very lucky.

29:23.396 --> 29:33.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had my kids have never been too out of line, but you know, you just go through life and you think, just don't go and be a pain in the butt to people.

29:33.131 --> 29:36.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't be a burden to people along the way, you know.

29:36.616 --> 29:38.659
[SPEAKER_00]: But I look at you and I've looked at your,

29:38.926 --> 29:40.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you were in the rockford files.

29:40.809 --> 29:42.852
[SPEAKER_00]: You were on Texas Ranger.

29:42.912 --> 29:47.459
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been in so many things and with no acting classes.

29:48.640 --> 29:50.343
[SPEAKER_01]: You were just able to pull it.

29:50.944 --> 29:54.188
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think, too, also, I mean, to be fair to everybody out there.

29:54.869 --> 30:02.681
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm most of the parts I play on, mostly one after the other, repetitious, you know, either a straw.

30:02.701 --> 30:03.482
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a style.

30:05.251 --> 30:07.597
[SPEAKER_01]: by my own Johnny Russo.

30:08.238 --> 30:08.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:08.960 --> 30:10.464
[SPEAKER_01]: And play Johnny Russo.

30:10.704 --> 30:12.870
[SPEAKER_00]: Johnny Russo, let's get Johnny Russo.

30:13.511 --> 30:14.413
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:14.433 --> 30:19.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I love it because it's been fun to watch you in all these different things.

30:20.248 --> 30:22.433
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's fun now because I can go back.

30:23.020 --> 30:29.406
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, one of my friends just the other day was trying to tell his wife, he was just being a smarty pants.

30:29.426 --> 30:32.349
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, sweetheart, I'm in a wine and dying you tonight.

30:32.489 --> 30:33.651
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take you home.

30:34.131 --> 30:36.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Make you a drink and we're going to watch Seabus get.

30:38.275 --> 30:41.599
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to turn on the charm, but he was going to get Seabus get to do it.

30:41.799 --> 30:43.440
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how he was starting out the evening.

30:44.161 --> 30:46.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, though.

30:46.163 --> 30:47.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, how romantic.

30:47.805 --> 30:49.627
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great compliment.

30:49.647 --> 30:50.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:50.427 --> 30:53.010
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, well, I, I would say that sounds a good one.

30:53.615 --> 30:54.716
[SPEAKER_00]: that is so funny.

30:55.397 --> 30:56.358
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

30:56.378 --> 30:58.500
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're, I see, this is the last one.

30:58.740 --> 31:01.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, do you plan on doing any more movies?

31:02.844 --> 31:03.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the next three.

31:04.786 --> 31:06.588
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I love the names of my book.

31:07.489 --> 31:11.412
[SPEAKER_01]: The names of my book and they're going to do them chronologically supposedly right now.

31:11.432 --> 31:19.240
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's in the works and that's going to be a great undertaking and a great privilege.

31:20.061 --> 31:21.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

31:21.442 --> 31:22.523
[SPEAKER_00]: it'll be amazing.

31:22.904 --> 31:26.047
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after you've filmed the $15 million each.

31:28.530 --> 31:51.077
[SPEAKER_00]: Gianni, the one thing I love about you and I need to do this and be better at it is you never mean you are so giving you take care you have your charity and you do that but when you are going to do something you know what you're worth you know you're worth you know I mean

31:51.327 --> 31:57.796
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's, well, you don't, I always would then, if I were to do something I wouldn't do would better than I did the lesson.

31:58.437 --> 31:58.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

31:59.358 --> 32:18.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So, well, yeah, and you got a mind for business that everything you do, I mean, you're making money, you're making opportunities, damn near daily, every time I talk to you, you've got something in the works, and it's so impressive to me how your mind goes so quickly from one,

32:19.424 --> 32:26.795
[SPEAKER_00]: thing after another, and I know you work all through the night, take some little cat naps and they're working with people on the other side of the planet.

32:27.897 --> 32:32.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the only thing about that to me is always been my life.

32:33.045 --> 32:39.254
[SPEAKER_01]: If I didn't stay sharp, I have friends that a lot, young and an I am, and then I'm doing anything.

32:40.016 --> 32:44.382
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I walk two miles every other day, I stay fit or try them.

32:45.163 --> 32:46.866
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you don't do it,

32:47.015 --> 32:50.659
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't take something out of something if you're not putting anything in.

32:52.060 --> 33:03.071
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly right, you know, and I know you and you enjoy it, you eat good, you do your exercise, you take such great care of yourselves, and it makes such a big difference.

33:03.091 --> 33:09.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I see people every day, you know, once they sit down, oh, no, you know, there's no getting back up.

33:10.819 --> 33:16.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's unfortunate, people feel that poor me and I can't do this, I can't do that, well, try it.

33:17.440 --> 33:21.504
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, exactly.

33:21.664 --> 33:23.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Gianni says things who can, right?

33:24.047 --> 33:35.519
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's one thing and Robert Bell thought you talked about how his family was always into taking care of people and giving to the community.

33:35.679 --> 33:42.747
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've had some friends and I have a friend that's been struggling with mental health and depression in this and that.

33:42.887 --> 33:43.988
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said,

33:43.968 --> 33:48.836
[SPEAKER_00]: you need to go do big brothers club or something.

33:49.337 --> 33:51.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Go fall and tear somewhere.

33:51.321 --> 33:52.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Go do something.

33:52.483 --> 34:01.538
[SPEAKER_00]: I find the people some of the people that I'm dealing with and I'm not saying it's everybody that are the most depressed are people that are sitting home thinking

34:01.771 --> 34:03.013
[SPEAKER_00]: how rough they've got it.

34:03.313 --> 34:04.996
[SPEAKER_04]: Or maybe, yeah, for me.

34:05.396 --> 34:09.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Take a walk outside or go, go work in a food kitchen.

34:09.302 --> 34:11.405
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what we're sleeping on the sidewalk.

34:11.685 --> 34:12.326
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

34:12.466 --> 34:15.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I just look at them and I just think, do you know, blessed you are?

34:15.451 --> 34:22.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Go help somebody that's really got it tough and see what it's really about.

34:22.441 --> 34:24.143
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's what's so wonderful.

34:24.203 --> 34:26.466
[SPEAKER_00]: You've gone through hard times.

34:26.546 --> 34:28.369
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, being in a polio ward,

34:28.805 --> 34:30.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are trying times for a young kid.

34:31.348 --> 34:33.531
[SPEAKER_01]: But even after that, there's been rough times.

34:33.631 --> 34:37.936
[SPEAKER_01]: We all have rough spots where you got to know how to weather it and get over it.

34:38.637 --> 34:38.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

34:39.358 --> 34:55.217
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, your foundation, I love that everything you do, like you said, that money goes right into those foundations and you know, look those up, everyone, their fantastic and their helping kids that need the help and I think it's fantastic.

34:56.463 --> 35:16.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one thing we were in a touch talk about just a little bit, and with the AI stuff, we talked about all the stuff that's going on with AI and how people could take your

35:16.882 --> 35:19.386
[SPEAKER_00]: and do whatever they want with it, right?

35:19.486 --> 35:20.688
[SPEAKER_00]: And pay the movie start.

35:21.148 --> 35:23.331
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, they can't, and they can't.

35:23.712 --> 35:29.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think what people like Taylor Swift and people like that, she educated me.

35:29.240 --> 35:33.546
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm incorporating myself my likeness, my voice, everywhere they can.

35:34.508 --> 35:38.253
[SPEAKER_01]: So now, my corporation will sue you for using the asset of our corporation.

35:38.273 --> 35:38.473
[SPEAKER_01]: That's me.

35:38.493 --> 35:38.594
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:38.614 --> 35:38.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:38.734 --> 35:45.724
[SPEAKER_01]: You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got it, you got

35:46.430 --> 35:50.697
[SPEAKER_01]: No, new technology, you've got to fight it with new ways of protecting yourself.

35:51.839 --> 35:55.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's amazing that people can do that.

35:56.186 --> 36:09.467
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I listen to podcasts all the time, but there was a podcast talking about these people were trying to do a remake of a movie and they were talking and very it was a very popular movie and they were going to do a part two.

36:10.021 --> 36:12.404
[SPEAKER_00]: But they were just going to do it with AI.

36:12.544 --> 36:15.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they were just feeding stuff into AI.

36:15.447 --> 36:16.569
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just a podcast.

36:16.589 --> 36:17.950
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, nothing real.

36:17.970 --> 36:20.453
[SPEAKER_00]: But they were just feeding it into AI.

36:20.513 --> 36:22.876
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were saying, use this guy's voice.

36:23.336 --> 36:27.381
[SPEAKER_00]: So the voice, and I was thinking, they're going to make this all up.

36:28.062 --> 36:31.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's just, you know, they're just making it up for a podcast.

36:31.365 --> 36:32.847
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought terrifying.

36:33.928 --> 36:37.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, it's that easy to do, unfortunately.

36:37.763 --> 36:48.618
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm glad for people like you Taylor Swift, anybody in East celebrity that people are safeguarding their selves and they're, I mean, that's your whole life.

36:48.658 --> 36:53.646
[SPEAKER_00]: And if someone can come in and start making all the money off something they make up, it's crazy.

36:54.407 --> 36:55.408
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's getting crazy.

36:56.530 --> 36:58.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that didn't.

36:58.132 --> 37:00.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you all for tuning in.

37:00.376 --> 37:02.218
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll be back next week.

37:17.833 --> 37:21.416

[SPEAKER_00]: We got to get him on the line.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anybody you guys want to see?

37:44.613 --> 37:45.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask questions about her.
