That's it, that's life, that's 210 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.399 what he's owed. And I says, you know, I'm you know, 211 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.000 I saw a clip of al Pacino in the movie 212 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.440 Injustice for All and Justice for All, and I'm telling ZeVA, 213 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.240 I grew up in a house. It was a fucking opera. 214 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.759 One minute, we could be screaming on each other, fuck you, 215 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.919 the next minute collapsing in each other's arms in love. 216 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.759 You know we did. That's how my family was like that, 217 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:25.840 just just every every emotion was a hair away. It's 218 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.159 why I like to act, because I can summon up 219 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.159 those emotions so quickly. You know, I could cry on 220 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.679 a dime. I could get angry, you fucking name it. 221 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.039 I watched people do this on Instagram. I'm like, you 222 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.840 need you know, you need thirty seconds to get angry 223 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.639 or sarcastic. What the fuck is? Just come out with 224 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:48.039 it now now as good as me. They're not. Well, 225 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.799 it was I I'm so all over the place. I'm sorry, 226 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.120 so I said to ZeVA, I said, yeah, I grew 227 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.799 up in an opera, man, it was that was my house. 228 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.879 And then I see this clip of al Pacino going 229 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.919 bananas and he's telling the whole courtroom that the guy 230 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.720 he's representing is a piece of shit. He's got able 231 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.799 to jail and you're out of or this whole courtrooms out, 232 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.879 you know, that kind of thing. He's spitting, you know, 233 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.399 his emotional his lips are wet, and a lot of us, 234 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.039 you know, think about Robert de Niro as the greatest 235 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:27.000 Italian actor, and I DeNiro has done tremendous movies. I 236 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.200 hate his politics, but fuck if he's not a great actor. 237 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.879 But you know what, Pacino's more us. There's nothing understated 238 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:40.720 about Pacino. He talks loud like, he just gets into it. 239 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:49.120 He doesn't let any you know, parameters make him do less. 240 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.759 He just he's very you know what he's just I 241 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.639 love that he's just so out front. And I remember, 242 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.679 you know, I've told his story, and uh, I was 243 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.639 a and we're fighting about Trump whatever the fuck. And 244 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.679 she went to the bathroom and she leaves crying, and 245 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.159 Pacino's with this girl. By the way, he's gonna have 246 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.120 another baby now, he's this is insane. And Bill Maher 247 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.240 takes this girl out too. I don't know what's going on. 248 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:25.639 I know, but she's pregnant again. Okay, So his girl 249 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.480 leaves to the bathroom, car leaves. They're both crying, and 250 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.440 he looks at me and it was a great moment 251 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.120 and what are you gonna do? Like he gave me that, 252 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.440 like what can we do? And then I don't know, 253 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:41.559 maybe three four months later, walking down the village and yeah, 254 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.159 I love Oh god, I wish you, I wish you. 255 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.879 Guys knew the village so so great. And I'm walking 256 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.200 out Cornelia Street, a little tiny street with some coffee shops, 257 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.320 and okay, I'll get some coffee. You sit outside, and 258 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:59.039 there's Paccino sitting outside. I says, hey, remember me, our 259 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.600 girlfriends were both right in the bedroom. What else is new? 260 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.120 You know? I just he understood it. He got it. 261 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.320 He's a regular guy, he says, you know, the one thing. 262 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.240 You can't do. I'm not doing his voice right, you can't. 263 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.120 It's like he was so like just full of knowledge 264 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.080 for me. You know, he didn't even know me. You 265 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:25.799 can't change them. They change us, like just so loud, 266 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.759 and I'm like, yeah, no, you're right, you know. And 267 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.360 I told him his story about when I was with 268 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.080 Jennifer and we went to see American Buffalo on Broadway 269 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.919 and how brilliant it was. We waited by the stage 270 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.679 door and I left the play and I got my 271 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.919 mos to RX seven. I parked it on the street. 272 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.840 But you can't do because you get tickets, you get towed. 273 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.279 It's time square and I'm sitting there and we're waiting 274 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.840 for him to come out. The car's purring because you 275 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.440 know he's gonna jump in a town car and go 276 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.240 back to Jersey or whatever fuck he lives. Sure enough, 277 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.360 he comes out of that door, the stage door, and 278 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.279 he sees me, he and my wife. Immediately, he makes 279 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.400 a beeline to us, gives me a hug, gives my 280 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.400 wife a kiss. We love you al like, you know, 281 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.720 it's just fanning all over him. And he gets in 282 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.440 the car and we're right behind him, and I'm following him, 283 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.759 and my wife is dying. My god, he's right there 284 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.640 and red light. We go next to him. He's not looking. 285 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.480 Honk the horney looking the next one. Red light again, 286 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.720 I stopped. I rolled away. Heyl, come on, look at us. 287 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.200 He smiles, he looks. I said, my wife just wants 288 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.200 to give you a kiss. She loves you, all right, 289 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.440 you know what? Okay, next light, if it's red. We 290 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.759 got a deal, and it was red, and he jumped 291 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.680 out of the car. She hugged him, she kissed him. 292 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:48.599 Just just what life. The nero doesn't do that shit. 293 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.920 He's not that guy. Paccino was like, whatever you want, 294 00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:01.240 so great, And you know I mentioned uh a lot 295 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.279 of you. Some of you said, you know, I love 296 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.200 what you talked about living with that ache. What it 297 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.519 means to have an ache in your heart for someone 298 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.799 you love who's gone. And it's really important to live 299 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.680 with those aches. You just can't act like you know, 300 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:20.759 it's okay, it's actually preferable for you to be in 301 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.160 pain because you lost a loved one. Well, why would 302 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.559 you want to be regular? Why would you want to 303 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.559 walk and get over your day like nothing happened. No, 304 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.079 that says nothing to them. You want to be there 305 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.960 for this spirit, their soul, what they gave you. You want 306 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:39.720 to be hurt. It's okay, I've given I've given Kelly 307 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.440 Osbond a lot of shit because of her weight and 308 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.279 it looks like, you know, zampig plus drugs. And she 309 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.400 keeps saying my dad, and I'm so depressed of my dad, 310 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.480 And I start to feel bad for him, Like why 311 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.920 am I talking shit about it? You know, her father 312 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.359 did die and he was a legend, and yeah, you 313 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.920 know that's fucking at his little girl. Of course, he's 314 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.680 bigger than bigger than anything. Yeah, she's gonna be fucked 315 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:10.640 up for a while, you know. And she wrote or 316 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.000 said this to somebody that just exactly what I said 317 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.720 the other day. I lived with that ache. I want 318 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.000 to be in pain. I want to feel in pain 319 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.079 because my father's gone. That's what he's old. I just 320 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:29.640 said this. Now I'm crazy about Kelly as one. Although 321 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.799 I did love the picture of her the lavender hair. 322 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.680 I thought she was so fucking pretty. I'm like, God, damn, Kelly. 323 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.200 That was a while ago. But now she just just 324 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:41.680 like she's, you know, an old lady in a wig. 325 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.279 That's too big, and her fucking face is thin, her 326 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:53.079 body's shrunken. Uh, you know, sad. We all go through shit. 327 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.759 I wanted to say a few more things, but I 328 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.559 didn't say yesterday that are funny, And into the show 329 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.319 I'm like, oh, I should have said that. I should 330 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.039 have said this. When we used to go fishing, I 331 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.839 mentioned jack threw the umbrella rig into the water and 332 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.279 caught a couple of fluke and he had so many hooks, 333 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.920 five six hooks with different bait, and my father hated it. 334 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.599 My father would say, there he goes the fucking Puerto 335 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.000 Rican rig. Go ahead, jack throw the fucking Puerto Rican rigging. 336 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.640 What are you gonna get? And then Jackie started doing 337 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.599 the Puerto Rican rig. It was like a thing you're 338 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.440 gonna we control, or you want to just throw a 339 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:32.559 Puerto Rican rig, Let's just do a Puerto Rican ring. 340 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.519 It became a thing like it's completely acceptable, not umbrella rig, 341 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:45.240 Puerto Rican rig. This is what we did. And you know, 342 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.400 he was a great fisherman, and Frankie was Frankie is 343 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.200 a great fisherman. We were together a few summers ago 344 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.759 at Long Island and when a party built the three 345 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.119 of us, and it was a great time. I hadn't 346 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.279 seen him and we got together, weren't fishing at six 347 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.960 am on a party boat, and Frankie won the pool. 348 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.279 We got the biggest fluke. And there's some things don't change, 349 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.680 but to hear the seagulls and to smell the water 350 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.440 and the bait, and it was good to be back 351 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.559 on the isle and remember that the sights and sounds, 352 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.279 and I want to go back. I just I can't 353 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.559 believe what New York has become. I can't believe the 354 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:31.640 primaries yesterday, all these fucking Muslim socialist motherfuckers who are 355 00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:36.599 now running New York or I can't believe what I'm seeing. 356 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.920 And I'm really, I really feel bad, like you this 357 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.720 What else can we say? You've got to fight. You 358 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.319 can't just keep taking this. I was talking to Michael, right, 359 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.680 Michael's a proud Jew, okay, and he's like, Aj, you 360 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.519 have no idea. It's really fucking scary, Like everything is 361 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.680 that people were in a kafea and you can't talk 362 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:04.680 about your being Jewish, can't. It's fucking hunting season. I'm like, Michael, 363 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.759 I can't believe this shit. What happened? To New York. 364 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:15.799 It's over. Uh. Yeah. The Puerto Rican rig was great. 365 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:20.799 And I remember one day, just to give you a 366 00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.440 fishing story. We're out under the bridge, right. We used 367 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:25.319 to go crab it under the bridge with the lights 368 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.039 and flashlights, and us and another fucking one hundred and 369 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.000 twenty boats were doing the same thing, driving in and 370 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.640 out of pilings, looking for blue cloth crabs on top 371 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.799 of the water, scooping them over with your net with 372 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:41.000 the flashlight. It was great. We used to fill a 373 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.279 whole garbage can full of crabs. Crazy, crazy, Oh, it 374 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.440 was so good. And you know, we poured them in 375 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.400 the sink. They'd fall of the sink, they beat them 376 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:54.039 the floor, they'd run away sideways. You'd find one under 377 00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:58.279 the couch, you know, they just it was so plentyful 378 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.119 back then. The ocean, the bay provided, Oh my god, 379 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.680 I provided. And we're under the bridge one night, you know, 380 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.960 we're looking for crabs and we got the flashlights and 381 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:16.119 Frankie Jack sees at the bottom at the end of 382 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.240 the bridge the water was like four foot deep. He 383 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.759 sees a fluke. He sees this big we'll call him dormat. 384 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.880 A doormat fluke is laying because we saw like his 385 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.960 little spots on his body. It's right there. He's like, 386 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.000 I gotta get this fluke. He puts the net in 387 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:35.000 the water and he scoops it up, and I remember 388 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.160 it to this day. It was half in the net, 389 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.200 half not and he threw it backwards and it hit 390 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.160 Frankie's head and went in the bucket. I'll never forget it. 391 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.200 I'll never forget it. Like what a big fluke. And 392 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.640 we you know, bread it and batter it. Fluke and 393 00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.480 flounder was so great. What a great food, kids, all flounder. 394 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.079 You know, bread and flounder was like easy to cook. 395 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.200 It's like fish and chips. We had a ball. We 396 00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:14.720 had a ball and you know, I wrote this in 397 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.640 my book. There was a woman who lived I think 398 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:24.640 about I think it was Sayville, nice nice town on 399 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.279 the water, about twenty five minutes east of us on 400 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.079 the island. And we would take the boat there sometimes, 401 00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:35.880
