Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The people that you went through life with, went crazy with,
Speaker 1: railed against, screamed dad, were tended to all those different emotions.
Speaker 1: The fact that we can be this age and still

Speaker 1: I might get a little cry baby ish toward the
Speaker 1: end of the show, just relaxed. There's no alcohol in
Speaker 1: my system. I know that goes around the fucking uh
Speaker 1: what do you call it? The laundry pole. Just everything's fine.

Speaker 1: a lot of my mind, like I remember those people
Speaker 1: and when they when they're dead, it's it's ten times worse.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna talk too much about that, but
Speaker 1: I do want to say that every birthday Johnny Boy
Speaker 1: would always play.
Speaker 2: He would just call me, not even talk. He would
Speaker 2: just play.
Speaker 1: The Beatles song you say, it's your birthday, Dan, and
Speaker 1: it's my birthday too, yeah Dan, And they would just
Speaker 1: hang the funnel.
Speaker 2: I'd see him later that night. But that was our greeting.
Speaker 1: And every June second, Jackie and I would go to
Speaker 1: Magiano's where he worked, and and then we'd have a
Speaker 1: nice steak and lobster or whatever the fuck we want,
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, that was our birthday gift to
Speaker 1: one another. Rosalie calls me here, well, how did the
Speaker 1: doctor go? What are you doing? At a long conversation
Speaker 1: old men talk? I said, I got so many fucking
Speaker 1: pills in the medicine cabinet. Now people would I used
Speaker 1: to have a few bottles just for fun. Now let's
Speaker 1: all stay alive pills. And uh, she said, I know
Speaker 1: we're all there a jay blah blah bah. So she goes,
Speaker 1: I send you something. It's gonna come Thursday, all right,
Speaker 1: Should I.
Speaker 2: Tell you what it is? I said, why don't even
Speaker 2: buy something? Yeah? I don't. I got too many clothes.
Speaker 2: It's okay.
Speaker 1: I wear a T shirt. I wear black T shirts.
Speaker 1: That's all I wear in shorts. Now, it's not that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. All right, go ahead tell me.
Speaker 1: I got you two frozen pies from John's Peeker Bleaker Street,
Speaker 1: our favorite people, sausage and garlic. Johnny Brow he was
Speaker 1: just hanging the phone or be after you say it's
Speaker 1: your birthday, and Jack and I would have dinners together.
Speaker 2: That was wonderful. But other than that, I don't want.
Speaker 1: Oh, so Rosie says, I brought you two pizzas from
Speaker 1: John's Pizza from Bleaker Street, our favorite pie, sausage and garlic.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, row, those are expensive. I know what
Speaker 1: that costs. She did it once in Chicago, and uh,
Speaker 1: that means won't be than anything my past. That's where
Speaker 1: I got the nickname Pope. John's was something and all
Speaker 1: my family goes there. Our great friend Joey Calucci took
Speaker 1: us there in the early days in the eighties. Never
Speaker 1: I never heard of a pizza, but just sold pies
Speaker 1: and those slices. And when Jack was really ill and
Speaker 1: it's slung Kettering Hospital in Manhattan. It's a tough operation
Speaker 1: for cancer. And Joey was there because they're like best
Speaker 1: friends forever. We love their family and so the docs says, look,
Speaker 1: he's fine, he's gonna be resting for Oh. So when
Speaker 1: they took the surgery, the three of us go down
Speaker 1: to John's Pizza from fifty, I don't know, fifty eighth
Speaker 1: Street all the way to the village to get sausage
Speaker 1: and garlic pie. It's always like, you're gonna love this pie.
Speaker 1: We stink of garlic so bad. When we get back
Speaker 1: to the hospital, Jack's being wheeled into his room. Doctor says,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. You could talk to him. He's
Speaker 1: got a rest for all. So we've been down to
Speaker 1: talk to him Jack.
Speaker 2: Jack.
Speaker 1: The doctor says, she's gonna be fine, and he goes.
Speaker 1: He goes, what the fuck did you eat? This is
Speaker 1: right out of surgery. Anesthesia is still percolating his system.
Speaker 1: But that pie came with to sink my teeth into it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tremendous that those are gifts that in sherifish.
Speaker 1: You know, that's more than anything to me. So anyhow,
Speaker 1: let me start the show by saying, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: no matter what I do, I can never get away
Speaker 1: from all these celebrities talk. You know, don't mind you.
Speaker 1: I've been at this a long time. Never have celebrities
Speaker 1: talks so much as that's talking now, because we're getting
Speaker 1: down to their real personal lives and some people are
Speaker 1: going right to the edge but not taking you over
Speaker 1: the edge. And you know me, I don't. I never
Speaker 1: not give a name, I never not tell a complete story.
Speaker 1: I give you everything, even when I'm the bad guy,
Speaker 1: I tell you everything.
Speaker 2: That's just why I am.
Speaker 1: Some people want to get you to the edge and
Speaker 1: they just leave you there dangling like, Okay, what's the
Speaker 1: story though?
Speaker 2: Hit that? I hate that shit.
Speaker 1: It's the sound of celebrities voices talking about their lives
Speaker 1: and they're not giving you the full story.
Speaker 2: It's just grating to me. Gotta wash my hands with them.
Speaker 1: I can't them like Paul Slovino and Raliota and Goodfellas
Speaker 1: such an Italian thing. I gotta wash my hands. Yet
Speaker 1: maybe it isn't, but I only hear Italian say it.
Speaker 1: But if you remember that movie, and if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, go away, because you.
Speaker 2: Have to see that movie.
Speaker 1: And Godfather in Bronxtail and Casino, come on, it's time.
Speaker 1: But Paul Slovino is talking to Raliota and Ray promises
Speaker 1: him he's never gonna make money through drugs, as Manfiosa
Speaker 1: is not gonna do it. He promises no drugs. So
Speaker 1: Savina's an old school guy, doesn't want drugs around because
Speaker 1: that's how guys gets how old guys get pinched. So
Speaker 1: it's no, no, Paulie, I would never do that. And
Speaker 1: he smacks him in the face and that's not in
Speaker 1: the script, and you can see Leoda's beautiful blue eyes
Speaker 1: just perk up and look right right.
Speaker 2: Into the camera. It's scary.
Speaker 1: And he warns him and I'm not getting pinch for
Speaker 1: this shit the day. I'm too old for this shit. Yeah, PULLI,
Speaker 1: I got you. But then later on the movie, Leota
Speaker 1: gets pinched for selling drugs, a lot of drugs. He
Speaker 1: gets hooked on his own shit and he has to
Speaker 1: come crawling back to Savina because he's got no money.
Speaker 1: He needs help, and Savino just listens to the story,
Speaker 1: reaches in his pocket, gives them all the money. A
Speaker 1: nice fat bank roll in one pocket is here, take
Speaker 1: it now. I gotta wash my hands yet, and that's it,
Speaker 1: and Liota slucks salt, you know, just has to soak
Speaker 1: away and just walk away like I lost that friend
Speaker 1: for sucking up. That's how some of these celebrities make
Speaker 1: me feel. I want to say, I'm washing my hands
Speaker 1: of you and your bullshit stories. W Britney Spier's got
Speaker 1: a new hair do today. Kim Kardashian turned her on
Speaker 1: to her stylist. Now that I have straight she's gonna
Speaker 1: straighten her life out. These people are so vapid. Why
Speaker 1: don't you gonna help all the fucking billions you're have?
Speaker 2: In effect, get her.
Speaker 1: Help, take it to your house for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: go on vacation with her. Keep do something, tell her
Speaker 1: to get back on the meds. No, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: you a stylist. Oh Christ, at least her videos might
Speaker 1: look better, But for God's sake, do something that matters.
Speaker 1: Imagine know how to drug issue him in the hospital.
Speaker 1: Mike Canny, bring me a shirt and pairs with my parts?
Speaker 1: What the fuck is that gonna do for me? Or
Speaker 1: a free facial when I get out?
Speaker 2: Stupid? I don't know. I don't think they.
Speaker 1: I don't think they know these celebrities, nor do I
Speaker 1: think they care that whatever. Some of them talk too much.
Speaker 1: They know they lose fans, so they gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: It's all about who's following me, how many subscribers you've got.
Speaker 1: I gotta get this movie done, I gotta get this
Speaker 1: book published. I gotta be casting them. It's all about
Speaker 1: who's following me, and that makes them think they're leaders.
Speaker 1: But then I leaders. So glad, you know, like and
Speaker 1: they have these opinions. How glad are we that we
Speaker 1: didn't grow up knowing what Robert Mitcham thought about America,
Speaker 1: or what Gene Hackman felt of a Vietnam or who
Speaker 1: Lee Marvin voted for. Well more importantly, what famous man
Speaker 1: ever exposed himself to I don't know. Jessica Lyang, Deborah Winger,
Speaker 1: take your pick. So today I see an article Kristen Cavalery.
Speaker 1: I've always found sexy, even when she was on that
Speaker 1: stupid show We're going to Beach whatever the fuck out.
Speaker 1: I just remember her being popular boat then. She always
Speaker 1: was sexy to me, and still looks good. You know,
Speaker 1: had some work, got some tits thrown on the body.
Speaker 1: Everybody does out here. It's no big deal. It's I
Speaker 1: got a new car, not just to pay the ass.
Speaker 1: That's why she can't keep it. Man, that's pretty she
Speaker 1: might be so she and a lot of other celebrities
Speaker 1: like Hayden Pannetier. A couple of weeks back, they're talking
Speaker 1: about how famous men tried to bed them.
Speaker 2: I went to a party. Hayden said that.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend said, coming bedroom is somebody who want to
Speaker 1: meet And the man was in bed and he had
Speaker 1: just says underwear on.
Speaker 2: I gotta get out of here. Bullshit, honey.
Speaker 1: If the guy was that powerful, you fucked him or
Speaker 1: you did something else where, you got and you got
Speaker 1: in there because you know that money from heroes was
Speaker 1: gonna last forever, or you know Friday night lights whatever
Speaker 1: that Nashville, that's the one Nashville.
Speaker 2: They're all they're all talking at both sides of their mouths.
Speaker 1: They all are he wanted to bed meet? What a
Speaker 1: shock in Hollywood. A pretty girl had a powerful man
Speaker 1: come after it come on to her.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. Now. I've heard everything.
Speaker 1: But these people don't give they don't give a name.
Speaker 1: They never give a name. They got no balls because
Speaker 1: they want to keep going to parties. They want to
Speaker 1: keep giving me invites, you know, or they want to
Speaker 1: keep having sex with famous men. And then they want
Speaker 1: those new famous men to think. They kiss and tell,
Speaker 1: so they just don't care about their stories. They care
Speaker 1: about how it makes them look. Oh she still wanted
Speaker 1: Oh men still want it, but don't tell us the
Speaker 1: man's name. So she says this story in a podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna answer the podcast. I think it's called
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Who cares? You're probably making three times
Speaker 1: the money I make doing nothing being a nobody. But whatever,
Speaker 1: So Cavalary says, I went out twice with a very
Speaker 1: famous man maybe four years ago. Went to the Sunset
Speaker 1: Tower Hotel, beautiful restaurant, great place, then at.
Speaker 2: The Beverly Hills Hotel.
Speaker 1: So you have two fucking hotels, honey, that should give
Speaker 1: you an idea of what this guy wants to do.
Speaker 2: We had really two really great dates. Okay, well good,
Speaker 2: two of the best dates of my life.
Speaker 1: You would think on the second date they'd have sex
Speaker 1: if she was that enamored, But okay, whatever, she's a mommy.
Speaker 2: Maybe she felt like, I can't do that. Got a
Speaker 2: little for the kids. I don't know.
Speaker 1: She says, they got a sweet. Okay, that right there,
Speaker 1: you got a sweet, So you didn't.
Speaker 2: No, I don't buy it. Did you sleep on the couch?
Speaker 2: I don't buy it.
Speaker 1: We got a sweet We swam all day. We took
Speaker 1: showers separately, which I'm all for. I don't like showering.
Speaker 1: I haven't showered a in one hundred years. I find
Speaker 1: it so you don't get to write amount of water
Speaker 1: on you and having sex standing up.
Speaker 2: But that's doesn't work for me.
Speaker 1: No, sholler separately, and then we ate dinner on a
Speaker 1: patio for the second day.
Speaker 2: Okay, And the mystery man.
Speaker 1: She says, kept bringing up these insecurities about his body
Speaker 1: that you know that you just want to get over
Speaker 1: with when you first start dating somebody. At the time,
Speaker 1: she said, the guy goes out of the blue, he goes,
Speaker 1: I have a mole on my cock.
Speaker 2: It's not like that bad, but it's it's noticeable. Can
Speaker 2: I just show it to you? Ye? So he pulls
Speaker 2: it out, she says, first time I've ever seen it. Lie, Lie, Lie.
Speaker 2: She has kids.
Speaker 1: Now, kids are gonna read all this shit podcasts and
Speaker 1: stories that up there forever, so she can't let the
Speaker 1: kids know she's a Butana, I shouldn't even say that,
Speaker 1: She's sayingle she could do.
Speaker 2: What the fuck she wants. First time I've seen.
Speaker 1: It, I don't see anything. I think you said. The
Speaker 1: mark was more flesh code like a white mole, a
Speaker 1: white molt. Run, get the fuck a white mull and
Speaker 1: his penis. Get out of there. Didn't do anything with
Speaker 1: that dick that was in my face. Okay, she's so
Speaker 1: tough and self assured. She later decided that's probably what
Speaker 1: he tells every girl to get his thing out of
Speaker 1: his pants, because once your think is out of your pants,
Speaker 1: it's pretty common to get intimate.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it again. They got intimate.
Speaker 1: Put it away, we know, she tells the podcast host,
Speaker 1: you know what that you know, you know that's what
Speaker 1: he does to other girls. Okay, so, and this is mean,
Speaker 1: This is mean, but I think you know, he's kind
Speaker 1: of known for having a big one, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: that big. I think that's what the insecurity was really about. Okay,
Speaker 1: keep bashing, keep bashing, Go ahead, she said, can I
Speaker 1: be honest with you? Changing out of a swimsuit, he
Speaker 1: had the flattest ass and the horrible backne scars. We
Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry, buddy. That's one of my
Speaker 1: biggest That was the last time, I have a s
Speaker 1: arm and she's so.
Speaker 2: Glad she didn't do more than make out with him.
Speaker 2: You did more.
Speaker 1: She called him bad news, claiming she couldn't have dodged
Speaker 1: a bigger bullet because he later revealed himself to be
Speaker 1: a full blown narcissist who wanted to control her.
Speaker 2: But you never talked to him again, he thought, So,
Speaker 2: how do you know that? I don't get it.
Speaker 1: She won't name this Celeberty says she doesn't want to
Speaker 1: quote anyone to be able to pinpoint who this could be.
Speaker 1: We get what that means when you don't want to name,
Speaker 1: so we understand what you're doing it for. And she's
Speaker 1: never studied publicly about her dating hit. She never included
Speaker 1: his name in her dating history. So that's really nice.
Speaker 1: So you don't want to warn other girls who might
Speaker 1: date this creepy guy, as you say, he is what
Speaker 1: upenut a girl?
Speaker 2: Palla women stick together? Feminist feminism? How about me too?
Speaker 2: Is all that down the drain. Everything about this story
Speaker 2: is alive. They're all full of shit.
Speaker 1: If my mother could have this stuff, she would say,
Speaker 1: your sister's asked with this one, which is like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any more of this crap.
Speaker 1: And my mother is the main reason why I fell
Speaker 1: in love with gossip, because she would sit there and
Speaker 1: lick her fingers through three different newspapers and wrote a Barrett,
Speaker 1: Liz Smith, Cindy Adams, and she would always talk to
Speaker 1: me about who went to this, Who's who's having an affair,
Speaker 1: who's with this one? She loved Hollywood, So I know
Speaker 1: I talk about it my father confiantly. But if my
Speaker 1: mother's not reading me gossip pages at the kitchen table,
Speaker 1: I'm eating cereal, what do I become?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm still the sports rather.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I would never have the stories
Speaker 1: I have, So thanks Mom, love you, but you know.
Speaker 1: And then Joy O'Connell, who I like, I like. I
Speaker 1: know he's a castrated man. I get it. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to rock the boat. He's got a ex supermodel wife,
Speaker 1: Rebecca Romain, two nice daughters who are big liberals, and
Speaker 1: so is his wife.
Speaker 2: And you know, I make fun of him.
Speaker 1: He's on some of these podcast that they put up
Speaker 1: on the I don't know, Twitter or whatever one of
Speaker 1: those platforms, and he's telling the story into a camera
Speaker 1: to these two guys in the studio and I never
Speaker 1: I never thought him to be very handsome, but he was.
Speaker 1: He looked really good, the dungaree jacket on a T shirt,
Speaker 1: and he was talking really quickly about you know, fifteen.
Speaker 2: I mean, I always I love la. I came to like,
Speaker 2: I got famous here. I'm in this town. I'm from
Speaker 2: New York. You know.
Speaker 1: I make a movie and suddenly I'm getting work and
Speaker 1: I'm fifteen years in. I'm going to parties and we're
Speaker 1: going to night clubs and I'm having sex with beautiful women.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was amazing, drinking, it was crazy. And
Speaker 1: in one night I go to a party and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they came after me, and the host like who,
Speaker 1: he goes, who are the church? Because I don't want
Speaker 1: to say name. I don't want to say I'm not
Speaker 1: saying a name. I'm not saying a name. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's the Church of Scientific Just say the fucking name
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you the story in a second.
Speaker 2: They came after me. You gotta have balls. They didn't
Speaker 2: shoot me, they didn't kill me. They don't want you.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: He's got a great living. His wife makes a fortune.
Speaker 1: He does all himself to you don't want to rock
Speaker 1: the boat, okay, but where's your manhood? So he goes
Speaker 1: to a party, big house, and he's like, I'm at
Speaker 1: a club and a couple of pretty girls are like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to on the after party.
Speaker 2: He's like, let's go in La.
Speaker 1: It's all about the after party or the after hours,
Speaker 1: because things shut down so early. He's still revenue go
Speaker 1: at one o'clock in the morning, especially if you start
Speaker 1: going out to eleven eleven PM.
Speaker 2: You only got two hours and you got three more
Speaker 2: to go. Yeah, let's go. He goes. We're taking these roads.
Speaker 1: Up to the Hollywood Hills and there's director's signs posted
Speaker 1: a way to go. And we get to this house,
Speaker 1: a big gate, big big mansion, and he's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if.
Speaker 2: I want to come on, come on, come on, let's
Speaker 2: come on. That's fine. So he goes in.
Speaker 1: And if you wanted to smoke cigarette, you had to
Speaker 1: go outside, and he was smoking back then. So he
Speaker 1: goes to this camp with a bunch of sand in
Speaker 1: it and he's smoking alone. He said he needed two
Speaker 1: cigarettes in a row, which I don't have that addiction.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that feels like, but he
Speaker 1: had to do it. And as he's puffing away really
Speaker 1: strong and wondering what the hell's gonna happen because he
Speaker 1: kind of feels like you're in a row place, some
Speaker 1: guy walks up to him and I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you want a cigarette?
Speaker 2: When smoking is no? I quit that, man, I quit that. Really?
Speaker 2: How'd you do it?
Speaker 1: He goes the lasers, the lasers, but this is a
Speaker 1: big scientology thing.
Speaker 2: What do you mean the lazer? He goes, call this number,
Speaker 2: asks us, and so here's where you go.
Speaker 1: And he does it and he gets this building look
Speaker 1: like a place where you can get help, you know.
Speaker 2: And the person that comes out is this gorge like
Speaker 2: he said, she was like a.
Speaker 1: Playboy model, gorgeous, toll curvy, the whole thing, just gorgeous.
Speaker 2: She's got a clipboard and she's like she hands him.
Speaker 1: A bunch of pages to fill out, and all these
Speaker 1: pages they're asking. He's like, what are you most embarrassed of?
Speaker 1: What are your biggest desires? Who do you not like?
Speaker 1: What's the biggest mistakes she made? These are all the
Speaker 1: things scientology has over you, so that if you want
Speaker 1: to get out or if you bad, not anybody, they
Speaker 1: can come back at you with this information and they
Speaker 1: can make this information public. So he's like, I don't
Speaker 1: want and he starts to fill out like an idiot.
Speaker 1: Then he realizes no, no, no, they're not gonna get me,
Speaker 1: and he tells the girl, listen, I'm not gonna do this.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the helping. He does.
Speaker 1: Gonna here a real doctor, a real specialist to help him.
Speaker 1: They can need a hypnotiza, but scientologst use lasers. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck that even means, but I
Speaker 1: know that when I hung out with Jones Severance for
Speaker 1: a while, I didn't know she was Scientology, and we
Speaker 1: had a few dates and go back to her house
Speaker 1: and I loved her bathroom. Was her bathroom was like
Speaker 1: a shrine.
Speaker 2: To her, her.
Speaker 1: Modeling pictures, her playboy layouts and naked like big pictures
Speaker 1: above the tub, and it was just like one of
Speaker 1: the first houses I was in of somebody famous outside
Speaker 1: of Robert Evans and Nicholason, of those guys.
Speaker 2: And I was like in awe of this bathroom, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, God's so fucking cool.
Speaker 1: So I go back outside to the kitchen, with her,
Speaker 1: and she's washing the fucking kitchen tables, the countertops with
Speaker 1: a bottle looked like water, but it was vodka. She
Speaker 1: believed in cleaning with vodka. Now she didn't drink, but
Speaker 1: that what she cleaned with. She said it was better
Speaker 1: than typical stuff at the store.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's when she wanted me. I think I was feeling
Speaker 1: a little sick or something. She asked me to hold
Speaker 1: those little silver things these guys holding their hand when
Speaker 1: they get initiated into scientology.
Speaker 2: I figure of the cold.
Speaker 1: I should have looked it up, but I didn't do
Speaker 1: it because I knew back then, because I'd written about scientology.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, Jones was scientilgic.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this. And then we never saw each
Speaker 1: other again. But she it's a very obviously it's a
Speaker 1: very weird cult. I mean it's so weird. Tom, Tom Cruise,
Speaker 1: you never said you're never gonna see Katie Holmes get
Speaker 1: married again ever, because there's a pack they made, she made,
Speaker 1: or Tom made with her through Scientology that even though
Speaker 1: he never sees Surrey, Surry gets a fat, multi, multi
Speaker 1: multi thousand dollars check every month and that'll go through
Speaker 1: the rest of her life for her and Katie, as
Speaker 1: long as Katie never marries again. This is what these
Speaker 1: people do. This one gets sucked up in your head.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad Jerry said the story, but just say scientology.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't say it. That bothers me. I like Tom
Speaker 1: Hardy was. I love him as an actor, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite actors. He's off the show mob Land, right,
Speaker 1: and he was always late on, said he had the
Speaker 1: problems and he was laid on seconds there, was handing
Speaker 1: him copy of monologues the day of the shoot.
Speaker 2: And actors don't like to work that way.
Speaker 1: You want to come to work knowing what you're gonna
Speaker 1: say when you get there the night before, not constant
Speaker 1: script changes where holy shit, there's a whole new thing
Speaker 1: going on. You got five minutes to learn that monologue.
Speaker 1: That's a pain in the ass. That's real work. So
Speaker 1: he didn't like that, but he said it really got
Speaker 1: down to brass tacks where Helen Mirren is on the show.
Speaker 1: I don't like the show. I just love Hardy, But
Speaker 1: Helen Mirroon's on the show, and she was talking about
Speaker 1: how important is for these free Palestine marches in her
Speaker 1: home country of England, and at that point Hardy just
Speaker 1: looked at her and said, I'm getting the fuck out
Speaker 1: of it, and he walked out of the shoot the
Speaker 1: shoot and just never went back. He had a two
Speaker 1: year contracts. I only like he let them lurch, but
Speaker 1: he walked out and they reached out to Colin Farrell
Speaker 1: to portray him. I always say his name was Adris Elba.
Speaker 1: They both turned it down, so who knows, but at
Speaker 1: least he said something. At least he started from stuff
Speaker 1: like I'm not about free Palestine. Fuck you bitch, I'm
Speaker 1: out good. I know she's the grond dom of Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but have some nuts. Of course, Tom Hardy is not.
Speaker 1: You can see his face, not on his face, in
Speaker 1: his face. Everybody talks and bullshit walks. My father loves
Speaker 1: saying that. Or money talks and bullshit walks.
Speaker 2: Same thing.
Speaker 1: My father was a stickler for honesty, no matter how
Speaker 1: it might have him viewed. And I was starting to think,
Speaker 1: like all the men I befriended, the famous men, I
Speaker 1: got friendly with very controversial men who say what the
Speaker 1: fuck they want to say, whether it's Sean Penn, Nicholson
Speaker 1: Howard's done, Harvey wants to he sliced alone. I'm forgetting
Speaker 1: another hundred. They're all the same, Steven Tyler actually go
Speaker 1: on and on. They're all controversial guys who just tell
Speaker 1: the truth. If you don't like it, too bad. That's
Speaker 1: the way I feel. I love that because that's the
Speaker 1: way my father was, and to me, that's the blueprint
Speaker 1: for a man. So he didn't care how he was viewed.
Speaker 1: He was also a man like me who wore every
Speaker 1: emotion on his sleeve. One of my one of my patrons,
Speaker 1: sent me a note. I just saw Rocky Bubble. He
Speaker 1: was so good in that movie. You should go out
Speaker 1: from all rolls. You were really great. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But Hollywood's change, and I'm a straight
Speaker 1: white conservative, anti trans forget it.
Speaker 2: It's just I'll never get past the steps. All they
Speaker 2: got do is check my check my Twitter, check my Instagram.
Speaker 2: I'm done.
Speaker 1: I know I can still do it. I can still
Speaker 1: do it because I have my emotions at half an
Speaker 1: inch under my skin. Every emotion comes out in a second.
Speaker 2: So uh say, now, I'm calm.
Speaker 1: The doctor told me you how blood pressure is high?
Speaker 1: I said, you gave me the new pill, but it's
Speaker 1: still high. He says, double the dose. We got to
Speaker 1: figure this out, I says, I'm also sicilian. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I a lot of things going on. I
Speaker 1: got to finish his book. I got two shows to tape.
Speaker 1: My son's graduating. I need another job. I lost the
Speaker 1: poker show. I got shit on my mind, man, I know,
Speaker 1: I know. I said, all right, well, maybe blood pressure
Speaker 1: numbers should be higher nowadays because the world's going as
Speaker 1: shit and we all see it. You know, New York
Speaker 1: America was the melting pot. Now it's the witch's cauldron.
Speaker 1: It's disgusting what's happened to this country. And I feel it.
Speaker 2: He just laughs. But you know, I love I love
Speaker 2: that passion. You know my father.
Speaker 1: I saw him through punches as quickly as I saw
Speaker 1: him break down and cry one the first time when
Speaker 1: our dog died. And then one Sunday we were driving
Speaker 1: in his caddy to buy some liquor to take home.
Speaker 1: We're listening to the radio show on an AM dial back.
Speaker 1: Then with AM had all the great tastes. Back then,
Speaker 1: all the great stations were AM, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: even though they couldn't hear him under a tunnel order
Speaker 1: an overpass. But they were the rest music stations, and
Speaker 1: the show we listened to was Gumbata Joe Rotolo's Italian Hour,
Speaker 1: very Italian song to tell in comics, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like twelve years old in the car and of
Speaker 1: course windows are closed. He's pulling on a Winston cigarette
Speaker 1: and he would turn up the doll whenever Pat Cooper
Speaker 1: the comic came on. Pat's Dead Now. But I eventually
Speaker 1: got friendly with him and met him and Howard Stern,
Speaker 1: very passionate, crazy as Sicilian guy. Pasquale Caputo's his real name,
Speaker 1: but he went by Pat Cooper. You probably know who
Speaker 1: he is, didn't suffer fools, was probably his own worst enemy.
Speaker 1: But funny as the day is long, and he would
Speaker 1: do his comedy. My father would belly laughed so hard,
Speaker 1: and honestly, he's like the way he talked, It's like
Speaker 1: the way I am now, but he had a lot
Speaker 1: more punchlines.
Speaker 2: But I'm the same way, Hi low high low.
Speaker 1: But but then seconds, you know, Cooper would tell a
Speaker 1: joke and then start talking about his mother and his
Speaker 1: voice would crack and you go, wow, he just went
Speaker 1: from being so angry at somebody to almost crying because he.
Speaker 2: Mentioned the word mother, Well, mama. Unbelievable, and that's maybe.
Speaker 1: You know, there's other racist nationalities out there who are
Speaker 1: like that, but to me, Southern Italians are the most
Speaker 1: like that. I could be wrong, but that's the way
Speaker 1: I feel. If you can see my hands right now,
Speaker 1: they haven't stopped movements that I sat down.
Speaker 2: That's me. And I can answer every phone call, but
Speaker 2: I can't. I'll cry. I'll cry all day.
Speaker 1: If ever I have like sixteen calls and texts, I
Speaker 1: forget about it. I love you all, but if I did,
Speaker 1: I I get nothing done today, I'll do it all tomorrow,
Speaker 1: I promise.
Speaker 2: I love you all. I love you all.
Speaker 1: And then Louis Prima will come on right. Louis Prima,
Speaker 1: my father always maybe listen to his music, and of
Speaker 1: course we know the song just a Jiggelow, but that
Speaker 1: song goes into I ain't got nobody, I ain't got
Speaker 1: nobody nobody. It's a great He's signed with Killy Smith,
Speaker 1: and towards the end of that song, Louis Prima shouts
Speaker 1: out only Italian expressions while Killey Smith, who he had
Speaker 1: a very long affair with sing so.
Speaker 2: Beautifully under and over. It's gorgeous.
Speaker 1: You should listen to go to YouTube and look up
Speaker 1: I Ain't got Nobody slash. I know, justin Chigolow slash,
Speaker 1: I Ain't got nobody. Oh my god, it's so great.
Speaker 1: Still makes me get misty. And at the end of
Speaker 1: the song he's he's saying to the world, I ain't
Speaker 1: got nobody to love me. And he's saying there's no one,
Speaker 1: no and that the band would yell back, no one,
Speaker 1: no one, nobody, nobody.
Speaker 2: They keep, you know, parrotying each other.
Speaker 1: And at the very end he does these Italian expressions
Speaker 1: that nude nude, la scurry and scurtyes. I say it, oh,
Speaker 1: and I know what that meant as a kid. But
Speaker 1: that's the Silian. You can't even look that up in
Speaker 1: a dictionary.
Speaker 2: It's Sicilian.
Speaker 1: It's a dialect. It's not got arab in it too.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, so different than notly time, which is sing songy.
Speaker 1: This is like guttural, you know, like I've told you
Speaker 1: Sicilians for beautiful bed da Sicilian's bed dude. It's different,
Speaker 1: it's harder, it's tougher, it's darker, it's almost sinister. So
Speaker 1: he looks at me and he says, you know, what's
Speaker 1: oum means a sicilian? I said, no, Dad, tell me.
Speaker 1: He says, Louis wants to get ladies. Asked a woman,
Speaker 1: you want it tonight? Stars saying to me, is tonight?
Speaker 1: Ooh you you want it?
Speaker 2: I said, ooh ah, okay, Dan twelve years old.
Speaker 1: Can He told the story last week on the Everything
Speaker 1: Is a Bit show where we're talking about women's behinds whatever,
Speaker 1: just guide talk.
Speaker 2: And he says, you know, he does not like a
Speaker 2: flat ass. I said, well, you know, you know, I
Speaker 2: like a round are too.
Speaker 1: But sometimes you know, if the girl's beautiful and got
Speaker 1: a nice rack, and you know, like it depends like
Speaker 1: you got to give up something that everybody don't have everything,
Speaker 1: I says, And you know, for girls in a position,
Speaker 1: the certain position, every yes looks kind of good. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my father told me you're twelve years old. If you
Speaker 1: bend them over their old sisters, what the fuck does
Speaker 1: that even mean? But we still remember it fifty some
Speaker 1: odd years later. That's twelve year old wisdom from a
Speaker 1: father who to his twelve year old son.
Speaker 2: And I even told.
Speaker 1: Rocker the other day, we're talking about girlfriends and stuff.
Speaker 1: He doesn't say much. You know, he got friendliest in school.
Speaker 1: He got I voted the friendliest, which made my heart
Speaker 1: swell with pride the fact that he's friendliest. You know,
Speaker 1: at this year, this age, she'd go and stealing money
Speaker 1: from the cool school class and throwing a barbecue. We
Speaker 1: were going to get big cases of beer at Jackie
Speaker 1: Wren's beverage. Waddy, he would throw them over the fence.
Speaker 1: We'd rob him. Forget what we would to forget going
Speaker 1: to the city with the hookers. You know, my son
Speaker 1: goes to the beach, has a party. I gotta get
Speaker 1: maddle them. So I said, look, be careful, see you week.
Speaker 1: I know what's coming. Watch your ass. This whole summer
Speaker 1: is going to be fucking crazy. Just please, I can't.
Speaker 1: It's killing me. My mother was right, you know, I said,
Speaker 1: you know you do something stupid. Rockall I I got
Speaker 1: the money for rehab. I can't say in the malleable.
Speaker 1: I'm not that kind of father. All right, So I'm
Speaker 1: telling you now, I said I did everything. I'm crazy, Okay,
Speaker 1: I said all the Benz is the men had issues
Speaker 1: with addiction. My father, his brothers, me, Jackie, Joey, my
Speaker 1: cousins Gregory and Raymond. We're crazy men. We'll give you
Speaker 1: the shirts off of back. We'll help you with anything
Speaker 1: you want, but we're nuts. So watch your ass. If
Speaker 1: you got that gene. Oh my god, I can't get
Speaker 1: more grave than I already am. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do to me. I don't know, Dad,
Speaker 1: I said, I know what it's like. I said, you
Speaker 1: think I still don't get urges rock? Are you still
Speaker 1: you know I have no an nswery for a couple
Speaker 1: of years. You still think I want to go out there?
Speaker 1: I says, Sometimes the old line wants to take down
Speaker 1: the antelope. We want to see if we still got
Speaker 1: that that speed, that power that vigored. Are we still
Speaker 1: king of the jungle? I know, Dad, and he's smiling,
Speaker 1: God bless him. So that's the wisdom from my father,
Speaker 1: he said on his good late I said, oh, I
Speaker 1: can't take it so perfect. And you know it's written
Speaker 1: on Louis Primu's grave because in the end of the song,
Speaker 1: he says, when when the end comes, I know they'll
Speaker 1: say justin Gigaelo life goes.
Speaker 2: On without me. That's on his tombstoke and he was right.
Speaker 2: He was right.
Speaker 1: But getting back to uh, instant emotions which I inherited.
Speaker 1: Roxy did too. She can fly after not at me,
Speaker 1: but at things things piss her off. Not rock O
Speaker 1: sweetest care not yet anyhow, He's calm and measured. But
Speaker 1: h so on the car my father, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: show their different levels of passion, aggression, and sweetness and
Speaker 1: tenderness and toughness. Goubada Joe puts on a beautiful old
Speaker 1: song called Mama. I have to call this music, oh
Speaker 1: men music when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: Now I listened to it.
Speaker 1: I have to run to get a tissue. I can't
Speaker 1: stop crying, and I might write now the song Mama.
Speaker 2: This version was sung by Jerry Vale.
Speaker 1: Everybody sings it, Connie Francis, Andrea Boceelly Pavarotti, they all
Speaker 1: sing It's beautiful song.
Speaker 2: But the lyrics of this song.
Speaker 1: Maybe I said this years ago, but we're in the
Speaker 1: quiet of that Cadillac with the windows up, and uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sing it. But the lyrics of Mama,
Speaker 1: those happy days when you were here beside me, safe
Speaker 1: in the glow of your love sent from the heavens above.
Speaker 1: Nothing can never replace the warmth of your tender embrace.
Speaker 1: Oh Mama, But my most beautiful song is you. You
Speaker 1: are life. For the life of me, I will never
Speaker 1: leave you again. And I take a peek at my father,
Speaker 1: who's got tears streaming down his cheeks. My mother was
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer that summer, cervical cancer. But I think
Speaker 1: he was thinking about his mother. Uh and my mother's
Speaker 1: mother who he loved, Pipanella, we called it. I wasn't
Speaker 1: ana lie, but her name is Josephine. That's how that's
Speaker 1: why I'm out for joseph But they called the Pipanella
Speaker 1: or Pippini doing Sicilian. That's Josephine in Sicilian. He loved
Speaker 1: her and she loved him. And I see tears run
Speaker 1: down his cheeks. You know, this is the guy who
Speaker 1: I saw beat that guy's up and pull a gun
Speaker 1: out and fucking.
Speaker 2: Forget about it. But what lyrics, right? What beautiful?
Speaker 1: Let me know the next time a rapper sings a
Speaker 1: song about his mother, that's beautiful as mama. Only Tupac
Speaker 1: did it with dear Mama, and I always believe Tupaca
Speaker 1: had a little Sicilian in him. Two but I realized
Speaker 1: I said yesterday, I'll talk about you for you today.
Speaker 1: You know, well say that for tomorrow, because you know
Speaker 1: it's my birthday. I felt differ and I feel a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, light on my feet. I wanted
Speaker 1: to get you up to date on my health situation
Speaker 1: for some sick of talking about by the way, but
Speaker 1: my sister Lorraine.
Speaker 2: Was a hypochondriac. Now maybe she was right.
Speaker 1: Baby, she had gatzas I didn't know about, but we
Speaker 1: always thought the rain and you're fine, stopped talking.
Speaker 2: But she was like twenty five at least I'm sixty
Speaker 2: four with the gotsas.
Speaker 1: Anyhow, gang, all these medicine bottles in my cabin in
Speaker 1: the kitchen make me think of my father the day.
Speaker 2: He had a heart attack.
Speaker 1: Because when he had a heart attack, well, he took
Speaker 1: a stress test and it wasn't a good result, so
Speaker 1: they gave nitrochlspering tablets.
Speaker 2: He didn't take him like a lot of old men.
Speaker 2: He just threw him in the fucking cabinet, didn't care
Speaker 2: where they were. That was for my mother to find right, Literally,
Speaker 2: gave me a night truck listery because she knew where
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: He had no idea. One day, I come home from college.
Speaker 1: My mother's working and uh, I don't see my father
Speaker 1: was his day off. So Dad, I go in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: All these medicine bottles to orange amber bottles are on
Speaker 2: the floor.
Speaker 1: Pills are on the floor, Like, what the fuck is
Speaker 1: going on? And I realized, I said, he had a
Speaker 1: heart attack. And I went to Good Smarton which is
Speaker 1: less than a mile away from the house. He's up
Speaker 1: there in the emergency room. He had two lot attacks
Speaker 1: in a row, and there was a bucket on the
Speaker 1: bed if you wanted to throw up. And he's kicking
Speaker 1: the bucket as I went and what happened? He goes,
Speaker 1: I'm kicking the bucket and he's kicking the bucket with
Speaker 1: his foot to say I'm dying.
Speaker 2: What happened to that? He said? They said, a couple
Speaker 2: of heart attacks. Why is the kitchen like that?
Speaker 1: I couldn't find the fucking nightra I don't know where
Speaker 1: your mother puts the fucking pills. I said, sometimes put
Speaker 1: him in your pocket. It's your hard.
Speaker 2: They let him go.
Speaker 1: They give him this big thing. Nowadays, you know you've
Speaker 1: got a pacemaker now. Back in the old days, they
Speaker 1: gave this thing he hung around his neck. It was
Speaker 1: this big contraption. No hard work, no stress, go down,
Speaker 1: put your feet up, calm down, take it easy. Well
Speaker 1: then an hour he's mowing the lawn with no shirt on,
Speaker 1: with the fucking modeler on his chest. They're different men,
Speaker 1: different people. I miss them. They were honest, they were true.
Speaker 1: They said things you maybe always didn't want to hear.
Speaker 1: But if you wanted the truth about anything in life,
Speaker 1: that's who you went to. You know why they were
Speaker 1: that good because they were uncensored. I know some people
Speaker 1: text me and say, you know, when you do the
Speaker 1: show with Kenny, I hear you sniffling and coughing, or
Speaker 1: you're blowing your nose. I don't give a shit. The
Speaker 1: show's uncensored. Look, you're not coming to a beautiful art
Speaker 1: studio where everything's pristine on the walls. This is a
Speaker 1: fucking a Soho loft in the nineteen seventies. There's paint
Speaker 1: on my head, paint on my hat. The couch is
Speaker 1: wet with paint, there's portraits.
Speaker 2: This is who I am. I'm never gonna change.
Speaker 1: I talk from parts of my body I don't even
Speaker 1: know have thoughts yet, but they all come out of
Speaker 1: my mouth. So this is who I am. And if
Speaker 1: you don't like to hear a sniffle or a cough,
Speaker 1: I can't fuck it. I what I'm gonna do? What
Speaker 1: am I gonna do?
Speaker 2: Change for a couple of people? Or be myself? I
