• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is Pluto TV. You put Pluto on your phone. It's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: got an million channels and there's a blue Bloods channel.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's just Blue Bloods twenty four hours a day. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I can just sit there and watch that all day.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But if it's the first five seasons, it's not the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: same because you're not in them, so you really really know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And uh yeah, but you know it was it was
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a great run Blue Bloods. I absolutely love doing it,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and uh, I don't know why no one. The big
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: question mark is why it was canceled. I know, as
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Manion viewers every week.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It was money. They just didn't want to spend the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: money anymore for the you know, it's because.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: If they weren't giving it to me.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But you know, if you if you watch Boston Blue,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and it's a fine show, but you could tell the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: writers were told keep it inexpensive. There's no car chases.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's always a foot chase. Oh really yeah, there's no
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: car chases, you know.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Boston Blue. I don't think there's anyone besides Donnie. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: mean there's no writers or produces from Blue Bloods. I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: mean it's completely different, you know, and Donnie always does
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a good job. And I think Lynn carry you. I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: see his guest star at Who's Yeah right, Lenn carry
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You is just incredible, incredible performer, singer, wonderful guy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it was a big Broadway start. Now
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I love Blue Bloods. He was great in the show.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: But in real life he's like the same age as
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Tom Selleck. How could he be his father?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: No, he's five years old. He's five years older. Well, listen,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he moves a little slower. But he's on this show
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: with Kevin Klein. Have you seen the show. It's on MG.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It's on MG and plus. I'll tell you what. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: like it a lot American classic. It's called and Len
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: is great in it. He plays Kevin Klein's father. Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: so I don't know how old is he there? Listen,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it's hard to get Tom Sellick's eighty one. What are
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you gonna get a guy one hundred and two to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: play his father? What are you so? What do you?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? You gotta you know, age appropriate?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: You know, you're trying to make it look, you know,
• 7:03

  Speaker 2: And you wonder if you probably get no residuals from
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Pluto TV.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure No, I don't think so.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sure another screw the actor again. There you go. So,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. You know, like you said,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it's got the first five seasons. Still got a lot
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of fans out there. Hey, it's got to like the Sopranos.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You know, it's got its own twenty four hour day channel.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It must be. It must be doing well. But for
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a guy to get into a hit series that's going
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to run ten years or whatever, that's the greatest thing
• 7:42

  Speaker 2: you go, boy, that was great, you know, But at
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the time you're so involved doing it, not unlike the Sopranos.
• 8:51
