  Speaker 5: good spirit. So I grew up with. You know, even

  Speaker 6: And uh and and sarcasm and making people laugh is
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: just kind.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Of part of the way we get through the winter.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: So uh yeah, you got to you gotta have a
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: sense of humor to go through those winners. So yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I mean I've always been around funny people, funny family.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Growing up, just just at the dinner table was just fun.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: We had We were either laughing or crying. There was
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: no in between. So for me, we always used to
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: kind of laugh to mask anything that was happening that
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: was getting serious. Even to this day, if I feel
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: somebody's gonna cry. I get uncomfortable, and I'm like, okay,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: we gotta get out. It is I that? Yeah, so
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: you don't go to funerals at all? Did I go
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: to funerals?
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: But I tend to You don't speak at them home?
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Actually, actually I would. If I were to speak at
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: a funeral, I would I would definitely go the humor route.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: I'm laughing at funerals just because I'm trying to break
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: up the the seriousness of it all.
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: What in the funeral would you be specifically joking about?
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: Because your solid comedy is so like you take like
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: random regular things and just like make it a joke,
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: like things that I wouldn't even think twice about because
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: it's just naturally what people do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, So the last funeral I went to, I was
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: with my sister. It was sad, but I started looking
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: around the room and I said, be nice if there
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: was like a cocktail service here, something to like like
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: a like a beverage. You know, you're you're there, you're sad.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Be nice. If somebody came up to you and said,
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: you need you need to you know, guess a wine
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: or something, and we just kind of start riffing off,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: like I wanna be nice to have like a like
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: a little food here and just make it a little
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: bit more of a lounge.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Like a all the funerals.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: If you knew there was gonna be good food and
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: some cocktails at a funeral once, you'd be more prone
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: to even attend the damn thing.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: The repast.
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: But by the repast, I mean you kind of are
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: at the point where you're hungry. So a lot of
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: the family issues that surround the funeral people don't care
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: about cause.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: They want to eat. Oh this is after in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: actual funeral, talking.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: About the wake with the body in the room.
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: Something you got like three girlfriends that like we're trying
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: to figure out who was the one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, your funerals you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Go to might just be grandma had passed, she got
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: two boyfriends.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: No, I do not. I don't. I don't.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: I've just been to a lot of funerals where there's
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: a lot of things that questioning you in the funeral
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: trying to figure out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: What's going on.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I'm going to like a grandmother and uncle.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: There's not like there's not anybody really wondering what's going
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: on outside of the person that died.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: She from Delaware. That's a little different. So there's anything
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: off the table with jokes with you politics.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I don't do politics. I don't think people want to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: hear that, especially when they're coming out to a show.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: You're inundated all day with the right and the left
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: and this, that and the other thing. I want to
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: give people a departure from that. I don't want to
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: be talking about any politics. And I've always said, whatever
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: my father is doing is a lot funnier than whatever
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: the president is doing, So I kind of stick to
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: my family. It was Trump to Trump is yeah. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: mean he's a funny. Some of the stuff that's coming
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: out of his mouth is extremely humorous. But I just
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: like leave that to people want to talk about politics.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: For me, I just I talk about my family. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: talk about I got two kids, I'm going to parent
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: teacher conferences. It's it's I'm drawing from my own life
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: and I'm not really paying attention to anything else.
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: I also see a lot of exaggerated like frustration in
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: your comedy, So like, like, do you could you talk
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: about being fed up about everybody talking about politics so much.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I could go that route. I mean
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I am a little fed up with the whole politic
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: talk and people, you know, getting separated by that. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I just tend to I don't know, I just I
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: think what we're all going through on a daily basis,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: whether it be you know, two boyfriends or.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, relationship problems, parents, you know. I just feel like
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: everybody would. It's relatable humor, observational humor. That's that's my lane.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What's the point of everyday life that annoys you the most?
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: God, everyday life. I got a problem right now with
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: people wearing in visil line during the day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: That bothers me too, And then you can see it
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: and hear it when they talk.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: That's all I'm looking at. If you had a visil
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: line on, I would be looking at your mouth and
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: how the saliva is in between the teeth and the
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: So I believe in visil line should be done at
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: night where nobody could see it while you're sleeping. That's
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: one of my pet peeves right now. Another one of
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: my pet peeves right now is the way people talk
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: these like buzzwords like I am on a journey, a healing.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Journey, healing whatever.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, put whatever you want in front of journey. Narcissists
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: not so much. That's not on my my hot list
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: of words that I don't like. Another word that's that's
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: a word that I don't even know really exactly what
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: that means.
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: I hear it a lot. Another word I don't like
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: is oh, I'm speaking my truth.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: It bothers me. Just these like buzzwords. So yeah, that's
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: that's another thing that that ain't right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: Because some people's truth could be complete lies, it could
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: be completely not accurate at all.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be definitely fabricated. And and I just
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: don't like people that are like picking up on these
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: buzzwords and and and implementing into their their their conversation
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: when they might not even know what that what they're
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: talking about.
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: And I think with the visit line to read the
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: people wearing visit line during the day because they don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: get enough sleep at night, Is that right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I really think that's the reason.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Are you Are you knocking off for good eight hours
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: at night?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: No? I try to get I try.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: I try to be in bed by nine to fifteen
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: because we gotta be up at like four fifteen, so
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: like six seven, but eight is like tough to do.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Are you mapping? Are you Are you guys like mapping
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: your sleep? Are you like, do you wear a sleep
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: mechanism that I'm na you think? What is it a
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: twenty minute nap? Are you going down with me?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I got to pick up my first door at at
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: two forty seven, so I try to between one and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: two forty quick little.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Hour in bed.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well my office either couch either.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta I gotta be like in a bed nap.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I can't like knock out on a couch and I
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: gotta get re ready to go to bed when I nap.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And how old are your kids?
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Eight and six?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: So you brought your son to wenty is showing and
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: he fell asleep?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Sleep? Yeah? Damn yeah.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: So you looked at and you see him sleep, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: did you wake him up?
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: At Ah? Listen, it's five. He was a five at
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: the time, So it's not like I was like, oh,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: my son is going to sleep. Although I told my
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: wife I should start doing my act during bedtime to
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: see if they fall asleep, because it's hard to get
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: him to bed, you know, but yeah, now he fall
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: asleep during the show. And the kids are probably one
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: of the hardest people to make laugh, I think, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: but they do have a sense of humor themselves.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We have a good we have a very fun, fun family.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, are you the popular dad at school? Like, dude,

• 9:36
  Speaker 5: an older father. I'm fifty two. I got a six
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: year old. So when i go to the school events,
• 9:41

• 9:49
  Speaker 5: So I'm like almost like a you know, like, oh,

• 9:56
  Speaker 5: the only dads that have gray hair. So that's where
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I am. But I feel like I'm bringing a bit
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: of wisdom to the to the school. Here. We go
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: to the soccer games and uh, you know, they're handing
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: out stickers at the end of the game and the
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: score goes backwards once they reach it. It was twelve
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: zero and then I went to nine zero because they
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: want to make the kids feel bad. I you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I have problems with that, and and I'm like, and
• 10:26

  Speaker 3: He does not slam me around. The mother said, is eleven.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Okay, So I got a six year old. What I've
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: been doing recently is I'm putting clown on my six
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: year old when he goes to school, and I'm asking
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: him when he comes home, is anybody comment on how
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: good you smell? He goes, no, I'm not getting anything.
• 11:12

• 11:57
  Speaker 9: Do I think six years old is No, I don't
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: think that's too young to be wearing cologne. But I
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: can also understand why the teachers don't want to comment
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: on it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, ever since Pizzagate, you can't be too safe.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if six year old walks
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: in smell like John Paul Gutier, you gotta comment on it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem, and I don't have a problem,
• 12:19

  Speaker 5: We kind of take our time with our kids and
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: make sure it looks.
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: The fatherhood changed the way you approach your comedy because
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: I know you use your family a lot and a
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: lot of your material.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Not really, but I mean it has. I'm extracting a
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: lot of humor out of being a parent, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: especially in today's day and age. Uh So, yeah, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: mean I'm always talking about what's going on in my

  Speaker 5: Why?
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: You just want to make him comfortable, so you can
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: you know, then dive open up a little bit.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So I just went and it was wondering. It
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: was just wonderful. No, I was. I was shocked. I've
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: never been put down like that on a front and
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: all and uh so good it was.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: It was we're talking about different things colons. Yeah, yeah
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: that we had that too.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I had that too. Talking about the prospect.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Oh I was he was great, Yeah, it was great, No,
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The drugs, it was fantastic.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the drugs. I thought I thought the drug was beautiful.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: But as I was going under, uh, there was a
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: nurse there and she goes, oh, I'm a I'm a
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: big fan, right, And I'm like what and she's like, yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: I saw you at the forum in Los Angeles and
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: I going, now you're going to see up my And
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, it's like, I don't really want
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: to hear that as I'm going under, but yeah, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: thought yeah, and I'm like you, I'm very preventive, you know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of times when it comes to health,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: people react to their health rather than you know, go
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: through the preventative measures. So I'm I'm into testing. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: like going in for not I don't like going in
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: for tests, but I'd rather know early rather than you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: my biggest fear is going to the doctor and they're
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: giving me pamphlets and going you know, you're you're you're
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: gonna die soon. So I'd rather know before.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Now we go week well, not together, but that sounds crazy.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: But for every little thing that we hear about, we
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: go to the doctor. If somebody dies, going to the doctor.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: If there's a heart problem with somebody, I'm going to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: check my heart.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: That's how.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: The bathto' starting to question whether you really got kids.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: I think you gay on you to be honest.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Are you a hypercontract? I mean, do you think you're
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: gonna die soon? No?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes you'll see a sign and yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: like let me check this out just to make sure.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Like somebody will die out of nowhere, and I want
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to know why they die and.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: You look at their age like fifty, Like wait, forty five,
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: I want to know what happened.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Okay. So if you hear that somebody passes away and
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: they're around your age and they die of diabetes or whatever,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: you're going to get fail you You're going to get
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: checked the next day, gotcha? Okay? So if nobody dies,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: you're good. You don't check nothing.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I don't check that somebody dies checking everything.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Now you come, You're you're Italian?
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Italian families they got their own universal characters, right, Like
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: which family member gave you the best comedy material without
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: even trying.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: My father was very, very funny growing up. He was
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: he's a hairdresser. He still is, seventy nine years old.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: He still doing hair. Wow. He was a bit of
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: a comedian, but his audience was the people that he
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: was doing in the chairs, So he had kind of
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: a captive audience for an hour doing a dye job,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: a haircut or what have you. So he was he's
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: a big personality. My mother is funny too, and my sister.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: But my father is a character in himself. He came
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: here when he was fifteen years old from Sicily, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: he kind of brought some of that kind of immigrant
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: mentality into kind of raising us. And yeah, we always
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: we always felt like he was the funniest one in
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: the family.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Well got him into being a hairdresser, was he.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: His father was a barber in Sicily, and then he
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: he likes to be called a stylist. He doesn't like
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: to be called a barber because he he creates style.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: He did some stuff with Robert de Naro too.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he de Niro played my father in a movie
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: that I co wrote, and then my father was teaching
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: de Niro on set how to do like blowouts and
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: die jobs, which I'm sitting here watching this going. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: would never thought in a million years that my dad
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: would be teaching de Niro hair tips, you know. But
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: de Niro wanted to know how to do hair, how
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: do you hold the comb? You know. He was very
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: interested in how my dad did things, so he could
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: portray my father in the movie very in an authentic way,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: and he even wanted to spend time with my dad
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: while de Niro was doing a movie in Oklahoma, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: he's like, I need your father to come down to
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma for three or four days spend some time with me. Now,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I call my dad. I go, Dad, de Niro needs
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: you to come to Oklahoma. And my Dad's like, Oklahoma,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: I got to work, you know. I'm like, de Niro's
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: calling you to Oklahoma. He's like, well, who's going to
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: do my clients? So I'm like, oh my god, So
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: my dad, and my dad's wondered how much he's gonna
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: get hate to do this. I go, Dad, just go,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: and you know, teach de Niro what you know? So
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: it was, it was, it was. It was a cool,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: cool feeling to have my dad kind of like teaching
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Robert de Niro how to be him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: So you had the freshest haircuts growing up.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: I don't think so necessarily. I I had a mullet,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: which I thought was beautiful, and then I permed out
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: my mullet in the back. I did a perm job
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: because I played soccer, and when playing soccer, you needed
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: your hair to like when you headed the ball, you
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: needed it to like flow. So but I don't know.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I had the best haircuts because
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: my hair is really colicky and it doesn't like lay right.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: But yeah, hair was really big growing up in our house. Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: my son has beautiful hair. I don't know who he's
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: taken after, but his hair is thick and nice. My
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: hair is kind of thin.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: What did your parents say when you wanted to become
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: a comedian?
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Very supportive. I mean you would think the opposite, coming
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: from like a traditional Italian family, that they would be like,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: you know, because we were just talking about this, The
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: entertainment business used to be something you were like, you're
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: going into the entertainment what are you crazy? There's no
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: health insurance. Nobody did like entertainment where I came from.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Now everybody's got a you know, a microphone and an
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: iPhone and right, it's just like there's no like in baseball,
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: there is the farm system where you come up and
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: then you be a pro. But now in entertainment it
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: just seems like you got a camera, you got you
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: gotta show, you know, And I don't know is that
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: a good thing. I don't know. I'm more of a traditionalist,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I guess, looking for more of like you kind of
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: have to work your way up to it rather than
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: just I don't know, I don't know. It just seems
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: like it's it's easy now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: And it makes the world one big reality show.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: And you're, like you said it, everybody's walking around with
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: a microphone and the camera and they think we're extras
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: in their goddamn show.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Like I hate that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no stereotypes ever ball to you, because there's so
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: many Italian stereotypes.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Did that ever bother you growing up? Or when you
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: do your count.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: You know, you get like the whole mob thing, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: oh what are you and the mob? Or what are you?
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Oh your father's and the mafia? So I mean I
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: just think that's from like people seeing Italians and movies
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. It's not like I got upset about that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: I mean there's some people that do the you know, hey,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: you know that that that gets a little, you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: under my skin. I don't necessarily I'm not the AO guy,
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: although you know sometimes that creeps out and doing stand up.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But Phonsie and Andrew Dice Clay, is.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: That is that is that who started started that they.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Went on with all the Italian movies, sopranos and all that, just.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But they were cool.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: Like when you look at Phonzie now compared to like
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: the guys on good Fellas, it's like, who was this cobo?
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but like Phonsie growing up was like we didn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: really have anything else to compare Phonzie too. I mean,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Phonzie wore a leather jacket and he put the juke
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: box on with his fist, and anytime Phonzie came into
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: the sea and you just knew it was everything was
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: gonna be okay. But yeah, I mean the stereotypes are there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: They necessarily don't really bother me with Henry Winkler really Italian, No,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: it's Jewish.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: I just I looked up Italian stereotypes of envy said that,
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: and Italians are always late.
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: That's the thing.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: No. I lived by the motto of punctuality is the
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: prince of politeness. I'm always early for anything.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You said, No, I think that's yours.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Well, are are all you on time? Like, generally speaking,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: are you on time? Good question?
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: We have CPT color people time.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: So depending on what I know what I'm saying, I
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: know what I'm saying. It depends what time are you
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: talking about the real time of our time? Like, okay,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: you're late into your fashion, be late. There's two types of.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Show started five wants to show to start at five
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: or five, so it starts at six.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Six six, and so you come in late.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Not all the time.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: I try not.
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: It's not like I'll purposely try to get here late.
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: But you know, shit happens in New York. It's a
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: garbage truck, I can and you know, in the morning,
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: it's a game of interest, So one little thing.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Can throw you what happens in the morning.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Shut you sell a lot arenas do I do?
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: And I'm always on time?
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: What part of success still feels strange to you?
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I think the money part of it is uh tough
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: for me to deal with, just because I grew up
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: in a middle class family and there's been no one
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: that really that in my life, in my like immediate family,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: that could I could go to questions about money because
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: they they they're not living the life that I'm living.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: So and I always think that this is going to
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: end tomorrow. You know, I'm like a saverer, so I'm
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: not like spending a lot of money on things. I'm
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: always like preparing for my tongue to fall out. So
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I grew up in a very negative type of family
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: where any type of positivity was looked upon like it's
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: going to end or you know, you know what I'm saying.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: So I don't know if you guys feel that way,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: If this you feel like, oh, are people going to
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: be listening tomorrow? You know I always go through like
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: people going to buy a ticket to come see me
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: the next time I come to New York City. Anyhow,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: you talk to people like, oh, yeah, you know you're
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: fine and don't worry about it this, and then I'm
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: constantly worried about very very I put a lot of
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: pressure on myself to deliver when I do these stand
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: up comedy shows because you know, I always look think
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: about it, this could be my last show.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, and especially if you've been
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: broke like I've been broke broke. You know, I've been fired.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: Four times from radio, you had to collect unemployment checked.
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: When you've had that feeling, you don't take nothing for granted.
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: Y you know, I save everything.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because you just never know, never know, you never know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: So very very cautious about spending.
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: What surprised you most about Hollywood versus stand up?
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: So like what the TV and film?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like when you did the movie with Roberts Denarro
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: about my father.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: Like, I know a lot of comedians that don't like
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: to do movies and TV shows because they hate the
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: whole hurry up and waiting.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. I don't necessarily like the
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: TV and film world just because of that. It's like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: you're there for twelve fifteen hours. You're sitting there waiting
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: for a cloud to move so you could say a
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: couple of lines. It's a little frustrating, especially as a comedian,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: where you're getting immediate reaction, you're going out, you're performing,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: you're right there, you know whether or not you're funny
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: or not, and it's an hour and a half. So yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't have a problem doing stand up comedy the
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: rest of my life. The TV and film thing is
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: it's fun. I mean, I just did a show called
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Bookie which lasted for two seasons, which I really enjoyed
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: playing a bookie in Los Angeles, and that I had
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: fun with because it was run really really tight. Chuck
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: LORI was was the writer on that, and he knew
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: exactly what he wanted and it moved quite fast. And
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: when you're doing comedy, it's all about a pacing. But yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: stand up is king. You can't you can't be going
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: out and doing stand up comedy for a live audience
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: every night. Yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: I saw you say that you thought Bookies could go
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: on for a couple of more seasons.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I was ready for you know, five
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: six seasons, but you know, people had other plans with
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: the show, so I was trying to get it back
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: up on the air, but I don't know, it's not
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: looking good.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: How did you convince Robert de Niro to be your father?
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: You know, I worked with de Niro on The Irishman,
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: so people thought I had like a connection to de Niro,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: like we were like talking on the phone, which was
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: not the case at all. Someone that was a producer
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: on about My Father got him the script. He read
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: it this is over COVID, and he's like really liked
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: it and wanted to have it read out loud with
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: a bunch of actors. So we came to New York,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: we read it out loud, and then you know, a
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks later said yeah, no, I'm ready to
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: do I you know, it was a dream to get him,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: but we didn't think we were going to get him
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: in the movie. But yeah, he ended up signing on
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: the next thing. You know, We're in Alabama for nine
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: weeks knocking out this movie, which didn't really have that
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: good of a time doing because I was a little
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I was nervous. I mean, I'm I'm working with arguably
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: one of the greatest actors of our time, and I'm
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: sitting here going I've never really worked on a movie
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: soup to nuts and being the star. So I had
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: a lot of anxiety during during that movie, but learned
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: a lot from working with him.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Would learn.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: He's all about doing business while he's acting. And I
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: generally was like, okay, you stay, stay here, you say
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: your lines. But he was always active, Like we were
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: packing a suitcase and he was you know, he was
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: packing the suitcase. He was he was concerned about what
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: toiletry is was he was going to be packing. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: I learned if you're acting while you're doing something, it's
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: a lot more natural than just kind of sitting there
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: and saying the line. So always looking for something to do,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: and then I had a cry at the end of
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: the movie which I couldn't get to crying. I did
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: the two takes with him, and I actually asked him.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: I said, I'm having a hard time with this, and
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: he's like, well, I think of my son when I'm
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: doing this scene with you, I'm thinking of my son.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: And he actually started to cry talking about his son.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: And then I started to cry watching him cry, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: I go, I got to use this. And then we
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: started in the scene and I was already emotional. So
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: just getting to places that I didn't think I could
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: get to, I stole from him or he helped me with.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it was I took that into other experiences
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: moving forward and acting in TV film films.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Do you feel famous?
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: Uh? No, here, I'll give you an example this this
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: past weekend. Yeah, And I'm like, are they even gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: know who who he's spoofing? Or do they think this
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: is a character that he's he's introducing. So no, I
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: don't think I don't know. No, I don't think. I
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: don't I don't I don't behave famous, I don't I
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: don't walk around with a lot of people, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: it's not like I'm you know, it's just me and
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Soca coming in here. I'm sure you have people that
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: come in here with a large group of people no reason.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: But absolutely positively I.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: See this show. I mean it's like who's who's the guest?
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: You know, said to take people behind the guy. But no,
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: I've always kind of kept it low key, and no,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't feel I don't feel famous at all.
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: How do you feel when you saw this sketch when
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: it was like in real time? Did people hit you
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: up there?
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: No, I was doing show. They actually asked me to
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: be a part of it. They call me Thursday and
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: said we would love to have you come in at
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: the end. But unfortunately I was going to be in
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Palm Springs doing a show, so I couldn't get out
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: of that. But when I did see it on the
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: way home from that, I was, I was, I was
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: flattered that that that they did that, and and it
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: was funny. I mean it was funny. It was very
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: over exaggerated body movements, and uh, it was it was
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: fun to see. And I've never hosted the show, so yeah,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: I mean I got more traction on that that skit
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: then I've gotten in any skit that I've ever been in.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, there was more like heat around the that
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: video than any video that I've been in personally, So
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: it was it was nice to see and I'm a
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: big fan of that guy, Marcelo. I think he's definitely
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: going places.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: How did they never had you host the show?
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: You sound like my dad. I don't know. I've never
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: been asked, and I would love to do it. Hopefully
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: this this, this, this will get me on who knows,
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: but yeah, I would love to do it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: How do you decide what's okay to talk about on
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: stage when it comes to family or does everybody automatically
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: content and they know it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: I had to only ask my mother in law if
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: it was okay to do a joke about her husband
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: dying because no, no, no, this is actually the grave site.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: They they bought plots together, right, and then her husband
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: died and then she remarried. So when we went to
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: go see my wife's father, I was looking at the
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: other grave, which was for my mother in law, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: the joke was is my mother in law going to
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: get buried with the original husband or is she going
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: to get buried next to the husband she has. Now.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I thought I thought it was a little sensitive to
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: be talking about that, but she's like, no, No, everybody's
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: been really really gracious about being a part of my act.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And I'm not really malicious when I talk about people
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: in my act. It's the kind of tongue in cheek.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: It's very you know, it's coming from a good place.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: So yeah, they've been My wife in particular, has been
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: really really supportive. My mother is wondering why she's not
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: in the act. More so, she's a bit offended that
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: she's not. She's like, why are you always talking about
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: your dad? I'm funny. I'm like, damn, it's just the
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: way it is. You know, if you do something that
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: I think should be in the act, that's not like
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I'm I also want to like protect my mom. I
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: don't know, there's something about like not talking about my
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: mom on stage. I think my dad. My dad loves it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: My dad's like, you know, talk about being famous. He
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: thinks he's famous. He goes into a restaurant and he's like,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: they don't know me. I go with it. Why would dad?
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: So yeah, he loves when people come up to him
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: and oh are you Subastian's father, so he's kind of
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: relishing in the moment.

  Speaker 1: Do you write jokes abounch of mone, you just don't
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: use them.

• 35:04
  Speaker 5: just more like i'll recant a story that I lived.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: But yeah, with my mother, I don't know what it is.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: It's just sometimes she makes me laugh. But I never
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: kind of put her in the act for for whatever
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: the reason, I don't know. But there's a few things
